这竟然是真的
These two days, the global medical community
被一个咱们西安交大毕业的
I graduated from Xi'an Jiaotong University by a
90后华人女教授
Post-90s Chinese female professors
彻底刷屏了
Completely swiped the screen
太震撼了
It was amazing.
人类寿命又要迎来新的突破
The human lifespan is about to usher in a new breakthrough
事情是这样的
Here's the thing.
斯坦福助理教授赵瑞可
Stanford Assistant Professor Zhao Ruike
用一台只有两毫米的微型机器人
With a tiny robot that is only two millimeters
把血栓清除
Clear the clot
成功率从可怜的11%直接干到了90%
The success rate went from a poor 11 percent to a 90 percent success rate.
这是什么概念
What is this concept?
8倍的提升
8X improvement
整个医学界都炸锅了
The whole medical community is fried
大家都知道
You all know that.
血栓是脑梗心梗的真正元凶
Thrombosis is the real culprit of cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction
抢救的时候是分秒必争
Every second counts.
因为血管一堵
Because of a clogged blood vessel
细胞是每分钟都在成片成片死亡
The cells are slicing away and dying every minute.
如何快速高效的打通血管
How to open blood vessels quickly and efficiently
这是生命攸关的大事
This is a matter of life
但你可能不知道的是现代社会呢
But what you may not know is that modern society
大概每十几个个人当中就会有一个
About one in every dozen people
在一生中遭遇血栓
I've had blood clots in my life.
特别是久坐族三高人群
Especially sedentary people with three highs
传统的机械取栓成功率只有11%左右
The success rate of traditional mechanical embolectomy is only about 11%
这是什么感觉呢
And how does that feel?
就像用筷子夹散了的豆腐渣
It's like tofu residue picked up with chopsticks
越夹越碎
The more you clip, the more broken it is.
面对那些纤维蛋白含量高的顽固血栓
With those stubborn clots that are high in fibrin
更是束手无策
There's nothing we can do.
还有更可怕的
And it gets worse.
在拉扯切割的过程中
During the process of pulling and cutting
如果这些碎片顺着向下
If these fragments go down
就会堵塞下游更细小的血管
It can clog smaller blood vessels downstream
反而呢会让病情雪上加霜
On the contrary, it will make the condition worse
病人等不起
Patients can't afford to wait
医生更着急
Doctors are more anxious
但传统方法就是这么无奈
But the traditional approach is so helpless
直到这位90后华人女教授出现
Until this post-90s Chinese female professor appeared
赵瑞可的方法简直是降维打击
Zhao Ruike's method is simply a dimensionality reduction blow
两毫米的小家伙深入到血管中
Two millimeters down into the veins.
高速旋转
High speed rotation
通过旋转产生的剪切力重塑血栓结构
Remodeling the structure of the thrombus through shear forces generated by rotation
利用压力差把血栓压缩成紧实的小球
A pressure differential is used to compress the clot into a tight ball
体积呢缩小到原来的5%
The volume has been reduced to 5% of the original.
然后一口气吸走
Then take it away in one breath
关键是整个过程不依赖药物
The key is that the whole process does not rely on drugs
不损伤血管壁
Does not damage blood vessel walls
还能最大程度的保护红细胞
It also maximizes the protection of red blood cells
在动物实验中
In animal experiments
面对最难处理的血栓
Facing the most difficult thrombosis to handle
成功率竟然高达90%
The success rate is as high as 90%.
这个结果让他们团队自己都震惊
The team itself was shocked by the result.
你知道更震撼的是什么吗
Do you know what's even more shocking?
这个灵感
This inspiration
竟然来自我们最熟悉的地铁盾构机
It actually came from the subway shield machine we are most familiar with
血栓的问题呢
What about blood clots?
跟地铁盾构机遇到的挑战很像
Similar to the challenge encountered by the subway shield machine
那就是怎么在狭窄的空间里
That's how to be in a confined space
把坚硬的这个土石快速的处理掉
Quickly dispose of this hard earth and rock
盾构机的做法是旋转压缩吸走
The method of the shield machine is to rotate, compress and suck away
于是血管盾构机诞生了
And so the vascular shield was born.
是的你没听错
Yes, you heard that right.
那个在地下挖隧道的巨无霸
The big Mac who tunnels underground
被这位天才华人缩小了上万倍
Shrunk tens of thousands of times by this talented Chinese
放入了人体血管
Inserted into human blood vessels
这就是华人的智慧
This is the wisdom of the Chinese people
从英伟达黄仁勋
From NVIDIA Huang Renxun
到AMD苏姿丰
To AMD Su Zifeng
再到斯坦福的赵瑞可
Or Rick Zhao at Stanford.
华人正在全球科技舞台发光发热
The Chinese are shining brightly on the global technology stage
今年的6月4号
June 4th this year
这项技术
This technology
已经发表在全球顶级期刊《Nature》上
Has been published in top journals Nature
目前呢已经在猪的身上试验成功
So far, it has been successfully tested on pigs
虽然我讲的这些研究呢
So these studies I've been talking about.
目前大多数都在实验室阶段
Most are currently in the laboratory stage
但是技术突破本身就是让人振奋
But the breakthrough itself is exciting
更何况有了AI的加持
What's more, with the blessing of AI
未来的研究和落地都会大大加快
Future research and implementation will be greatly accelerated
而且呢这个技术未来不仅仅是清血栓
The future of this technology is not just about clearing blood clots
连肾结石胆结石这些
Even kidney stones and gallstones
估计都能轻松的解决
It is estimated that it can be easily solved
试想一下一个两毫米的机器人在你体内转一圈
A two-millimeter robot goes around inside you.
各种堵塞的问题全部搞定
All kinds of blockage problems are solved
再也不用担心久坐猝死血栓堵塞
You don't have to worry about sitting for a long time and dying from clogged blood vessels.
我相信这不是遥远的科幻
I believe this is not far-flung science fiction
这是我们这代人
This is our generation.
就能享受到的长寿科技
Longevity technology that you can enjoy
而华人智慧
And Chinese wisdom
正在为全人类的健康长寿开路
Is paving the way for the health and longevity of all humanity
我是子子
