Zhan Wenlian - the first "patient" to freeze in China and wait for resurrection!

Original title: Death "Pause": Yin and Yang Crossing in Liquid Nitrogen Tank - China's first local human frozen story exhibition Wenlian's "Tomb" is a crown.
she was sleeping head-down in a 2,000-litre liquid nitrogen tank.
it was -196C, and the passage of time left little trace on her body.
a corridor between the temporary residence of Zhang Wei and Zhang Wenlian, is the navel blood bank in Shandong Province.
more than 100,000 cord hematopoietic stem cells are kept here, like a high life insurance, the probability of being used is very low, but - "what if?" No one knows for sure what the future holds.
's preservation of his wife's remains is also a bet on the future - in theory, frozen people may be resurrected.
gui Junmin hopes his wife will wake up soon.
they were all only 49 years old, and they were all young.
but he knew it was urgent.
" to wait for her disease to cure and wake up, otherwise it doesn't make sense.
't make sense to wake up, does it?
" Gui repeated, as if reminding himself.
was the first "patient" to freeze in China and wait for a resurrection.
, May 8, 2017, at 4:01 a.m., Ms. Zhan's breathing and heartbeat stopped and the attending doctor declared the patient dead.
but she's going to have another operation.
of the Yinfeng Life Sciences Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as Yinfeng Research Institute) and Qilu Hospital of Shandong University.
They injected anticoagulant, antioxidant and central neurotrophic drugs into her body and physically cooled her by rapidly infusing ice saline through the circulatory system, while implementing a tube intrinsic tube, activating cardiopulmonary support equipment such as a ventilator and Medtron Ficon CPR machine Lucas 2 to protect her body's blood supply and oxygen supply and maintain the body's physiological function.
, Ms. Zhan's body was taken to an ambulance.
flashing police lights and the ambulance left the eastern courtyard of Qilu Hospital and headed for Yinfeng Research Institute.
, the exhibition will go through the most critical step before freezing - irrigation.
Drake, an American expert, is no stranger to the upcoming process.
's visit to Yinfeng Research Institute, he had worked for nearly a decade at Alcor, the largest human freezing facility in the United States, and had been involved in more than 70 human cryothesia operations.
in his view, "death" is not a transient concept, nor is it irreversible.
even if the heart stops, breathing stops, the human body and brain, still "live."
in Alco, frozen people are called "patients".
death-desoring sickle had been wielded, but the wound had not yet widened.
Aaron Drake has been doing is pressing the pause button for the process of death.
but before the body enters its final cryogenic preservation phase, he must ensure, as far as possible, that the "patient" is not or less damaged by freezing.
enemy of freezing is the ice crystals formed by water at low temperatures, which can pierce the inner walls of cells and cause great damage.
, freezers must replace blood and moisture in the body with special antifreeze.
with Aaron Drake, a heart surgeon, anesthesiologist and in vitro circulatory perfusionist at Qilu Hospital, Shandong University.
they set up a double-path in vitro circulation from the neck and unit of Zhan Wenlian, and lowered her body temperature to about 18 degrees Celsius on a specially made cryogenic operating table.
, then, transparent, milky white antifreeze, slowly injected into the body of the exhibition.
cooling is still going on, and the antifreeze is getting thicker and thicker.
it will become solid, but it won't freeze.
process, called "glassing."
water irrigation was finally completed, nearly six hours later.
, the body was transferred to a large-scale program to cool the bed.
Drake praised the bed, and Alcoa did not have such equipment.
is the only automatic control device in the world that continuously lowers the entire human body from room temperature to around -190 degrees Celsius.
it uses liquid nitrogen vapor for rapid cooling and is equipped with multiple temperature sensors that monitor temperature changes in dozens of locations in real time.
the entire process, which took 55 hours.
Aaron Drake was pleased with the results.
"Look, there's a perfect cooling curve.
" he took out his cell phone and looked excited, "the curve dropped smoothly, which meant that our irrigation worked well and the patient had no or only a small amount of ice crystals in his body."
" 2, for Yinfeng Research Institute, Zhan Wenlian is also their real frozen first human body.
Research Institute was established in 2015 by Yinfeng Bioengineering Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yinfeng Bio).
, it writes that it is a specialized research institution for genetic engineering, stem cell technology development, cryogenic preservation and resuscitation of human cells, tissues and organs, cell therapy, and the transformation of regenerative medicine.
, Yinfeng Research Institute launched the Yinfeng Life Sciences Foundation in Shandong Province to promote the development of life sciences.
it funds four research programs: the Life Continuity Research Program, the Tissue And Organ Bank Program, the (dry) Cell Medical Transformation Research Program, and the Genetic Engineering Program.
, who heads the China Foundation, doesn't want to be liked to think that the Yinfeng Institute is "just" a human freezing company.
after all, human freezing is like a rage.
, it is being questioned for peddling impossible promises.
as far back as the resurrection is still a distant topic.
in the lab, even for animals like mice and rabbits, there are no complete cases of cryogenic freezing and resurrection.
Liu Jing, a researcher at the Institute of Science, Technology and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in an interview with Science and Technology Daily that only relatively simple biological objects can be successfully preserved at low temperatures, and even the low temperature freezing of human organs is very difficult, let alone the human body.
freezing the human body is, in Jason's view, the ultimate goal of cryogenic biology, which is a logical thing to do.
cells can freeze, the next step is tissue organs, and then the next step is the human body.
Jason stressed that "human freezing" is only a popular expression, a more scientific expression, should be "human low temperature preservation."
, since 2013, Yinfeng creatures have been exposed to human freezing.
team visited human freezing facilities in Russia and the United States and signed strategic cooperation agreements with them.
the two largest human freezing agencies in the United States, the Alco and the Human Refrigeration Institute, were founded in the 1970s and by August 2017, they had frozen more than 200 "patients".
visit, the mystery of human freezing fades.
at the Yinfeng Institute, admitted that neither the hardware nor the understanding of cryogenic biology were worse than the well-regarded freezers.
", they (the United States and Russia) did it, or too rough.
" Yinfeng biological pondering their own in the domestic implementation of human freezing.
, the first person in China to receive human freezing appeared.
she is Du Hong, a Chongqing writer and one of the editors of the science fiction novel "The Three Bodies".
may 2015, Du Hong's choice of refrigeration facility is Alco, United States.
recommends freezing only the head so that the irrigation works better.
believe that as long as the brain structure can be preserved intact, people's memories will not disappear.
"patients" can recover from the ice in the future, re-creating the body is certainly not a problem.
Du Hong's daughter wrote in a circle of friends: Mom, we see you in the future.
Duhong is very important.
she has made "human freezing", which has been confined to small circles, a bit of sci-fi, a public topic in a sense.
can also get a glimpse from Baidu's index.
before Du Hong's massive report in September 2015, the search index for "human freezing" was zero;
also after that, Yinfeng Research Institute began to contact people who want to freeze themselves or their loved ones.
Yinfeng Research Institute has never publicly publicly publicized their plans, but it is no secret that in the human freezing circle it wants to freeze the human body itself.
" 2016, we reached out to more than a dozen patients because of various chances.
," Jason said.
the families of patients across China with the last hope of finding Yinfeng Research Institute.
some of them were recommended by Alco in the United States.
the first half of 2017 alone, 12 more patients' families contacted them.
3, Gui military and civilian is not the same.
he had not approached Yinfeng Research Institute, nor did he feel he had any connection to the company.
until earlier this year, when he first heard the word "human freezing" from ward director Aviv.
, Zhan Wenlian had been ill for more than a year and had multiple metastasiss of lung cancer.
that his wife's recovery was hopeless, Gui Junmin transferred her to the comfort medical complex of Qilu Hospital.
it also has a better known name, the hospice ward.
" people even if they want to go, but also go with dignity, do not make a mess.
" this is Gui's insistence.
of comfort treatment is to improve the quality of life of patients at the end of the course of the disease and reduce pain.
it no longer or rarely does interventional treatment.
for Gui Junmin, he is ready to "die" with his wife.
But the class shows him a new possibility - that if a human remain is preserved in extremely low temperatures, he or she may be awakened and resurrected until his or her disease is cured in the future.
gui Junmin accepted the concept almost without hesitation.
"I believe in new technology, (resurrection) is entirely possible."
" he himself opposed cremation, freezing his wife's body and leaving a trace of hope.
"I'm educated, it's easy to get human freezing."
", Gui Junmin has been the most staunch supporter of frozen wives.
what people say, he doesn't care.
"We're going to do this, no one's going to do it."
some friends, colleagues, know is also muttering, I do not listen, and I have nothing to do.
, " he paused, accentuated the tone, "and not your loved ones, only I have the deepest personal feelings."
" Gui Junmin and Zhang Wenlian Qingmei Zhuma, have known each other for more than 30 years.
into the comfort ward, Zhang Wenlian was already disingenuous and limited in her ability to express himself.
this matter, Gui Junmin made the master.
decision is made, all that remains is a variety of communication and detail confirmation.
in order to allow the freeze to take place within the framework of Chinese law, Gui also signed two documents - the consent to the donation of the remains and the informed consent to the Yinfeng Life Renewal Plan.
's body was donated to Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, where she was eligible for donation, and in this way she became a volunteer for the "Life Continuity Program", a research project of Yinfeng Research Institute.
4, the frozen funds of Zhan Wenlian, mostly from Yinfeng Life Sciences Foundation.
the amount of personal contribution, Yinfeng Research Institute and Gui Junmin did not disclose specific figures.
Told Science and Technology Daily that he had only "expressed his intentions" but "really didn't have much money";
"If you approve of this and want to contribute to the cause of scientific research, you will donate some money to the foundation."
how much you donate depends entirely on the individual.
," Jason said.
but it does cost a lot to freeze the body.
Yinfeng Research Institute staff a list of their expenses: liquid nitrogen canisters, 400,000; program cooling equipment, 400,000; in vitro circulation machine, 1 million; ventilators, 780,000; laboratory construction, 5 million..." For every freeze, the cost of cryoprotezers 1 0000 is 2.3 million.
other supplies for surgery, specialist costs, ambulance costs, etc.
" human body into a low-temperature preservation state, every 10 days to half a month need to replenish liquid nitrogen, the cost of about 50,000 yuan per year.
" is currently all about input, no return.
," Jason admits.
but he didn't want to get too much to do with the cost.
"I'm tired of people talking about money as soon as they come up."
" he leaned back in his chair, "it's not a 'money' thing."
", cites the example of Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, two world-class billionaires who have created foundations related to life sciences.
Zuckerberg wants to end all human diseases, Bill Gates wants to promote global equality in health and education.
Yinfeng Research Institute staff also joked that if you can find such an emotional and influential big curry as Ma Yun for cryogenic biology sound, that low-temperature biology "hot" up is also available.
" has frozen so many people now, and if someone really wakes up in the future, you know what that means? "It means that the 1 percent of the world's rich do it.
as an atheist, Jason prefers to believe in "human freezing" than "God."
he believes that if the human body freezes to have more followers and believers, cryogenic biology can develop with it.
, director of the General Department of Comfort Medicine at Qilu Hospital, is one of the "followers."
to donate the body, there is no psychological barrier to a doctor with decades of experience.
" doesn't mention the resurrection first.
you freeze people, it's the equivalent.
