"Professor Clark of Cincinnati Children's Hospital was careless during an experiment, and a White Mouse fell into a Perfluorochemical solution. Professor Clark did not notice at the time. Three hours later, he saw it, but the White Mouse had somehow not drowned and was swimming around like a fish."
"Current Perfluorocarbons can carry oxygen without binding to it. Their oxygen-carrying capacity is twenty times that of water and twice that of blood. Some premature infants suffer from Respiratory Distress Syndrome, so Perfluorocarbons are used to supply them with oxygen."
"But whether it is Hemoglobin Oxygen Carrier or Perfluorocarbon, its current function is only temporary buffering. They first provide oxygen to patients, allowing them to live until their bone marrow produces enough blood cells—or at least until the Blood Bank is replenished."
Lou Jinghui paused. "There's an old movie, Jackie Chan's Who Am I? Have you seen it?"
The people in white coats were startled. Some nodded, while others shook their heads.
"There's a scene in that movie where Jackie Chan gives an injured person a coconut-water transfusion to replenish their blood. Coconut water contains no bacterial cells, flagella, or other particulate antigens, so it does not cause an obvious rejection reaction. At the same time, the fructose in coconut water can be used directly by tissue cells, and its osmotic pressure is higher than that of water, so it does not burst red blood cells."
"It is said that the Japanese and British used coconut water for intravenous injections during World War II, temporarily saving the lives of critically wounded soldiers in emergency battlefield conditions. In India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh, some cholera patients were also injected with tender coconut water."
"So in my view, whether it is Hemoglobin Oxygen Carrier or Perfluorocarbon, they are essentially just oversized coconut water—something that
