Chapter 605 Salute to Greatness
Artemisinin?Lupus?
Can these two irrelevant things be brought together?
Forgive them for reading less, they really couldn't think of it.
Of course, before they could figure it out, Tu Youyou who was on the floor had already spoken again: "My other report today is to use artemisinin to cure lupus erythematosus!"
"There is a saying that a scientist's inspiration is like a white dove that disappears in a flash, but in the field of life sciences, this white dove becomes that incredible coincidence again and again."
"The discovery that artemisinin can cure lupus is actually a coincidence. When we were testing the treatment for artemisinin resistance, we drew blood from a patient."
"In his blood, antinuclear antibodies can be positive, rheumatoid factor can be positive, immunoglobulins (IgG, IGA, IGM) can be elevated at the same time, and anti-ENA antibodies can be positive."
"After further testing and diagnosis, we learned that this patient is a carrier of lupus erythematosus."
"According to the procedure, this sample should be invalidated, but due to the progress of the test, this sample was finally kept and the test was successful."
"Coincidentally, after the addition of artemisinin, the virus in the blood was significantly reduced."
"That's why we started a trial of artemisinin as a cure for lupus."
More than 50.00% is considered a miracle, and more than 80.00% can only be described as a miracle.
Throughout China, there are more than one million patients suffering from lupus erythematosus.
"The test report behind me is the same as the previous one, and its sample size has also reached the previous one."
Lupus erythematosus is known as an incurable disease. Looking at the entire medical field, there is no drug that can completely cure him.
Although it is only a skin disease, the damage it causes is huge. It can cause many complications, such as joint pain, chronic bursitis, hair loss, light sensitivity, etc.
Although it is not fatal, it has a great impact on people's normal life.
Qin Luo swallowed carefully.
Tu Youyou's achievements are really too high.
If artemisinin can be useful for lupus erythematosus, it will end the embarrassing situation of "no cure" and allow artemisinin to benefit more patients.
"Guru..."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Even though he was the owner of the system, he couldn't help being a little startled at this moment.
"According to previous clinical observations, I found that artemisinin is effective in treating discoid lupus erythematosus and systemic lupus erythematosus. They are as high as 90% and 80.00% respectively."
If it is said that the former discovery, his scope of action is the whole world, which is more beneficial to foreign countries, then the latter achievement will benefit China.
Healing millions of people with a wave of hands has touched the ceiling of life science.
His achievements are comparable to those of Alexander Fleming who invented penicillin.
Alexander Fleming, a famous American scientist, first discovered penicillin in 1928.Later, the world-renowned pathologist Fraure and biochemist Chain further researched and improved it, and successfully used it to treat human diseases. The three won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
The advent of penicillin brought mankind into a new era of synthetic drugs, and his discovery saved hundreds of millions or even billions of people.
Tu Youyou and Fleming, two Nobel laureates, are equally great.
