I looked at him in astonishment, "You mean, your research cannot solve the fundamental problem of treating this disease?"
He nodded, "Yes."
I was immediately shocked, but then I thought that since this person dared to tell me such a thing, he must have a reason.
I looked at him, "Then what level has your research reached?"
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and I knew he was surprised that I didn't show any particular surprise just now. He said: "My research has solved a problem, that is, the symptoms can be eliminated quickly."
I understood immediately, "You mean, the biological agent you invented can cure the disease, but it will still relapse?"
He nodded, "Yes."
That's it. I pondered, but couldn't help but ask him the following question, "Dr. Cui, I'm sorry, I really want to ask you another question."
He smiled slightly at me, "Mayor Feng, I know what you want to ask me. What you want to ask me is: can my research only go to this step, or do I deliberately only go to this step? Is that so?
?”
I thought to myself: It's different when talking to smart people, many things tend to become much simpler. I nodded to him, "That's right. Of course, this question has nothing to do with whether this project will be settled in our industrial park.
Because I am also studying medicine, I am very curious about this issue."
He shook his head, "No, you are doubting my professional ethics. But I understand why you think that way, because as a scholar, this is a matter of professional ethics.
Mayor Feng, although you are now an official, you still attach great importance to this issue in your heart, so I admire you very much. As I said before, this disease is a problem in the world. Although after many years of research, I
However, it can only solve the problem of eliminating symptoms as soon as possible, and with continuous improvement of the preparation process, the curative effect can only be maintained for about half a year at most.
However, I will conduct further research on the formula of the preparation in the future. In the future, my company will set up a special research institute to continuously introduce new drugs that have special effects on other diseases."
His explanation made me completely convinced. As for the world's medical problems, if someone can really completely overcome them, he will definitely be the winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
I said: "Your current research results are also very impressive. Dr. Cui, can you introduce your other scientific research projects?"
He smiled slightly and said, "Of course.
There is another study that will be completed soon, which is a biological agent for the treatment of leukemia. Of course, such agents can only solve the problems of a small number of patients. Like psoriasis, leukemia is also a worldwide medical problem.
But if my preparation can cure 10% of leukemia patients, that would be a remarkable research result. Judging from all the trials I have conducted so far, it should be able to achieve such an effect."
I nodded, "A cure rate of one percent can be considered a great invention, because what you save is life."
His mood was immediately aroused by me, "Thank you, Mayor Feng. I'm glad you can understand it this way. Regarding the treatment of leukemia, I drew on the records of the motherland's medicine, extracted arsenic as raw material, and used biological
Technology has been used to restructure it, and such a biological agent is the first of its kind in the world."
I was shocked again, "Arsenic? Isn't that a highly toxic substance?"
He smiled slightly and said: "Mayor Feng, maybe you have forgotten one thing: the main substance of arsenic is arsenic. Only when it is taken orally, it will be extremely toxic through the action of gastric acid, mainly destroying the respiratory enzymes of cells.
, causing tissue cells to be unable to obtain oxygen atoms and die; it can also strongly stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing mucosal ulceration and bleeding; it can also damage blood vessels, cause bleeding, damage the liver, and in severe cases, cause death due to respiratory and circulatory failure.
However, arsenic is not toxic when it enters the blood directly. In particular, arsenic trioxide extracted from arsenic has a very good therapeutic effect on certain types of leukemia.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there has always been the saying of using poison to fight poison. Folk prescriptions also say that arsenic, light powder, toad and other poisons are used to prepare prescriptions to treat various cancers.
After years of careful research, I finally made a breakthrough on this project."
I suddenly felt a sense of shock in my heart, because I also studied medicine and fully understood what the invention of such a preparation would mean. It can be said that the invention of this preparation is definitely of epoch-making significance. I said: "You
The drug under study will definitely be a national first-class new drug in the future."
He proudly said: "Of course."
The so-called national first-class new drugs refer to: drugs that are not marketed at home and abroad; raw materials and preparations obtained by synthetic or semi-synthetic methods; new effective monomers and preparations extracted from natural substances or through fermentation.
Its preparations; optical isomers of known drugs prepared by separation or synthesis and other methods and their preparations; drugs prepared from multi-component drugs already on the market into smaller components; new compound preparations;
Preparations sold domestically have new indications that are not approved at home or abroad.
In the final analysis, a new type of drug is a drug that has never appeared before and has very high-tech content. Such drugs are often sold at extremely high prices, and the major part of the price is the intellectual property rights of the drug.
It can be seen that his project has extremely high technological content and huge economic benefits. At this time, I suddenly became excited.
I said: "Dr. Cui, regarding your project, from my preliminary understanding today, there should be no problem in settling in our industrial park in the future, and we will definitely give you the greatest policy support by then.
You are from our Jiangnan Province, and we very much welcome you to return to your hometown to start a business, and at the same time, thank you for putting your business in your hometown."
He smiled at me and said, "Mayor Feng, you're welcome."
I immediately asked him: "Dr. Cui, what do you think is the biggest difficulty that you may encounter in starting a business in the future?"
He replied: "There is only one problem, and that is the problem of funds. As I said before, in addition to using it for research projects, the rest of my savings in the United States have basically been invested in drug approval. At present, I have the remaining
I don’t have much capital left. To be honest, apart from the fact that Jiangnan Province is my hometown, I mainly came here because of the preferential policies of the high-paying technology entrepreneurship park.” (To be continued)
