In the days that followed, Bai Ye returned to his previous scientific research work.
He didn't dare to waste a day!
Now it seems that time is life!
Can't afford any delay!
With Monica's illness, the scale of the fever has expanded again, and more and more people have been infected with this disease.
The whole of South Africa is in a downturn.
And more and more countries have joined in and begun to conduct large-scale research.
The Baiye Research Institute has successfully obtained many cases with the help of Ethiopian officials.
Human experiments officially begin.
Baiye Research Institute had already achieved some achievements, and soon made many breakthroughs.
The next day, in the laboratory of Baiye Research Institute, a new discovery shocked everyone!
The source of infection is a special kind of mosquito!
This mosquito is much smaller than a mosquito and is even harder to notice.
Baiye Research Institute also successfully captured some.
The next step is to study mosquitoes.
This mosquito belongs to the branch of Aedes albopictus, but there is no detailed introduction to this mosquito.
It's better to say it's a branch than a variant, because these mosquitoes are so small, just about the size of those flying bugs.
After the animal experiments began, everyone was surprised to find that there was not much reaction from the animals.
After biting human skin, this mosquito will release a substance that will be quickly taken away after entering the serum and will not even cause an allergic reaction in the human body.
This is something people have to pay attention to.
Because allergic reactions are actually a self-protection system of the human body, just like the military, protecting the home and country.
The immune system is the body’s army!
This substance after a mosquito bite enters the human body and is even considered by the human body to be its own substance.
That is the so-called "traitor!".
This is an extremely deceptive substance.
Can confuse the body's immune cells.
This is amazing.
Various large-scale equipment have been transported to the capital of Ethiopia, and all research can be further carried out.
Moreover, it was found that the source of infection of this disease has not been found for a period of time. In other words, within a period of time, ordinary contact between people will not cause infection.
However, the possibility of transmission through blood and body fluids still exists!
The next day, after various instruments were searched, almost no substances mixed into the human body could be found.
This is a terrible thing.
This "traitor"-like toxin almost disappears without a trace after being mixed into the human body.
It's like a drop of water mixed into the ocean.
The search continues every day.
But I couldn't find it at all.
what to do?
The staff of Baiye Research Institute began to focus on those patients who had advanced fever, hoping to find some substances in their bodies.
But……
The result disappointed them again.
It seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
So, the staff turned their attention to the head!
Perhaps this is the only clue. Although the internal scene cannot be seen from all imaging data, it is only possible through pathological collection.
After thinking clearly, the experiment continues!
The human brain is a magical tissue. It is the most important core part of the human body. In order to protect it, the human body has an organization similar to the "Forest Army" that always protects the human nervous system.
The blood-brain barrier is the barrier between plasma and brain cells formed by brain capillary walls and glial cells, and the barrier between plasma and cerebrospinal fluid formed by the choroid plexus.
These barriers prevent certain (mostly harmful) substances from entering the brain tissue from the blood.
Various solutes in the blood enter the brain tissue from the brain capillaries. It is difficult and easy. Some pass quickly, some pass slowly, and some cannot pass at all. This selective permeability phenomenon makes people imagine that there may be restrictions on solute permeability.
This structure can make the brain tissue less or even immune to damage by harmful substances in the circulating blood, thereby maintaining the basic stability of the internal environment of the brain tissue and playing an important biological role in maintaining the normal physiological state of the central nervous system.
significance.
However, at this time, this substance can actually ignore the blood-brain barrier and directly damage the brain?
The research on nerve cells is relatively difficult and tedious, and Duan Bo is the latest researcher to discover that there are differences in slices, after new living cells were obtained.
Duan Bo began in-depth research.
Sections, specimens, electron microscopes.
And various physiological and biochemical studies are continuing.
But……
At this moment, everyone was disappointed.
Because the nerve cells are almost exactly the same as normal, there are not many mutations at all!
Where did it happen?
For a while, the experiment fell into a stalemate again.
At this time, Bai Ye suddenly remembered a skill called [In-depth Analysis].
A lot of research progress was made formally relying on this skill.
[An in-depth analysis of the exchange will cost 100 million U.S. dollars. Do you want to continue? 】
Does Bai Ye have any other choice?
exchange!
This kind of money consumption will not be instantly deducted from his account, but the property will be transferred through stocks and other forms.
[In-depth analysis] Redeem it!
Bai Ye started researching.
This time, he was no longer observing the cell samples that had been made into slide specimens, but was constantly magnifying the living nerve cell tissue in front of him infinitely!
Sure enough, a huge head appeared in Bai Ye's field of vision!
The ravines are like canyons and abyss.
Every part of the human body is controlled by a nerve in the brain!
The human body is like a precise instrument!
Bai Ye was a little curious as to what kind of substance it was that had such an effect.
In fact, the human body is very simple to say. It is composed of various organs and tissues, cells, nerves, etc. However, the human body is not a machine. After these things are composed, it will be fine, right?
The more in-depth he studied, the more Bai Ye felt the incredible and unpredictable nature of the human body.
Bai Ye was a little scared after discovering the microbial community.
Because the more he researched, the more he discovered that the microbial population in the human body is also a huge biosphere!
If the human body is compared to the earth, then the populations of the human body are like different organisms on the earth.
Then the problem comes!
Is the earth the subject or the carrier?
Likewise, are human beings subjects or carriers?
Different angles will lead to different views on problems.
When Bai Ye zoomed in infinitely, he suddenly discovered something terrifying.
That is, these nerve cells are like an orderly society, constantly operating, and everything is developing at an accelerated pace.
This is just like a society.
Various feedback adjustments are like telephone wires, constantly transmitting information from the human body to the whole body, and then the human body begins to make various adjustments!
Where did the error go?
At this time, Bai Ye seemed to have transformed into a cell and participated in such a delicate environment.
Go and feel this weird world.
When I looked again that day, I found that the surroundings had slowed down again!
So he began to constantly search and discover, hoping to get a lot of valuable information.
He began to search one by one...
The process is long and complicated.
I don’t know how long it took, but Bai Ye suddenly discovered something strange!
Molecular formulas similar to hormones.
What exactly is it?
Bai Ye quickly took screenshots and analyzed them.
Bai Ye began to search along the path he came from!
When he saw the next scene clearly, Bai Ye suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility!
What is the reason why the human body temperature is constant?
The thermoregulatory center refers to certain neural structures in the hypothalamus that regulate changes in body temperature.
About 100 years ago, it was reported that partial damage to the hypothalamus of dogs would cause an increase in body temperature. In the 1940s, neurophysiologists used directional stimulation and local damage to prove that the anterior part of the hypothalamus is a heat dissipation center, and the posterior and lateral parts of the hypothalamus are
The lower part is the thermogenic center.
After the 1960s, it was discovered that there are temperature-sensitive neurons in the central nervous system. Especially in the preoptic area and front part of the hypothalamus, the thermosensitive neurons that are sensitive to thermal stimulation have the most sensitive response. When this area is stimulated by warm heat,
It causes a heat dissipation reaction, and the opposite effect occurs when stimulated by cold.
In order to explain that the body temperature of normal people can be maintained at about 37 degrees Celsius, the set point theory of the body temperature center is used in physiology to explain how the temperature regulation center of the hypothalamus regulates body temperature.
This theory holds that body temperature regulation is similar to the regulation mechanism of a thermostat.
Warm-blooded animals have a certain set point value, such as 37 degrees Celsius for humans. If the body temperature deviates from this value, information will be sent back to the regulatory center through a feedback system to regulate heat production or heat dissipation activities to maintain a constant body temperature.
Then the question arises, if there is a problem with the human body's body temperature receptors, or there is a problem with the cold sensation regulator.
So how should the questions change?
Thinking of this, Bai Ye came up with a bold idea!
Add a message to the hypothalamus to make the hypothalamus think that the human body has received cold and needs to raise the problem. Then will the human body continue to produce heat?
Will this substance interfere with the hypothalamus' thermoregulation?
Thinking of this, Bai Ye suddenly became more and more frightened.
Where does human body heat come from?
Of course, it consumes the heat generated by ATP.
Mitochondrial respiration in human systems, organs, tissues and cells decomposes organic matter to release energy and generate heat.
In other words, the human body is in a high metabolic process and heat is continuously generated.
The hypothalamus, the thermoregulatory center, maintains a constant body temperature at 40 degrees for many reasons.
What kind of substance is this?
Bai Ye must calculate this substance clearly, including how it can be removed.
what to do?
Time passes minute by minute.
Still not found.
suddenly……
He saw something.
That is, the synapses of nerve cells secrete a neurotransmitter.
This neurotransmitter is not fully received!
A lot of information was missed.
Incomplete transfer?
Next, suddenly he saw that the information transmitted by the nerve cells in the back was incomplete!
Eventually, a substance is secreted and attached to the hypothalamus!
That's the problem.
It turns out that these substances on the thalamus are not the mastermind, but a product.
So where is the real murderer hiding?
Synapse?
Or the internal environment?!
right!
Bai Ye suddenly remembered.
That's the difference in internal environment.
Perhaps when the internal environment of nerve cells changes, the function of nerve cells will also be lost.
Has the internal environment of the brain changed?
Comparative analysis.
Bai Ye suddenly needs healthy cerebrospinal fluid!
Thinking of this, Bai Ye quickly exited, found the staff, and searched for the intracranial environment.
What kind of environment is needed inside the skull?
Internal environment...
Cells are also living things!
Microorganisms require a balanced internal environment.
Cells also need the same.
Only when the internal environment remains stable can it be effectively improved, right?
If you want to know what is in the polluted environment, you must know what the original environment was!
After thinking of this, Bai Ye immediately conducted a proportional analysis.
I have to say.
Spend money to get things done.
Through in-depth analysis of the internal environment, we quickly obtained effective data.
At this time, Bai Ye analyzed the polluted internal environment.
same!
Soon, a piece of data appeared.
Prime culprit!
What a murderer!
The culprit finally appeared.
This is a benzene substance with good fat solubility and can pass through the blood-brain barrier!
The culprit has been found, and the next thing to do is how to eliminate it.
Bai Ye didn't care about anything else and quickly worked out the molecular equation.
Then organize a meeting for all members.
After everyone arrived, Bai Ye said directly: "I now have an idea, that is, whether the changes in the intracranial environment have caused the changes in the hypothalamus, so my subsequent work will focus on this aspect!"
"I discovered a strange thing, that is, there is indeed an extra substance in the brain tissue of patients infected by this type of fever than in our normal internal environment."
"And I worked out his chemical equation through chemical analysis!"
"Next, our focus is to conduct in-depth research on this substance and find a solution!"
After the news was announced, everyone was shocked!
Now that the reason is found, the next work will be much smoother.
Everyone started follow-up research.
At this time, suddenly, an unknown company suddenly developed a drug that can effectively control the body temperature of patients in a short period of time.
After this news was announced, it instantly swept the world!
After all, it is simply difficult to control the body temperature that is now gathering heat.
And this company can actually get effective treatment methods.
How can it not surprise people?
For a time, people were panicked.
Bai Ye, who was far away in Ethiopia, also learned the news!
