Chapter eighty-fifth: others rely on strength to open
Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on syndrome differentiation and treatment, rather than sticking to a certain type of medicine.
This is a scientific research institute, and Tu You is from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. How could there be no traditional Chinese medicine here?
Bai Ye found the corresponding Chinese medicine according to ancient prescriptions.
He started experimenting over and over again. He first boiled the Chinese medicine and looked for the effective ingredients.
But just at the beginning, Bai Ye encountered a problem!
With so many compounds, how do you determine which active ingredients are among them?
In fact, Bai Ye now feels that traditional Chinese medicine is a golden mountain, but modern technology is like an axe.
I clearly know that there are many precious things in this golden mountain, but I can't get them out, I am powerless.
You can only dig for gold in soft places that are easy to dig.
Perhaps one day, modern science and technology will be developed enough to dissolve this golden mountain and move it away piece by piece.
This treasure trove is truly astounding!
Bai Ye first injected the decoction into artemisinin-resistant rats, but... the effect was average!
As a result, Bai Ye was indeed a little embarrassed. After a lot of work, he didn't expect that his guess was wrong!
So where should you start?
Change the structure of artemisinin? Create new types of artemisinin? But the experimental team has already done too much.
It’s too difficult! It’s too difficult!
what to do?
Bai Ye was a little weak.
Maybe that high-level task can't be completed at all!
Not to mention the ultimate mission.
Bai Ye sighed, a little relaxed.
Just when Bai Ye was speechless, he suddenly remembered the book "Experience and Grade Classification of Preparation of Traditional Chinese Medicine" that he had obtained.
After Bai Ye opened it, he started searching because he remembered that there were only 45 modern research and grade classifications of common Chinese medicines in it.
Bai Ye wasn't sure if there was any artemisia in it.
After opening it, Bai Ye actually had a lot of expectations in his heart. He slowly opened the catalog:
This is a traditional Chinese medicine manual written two hundred years later, which records the preparation methods and research progress of traditional Chinese medicine.
Bai Ye turned to that page with anticipation and started reading.
"Artemisia annua, a traditional Chinese medicine, is a plant of the Asteraceae family... It has the functions of clearing away heat deficiency, cooling blood and removing steam, relieving heat and eliminating malaria..."
Bai Ye understands all these things. He even knows that the leaves of Artemisia annua are best obtained before they bloom, because this way the most artemisinin can be obtained.
Next is the grade assessment of artemisinin Chinese medicinal materials, as well as the preservation and processing of Chinese medicines, etc.
These are not what Bai Ye is looking for. What he is looking for is the research progress of modern medicine!
Bai Ye continued to turn back, and sure enough!
There is artemisinin, there is dihydro(hydroxy)artemisinin, which is Tu You’s great invention, and there will be generations of research progress on artemisinin.
But what surprised Bai Ye was...
There is no "stable artemisinin complex"?
Well...it seems that my article is not enough to be recorded in history...
Bai Ye smiled awkwardly and continued to scroll back. Sure enough, he saw it!
"The Second Innovation of Variable Polycarboxylic Artemisinin Artemisinin" Time: 2018-12-12, Magazine: "cell", Issue Number: 20181201, Author: karrisi-pall, dasily-k... Instructor:
Tu You.
After Bai Ye opened it, he saw the journal number and name on it. He was suddenly startled. Isn't this... Tu You! There are also Karis, Daisy... these are all acquaintances!
However, they only discovered this mutated polycarboxylic artemisinin at the end of 2018. Bai Ye looked at it carefully, and it clearly described the discovery process of this artemisinin.
In 2018, the medical team sent by the country to aid Africa included a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. During his aid to Africa, he happened to use Baihu Decoction to cure the local epidemic malaria. After returning to China, Tu You's team worked with him to study a period of
time.
Finally, a substance called stable artemisinin complex was successfully isolated and purified from traditional Chinese medicine.
This complex can react with nucleic acids in Plasmodium under special circumstances.
This nucleic acid and stable artemisinin complex forms variable polycarboxylic artemisinins in human cells.
This variant polycarboxylic artemisinin is the key ingredient in the treatment of artemisinin-resistant malaria parasites.
Bai Ye was a little stunned. This series of news made him feel that his brain cells were not enough!
It turns out that the key lies in the stable artemisinin complex that I discovered?
As long as the artemisinin complex reacts with the Plasmodium nucleic acid under specific circumstances, the so-called variant polycarboxylic artemisinin can be obtained.
Is it really possible?
If possible, you can complete all your advanced tasks, intermediate tasks, and advanced tasks!
The more Bai Ye thought about it, the more excited he became. He...ahem...should he become the man who saves the world?
Thinking of this, Bai Ye suddenly felt guilty...
If you are so dazzling...will you be jealous of others?
Why!
Besides, it’s obvious that you’re cheating, okay?
The cheating was so obvious that Bai Ye blushed a little.
Bai Ye thought to himself: In fact, as long as I study more, I can research this thing.
Well! As long as you give me time, it’s okay if you don’t cheat.
And... and I discovered that the stable artemisinin complex is a real strength!
After comforting himself, Bai Ye immediately started his operation. Plasmodium nucleic acid?
Bai Ye originally wanted to go directly to Desili, because although she was responsible for modeling, she was mainly studying the physiological functions of malaria parasites. However, Bai Ye thought about it and gave up the idea. How to explain it?
There is no way to explain it!
By the way, what is it written in the book?
The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine who aided Africa was named Tan Bao. What he gave to his patients at that time was... "White Tiger plus Guizhi Decoction"!
Bai Ye found mice for experiments, extracted the tissues containing malaria parasites, and then began to separate them under a microscope...
Plasmodium is a single-celled organism that reproduces by nuclear fission into schizonts.
Bai Ye obtained the nucleic acid in the cell nucleus during nuclear division.
Bai Ye then reacted the stable artemisinin complex extracted from the original experiment.
This reaction is complex and requires a catalyst!
Their catalyst is a unique substance in the red blood cells of the human body.
How to find red blood cells?
Just bleed!
After thinking clearly, Bai Ye directly used a vessel to drip his own blood into it, and then divided it into several parts.
He put Plasmodium into one of them as a sample invaded by Plasmodium, and then used the other as a reaction site to add nucleic acid and stable artemisinin complex.
…………
…………
Bai Ye looked under the microscope and was suddenly a little surprised!
Success?
Really did it!
It seems that I am really the man who saves the world...even if I cheat!
Besides, people cheat based on their strength! Why should I report it?
