Chapter 248: Of course not

"The old lady's body couldn't come, so she had surgery. ”

Zheng Jianguo blinked, if the old lady didn't move this operation, then there would be no problem to sit on the plane for transfer, but now she doesn't know how to recover, and if she goes to the United States for more than 30 hours, it will not be to relax and turn around, but to find trouble.

Of course, this is still a white swan that has not been delivered, otherwise it would be no big deal to come and see.

"Today's oil contract closed at $30 43 cents after a day of adjustment, up 11 cents from yesterday"

The content that appeared on TV instantly pulled Zheng Jianguo's attention back, since he took all his net worth and smashed ten times the leverage to buy oil contracts, his attention is now particularly sensitive to the word oil, because every penny falling and rising is a loss and income of tens of millions for him: "Breaking through 39 cents, this is more than 300 million yuan"

According to the calculation method given by Charlie, the price of Zheng Jianguo when he opened the position was $27 and 39 cents per barrel, and now it seems that it has risen by a full $3, according to the more than 110 million barrels of oil contracts he holds, this is the income of $330 million, plus the principal of more than $310 million, this mood is afraid that there is nothing to describe: "The money at the airport is settled, but there is no news about the letter that Xu Mi brought back." ”

"Your fourth sister has arranged to enter the Chinese University, together with Kou Yang Roland and them, I will take the plane to Britain in the early hours of tomorrow morning to meet Sister Fan, and she will also go to Boston, saying that it is just to attend your graduation ceremony, and by the way, to deal with her house." ”

As the report of the oil contract disappeared on TV, Zheng Jianguo's attention returned to the answering machine again, Yang Na's previous words should have said that she left after her cousin arrived, but she was looking at the oil contract, and then she remembered Fan Dailin's house on Beacon Hill Street, and of course she also remembered Rebecca Chen's sister who also made her own little report!

When he arrived at the telephone, he looked at the number of messages on the answering machine and found that there were still 3, Zheng Jianguo tore off one from the post-it note next to him, picked up the pen and made a record: "Yang Na, antique auction." ”

In view of the excessive number of times he was diverted by the message, Zheng Jianguo was afraid that he would forget, so he took out a post-it note and a pen and put it next to him, and then as Yang Na's voice disappeared, Ye Minde's old voice came: "Jianguo, the conditions in Inner Mongolia are not good, and I have to fight in the city for a long time, so I will make a long story short, the list of personnel of the Republic of China Gastroenterology Association has come out."

But it still has to be approved, of course, in general, it is still based on our school, but the names of Shen Yunhui and Yang Junguo have been added to the Capital Medical College, so you don't have to worry about the two of them, everything else is going well, and I will hang up. ”

"All the best, did you find a thermophile?"

Subconsciously chattered, Zheng Jianguo suddenly remembered what he had forgotten, and continued to write on the post-it note: "Thermophilic bacteria paper search!"

The situation in China, Zheng Jianguo originally planned to let them study it by themselves, after all, it was agreed in the previous agreement, but considering that if there is a ready-made article here, it is not necessary to waste manpower and material resources, and it can be used directly, but I didn't expect that I really forgot about it.

As Ye Minde's voice disappeared, Harris's loud voice came from the answering machine: "Hi, Zheng, it's been a while since the house was occupied, how does it feel during this time?Is there anything that needs to be maintained?" Alec asked me to do a return visit, remember to tell us if you have any questions, goodbye"

"It's a bit of a problem"

Thinking about his feelings during this time, Zheng Jianguo had a few small problems in his mind, but he didn't plan to give the other party back: "Wait until Yang Na comes and reads it, whose message is next?"

"Hi, Zheng, I'm Levin, I've registered with Cell Press, I don't need to hang the name of MIT Press in the future, the papers submitted so far have also been packaged, you give me the address, I'll have someone send it to you, but I'm thinking about how long you alone can finish reading these thousands of articles"

Valentin Levin's voice made Zheng Jianguo completely stunned, thousands of articles are not a small number, and there are only dozens of articles published in one journal, which means that he has to read hundreds of articles in journals.

Fortunately, when Zheng Jianguo was tending Catherine and Esther before, he thought of using the computer to store and retrieve it, although he would definitely be able to find it if he asked people to find it, but if he did so, people would find out what they were concerned about, and the computer did not have this problem.

Computers don't always care why they're looking for nitric oxide articles!

This faint thought flashed in his mind, and the voice on the answering machine disappeared, but just when Zheng Jianguo picked up the phone and was about to dial, a lot of videos of tall chimneys emitting exhaust gases appeared on TV, and at the same time, the voiceover played: "Now the toxic gases emitted by chemical production and internal combustion engines are mixed with a variety of deadly nitrogen oxides, this kind of exhaust gas mixed with nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide."

"Exhaust gases for nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide?"

Zheng Jianguo suddenly found that he should have encountered the situation of darkness under the light again, put the phone back on the phone and went to the TV without making a call, and after zooming up the volume, he found that there were many environmental activists holding signs high, shouting slogans in front of the DuPont chemical plant in the middle of nowhere, and he realized that this was a report on air pollution, and also realized that he had gotten into the tip of the horns before: "At this time, no one has found that nitric oxide and human cells are interactive?!"

Since the last time he remembered the little blue pill at the private banquet of the former executive director Caphora, Zheng Jianguo had searched the literature in the library of the medical school for a long time, and he said that it was a character related to the diastolic factor that causes function, but he could not even find the word nitric oxide, which is the source of the release of the diastolic factor.

Watching this video can be regarded as solving his doubts, if people do not discover the interaction between this thing and human cells, then it is impossible to write this toxic waste gas into a paper about life!

Then, Zheng Jianguo's previous efforts were all in vain!

Directly retracting his gaze from the TV, Zheng Jianguo quickly took out his address book, he remembered that when he went to MIT to do an experimental class, there was a girl who seemed to be majoring in chemistry, and later called to ask for the next article? !

"Found it, Celia Keynes, I didn't expect to be a family with Keynes. ”

Subconsciously chattered, Zheng Jianguo arrived at the telephone, he vaguely remembered that the last time he called back, the other party asked what compound it was, and he felt that this matter was a bit unreliable on the phone, of course, the call that should be made still had to be called, the number dialed over and listened to being picked up, and then a strange female voice came from the noisy background sound: "This is MIT 208 dormitory, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Celia, is she there?"

Zheng Jianguo opened his mouth with some surprise, he didn't expect MIT to install a phone in every dormitory, but then he remembered that people dare to make science and technology, so many extensions to students is a matter of course, but he didn't expect the female voice who answered the phone to say: "What are you looking for Celia?

"Oh, in a sense, I'm really going to ask her out, but it's just business, I want to ask her about chemistry."

Subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Zheng Jianguo found out that what he was doing was really to meet Celia, so he heard the girl's voice on the phone: "Celia, a man asked you out to talk about chemistry! ”

“”

Zheng Jianguo listened speechlessly to the laughter coming from inside, but fortunately, Celia's soft voice soon came from the microphone: "Hey, Mark, is that you?"

"I'm Zheng Jianguo, Celia"

Subconsciously opened his mouth to remind the other party that he had guessed wrong, but Zheng Jianguo didn't expect Celia's voice to instantly raise by more than a dozen decibels, and then returned to normal: "Professor Zheng, hello, do you have something to do with me?"

"Professor Zheng, do we still have a professor with this surname in our school?"

Then a question came with doubts, and before Zheng Jianguo could speak, he heard another voice from there: "Ah, Celia, is it the one from Professor Thomas's laboratory?"

"Well, I'm looking for you something, Celia, do you know about organic nitrates?"

Zheng Jianguo ignored the teasing of several young ladies in the background, his current status is just a resident doctor at Harvard University, but he is an associate professor at MIT, although part-time.

"Organic nitrates belong to the classic vasodilators as far as I know, including organic nitrates, nitrites and thiol nitrites, mainly used for the treatment of angina, the pharmacokinetics are characterized by fast absorption and fast onset of action, mainly including nitrate glycerin and isosorbide nitrate and isopentaeryl nitrate, isoamyl nitrite nitrite, isoamyl nitrite nitrite, I am currently studying pre-med. ”

Celia's crisp voice came, and the noise on the other side seemed to disappear, and then it was replaced by a slight clicking sound of the door closing, Zheng Jianguo was a little confused by this sentence: "You want to be a doctor?"

"I want to pursue a career in pharmacology, so that I can find a job in a major pharmaceutical company after graduation. ”

Celia thought very clearly, there is no one in this world who does not want to go to the United States to become a doctor, but considering that it takes seven or eight years from medical school to residency training, and she has to bear a student loan of up to $70,000 or $80,000 during this period, she has set herself a more relaxed and quick direction: "So if you ask this question when we meet, I can't answer you." ”

Pre-med is designed for college students who want to apply for medical school while still in college, and the curriculum is very different because each school offers its own.

Of course, in the pre-med course of MIT, the chemistry of science and engineering can be combined with the direction of medicine is mainly the branch of biochemistry, and then the pharmacology direction in medical school is biased, and when you graduate, you are almost a researcher in a major pharmaceutical company.

Although it is not as good as the income of an attending doctor after surviving medical school and residency, it is still the ideal job for many people.

"I want to do research on nitroglycerin for vasodilation, but I don't have an assistant who understands biochemistry, do you have any ideas for that?"

With the deepening of his studies, Zheng Jianguo's memory of nitroglycerin can play a role in vasodilation has been restored a lot, knowing that this thing will metabolize nitric oxide after entering the human body, so as to play the role of dilating blood vessels, and the reason why the blue pill is marked as forbidden for heart disease patients is this reason: "The resources are provided by me, if there is anything found, we will jointly sign the first author." ”

"At present, there are many studies on nitroglycerin and vasodilation."

Stunned, Celia's heart first beat twice, if Zheng Jianguo invited her to join the laboratory of Helicobacter pylori, I am afraid that she would not even hesitate and raise her hands and feet to show her willingness to obey, but nitroglycerin and vasodilation have been studied for hundreds of years without any results: "Some have been studied for decades." ”

Many people know that nitroglycerin is an explosive, but few people know that the purpose of this thing is to treat people's heart disease, since it was developed for this purpose, then taking the drug in the sublingual venous plexus will have a more obvious effect.

But its pharmacology has never been thoroughly studied, and it has been almost a century and a half by this time, and even doctors only know what it is, and this is why Celia said so, after such a long time, there are hundreds of people who have studied this pharmacology.

"I know that, so I don't limit biological experiments. ”

There will soon be a laboratory in charge of himself, Zheng Jianguo has a thorough understanding of the research conditions here, and everyone else is almost lucky to do follow-up research on patients in this regard.

After all, the content of the study is not the heart or blood vessels, which are all important organs in the human body, and if nothing happens, no one will drink the suspension like Zheng Jianguo verified the pathogenicity of Helicobacter.

Of course, it's not that no one does biological experiments, but considering that the closest test monkeys to humans are expensive, each selling for about $3,000 each, it is such an expensive monkey that it may take five or eight to use in one experiment.

And this is the result that Zheng Jianguo already has in his heart, otherwise he would never be willing to change it to others: "Although this will cause the death of many creatures, but considering that our purpose is to save people, you won't have a psychological barrier, right?"

"Of course not"

Celia quickly replied, although she was a rather sympathetic girl, but not to the point of overflowing sympathy: "What are you going to do?"

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, Zheng Jianguo also said on the phone: "You go to the school to apply for a laboratory, and I will personally provide funds, and the two of us will share academic achievements, but the follow-up application will be my own."
