849 The foundation of the empire of medicine
The reason is simple, once you eat insulin in your stomach, it will be treated as a protein, broken down by gastric juice, and then absorbed, and after absorption, it is not so easy to synthesize insulin from scratch.
And according to Professor Helmer, with this Roentgen Express, it is very easy to make export insulin.
As long as you use this silver, you can wrap the insulin, avoid the dissolution of gastric acid, and be directly absorbed by the blood vessels in the small intestine wall, and you can exert the effect of insulin.
And this oral insulin, they have been using it for many years.
Listening to Professor Helmer's words, Xiao Feng can be said to be stunned.
In the past, I just thought about using K alpha active factor to ensure that collagen was not dissolved by gastric juice and was directly absorbed by the body.
I completely forgot that it can actually be used in insulin, and it is true that once this new drug is made, it will definitely be a major breakthrough in the history of human medicine.
At that time, just by buying this medicine, it will be enough for him to make money.
There are 500 million diabetic patients in the world, and once oral insulin is developed, these problems can definitely be solved.
A huge market of 500 million people!
And in China alone, there are 1200 million diabetic patients!
What does this mean? One out of every 10 Chinese people has diabetes!
And almost every seven seconds in the world, someone dies from complications caused by diabetes.
Even for the sake of these Chinese people, Xiao Feng wants to develop this oral insulin.
As for the European and American markets, hehe, there is his money printing machine.
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng felt that his eyes were red, and at this moment, he was also determined to acquire Voegelin.
The largest pharmacy chain in Europe and the United States has the best sales channels, and once it has mastered this pharmacy, it has a direct channel to the wallets of patients in Europe and the United States.
Moreover, it can also have a significant impact on the Food and Drug Safety Administration of the United States.
"Do you think that the role of this Roentgen Express is only to treat diabetes? No, the most important point is that he can cross the blood-brain barrier!"
Professor Helmer is very disdainful of Xiao Feng's appearance of never seeing the world.
"Blood-brain barrier?
Xiao Feng felt that he was completely blindfolded, and it was difficult for him to understand these medical terms.
Professor Helmer couldn't help but roll his eyes: "It is the capillary blood vessel wall and glial cells of the brain, forming a layer of isolation barrier between blood and hair cells, which is the most important protective barrier of the human brain. ”
Listening to Professor Helmer's explanation, Xiao Feng felt a little understood, but a little incomprehensible.
But what does this have to do with K Alpha Active Factor?
"Well, the advantage of this blood-brain barrier is that it can ensure the safety of the brain, but the bad thing is that it is too domineering, not only will it kill substances that are harmful to the brain, but even substances that are good for the brain will also kill. For example, if there is a lesion in a certain part of the brain, we want to treat it, so we develop a drug, but when this drug is transported by the blood to the blood-brain barrier to the brain, before it enters the brain, it is blocked by the blood-brain barrier, or killed, so that we can only watch the brain lesion continue to develop, but we cannot treat it......"
Hearing this, Xiao Feng basically understood that the blood-brain barrier of feelings is a set of white blood cell systems unique to the brain.
"With the Roentgen Express, we can easily pass through the blood-brain barrier and reach the patient, so as to effectively treat the brain patient. For example, without the use of open surgery, the blood clot in the brain can be ablated to remove the blood congestion in the brain. For example, we can use targeted drugs to treat brain tumors, and most generally, we can use drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, ......"
"What?"
Hearing the end, Xiao Feng couldn't sit still anymore and jumped up directly from the sofa.
When it comes to treating brain tumors or something, he doesn't feel much yet.
However, the ability to melt blood clots, remove blood congestion, treat Alzheimer's disease, and treat epilepsy without surgery alone will definitely make the inventor of this drug win the Nobel Prize!
He used to have a classmate who, after graduating from high school and being admitted to university, was hit by a car on the way home from a classmate's college banquet, causing serious brain damage.
Later, he was sent to the hospital for rescue, because of intracranial hemorrhage, the doctor opened the skull to suck out the bruises, and this process caused some damage to the brain.
Later, although the classmate was rescued, because of brain damage, his intelligence was only seven years old.
is in the prime of life, but his whole life has been ruined, thinking about that classmate's experience, Xiao Feng felt distressed for a while.
Moreover, many elderly people are prone to cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral thrombosis, which have many sudden occurrences and are very difficult to rescue.
Especially for cerebral hemorrhage, if the amount of bleeding is large, then it is necessary to open an operation to remove the brain congestion, otherwise the intracranial pressure is too high, which is likely to endanger the patient's life.
The human brain is very fragile, if the surgery is done at will, it is likely to cause permanent brain damage, and those who can't wake up will become vegetative, and those who can wake up will more or less leave some sequelae.
At present, the medical community is constantly innovating treatments for such diseases, but there has been no big breakthrough in drug treatment.
The main difficulty is that it is difficult to break through the blood-brain barrier, although some drugs with efficacy for brain diseases have also been found, but how to accurately deliver the drugs to the patient area has always been the main problem that plagues pharmaceutical companies.
It is difficult for ordinary doses of drugs to break through the blood-brain barrier, and effective drug ingredients are often isolated or killed by the protective layer when they penetrate the blood-brain barrier.
If the dose is increased, although some of the drugs can be guaranteed to break through the blood-brain barrier, more drugs will circulate in the blood and be absorbed by other organs of the human body, and if the dose of this medicine is too large, it will cause damage to other organs of the human body.
This is a dilemma, if you want the drug to work on the affected area of the brain, you need to increase the dose to break through the blood-brain barrier, and once the dose is increased, the brain problem is cured, but other organs of the body will be damaged.
Now that there is a sudden emergence of such a medium that can help drugs break through the blood-brain barrier smoothly, what do you think will be the effect?
Many brain diseases that have been plaguing human beings will be solved at this moment.
He can even treat epilepsy.
The main problem with epilepsy is that drugs that specifically treat diseased areas of the brain cannot break through the blood-brain barrier.
And now with this new medium, the drug can successfully break through the blood-brain barrier, so the treatment of epilepsy will save countless families.
Epilepsy is also a very scary brain disease, some are born and some are the sequelae of acquired brain damage.
And if there is an epilepsy patient in the family, it will bring endless pain to the family.
Not only is the patient's life in danger, but also the possibility of going crazy at any time, and once he goes crazy, the destructive power is amazing.
So if Dr. Helmer can really create a special drug for the treatment of epilepsy, it will be a pioneering feat for the benefit of all living beings in the world.
And if epilepsy can be overcome, then it is not far from treating neuropathy.
There is also Alzheimer's disease, which is commonly known as Alzheimer's disease, and having this disease in the family is even more painful than having a cancer patient.
When Grandma Xiao Feng finally left, she already had obvious symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, and he served by his side for half a year.
For him in those six months, it can be said that life is worse than death, looking at his loved ones, he lost his cognition of himself little by little, sometimes understood, sometimes confused, and finally degraded to the point that he couldn't take care of himself.
Not only the patient suffers himself, but also the family members suffer greatly mentally and physically.
And now there are more and more people suffering from this disease, Xiao Feng thought of this Helmer and said, they can use the Roentgen Express to invent a drug to treat Alzheimer's, how can he sit still?
If this medicine is invented, it is estimated that people all over the world will have to thank him!
Because everybody gets old, everybody doesn't want their parents to get this terrible disease when they're old.
"Professor Helmer, how long will it take you to develop these drugs?"
"Give me a team, a lab, and I can develop it in a month. After all, it's not a new drug, as long as you find the right raw materials, you can make it. ”
Professor Helmer said it lightly, but Xiao Feng scratched his head in embarrassment.
"It may take about half a year, after all, it takes time to build a laboratory, and I have to recruit people for you and organize a pharmaceutical R&D team. ”
"That's no problem, I just happen to be able to use this time to get a closer look at the earth in this era. ”
This time, Professor Helmer was very modest, and Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh, he was really a high-IQ person.
Even if it is a clone, they are very good at reading words and feelings, and they are not the same as those clones in the movie, just an emotionless humanoid machine.
Although they are still tools in nature, they possess the rudimentary emotions of human beings, and when it comes to DNA writing, they are programmed to never betray, and they are also incapable of reproduction.
Xiao Feng couldn't help sighing, this kind of invention of those future people is really too intimate.
Previously, he was not very easy to grasp the direction of the future development of the Ninth Laboratory, but now with these cloning experts, he has brought so many scientific research projects and research directions at once.
Now the Ninth Laboratory finally has nothing to do, and he can still continuously deploy personnel from there to learn from these experts.
With these cloning experts and the team they bring, his future medical empire has taken shape.
