Chapter 636: An Unexpected Surprise (Subscription Requested!)
??
Xiao Ming only formulated some treatment methods for the gene store, and did not pay attention to the operation and profit method of the gene store, because Xiao Ming did not use the gene store as a profit point for Pangu Technology Group from the beginning, but as a trial project to explore the future of medical treatment and lifestyle.
The gene store is currently affiliated with Coastline Pharmaceutical Company, which already has an organ production gene and sales mall, as well as some vaccines and gene suppression drugs as a way to make profits, if nothing else, the profit of Coastline Pharmaceutical Company, which has just been born for a year, will surpass the German Bayer Group in profit this year, ranking ninth among the most profitable companies in the world.
According to the development trend of Shoreline Company, it is not surprising that Johnson & Johnson, which ranks first, to become the world's most profitable pharmaceutical company in the next five to ten years.
Xiao Ming left the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangda and prepared to go home to rest for two days, which was the end of the holiday, while Zheng Xuanyu stayed behind and continued to discuss work-related matters with Li Ting, the person in charge of the gene store.
After Xiao Ming left, the staff of the gene store, including Li Ting, were very dissatisfied with Xiao Ming's positioning of the gene store.
Li Ting, who has a very straight personality, said bluntly to Zheng Xuanyu: "Yuyu, I have an opinion on what the boss said just now. ”
Zheng Xuanyu looked at Li Ting's expression and was stunned for a moment, and said, "What did Xiao Ming say to make you have an opinion." ”
Not only Li Ting, but the rest of Li Ting's team are very dull, and the expression on her face is to tell others that we have opinions and we are not happy.
Before Li Ting could speak, a boy behind her preemptively said: "The meaning of the boss just now is very clear, the symbolic meaning of the gene store is far greater than the application significance, and we have an opinion on this." ”
This boy's name is Chen Sheng, Zheng Xuanyu knows, he is one of the several outstanding students newly recruited by the School of Life Sciences in recent years, this group of students has strong hands-on ability, and the experiment can be started quickly.
The expression on Zheng Xuanyu's face was very playful, she looked at Chen Sheng with interest, and asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Chen Sheng is a typical technical otaku, just speaking to show that there is emotion in his heart, and now looking at Zheng Xuanyu, who is younger than himself but is the top boss, Zheng Xuanyu, he blushed and said: "Because our project is not only to do a few expensive and difficult medical experiments, breaking through the boundaries of human medicine and life science, but also can really be implemented, so that all citizens can enjoy our benefits." ”
Zheng Xuanyu was interested now, and she asked, "How do you say this?"
Chen Sheng looked at Li Ting, and Li Ting nodded.
After getting Li Ting's permission, Chen Sheng took out a stack of materials from the drawer, which was the experimental data and project implementation plan made by the gene store project team during this time.
Li Ting added: "High-cost and difficult cases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and fetal congenital heart disease only exist in a small range, and a large number of people will not encounter these things in their lifetime. ”
"So what are the most common problems of ordinary people, what are the most urgent problems to be solved?" Li Ting was a little excited about the success of the group's experiment, she said: "It's our eyes, it's our mouths." The myopic population in Xia accounts for more than 40% of the country's headquarters population, about 600 million people. The myopia rate among teenagers in Xia is even higher, with a myopia rate of nearly 40 percent for primary school students, 60 percent for junior high school students, and 70 percent for high school students!
Zheng Xuanyu nodded and affirmed Li Ting's data.
Twenty years ago, the term "glasses" was still aimed at a special group of people who wore glasses, and today, 20 years later, if you call "glasses" on the street, the return rate can reach 40%.
Li Ting continued: "The second is the oral cavity, which is what we usually call buckteeth. ”
"Less than half of Xia people have straight teeth and healthy mouths, and at least half of them need orthodontics for straight teeth and oral health. ”
Zheng Xuanyu smiled when she heard this, what is called technological innovation comes from life and is implemented in life, the two examples given by Li Ting are very correct.
Zheng Xuanyu waited quietly for Li Ting to bring out the technical topic.
Li Ting said: "The mouth and teeth are unhealthy, which may not have much impact, but the myopia rate directly affects the health rate of adolescents, and it also affects the overall health quality of the Xia population. ”
"High myopia is hereditary, and the genetic testing we have done has proved that the occurrence of high myopia in Xia Guo is autosomal recessive inheritance, that is, both parents are highly myopic, and 100% of children are highly myopic; ”
Zheng Xuanyu only interjected at this time: "So, in the gene store, you are equipped with genes for healthy vision, which can help myopia patients?"
"Yes!" Li Ting said: "Now there is only one common way of myopia treatment, refractive correction. Whether it's glasses or surgery, the principle is refractive correction. ”
Not to mention wearing glasses, surgery to treat myopia does not solve the root problem of myopia.
"For example, the common femtosecond laser surgery, which cuts the corneal flap to a suitable refraction to restore your vision to normal, has not fundamentally changed the nature of myopia. If myopia is in the developing stage, then the current refractive power of the corneal flap will not be able to meet the future myopia degree, and the patient will still have to have surgery or continue to wear glasses. ”
Li Ting also did not say that Xia Guo has a lot of patients who undergo myopia correction surgery every year, and the cost is also quite a lot, ranging from seven or eight thousand to tens of thousands.
Finally, Li Ting said the plan for myopia treatment and oral treatment in the gene store.
She said: "All the external manifestations of human beings come from gene expression, and we have a complete plan for myopia treatment, and I have carried out the corresponding treatment, which is the first clinical trial in the world." ”
At this time, Zheng Xuanyu realized that Li Ting was indeed a little different.
Li Ting herself is a myopia patient, and she usually wears glasses for the convenience of experiments, and Zheng Xuanyu doesn't know how many degrees, but looking at the thick lenses, she knows that the degree is not low.
Today, Li Ting did not wear glasses, Zheng Xuanyu thought she was wearing invisibility, but she did not expect that she had undergone gene therapy for myopia.
Li Ting said: "Through surgery, the totipotent type of cells in my eye was activated, and through surgery, I replaced the defective gene of myopia in the eye cells with a healthy gene, and the replacement of the gene in the eye area did not affect the genes in other parts of the body. ”
