Volume 4 Chapter 93 Savior?
One of the most significant points is that the Silent Lab has the experience and ability to solve other superbugs, and proves that the DNA transcription blocking theory researched by Feng Xiaoting and others can be applied to medicine. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Feng Xiaoting also saw this very clearly. The results were a bit of a surprise. But in the final analysis, it is guided by their previous theories. When his research results are useful, Li Sheng's pride as a researcher is incomprehensible.
It's not just fame, there's a lot of stake in it. Now Li Sheng also said that he would be rewarded heavily, although Feng Xiaoting said that he didn't care, he had an income of hundreds of millions of dollars every year from the dividends of the two drugs in Nanguang, and if there was no result in the future, he could still get some benefits. No matter how much Li Sheng rewards this time, it is impossible to move him.
But other researchers go differently. Li Sheng paid them more than twice as much as other labs, but he had no intention of giving them dividends. Now that Li Sheng said that he would be rewarded heavily, he should not be stingy. The bonus should still be quite attractive to those experimenters.
Although Li Sheng is the real master of the laboratory, Feng Xiaoting, as the director of the laboratory, and the other researchers are actually his subordinates, and of course they must also consider their subordinates. Regarding Li Sheng's generosity, he smiled and said, "I will convey your meaning." ”
Two days later, at 2 p.m., all the media in Lingang and those with reporters stationed in Lingang received invitations to attend a press conference on super pneumonia. On the invitation letter, a total of five units are listed together. And the first one is not the Second People's Hospital of the city, but the Silent Laboratory. In addition to the two units, there are also two hospitals that admit the most patients with super pneumonia, like the Second People's Hospital. The last one is Nam Kwong Group.
What is the Silent Lab, even if you haven't heard of it before, just hearing the name I'm afraid it will be associated with Li Sheng. And I know, suddenly realized that this press conference is going to have big news.
Some wonder if they are going to announce a solution to the super pneumonia once and for all. But when they think about it, they don't think it's likely. The domestic media in Huaxia has begun to write "Huaxia released the first drug to inhibit super pneumonia." I just don't know how long the validity period will last. Something like that.
But although they had a "hunch", they still rushed to the Second People's Hospital of Lingang. Even if they all guessed, but how many people were treated, those numbers still have to go to the scene to ask questions.
So for a while, those small media who did not receive the invitation felt a sense of turmoil. The well-informed among them quickly inquired as to what was going on. Although they also have the same speculation as those in the big media. But they still rushed to the Second People's Hospital to see if they could enter.
At 2:40 p.m., the large conference room of the Second People's Hospital was already full of reporters, although these media only speculated that Huaxia had come up with a drug that could treat super pneumonia. But even then, it was the first in China, so the TV media sent photographers over.
"Lao Jin, do you think they held a press conference this time to find a solution to super pneumonia?" A reporter saw that the owner was still showing up, so he whispered to a colleague next to him.
"Difficult. Pharmaceutical companies in the West have combined all the antibiotics, and although they have some effects, they quickly develop resistance. Even if they were to find a formula that would work, it wouldn't be too many to treat a few patients. Once drug resistance emerges, it still doesn't work. ”
"Well, didn't you say that all the antibiotic combinations have been used? Maybe they're not looking at antibiotics. ”
Lao Jin pouted and said, "What else can you use to deal with bacteria without antibiotics?"
"I think Chinese medicine may be useful. Although the bactericidal effect of traditional Chinese medicine is not as good as that of antibiotics, it may not be ineffective. Even if it's a little slower, that's good. Furthermore, the resistance of bacteria to Chinese medicine is not very strong. ”
"It's not strong now, but it will be stronger in the future. You don't know that NDM-1 superbugs are characterized by the ability to produce highly resistant particles, which can spread drug resistance from one bacterium to another, so their antimicrobial resistance increases so quickly. Even if they are not highly susceptible to resistance to traditional Chinese medicines. There will always be a day when the new drug will be ineffective. The only good thing about Chinese medicine is that some medicines can be used a little heavier, and they are not as fatal as antibiotics. ”
In fact, the reason why the world is so concerned about the super pneumonia bacteria is because it is a major challenge facing humanity. If the resistance of superbugs is not addressed, the WHO predicts that by 20 years, more than 10 million people in the world will die every year from Super Xu Jun infection. And the appearance of this super pneumonia makes people feel that the prediction is likely to be advanced, and there may even be the kind of "plague" that makes mankind relive in history.
As they spoke, a group of people walked out of the podium. Many reporters immediately recognized the last one of them as the public relations minister of Nam Kwong Group. In addition to him, there were three doctors in large white coats, a young man in a suit and a woman in her early forties.
The reporters below immediately fell silent.
Soon they found out that the person who presided over the press conference was actually the public relations minister of Nam Kwong Group: "Thank you friends from all the media for taking the time to attend this press conference jointly held by Silent Laboratory, the Second People's Hospital of the city, the No. 1 Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the No. 963 Hospital and our Nam Kwong Group." Let me introduce you to you. ”
"This is Ms. Xue Hong, the head of the bacteriological research group of the Silent Laboratory. ”
Xue Hong stood up.
After she sat down, she introduced Feng Xiaoting: "This is Mr. Feng Xiaoting, an expert in virology research, the director of the drug development research office of Nanguang Group, and the director of the silent laboratory. ”
This is Dr. Zhong He, the vice president of the Municipal People's Hospital, the chief physician, and the specific person in charge of the NDM-1 super pneumonia prevention and control team of the Second Hospital. ”
He also introduced the remaining two doctors and introduced himself.
"This time, I invite all media friends to come, mainly because the five of us want to jointly announce a news: after experimental treatment for a total of 328 patients in the Second People's Hospital of the city, the first hospital of traditional Chinese medicine and the 963rd Hospital. As of 14 p.m. today, the lungs of patients with NDM-1 superpneumonia who received experimental treatment in three hospitals have been successfully cleared of the NDM-1 superbug. Among them, 68 patients are critically ill and have regained consciousness and are in stable condition. According to the consultation of doctors from the three hospitals, it was determined that the treatment plan found by the research team led by Xue Hong, the leader of the Silent Laboratory, had a special effect on killing the NDM-1 super pneumonia bacteria. And there is no need to worry about drug resistance. ”
Before he finished speaking, the reporters below were in an uproar and raised their hands one after another.
He paused and said, "Please be quiet, and we will leave enough time for you to ask questions." ”
When the reporters heard him say this, they could only listen to him patiently: "At present, Silent Laboratory has exclusively authorized the production of drugs to Nam Kwong Group. We, Nam Kwong Group, are preparing for mass production of this drug. ”
He glanced at the other people on the podium, saw that none of them meant to add, and said: "Now you have twenty minutes to ask questions, because the time is limited, please abide by the rules of questioning, please raise your hand first to ask questions, and the friend who clicks can ask a question." Okay, I would like to ask this CCTV reporter to ask questions. ”
As the mouthpiece of the country, everyone has to give some face. So this reporter has long been mentally prepared to be the first to ask questions. He stood up and asked: "I want to ask Team Leader Xue Hong, the host mentioned that Nam Kwong Group will be exclusively authorized to produce the drug part." May I ask Team Leader Xue, what treatment methods are needed to solve the NDM-1 super pneumonia bacteria found in your research in addition to drugs? ”
It was the first time for Xue Hong to face so many reporters. She took the microphone, coughed lightly and said, "This journalist friend has caught the key issue." You're right. After more than two months of experiments, our project team found that the NDM-1 super pneumonia bacteria under the action of certain drugs is very sensitive to X-rays, and only a small dose of X-ray irradiation is required for a short time to inactivate the bacteria. In this way, we can inactivate the superbugs in the lesions. ”
Next, the reporter of Lingang Satellite TV was called. He stood up and asked, "I would like to ask three doctors." I wonder if the patients who are now treated in the Silent Lab have recovered?"
Dr. Jin, who was supposed to be the representative of the three hospitals, took the mark handed over by Xue Hong and said, "I'll answer this question." By two o'clock in the afternoon. We have targeted 328 patients with NDM-1 hyperpneumonia using the Silent Lab treatment. The results of the analysis of the tests showed that 283 of these patients were out of danger and were recovering. The other 45 patients were critically ill and their respiratory function was severely damaged, although the NDM-1 super pneumonia bacteria had been killed in their bodies. However, they still need to stay in the intensive care unit. However, these patients still need to stay in the isolation ward just in case. But they are also isolated from other patients. ”
"Excuse me, will the Silent Lab's treatment be rolled out soon?" the reporter asked another question.
Dr. Kim smiled and said, "Although you asked the second question in violation of the law, these two questions are in the same vein, and I can answer this question for you." Silent Lab's treatments are still in clinical trials. It will only be used by patients who are willing to enter into a waiver agreement. ”
In response to his answer, the reporter did not question why people were used so quickly to conduct experiments. Those patients are more dangerous, and if this is not the case, more than half of them may die from the disease at the current rate. In a hurry, who can say anything.
After connecting several domestic media outlets, a blonde female reporter was tapped: "I'm a reporter from Reuters." Although her Chinese is a little awkward, she can still hear it clearly. "We all know that NDM-1 super pneumonia is spreading all over the world. How long will it take for this treatment to mature, and when will it be announced?"
