Chapter 236 Penicillin
March 1, 1937
While the African People's Republic is showing and selling its weapons to the world, our protagonist, Mr. Li Puyu, is not idle, because he remembers another thing that is more profitable than arms, of course, not a drug but a special medicine for wounds, penicillin. Huoran? Wen???.? r a?n?en'org is also known as penicillin.
In the small courtyard of Li Puyu's office in Feijing City, in this small tree-lined courtyard, several people are sitting under a large locust tree with a well-developed canopy and lush foliage.
There are several people sitting here, one of them is our protagonist Li Puyu, and the other two, one of whom is the commander of the three armies, Jeriola, this is Li Puyu said: "Mr. Fan, you should know the reason why I invited you here, right?" ”
This Mr. Fan is named Fan Xinsheng. (I am based on Fan Qingsheng, the father of Chinese penicillin, who made great contributions to the Chinese medical community.) At the same time, he also belongs to China. So I can only take a similar name. He nodded and said, "Of course I know this, Chairman, you came to me for liquid goldenicillin, right?" ”
After hearing this, Li Puyu nodded and said, "That's right, it's this question that I recruited you to my side." All of you here, including Jeriola, know what penicillin does and what its commercial value is, so I have to get ahead of the Europeans. ”
After hearing this, Fan Qingsheng said: "Yes, I naturally know. I can say that I know a lot about his development history and I am also an expert in this area. Penicillin is also known as penicillin g penicillin, penicillin, penicillin sodium, benzylpenicillin sodium, penicillin potassium, benzylpenicillin potassium, he is a type of antibiotic.
In 1928, the British bacteriologist Fleming first discovered the world's first antibiotic penicillin, and Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by a lucky mistake.
In 1928, British scientist Fleming was the first to discover penicillin in experimental research, but because the technology was not advanced enough and the understanding was not deep enough, Fleming did not isolate penicillin separately.
In 1929, Fleming published his findings, which unfortunately have not been taken seriously by the scientific community since their publication.
In 1938, the German chemist Ernst Chann saw Fleming's paper in a pile of old books and began to do purification experiments.
In the winter of 1940, Qian En refined a little penicillin, which was a major breakthrough, but it was still far from clinical application.
In 1941, the baton of penicillin purification passed to Australian pathologist Walter Flory. With the assistance of the U.S. side, Flory isolated the strains from the soil brought back from airports in various countries when the pilots went on missions, increasing the production of penicillin from 2 units per cubic centimeter to 40 units.
But these were just the beginning of our human explorations of penicillin until 1942, when American pharmaceutical companies began mass production of penicillin. By 1943, pharmaceutical companies had discovered ways to mass-produce penicillin. Britain and the United States were at war with Nazi Germany. And this new drug is very effective in controlling wound infections.
In October 1943, Flory signed the first penicillin production contract with the United States. Penicillin was introduced at the end of World War II and quickly turned the tide of the war on the Allies. After the war, penicillin was widely used, saving tens of millions of lives. By 1944, the supply of medicine was sufficient to treat all Allied soldiers who fought during the Second World War. For this great invention, in 1945, Fleming, Flory, and Chin were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for "the discovery of penicillin and its clinical utility." ”
After listening to Fan Qingsheng's talk about the history of the development of penicillin, Li Puyu said that he was the truth, but did he really have the ability to cheat himself on nearly 100,000 resource points according to the urine sex of the red police system, and he would definitely not give himself a Xibei product to trick himself. So Li Puyu said: "If I ask you to take the lead in forming our penicillin research team in the African People's Republic, are you willing?" ”
After hearing this, Fan Qingsheng did not directly agree to Li Puyu's request, but said: "Chairman, I am personally willing to accept your request, but you know that the advent of every medicine requires not only perfect technology, but also a lot of funds and equipment. On the technical side, I have ......"
After saying this, Fan Qingsheng paused, and Li Puyu naturally understood the meaning of Fan Qingsheng's words, so he said: "Mr. Fan, don't worry about this." I will meet the conditions such as funds, equipment and so on, so you don't have to worry about this problem. As long as you agree to my request, I will call back the first amount of funds to you, 500,000 non-yuan. ”
"Okay, I will grant your request, but all you have to do now is to buy Fleming's invention right away, and then I will lead my team to the subsequent research. Of course, you provided the funds for this achievement, and once penicillin is successfully developed, his patent also belongs to you, the chairman. Fan Qingsheng said:
After Fan Qingsheng took Li Puyu's order, he started his work non-stop, Li Puyu belongs to the kind of unkind person, and he has added a burden to him. Hikyo Medical University was established. Fan Qingsheng is directly the president of the university. Under the premise that Fleming's invention was not taken seriously, Li Puyu had to seize the time to start his own penicillin research.
Because Fan Qingsheng until the actual purification and large-scale production of penicillin, after getting Li Puyu's funds and equipment, penicillin came out the next week. However, Li Puyu did not immediately disclose it to the public because it was conducting clinical trials. Because penicillin, which everyone knows in later generations, has allergic symptoms to many people. Not everyone can use penicillin. The problem of the skin test was successfully solved. And after more than 1,000 clinical successes, Fan Qingsheng told the results to his chairman Li Puyu.
When Fan Qingsheng handed the method of penicillin purification and mass production to Li Puyu in the form of a document, Li Puyu could be said to be an unusual surprise. I have one more chip in my hand. It was difficult not to be surprised, and then Li Puyu sent a large number of people to various countries in Europe, America and Asia to solve the patent problem, and then announced the news to the world in a hurry. The purification and large-scale production of penicillin, as well as reports of clinical trials, occupied the front page and the second page of the African People's Daily. All other news gave way, and even the news of Li Puyu presiding over state affairs was arranged in three pages, of course, this was Li Puyu's order. Now in the territory of Africa, who dares to put the news of national leaders on the front page, especially the government mouthpiece of the African People's Daily. (To be continued.) )
