Chapter 583: The Sensational Effect Caused by Penicillin (Sixth Update!) )

[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 583: The sensational effect caused by penicillin (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) )

Li Lanqing and others were greeted by a Chinese named Li Qi, who was an officer of the San Francisco Chinese Businessmen Federation, of course, secretly as a party member, and his responsibility was to cooperate with Li Lanqing to complete the task of raising funds.

Li Qi didn't know how much impact the arrival of the Chinese woman he greeted would have on the United States, Li Qi didn't expect it, the Americans didn't think of it, Li Lanqing himself didn't think of it, and even Ma Zheng, the initiator, didn't expect it.

After arriving in San Francisco, Wu Liande and others did not rush to announce to the world a major breakthrough in the purification and application of penicillin, but now registered a company called Huaxia Pharmaceutical in San Francisco, and then used the large amount of money handed over to them by Ma Zheng to start buying factories and related equipment in San Francisco, and recruited a large number of security personnel.

In order to complete the task as soon as possible, Ma Zheng directly handed over the seized and confiscated tens of millions of yen and about four or five million US dollars to Li Lanqing and others, as well as a whole ton of gold, which was a huge amount of money in that era.

What's more, in this era, prices were relatively cheap, and a Ford car was only $450 in the market, so with a lot of money, the land, factories, and personnel were completed in a very short time.

After everything was ready, under the authorization of Li Lanqing, Wu Liande, as the plenipotentiary representative of Huaxia Company, announced the latest research results of penicillin to the world, and at the same time published a large number of clinical data.

The discovery of penicillin is no longer news in the world medical community, because Fleming had already discovered the drug as early as 1928 and published a paper on penicillin. It's just that due to the purification of penicillin, the drug cannot be tested in clinical trials at all, and everything is just the conjecture of chemists' laboratories.

Medical scientists and chemists around the world have now publicly stated that the problem of penicillin purification has been solved and that the drug has been put into clinical trials.

But even so, there are still many people who do not believe that backward Chinese can make such amazing discoveries in medicine. But isn't there Wu Liande, don't look at Wu Liande's reputation in China, but he has a bit of status in the international medical community.

In fact, as early as 1916, Wu Liande was appointed as the special doctor of President Li Yuanhong of the Beiyang Government and the chief medical officer of the four railways of Jinghan, Jingzhang, Jingfeng and Jinpu. He has presided over the establishment of 20 quarantine centers, hospitals and research institutes, with a total of 2,387 beds. Whether it is in the country or in the world, he is a well-known great doctor, and his status is by no means comparable to that of an ordinary doctor.

In addition, Wu Liande has published more than 300 academic papers, discussing public health, infectious disease epidemiology, medical education, pharmaceutical management, port quarantine, and traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Wu Liande also represented China at many international academic conferences, most notably attending and chairing the International Conference on Plague in Mukden (present-day Shenyang) in 1911.

He also attended the International Medical Congress in London in 1912 and the Second Conference on Narcotics in The Hague at the end of the same year. In 1924, he attended the Pan-Pacific Conference on Preserving Food held in Honolulu, and in 1927, at the invitation of the League of Nations Health Division, he inspected more than 20 countries, and represented China at the Seventh Far Eastern Society of Tropical Diseases convened by the League of Nations in India, and was elected as the vice president.

Wu Liande's status in the world medical community makes his words very credible. Coupled with a large number of photos and clinical data to prove it, many people can't sit still at this time. Because according to the experimental results, the penicillin agent is still effective when diluted 30 million times. Its antimicrobial effect is 9 times greater than that of the most powerful sulfonamides, and 1,000 times more effective than the penicillin powder that Fleming originally purified, and it has no obvious toxicity.

Such an obvious bactericidal effect shocked the medical community, but many people still doubt whether Chinese have the ability to purify penicillin and mass-produce drugs with this effect.

It is important to know that any new type of drug must go through the laboratory, clinical testing, factory mass production, comprehensive sales and other links, and finally reach the hands of the general public. If the problem of mass production cannot be solved, no matter how effective penicillin is to rely solely on the output of laboratory purification, I am afraid that it can only meet the needs of a small number of patients.

Moving from a laboratory to a factory for mass production is not a simple change of site, at least not with the inventor of penicillin, Fleming, and the rediscoverer of penicillin, Dr. Channe. But through their efforts, the drug penicillin has long been famous, and it has become a lifesaver for the rich, and its price is hundreds of times that of the best antibacterial drug at the time, and even the price of not very pure penicillin drugs is so expensive that the average rich person can hardly afford it.

However, now the news that penicillin can be mass-produced in backward China has made many people feel that God is crazy. For a time, many well-known medical experts sent telegrams to the US civil government through the embassies or consulates of various countries in China, asking the US civil government to confirm it.

In fact, the US government was also confused before learning the news, and did not know the inside story, and of course did not believe that the Chinese could study the real penicillin, because the Chinese medicine and technology do not have such capabilities and environment.

However, this news came out of the mouth of the world-famous Malaysian Chinese Wu Liande, and there is still a certain degree of credibility, after all, Wu Liande is not an ordinary doctor, he is a member of the Health Department of the League of Nations, and he is also a well-known plague expert. Since he has made public statements, he will definitely not say anything, and a large number of American reporters went to San Francisco for a while.

In the face of the menacing US imperialist reporters, Wu Liande showed enough composure and self-confidence that he even sent an invitation letter to medical experts from all over the world in the name of the chief expert of Huaxia Pharmaceutical Company, welcoming them to visit San Francisco, and Huaxia Company could provide them with a batch of purified penicillin for their clinical research.

In just a few days, Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union, Japan, and other countries each set up a medical expedition team, which submitted applications to the US government, and even a non-governmental medical organization of the national government also submitted an application to the US government.

Soon, the application for inspection from various countries was quickly approved by the U.S. government, and then a large number of medical experts and chemists flocked to San Francisco, and recently newspapers and magazines around the world have been full of articles about penicillin.

Regardless of whether Huaxia Company can mass-produce penicillin, and whether the effect of penicillin is really as unnatural as Wu Liande advertised. But it is undeniable that penicillin is really popular, and it is still explosive. (To be continued.) )
