Chapter 1877 - Trade Union (2)

"Okay, when all the work is done, we'll publish the results to the public." Mr. Andy nodded in understanding.

He understood what the little boss meant, the HIBS Institute is not short of those vain things, but in order to successfully attract a large number of high-tech talents, it is not enough to just give high salaries, and it is necessary to show some achievements to prove themselves, otherwise it is difficult to attract a large number of brainless researchers.

Senior talents engaged in biomedical majors are generally not short of money, even ordinary researchers who have worked for several years, most of them have an annual salary of more than 200,000 US dollars, relatively speaking, this part of the people pay more attention to fame, and finding out the origin of SARS This kind of major event can definitely attract the attention of many people.

Han Xuan really attaches great importance to this research institute, otherwise he would not have agreed to inject so much money every year, and the amount invested is higher than the research funds invested in SpaceX.

Today, the number of patients who die of cancer every day in the world is as high as 8,000, and this is still recorded, and the number is even more unrecorded.

AIDS is also a major problem in today's medical community, and since the first case was diagnosed in the United States in 1981, the virus has spread at an alarming rate around the world.

According to the 2004 AIDS Epidemic Report released by the United Nations HIV Programme and the World Health Organization in November 2004, the number of people infected with HIV worldwide reached a new high of 39 million in 2004, with 4.9 million new infections and more than 3 million patients last year.

Sub-Saharan is still the region with the worst HIV infection, with an infection rate of more than 25 percent, and the average life expectancy in nine countries in that region is even lower than forty years ago.

In addition, various other diseases are also plaguing human health, if you die at the end of your life or in an accident, then it is acceptable, but because of the disease, it is even more heart-wrenching, which is also the original intention of Han Xuan to establish this institute - to save more people's lives and let them not be tormented by illness.

As for making money, this is also one of the reasons, but it is not what Han Xuan values the most, ten years ago when he first went to college, the ranch neighbor Old Hall died unexpectedly because of cerebrovascular disease, a person so good said that it was gone, and later after his wife moved away, he also died of a tumor.

As long as he is not alone in isolation, there are some relatives and friends who have died due to illness, and the most commonly heard names include "heart disease", "stroke", "diabetes", "cancer" and so on.

Han Xuan and Mr. Andy walked side by side, Executive Anthony was whispering to Secretary Dawson, as the only personal secretary, Dawson often contacted Executive Anthony, the two are old friends, the chat topic focuses on what he has seen and heard in Africa in recent times, he is busy with work all day, and travel is one of the ways for Anthony to relieve stress.

Compared with the content of the chat between Dawson and Mr. Anthony, Han Xuan and Mr. Andy chatted much more loftly, and he was asking Andy: "You know post-exposure-prophylaxis, how is the post-promotion of this drug going?"

I heard about it being developed more than a year ago, and the clinical results are already in, right? ”

The HIBS Institute has been established for a short time, even if its predecessor is counted, it is only five or six years, compared to the research and development cycle of a drug, this is a very short time, although there is no particularly powerful drug, but there are many progresses, including this drug called "post-exposure-prophylaxis".

Its name is unfamiliar to most people, PEP is a new drug, the only function is the same as emergency contraception, but it protects against HIV.

Prior to this, most of the propaganda in schools, communities, hospitals, and other countries around the world was only to popularize the transmission of HIV/AIDS, including the introduction of the virus in school textbooks, and only at the level of awareness.

However, there has never been a popular science propaganda on "how to protect oneself in the early stage of possible HIV infection", which is actually more important and practical, and the most important protection measures in the early stage are the blocking drugs developed by the HIBS Institute, which can reduce the risk of infection.

The principle is to block the virus at all stages of entering the human body, the sooner it is taken, the better, before that, people can only reduce the risk through a variety of specialized anti-HIV drugs, the effect is not as good as PEP, this is a great new drug, so it was remembered by Han Xuan......

"Yes, it is now being produced and put into hospitals and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

I am not responsible for the later promotion, but the article on its effect has long been published in major medical journals and reprinted by the mainstream media.

The friend who works for the Las Vegas Police Department had a tourist in his area who had been assaulted after drinking too much, and then found out that the person had HIV and asked me what to do, and I recommended PEP to him.

After the incident, I communicated with the police and disseminated the news about the drug to ensure that if a similar situation happens, people can go to the hospital or the local Red Cross as soon as possible and ask for a blocking drug.

In the early stage of taking it, there may be drowsiness, low-quality sleep, dizziness, nausea, hallucinations and other side effects, in the first two days is the most serious, and there is basically no reaction in the later stage of taking, for the group, the probability of HIV infection can indeed be calculated, for individuals, the probability of infection is zero and 100%, and it must be treated with caution. ”

Andy thought of something, suddenly became happy, and continued to answer Han Xuan: "In addition to this drug, our researchers have also improved the existing cocktail therapy and added Act to it.

Its role is to enhance the activity of cells, and when healthy cells are full of vitality, immunity will naturally increase, which means that the patient's survival time will be slightly longer.

This mysterious substance from the snowy mountain pastures is too mysterious, and it may be possible to use it to cure some diseases, but we haven't yet grasped the way to open the door through it, and the only miracle effect is actually weight loss, which is really ironic......"
