Chapter 127: Treatment of Alzheimer's disease

Lin Yu submitted a project application to the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, and after consultation with the Department of Life Medicine, his application was approved.

After Academician Li heard about it, he flew back to Beijing directly from the Dongguang Institute of Medicine, where he had gone to work.

According to statistics, about 52 million people in Bluestar suffer from Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease. Data shows that with the increase of human life expectancy and the aging of human society, the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease, also known as "Alzheimer's disease", is also rising, and it is expected that the number of Alzheimer's patients will increase to about 150 million by almost 2050.

"Lin Yu", as soon as Academician Li got off the plane, he hurriedly rushed to the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, and he didn't even rest for a while.

"Elder Li." Lin Yu was a little surprised to see Academician Li rushing over.

"I heard you're going to do Alzheimer's drug research?"

"How? Are you sure? ”

"Yes." Lin Yu stood up and poured a cup of tea for Academician Li.

"Old Li, aren't you in Dongguang?"

"I heard you're going to do this research, so I rushed back."

"So did Mr. Li come to help us?" Lin Yu was a little pleased, if he had the help of Li Lao, he would be much easier when he was researching and looking for evidence.

Lin Yu is now holding the information on the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, but the system does not give him information on the pathogenesis and mechanism of Alzheimer's disease, which is equivalent to holding the correct answer in his hand in the exam, which means that he has no problem solving process.

If he didn't even understand the pathogenic factors and pathogenesis, how could he solve and prevent the emergence of this disease? So that the drugs he produces will not be convincing.

Although there is no such research that can directly develop drugs, there is no big problem in the academic community, and it may even find the key factors in the birth of Alzheimer's disease, but many patients who claim to be intelligent people will be skeptical.

It's like traditional Chinese medicine, because it can't figure out the principle of cure, it has been criticized on the Internet, and even scolding wars have been occurring all the time.

Even if serious academics recognize that this is a profession that treats diseases and saves people, and even wants to explain traditional Chinese medicine with a more reasonable system, there are still a considerable number of people who just don't recognize it.

Lin Yu also knows this, so he is very worried about his direct introduction of Alzheimer's disease treatment drugs, after all, the medicine is for patients, but if the marketing account makes a big fuss on this basis, then effective drugs may also become harmful drugs, rather believe in the Internet, than doctors, this is already the norm for many people.

"No, I'm sure you can fix it, but I'd like to hear how you can fix it." Academician Li rejected his proposal, "My own research is not finished yet, and I will see if I can help you when I finish the work at hand."

"Okay." Lin Yu was a little lost.

"Mr. Li should know about the current research on Alzheimer's disease, right?"

"I know a little bit, but that's not my research direction, so I don't pay much attention to it." Academician Li told the truth, he is the solver of the Ebola virus, focusing on the study of viral pathology, and the main view of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is that a special protein appears inside the brain nerves - Tau protein, which can cause autophagy disorders in the brain, so it will cause the remains of dead nerve cells to precipitate and aggregate, thus becoming amyloid precipitation.

Lin Yu stayed in the system research institute every night for the past few days, and he was slightly shocked when he entered the medical laboratory for the first time, what kind of medical laboratory is here, it is simply the underground base of mad scientists.

The tank of formalin solution was soaked with a lot of human organs, and the entire laboratory was lit in a faint green, and there were some models of dummies.

"I said system, why have you been letting yourself go more and more lately?"

"The host can turn on the lights."

Lin Yu wanted to complain that a virtual laboratory still had to turn on the lights.

But he acted honestly, and directly found the switch to turn on the lights here, and as soon as the lights were turned on, the place was much brighter.

This laboratory has all the materials that Lin Yu wants to study.

"I don't understand, what are you doing with such a perverted system?" Lin Yu held a jar of Alzheimer's diseased brain that survived in the nutrient solution in front of him.

"Brain in a vat, isn't it?"

Fortunately, Lin Yu is at least half a medical student, and he has also done dissection experiments with a general teacher, so he has a certain resistance to the scene in front of him.

"Actually, I can directly manifest a person, but I'm worried that the host won't be able to accept it."

"That's fine." Lin Yu directly affirmed the current practice of the system.

Taking advantage of the time difference in the system research institute, Lin Yu began to reverse the principle from drugs.

The first is to determine the specific medical treatment principles of the drug components.

The different components are then injected into the diseased brain and the effects of the components on the lesions are observed.

Then, according to the action of the ingredients, the etiology and pathogenesis are inferred.

From the conclusion to the process, and then to the cause, this is the reverse use of the deductive method, or the special form of use of the inductive method.

"The host can actually directly observe the lesions in the brain, and I can manipulate the timing of the lesions."

"You didn't say it sooner!" Lin Yu was numb, he spent nearly a week, counting the night in the system research institute for about 10 days a day, he spent at least two and a half months.

Fortunately, the mechanism of brain lesions was known through continuous observation and experiments.

Tau protein is actually a neurotoxic protein produced by neuronal autophagy disorder, it will self-produce a targeted proteosome, synthesize a special peptide, this peptide has the properties of prion protein, and will also replicate itself in dead nerve cells, and will also prompt other nerve cells to accelerate the production of Tau, so that the brain produces amyloid precipitation.

Neurodegenerative diseases were born.

Knowing this, Lin Yu was able to push his medicine out without any obstacles.

"Elder Li, this is the case with my own thoughts, I have also consulted a lot of information, and I think the research of several professors from Hanwu University is completely correct, and I can start from this aspect."

"In that case, then I wish you a successful start." Academician Li didn't worry about Lin Yu, so he ran over to take a look, and since he got Lin Yu's idea, he could rest assured.

Such a young man cannot be ruined by public opinion.

In the next two years, he continued to lead his team and published many heavyweight papers in Big S and Big N journals.

These papers are approaching the root of Alzheimer's disease step by step, and the papers of Lin Yu's team are like earthquakes, which have set off monstrous waves in the entire ocean.
