Chapter 249: Lupus Erythematosus
"Lemonade lowers uric acid!?"
When Fang Qian heard Lu Jiu's words, his eyes immediately widened, and his face was full of incredulity.
This thing is even more outrageous than the cane sugar closing.
Because if this thing is true, then lemons can completely replace uric acid-lowering drugs, and food has almost no side effects compared to drugs.
This study, if confirmed, would be devastating for uric acid-lowering drugs.
Far more influential than sucrose.
If it is analogous to diabetes, it is equivalent to the effect of a food that can replace metformin, and there are no side effects.
There are more than 100 million diabetic patients in the country, and the interests of drugs and pharmaceutical companies behind them are probably in billions or even tens of billions.
Although there are less than 100 million patients with gout, only more than 80 million, this data is definitely lagging behind.
Therefore, whether lemon water can replace urate-lowering drugs, the value behind the research is very huge.
This can not only make many gout patients no longer bear the financial pressure, but also make the country's medical insurance burden lighter.
Because the conventional uric acid-lowering drugs are included in the national medical insurance.
In the past three years, the economy has declined, many people's wages have fallen, and all walks of life are cutting expenses, even civil servants in the iron rice bowl have a tendency to reduce their salaries.
National medical insurance is also struggling to support.
If this study is put on the agenda, it will be absolutely good for the country and the people!
As for the capital behind this.
Fang Qian is just hehe, your worker's grandfather is not a capitalist.
"Lu Jiu, if you are sure, then let's start an experimental study immediately, and I will apply to the dean!" Fang Gandao.
"Don't worry, I don't have to fool you, but this time, I hope our hospital can get involved." Lu Jiudao.
"Oh? That's great, just do a few more control group trials, and I really want to know how Chinese medicine views the problem of uric acid, if Chinese medicine can also lower uric acid, even better than lemon, then the content of this paper is even richer. Fang Qiandao.
"But there's a catch." Lu Jiudao.
"What's the problem?" Fang Gandao.
"There are too few patients in our hospital, and even fewer patients with gout, so I'm afraid we won't be able to do the trial." Lu Jiudao.
"What should I do, this is simple, I will recommend some patients to go to our hospital to see, let's draw sixty patients first, we are thirty, you thirty, first agree to use lemonade to lower uric acid, and then use traditional Chinese medicine to lower uric acid in the second stage, of course, we don't use it here, you use it here, and then compare and see the effect, oh yes, your hospital has just been established, it is estimated that there will be not enough manpower to invest in scientific research, I will lend you two people here, it happens that you also know each other, one is called Tong Fei, and the other is called Wen Cheng." Fang Gandao.
"What about you?" Lu Jiu felt a little embarrassed.
"I'll just worry about it, there are a lot of people in the department, and besides, this research needs to increase the number of people, and I will apply to the dean when I go back, don't worry about this." Fang Qian said with a smile.
As long as the paper can be produced smoothly, the manpower is basically not a matter for the other party.
After the two discussed some details, the date of the trial was determined, and later, Fang Qian would ask gout patients from the People's Hospital to come to Lu Jiu for treatment.
Lu Jiu also told all the doctors in the hospital about the news.
They also unanimously agreed.
Although they are still skeptical about whether lemons can lower uric acid, they can use traditional Chinese medicine to lower uric acid in the future, and they can pack tickets.
Of course, uric acid lowering is not strictly speaking, the main direction of traditional Chinese medicine.
In the treatment of gout patients, traditional Chinese medicine basically restores the patient's own function while dispelling evil spirits, and will not stare at the data of uric acid to make a fuss.
In many cases, after the patient's own function is restored, the uric acid will naturally decrease.
However, in other people's discourse systems, their research can only develop in this direction, otherwise they don't even have the right to speak.
As long as the paper of this joint scientific research can effectively prove that traditional Chinese medicine can lower uric acid without side effects at all, it is enough!
……
A week passed quickly, and Fang Qian also sent Wen Cheng and Tong Fei over, and at the same time let the thirty gout patients come to Lu Jiu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Prior to this, they and their families had also signed contracts agreeing to cooperate with scientific research.
Lu Jiu also began to use lemon water to lower uric acid for these 30 gout patients.
Of course, the specific work was not done by Lu Jiu, but by Peng Yan, Sun Yuanwen and Zhang Xiaoyong.
The three of them were the first to know about this, and they were also very curious about lemonade to lower uric acid, so they took the initiative to ask Lu Jiu to participate in this scientific research project.
They may not be mentioned in the name of the paper, but the process must be experienced.
Wen Cheng and Tong Fei are dedicated to recording data.
On the first day, all 30 gout patients drank two glasses of lime-soaked water.
Wen Cheng and Tong Fei originally thought that even if something like lemon was really useful, it was estimated that they would have to wait for ten days and half a month to drink.
As a result, after taking a cup in the morning and a cup in the afternoon, almost all of them dropped by seventy or eighty in the original value after taking a test at eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
This conclusion stunned the two!
It's not that the drop is too high, but the rate of uric acid lowering is too fast.
When this data is taken out, people who don't know think they have taken medicine.
However, a temporary decrease does not mean that it will drop every day.
Generally speaking, the uric acid of gout patients will be around four or five hundred, and it can reach six or seven hundred.
If you take uric acid-lowering drugs, you will reduce your uric acid to a normal level within about two to four weeks.
If lemon water can be done within a month, all the uric acid of these gout patients will be reduced to normal values.
Then the value of this test is too high!
It is almost foreseeable to be on the Chinese Medical Journal again!
Because this study is higher than the gold content of sucrose!
Wen Cheng and the others were also quite excited, they didn't expect that they could encounter such a good thing in their medical careers.
If the two papers that you can participate in consecutively are listed in the top journals in China, then the road to promotion will basically be half stable.
In the days that followed, Wen Cheng and his wife continued to record the test data.
Almost every day, the uric acid of these patients is decreasing, of course, the value has also decreased, some people are fifty or sixty, some are twenty or thirty, but overall it is decreasing.
Lu Jiu didn't pay any more attention to these, anyway, the results of the test would take a month, and during this period, only Wen Cheng and Tong Fei needed to record the data.
"Doctor Lu, oops, Doctor Lu, I can be regarded as finding you, I haven't seen you for a few months, how did you change to such a big hospital, I also heard that this hospital was opened by you, and now you are the president?"
When it was time to get off work, Lu Jiu was about to ride a small electric donkey home, but as soon as he put on his helmet, a person rushed over next to him.
It was Qiao Ling, who had seen him before.
"Why are you looking for me, is it uncomfortable?" Lu Jiu asked.
"Well, it's not me, it's a friend of mine, she...... She had lupus erythematosus. ”
……
The news is seriously overtimed, and it is a hard overtime worker for a day, and the second watch will be made up tomorrow! o(╥﹏╥)o
