Back To The Age Of The '80s

"This is a TKI targeting EGRF, that is, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Erlotinib has performed well in bioclinical. Especially for patients who have tried two or more chemotherapy regimens Failure of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer can significantly prolong the survival of advanced patients."

Li Zheng talked eloquently in the interview room. The interviewer was the famous Hector. He had interviewed successive US presidents, major politicians and wealthy businessmen in the world. The special report of "Deng and the Cowboy Hat".

This issue of the report was highly regarded in Huaguo, and it was even included in the textbooks for high school students in Huaguo, becoming a highlight in the history of Huaguo.

"Advanced non-small cell lung cancer?" Hector had obviously done his homework, and the astonishment on his face could not be concealed, "You know, there is no drug for advanced non-small cell lung cancer on the market. In other words In other words, if non-small cell lung cancer is advanced, there is no cure. Why can erlotinib do this.”

"The development of erlotinib is a brand-new anticancer drug idea. All the secrets of the human body lie in genes, including diseases. Targeted drugs are treatments aimed at specific cancer-causing sites at the level of cell molecules. This site can be a protein molecule inside the tumor cell, or a gene fragment."

Li Zheng took out a gene fragment model and pointed to the downstream of the gene fragment with his finger.

"Assuming that this is the cancer-causing site of non-small cell lung cancer, after entering the human body, Erlotinib will exclusively select the cancer-causing site to bind and act, causing tumor cells to die specifically, and it is superior to chemotherapy in that it will not It affects the normal tissue cells around the tumor. Therefore, the side effects on the human body can be said to be minimized."

"Wow." Hector let out a cry of surprise. Even a layman like him could hear the explosive message in Li Zheng's words. It only binds to the cancer site, causing tumor cells to die specifically. If all cancers Can be operated in this way, does this mean that human beings will defeat cancer?

Thinking of this, Hector couldn't help getting excited. With the advancement of science and technology, diseases have been overcome one by one, and cancer is the most threatening disease to human life today, and it is also the most difficult to overcome.If the news that humans have conquered cancer breaks out in his live broadcast room...

Even though he has experienced countless big scenes, he couldn't help feeling a surge of excitement.

"Professor Li, does this mean that human beings have found a way to defeat cancer?" Hector asked impatiently, he hadn't had such a boyish excitement for a long time.

"No, to be precise, I saw the way to defeat cancer. The biggest difficulty in the development of targeted drugs is not the molecular formula of the drug, but finding the target. There are countless genes in the human body, such as 30 billion nucleotide sequences. In Finding a single fragment among so many genes is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and that's what the Human Genome Project is doing."

"The establishment of genetic maps, the establishment of physical maps, the determination of DNA sequences, and the identification of genes. The completion of this plan will play a vital role in the fight against cancer. Moreover, the establishment of genetic maps will also play an important role in the treatment and screening of genetic diseases. It means a lot."

"It seems that Professor Li came to my program to advertise."

"Hahaha. That's right." The two laughed lightly.

"Where did Professor Li go? Professor Ruiz has been making ward rounds for the past few days."

"The patient's mood is still very low. The two patients left one after another, which has a great impact on other patients. They even rumored in private that our drug is not beneficial to the tumor at all. I heard that the office has received several withdrawals from the experiment. application."

The researchers discussed softly. After reading yesterday's blood test data, they patrolled the ward as usual.

The "Great Achievements" of Ruiz and Li Zheng was played on a loop in the ward. The patients didn't seem to care, but they would unconsciously glance at the TV from the corner of their eyes.

No one wants to die, they just lack a little hope of living.

Suddenly, two medical staff came in from the door. They took out the video tape in the video recorder, and snowflakes suddenly appeared on the TV.

Lying on the hospital bed, the patient closed his eyes and meditated, and suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were fixed on the actions of the medical staff, and when he saw that the TV had switched to the normal channel interface, he couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you put it on?"

Yeah, why not let it go, maybe play it two more times, and they can convince themselves that maybe these two great biologists can really develop a drug that saves their lives.

Perhaps, they really can live another year, two years or even five years.

The medical staff smiled at him, and used the remote control to tune the TV channel to New York.

Li Zheng's face suddenly appeared on the TV.

"Erlotinib has good clinical performance. Especially for locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has failed two or more chemotherapy regimens, it can significantly prolong the survival of advanced patients." Li Zheng The voice of the TV was transmitted to everyone's ears clearly through the built-in speaker of the TV.

The patient on the hospital bed moved his body with difficulty, sat up from the bed, and looked at the familiar young professor's face on TV without blinking.

He dared to say it on the New York TV station. Does this mean that the drug called erlotinib is really effective?

For a while, the same idea came to the minds of patients in clinical trials.

When Ruiz saw Li Zheng who was late, he stood up abruptly.

He quickly walked up to Li Zheng, "Are you crazy?! It's only been a few days since the clinical trial of the drug started. Even if the results of the biological experiments are not bad, how can you say such things in public? In case the drug fails in the clinical trial, in case If the FDA does not approve it, your reputation will be greatly damaged!"

Ruiz really appreciates this junior with high academic level, and he hopes that he can go on forever. He has a hunch that this talented young man will bring them miracles.He didn't want a genius to die on the road of growth because of some trivial things.

Li Zheng rubbed his nose. He felt that he might have been influenced by this young shell. It was the same when he was in Duoman. His rationality had not yet fully come online, and his mouth had already spoken.

This time it was well thought out.But what he did seems a little impulsive to others.

"This is the fastest way. New York TV and Hector, representatives of authority in the hearts of Americans, only in this way can they get rid of the shadow of death and rekindle hope in the shortest possible time. As you said, the patient The mood has a great influence on our experiment." Li Zheng said.

Ruiz opened his mouth, unable to speak, young man, how dare you do it!

"Li, you are amazing, really." He paused and continued: "Let us work together to make your prophecy on TV come true!"

Here, Li Zheng's TV interview successfully rekindled the hope of human clinical patients. On the other side of the ocean, Chinese biologists also saw the video of this live TV broadcast.

The Huaguo biology circle, which had been arguing for half a month, finally calmed down a little.

At least, they clearly understood the influence of this junior in their eyes, the young Professor Huaqing, in the United States.

New York TV and Hector, in China, there are only a handful of people who have this kind of treatment, and the most famous one is the most respected old man in China.

"This is your Professor Li from Huaqing?" An old biology senior who settled in the south asked in an uncertain tone.

As a biologist, he certainly understands the meaning of targeted drugs that Li Zheng said on TV. This is a brand new anti-cancer drug. If it is proven to be effective, based on this academic achievement, even if he is given a Nobel Prize Too much.

And, it might actually speed up the progress of the Human Genome Project.

"Yes." Chen Anbang nodded blankly. He has always had extremely complicated emotions towards Li Zheng.Li Zheng respected him very much, that kind of respect even surpassed Zhao Depei, and even the former Meng Jiayin. Chen Anbang didn't know why, but it didn't affect his secret joy.

However, he found that it seemed that this young back, every time he appeared, would bring him great surprises, and along with that, there would be a growing gap between himself and him.

"Are you sure he promised you to give Hua Guo a place in the Human Genome Project?" Elder Tian pressed on crutches and asked.

"That's what he told Principal Zhao." Chen Anbang replied blankly.

Tian Lao took a deep breath, and beat the ground with his crutches, "Let Xiao Zhao come over immediately, and make another phone call in front of us!" Tian Lao's voice was resounding.

"Yeah yeah."

"You have to hear it with your own ears to be at ease."

"good."

Elder Tian's words aroused a lot of applause.

Chen Anbang nodded and was about to go out when someone suddenly said, "It's too late for him to run out and find the phone booth. Let's go directly to Xiao Zhao's. Doesn't he have a phone?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded.

So Zhao Depei, who was yelling at his subordinates for not being able to do things on the phone, looked up and saw a group of people standing at the door.

The phone slipped in his hand and almost fell to the ground.

"Principal? Principal?" Seeing Zhao Depei scolding halfway through the phone, he stopped abruptly. After waiting for a long time, there was no sound, so he couldn't help but speak cautiously.

"Patter" the phone was hung up.Zhao Depei hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

"Tian Lao, Yang Lao, why are you here?"
