Back To The Age Of The '80s

Zheng Lingling put forward the proposal of Zhenzhe management as the first batch of clinical volunteers for HPV vaccine.Li Zheng, Liu Sichao, Zhang Chao and other project workers couldn't wait to try the vaccine effect on themselves as early as the end of the biological experiment.

Zheng Lingling saw a group of big men injecting herself with the HPV vaccine, with an undisguised disgust on her face, she proposed that she would also be willing to receive the vaccine, but was stopped by Li Zheng.

Li Zheng prepared for the worst. In case the drug clinic really can't recruit volunteers, they have to be on top of them. Zheng Lingling, a precious woman, should be kept for now.

Just before Li Zheng came to make the last attempt, Zheng Lingling told him that the management of Zhenzhe was unanimously willing to be the first batch of volunteers for the HPV vaccine.

It must be a lie for Li Zheng to say that he is not moved. Apart from the three or four people who came out of Li Zheng's laboratory, Zhenzhen's management team is all new colleagues. It is a great respect for Li Zheng that new colleagues can make such a decision. Big trust too.

Li Zheng's words were resounding, especially the last sentence, which made the whole meeting room commotion again.

In foreign countries, it is not uncommon for researchers to test drugs by themselves. For example, the hepatitis B vaccine used to have a twists and turns in its clinical path. When it was first submitted to the FDA, the FDA rejected its application.

The staff of the vaccine project injected themselves, and then the people around them slowly spread. It took several years for the FDA to officially approve the clinical application for this project.

But in Huaguo, this seems to be a remarkable thing.The eyes of the seniors looking at Li Zheng suddenly changed. They knew that Professor Li had extraordinary attainments in pharmaceutical sciences, but they didn't think that besides academic level, this person's ideological and moral heights were even more astonishing.

In order to develop a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, exposing yourself to the HPV virus is risking your life for research!

Everyone felt that the documents in hand became a little heavy.

The fans of Yanjing Hotel were still buzzing. A group of biological scholars took out the pens in their breast pockets and began to write and draw on the materials. They began to seriously evaluate the clinical feasibility of this project.

Li Zheng's dignified expression eased a bit, as long as he is willing to read it seriously, I am afraid that you will reject it without even reading it.

Time passed by every minute, and apart from the sound of the fan, the only sound that could be heard in the conference room was the flipping of pages.

"What are the old men doing in there? We are about to get off work." Outside the meeting room, several aunts in their forties gathered together.

The state-run guest house is not like the 24-hour service with a smile in the hotel of the later generations. When the off-duty time came, a group of old men still stayed in the meeting room, which made the group of aunts unhappy.They still want to go home early and rest.

"How about we go in and remind you?"

"Go, go, if it weren't for the fact that there are older people inside, I would have just gone in and sent them away!" someone said.

So these bigwigs who are among the best in the field of biology in China encountered the most embarrassing thing in their lives.

A few middle-aged aunts dressed in the uniforms of service staff of Yanjing Hotel walked into the conference room with their hips crossed, and said in Beijing dialect with a strong accent: "It's off work, it's off work, we're all off work, you can go to another place and wait." Read a book."

Everyone was stunned at first, and then they didn't know who started it, and there was a huge burst of laughter.

Elder Yang held back his smile and stood up with a dry cough, "Okay, big sister, let's change places." He called everyone to get up.

The big guys all had smiles on their faces, and while picking things up neatly, they smiled and apologized to the service staff, "I'm sorry, big sister, for delaying your get off work."

When the leaders of Yanjing Hotel came in a hurry, half of the bosses had already stepped out of the gate of Yanjing Hotel.

This meeting room was reserved by Mr. Yang, and the leader was sweating incessantly. He just forgot to say one more thing, how did this happen.

You must know that although these people are not high-ranking officials with real power, they are above the main hall at several levels, and these experts and scholars are all capable of reaching the heavens.

"Old Yang, this..."

"It's okay, we are wasting your time, don't worry about it."

"But……"

"No need." Elder Yang patted the leader on the shoulder, then walked out the door with a smile.

Everyone didn't take this matter to heart at all, and some people even thought it was funny, and there was another joke to talk about after dinner.

After this meeting, the drug control department had a three-month debate on whether to approve the clinical application of HPV vaccine. On August 1990, 8, Huaguo’s first original vaccine drug was launched in Huajing for the first time. drug clinical.

Professor Li Zheng, the No. 1 biologist in Huaguo, injected the HPV vaccine into himself under the live broadcast of CTV, demonstrating the safety of the vaccine with facts.

"The first batch of 50 clinical patients, 17 people have signed up so far, and 8 people are too poor to live on, counting on those test fees. The other 9..." Zhang Chao paused, with a strange expression on his face "The other 9 are students from the biology departments of various colleges and universities in Huajing. They admire you very much, and some even proposed that they don't need to pay for the test drug, just to meet you."

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, did he enjoy the treatment of an idol?

But it took Li Zheng a few days to understand what the real idol effect is.

Li Zheng originally planned to officially start the first clinical trial of the drug on August 8, which is half a month after the approval order, but seeing the time getting closer, the first batch of 15 places has not been filled.

Zhang Chao was anxious, and when he contacted Xiangjiang, he couldn't help confiding a few words, which reached Zhou Sitian's ears.

Without further ado, Zhou Sitian came to the inland without telling Li Zheng, and publicly announced that she would become a clinical volunteer for HPV vaccine as a Xiangjiang star.

At this moment, Xiangjiang and the inland were both shaken.

It is said that those little fresh meats of later generations have great influence, but in terms of influence, the influence of those Xiangjiang girls in the eighties and 90s at that time was definitely not inferior to the little fresh meats of later generations, and even surpassed them.

Zhou Sitian's open registration has attracted many Xiangjiang residents to come to Huajing to participate in HPV vaccine clinical trials. The same is true in the mainland. Not long after the news spread, the 50 places were full, and some people even lingered at the entrance of the hospital. Must attend.The staff refused to leave despite repeated persuasion.

"Sister, your influence is really great." Li Zheng couldn't help sighing when he saw that the quota was fully booked two hours after the news spread.

"I have read the information. After breast cancer, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women. If I can do my part to eliminate cervical cancer, it will be beneficial to me both in public and in private." Zhou Sitian smiled. said.

A trace of tenderness flashed in Li Zheng's eyes, his sister, that's how she was, she refused to admit that she made this decision because she loved her younger brother, and used her own life to seek a false name, Zhou Sitian was never like this species of people.

"Sister, thank you." Li Zheng said softly.

Zhou Sitian glanced at him, "It's better to take care of yourself than to say thank you. There is no day or night all day long. I didn't like Liang Zhe at first, but now I think it's his fault. Otherwise, no one can stand you." !"

Li Zheng...

Because of Zhou Sitian’s influence, the first batch of 50 volunteers started clinical trials of the drug smoothly, and the clinical trials went very smoothly. After 50 volunteers were injected with HPV vaccine, 100% of the subjects developed anti-HPV viruses Antibodies, and the risk of infection under a single exposure to HPV virus was reduced by 94%, and 86% of people were still protected and uninfected after six exposures to HPV.

As soon as this result came out, everyone felt very excited. Biologists including Mr. Yang were also very concerned about this clinical trial. After all, if it is successful, this HPV vaccine can be called the first to a certain extent. anti-cancer vaccines.

With the full cooperation of the drug control department, on October 1990, 10, the second drug clinical trial was launched in Huajing No. 25 Hospital.

This time, the scale was expanded, and the number of people participating in the experiment reached 200, which was the largest in the history of drug clinical trials in Huaguo.

When there are more people, there are more things to do.The old man's words were true. This time Li Zheng's luck was obviously not so good. On November 1990, 11, the first death case in the history of Huaguo drug clinical trials was born in Huajing No. 6 Hospital.

"I'm not breathing, the 17-bed volunteer is not breathing!" The night watch nurse exclaimed, then ran out, "Quickly inform the director, contact Dr. Hu and the laboratory! Hurry up!"

The one who died was a female college student of the Aviation University named Zhang Xiaoke.Her boyfriend is from the Huaqing Department of Biology, and she admires Li Zheng very much. Every day, she mutters that if she is a woman, she must participate in the HPV vaccine clinical trial. As soon as Zhang Xiaoke heard about it, she signed up for this clinical trial.

It was after one o'clock in the morning when Li Zheng received the notification, and he and Zhang Chao rushed over as quickly as possible.

"It has been rescued, but the rescue was ineffective. The death incident was at 26:[-]." Dr. Hu said solemnly.

The face of the official of the drug control department was so black that water dripped out, and the worst happened. "The cause of death, is it because of the vaccine?" he asked.

Dr. Hu shook his head, "It's impossible to see the cause of death just like this."

"Then what should we do, you are doctors, you should find a way!"

"Need an autopsy, right?" Li Zheng, who had been silent all this time, looked up at Dr. Hu.

Hu Zhongming sighed, "Yes, it needs to be dissected. We need the consent of the family members."

Everyone present was silent for a while. How could they say this? A good person came to participate in a drug clinical trial and something happened. This person died, and he had to dissect his body. If he said this, he would have to be smashed into an egg.

"Professor Li, don't worry, since our drug administration department has approved the clinical trial of the drug, we will take care of it. I have seen the effect of the drug with my own eyes. At most, this matter will delay the time to market the drug." The official of the department is a dare to take responsibility, so he said so.
