Chapter 605 Salute to the Great

Artemisinin? lupus erythematosus?

Can these two irrelevant things be brought together?

Forgive them for not reading much, they are really unexpected.

Of course, before they could understand, Tu Youyou at the speaking table had already spoken again: "My other report today is to use artemisinin to cure lupus erythematosus!"

"There is a saying that the inspiration of a scientist is like that fleeting white dove, and this white dove in the field of life sciences has become an incredible coincidence again and again."

"It was also a coincidence that artemisinin could cure lupus erythematosus. When we were testing a treatment for artemisinin resistance, we drew blood from a patient."

"In his blood, antinuclear antibodies can be positive, rheumatoid factor can be positive, immunoglobulins (IgG, IGA, IGM) can be elevated at the same time, and anti-ENA antibodies can be positive."

"After further testing and diagnosis, we learned that this patient was a carrier of lupus erythematosus."

"According to the process, this sample should be discarded, but because of the progress of the test, this sample was finally kept and the test was successful."

"Coincidentally, after adding artemisinin, the virus in the blood was significantly reduced."

"With this, we started a trial of artemisinin as a cure for lupus erythematosus."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

If the former discovery has a global scope and is more reasonable to foreign countries, then the latter result is to benefit China.

Throughout China, there are more than one million patients suffering from lupus erythematosus.

Lupus erythematosus is known as an incurable disease. Throughout the medical world, there is no one drug that can completely cure him.

Although it is only a skin disease, the damage caused is huge, and it can cause a variety of complications, such as joint pain, chronic bursitis, hair loss, photosensitivity, etc.

Although it is not fatal, it has a great impact on people's normal life.

If artemisinin can be useful for lupus erythematosus, it will end the embarrassing situation of "no medicine to cure", and let artemisinin benefit more patients.

"The oath report behind me, like the previous one, has the same number of samples as before."

"According to previous clinical observations, I found that the efficacy of artemisinin on discoid lupus erythematosus and systemic lupus erythematosus is higher than 90% and 80% respectively."

More than 50% is considered a miracle, and more than 80% can only be described as a magical skill.

"Guru..."

Qin Luo carefully swallowed his saliva.

Even if he is the owner of the system, he is a little bit shocked at this moment.

Tu Youyou's achievements are really too high.

Healing millions of people with a wave of hands has touched the ceiling of life science.

His achievements are comparable to those of Alexander Fleming who invented penicillin.

Alexander Fleming, a famous American scientist, first discovered penicillin in 1928. Later, the world-renowned pathologist Florey and biochemist Qian En further studied and improved, and successfully used it to treat human diseases. The three won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

The advent of penicillin ushered in a new era of synthetic drugs, and his discovery has saved hundreds of millions or even billions of people.

Tu Youyou and Fleming, two Nobel Prize winners, are equally great.
