Because Xu Rui and his friends often came to Minglu for gatherings, there was no shortage of tables and chairs inside.
At this time, Chen Xia was sitting in the yard chatting with Zheng Haisheng, while several women and children were busy touring the villa.
"Brother-in-law, what was your major in college? Which hospital will you be assigned to this year?"
Zheng Haisheng sat up straight. "I'm a pharmacy major. I studied pharmaceutical research in college. After graduation this year, I'll go to the Provincial First Hospital with your eldest sister, but I'll definitely go to the pharmacy department."
Chen Xia snapped his fingers. "Very good! It seems history hasn't changed because of his rebirth. I hope this future bald old man is a pharmacy major."
Many people don't understand the difference between medicine and pharmacy. Let me put it this way:
Medicine is the systematic study of the treatment of human diseases, clinical disease treatment, and how to perform surgery, which is commonly known as the science of seeing a doctor. Those who work in this field are called physicians.
It is a systematic discipline from disease prevention to treatment. Its major research areas include basic medicine, clinical medicine, forensic medicine, laboratory medicine, preventive medicine, health care medicine, rehabilitation medicine, etc.
The Pharmacy major aims to cultivate high-level scientific and technological talents who have the basic theories, basic knowledge and experimental skills of the pharmaceutical discipline and can engage in identification, drug design, general drug preparation and clinical rational drug use in the fields of drug production, inspection, circulation, use and research and development.
People who work in this field are called pharmacists or druggists.
To put it more simply, doctors know the ingredients of the medicine, its specific effects and side effects, and how to use it clinically.
However, the production process of the drug was unknown, and this was the responsibility of the pharmacist. Later, the field was further subdivided into specialties such as drug separation, drug chemistry, pharmacy, and drug combination.
So even though Chen Xia was reborn with a full pharmacy and roughly knew what medicines had what uses, he had no idea how to produce them. He was completely in the dark.
The previous "Sanliu Weitai" was actually skirting the law. It was covered with a layer of traditional Chinese medicine on the surface, but the real effect was the Western medicine omeprazole.
To put it nicely, this is called a "compound medicine", but to put it bluntly, it is for the purpose of "scamming money". Once Chinese and Western medicines are combined, the price will go up.
Of course, this was not Chen Xia's original idea. It was a trick that many Chinese medicine manufacturers used decades later, such as adding acetaminophen to cold granules, adding codeine to cough syrups, and so on.
These are still good, at least they are marked in the instructions, so everyone knows what to eat.
The most abominable thing is that some medicines don’t even label what specific Western medicine ingredients are added, and then they are advertised all over the world, and people find that they are effective after taking them.
But side effects and drug toxicity are ignored. I won’t name the specific drugs, because if I do, they will definitely be censored.
Chen Xia used to despise these practices of selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton, but after being reborn, he had to learn from them and also came up with a "compound medicine" that combined Chinese and Western medicine and had a good effect.
Ahem, it's so embarrassing to say it out loud.
Back to Minglu Garden:
Chen Xia suddenly asked, "Brother-in-law, let me give you an analogy. If I give you an imported Western medicine with complete instructions, can you imitate it?"
Zheng Haisheng smiled and shook his head: "No."
Chen Xia jumped up. "Why? I gave you the instructions, and you just copied them. You can't copy them that way."
He was so surprised and disappointed. He had originally thought that as long as he had the formula, copying it shouldn't be a problem. Unexpectedly, Zheng Haisheng's answer almost broke him.
He also hopes to make a fortune by imitating the drugs in the space pharmacy.
"Oh, maybe I didn't explain it clearly. If you want to copy a drug, it's not enough to just have the instructions. There are several steps involved."
Chen Xia calmed down, sat down obediently, and said with a playful smile: "Brother-in-law, you are a professional, tell me about it."
Zheng Haisheng is usually shy, but when he talks about his profession, he immediately becomes confident. His brother-in-law is a doctor and is not an amateur, so he starts to explain in detail.
“A drug usually consists of multiple ingredients, including active ingredients, pharmaceutical raw materials and excipients.
Active ingredients are ingredients that have pharmacological activity and can exert medicinal effects; while excipients, although they have no clinical pharmacological effects, may affect the quality, safety and effectiveness of drugs to some extent.
For example, stabilizers in prescriptions can improve product stability; sustained-release materials in sustained-release preparations have a significant impact on drug dissolution, thereby affecting in vivo absorption.”
When Chen Xia heard Zheng Haisheng speak seriously, and this was an unknown field for him, which was related to his future money-making plan, he also took out a pen and paper to prepare to take notes.
If he had studied so hard in his previous life, he would probably have been admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University.
The future academician of Zhengzhou University continued:
"Therefore, if generic drugs can refer to the catalog of original research drugs and keep the same excipient types and dosages, the same crystal form, and the same formulation process, then the drugs can be successfully imitated. This requires a lot of research and cannot be done with just a manual."
After all, Chen Xia had a medical background, so he understood the general idea.
"Brother-in-law, can you give me some examples, such as what specific research areas you want to conduct?"
Zheng Haisheng swallowed his saliva, and Chen Xia understood what he meant at a glance. This guy probably ate too much food and was thirsty because it was too salty. This was not a problem for him.
"Brother-in-law, please sit down for a while. I'll go buy some fruit soda. We'll have a symposium here this afternoon."
After saying that, Chen Xia ran out of the villa, strolled by the West Lake for 10 minutes, found an empty bush, took out a bunch of snacks and fruits, and ran back as fast as he could.
"Sister, Gu Lin, come and help cut the fruit. What's so good about this shabby house?"
Chen Chun and Gu Lin walked out of the villa and started to clean up.
Chen Chun was a little puzzled. "Second Brother, this villa is really magnificent. When did you buy it? Why is there a studio upstairs?"
Chen Xia glanced at Gu Lin guiltily. "Well, this yard was bought for me by a friend. They were college students from the Academy of Fine Arts and used to borrow it from me as a studio. Now they're gone and don't want the things anymore."
Chen Chun nodded with a skeptical expression. This future academician had an extremely high IQ, and it would be difficult to deceive her.
Gu Lin was cutting the mango and putting it into her mouth happily without thinking about it at all.
This is also the reason why Chen Xia finally chose her as his wife. One reason is because she is beautiful, fair-skinned and has long legs. The other reason is that Gu Lin has simple and straightforward thoughts and is not tiring to get along with.
Are you tired of the intrigue between husband and wife? He won't allow you to open Dangdang.com anymore...
