Ren Yuanfei took a sip of beer:
"I've thoroughly studied the information and have mastered the diagnostic and treatment strategies outlined above, but Xiaoxia, are these infectious diseases truly treatable?"
Before the 1980s and 1990s, doctors did not have any particularly good methods to deal with infectious diseases.
Let’s take hepatitis B, which is the most common disease among Chinese people. There are only a few treatments available at present.
One is rest; the second is a high-protein and high-vitamin diet, and no smoking or drinking; the third is enzyme-lowering and liver-protecting treatment, which is still mainly based on Chinese herbal medicine in China.
Chinese medicine is a miraculous tool if used properly, but if used improperly, it can cause serious toxicity to the liver and kidneys, and can further aggravate hepatitis and cause a series of complications.
But these three treatment principles are difficult to implement in China all at once.
For example, the first one has a good rest
Whether a worker or a farmer, they toiled tirelessly every day to earn money, so how could they have time to rest? The 1980s was not an era for lying down.
High-protein and high-vitamin diet is also empty talk
This high-protein diet is mainly animal protein. Who can afford to eat a lot of meat and fish every day and update it every day? Not every family is as rich as the Chen family.
As for the treatment medications, such as Chaihu Shigan San, Longdan Xiegan Tang, Xuefu Zhuyu Tang, Yangyin Rougan Fang, etc., are almost all Chinese patent medicines.
However, these drugs are only temporary solutions and do not address the root cause. As long as the viral replication in the liver does not stop, the liver will remain in a damaged state, and there is a very high possibility that it will eventually develop into cirrhosis or liver cancer.
This is the limitation of treating viral hepatitis in this era. There is no specific medicine.
Ren Yuanfei is conflicted inside.
From the perspective of his professional knowledge and years of work experience, he does not believe that there is any specific medicine for hepatitis or other viral infectious diseases, because so many years have passed and he has never heard of it.
Not to mention that no one in China had heard of it, even though Chen Xia subscribed to so many foreign medical journals for the hospital, there were still no related reports.
But the pharmaceutical company behind Chen Xia has already produced many miracles.
For example, in the field of stomach diseases, they pioneered the theory that Helicobacter pylori is the cause of disease and also invented related drugs.
This made stomach problems, which were once thought to be incurable, truly "curable", creating a miracle in the medical field.
Think about it this way, since Helicobacter pylori can be killed, why can't the hepatitis B virus be killed?
"Xiao Xia, I know about oseltamivir. You even made a fortune with it when you first started working. But didn't you say it was imported? If it's already available overseas, what's the point of our research? How did you get a patent?"
Chen Xia really wanted to slap someone in the face. He had told a lie in the beginning, and now he needed more lies to cover it up.
"Master, it's okay to talk about it now. This oseltamivir was actually still in the experimental stage and had not been patented abroad. We were in a hurry to use it at that time, so I bought it and used it as a test product for foreigners.
Well, this, well, now the patent for this drug has been purchased by our pharmaceutical company, and it's completely owned by us, Pumpkin Vine, so you can use it with confidence. You've seen the efficacy, so thoroughly understand the information and write your paper quickly."
Ren Yuanfei was not so easy to fool, but this disciple was talking nonsense so much that he could only pretend to be confused.
"Are you sure these drugs for treating viral hepatitis are effective? Have you conducted any relevant clinical trials?"
"Preliminary experiments have been conducted. For example, interferon and lamivudine can effectively inhibit viral replication and prevent the virus from damaging the liver. This will prevent complications and allow patients to live a normal life. How wonderful!"
Of course, there are more hepatitis B drugs than just lamivudine. Now Chen Xia can only come up with the first generation of drugs.
The headache of hepatitis B treatment lies in the fact that the virus is very easy to mutate. Once it mutates, the original medicine may become ineffective and you must change the medicine.
But there are only a few drugs to treat hepatitis B.
For example, lamivudine, adefovir dipivoxil, entecavir, telbivudine, tenofovir, pudelfovir, abacavir, etc.
After decades of clinical practice, doctors have mastered the side effects of these drugs, such as the kidney toxicity of adefovir dipivoxil and the easy mutation of lamivudine.
But there's no way around it. If we start with the latest entecavir, what if it mutates? There's no way to upgrade.
Therefore, the drugs can only be released from generation to generation, and then updated after the virus mutates.
Perhaps on that day, Pumpkin Vine Company will be able to conquer the treatment of hepatitis B and completely eliminate the virus.
China is a country with a high incidence of hepatitis B, with over hundreds of millions of patients. The number of people suffering from hepatitis B in the world is nearly 400 million. Wow, this must be a huge market.
Chen Xia unknowingly put himself in the situation again, imagining how much profit a drug could generate for the company.
At this time, Aunt Zhang Li came over with barbecue. "What are you two doing? What do you have to say?"
Chen Xia and Ren Yuanfei looked at each other and laughed.
Ren Yuanfei waved his hand excitedly:
"You came at the right time." Xiao Xia is looking for projects for our department, and there are many topics. You call all the clinical doctors over and I will assign tasks to you. Hehe, it's finally our department's turn to become prosperous.
Zhang Li's eyes lit up:
"Xiao Xia, you finally thought of your mother's family. Oh, seeing Director Xuan and Director Liu so proud, we are all so unhappy. We thought you had forgotten your mother because you got married."
Hahahaha~~~~
When the excited Zhang Li conveyed Chen Xia's meaning to everyone, a group of people really ran over shouting.
Everyone in the national health system knows that the research topics proposed by Vice President Chen can be published in The Lancet, and after joining the relevant laboratory, his monthly subsidy has reached 200 yuan.
Yes, the subsidy has increased. It used to be 100 yuan, but now it is 200 yuan, which was a huge amount of money in 1987.
In a small city like Yuezhou, this salary level exceeds that of a director-level official.
Gu Wei smiled as he watched his son-in-law assigning tasks to everyone not far away, and he felt very emotional.
When Chen Xia first entered the hospital, both his parents had passed away and his family was extremely poor. It was also because of his unique vision that he chose this son-in-law at first sight, and then he trained him vigorously and took on countless responsibilities for him.
He traded a daughter who was incompetent and ate everything for a billionaire son-in-law. This was the proudest thing in his life.
This also ensures the future prosperity of the Gu family. Old people always think too much about their children. Now he is an old man with two grandchildren.
At that time, the aunt will take care of her nephew, which will be a matter of course.
