Chapter 252 Lupus Erythematosus
“Lemon water can lower uric acid!?”

When Fang Qian heard Lu Jiu's words, his eyes suddenly widened with disbelief on his face.

This thing is simply more outrageous than cane sugar.

Because if this thing is true, then lemon can completely replace uric acid-lowering drugs, and food has almost no side effects compared to drugs.

If this research is confirmed, it will be a devastating blow to uric acid-lowering drugs.

Far more influential than sucrose.

In analogy with diabetes, it is equivalent to a food that can replace the effect of metformin without any side effects.

There are more than 1 million diabetic patients in the country, and the interests of the drugs and the pharmaceutical companies behind them are probably in the billions or even tens of billions.

Although there are less than 8000 million gout patients, only more than [-] million, this data is definitely lagging behind.

Therefore, the value behind the research on whether lemon water can replace uric acid-lowering drugs is huge.

This will not only relieve many gout patients from financial pressure, but also make the country's medical insurance burden lighter.

Because conventional uric acid-lowering drugs are covered by national medical insurance.

In the past three years, the economy has been in recession, and many people's wages have dropped. All walks of life have been cutting back on expenditures. Even civil servants, who are iron rice bowls, have a tendency to cut their salaries.

National medical insurance is also struggling to support itself.

If this research is put on the agenda, it will be an absolute benefit to the country and the people!

As for the capital behind this.

Fang Qian just said, "Your worker grandfather is not named Zi."

"Lu Jiu, if you are sure, then we will start experimental research immediately, and I will apply to the dean!" Fang Qian said.

"Don't worry, I don't have to fool you, but this time, I hope our hospital can also participate." Lu Jiu said.

"Oh? That would be great. We can do a few more control group experiments. And I also really want to know how Chinese medicine treats the problem of uric acid. If Chinese medicine can also lower uric acid, even better than lemon, then this The content of this paper will be even richer." Fang Gandao.

"But there is a problem." Lu Jiu said.

"What's the problem?" Fang Qian asked.

"There are too few patients in our hospital, and there are even fewer gout patients. I'm afraid we can't do experiments." Lu Jiu said.

"What do I mean? This is simple. I will recommend some patients to our hospital. We will first select [-] patients. Thirty of us and thirty of you will agree to use lemon water to reduce uric acid in the second stage. Then use traditional Chinese medicine to lower uric acid. Of course, we don’t use it here, you use it here, and then compare the effects. Oh, by the way, your hospital has just been established, and it is estimated that there will not be enough manpower to devote to scientific research. I will lend you two people here, just for you We all know each other, one is named Tong Fei and the other is Wen Cheng." Fang Qian said.

"What about you?" Lu Jiu felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry about me. There are many people in the department. Besides, this research already needs more manpower. I will apply to the dean later, so don't worry about it." Fang Gan said with a smile.

As long as the paper can be completed smoothly, manpower is basically not a problem for the other party.

After the two discussed some details, they decided on the date of the trial. Later, Fang Gan would ask gout patients from the People's Hospital to Lu Jiu for treatment.

Lu Jiu also told all the doctors in the hospital about this news.

They also unanimously agreed.

Although they are still skeptical about whether lemon can reduce uric acid, they can be sure that they can use traditional Chinese medicine to reduce uric acid.

Of course, lowering uric acid is not strictly speaking the main direction of traditional Chinese medicine.

When treating gout patients, Chinese medicine basically removes evil spirits and restores the patient's own functions at the same time. It does not focus on the data of uric acid to make a fuss.

Many times, after the patient's own functions are restored, uric acid will naturally drop.

However, in other people's discourse system, their research can only develop in this direction, otherwise they will not even have the right to speak.As long as this joint scientific research paper can effectively prove that traditional Chinese medicine can lower uric acid without any side effects, that’s enough!

……

A week passed quickly, and Fang Gan also sent Wen Cheng and Tong Fei over, and at the same time, he also asked the thirty gout patients to Lujiu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Before that, they and their families also signed a contract agreeing to cooperate in scientific research.

Lu Jiu also started using lemon water to reduce uric acid for these [-] gout patients.

Of course, the specific work was not completed by Lu Jiu, but by Peng Yan, Sun Yuanwen and Zhang Xiaoyong.

The three of them were the first to know about this, and they were particularly curious about lemon water reducing uric acid, so they asked Lu Jiu to participate in this scientific research project.

The name of the paper does not need to mention them, but the experimental process must be experienced personally.

Wen Cheng and Tong Fei were here specifically to record data.

On the first day, thirty gout patients drank two glasses of water soaked in lime.

Wen Cheng and Tong Fei originally thought that even if something like lemon was really useful, they would have to wait ten days and a half to drink it.

As a result, after taking one cup in the morning and one cup in the afternoon, almost all of these gout patients had a [-] or [-]-point increase in their original values ​​when they took the test at [-] or [-] p.m.

This conclusion shocked the two of them!

It's not that the value of the reduction is high, but that the speed of reducing uric acid is too fast.

When this data was taken out, people who didn’t know it thought they were taking medicine.

However, a temporary decrease does not mean that it will decrease every day.

Generally speaking, the uric acid level of gout patients will be around [-] to [-], and it can be as high as [-] to [-], which is particularly outrageous.

If you take uric acid-lowering medication, your uric acid will be reduced to a normal value within two to four weeks.

If lemon water can reduce the uric acid in all gout patients to normal values ​​within a month.

Then the value of this experiment is too high!

It is almost foreseeable that it will be published in the Chinese Medical Journal again!
Because this research is more valuable than sucrose!

Wen Cheng and the two were also quite excited. They didn't expect that such a good thing could happen in their medical career.

If you can really participate in two consecutive papers that are published in the top domestic journals, then your future promotion path will basically be half stable.

In the next few days, Wen Cheng and the two continued to record the test data.

Almost every day, the uric acid levels of these patients are decreasing. Of course, the values ​​have also become smaller. Some are in the [-]s and [-]s, while others are in the [-]s and [-]s, but overall they are decreasing.

Lu Jiu didn't pay attention to these anymore. Anyway, the test results would take a month. During this period, Wen Cheng and Tong Fei only needed to record the data.

"Dr. Lu, oh, Dr. Lu, I finally found you. I haven't seen you for a few months. Why did you switch to such a big hospital? I even heard people say that you opened this hospital and now you are the director. ?”

When it was time to get off work, Lu Jiu was about to ride an electric donkey home. But as soon as he put on his helmet, someone rushed over to him.

It was Qiao Ling who had seen him before.

"Why are you looking for me? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Lu Jiu asked.

"Oh, it's not me, it's a friend of mine. She...she has lupus."

　The news is seriously overtime, and it’s another hard day of overtime work. The second update will be made up tomorrow! o(╥﹏╥)o
