Xueba’s medical black technology system

Chapter 224 Chinese Medicine?Western medicine?
Lu Liang did not pay too much attention to the news from the outside world, and he did not have time to pay attention to it.

He is currently busy preparing for animal experiments.

Now the drug samples of Pin1 inhibitors have been packaged and delivered by Tian Li by express delivery.

The drug molecular structure of Pin1 inhibitor is included in the reward of the temporary mission, and there is no need for Lu Liang to analyze it.

Lu Liang also handed over the synthesis of the drug to Tian Li early.

Then all that's left is mice.

As for mice, according to Lu Liang's plan, he needed a total of three batches of pancreatic cancer model mice with different genetic mutations for experiments.

All three mouse models are heterotopic transplantation models.

They are the LSL-KRas-G12D model; the LSL-tp53-R172H model; and the Pdx1-Cre model.

They also correspond to pancreatic cancers with KRAS gene mutations and tp53 mutations respectively.

Each model is divided into a control group and an experimental group.

In other words, there were six groups of mice in total.

There are 12 mice in each group, theoretically a total of 72 mice. However, considering that some mice will suddenly die suddenly and inexplicably, three mice are added to each group as backup.
Just as Lu Liang was thinking about the next test plan.

Wang Wentao pushed the door open and walked in, then picked up a bottle of water on the table and drank it down.

Lu Liang looked at Wang Wentao and asked, "Did you send the mice?"

Wang Wentao just went to meet with people from the biological company.

After drinking the water and taking a breath, Wang Wentao said: "The mice have been delivered, a total of 90 mice."

Wang Wentao took out an invoice from his pocket and placed it on Lu Liang's desk.

Lu Liang briefly checked the amount on the invoice. After confirming that there was no problem, Lu Liang opened the drawer of his desk. The drawer was already full of a stack of invoices.

These are all invoices from previous purchases of test consumables and the like. When the time comes, they will be reported together.

After Lu Liang collected the invoice, he called Wang Wentao: "Let's go out for a meal. After the meal, we will go to the mouse room in the afternoon to group the mice."

As soon as he heard about food, Wang Wentao suddenly became excited: "Where to eat."

Lu Liang thought for a moment: "Isn't there a steamed vegetable restaurant? Let's go and eat steamed vegetables."

The two of them each scanned a bicycle on the roadside, and then rode their bicycles towards the steamed vegetable restaurant outside the school.

I have to say that riding a bicycle in the winter is really a torture. The cold wind is like a knife, scratching his face hard, making Lu Liang's teeth tremble.

I must take the driver's license test next year and then buy a car. I can't suffer this old sin anymore, Lu Liangliang thought.

Before winter, Lu Liang still thought it was troublesome and didn't think about buying a car.

But now in this situation, I have to buy a car. Even if it is an old man, it is better than riding a bicycle.

Less than 10 minutes away, Lu Liang experienced the torture of rolling down a mountain of knives.

After entering the steamed vegetable restaurant, Lu Liang was slightly relieved by the warm breeze. After ordering two dishes respectively, they found a seat to sit down.

"Wang Wentao, come over and eat steamed vegetables too!"

Just as Lu Liang and Wang Wentao sat down, a voice suddenly came from behind Wang Wentao. Lu Liang looked up and found a young man wearing glasses.

Wang Wentao introduced to Lu Liang: "Huang Wei, who is in the same class as mine, is a student of Teacher Gao and majors in traditional Chinese medicine research."

Then Wang Wentao introduced Huang Wei: "My senior brother, Lu Liang."

"God Lu, I have admired you for a long time." Huang Wei's eyes lit up and he quickly stretched out his hand.

Lu Liang was a little dumbfounded: "It's not necessary to have a meal."

Huang Wei shook his head: "That's not okay. When I listened to those things about you in school, my ears almost became calloused."

After shaking hands, Lu Liang said: "You're here, just sit here and have a meal together. I'll treat you."

Huang Wei hesitated for a moment: "Then I'm not welcome."

Soon, the dishes in the steamed restaurant were all steamed in advance, so the dishes were served very quickly. Within a few minutes, all the dishes such as braised fish, eggplant and beans were served.The three of them also chatted while eating, and soon the topic turned from daily life to Huang Wei's research direction, traditional Chinese medicine.

Huang Wei said: "Speaking of which, I really envy you, you are not like me."

Lu Liang looked up at Huang Wei and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with Chinese medicine?"

Huang Wei sighed and said: "Of course it's not good. Traditional Chinese medicine is all traditional medicine and of no use. It's not like you guys who study Western medicine and study various advanced medicines."

After hearing this, Lu Liang paused for a moment, thought for a while and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Huang Wei frowned slightly: "Is there something wrong?"

"It's definitely not right."

Lu Liang replied: "To give you the simplest example, you know aspirin."

Aspirin, a common drug used for pain relief and antipyretic treatment.

Huang Wei nodded: "Of course I know this, it's about Western medicine."

Lu Liang continued: "What is the ingredient of aspirin? Acetylsalicylic acid!"

Huang Wei frowned slightly: "So?"

Lu Liang smiled slightly: "Is there a medicinal material called willow bark in your traditional Chinese medicine?"

Huang Wei nodded and replied: "Yes, willow bark can relieve pain, reduce inflammation, clear away heat and promote fluid production, but what does this have to do with acetylsalicylic acid?"

Lu Liang spread his hands and said, "There is salicylic acid in willow bark."

There are countless examples of this.

Protocatechuic acid, resveratrol, and catechol are not closely related to traditional Chinese medicine.

But in fact, these are some natural compounds that are widely found in various traditional Chinese medicines. These natural ingredients have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Among them, including Teacher Tu’s artemisinin!

Artemisinin is also a natural ingredient extracted from the stems and leaves of Artemisia annua in traditional Chinese medicine, rather than chemical synthesis.

This is the most powerful proof!
As for why some people think Chinese medicine is useless, the reason is very simple.

Because Chinese medicine seems too metaphysical and has no scientific basis.

Various miscellaneous plants are put together and then boiled together. After drinking, certain diseases can be cured.

In fact, this is the use of some natural ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine.

Even the method of boiling is called water extraction from the perspective of modern medicine.

It's just that the ancestors didn't have any advanced tools at the time. They didn't know what exactly worked in this plant and how it worked?
They only know that this plant can treat certain diseases and can be relieved by boiling it in water and drinking it.

The only thing they could do was to summarize and put them together, thus forming traditional Chinese medicine.

Of course, some of these drugs are wrong.

But it is undeniable that there are still many effective drugs among them!

If you completely deny it because of some mistakes, what is the difference between you and a fool?

Of course, part of the reason is that some people are deceiving people in the name of traditional Chinese medicine.

After all, there is no threshold required to cheat with traditional Chinese medicine, and it is not without risks. Anyway, it will not kill anyone.

Lu Liang said calmly: "The current research direction of traditional Chinese medicine is often the extraction and experimentation of natural ingredients, looking for natural ingredients that can work in traditional Chinese medicine.

In a sense, there is no distinction between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine, it can be divided into one field, that is, modern medicine. "

Huang Wei thought for a moment: "No wonder my instructor calls me to measure plant components every day, which makes my scalp numb."

Listening to Huang Wei's complaints, Lu Liang and Wang Wentao also burst into laughter.
