Chapter 576: Do you want a market worth 0 billion?
It is no trivial matter that the microorganisms have been upgraded to level 3 in a row.
Chen Xiao, of course, is absolutely paying attention.
Chen Xiao has seen the power of the technology tree.
When the level of microorganisms was first, the technology product of combined colony appeared.
And it can completely treat severe lung diseases that have not been solved for thousands of years in human history.
Then the level of microorganisms is raised to level three.
What follow-up effects will there be?
What kind of technology products will there be?
Chen Xiao was looking forward to it.
Chen Xiao can even conclude.
Under special conditions, the combined colonies can secrete peptide hormones that are very similar to insulin, which may only be a superficial phenomenon.
There may be some more exciting principles in its deep level.
Chen Xiao arrived in Suzhou and Hangzhou that night.
Shu Rou and Gao Miao greet Chen Xiao at the airport.
Gao Miao also arrived a few days ago, and she is here to lead the preparation of the energy laboratory.
Hearing that Chen Xiao was coming today, she gave up the night to rest and came to pick up the plane with Shu Rou.
In the car, Shu Rou briefly reported the current situation about the combined colony and the patient.
Shu Rou said: "Master, the patient whose real name is Ding Kang has been three days since the operation. During the three days, we only replenished water and electrolytes for the first two days. No electrolytes were added, but his vitals were intact."
"We have sampled three combined colonies on the patient's body and cultured the colonies, and everything is normal so far."
Shu Rou, Qu Ping and Huang Ling, the three followed Chen Xiao before they graduated from the Xia Guo Academy of Sciences.
Therefore, it is customary to call Chen Xiao a master.
Chen Xiao didn't object. After going back and forth, everyone became accustomed to this name.
Chen Xiao nodded, but did not speak.
He was really tired at this time.
First, it was preparing for the listing of Yuedong Internet, and finally, I tried to find a way to raise funds for the listing of Yuedong Internet, and get Changtian Technology to use it for the research and development and production of chip equipment and chips.
Then he went to the Shanghai stock market non-stop to supervise the establishment of the 65nm lithography machine project by Yanjiang Semiconductor, and officially started the research and development and production of the lithography machine.
The work over there has not been arranged, and there is a new situation on Tianyue Island.
Therefore, for three or four months, Chen Xiao's spirit has been tense without the slightest relaxation.
The car was bumping on the road, and Chen Xiao fell asleep in the back seat, breathing evenly.
Shu Rou was still reporting to work, when she heard the boss's snoring, she chose to shut up very sensible, and then stuck out her tongue at Gao Miao in the rearview mirror.
Gao Miao smiled, and she looked at Chen Xiao beside her.
Seeing that even though Chen Xiao was asleep, his brows were still furrowed, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Xiang Chen Xiao was also at work on New Year's Day in 2006. There are still a few days before the Spring Festival, and he may not have time to return to his hometown in Jiangcheng.
Gao Miao took off his thick coat and put it over Chen Xiao.
Otherwise, there will be no air conditioning after getting off the bus for a while, and you may catch a cold if you are not careful.
Shu Rou couldn't help but said: "Sister Miao Miao, after Mr. Chen arranges to arrive at Tianyue Island for a while, he will immediately report the relevant information to him, and also hold a special meeting, you see..."
Gao Miao smiled helplessly and said, "Forget it tonight, and I'm not in a hurry. I'm a little worried that his body won't be able to carry it."
Shu Rou nodded and agreed with Gao Miao's suggestion.
Gao Miao is a veteran of Changtian Technology, and she is also a close friend of Chen Xiao, so her words still carry a lot of weight.
At 3 in the morning, everyone finally arrived at Tianyue Island.
Gao Miao asked Shu Rou and the others to go back to rest first. He asked his assistant to bring a quilt down, cover it for Chen Xiao, and let Chen Xiao rest.
She didn't wake Chen Xiao up. After all, it was this kind of sleep that was awakened, and it was difficult to fall asleep later.
After almost two hours, Chen Xiao finally woke up.
He asked dazedly, "Are you there yet?"
Gao Miao looked at Chen Xiao's dazed look, and couldn't help but say, "It's been two hours, so you slept comfortably in the car for two hours."
Chen Xiao smiled embarrassedly, but he was actually a little moved.
Whether it's Wang Xiang or Gao Miao, these are the veteran figures who share the joys and sorrows with him.
He is also the most trusted person by Chen Xiao.
Gao Miao said, "I made my own decision to let Shu Rou and the others go back first. Let's talk about the special meeting tomorrow. You can go back and rest early!"
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Listen to you, Sister Miao Miao!"
Gao Miao couldn't help but laugh.
After Gao Miao graduated, there was very little time for the two to be alone like this.
The last time we got along so late was when I was tinkering with lithium battery experiments in the laboratory.
Chen Xiao was also sleepy. After returning to the suite on the top floor of the headquarters, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, in the conference room of the intensive care center.
Qu Ping's team and Chen Xiao are in the conference room.
This meeting was very confidential because it involved microbial variants or evolution.
Qu Ping's team has carried out a systematic analysis of the combined colonies taken from Dingkang, even including the analysis of the DNA structure.
Finally, it was found that Rhodospirillum and Cyanobacteria have mutations in the gene labeled bd-t12.
It is precisely because of this mutation that the combined colonies can metabolize peptide hormones. This class of metabolites that are beneficial to the human body.
And it is precisely because of this gene mutation that the metabolism of peptide hormones will change according to the chemical conditions of human blood.
Qu Ping showed Chen Xiao the analysis results in the laboratory, and said incredulously, "I didn't expect this kind of result to happen."
"The timing and dosage of peptide hormones are accurate and comparable to pancreatic islets. If I didn't know about the combined colony, I would even suspect that the combined colony is a part of the human body, or even an organ or tissue of the human body."
Qu Ping added: "At present, our samples have been cultured, and a control group has been set up."
"The results of the culture found that this time the gene mutation was a relatively stable phenomenon."
"We place the colony in a human-like environment, and ensure that the blood sugar of the body fluid exchanged with the colony is stable, and the peptide chemicals can play some roles normally, and other mutations will not occur due to changes in the external environment."
"From this, we can infer that the genetic mutation of the combined colony this time should be a stable mutation."
"We have refrigerated some of the first-generation colonies, just in case."
Just in case, it means to prevent other mutations in future progeny colonies, which will lead to the disappearance of some functions of the existing colonies.
After Qu Ping finished her report, she waited for Chen Xiao's feedback.
After all, Chen Xiao is still at the third level of microorganisms, which is more sensitive than Qu Ping in terms of the sensitivity of some data and the principle of the experiment.
"If this type of colony can be stabilized, it will definitely be a good way to improve blood sugar levels in diabetic patients," Chen Xiao said.
"But at present, you have only tried it in a laboratory-grown environment, not in an actual animal or human environment."
"So, the relevant materials are not sufficient."
Chen Xiao flipped through the materials provided by Qu Ping and said, "But I just looked at the materials in detail, and there are a few things that can be noticed."
"The first is the metabolites of fungi, which can be completely absorbed by the human body and can ensure the normal vital signs of the human body."
"This shows that the metabolites of bacteria contain energy substances necessary for the human body, as well as electrolytes, as well as some other necessary elements."
"What is it, I hope the lab can do more analysis to figure out each compound type."
"If our inference today is correct, then congratulations, we may have opened a new field of biology!"
"First of all, the hundreds of millions of diabetic patients across the country may be able to receive the most fundamental treatment. They no longer need to take normal medicines after a simple meal, nor do they need to take insulin before meals or when blood sugar is unstable."
"This will greatly reduce the burden on people with diabetes."
"I asked my assistant to get a piece of data from the relevant department yesterday. This data may be able to give you some stimulation."
Chen Xiao smiled when he said this.
"At present, most of the diabetes hypoglycemic drugs in China are metformin, sulfonylureas, Glinide, etc., as well as some insulin injection drugs."
"Taking metformin as an example, the national sales reached more than 2 billion RMB, which was more than double that of the previous year."
"And it's the total sales after Medicare negotiated a massive reduction in drug prices."
"If you count other types of hypoglycemic drugs and insulin injections, the total value of the entire diabetes drug market should be tens of billions of dollars."
"This is only a market in the mainland of Xiaguo. In many overseas countries, the total annual sales of hypoglycemic drugs, insulin injections and other adjuvant therapeutic drugs should be more than 100 billion RMB."
But Qu Ping's people are quite excited, this is a very scary market.
And this market is sustainable and growing.
While doctors should be talking about saving lives, they shouldn't be talking about profit.
But the reality is that with the deterioration of the ecological environment and the improvement of the quality of life, the pressure on adults increases.
Many people, especially the elderly, will experience endocrine disorders, followed by insufficient insulin secretion and diabetes.
And now not only in Xia, in many countries around the world, diabetes is the fastest growing disease.
The annual growth rate is around 10%.
The growth in the number of patients also means, and also means, the growth of the overall drug market.
At present, in mainland Xiaguo, sugar control drugs are basically controlled by overseas pharmaceutical companies.
Almost all domestically difficult drugs are now imported drugs.
In Chen Xiao's memory, this kind of thing will get attention in about 10 years, and there will be domestic pharmaceutical companies one after another. Independent research and development or seek overseas patents to produce the corresponding drugs.
But according to the virtue of a western company, the royalties are definitely indispensable.
In addition, Western medical technology is 10 years ahead of China's.
After you develop the corresponding drugs on your side, western pharmaceutical companies will have more advanced hypoglycemic drugs, and continue to strategically target the global market with high prices.
This trick has been tried and tested repeatedly in the competition between Western technology companies and Xia Guo Company, and it has repeatedly licked your wool.
Therefore, the core technology must be in their own hands.
Only then can it be safe.
Chen Xiao immediately arranged for Qu Ping: "First, form a paper from the existing data and experimental data."
"Let's publish the paper first, and let's talk about occupying the high ground of the academic world!"
"The next animal experiments and clinical experiments are indispensable. I ask you to understand the principles."
In fact, what Chen Xiao cares about is not just the hundreds of billions of market.
It is the hundreds of millions of Xiaguo patients and the families behind the patients who are prone to diabetes and whose lives have been greatly affected.
If a family of three is counted.
That would be 300 to 600 million people.
If the combined colony can really cure diabetes completely, Chen Xiao will gain great influence.
These influences will help light up the technology tree and even help to conquer chip technology as soon as possible.
after the meeting.
Qu Ping's team got busy immediately.
Because of the experience of combined colony culture and experiment, this time the team is more comfortable doing the experiment.
Qu Ping himself quickly formulated a corresponding experimental plan. According to the industrial plan and experimental plan, the results of animal experiments are expected to be available within one month.
At the same time as the paper is published, if the animal experiments have good results, the team can immediately apply to the relevant national departments for clinical trials.
Chen Xiaozhe and Shu Rou visited the patient Ding Kang.
Chen Xiao was wearing a white coat and a mask.
So even walking around in the inpatient department you won't be recognized by anyone.
Ding Kang and his family members only regarded Chen Xiao as one of the doctors, without much thought.
They thought that Chen Xiao came to do house rounds on a daily basis.
The body has recovered more than half of the sky, and now he can not only speak but also walk in the ward.
What he thinks most now is when will he be able to go home.
So after seeing Chen Xiao, I started talking about this Chen Xiao:
"I've lived here for more than a week. Now I can eat, sleep, walk, and talk. Doctor, when can I go back?"
Chen Xiao suddenly asked coldly, "Have you eaten anything these days?"
It was only at this moment that Ding Kang thought that he didn't seem to have any hunger or hunger in the past few days.
So I don't want to eat at all.
There is also no desire to eat.
He also shook his head a little strangely and said, "I wonder about this, why don't I want to eat after the operation?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
But Chen Xiao suddenly realized a problem.
If Ding Kang can maintain his vital signs without eating for a few days after the operation, this kind of thing will be reported.
So will it have such an impact on Changtian Technology?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
Will Ding Kang be treated as a monster?
Will this series of treatment plans of Changtian Technology be accepted by the society?
Rather than passively accepting the torture of public opinion, it is better to directly publish some scientific research results.
That is, the paper must be published immediately.
But before that, Ding Kang had better stay in the intensive care center.
