Eagle Country, Mayo Clinic.
In this hospital, which has long been ranked No. 1 in the world, all the neurology experts are gathered together at this moment.
Looking at the case data of each AD patient in my hand, I was all surprised and admired.
"Amazing, this drug is so amazing and the effect is so remarkable."
"All mild patients, after taking the medicine for two to four weeks, the amyloid deposits in their brains are completely eliminated, and their cognitive and memory functions return to normal, and they can be considered cured."
"80% of moderate patients, after taking the medicine for one month, saw a significant reduction in amyloid deposition in the brain, and their condition was greatly relieved. Their cognitive and memory functions, as well as their ability to take care of themselves, are all recovering significantly. It is expected that more patients will If you take it for one to two months depending on the individual situation, you will be fully recovered.”
"As for severe patients, the amyloid deposition in the brain has been suppressed, their ability to take care of themselves has been significantly improved, and their cognitive abilities have recovered. The patient is much better than before and can respond to some extent. The follow-up situation will be more Take the medicine again and observe further.”
"In short, the treatment of mild to moderate patients is indeed remarkable to the naked eye. As expected of Sanqing, it is as miraculous as anti-cancer drugs. Only severe patients may not be completely cured due to the severe atrophy of their cranial nerves. They can only try their best." improve."
"Even so, the preventive and inhibitory effects on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease are unparalleled. This proves that the efforts of the medical community in this direction for many years are correct. If we continue to conduct in-depth research, we will definitely be able to find A drug that restores brain nerve cells and completely cures patients with severe AD."
"It is really a drug that leads the innovation of the pharmaceutical industry. I really can't believe that this is an achievement made by an Eastern pharmaceutical company."
The shocked expressions on the faces of the attendees were tinged with confusion.
As they said, the Western medical community has been working hard in this direction for twenty years, but in the end it was Chinese pharmaceutical companies that made the achievement. Why don't they feel complicated and have mixed feelings?
After everyone dispersed, the director of the department hurriedly came to a luxurious ward with a medical case.
An old woman over sixty years old was half-lying on the hospital bed. She was chatting with an older man next to her. The two of them spoke in a relaxed tone and looked cheerful. They were obviously in a good mood.
"Mr. Butler, your daughter's latest examination report has come out. She is recovering very well and is no different from a normal person. She can be discharged from the hospital at any time. However, she needs to have regular examinations in the future to prevent recurrence."
With a smile on his face, the director reported the latest progress of his condition.
Butler is the boss of the largest investment company in Financial Street. He is known as a stock god and a financial blocker. He is already in his nineties and is fine. However, his daughter was found to have Alzheimer's disease just after she turned sixty.
Fortunately, the disease has just progressed to the early stages and has been properly controlled. Now, after taking Sanqing's special medicine, I have completely recovered.
Both of their faces burst into smiles at the same time. Butler looked at his daughter, his eyes full of doting, then nodded and sighed: "This is the best news this year. My poor daughter can finally get rid of the torture of illness. .”
"Bill is right, what's more important to us than the health of our families? This is really the right decision."
"It seems that I will invest more in medical treatment and health like him in the future. For an old man like me, who has been suffering from illness for a long time, only health is the most valuable investment."
Butler suffered from prostate cancer ten years ago. Because it was discovered early, he quickly recovered completely through surgery. He also experienced his daughter’s incident, so he has a deep understanding of health.
The same scene happened in other top hospitals around the world.
Neurosurgery experts from around the world have published articles, shocked by the remarkable efficacy of Sanqing special medicine, lamenting the rapid progress of the medical industry. Finally, most of the major problems that have plagued the world for 20 years have been solved, and Alzheimer's disease is finally no longer a terminal disease. .
At this time, Bayer headquarters.
All the laboratory R&D leaders gathered together and there was a lot of discussion.
"After we got the sample of Sanqing, a special medicine, and after a month of testing by dozens of experts, we still couldn't completely decipher its drug molecules."
"Drug raw materials, reaction processes, etc., only a small part has been studied."
"What if I give you enough time?"
"It's difficult, but it's not impossible. However, the other party has registered relevant patents internationally, and the patent period of the drug is as long as 20 years. The path of generic drugs is unavailable, and the only way is improved new drugs. road."
"If we learn from Sanqing's technology and drug molecules and launch our own new drugs, it will take a long time. During this period, Sanqing may launch second-generation new drugs by itself. Maybe we have advantages in marketing and price. It’s gone.”
"No matter what, we still need to study the technology and molecular structure of this drug in depth, which will be of great help to us in continuing to develop new drugs."
"That's it. The research direction of Alzheimer's disease needs to be changed. The direction of γ-secretase has been occupied by Sanqing, but it also proves that the protein precipitation hypothesis is tenable. Let's change the direction and continue to work hard."
Bayer's board of directors made a quick decision.
The same thing has happened to pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Roche, and Novartis.
Some of them have completely suspended the research and development of specific drugs for Alzheimer's disease, while others have changed directions and continued research.
After all, the market in this field is too big, so how can other pharmaceutical companies be willing to withdraw completely and give up the market?
Now Sanqing's achievements have proved that the general direction is correct. They only need to change branches, bypass Sanqing's patent barriers, and then learn from each other's technology to make breakthroughs in other branches, and they can also get a share of the massive market. .

Eastern Eagle Country, a clinical research institution.
Amy got good news from an agency researcher.
She obtained a clinical trial quota for Sanqing AD specific drug.
This made her very excited, because when she was organizing a petition some time ago, she suddenly fell ill. After examination, CT and MRI images showed atrophy of the middle temporal gyrus, and blood tests showed related protein abnormalities. All of this showed that her genetics Alzheimer's disease has arrived early.
Fortunately, the overseas clinical trials of Sanqing AD's specific drug had already begun. She was immediately very happy that she had finally caught up with the good times. She did not have to be like her mother and grandmother, who were helpless in the face of this terminal illness, and could only choose to understand it as soon as possible. , escape from the sea of suffering.
Other fees at top hospitals were too expensive, so she chose a clinical research institution in a nearby city and quickly applied for a free trial.
Since the onset of the disease was very early, the condition was significantly suppressed not long after taking the medicine, and all indicators returned to normal soon.
As long as the drug is on the market, you can continue to take the drug to maintain your current health status.
This made her extremely concerned about the market price of Sanqing's special medicine.
You must know that Bogen's related treatment drugs are notoriously expensive. The annual treatment cost is as high as 30,000 US dollars, which is a huge sum of money that she cannot afford.
Eagle Country also has medical insurance, which is divided into three types: commercial medical insurance, government elderly medical insurance, and medical assistance for low-income people.
The beneficiaries of the elderly medical insurance are citizens over the age of 65, which is a good thing for most Alzheimer’s patients. Medical assistance generally comes from charities or government grants.
Data shows that about one-third of the people in Eagle Country have medical insurance provided by the government. Excluding 9% of those without medical insurance, most of the remaining people obtain medical insurance through commercial medical insurance companies.
Working people are insured by their employers. The average monthly premium for a single employee is $599 (the employee pays $103 and the rest is paid by the employer), while the monthly premium for an employee's family is $1,715 (the employee pays $501 and the rest is paid by the employer).
Others need to buy their own medical insurance. They can buy it directly from the insurance company, or they can choose the medical insurance plan that suits them through the government website.
Generally speaking, the quality of insurance mainly depends on the amount insured. The higher the premium, the better the insurance.
Amy is a freelancer. She used to buy the cheapest commercial medical insurance, which cost more than two hundred dollars a month. Now, Sanqing special medicine has rekindled her passion for life, and she plans to find another job. , if you are lucky, you can get a better medical insurance.
She walked out of the clinical facility, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and felt the warmth of the sun on her skin.
The haze caused by the disease has disappeared, and her heart is full of expectations for the future.
"Thank God I can finally live."
"Hopefully, by then, I can afford to take this drug every year."
So she thought.
