"By the way, it's been almost a year. I must have accumulated a lot of points. It's time for me to go shopping in the system mall."
After Wei Kang read the financial report, he suddenly remembered something and immediately became excited.
He couldn't wait to open the system panel to see how many points he had.
A prompt quickly jumped out and flashed slowly.
Host: Wei Kang
Points: 13520062
"Haha, there are so many points. I guess I saved them from selling medicines and equipment this year. I guess I can exchange them for a lot of good things."
Wei Kang glanced at the points, nodded happily, and immediately opened the system mall.
A curtain of light appeared in front of him, with colorful pictures and brief introductions appearing on it.
"I have more points this time, so I think I can buy as much as I can."
Wei Kang was secretly happy, and he gently slid down and turned directly to the third page.
"I originally wanted to change to a surgical robot last time, but it ended up costing 50 million points. Looking at the others this time, it's impossible for everything on this page to cost 50 million points."
"Artificial heart, artificial nervous system, biochip, surgical robot, bionic prosthetic limbs, nanorobots, advanced medical cabin..."
"Well, let's try it from the first one."
He carefully clicked on "Artificial Heart", and a pop-up window immediately popped up.
"10 million points redemption, please confirm!"
"Okay, okay, it's not too expensive, at least it's not as out of reach as fifty million!"
Wei Kang thought thoughtfully and canceled the points redemption.
Now he figured it out.
The equipment on the first page is all one hundred thousand points, the equipment on the first half page is one hundred thousand points, and the equipment on the second half page is one five hundred thousand points.
Everything on the second page requires one million points, with one million points on the front and five million points on the back.
As for the third page, it is obvious that they are all in the 10 million level, with 10 million and 50 million points divided equally.
It seems very reasonable. After all, they are arranged according to technical content, and the prices must be different.
"Don't even think about 50 million for now. I have a lot of points this time, so I have to exchange them for equipment worth 10 million."
"Although artificial organs are expensive and short-lasting, they are awesome and have high technical content. They may also be helpful in the development of autologous cloned organs."
Wei Kang pondered for a moment and made up his mind instantly.
"Otherwise, just this artificial heart."
"But other artificial organs look very attractive, and they are also cheap. They are all on the second page. It is estimated that only five million points or ten million can be exchanged for a liver and a kidney."
Thinking of this, he began to hesitate again.
"However, organs such as the liver and kidneys are not as unique as the heart."
"The human liver can still regenerate after a small part is cut off. There are two kidneys. Even if there is a lung problem, you can survive on a ventilator for a long time."
"There is only a heart. Once it stops beating, the person is really dead."
"Hey, the temptation of the artificial heart is too great, and I really can't bear it."
"This is the most complex and sophisticated medical device. It has always been known as the 'jewel in the crown of medical devices'. Every leap forward is a huge scientific innovation."
"So, let's choose an artificial heart."
Wei Kang slowly stretched out his hand and tapped it again.
"10 million points redemption, please confirm!"
"Confirm exchange!"
After he clicked on the screen, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain in his heart as he watched the ten million points disappear.
"Hey, my points!"
"Saving money is like picking dirt with a needle, and losing money is like water pushing away sand!"
"It would be great if I could keep all the 100 million points I spent to upgrade the system and redeem them. It would be absolutely wonderful."
Wei Kang sighed secretly, moved his fingers upward, and turned his attention to the second page.
After browsing for a while, he selected three items that he liked last time but gave up because of insufficient points.
"Ultrasound scalpel, bionic blood vessels, bionic painless syringes."
"Just these three."
"Ultrasonic scalpels are also available in reality, but the system provides higher accuracy, stronger controllability, and can achieve cell-level accuracy."
"If the technology here is thoroughly studied, can it also be used in endoscopes?"
"Bionic blood vessels are made of new biomaterials and are made of layers of nanoscale protein fibers. They are very similar to real blood vessels and will not cause rejection at all after transplantation."
"Nano-scale protein molecules are very high-tech. Maybe they can be used to make nanorobots?"
"The bionic painless syringe is modified from the mouthparts of mosquitoes. It can suck blood and inject drugs painlessly. It can be used to modify insulin pens."
"This thing is very fun. Let's try another one. When I was a child, I was most afraid of injections. It would be great if there was something like this."
Wei Kang clicked on the light screen and quickly replaced all three.
"Okay, the points are all spent again."
After the settlement was completed, he returned to the system panel and looked at his points that were almost zero. He instantly felt empty in his heart and had a strong sense of loss.
"We still have to develop new drugs and medical equipment and make them available to as many patients as possible, so that we can get more points and redeem them for better prizes, forming a positive cycle."
"The remaining 500,000 points should be used to extract medicines."
Wei Kang silently turned on the computer and began to look for discarded prescriptions suitable for extraction.
Since it had been a while since the last withdrawal, he still had quite a lot of inventory.
However, points are limited and can only be withdrawn five times.
Therefore, Wei Kang cherished this opportunity to extract it. After searching carefully for a while, he found five side effects that made him very excited.
"A hypoglycemic drug has a side effect of increasing the glomerular filtration rate. This is outrageous. It is a disaster for diabetic patients. No wonder it has been abolished."
"Patients with diabetes already have a high glomerular filtration rate. If it is strengthened, wouldn't they still think that the kidney damage is not fast enough?"
"However, it can be extracted and made into medicines for the treatment of chronic nephritis. The glomerular filtration rate of patients with chronic nephritis is constantly decreasing. If it falls below 15ml/min, it is uremia. If it can be enhanced, it will be the right medicine."
The side effects of drugs are like this. For patient A, they are like honey, and for patient B, they are arsenic.
A drug cannot contain only active drug molecules, but also many impurities, which cause side effects.
Fortunately, Wei Kang has the golden finger to extract side effects, so he can turn waste into treasure and make the best use of everything.
"A drug that treats autoimmune inflammation has the side effect of increasing antioxidant enzymes. It's so good that it can be extracted and made into antioxidant drugs."
Reactive oxygen species are important products of normal aerobic metabolism and affect cell functions by regulating intracellular metabolites and signal transduction pathways. Under normal circumstances, the production and clearance of reactive oxygen species maintain a dynamic balance and are maintained at low levels necessary for cell function.
However, as the human body ages, the mechanism for maintaining cellular homeostasis is gradually damaged, resulting in excessive production of reactive oxygen species, damage to the cellular antioxidant mechanism, loss of cell membrane integrity, changes in protein structure and function, and damage to nucleic acids.
In turn, the accumulation of this oxidative damage can cause cell senescence, further accelerating the production of reactive oxygen species, forming a vicious cycle.
Antioxidant enzymes can neutralize excessive reactive oxygen species in the human body, effectively eliminate oxygen free radicals produced by cells during metabolism, and delay the aging process.
Of course, too high antioxidant enzymes can also trigger immune stress in the human body and lead to inflammatory reactions.
Therefore, such drugs are not suitable for healthy young people, but are more suitable for people who have begun to age and have too much reactive oxygen species in their bodies.
Wei Kang is very optimistic about the prospects of this drug. You must know that the concept of antioxidant is very hot in the field of health care products.
Vitamin C, L-carnitine, taurine, etc. are all advertised everywhere in the name of antioxidants.
Don't ask whether it has any effect. The question is that basic research shows this, but clinical research is inconclusive.
"A side effect that dilates the airways could be extracted and made into an asthma drug."
"A side effect of inhibiting glucosidase, which can be extracted to make hypoglycemic drugs."
"A side effect that causes a rapid decrease in white blood cells can be extracted and made into anti-inflammatory drugs."
"Okay, just these five kinds."
Weikang clicks "Extract Side Effects" to extract them one by one.
After counting the harvest, he closed the system panel with satisfaction.
