Zhou Yang's plan to develop lipid-lowering drugs quickly caused a sensation in the medical laboratory.
Compared with the current national conditions, lipid-lowering drugs are definitely a big joke in China.
Think about it, not many people in the country have enough to eat, and most people have very little body fat.
Although there are some people suffering from hyperlipidemia, the number is so small that there is no need to devote efforts to develop a new drug for them.
However, Zhou Yang is a bastard who takes the weight of the scale - he is determined!
He quickly summoned experts and researchers from the drug group to announce his decision and also formulated a detailed research and development plan.
The most important thing is that he will personally lead a team to develop this drug and vowed to produce results within a month.
Everyone, including Li Linzhang, was a little confused about his decision to say that wind is rain.
But they can only cooperate. There is no other way. Who makes Zhou Yang the favorite of the big guys in the Ministry of Health?
In this way, the research and development plan for lipid-lowering drugs was determined.
But just when everyone thought that Zhou Yang proposed such an unrealistic plan to develop new drugs because of Mr. Guo, Zhou Yang snickered from the sidelines.
Although he developed lipid-lowering drugs because of Mr. Guo, in fact, the more important reason was because of the Scythe Project. Mr. Guo was just a catalyst!
Even if there was no such thing as his sudden illness, Zhou Yang would most likely choose lipid-lowering drugs.
There are three reasons. First, the market for lipid-lowering drugs is huge, especially in Europe and the United States. Its market size is far larger than that of ordinary drugs.
This can be seen from Lipitor's performance after its launch. Since its launch, Lipitor's commercial achievements have amazed the industry.
In just two decades, Lipitor has brought a total of US$164.43 billion in revenue to Pfizer, the company behind it, and is currently the best-selling drug in history.
Although the emergence of Humira in 2014 broke the single-year sales record set by Lipitor, Lipitor is still the only drug in the world that has ranked first in global sales for ten consecutive years, becoming a global drug sales myth.
It is even regarded as an absolute symbol of the "golden age" of the world's pharmaceutical industry - when it comes to the "Lipitor Era", it means huge investments, multiple huge returns, and "blockbuster" discoveries on scientific coordinates. , gain both fame and fortune.
Secondly, this drug has good curative effect and few side effects. It is easy to promote and can quickly open the market.
The last point is that this kind of medicine is already being developed over there, and the results will be available soon.
If he can't develop this drug as soon as possible, it won't take long for the patent to be seized by others.
On the contrary, neither Humira nor Xiaolanpian'er, which Zhou Yang is optimistic about, are as tight on time as Lipitor.
Therefore, the development of Lipitor has become inevitable!
In terms of project research and development, Zhou Yang is absolutely "impatient".
Now that he has decided to establish the project, he will not hang around slowly, not to mention that Mr. Guo is still waiting to use this medicine.
Therefore, after letting Li Linzhang and others make some simple preparations, they led them into the laboratory.
...
However, while Zhou Yang was busy leading people to study lipid-lowering drugs, the temperature in the Saibei area suddenly made a joke on the people.
After a sudden heavy rain on the afternoon of May 2, the temperature dropped sharply overnight.
It was originally over ten degrees above zero the day before, so most people took off their thick cotton-padded clothes and put on thin clothes.
But early the next morning, people were surprised to find that there was ice ballast on the river channel on the creek side.
Moreover, I couldn’t even go out wearing thin clothes, and it felt like I was back to two months ago.
I thought it was just a coincidence, but the temperature never recovered for the next week.
Especially at night, the temperature drops even more significantly.
At this time, the production teams who had planted the seeds in advance were confused. Their crops had just emerged and could not withstand such low temperature freezing.
Although commune members in many places have also thought of some ways to save the small seedlings in the fields, such as setting up big fires around the fields at night.
But compared to the hundreds or thousands of acres of land for a production team, this amount of calories is just a drop in the bucket.
Soon there was news that all the new seedlings of a certain production team were frozen to death, and more than half of the new seedlings of a certain production team were frozen to death...
After receiving the news, the county was angry that the members of the production team were disobedient and brought it upon themselves, while at the same time they were amazed at Zhou Yang's ability to predict events.
You should know that people had anticipated this kind of thing last year, and even reminded them specifically.
Fortunately, the county did listen and made preparations in advance.
Otherwise, if we continue to farm according to the experience of previous years, the erratic temperatures in the past few days will be enough to push the people of the county into an abyss of eternal destruction.
Although some production teams have been affected by the disaster, compared with the more than 4,400 production teams in the county, the number is not large.
All in all, the losses are still within control.
Subsequently, the county responded immediately, first following what Zhou Yang said on the phone a few days ago, asking all disaster-stricken production teams to prepare for self-rescue.
The measures are nothing more than replanting or replanting. Replanting is to replenish the missing seedlings for those fields that have not been completely wiped out.
Replanting is aimed at fields that have been completely wiped out, that is, plowing the land again and then planting other crops.
At the same time, the county also severely punished those production team cadres who made arrogant opinions.
For a time, dozens or hundreds of production team captains and deputy captains were dismissed from their posts in the county, and many team captains or team party secretaries were even dismissed.
Although the impact was not large, it still caused quite a stir in Yunshan County.
However, these did not affect Zhou Yang in the laboratory. Although he also noticed these situations, he did not care.
After all, he is not the savior. He has done everything he can.
As for those who are disobedient, it can only be said that it is their own fault, and he can't control it.
What's more, the laboratory is really busy during this time.
In addition to Zhou Yang who was busy developing lipid-lowering drugs, Duan Yinzhong and others also made new breakthroughs. After more than ten days of continuous efforts, they finally isolated a completely different virus in Rattus norvegicus. strains.
This discovery once again made the entire laboratory boil!
So far, they have isolated two different virus strains from Apoderma agrarian and Rattus norvegicus, which shows that Zhou Yang's previous inference is correct.
In other words, there is more than one source of the virus that causes hemorrhagic fever. There may be house mouse types and wild mouse types, and there may even be mixed types.
But no matter what, there is finally another breakthrough here, which is a huge incentive for everyone in the medical laboratory.
Because of this, some people who originally complained about Zhou Yang's insistence on developing lipid-lowering drugs have wisely shut their mouths.
Respect the strong and obey the strong. This is an eternal truth.
It's just that different professions have different understandings of the strong. In the eyes of people engaged in scientific research, whoever's research results are more cutting-edge and advanced is the strong one.
Zhou Yang is undoubtedly an extremely strong person in this regard!
Under his guidance, the virus team took less than a month to break through decades of fruitless research by others. Who dares to question his ability and his decision?
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire medical laboratory was unprecedentedly harmonious and united.
At the same time, through the isolation of these two virus strains, Duan Yinzhong, Song Shi and others also gained a considerable understanding of the hemorrhagic fever strains.
Under such circumstances, the development of vaccines has naturally been put on the agenda!
