I Have A Super USB Drive

"Alzheimer's?"

Looking at the message sent by Wang Wei, Chen Chen couldn't help recalling the old man with a hearty smile who was accustomed to drinking tea with a beaker and was always running the train in class.

Professor Wang Xi is a senior academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has a great reputation in academia, but after the age of 65, he had no choice but to withdraw from the front line of scientific research due to physical reasons.

I just didn't expect that the humorous professor on the podium, the top scientist who is enough to lead biology, would have this common disease...

Chen Chen sighed secretly, then raised his head and said, "Xiao X, check with me Professor Wang Xi of the Zhongzhou District Shangdu Jiaotong University. I want to know everything about him now."

"receive!"

Xiao X's voice immediately came from the stereo, and then Chen Chen's computer was automatically turned on, and the computer screen flashed like a flower.

Windows popped up and closed, but within half a minute, a detailed information appeared on the computer screen.

"Department of Neurology, Central Hospital Affiliated to Shangdu Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Alzheimer's Disease."

Seeing this line of words, Chen Chen already understood that what Wang Wei judged was true.

Recalling the help that Professor Wang Xi gave him at this time last year, Chen Chen immediately made a decision in his heart.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen gently stroked his left hand. On the index finger of his left hand, there was a thick brass ring.

As Chen Chen flicked the ring lightly, it seemed that he had touched some mechanism, and the face of the ring bounced off, revealing a few transparent pills inside.

Chen Chen took out a pill and swallowed it gently, then closed his eyes gently and entered a relaxed state.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

call!

The familiar feeling of being in control of everything in the world quickly returned, Chen Chen suddenly opened his eyes and began to recall all the information about Alzheimer's disease.

The so-called Alzheimer's disease is the so-called Alzheimer's disease in Zhongzhou District, which is a neurodegenerative disease of the brain that may occur after reaching a certain age.

This disease does not seem to be fatal, and it is accustomed to it because there are too many examples around it, but many people do not know that it is actually the second largest killer of human lifespan after cancer.

There are many causes of Alzheimer's disease. The most obvious factor is age. From the age of 50, the incidence rate increases significantly with age. When people reach the age of 80, the incidence rate is even higher. two over five.

As for age, there are too many factors, such as genetics, mental illness, head trauma, and even widowed, living alone, financial difficulties, life bumps and other external factors may become one of the incentives for Alzheimer's disease.

Emmmm…

In other words, the academic community has not even found the cause of Alzheimer's disease so far.

The medical community has always believed that "Aβ deposition" and "abnormal phosphorylation of Tau protein" are the main culprits of Alzheimer's disease, but with the development of some drugs, these arguments have long been questioned by the academic community.

It is now more recognized by the medical community that "Aβ deposition" and "abnormal phosphorylation of Tau protein" are only manifestations of Alzheimer's disease, but not the root cause.

The so-called Aβ deposition refers to the deposition of β-amyloid protein, which belongs to a kind of intracellular lesions, which can lead to mitochondrial damage and even cause apoptosis and other fatal diseases.

This deposition phenomenon first appeared in the cerebral cortex, and as the disease became more severe, it spread to the depths of the brain, until it destroyed the human brain.

Among the six internationally recognized effective therapeutic drugs,

Except for an NMDA receptor antagonist, the others are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

To put it simply, all the drugs in the advanced world can only slightly slow down the disease, allowing patients to live a few more years, and they are useless.

I heard that a drug targeting Alzheimer's disease has also been launched in the Central Continent recently. medicine.

Emmmm…

This is not to be discussed.

At present, Alzheimer's disease is still irreversible, even with medication, because the cause of the disease is the death of a large number of brain nerve cells.

In the later stage, the patient's brain has completely shrunk, and even consciousness no longer exists. In Chen Chen's view, without consciousness, even if this person is still alive, what is the difference between being dead?

Therefore, if you want to save Professor Wang Xi, you can't delay it any longer.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen quickly got up and walked towards the main power control room. At the same time, he ordered, "Xiao X, download the first episode of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" for me."

Afterwards, Chen Chen walked out of the office door and entered the elevator.

If you want to treat Professor Wang Xi, you have three methods:

One, and the easiest way, is to use a U disk to ingest the data of the drug ALZ-112 in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

ALZ-112 is a virus with a specific gene that can regeneratively repair neural circuits by infecting the brain.

Unlike the later ALZ-113, ALZ-112 is not contagious, and there will be no virus extinction in the movie.

The disadvantage is that ALZ-112 only temporarily treats Alzheimer's disease, but cannot cure it.

However, Chen Chen's expectations for the first method were not high, because the USB flash drive could not extract any life, and the virus was also a kind of life, so he could only extract the data of ALZ-112.

However, the scene of the data only appears for a moment in the movie, and the completeness of the data cannot be guaranteed.

2. If the first method fails, Chen Chen can try to make a movie about Alzheimer's disease, and extract the drugs from his own movie, and solve the problem through this almost cheating method.

This is also a new attempt of Chen Chen to the function of U disk.

Of course, the chance of success was extremely close to zero in Chen Chen's view.

Because if this method can really succeed, then Chen Chen can make an energy movie and set up a prop like the ZPM in "Stargate" at will, wouldn't he have endless energy?

In this way, the law of conservation of mass and energy is broken.

However, while understanding that the probability of this happening is basically zero, it is worth trying.

While trying the second method, Chen Chen will also simultaneously conduct the third method—active research.

After all, Chen Chen has the trump card of NZT-48. Previous experiments have shown that NZT-48 has a certain curative effect on Alzheimer's disease. If it is not possible, Chen Chen can make a breakthrough in this area, and supplement it with neural stem cell therapy.

The human body does have the ability to regenerate nerve cells in the brain, but this ability will decrease with development. When a human becomes an adult, the damage to the central nervous system will not regenerate and repair.

One of the reasons is the lack of necessary cytokine stimulation, and the other is the steric hindrance effect caused by the location of the dead cells being filled by other cells after being degraded.

This is the root cause of the irreversible Alzheimer's disease.

However, neural stem cells can break this rule.
