The medical black technology system of the top student

Zhou Jun is a graduate student majoring in pharmacy at Luda University.

One of his usual hobbies is editing videos. He will post the edited videos on Xiaopo.com, and the content of the videos is mainly about popular science about drugs and diseases.

Because of its hard-core video content and witty explanations, it has attracted a lot of fans on Xiaopo.com.

This also made him one of the top 100 UP masters in the popular science area.

On this day, Zhou Jun was bored and searching for suitable materials on the Internet as usual.

The roommate next to him saw this and asked with a smile: "Lao Zhou, you work so hard, you finally don't go out to play during the weekend, and you edit videos here?"

Zhou Jun sighed and said, "It would be great if there were video clips, but the material hasn't been found yet."

My roommate was a little puzzled: "There are so many kinds of medicines and diseases now, why are you worried about not having any materials?"

Zhou Jun shook his head: "It can't be that simple. I can't find some rare diseases. Talking about such diseases is boring, and the audience doesn't like to watch them, so the number of views will not increase."

"If you want a video to have a high number of views, it must be about diseases that everyone is concerned about, such as cancer, or diseases with fever."

After listening to Zhou Jun's words, the roommate's face showed a look of surprise, and then the roommate asked: "Do you know about the drug for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia that made a lot of noise some time ago?"

"Baishuke? I've already done it in the last video, and the number of views was pretty good."

But the roommate shook his head: "No, I mean the inventor of Bai Shuke, the sophomore medicine student. Didn't you pay attention to him?"

"Why should I pay attention to him? I am not 0."

When he said this, Zhou Jun paused and said with a smile: "Why, could it be that he has made some big move recently and invented some new medicine?"

Zhou Jun's words were obviously a joke. He is also a pharmacy major. He is well aware of the difficulty of researching an innovative drug and the length of the research and development cycle.

Only a few months have passed since the incident of the online article. Is it possible that the other party can develop a new drug in such a short period of time?

Zhou Jun admitted that the other party was a genius, but in such a short time, even a genius might not be able to find ideas for the development of new drugs, let alone develop new drugs.

Therefore, no matter how talented the other party was, Zhou Jun did not believe that the other party could develop a new drug in such a short period of time.

"If he could come up with a new drug in such a short period of time, I would tear up my fucking undergraduate diploma right on the spot." Zhou Jun said very confidently.

But soon, Zhou Jun noticed something was wrong, because he found that after he said these words, his roommate looked at him strangely.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Jun asked with some confusion.

"Lao Zhou, you haven't read much literature recently, have you?" said the roommate.

Zhou Jun became even more confused: "How do you know."

The roommate shook his head: "Because, if you had read the literature recently, you wouldn't have said this."

Zhou Jun's heart suddenly "thumped", and a strong premonition came to his heart.

The roommate continued: "The sophomore medicine student has published another paper on a brand-new drug molecule for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is now open for review in the New England Journal of Medicine."

Although the roommate's voice was not loud, every word was like a huge bomb exploding in Zhou Jun's ears, making Zhou Jun's head buzz.

Brand new drug molecule for type 2 diabetes?

Zhou Jun's eyes widened. These two terms were like meteor collisions, setting off a storm in Zhou Jun's mind. Zhou Jun still didn't come back to his senses, and his face was filled with disbelief.

After seeing Zhou Jun's expression, the roommate seemed very satisfied. After all, he had the same reaction when he saw the news.

At this time, Zhou Jun finally came to his senses. He quickly turned on his computer and started browsing the Internet for the new study that was being publicly reviewed in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Two minutes later, an exclamation came from the graduate student dormitory of Lu University.

"Fuck!"

Half an hour passed, and Zhou Jun still sat motionless in front of the computer. The look of shock on his face did not dissipate for a long time. On the contrary, the disbelief at the beginning turned into admiration, and even the hand holding the mouse was full of admiration. Started to tremble slightly.

During this half hour, Zhou Jun read this paper over and over again.

Precisely because he majored in pharmacy, he knew the real power of this research.

"A brand new drug molecule, and more importantly, a brand new therapeutic mechanism!"

Zhou Jun murmured in a low voice, he was completely addicted to this article.

The therapeutic mechanism of liraglutide, a drug for treating type 2 diabetes, is that its molecular structure is similar to GLP-1, which can promote the secretion of insulin in the body. By increasing insulin levels, it promotes cells to absorb glucose in the blood, thereby reducing blood glucose levels. Blood sugar levels.

Simply put, liraglutide is like a foreman and insulin is like a worker.

Insulin's daily job is to stuff glucose from the blood into the cellular machinery.

And with type 2 diabetes, now because the cells are damaged, an insulin can't put glucose into the cells.

Seeing that the work could not be completed, Liraglutide, a foreman, took action and brought over another insulin.

If one person can't get the job done, two people can do it.

The description of "powerful flying bricks" is perfect.

But the mechanism of action of this new drug is completely different. The new drug is more like an engineer.

The cells were damaged, and as an engineer, the new drug took action. He repaired the cells and restored their functions.

Let an insulin still do the job easily.

These are two completely different treatment mechanisms.

“Is this the new drug metformin?!”

Zhou Jun's eyes were fixed on the name of the drug on the screen: "How on earth did he, a sophomore, do it?"

"Genius' ideas cannot be measured by ordinary people. Lao Zhou, don't think about it. It will burn out your brain. We can just worship such people."

The roommate patted Zhou Jun on the shoulder, as if he had looked away.

After Zhou Jun was silent for a moment, he quickly opened the PR video editing software.

The roommate smiled and said: "Although this is a brand-new drug molecule, it is still in the public review stage. If it is made into a video now, I am afraid it will be controversial."

Zhou Jun shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm not going to do science popularization about a certain disease or medicine, what I'm going to do is an interview!"

The roommate was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses: "You mean, you are going to interview this student from the Pharmaceutical University?"

Zhou Jun grinned: "Don't you think this is interesting?"
