Chapter 456 ALS

After Su Zhe took a bath, Xiaohui and Xiaobaihu were still entangled and did not separate, but they remained motionless.

When Su Zhe walked over to take a look, he realized that the two little guys had fallen asleep.

Seeing such a scene, Su Zhe couldn't help laughing, and then he carefully separated them, and then carried them back to the nest to sleep.

After returning to the room, Su Zhe turned on the computer and saw a piece of news.

In this news, there is a selfie video of a patient. This video tells the process of this patient volunteering to participate in a new drug.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am a patient who suffers from a disease of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS. I have had a medical history for 3 years." In the video, the patient is lying on a hospital bed On the surface, his speech speed is a bit slow, and it can be seen from the video that he is struggling to speak.

"At present, there is no cure for ALS, nor can it improve its symptoms. At most, it can only prolong the survival time of patients. However, a pharmaceutical company is currently researching a new drug, and it has already achieved a lot. , and I am a volunteer in the first phase trial of this new drug, and today is my first day of treatment."

"The birth of a new drug is always risky. As the first phase of testing a new drug, I can't be sure what the consequences will be."

"But I will not shrink back because of unpredictable risks, because this new drug was born mainly because of me. It was my brother who developed this drug to cure my disease, and for this new drug , His pharmaceutical factory almost went bankrupt, but fortunately, it survived in the end. And now it is beginning to pay off. So it is my duty to test new drugs. "

"Here, I would first like to thank my brother, who has been working hard for me all these years, and my fiancée, who has always been with me, even if I can only lie on the bed and can't even move, sometimes It was difficult to even say a word to her. But she never complained."

"It's also because of them that I have never given up on myself. I have always believed that I will be able to stand up again. At that time, I will hold her into the auditorium."

"It's been 3 hours since I took the new medicine. I don't know if it's my illusion. I feel better. This is a good sign."

At this time, many people were sitting in front of the screen like Su Zhe, watching this video. Although the patient spoke very slowly, no one was impatient. On the contrary, I admire his perseverance.

Su Zhe admired this patient for telling the truth. He didn't say that he was experimenting with new drugs as a contribution to mankind.

Instead, he took the initiative to tell why he would be a volunteer to test a new drug, because the pharmaceutical boss who researched this new drug is the patient's brother, and the patient volunteered for his brother and himself.

This video records the whole process of the patient taking the new drug, so this video is very long, and now this video has gained a lot of attention on the Internet.

Because if this new drug is successful, it will be a great boon for mankind, because it means that mankind has conquered another major disease.

Su Zhe has a good understanding of ALS. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is also called motor neuron disease. (The so-called bulb refers to the part of the muscles dominated by the medulla oblongata), the muscles of the limbs, trunk, chest and abdomen gradually weaken and atrophy.

The etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is still unknown, and 20% of cases may be related to heredity and gene defects. In addition, some environmental factors, such as genetics, heavy metal poisoning, etc., may cause motor neuron damage.

This is a malignant disease, just like its name, the sick person loses any ability to move as if frozen by ice and snow, but this process is not rapid, but part of the body shrinks and becomes weak. The patient's intelligence and memory are not affected. The most typical patient representative is the scientific giant Hawking.

According to clinical symptoms, it can be roughly divided into two types: limb-onset type and bulbar-onset type.

At present, humans know little about ALS. Neither the cause nor treatment can be found. The average survival time of patients is only 3 years.

So far, there is no effective treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and at most it can only prolong the survival time of patients.

The global incidence of ALS is 5 to 6 per 100,000. The course of ALS progresses rapidly. The three-year mortality rate of patients is about 50%, and the five-year mortality rate is about 90%.

The reason why Su Zhe knows about ALS, a rare disease, is because the new drug currently developed by Changhua Pharmaceutical Factory is to treat ALS.

So after Su Zhe saw this video, he hoped that the patient could be cured in the end, but he was a little worried because the new medicine he took was the same as that of Changhua Pharmaceutical Factory, which was used to treat ALS , and now the trial of Changhua Pharmaceutical Factory has come to an end, and the new drug will be submitted to the Drug Administration for approval and will be marketed soon.

And if the patient is finally treated successfully, judging from the attention of this video, it will be the best publicity for the new drug, and the new drug of Changhua Pharmaceutical Factory will face a lot of challenges when it comes to the market. It is hard to say whether it can win , That's why Su Zhe was so contradictory.

But neither good nor bad can be avoided, and if there are two new drugs for the treatment of ALS, it will be a good thing for patients.

In this video, people can see that the condition of this patient is getting better and better. The patient who was unable to move at first, after taking this new drug for a long time, the body's reaction is getting stronger and stronger. In the end, the patient does not even need help , he can already stand up, although he is still unable to walk on his own, but this is already an incredible miracle.

Everyone who saw this place was sincerely happy for this patient, including Su Zhe.

So far, patients have not experienced any side effects after taking the new drug. It can be said that at this stage, this new drug can be regarded as a success.

And the brother mentioned by the patient is now alone in the office. After seeing this video, the patient's brother couldn't help crying, because the hard work of these years finally paid off, and his brother finally had a chance. Stand up again.

And the patient's elder brother also understands the patient's painstaking efforts. The patient made this documentary to help his elder brother. The patient's elder brother didn't know this before. Got it. (to be continued..) ()
