    After Su Zhe took a bath, Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai Hu were still entangled together, not separated, but they were motionless.  .  .  Read the latest and most complete novels

    When Su Zhe walked over and took a look, he realized that the two little guys were already asleep.

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

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

    There is a self-portrait video of a patient in this news. This video is about the patient's process of volunteering for a new drug.

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

    "There is currently no cure for ALS, nor can it improve its symptoms. At best, it can only prolong the patient's survival time. However, a pharmaceutical company is currently researching a new drug, and it has already achieved considerable results.  , and I am a volunteer in the first phase of the trial of this new drug, and today is my first day of treatment.¡±

    "There are always risks in the birth of a new drug. As a first-phase experimental new drug, I am not 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  , and his pharmaceutical company almost went bankrupt, but luckily it survived and now it¡¯s starting to pay off, so it¡¯s my duty to experiment with new drugs.¡±

    "Here, I would like to thank my brother first, who has been working hard for me all these years, and my fianc¨¦e, who has never left me, even if I can only lie in bed and can't even move. Sometimes  It was difficult to even say a word to her, but she never complained."

    "It is also because of them that I have never given up on myself. I always believe that I can stand up again. When the time comes, I will hold her and walk into the auditorium."

    "It's been 3 hours since I took the new medicine. I don't know if it's my imagination, but I feel a little 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 did not say that he was testing new drugs as a contribution to mankind.  Instead, he took the initiative to tell why he volunteered to test the new drug. It was because the pharmaceutical boss who was researching this new drug was the patient's brother, and the patient volunteered for his brother and himself.

    This video records the entire process of the patient taking the new drug, so the video is very long. 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 to mankind, because it means that mankind has conquered another major disease.

    Su Zhe has some knowledge about ALS. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is also called motor neuron disease. It is caused by damage to upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons, including the bulb.  (The so-called bulb refers to the part of the muscles controlled by the medulla oblongata), the muscles of the limbs, trunk, chest and abdomen gradually weaken and atrophy.

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

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

    It can be roughly divided into two types according to clinical symptoms, namely limb-onset type and bulbar-onset type.

    At present, humans know very little about ALS. No cause has been found, and there is no treatment. The average survival time of patients is only 3 years.

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

    The global incidence rate 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.Symptoms.

    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 was taking was the same as that of Changhua Pharmaceutical Factory, which was used to treat ALS.  , and now the trial at Changhua Pharmaceutical Factory has come to an end, and the new drug will be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration for approval and will be put on the market soon.

    And if the patient is successfully treated in the end, judging from the attention this video has received, it will be the best publicity for the new drug. Changhua Pharmaceutical Factory will face a lot of challenges in launching the new drug. It is hard to say whether it can win.  , that's why Su Zhe is so conflicted.

    ¡°It can be a blessing or a curse, and if two new drugs for treating ALS emerge, it will also be a good thing for patients.

    In this video, people can see that the patient's condition is getting better and better. The patient who was originally unable to move, after taking this new drug for a long time, the body's reaction is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, the patient does not even need help.  , he can already stand up. Although he can't walk on his own yet, 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 when taking the new drug. It can be said that at this stage, this new drug can be considered a success.

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

    The patient's brother also understood the patient's painstaking efforts. The patient made this documentary to help his brother. The patient's brother did not know this at first. Like most people, he saw this video by accident.  Got this.  (To be continued)
