Chapter 1123 The Charm of Chinese

Is this little girl really obsessed with medicine? No matter whether she can understand or not, Yang Ping will explain it to her seriously, trying to use easy-to-understand language. Children's curiosity and spirit of exploration are very precious and must be carefully protected.

The little girl blinked her eyes, as if she understood something, and then she fell into thought. "Okay, think about it slowly." Seeing her current appearance, Yang Ping was not worried about her mental state at all.

While Sisi was thinking, Yang Ping was about to leave. When Yang Ping walked to the door, Sisi stopped him and said, "You said that the K virus I used last time lacked effective camouflage and was easily recognized by the human immune system. Therefore, after being injected into the human body, it would be strongly attacked by the immune system. Then why not use a virus that is more compatible with the human body? For example, there are some viruses that the human body cannot naturally produce antibodies against. Wouldn't it be better to use such a virus as a template for modification?"

Primary school students are difficult to deal with when they are serious, so Yang Ping had to patiently explain to her: "When choosing a viral vector, you can't go to extremes. You can't choose a virus that the human body can't produce antibodies to, nor can you choose a virus that the human body can produce a large amount of antibodies to. The former is very dangerous. Once the virus enters the body and reproduces, the human body will have no way to deal with it. It can split at will and do whatever it wants. For example, HIV is like this. Because the human body cannot produce specific antibodies against it, it can neither eliminate it nor prevent it with vaccines. If the number of antibodies produced is too large and too strong, it will not work either. In this way, the virus will be eliminated by the immune system before it reaches the tumor in the body. Sometimes an overly intense immune response can cause harm to the human body. You once had a high fever for several consecutive days in an experiment and almost died. It was caused by an overly strong immune response."

"When choosing a carrier, you need to strike a balance, taking both the beginning and the end into consideration. It must be safe and controllable, and it must also have the ability to penetrate the human immune system." Yang Ping concluded.

I don’t know if the little girl can understand, anyway, Yang Ping has already explained to her in the most common language. But it’s quite interesting to chat with this little girl. Yang Ping likes chatting with her very much, and she is so cute when she is thinking seriously.

"Then can't we use dead viruses that have no replication ability? I saw that your paper mentioned a virus castration technology. Many vaccines also use this technology." Sisi wanted to get to the bottom of it. This child's research spirit is very valuable.

"In theory, yes, but in practice, no, because the virus without replication ability cannot control the time of its death in the human body. This will cause them to be killed prematurely in a complex environment after entering the human body. It is too difficult to avoid being killed before achieving the goal of killing the enemy."

"Oh! I understand." The little girl seemed to understand but not quite.

Sometimes when children are thinking, adults laugh, which will seriously suppress the children's curiosity and thinking ability. In order to protect Sisi's curiosity and thinking ability, Yang Ping never tires of having equal dialogues with her, allowing her to find a sense of being respected in communication.

"Can you understand our paper?" Yang Ping was very curious.

Sisi took out the "Medical" journal that Tang Fei gave her: "This is what Sister Fei gave me. I will read it slowly by myself. Anyway, I know all the words. If there are some concepts I don't understand, I will ask you. I will figure it out slowly and I will understand it eventually."

Yang Ping once again marveled at the magic of Chinese. A primary school student could read medical papers. The reason why she couldn't understand them was not because of the difficulty in reading, but because she didn't understand the concepts of medical terms. If it were in English, this would be unimaginable. Not to mention primary school students, a doctor who didn't study medicine couldn't understand medical papers at all, because he didn't know a lot of words. A lot of unfamiliar words would cause reading difficulties. It's not that he didn't understand the concept of the word, but that the word was just a string of unknown symbols to him.

"And...well, I won't waste your time." Sisi hesitated to speak.

"It's okay, you can go ahead and write down the questions you have in your notebook. We can discuss them slowly when I'm free." Yang Ping suggested to her.

She thought about it and thought this was a good idea, so she immediately took out her notebook and started recording: "Go and be busy, but you must teach me when you are free. You said you would be my teacher, and you can't go back on your word." "Of course, we made a promise, how can I go back on my word?" Yang Ping encouraged her.

"Well, go and get busy." Sisi waved her hand cheerfully.

Yang Ping came to the office, and everyone was discussing Sisi's current condition and experimental plan.

Some of Yang Ping's experimental team members are doctors, while others are not doctors, but researchers in the field of basic medicine. They are mixed together and each plays to their own strengths. Influenced by the success of previous experiments, these people have strong self-confidence and dare to think and act. It is this kind of daring to think and act that will lead to continuous breakthroughs in research topics. In terms of topics, Yang Ping is now focusing on the main aspects, providing the main direction and ideas, and some details are still completed by the experimental team.

The K virus was later renamed the tumor cell targeted apoptosis protein complex. The name is a bit long, which is not in line with the Chinese habit of being concise. So Yang Ping asked everyone to think of a simple and nice name, such as laser, aviation, spiritual realm... These new scientific and technological terms given by the predecessors are very nice and extremely expressive.

Many medical terms are long, but Chinese medical terms are not so exaggerated. There are many long words in English medical terms, such as the longest word, which has 45 letters: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. This is a medical word, and the Chinese translation is just three words: silicosis. Sometimes I have to admire the superb expressive ability of Chinese.

When they heard that the name was going to be changed, everyone immediately became excited. This was not an ordinary matter, but was very meaningful. Whoever chose the name would go down in medical history.

"Target particle?"

"Tumor Missile!"

"K-type virus!"

"..."

Everyone immediately rushed to come up with names, but none of them were ideal. These people were science students and their liberal arts qualities were relatively insufficient, so they couldn't think of a name for the time being.

"Don't worry, take your time to think about the name. We are now discussing the first phase of clinical trials." Yang Ping waved his hand, indicating that now was not the time to name the drug.

"The number of volunteers for the Phase I clinical trial is temporarily insufficient, but this will not affect Sisi's experiment. Sisi is a special case and is not subject to the restrictions of the Phase I clinical trial." Song Zimo said.

"For the production of biological agents, Ruixing Medical has already established a model workshop that can mass-produce qualified biological agents at any time." Tang Shun introduced that the integration of industry, academia and research is now doing very well, and the research results of the institute can be quickly and well converted into qualified commercial products.
