Chapter 1016 - 980: You're the Best
"Expert Lin, this time's research was fortunate enough to succeed, thanks to your inspiration!"With a calmer tone, Zhou Ziyan spoke confidently into the phone, "That day, I followed your advice and went home to rest, but I couldn't calm down due to the matters at hand."
"I decided to go through all the research I've done over the years on the purification of traditional Chinese medicine, injection, and absorption, intending to review everything from the beginning."
"When I looked at it again, I discovered a problem."
Zhou Ziyan's voice raised a little, "My research had entered an extreme, overly pursuing the ultimate purification of traditional Chinese medicine components."
"This created a problem where, although the purified components of traditional Chinese medicine and the main active ingredients of the decocted medicinal juice weren't much different, too many auxiliary components were lost."
"Perhaps it's these seemingly useless auxiliary components that allow the main active ingredients to neutralize each other and avoid adverse effects on the human body."
"Thinking of this, I had a moment of enlightenment."
"I actually overlooked a very important principle of traditional Chinese medicine, 'Jun Chen Zuo Shi'. "
Lin Jie knew a little bit about this 'Jun Chen Zuo Shi'.
It's the compositional principle of Chinese medicinal prescriptions.
Jun, or sovereign, is the medicine in the prescription that plays a decisive role, resolving the primary conflict of the disease.
Chen, or minister, is the medicine that plays a secondary role, resolving the secondary conflict of the disease.
Zuo, or assistant, acts in the prescription to coordinate or enhance the therapeutic functions of the sovereign and minister drugs or to mitigate the toxic side effects of other medicines, hence the meaning of counteracting assistant,
Shi, or courier, refers to the guiding medicine that directs all others to the site of disease, bearing the meaning of guiding and courier functions.
Only when medicines are composed with the cooperation of Jun Chen Zuo Shi can a prescription truly exert its effects.
Once again, Zhou Ziyan's voice came through the phone, "Expert Lin, I really need to thank you especially!"
"If it hadn't been for your reminder not to rush my research work and not to push myself too hard, sometimes taking a step back allows for better insight. I might not have discovered the problem."
A cheerful Lin Jie laughed, "This is also because you've amassed enough knowledge, just one step away from success. Without this foundation, stepping back wouldn't have led to discovering the problem."
He continued, "The medicinal juice boiled from so many types of herbs contains countless active ingredients, and once purified, many trace components are inevitably lost."
"Zhou Ziyan, do you mean you've extracted all the pharmacologically active components?"
"How did you manage to do it?"
Lin Jie was slightly perplexed, as it seemed impossible to analyze and determine these components in such a short time.
Zhou Ziyan chuckled and said, "Expert Lin, we thought of a clever way."
"The decocted traditional Chinese medicine juice was too complex."
"Although I found the problem at that time, I was at a loss for how to solve it."
"In my excitement and frustration, I impulsively called up my old man and my brother to discuss the issue."
"We discussed it nearly all night without results, but my old man's one sentence enlightened me."
"The old man also said that the human body has an automatic selection function; the traditional medicine we ingest autonomously absorbs the beneficial components and eliminates the useless ones as waste.
"What do you mean?" Lin Jie was momentarily perplexed.
Zhou Ziyan became excited again and said, "Expert Lin, our bodies have a filtering function!"
"With this line of thought, I went to the Medical College laboratory, and with Dr. Huo Guangheng's help, I obtained fresh pig, cow, and sheep stomachs and intestines, stripping out their stomach and intestinal membranes."
Lin Jie immediately understood and couldn't help but say, "You're using the absorption characteristics of biology to filter effective components of traditional Chinese medicine?"
"Yes, Expert Lin, exactly!"
"We used stomach and intestinal membranes to dialyze the decocted medicinal juice, and then we performed secondary purification extraction."
Zhou Ziyan couldn't help but exclaim, "Expert Lin, with this method, the tonic components produced could almost be entirely absorbed by our bodies, upon analysis."
"More importantly, in cell culture experiments, this tonic could accelerate cell division and growth."
"In today's completed human trial, we found no abnormal reactions."
"Expert Lin, we've succeeded, this time, we've truly succeeded."
Lin Jie took a deep breath and said, "Zhou Ziyan, congratulations!"
"Thank you for your hard work; it can be said that at the final moment, you made a significant breakthrough."
Then he thought of something and asked, "Hey, is there a difference in the efficacy of the dialyzed medication from pig, cow, and sheep stomach and intestinal membranes?"
"Yes! Relatively speaking, the medication dialyzed from pig's stomach and intestinal membranes is the most effective."
"Perhaps this is because pigs share more similarities with us humans in various aspects."
This answer did not surprise Lin Jie.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Zhou Ziyan, the research on this inducer still needs to continue, and I look forward to you developing a more powerful traditional Chinese medicine inducer."
"Expert Lin, I will definitely continue to work hard!" Zhou Ziyan promised.
Lin Jie spoke again, "During this period, stay in the Medical College laboratory every day and continue the research on the traditional Chinese medicine inducer."
"Be with me for a day in the hospital, deeply involved in the trial treatment, and gather first-hand clinical trial data."
"Okay, Expert Lin, I will definitely do my best."
Zhou Ziyan sounded a bit excited again and said, "Expert Lin, for this traditional medicine inducer that has been developed, could you give it a name?"
"A name?"
Lin Jie thought for a moment and declined, saying, "I'm not talented at naming things."
"What comes to mind now is something like 'Life One'. Since you're the developer, you should come up with a name yourself..."
Lin Jie walked into the bedroom and found An Kexin still in her clothes, with her makeup on, walking back and forth while talking on the phone.
Lin Jie didn't disturb her and lay on the bed with his hands behind his head.
An Kexin glanced at Lin Jie on the bed and said into the phone, "Engineer Yuan, let's leave it like this for now. Just discuss with them the points I mentioned earlier."
"If they are unwilling to lower their demands, we'll just have to apologize."
She hung up the phone, sat down in front of Lin Jie, gently massaged one of his legs, and asked, "Tired?"
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "Not tired! Compared to a dozen hours of surgery, this is nothing."
"Worried about brusquely driving away that group of military doctors this morning?"
Lin Jie just snorted, "I'm not worried about them at all."
"This trial treatment is just something that only I can do."
"They might be the military's most well-known oncology experts, but it's not difficult for the military to select another batch of doctors with similar expertise."
"As long as my demands aren't excessive, the military won't do anything to me."
An Kexin chuckled softly, "You're being spoiled and arrogant, using your talent to your advantage."
"But, you seem to have something on your mind. Did something just happen?"
Lin Jie sat up, leaned on An Kexin, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said leisurely, "I just got a call from Zhou Ziyan. He said the traditional medicine inducer has been developed."
He then gave a rough recap of his conversation with Zhou Ziyan.
An Kexin happily said, "That's wonderful news."
"According to the plan, isn't the trial treatment for Elenna set to start next Monday? The successful development of this inducer is timely."
"A-Jie, is it just my imagination, or do you seem not too happy?"
Lin Jie sat up straight, touched his face, and asked, "Is it that obvious?"
An Kexin turned her head, looked at him, nodded, and said, "It's obvious, you might as well write 'I'm unhappy' on a note and stick it on your forehead."
Lin Jie let out a sound and said, "When I first heard the news, I was happy, really happy."
"Zhou Ziyan's idea of using biological gastric membranes for dialysis to extract effective components of traditional medicine was brilliant and astonishing."
He hesitated, then said, "Later, I started feeling a bit uncomfortable."
Facing An Kexin, Lin Jie didn't hide his thoughts, openly saying, "This kind of idea should have been mine, not Zhou Ziyan's."
An Kexin was taken aback and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "A-Jie, do you mean you're jealous?"
"Jealous?"
Lin Jie outright denied it, "How could I be jealous of him? He's only a Ph.D. graduate, in modern medicine, he couldn't catch up with me even if he took a rocket."
"Of course, in traditional medicine, I'm not as good as him."
"He also has a good family background, and though his looks are only slightly inferior to mine, he is much taller than me."
Upon hearing this, An Kexin understood why Lin Jie was in a bad mood.
Because he mentioned... height.
During today's photo shoot, to create a height difference with her wearing high heels, Lin Jie was repeatedly asked to stand on blocks or other items for the photos.
Perhaps the photographer's repeated requests made Lin Jie a bit sensitive.
Plus, tonight, Zhou Ziyan, who has excellent conditions in all aspects, achieved something in Lin Jie's most proficient field of medical innovation.
This made Lin Jie a bit sour, even a little insecure.
Looking at Lin Jie's gloomy face, An Kexin suddenly felt he was so real, no longer that invincible medical superman above everyone.
At the same time, she also felt a bit pained for him.
Even though Lin Jie had reached such heights, he still harbored insecurities inside, fearful of being surpassed.
She reached out to hug Lin Jie and softly comforted him, "A-Jie, in the world's ten measures of medicine, you already hold eight. Can't you let others have a go?"
"In my heart, you are the best boyfriend. In Miaomiao's heart, you are the best brother. In the eyes of patients, you are the most remarkable doctor."
"A-Jie, you are simply the best..."
