Chapter 472

"Jianguo, what's your mood now?"

When Zheng Jianguo's words didn't fall, Gan Lijun next to him came up with a microphone. When he and Zhao Liangliang turned to look, they found that Gan Lijun in a white dress was surrounded by a dark camera, so they showed a brilliant smile and said, "I'm a little excited. Can you believe that so many academic celebrities will gather in this house? As far as I know, it was Sir Andrew who had won the Nobel Prize. His grandfather was Thomas Henry Huxley, a follower of Darwin.

Of course, among the 150 guests attending this evening, there are also 38 Nobel Prize winners and 43 Lasker prize winners, and others are also experts in biology and medicine related fields -- "

Facing the camera, Zheng Jianguo seemed to be a changed person and talked endlessly. It was like fans found that their favorite singer, film star and sports star suddenly appeared in a room and couldn't help expressing their surprise: "their names are in the biology and medicine textbooks we are learning now, Instead of some so-called unknown authoritative experts, it can be said that the people in this house are leading the future development of biology and medicine -- "

"Oh, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to -"

Before Zheng Jianguo finished, a voice suddenly came out in front of the podium, so when he turned to look, Gan Lijun also put away the microphone: "Jianguo, the award ceremony is about to begin. We'll interview you later."

"OK!"

Considering that there was a camera, Zheng Jianguo saw Zhao Liangliang and Gan Lijun take the photographer to the distant table to sit down. Their identity was solved by special application. Otherwise, only those who got the invitation could attend, so they were arranged at the farthest place.

"In the past period of time, we were pleasantly surprised to find that DNA has become a toy, which can be disassembled and assembled like children treat building block toys -"

Lasker Marie, the chairman of the foundation on the stage, spoke with childlike interest, but Zheng Jianguo knew that she was paving the way for recombinant DNA technology. Just as the story of his discovery of Helicobacter pylori contained many elements of good character of being positive in adversity and adhering to the truth, he was able to tell a well-known story, It is the basic quality of a successful person.

At least, in America——

However, the two laureates who won the Lasker prize for basic medicine by virtue of recombinant DNA technology did not have a good story to tell, so that the chairman of the foundation had to avoid the emphasis and make an interesting introduction in the award speech, but he turned to the main topic without saying a few words: "it is their research that makes us take a key step towards solving the mystery of life, Let's congratulate Paul Berg and Walter Gilbert for their joint research on recombinant DNA technology and won the Lasker Basic Medicine Award in 1980 -- "

"Hua Hua --"

When the applause was not warm and scattered, Zheng Jianguo saw two middle-aged men in ordinary suits standing on the adjacent table in front. When they stood at the podium, a staff member had inserted the American flag.

So the two took the headless trophy from Rusk Mary. First, Paul Berg, who was red, put his head out of the microphone, looked at the dark head below and said, "thank you, thank you. I will continue to study hard."

"Oh, thank you very much for giving me this honor. As far as I know, the research of many researchers and doctors is more important than me, but I think winning this award can help me in my future research -"

Compared with Paul Berger, who was finished in one sentence, Walter Gilbert obviously wanted to say two more words. He just didn't know whether he was prepared in advance or he was too excited. He blushed and said something illogical. Finally, he smiled and ended: "thank you, thank you."

"Hua Hua --"

There was a lot of warm applause than before. When Zheng Jianguo clapped his hands, Camille suddenly leaned out his head and said, "Zheng, you should have prepared your speech?"

"Sure, you don't see who we are -"

Looking at Camille's concerned face, it was obvious that he found the embarrassment of the two on the stage. Zheng Jianguo swept her cheeks and showed a gentle smile. He saw Camille tilt his head and body forward, and a piece of white in his round neck came into view. He immediately looked quietly at the stage, Paul Berg and Walter Gilbert had reached the side of the national flag, and two or three reporters quickly photographed it: "I wrote it myself."

"Where shall we go later? I don't want to go back so early -- "

As if aware of Zheng Jianguo's strange eyes, Camille sat up straight with a smile. When he said it, he only heard Lasker Mary's voice from the podium: "ladies and gentlemen, since humans have learned to use lenses for optical zoom to explore the stars and the world, people have seen everything they can see with this tool, Including ourselves.

The development of modern medicine is inseparable from the contribution of microscope. Through it, we can find that there are countless bacteria and viruses in the air, food, water, saliva and skin.

After hundreds of years of development and research, we think we have enough understanding of our body and believe that bacteria can not survive in our stomach, because no organism can survive in gastric acid comparable to iron phosphate in battery.

This is the golden rule, which is recognized by countless doctors all over the world, especially doctors in gastrointestinal diseases. You can't have bacteria in your stomach. Stomach diseases, gastritis and gastric ulcers are caused by your pressure and eating too spicy. Is there a little mouse in it, making a hole in the wall of your stomach?

Sorry, if you say that, you will be transferred to the gentlemen in psychology and neurology -- "

"Hahaha -"

Lasker Marie spoke happily, and the audience was also relaxed. In particular, when she mentioned the kind complaints that most doctors had heard, she immediately burst into laughter.

"It's just that we're all wrong -"

The silver haired Lasker Marie smiled and said, "we are all wrong. Over the past 100 years, countless doctors and researchers have been wrong. Up to now, the conclusions written in most medical textbooks in Europe and the world are wrong, We have treated gastrointestinal patients with wrong ideas for half a century -- "

With the light but powerless voice of Lasker Marie, the sound in the large banquet hall disappeared, and the needles could be heard. Especially when the statements of hundreds of years of gastrointestinal patients echoed in the empty hall, the participants immediately felt the weight expressed in the light words.

Gastroenterology is one of the common diseases of human beings. The overall incidence rate of human groups is as high as 1/5. However, this is the calculation of all the people from birth to the end of life.

But the disease is increasing with age, and the incidence rate is increasing. Over 50 years old is 40%, and sixty is 50%.

Before the people thought that cigarettes would not cause cancer, the cancer killer all over the world was lung cancer. With the research progress in recent years (1980), although the cause of lung cancer has not been found, the ultra-high carcinogenicity of cigarettes can be confirmed through the statistics of the cancer probability of smoking and smoking.

So by 1980, lung cancer, which used to be the top of the list, had given way to gastric cancer, making gastric cancer the number one killer of human health all over the world.

If esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer are included, the cancer in the digestive system dominated by the gastrointestinal system has become a major threat to human health.

Imagine that in the past 50 years, doctors have adhered to the golden rule that can never be wrong to treat. How many people will develop cancer because of misdiagnosis?

This is a terrible number!

When the unseen and untouchable weight weighed on the shoulders of all the people present, Rusk Mary showed a brilliant smile on her positive face and whispered: "although the whole world, including us, is wrong, in the distant and backward East, on the soil we believe that there will be no truth, a young man relies on his observation of life, With his curiosity about the mysteries of life, his persistence not to yield to authority, and his firm belief in truth——

With his emaciated body, the great spirit of sacrificing oneself for others, and the irrefutable research process and experimental conclusions, he has proved that all mankind will finally win in the battle against disease!

Next, welcome Zheng Jianguo from the Republic of China. Based on the above noble qualities and research results, he won the Lasker clinical medicine award this year -- "

"Hua Hua --"

When the warm applause rang out, Zheng Jianguo stood up and gave a kiss to Camille. He received the attention of more than 100 scientists, upstarts in New York and dozens of Nobel Prize winners. With a smile, he trotted to Lasker Mary and gave her a hug: "thank you, Mrs. Lasker."

"Oh, Zheng, congratulations -"

When Rusk Mary was surprised, Zheng Jianguo had stood up straight, so she turned around and handed over the trophy and certificate. She also made an invitation gesture.

Holding the certificate and trophy in his hand, Zheng Jianguo turned to face the applause from the audience, came to the microphone, took a deep breath and said, "thank you, thank you. This award is a surprise for me. I was deeply moved by Mrs. Lasker's evaluation. It seems that he has returned to the field and followed my father. A barefoot doctor is running around for his neighbors.

When I was a child, I didn't study well. After grade 9, I could only be regarded as ordinary. At that time, in order to work in the factory, I wanted to go to work in a large company and studied in my spare time. Later, I was admitted to medical school when I resumed the college entrance examination.

What Mrs. Lasker said earlier was made by me with the support of my parents and teachers. Learning and life are inseparable from the training of teachers. Especially after I came to America, I found that I can learn more -- "

"Then you accepted the doctor of solid state physics?"

The previous hug ceremony was surprised. Lasker Mary couldn't help looking up when she heard his natural review. The two adults were nervous and thought that if he ended like this, the award ceremony would be a little fast.

"Hahaha -"

Mrs. Lasker's ridicule said that the people under the stage laughed again. Even those who didn't know about it stared at the stage. Zheng Jianguo smiled and continued to say, "this is also inseparable from the support of teachers -"

"Well, as far as I know, if you go back to school, will there be a teacher to tell you about gastroenteropathy?"

Looking at Zheng Jianguo's dignified appearance, Mrs. Lasker once again caused the following kind laughter. However, Zheng Jianguo knew that the topic could not be well connected, which was to give the impression of raising his tail, so he smiled and said: "the discovery of Helicobacter pylori is inseparable from the support of schools and teachers, just like I found the atomic graphite layer, MIT and Professor Thomas did that.

The reason why I named it Helicobacter pylori is according to the latest research conclusion, that is, its body shape spiral rod. I want to express my gratitude to my colleagues at Mayo Clinic for taking 3D photos of Helicobacter pylori.

Anyone who has seen this picture knows that it is a rod-shaped bacterium with obvious characteristics of spiral, and it has three to five flagella at one end.

I think its body structure allows it to be embedded in the stomach wall with screws, and the flagella can make it more firm (Research error, flagella is a motor organ).

After my previous research on tens of thousands of cases in China and many cases I came into contact with after coming to the United States, it was found that most of the cases were Helicobacter pylori.

Why the Helicobacter in this place is so densely divided is also found in the latest research of my institute. Based on the research on Helicobacter in the culture dish, it is found that urease and ammonia are detected in the culture medium.

Therefore, we focused on the duodenum connected to the pylorus at the lower end of the stomach and found that it can produce sodium bicarbonate to neutralize gastric acid, making the acidity at the lower end of the stomach weak, so that Helicobacter pylori can gather here. Relevant research has been published in cell recently.

Therefore, I named this Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter pylori. At the same time, in order to fundamentally solve the pain and cancer that perplex people at present, I decided to start the human genome project.

With umbrella biology as the main body and Sir Andrew, President of the British society as the project host, we are looking for two or three cooperative institutions. It is expected to complete the mapping of human whole gene map in 10 years, so as to solve the causes of human diseases at the genetic level. "
