"Okay, after all the work is over, we will publish the research results to the public." Mr. Andy nodded to show that he knew.

He understood what the boss meant. HIBS Research Institute was not short of those stupid things, but to successfully attract a large number of high-tech talents, it would not be enough to just pay high wages. You must come up with some results to prove yourself, otherwise it would be difficult to attract a large number of arduous researchers.

Senior talents in biomedical majors are generally not short of money. Even ordinary researchers who have worked for several years have an annual salary of more than 200,000 US dollars. Relatively speaking, these people pay more attention to fame. When they find out the origin of SARS, they can definitely attract the attention of many people.

Han Xuan really attaches great importance to this research institute, otherwise he would not have agreed to inject so much money every year. The investment amount is higher than the research fund invested in SpaceX. In his opinion, it is not up to the question whether interstellar colonization can be achieved. The most important thing is to save the lives of the existing patients first.

Today, around the world, the number of patients who die from cancer alone is as many as 8,000 every day. There are still records, and there are more numbers without records.

In addition, AIDS is also a major problem that plagues the medical community today. Since the first patient was diagnosed in the United States in 1981, the virus has spread to an astonishing speed worldwide.

According to statistics from the "2004 AIDS Epidemic Report" released by the United Nations HIV Programme and the World Health Organization in November 2004, the number of AIDS infections around the world hit a new high in 2004, exceeding 39 million, with 4.9 million new infections, and more than 3 million patients last year.

The sub-Saharan region is still the most severe HIV infection area, with an infection rate of more than 25%. The average life expectancy of nine countries in that area is even lower than that of 40 years ago. The bodyguards of Han Xuan are also men. Singles occasionally go out for fun, but when they were in Gabon, they zipped their pants well.

In addition, various other diseases are also plaguing human health. If you die of a dead end or die unexpectedly, it is acceptable, but it is even more heartbreaking to die due to illness. This is also the original intention of Han Xuan to establish this research institute - to save more people's lives and prevent them from being tortured by illness.

As for making money, this is also one reason, but it is not what Han Xuan values ​​the most. When he first went to college ten years ago, his ranch neighbor Lao Hall died of an accident due to cerebrovascular disease. A such a good person disappeared. Later, his wife moved away and died of a tumor.

As long as he is not alone, there are relatives and friends who die due to illness in every family. Among the names he hears most often, there are "heart disease", "stroke", "diabetes", "cancer", etc. He is using the wealth he earns from society to repay it to society. Official organizations are prone to relax, and enterprising pharmaceutical companies are reluctant to give up or have no money to invest. Researching drugs is never a small expense.

Han Xuan and Mr. Andy walked forward shoulder to shoulder, while Executive Anthony was whispering to Secretary Dawson. As the only personal secretary, Dawson often contacted Executive Anthony. The two were old friends. The chat topic focused on the recent experiences of going to Africa. They were busy with work all day long, and travel was one of the ways for Anthony to relieve stress.

Compared to the chat content between Dawson and Mr. Anthony, Han Xuan and Mr. Andy were much more ambitious. He was asking Andy: "Do you know post-exposure-prophylaxis, how is the post-promotion of this drug going?

I heard that it was developed more than a year ago, and the clinical results have come out, right?"

The establishment of HIBS Institute is still short. Even if it includes its predecessor, it is only five or six years. Compared with the development cycle of a drug, it is a very short time. Although no particularly powerful drugs have been developed, there have been many progress, including this drug called "post-exposure-prophylaxis".

Its name is unfamiliar to most people. PEP is a new drug, and its only function is that it is like emergency contraceptive pills, but it prevents HIV.

Before this, most of the publicity in schools, communities, hospitals, and countries around the world were just popular science on the transmission of AIDS, including the introduction of the virus in school textbooks, and it only stayed at the cognitive level.

However, there has never been a popular science publicity of "how to protect yourself in the early stages of possible HIV infection". This is actually more important and practical. The most important protection measures in the early stage are the blocking drugs studied by the HIBS Institute, which can reduce the risk of infection.

The principle is to block the virus at all stages when it enters the human body. The earlier you take it, the better the effect. Before that, people could only reduce the risk through various special anti-HIV drugs. The effect is not as good as PEP. This is a great new drug, so it was remembered by Han Xuan...

“It has been passed, and it has been produced and put into major hospitals and the International Red Cross.

I am not responsible for the post-promotion, but articles about its effects have been published in major medical journals and have been reprinted and promoted by mainstream media. Last month, a friend asked me about this.

The friend worked at the Las Vegas Police Department. A tourist in his area was violated after drinking too much. Later, he found that the person had HIV. So he asked me what to do and I recommended PEP to him.

Afterwards, we communicated with the police and sent out news about this drug to ensure that if a similar situation occurs, people can go to the hospital or the local Red Cross Society as soon as possible and ask for blockade drugs.

Side effects such as drowsiness, low-quality sleep, dizziness, nausea, hallucination, etc. are the most serious in the first two days. There is basically no response in the later stages of taking. For the group, the probability of HIV infection can indeed be calculated. For individuals, the probability of infection is zero sum 100%, and we have to treat it carefully."

Andy suddenly felt happy when he thought of something and continued to answer Han Xuan: "In addition to this drug, our researchers have also improved the existing cocktail therapy and added Act to it.

Its function is to enhance cell activity. If healthy cells are full of vitality, their immunity will naturally increase, which means that the patient's survival time will be slightly extended.

This mysterious substance produced in the snow mountain ranch is too mysterious. Maybe it can be used to cure some diseases, but we have not yet mastered the way to open the door through it. The only miraculous effect is actually weight loss. It is really ironic..."
