Chapter 251: Chapter 189: There’s Something Wrong with Your Style!
"Target object: experimental white mice in the glass cover."
"Virus injection into the blood circulation of the mice, blood invasion of the myocardium can be the beginning (cause), the current pathogenic state of the mice is the end (result)."
["Connection Law"!]
Zhao Yi listened to Zhang Wei’s explanation while tentatively using the "Connection Law," surprisingly finding that it worked and receiving feedback on the process.
The virus invades the mouse myocardium with the blood, causing myocardial cell lesions and continuously spreading;
The mice’s immune system plays a role, and under a series of cellular reactions, more phagocytic cells are secreted to process the lesioned cells;
A small part of the virus is eliminated, but the spread is more than the eliminated; myocardial cells are also partially eliminated, leading to the impairment of myocardial function.
The mice become the present listless state.
"Poor mouse!"
Zhao Yi symbolically sighed, and immediately noticed the use of "Connection Law," only consumed six energy points?
Six points?
There must be something wrong!
Zhao Yi frowned slightly, but seemed to listen more earnestly. Unlike before, having understood the disease process of viral myocarditis, he not only listened to the explanation but also talked about his own views and discussed the disease issues with Zhang Wei.
"If the infection occurs in the heart, if it occurs in the intestines, stomach, etc., it should be just a common viral infection, am I right?"
"Because the key is the heart, and the immune abnormal response, which will cause damage to the heart. The damage process may even exceed that of the virus itself..."
"Can it be understood this way? If there is no immune response and the virus spreads normally, the mouse will not become listless so quickly..."
Zhao Yi just followed Zhang Wei’s words and talked about his understanding, but his performance was much stronger than at the beginning, as if he had a certain understanding of myocarditis.
Zhang Wei thought it was the effect of her introduction, and she sighed in her heart that he was a genius. If it were an ordinary high school graduate, no matter how serious the introduction, it would not be easy to understand the process.
The other party understood so quickly and could even mention some key points.
It’s really... amazing!
After continuous discussion, Zhao Yi brought up the key question, "The whole disease process is very clear, so what is your specific research?"
Zhang Wei initially explained her research, but only based on a simple surface introduction. Asking about the research content would be much more in-depth.
She found that Zhao Yi could understand the process and began to explain more deeply as well.
This involves ’mechanism research.’
Mechanism research is a major category of biomedical projects, and in biomedical research, various disease mechanism studies within the human body can receive support from national research funds.
Mechanism research, simply put, is ’process research.’ In the field of biomedical research, such as pathology, the process at the cellular level is relatively easy to explain – for example, viral infection diseases can be understood by laypeople at the cellular level.
Explaining at the cellular level is too simplistic and is meaningless for genuine pathology research.
Thus, ’mechanism research’ needs to delve into smaller units, such as DNA, cell membranes, and connecting mucous membranes, etc., and even better, unravel protein reactions and the role of gene fragments at the molecular level. Understanding the entire pathological mechanism makes it easier to find targeted ways to solve disease problems.
Biomedical ’pathological mechanism’ research is the theoretical foundation of clinical medicine and pharmacology.
Most projects at the Biomedical Technology Research Institute are related to pathological mechanism research, including Zhang Wei’s ’myocarditis’ project.
Zhao Yi finally understood, "So, it’s best to explain pathology at the molecular level?"
"Not necessarily at the molecular level."
Zhang Wei explained, "The pathogenesis of viral myocarditis is not clear, and there are many projects that need research. It’s impossible to directly explain from the molecular level."
"If you can research the pathological changes of tissue and structure, experiment with the process, draw conclusions, and infer what might happen, the project can be considered complete."
Her words seemed simple, but the project had been going on for more than half a year and had hardly made any progress.
Zhao Yi understood.
The situation in living organisms is not like mathematics or physics, which involve only numerical calculations and formulas but includes very complicated processes – from the cellular level to the molecular level, which is much more complex.
"Connection Law" can obtain processes for both the cellular level and the smaller molecular level, provided there are sufficient conditions and energy.
In this regard, the conditions are easier to achieve.
As long as one can see some experimental processes, or even perform experiments themselves, everything that happens is in plain sight, and the conditions are perfect. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
At the same time,
Relevant knowledge can also serve as a ’supplementary condition.’ With sufficient relevant knowledge, the energy consumed in obtaining the processes will be much less.
To verify his conjecture, he used "Connection Law" again.
