Chapter 479: Chapter 290 Rheumatoid Arthritis Project Completed!

Zhao Yi giving Zhu Zhicheng a phone call was a sudden inspiration.

His laboratory was indeed short of staff.

Moreover, Zhu Zhicheng was truly remarkable, as he could infer the presence of an unknown substance in the blood of rheumatoid arthritis patients just by looking at their blood test reports, leading to the development of the disease.

This was from a doctor’s perspective, while his laboratory conducted research from an experimental standpoint.

In the Biomedical Research Institute, there were some laboratories where clinical doctors had switched careers to engage in medical research, but most of those people were over forty or fifty years old, and there were virtually no young people.

In scientific research, young people were more innovative and had better ideas.

Zhao Yi thought of inviting Zhu Zhicheng to the laboratory to try it out. If he could be recruited, he would be an Assistant Researcher. If he did well, he could easily become a regular, and even if he didn’t make significant contributions, he could still become a researcher with benefits.

If he didn’t come, it would be fine.

That was just a sudden idea, and whether he would come would still depend on Zhu Zhicheng, because the job of a doctor in a big hospital was indeed very good, and the probability of him calling was quite low.

Two days later.

Zhao Yi took a plane to the capital and returned to the Biomedical Research Institute.

After listening to Ai Lixin’s progress report, Zhao Yi seriously participated in the research. free𝑤ebnovel.com

This time he was genuinely involved.

Zhao Yi not only checked in at the lab every day but also actively participated in some experiments, writing research reports and organizing the data of past research whenever he had time.

The research was now in its final stages.

In the past month, a direct link between rheumatoid factor and rheumatoid arthritis had been discovered.

When an immune response occurred in the body, such as a significant antibacterial response, an increase in white blood cells, and an increase in C-immunoglobulin, the activity of the rheumatoid factor would intensify.

On one hand, the rheumatoid factor would participate in the antibacterial response, playing a certain role in the immune system’s fight against bacteria.

On the other hand, it would also damage some specific human cells.

This explained why anti-inflammatory and antibiotic drugs worked in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs would suppress bacteria, accelerate the killing of foreign bacteria, and subsequently reduce immune response, thus lowering the activity of rheumatoid factor.

The enhancement of rheumatoid factor activity couldn’t be just one situation, as there must be other factors that could also enhance its activity.

"We’ll leave that to other laboratories!"

Zhao Yi concluded, "Our research stops here. We’ve found the direct evidence for the existence of the rheumatoid factor and determined its direct connection to rheumatoid arthritis."

"That’s enough!"

"The remaining work will be very cumbersome and can’t be handled by just the few of us. I believe that with more laboratories and researchers participating, the research progress will definitely be faster."

"Now I declare the project over. Brother Ai, you are in charge of the project report. Sister Zhang, you and Brother Liu will write the paper together. After the project has been settled, if any reporters want to interview, you can take responsibility for that as well."

"Brother Liu, I give you an important task – to communicate with other laboratories in our institute. If they are interested in continuing the research, they can have access to our data. But you have to grasp the degree. After all, we must take care of our own people..."

The group clapped together.

Each one of them, filled with anticipation, continued with the follow-up work.

Ai Lixin, Zhang Wei, and Liu Chengjie were even more excited than Zhao Yi himself, as the research results were more important to them.

Zhao Yi did not care about qualifications. He had no intention of promoting himself to a higher level of researcher based on the number of major projects he completed.

The others were different.

Ai Lixin really wanted to be promoted to become a full researcher. It was not just about personal benefits, treatment, or status, but also about saving face. Several of his peers who had started working at the same time as him had already been promoted to full researchers, while he was still only an associate researcher, on the same level as Zhang Wei and Liu Chengjie, who had just joined the workforce.

Zhang Wei and Liu Chengjie, on the other hand, were not in a hurry to be promoted, but their participation in such a significant project, discovering new factors in the human body and helping to unravel the pathological mysteries of rheumatoid arthritis, had a profound impact on their career advancement.

With this project as a foundation, they could claim to have achieved half of the qualifications and results required for a promotion to a full researcher.

Moreover, they could publish their own papers.

The papers published by the entire laboratory would undoubtedly have a significant impact, and their individual contributions to the research could be considered groundbreaking, with a certain degree of influence.

This personal achievement was certainly worth celebrating.

Zhao Yi also participated in writing the paper, which, for him, was quite a high degree of difficulty in completing a medical mechanism research paper.

Papers that were previously published on research results were written by Ai Lixin and Zhang Wei, featuring collective contributions from the lab with him as the first author and Ai Lixin or Zhang Wei as the second authors, and the rest of the names are also mentioned.

The project paper was now Zhang Wei’s responsibility; what Zhao Yi was writing was his personal paper. Through experimental research findings, he would make personal pathological deductions about rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid factors. With experimental results as a basis, pathological deductions were no longer speculation, but a reasonable hypothesis by researchers participating in the project.

Of course.

Although the paper referred to it as a "pathological deduction," the actual conclusion was unequivocal, drawn from the application of abilities.
