  Chapter 71 Beta-Phenethylamine

   "Congratulations, get the basics of ECG (middle)!"

   "Congratulations, get the basics of literature reading (on)!"

   The two skill books turned into a beam of light and flew into Lu Chen's mind.

  The first book, the basics of electrocardiography (middle).

   This skill book, Lu Chen is very clear.

   The first skill book he drew was the basics of electrocardiography (Part 1).

   This "medium" should be an advanced version.

   But this second skill book, the basics of literature reading, Lu Chen was a little confused.

   may be a skill book to increase the efficiency of literature reading.

   However, most of the literature currently read by doctors and students is in English.

   I don’t know this skill book, is it helpful for reading foreign literature?

  Be aware that medical English is not the same as normal English.

  Too many medical terms need to be memorized, and there are no rules on the basis.

  The sentence pattern and grammar of English literature are not difficult, but the difficulty is, and the vocabulary is extremely rare!

   In order to verify their own ideas.

  Lu Chen took out his cell phone by the bed and found an English document he had saved.

  This article was recently published in NatCommun magazine.

  The title is "CytotoxicCD8+TcellspromotegranzymeB-depengentadversepost-ischemiccardiacremodeling".

   The difficulty of this document is very high. Lu Chen has been studying for three days, and he can only understand the meaning of the superficial words.

   "Call..."

  Lu Chen took a deep breath, opened the document again, and started reading.

   When he read the first paragraph, he was stunned.

   “Acutemyocardialinfarctionisacommomconditionresponsiblefor…”

   English text messages are transmitted to the mind.

but.

   directly output the information in Chinese!

   "A common disease leading to heart failure and sudden death in acute myocardial infarction, in this article, we reveal that after acute myocardial infarction in mice, CD8+ T lymphocytes are recruited and activated in ischemic heart tissue..."

   It was as if Lu Chen was already familiar with this article, and there was no obstacle to reading it.

   But Lu Chen can be sure that he has never read so smoothly before!

  Lu Chen continued to look down.

   He found that now his understanding of this article has not only stayed on the surface meaning of words.

   has a deeper understanding of the experimental process and research conclusions!

   "It can really improve the reading ability of foreign literature!"

   A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.

  To be honest, he was extremely tired of being forced to learn English since he was a child.

  Especially, since medicine, almost all medical frontier knowledge is in foreign literature.

   Now with this skill book, you can save a lot of energy and better devote yourself to medical study.

   To be on the safe side, Lu Chen searched again for a brand new article.

   One he had never seen before.

   There is still no obstacle to reading, this ability still exists!

"Great!"

   Lu Chen's face was full of joy.

Sudden.

   He thought of the "Internet celebrity" fitness dry powder last night.

The instructions for    dry powder are all in English, and many of them are acronyms.

   I didn’t read this line specifically, and it’s really hard to translate the ingredients.

   Now have this skill book.

   He may be able to find the "harmful ingredients" in it!

  Do what you say!

  Lu Chen immediately opened the Douyin app.

   Find the instruction manual for that "fitness dry powder".

   (The instruction manual will be placed in the comment area, and interested students can read it, all in English.)

   There are many ingredients in dry fitness powder.

  Lu Chen had to find the ingredients he was familiar with first, make sure that they had no side effects, and eliminate these ingredients.

   Then find ingredients you haven't seen before.

   Check its specific content on the Internet.

  …

  It took about half an hour to check.

   Relying on the "literature reading" skill book, Lu Chen successfully locked an ingredient in the dry fitness powder.

  β-Phenethylamine!

  In the ingredients description of the fitness dry powder, beta-phenethylamine is described as helping to maintain focus, maintain a good mood, and maintain alertness.

   This reminded Lu Chen of another phenethylamine--α-methylphenethylamine.

  , also sometimes written as amphetamine, is a central nervous system stimulant used to treat ADHD, narcolepsy, and obesity.

The name    is not well known to everyone.

   But alpha-methylphenethylamine is closely related to another well-known substance, methamphetamine (also known as methamphetamine).

  The crystal form of the latter is commonly known as methamphetamine and slang "pork".

   It is a potent central nervous system stimulant used mainly in drugs and occasionally in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obesity.

   And their good brother, beta-phenethylamine, is also approved for dietary supplements and fitness supplements because of a similar mechanism.

   It’s just that you know that if you have studied medicine.

  If high doses of methamphetamine are taken, it can cause psychosis due to central nervous system stimulation, rhabdomyolysis, generalized seizures and intracranial hemorrhage.

   Overdose can also cause mild brain damage due to dopamine activation and serotonin activation neurotoxicity.

   And the long-term existence of these substances will have a continuous stimulating effect on the postsynaptic membrane and stimulate the continuous excitation of the central nervous system.

   Increases cardiac contractility, increases excitability, accelerates conduction, increases cardiac output, and increases heart rate; at the same time, it strengthens the contraction of blood vessels and increases blood pressure.

   Seeing this, the cause of the "Internet celebrity" finally became clear.

   At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly received a prompt from the system.

   "Congratulations, the system upgrade completion rate has increased by 1%!"

  It seems that the culprit of everything is β-phenethylamine!

  Lu Chen immediately edited his findings into a document and sent it to Sun Guoguo.

  …

   Jinghua Second Hospital, a rental house in a nearby community.

   "GuoGuo, you just got off the night shift, are you still not sleeping? Let's write the thesis tomorrow."

   Liu Mei and Sun Guoguo are shared roommates.

   She was about to go to bed, and when she passed by Sun Guoguo's room, she found that she was still sitting in front of the computer.

  Sun Guoguo shook his head vigorously, picked up the coffee on his table, and took a sip.

   "I'm not writing a thesis, I'm reading an English manual to check what ingredients are on it."

   "Instructions?" Liu Mei walked into the room and leaned over her head, "What's going on?"

"It's what happened to the eighth district in our hearts last night." Sun Guoguo said helplessly, "We suspect that it happened after he ate this dry fitness powder, but we haven't found the specific ingredients, so we can't draw a conclusion. ."

  Liu Mei raised her eyebrows.

   "You guys should just hand this over to the School of Medicine to check. You check one by one yourself. When will you check it out?"

  Sun Guoguo shrugged and said, "The School of Pharmacy has also been contacted, but now this matter is imminent. If they wait another ten days and a half months, their research results will come out, and the daylily will be cold."

   "Okay, then you go to bed early." Liu Mei yawned and prepared to leave.

   At this moment, Sun Guoguo gave a soft "Huh".

  Liu Mei took a step forward and looked back at Sun Guoguo.

   At this moment, Sun Guoguo opened the email from Lu Chen with a puzzled look.

   Entering the target content, Sun Guoguo was slightly taken aback.

   This is about the ingredients list of that fitness dry powder.

   "Beta-phenethylamine... stimulates the central nervous system to continue to excite. It increases cardiac contractility, increases cardiac output, increases heart rate, and at the same time strengthens the contraction of blood vessels, which increases blood pressure..."

  Sun Guoguo was surprised and delighted after reading the entire document.

  The good news is that we finally found the "harmful ingredients" in dry fitness powder!

   Surprisingly, Lu Chen actually found this!

   This all-English drug instruction manual has complex ingredients and uncommon words.

   Even students majoring in pharmacy need to analyze for a long time.

  Lu Chen actually found it so quickly!

   "Guoguo, what's wrong?"

   Liu Mei looked at Sun Guoguo, who looked surprised.

"found it!"

   "Ah? Didn't you just say it would take a long time?"

   "It's not me, it's not the pharmacy school, it's Junior Brother Lu Chen!" Sun Guoguo said excitedly, "He found it!"

   "Lu Chen? Is that the handsome guy from your group?" Liu Mei asked in surprise.

"Um."

  Sun Guoguo nodded and prepared to forward the document sent by Lu Chen to Director Guo of the Medical Department and tutor Li Yao.

   "I think he is very good in clinical practice. I didn't expect him to be so good in academics." Liu Mei smiled, "Director Li really recruited a good student this year."

  Sun Guoguo glanced at Liu Mei who was wearing pink pajamas, "You hurry up and find a boyfriend, don't bully the children."

  Liu Mei spread her hands and left Sun Guoguo's room with a smile.

  Sun Guoguo ignored Liu Mei.

   Click the forward button to send Lu Chen's email!

  …

  Li Yao in the office of the eighth district director in his heart.

   I saw the email sent by Sun Guoguo for the first time.

   "Beta-Phenethylamine? Is this..."

   The corners of Li Yao's mouth couldn't help twitching.

   A faint smile appeared on her originally indifferent face.

   At the same time, Director Guo of the Medical Department.

   He also received an email from Sun Guoguo.

   A "counter-offensive" from the hospital kicked off!
