Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 906 The only designated health care unit of the China Academy of Engineering Physics, learning by analogy (Bonus chapter for monthly tickets: 3K chapters)

Recognized by a group of top scientists, and through practical application cases by groups of meritorious individuals in the national defense cause, a collaborative innovation model has been formed among the scientific, medical, and traditional Chinese medicine industries, providing empirical samples for the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.

Don't underestimate this example; those others, such as "space agency partner," "designated supplier for the Olympics," and "sole partner of the national team," all have strong commercial value.

This is before the reform and opening up, when various business models are still in the experimental stage. As a national-level scientific research institution, the China Academy of Engineering Physics' collaborative cases can serve as authoritative evidence of the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine, and can most likely help to expand into the international high-end medical market.

If this sample can increase sales through other channels and provide more foreign exchange to the country, and if it has already achieved results while other units are still figuring things out, it will likely receive special funds, green channels for approval, and other policy support in the future.

Moreover, the orders from the China Academy of Engineering Physics require a large quantity of authentic medicinal herbs, which can also promote the protection of local germplasm resources and the formulation of grading standards, and call on the country to earn foreign exchange while ensuring domestic supply.

In summary, supplying China Academy of Engineering Physics not only secures stable orders, but its deeper value lies in serving the scientific elite and facilitating the transformation of senior intellectuals' understanding of traditional Chinese medicine from empirical to evidence-based medicine.

At the same time, leveraging policy dividends will promote the upgrading of the medicinal materials industry chain, forming a virtuous cycle of clinical verification, authoritative recognition, industrial expansion, and cultural export.

This wasn't something that Fang Yan came up with on his own.

The internationalization of Japanese Kampo medicine began in 1980. Tsumura Pharmaceutical collaborated with institutions such as the University of Tokyo to transform the classic prescriptions of "Shanghan Lun" into standardized granules. Through pharmacological experiments, their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects were proven, supporting Kampo medicine to begin to occupy the global market. Before the dialect spread, they occupied 90% of the international Chinese medicine market share. In 2022, Tsumura's overseas revenue accounted for 37%.

This is the path that others have already paved. Now, the dialect is just taking the lead by two years and starting to follow their plan, copying the correct answer for the future.

Upon hearing Fang Yan's words and those of the Vice Minister of Health, Chairman Qian's expression flashed with slight surprise, probably because he hadn't expected Fang Yan to have a "secret formula research institute."

However, this also has its advantages for them, as the dialect provides them with regular and customized health care. Although there are quite a few doctors in their area, they are mostly Western doctors.

At the China Academy of Engineering Physics, most people are more accepting of Western medicine, mainly because they think traditional Chinese medicine is too mysterious, and many TCM doctors can't even explain how they treat patients.

That is, the dialect can now be used to explain the treatment approach clearly and understandably.

Let these top scientists understand the treatment approach of traditional Chinese medicine.

In a sense, dialects are free of any mystical elements. He explained traditional Chinese medicine to them clearly, and even folk remedies that seemed a bit far-fetched were explained in a way that everyone could believe.

For these scientists, being able to explain it clearly is very important.

Because scientists base their understanding on logical reasoning and positivism, they naturally harbor doubts about vague traditional theories such as "Yin-Yang and Five Elements".

He uses mechanical system analogies, such as comparing the liver meridian to a hydraulic oil circuit and the kidney yang to a heating boiler. He also breaks down the pathological mechanisms and transforms the TCM syndrome differentiation into a quantifiable engineering model.

By mapping the functions of the internal organs to physical systems, abstract concepts such as "cold and dampness" and "liver stagnation" are made concrete and observable variables, satisfying the requirements of scientists for repeatability and objective evidence chains.

For scientists, the interpretability of traditional Chinese medicine theory is essentially a cognitive revolution, transforming traditional experience into modern scientific language and satisfying their need for empirical evidence.

This is why they are now completely convinced, and it's not entirely due to the historical success of using dialects to treat illnesses.

It was the dialect that truly convinced them.

Chairman Qian smiled, glanced at the Vice Minister of Health and Fang Yan, then nodded and said:

"Okay, thank you for your concern, comrades from the Ministry of Health and Dr. Fang! We'll leave the health supplement to you!"

Upon hearing Chairman Qian's words, Fang Yan and the Vice Minister of Health both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Both of them were actually afraid of moving things too fast and being rejected.

"Rest assured, we will definitely maintain strict quality control and strive for the highest quality," the Vice Minister of Health assured Chairman Qian.

After speaking, he glanced at Fang Yan, who quickly nodded.

Chairman Qian smiled and nodded.

After the next six patients finished their consultations, it was time for them to leave. The group escorted Chairman Qian and the others to the parking lot, and Fang Yan gave them some instructions on medication safety and other precautions.

Then they were put into the car.

"Goodbye, everyone!" Fang Yan waved goodbye to the leaders and scientists.

Chairman Qian also told them that he would be bringing another group in a few days and would notify them in advance.

They readily agreed.

Once the car had left Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the Vice Minister of Health said to Fang Yan:

"Well done!"

The performance of the dialect team today was remarkable, and the vice minister was very satisfied. In particular, the fact that they provided the products of the Secret Formula Research Institute to the China Academy of Engineering Physics at the end was a stroke of genius.

When praised by his superiors, Fang Yan humbly smiled and said that it was all thanks to the superiors' excellent guidance and their crucial help that made the final decision.

The leader burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Although he said he was just saying it to help, it was obvious that he was secretly pleased.

That concludes today's consultations, and it's time to call it a day.

Before the event ended, the leader gave everyone a final reminder, praising the dialect and telling everyone that all news from today must be kept confidential.

The appearance, age, and illness of these people are kept secret.

If this is disclosed, those responsible will be held accountable.

When top leaders of the Ministry of Health speak, we should take it seriously.

They all agreed.

As they were preparing to leave, the leader suddenly inquired about He Puren from Fang Yan. Fang Yan then introduced Professor He Puren, who was standing beside her, to the leader. The leadership team when He Puren was sent abroad years ago was quite different from what it is now.

Because of the personnel changes, he was not quickly given an important position upon returning to China.

It was through the help of the local dialect that He Puren was able to re-establish contact with high-level leaders.

Upon learning that He Puren was about to become the deputy director of the "Secret Formula Research Institute," the deputy minister made demands regarding the institute's work.

Although the conversation consisted mostly of polite formalities, the fact that the leader was willing to take the initiative to communicate was enough to show that he had made an impression on He Puren.

He Puren was flattered and overwhelmed that he would get to show his face like this today.

I had a pleasant conversation with the leader.

I also learned that this leader was one of the backers of Fangyan and also one of the shareholders of the "company".

Before leaving, the leader asked Fang Yan to prepare for her meeting with Japanese Kampo doctor Keisetsu Otsuka over the weekend.

To ensure the success of this exchange, the higher-ups will also be accompanied by Fang Yan's mentor, Jiao Shude from the Central Health Care Group, Professor Wang Yuchuan and Professor Yue Meizhong from the school, and Professor Zhao Xiwu from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine—four big names in the field of traditional Chinese medicine to oversee and support him.

Hearing so many bigwigs in the audience, Fang Yan felt that the higher-ups valued Otsuka Keisetsu quite a bit.

However, he also asked his superiors to add another person.

The leader asked curiously:
"Who?"

He said in dialect:

"Comrade Ji Yao from the Palace Museum Research Institute."

Since we'll be asking Otsuka Keisetsu for something, Ji Yao, who understands history, is an important figure.

This person surprised the leader.

She explained her thoughts to him in dialect.

Although the leaders are not professionals in this area, they still strongly support what Fang Yan is doing.

The reason for having so many people backing up Fang Yan is to protect his interests and prevent him from being tricked by that old geezer, Keisetsu Otsuka.

If it reflects the thoughts and feelings of the people in the dialect, then that's even better.

So the leader immediately agreed, saying he would personally coordinate with the staff at the Palace Museum.

Others who witnessed this scene also remarked that dialects truly make a difference.

The fact that the leader shows such favoritism is something that not everyone can have.

Of course, this is also something he earned through his abilities.

After the leaders left, the dean invited everyone to lunch to celebrate the successful completion of the day's work.

It's already past eleven o'clock, almost lunchtime.

Next, Fang Yan will also need to organize the liver-protecting pills.

Others also joined the discussion.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang. After a discussion, Lao Liu, Lao He, and several other students actually managed to come up with some remedies.

Liver-soothing and mood-regulating formula: Xiaoyao Shugan Wan, based on Xiaoyao San from the "Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang".

For liver-soothing and blood pressure-lowering drugs: Gastrodia and Uncaria Sinensis Slow-Rele

Liver-protecting and detoxifying: Yin Zhi Shen Qi Liver-Protecting Pills

In addition to these three, there is also a medicinal and edible product suitable for researchers who face high pressure and stay up late: Chrysanthemum Tea Glycoside Granules.

Finally, Fang Yan looked at the ear patches provided by the Huaxia Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The design is too ordinary; there's just a needle on the earpiece. It's an imitation of foreign products and lacks its own innovation.

The dialect suggests that some medicinal herbs can be added, such as Evodia rutaecarpa, magnetite, and borneol.

Evodia rutaecarpa guides the medicine to the liver meridian, magnetite regulates bioelectric signals, and borneol promotes transdermal absorption.

This way, the user experience will be much better.

I've written down my thoughts in this dialect, and I plan to have Lao He take it to Mr. Cheng this afternoon to give him feedback.

Next, Lao Liu made a suggestion to Fang Yan:

“I think the health maintenance methods you mentioned when you were treating them are very good. I think you should just publish a book to popularize daily health maintenance. I don’t need to publish it on the market, but you can give it to the staff of relevant organizations.”

Before Fang Yan could even finish speaking, Professor He Puren slapped his thigh:
"Yes, and then print the name of our secret formula research institute on it, along with the names of those health supplements we just mentioned, and also recommend our products!"

P.S.: Wow, the posting time is amazing! I've gained 1200 more monthly votes, and I still owe you 24000 words, for a total of 46000 words.

There will be more updates this afternoon.
