Chapter 71 β-Phenylethylamine

"Congratulations, you have obtained ECG Basics (Part 2)!"

"Congratulations, you have obtained the basics of literature reading (Part 1)!"

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

The first book, Basics of Electrocardiography (Part 2).

Lu Chen knew this skill book very well.

The skill book he drew for the first time was Basics of Electrocardiography (Part 1).

This "medium" should be the advanced version.

But for this second skill book, Basics of Literature Reading, Lu Chen was a little confused.

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

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

I wonder if this skill book will be helpful for reading foreign literature?

You know, medical English is different from formal English.

There are too many medical terms that need to be memorized, and there are basically no rules.

The sentence structure and grammar of English documents are not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the extremely rare vocabulary!

To verify your ideas.

Lu Chen took out his mobile phone on the bedside and found an English document he had saved.

This document was recently published in Nat Commun magazine.

The title is "Cytotoxic CD8+T cells promote granzyme B-depengent adverse post-ischemic cardiac remodeling".

This document is very difficult. Lu Chen has been studying it for three days and can only initially understand the meaning of the surface text.

"call……"

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

When he read the first paragraph, he was stunned.

"Acute myocardial is a commom responsible for..."

The text information in English is transmitted into the mind.

but.

Chinese information was output directly!

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

It was as if Lu Chen was already familiar with this article, and there was no obstacle in 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 his understanding of this article now went beyond the surface meaning of the words.

It also gave me a deeper understanding of the experimental process and research conclusions!

“It can really improve your reading ability of foreign language documents!”

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

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

In particular, since medicine, almost all cutting-edge medical knowledge is in foreign literature.

Now with this kind of 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 for a brand new article.

One he had never read before.

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

"Very good!"

Lu Chen looked happy.

Sudden.

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

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

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

Now I have this skill book.

He might be able to find the "harmful ingredient" in it!

Just do it!

Lu Chen immediately opened the Douyin app.

Find the instructions for the "Fitness Dry Powder".

(The instructions will be placed in the comment area, and interested students can read them. They are all in English.)

There are many ingredients in dry fitness powder.

Lu Chen could only find the ingredients he was familiar with first, make sure 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 identified an ingredient in the dry fitness powder.

Beta-phenylethylamine!

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

This reminded Lu Chen of another phenylethylamine substance - alpha-methylphenylethylamine.

Sometimes written as amphetamine, it is a central nervous system stimulant used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, narcolepsy, and obesity.

Not many people know this name.

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

The crystalline form of the latter is commonly known as methamphetamine, or "pork" in slang.

It is a powerful central nervous system stimulant used primarily in drugs and occasionally to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obesity.

And their good brother, β-phenylethylamine, is approved for use in dietary health products and fitness supplements precisely because of a similar mechanism.

However, anyone who has studied medicine knows this.

Methamphetamine, if taken in high doses, can cause central nervous system stimulation leading to psychosis, rhabdomyolysis, generalized epilepsy and intracranial hemorrhage.

Overdose may also cause mild brain damage due to dopamine-activated and serotonin-activated neurotoxicity.

If these substances exist for a long time, they will have a continuous stimulating effect on the postsynaptic membrane and stimulate the central nervous system to continue to be excited.

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

Seeing this, the cause of "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-phenylethylamine!

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

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

"Guoguo, you just got off the night shift and you still haven't slept yet? You should write your paper tomorrow."

Liu Mei and Sun Guoguo are roommates.

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

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

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

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

"It's the thing that happened to us in District 8 last night." Sun Guoguo said helplessly, "We suspect that it happened after he ate this dry fitness powder, but we haven't found out the specific ingredients, so we can't draw a conclusion. "

Liu Mei raised her eyebrows.

"Just leave this to the School of Pharmacy to check. You can check it one by one yourself. When will it be checked?"

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

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

At this moment, Sun Guoguo said softly "Hey".

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

At this time, Sun Guoguo opened the email sent by Lu Chen with a puzzled expression.

Sun Guoguo was slightly stunned when he saw the content.

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

"Beta-phenylethylamine... stimulates the central nervous system to continue to be excited. It increases cardiac contractility, cardiac output, and heart rate. It also strengthens the contraction of blood vessels and increases blood pressure..."

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

Fortunately, I finally found the "harmful ingredient" in the dry fitness powder!

Surprisingly, it was Lu Chen who found this!

This kind of medicine instructions are all in English, UU Reading www. uukanshu.nt The ingredients are complex and the words are uncommon.

Even students majoring in pharmacy-related majors will have to analyze it 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 School of Pharmacy, it's Junior Brother Lu Chen!" Sun Guoguo said excitedly, "He found it!"

"Lu Chen? Is he that handsome guy from your team?" 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 instructor Li Yao.

"I thought he was very good at clinical practice, but I didn't expect him to be so good at academics." Liu Mei smiled, "Director Li really recruited good students this year."

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

Liu Mei spread her hands, smiled and left Sun Guoguo's room.

Sun Guoguo ignored Liu Mei.

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

Li Yao is in the office of the director of the eighth district in my heart.

I saw the email sent by Sun Guoguo immediately.

"β-Phenylethylamine? Is this it..."

The corners of Li Yao's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

A faint smile appeared on her originally aloof face.

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

He also received an email from Sun Guoguo.

A "counterattack" from the hospital began!
