TU YOUYOU AWARDED NOBEL PRIZE
6 October 2015
This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou (cowinner), whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin①, a crucial② new treatment for malaria③. Artemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and has led to improved health for millions of people. Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year, and about 600,000 die from④ it. Artemisinin has become a vital⑤ part of the treatment for malaria, and is thought to save 100,000 lives a year in Africa alone.
Tu Youyou, a committed⑥ and patient scientist, was born in Ningbo, China, on 30 December 1930, and graduated from⑦ Peking University Medical School in 1955. After she graduated, she worked at the China Academy⑧of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. In 1967, the Chinese government formed a team of scientists with the objective⑨ of discovering a new treatment for malaria, and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers chosen. In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical⑩treatments for the disease.
Her team examined over 2,000 old medical texts, and evaluated⑪ 280,000 plants for their medical properties⑫. From their research, they discovered and tested 380 distinct⑬ ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria.
One medical text from the fourth century suggested using the extract⑭from sweet wormwood⑮ to treat a fever. Tu's team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect. They then tried boiling⑯ fresh wormwood, and using the liquid⑰ obtained⑱ from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either. Their project got stuck⑲ . However, Tu Youyou would not acknowledge⑳ defeat㉑. She analysed㉒ the medical texts again, and by chance㉓, she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood. She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently㉔ destroyed its medical properties. Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a substance㉕ that worked㉖. After failing more than 190 times, the team finally succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted on㉗ testing the medicine on themselves to make sure㉘ that it was safe. Later, the medicine was tested on malaria patients, most of whom recovered. This medicine,which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria.
According to㉙ Tu Youyou, the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort㉚. Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize, she said, “The honour is not just mine. There is a team behind me, and all the people of my country. This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine㉛. It is indeed an honour for China's scientific㉜ research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.”

屠呦呦获诺贝尔奖
2015年10月6日
今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予了屠呦呦(共同获奖者),她的研究促使了青蒿素的发现,一种至关重要的治疗疟疾的新疗法。青蒿素已经挽救了数十万人的生命,并改善了数百万人的健康状况。全世界每年有2亿多人感染疟疾,约60万人死于疟疾。青蒿素已成为治疗疟疾的重要组成部分,据说仅在非洲它一年就能挽救10万人的生命。
屠呦呦,一位坚定而有耐心的科学家,于1930年12月30日出生于中国宁波,1955年毕业于北京大学医学院。毕业后,她在北京的中国中医研究院工作。在1967年,中国政府组建了一支以探索治疗疟疾新方法为目的的科学家队伍,屠呦呦是其中首批入选的研究人员。在开始的时候,屠呦呦去了海南研究疟疾患者,在那里疟疾较为普遍。在1969年,她成为北京项目的负责人,并决定查阅中国古代医药文献,寻找这种疾病的传统植物疗法。
她的团队查阅了2 000多本古老的医药文献,并对280 000种植物的药用性能进行了评估。他们从研究中发现并测试了380种不同的中国古代疗法,这些疗法为抗击疟疾带来了希望。
一本四世纪的医药文献推荐使用青蒿提取物来治疗发烧。屠呦呦的团队测试了一批干青蒿,但没有发现效果。然后,他们试着煮新鲜的青蒿,并使用从中获取的液体来治疗疟疾,但这也不起作用。他们的项目陷入了困境。然而,屠呦呦并不承认失败。她再次分析了医药文献,偶然间,她发现了一句话,推荐用另一种方法来处理青蒿。她得出结论,煮青蒿显然破坏了它的药性。她用较低的温度提取提取物,发现了一种有效的物质。在失败了190多次之后,这个团队终于在1971年成功了。屠呦呦和她的团队成员甚至坚持在自己身上测试药物,以确保它是安全的。后来,这种药物在疟疾患者身上进行了测试,大部分疟疾患者都康复了。这种被称为青蒿素的药物很快成为治疗疟疾的标准药物。
据屠呦呦所说,青蒿素的发现是一个团队努力的结果。当听到自己被授予诺贝尔奖时,她说:“这个荣誉不只属于我。在我身后有一个团队,还有我的国家的全体人民。这一成功证明了中医的巨大价值。中国的科学研究和中医药能在全世界传播确实是一种荣幸。”
