This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou (co-winner), 1.whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin, a 2.crucial new treatment 3.for malaria. Artemisinin 4. 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 from it. Artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria, and 5.is thought to save 100,000 lives a year in Africa alone.
Tu Youyou, a 6.committed and patient scientist, 7.was born in Ningbo, China, on 30 December 1930, and 8.graduated from Peking University Medical School in1955. After she graduated, she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. In 1967, the Chinese government formed a team of scientists 9.with the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria, and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers 10.chosen. In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, 11.where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. In 1969, she 12.became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review 13.ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease. Her team examined over 2,000 old medical texts, and 14. evaluated 280,000 plants for their medical 15.properties. From their research, they discovered and tested 380 16.distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments 17.that showed promise in the fight 18.against malaria.
One medical text from the fourth century suggested 19.using the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever. Tu’s team tested 20.a collection of dried wormwood leaves 21.but found no effect.They then tried 22.boiling fresh wormwood, and using the liquid 23.obtained from this to treat malaria, but this did not work 24.either.Their project 25.got stuck. 26.However, Tu Youyou would not 27.acknowledge defeat. She 28.analysed the medical texts again, and 29.by chance, she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood. She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood 30.apparently destroyed its medical properties.
Using a lower temperature to 31.draw out the extract, she found a substance 32.that worked. After 33.failing more than 190 times, the team finally 34.succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members even 35.insisted on testing the medicine on 36.themselves to make sure that it was safe. Later, the medicine 37.was tested on malaria patients, most of 38.whom recovered. This medicine, 39.which was called artemisinin, soon became 40.a standard treatment for malaria.
According to Tu Youyou, the discovery of artemisinin was a 41.team effort. 42.Upon hearing that she 43.had been awarded the Nobel Prize, she said, “The honour is not just 44.mine. There is a team behind me, and all the people of my country. This success proves the great value of 45.traditional Chinese medicine. It is indeed an honour for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to 46.be spread around the world.”
