1. The research results of biochemistry provide strong evidence for clinical medical work and create conditions for further study of the nature of life.
2. Physiological chemistry is to combine physiological problems with chemistry and explain physiological phenomena with chemistry. For example, gastric acid is hydrochloric acid, and the catalysis of enzymes in human body is a new subject developed in recent decades. Its development makes people understand life at the molecular level and has a great influence on medicine and other related biological disciplines.
3. Many medical diagnoses are based on chemical methods, such as the most common tests: the concentration of HCO3 in plasma can be determined by acid-base titration, and the nitrogen content in protein can also be determined. Of course, various instruments in the chemical field are more widely used for analysis, such as nuclear magnetic resonance and various chromatographic separation techniques.
4. The treatment of diseases is also inseparable from chemistry, such as chemotherapy and dialysis.
Extended data:
The physiological process of human body is a biochemical process, so chemistry constitutes the basis of medicine. As early as the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, there was a trend of convergence between medicine and chemistry. 1800, British chemist David discovered the anesthetic effect of nitrous oxide, and later discovered the more effective anesthetic effect of ether, making painless surgery possible.
Since then, many better anesthetics have been invented, such as procaine and other local anesthetics. 1932, German scientist Domagk discovered an azosulfonamide dye, which made a child suffering from bacterial septicemia recover. Take aspirin for example. It can be said that it is a chemical process to synthesize it and apply it to clinic.
Another example is the discovery of penicillin, which was discovered by scientists by chance. Today, all kinds of antibiotics with penicillin structure as the skeleton have come out one after another, which have made great contributions to people's health.
