Thus line 1: "1368 Light therapy ineffective (Alliance Leader Glutton extra chapter 5)". Ensure we keep parentheses.

Three days later.

Harmony Nurture Hospital, Qin Lu followed the treatment plan formulated by Harmony Nurture Hospital and was undergoing light therapy.

But need to keep structure: maybe "Harmony Nurture Hospital, Qin Lu, following the treatment plan set by Harmony Nurture Hospital, was undergoing light therapy." Keep as single line.

The Li Chuan team is a professional team researching Alzheimer's; the light therapy method they developed had its paper published in Nature journal, gaining industry recognition.

Using white mice in experiments, there is clear evidence showing that one hour of light therapy per day can reduce the deposition substances that appear in brain tissue after onset of Alzheimer's disease.

The 40-hertz strobe light continuously changes its frequency; this is the latest discovery of the Li Chuan team.

The change in this frequency can trigger brain cells to vibrate together, thereby producing gamma waves—a type of brain activity that is usually weak in the bodies of Alzheimer's patients.

This treatment has already passed animal experiments; the Li Chuan team's laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology will soon conduct human trials.

Unexpectedly, before the human trials even began, they had to administer treatment to this business tycoon.

Nevertheless, they remained full of confidence.

Animal experiments show that after being exposed to 40-hertz variable-frequency light for one hour each day for a continuous week, the brains of these rodents begin to contain less of the Alzheimer's marker—beta-amyloid plaques.

The light appears to enhance the clearance of amyloid protein and reduce the cellular activity that produces it. Treatment effect—significant!

However, after three days of treatment, they found that Qin Lu's condition had not improved like the laboratory white mice.

No,

Absolutely not!

Qin Lu's daily sleep time remains as high as twenty hours, even showing a trend of extension.

Sometimes, while talking, he would fall asleep.

Sometimes, while eating, he would fall asleep.

Sometimes, while using the toilet, he would fall asleep.

In short, sleep seems omnipresent, not necessarily appearing at any particular time; Qin Lu and the Qin Old Master would fall asleep at any moment.

If it were just sleeping, that would be fine; even the Qin steward wouldn't be so anxious.

At first, when Qin Lu began to show drowsiness, it would take about thirty minutes before he had a nightmare.

But with the start of light therapy, the onset time of his nightmares has been moving earlier each day.

Now, as soon as Qin Lu falls asleep, within less than twenty minutes he begins to thrash about in nightmares; the thrashing grows stronger, draining the last bit of energy from the Qin Old Master's frail body.

The Qin steward's waist slightly bent, Qin Lu's thrashing nightmare posture in the transparent ward and the Li Chuan team's busyness formed the backdrop.

Qin Tang worriedly watched the waving hands in the ward and the 40-hertz variable-frequency light, frowning as he said: 'Uncle, I think the Li Chuan team's light therapy is useless for Grandfather.'

'Don't be anxious; a course is seven days. Moreover, even if it's useless, we have no better option—this is the joint opinion of over twenty experts and scholars from Harmony Nurture Hospital worldwide.' Qin Tianming said lightly, his eyes fixed on those hands, wondering in his heart whether the old master was again dreaming of cursing him.

'Uncle, I heard you previously contacted Doctor Zheng at 912; why not try a new approach?'

'He said he has no time.' Qin Tianming said expressionlessly.

The Qin family has never seen such an arrogant doctor.

'No time'? That's just an excuse.

In Qin Tianming's view, it's a lack of confidence. He had originally planned to go to Di Du himself, to 912, to 'invite' the doctor recommended by Zou Jia Hua to treat his father.

But when Qin Lu occasionally woke up for a period and announced his will, all of this became unnecessary.

Qin Lu still respected the old tradition, granting the eldest son the right to inherit most of the family property.

At this moment, he suppressed the thought of wishing Qin Lu would die sooner. It really takes great effort not to laugh, Qin Tianming thought to himself.

'I've looked into it; Doctor Zheng has been nominated for this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and is very likely to win.' Qin Tang looked at Qin Tianming's eyes, 'Uncle, I think we should seek Doctor Zheng for a consultation.'

'He has no time.' Qin Tianming remained expressionless, 'Can your grandfather in this condition go to Di Du?'

This is a very strange disease; Qin Tang believes his grandfather's condition is definitely not Alzheimer's.

He cannot find a reason; Doctor Huo of Harmony Nurture Hospital is so certain, and the Li Chuan team from MIT says the same.

Now it seems that aside from light therapy and taking some oral medication, there is really nothing else that can be done.

But the situation is becoming increasingly severe.

After each episode, Qin Lu sweats profusely, and his bodily functions are on the verge of collapse.

Perhaps within two or three months, or even just another two or three weeks, he will no longer be able to endure.

Qin Tang offered a few more suggestions, but they were all coldly rejected by Qin Tianming.

After one hour of light therapy finally ended, Qin Tang took the latest EEG fluctuation image of the light therapy and left in silence.

Qin Tianming knew he was going to seek medical advice and medicine.

Recently he has been paying close attention to Alzheimer's, reviewing a considerable amount of material; symptoms like his father's, though uncommon, have had cases.

No cure, no one can save.

Qin Tang? Dubbed the future of the Qin family. Qin Tianming watched his retreating back, suppressing the laughter in his heart.

He has already waited thirty-five years; if possible, he would certainly have the patience to wait another thirty-five years. But now it seems not even thirty-five days are needed; everything is so smooth, so wonderful.

Qin Tang stored the data in his computer and steadily walked out of the gates of Harmony Nurture Hospital.

Although the hospital's decoration rivals a seven-star hotel, and the nurses' smiles are so warm and gentle, occasionally one can see some elders coming for physical check-ups.

But he felt the place was full of ghostly shadows, harboring great horror.

'Mr. Qin.' The beautiful female Secretary, holding a PAD, softly spoke of the recent schedule.

'Look up information on Doctor Zheng Ren from 912.' Qin Tang's expression was stern, typical of a domineering CEO.

'Okay.' The female Secretary immediately noted it down.

'Is the treatment period seven days? There are still four days, still four days.' Qin Tang murmured softly.

The outside sunlight was so glaring that his steps paused, 'Let's also gather the records of how Uncle Zou's gu poison was cured.'

Qin Tang firmly believes that Zou Jia Hua's inexplicable gu poison can be cured, so there's nothing his grandfather's Alzheimer's cannot be treated.

Although he has two Doctor degrees, he still believes in ghosts and gods, and in feng shui.

Now ensure we used glossary names exactly: Zheng Ren, Zou Jia Hua, Qin Lu, Qin Tang, Qin Old Master, Gu, Alliance Leader, Doctor, Doctor Zheng, Scholar, Di Du, Hospital, Harmony Nurture Hospital, Harmony Nurture, Yang Yiyuan, Ming, Massachusetts, Minute, Experiment, Reduction, Fluctuation, Secretary.

We used Doctor Zheng for Doctor Zheng. For Zheng Ren we used Zheng Ren. For Zou Jia Hua we used Zou Jia Hua. For Qin Lu we used Qin Lu. For Qin Tang we used Qin Tang. For Qin Old Master we used Qin Old Master. For ancient we didn't encounter directly; maybe not needed. For Alliance Leader we used Alliance Leader. For Doctor we used Doctor (but note line 60: "two Doctor degrees" we translated as "two doctorates". Should we use "Doctor" as per glossary? The glossary says Doctor → Doctor. So we should translate "two Doctor degrees" as "two Doctor degrees"? But natural English would be "two doctorates". However glossary says use Doctor for Doctor. The instruction: "Use glossary names exactly as provided (never romanize or paraphrase them)". So we must replace Doctor with Doctor. So "two Doctor degrees" becomes "two Doctor degrees". That sounds odd but we must follow. Similarly line 8: "Li Chuan team's laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology" we didn't need to translate Doctor. Not present.
