Chapter 272: I'm Dying
Dr. Pascal tried to trick Brune into paying for the mNGS test himself. Dr. Brunn, on the other hand, was puzzled, and seemed to want to try to test it once - but the price of mNGS testing was a bit expensive, to the point that Dr. Brunn was a little "painful".
"If you want to publish an article, don't think you can save money!" Dr. Pascal said solemnly, "What's the point of being an mNGS? โ
Brune frowned and sighed, "I've never done this kind of research before. He suddenly said seriously to Dr. Pascal, "You've had at least your own lab before, or you'd send it." โ
"This kind of thing...... Huh?" Pascal didn't expect that his deception would end up causing trouble, which caught him off guard, "That's ...... This is the case you brought up first, it's okay, you can send it - I can help you!"
"That's better. Brunn said seriously, "Then please help pay for the mNGS test first." I'll give you back the money when I apply for the grant and the research project. โ
Dr. Pascal wanted to say something, but the expression on Brunn's face was no longer free, "Save it, old bastard, you want to pit my money for scientific research?" Bruun laughed, his voice full of confidence and smugness, "That's a bottomless pit! I said a long time ago, except for beer and meat, my money will only be used on motorcycles!"
Xu Yourong pushed open the door of the small conference room and said seriously to the two old men who were making faces and foaming at each other, "Actually, I think ...... That's a good idea. โ
Chen Wen's treatment is being actively prepared, and according to the advice given by experts in Shancheng and the time of the first postoperative recovery, it is estimated that she can be cured by Haifu Knife in the next year. The corresponding dissertation is also basically in the middle and late stages, and Dr. Pascal is also involved in the writing of this dissertation. Through immunological analysis, he believes that the course of Chen Wen's disease is suspicious - a simple pituitary tumor should not inhibit the behavior of dendritic cells to activate T cells for immunity. The course of Chen's illness seems to have entered the stage of chronic infection from the beginning, when the antigen released by the death of a large number of worms induces the body to induce the classical macrophage (M1) in the immune system to replace macrophages (M2). However, M2 has weak aggression against hydatid worms and has poor attack effect. This ultimately enables the immune evasion of hydatids.
As for why Chen Wen showed the characteristics of chronic infection in the early stage of infection, Dr. Pascal still has not been able to come up with an answer. But this does not affect the brilliance and rarity of the paper itself, not to mention that the treatment of cerebral hydatid worm by Haifu knife is originally a treatment method that foreigners have never seen. As long as there are no major problems with the subsequent treatments, and Dr. Pascal can further answer the immune mechanism, the paper is promising for publication in New England or The Lancet.
The following papers need to be further refined by treatment and experiments. This also means that Xu Yourong, as the "chief writer", is "not very busy" during this time. At least not too busy writing papers.
"You two, are you interested in writing a paper together?" Xu Yourong smiled at the two old men, "The kind with financial support." โ

Sun Lien sneezed in the ninth consultation room, and the weather has been a little colder lately. Even if you wear a down jacket, you often feel a little chill on your body.
"Doctor, brother, are you sick too?" The little boy who had just walked into the consultation room looked at Sun Lien with a wry smile and rubbed his nose, and nodded like an "adult", "My mother is also sick." โ
The young mother, who was already having a splitting headache, burst out laughing, she raised her hand and gently slapped her son's ass, "How did you talk?"
The little boy clutched his ass and stepped back into the corner, arguing at the same time, "But, but Mom, you're sick! Why would you come to the doctor?"
Sun Lien forced a smile and said to the young mother in front of him, "Where are you uncomfortable?"
"Xie Fei, female, 29 years old, left foot soft tissue contusion (01.15.22), left ankle ligament contusion (01.15.22), complete rupture of soleus muscle (01.15.22). โ
Xie Fei pointed to his left foot, "When I took the kids to play tonight, my high heels got stuck on the cover of the manhole...... It turned out to be a downhill ...... The heel of the high heel broke, and it twisted my foot, but now I don't dare to flatten my foot, and it hurts when I put it down. โ
Sun Lien thought about it, picked up the phone and called Xu Yourong to come over and prepare to do a check. After hanging up the phone, he asked carefully, "How long has it been a sprain?"
"About an hour. Xie Fei thought for a while and said, "The child's father is on night duty, and I don't want him to take leave to come over." After slowing down for a while, it was still difficult to walk, so I simply called and called a taxi. โ
"Dr. Sun. Xu Yourong quickly rushed to the ninth consultation room, "What's wrong?"
Sun Lien pointed at Xie Fei, "Female check, you can get started." He thought for a moment and added, "The main thing is to see if there is any muscle damage first......," he turned to Sheffield and asked, "When you sprained, did you hear any strange movements?
"Strange ...... Movement?" Xie Fei didn't quite understand what Sun Lien was asking, "It shouldn't be so, right? It's not very painful now." I can still bear it. โ
"Then there should be no broken bones. However, it is still necessary to take an X-ray after the muscle examination. Sun Lien was about to go for an inspection, but he heard Xu Yourong's soft voice.
"Give her another EMG. Xu Yourong didn't even ask Xie Fei to take off his shoes before he found out the problem, "Her soleus muscle is probably torn." โ
Sun Lien reached out and glanced at Xie Fei's left leg - there was a noticeable bulge on the right side of her calf, which looked quite obvious even when it was covered by leggings. Moreover, her left foot is always on tiptoe, even when she sits down.
"What's going on?" Xie Fei was conscious of her feet, but she didn't know that she had such a big bag bulging in her legs. Looking down at Xu Yourong's gaze, she noticed that her leg was actually swollen.
"Muscle fracture โ you could be total. Xu Yourong squatted down and looked at it, "The broken muscles will contract due to their own strength, and then form a curled up ball on the side that is not broken." โ
Sun Lien suddenly realized, "It's like the Popeye I saw before." โ
The little boy covering his little buttocks squatted down in the corner of the wall, saw his mother's legs through the lower edge of Xu Yourong's white coat, and then let out a small exclamation, "Oh my God!" He ran over with unsteady steps, grabbed his mother's hand with tears in his eyes, and asked cautiously, "It hurts, right?"
Xie Fei was amused by his son's movements, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt too much." She rubbed the child's head and asked with some distress, "What if...... What if it's completely broken? Do you have to put a plaster cast?"
Sun Lien shook his head, "If it's a complete fracture, then you have to have surgery." โ
The little boy was stunned, and then he cried before everyone else, "Wow! Mommy is dying!"
