Chapter 099: Prions Collected
“......”
Seeing the situation in Zhang Yuwen's clothes, Zhou Wen felt a "buzzing" sound in his brain.
I couldn't accept this change for a while.
What kind of family is he targeting?
Zhang Yuwen has a women's clothing fetish, even if Liu Qin deliberately conceals it.
Gu Yifei, as a psychotherapist, if he can't grasp these situations, how can he prescribe the right medicine?
Also, didn't you say that you had major depression, but how did it become mild again?
He sighed a few times for Zhang Yuwen before, but he didn't expect to be a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions.
Rubbing her temples, she turned her head and glanced at Liu Qin, her face and eyes were full of deep helplessness and self-blame.
If it was before, Zhou Wen would have understood her expression as guilt, but now, what this woman is thinking, I'm afraid only she knows.
Seeing that Gu Yifei was still telling stories to Zhang Yuwen, Zhou Wen stepped forward and smashed his back.
Gu Yifei turned his head and glanced at him suspiciously.
Zhou Wen said: "You come out with me." ”
Gu Yifei reached out and stroked the little civet cat on Zhang Yuwen's knee, got up and walked out of the room with Zhou Wen.
Coming to the balcony of the living room, Zhou Wen put his arm around Gu Yifei's shoulders and asked in a low voice, "Don't you see what's wrong with this Zhang Yuwen?"
Gu Yifei said strangely: "No, what's wrong?"
Zhou Wen reached out and touched his Adam's apple: "He has an Adam's apple." ”
Gu Yifei's eyes widened instantly, and they were full of horror, "...... Are you wrong, why didn't I see it?"
Zhou Wen shook his head and asked, "Let me ask you, is he hanging up in the hospital outpatient department? Have you ever seen her medical record card?"
Liu Qin made an appointment online, and I only looked at the drugs prescribed by the hospital, not the medical record card. ”
"I knew it was right. ”
Gu Yifei opened a Weixin public expert account to receive offline psychological counseling, door-to-door treatment and other services. Of course, only locally in Jiangzhou.
Because it is mainly to reach out to more cases and improve the level of professionalism, the fee is very low, and according to Gu Yifei, the appointment of patients has been lined up for two months.
Gu Yifei was still a little unbelievable, the girl he had treated for a month was actually a boy?
"Uh...... Even if it's a boy, but he really has to be depressed. ”
Zhou Wen said: "I know, but Liu Qin hid her daughter...... The true gender of her son, then what she said before is not very credible.
She told you that Zhang Yuwen was depressed because of the pressure of studying, but I suspect that Zhang Yuwen was discouraged because of his long-term male disguise, which eventually led to depression. ”
"Well...... this"
Zhou Wen: "The treatment is based on mutual understanding and respect, you don't know him at all now, and his mother doesn't tell you the truth, I don't think this kind of treatment is meaningful." Withdraw. ”
Gu Yifei hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "Anyway, I am a psychotherapist, and I can't leave my patients alone." ”
"What a dead eye...... I'm telling you, a good person like you can't survive three episodes in an online novel. ”
......
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after Zhou Wen returned to the testing center, he helped Hou Baoguo do another test.
Unexpectedly, this time, in his urine, "aggregate abnormal prion protein" was found.
Zhou Wen was immediately ecstatic.
Although we know that it is only a matter of time before prion proteins are extracted, until they are actually extracted, everything is empty talk.
Before leaving, he found that Hou Baoguo had brewed a cup of strong wolfberry tea in the thermos cup on the bedside table.
"Let's rest for two days......"
When Zhou Wenxing rushed to the virus laboratory on the fourth floor, he happened to see Zhang Shuguang and Yang Liqun in the office.
The two men were leaning head to head against each other, looking at the computer to study something.
Zhou Wen came to the sterile laboratory, put the extracted prion protein into the ultra-low temperature freezer, and returned to the office.
Zhou Wen smiled and said, "Zhang Group, Yang Group, what are you doing?"
"You're just in time, come and see how this paper is......" Zhang Shuguang beckoned.
"What?" Zhou Wen walked over to look, and it turned out that the two of them were reading a paper on prion-induced demia.
But Zhou Wen read it, how to say the level of this paper...... It's really too watery, it's just a mountain of gold.
It's not on the same level at all with Howard Coney, the Belgian prion research expert.
It's called a brain hole, and this paper doesn't even make sense of the logical order, let alone the novelty.
"Who wrote this paper, it's just nonsense~"
After Zhou Wen finished speaking, he found that Zhang Shuguang and Yang Liqun were staring at him directly.
Zhou Wen said strangely: "What's the matter, look at what I'm doing, it's really bullshit that I write." ”
Zhang Shuguang said faintly: "I wrote this paper. ”
"Ah, it turned out that you wrote it by Zhang Group......" Zhou Wen almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
"Ah, yes, what's wrong?"
"This, this, this...... Actually, the structure of this paper is a bit loose at a glance, but if you look closely, you will find that it describes the method of prion inactivation from a new perspective, which is very valuable......"
"Okay, okay~" Zhang Shuguang waved his hand, "You're right, it's really bullshit." ”
Zhou Wen said with a serious face: "Don't say that, Zhang Group, just now I looked at the paper from a traditional perspective;
But prions are special proteins that have a normal protein conformation.
They are strange, they don't even have a three-dimensional structure until now, and any experimental conjecture with an exploratory spirit is worthy of affirmation!"
After a pause, Zhou Wen said with a serious face: "I want to do a self-examination here, I think I lack innovation in academics, I think I am conservative, and I don't have the ability to be flexible......"
Yang Liqun laughed, "It is worthy of being the youngest biological expert in our Eastern Jiangsu Province, and this sycophant is also a set." I almost believed it. ”
Zhang Shuguang couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, okay......"
After laughing for a while, Zhang Shuguang said bluntly: "I want to use the names of the three of us to get a paper out first and stabilize the hospital and the CDC, otherwise we will definitely not be allowed to continue researching." ”
Yang Liqun nodded in agreement.
Zhou Wen nodded in agreement, and then changed the conversation and said: "What Zhang Group and Yang Group said is right, I have been trying for the past two days to see if prions can be detected in Hou Baoguo's body fluids, blood, and feces?"
When Yang Liqun and Zhang Shuguang heard this, they both had speechless expressions.
They just wanted to say that Zhou Wen was talented in virus research, and asked him to work harder, and in the blink of an eye, he said such whimsical words.
Prions are mainly transmitted through hereditary ones, such as familial prions;
There are also iatrogenic ones, such as corneal transplantation, implantation of electroencephalogram electrodes, inadvertent use of contaminated surgical instruments, and injections of growth hormone taken from the human pituitary gland.
With the development of medicine, iatrogenic is now basically impossible.
There is also a type of ingestion that eats brain tissue infected with prions.
In other cases, prion collection is not possible.
If a normal blood test or urine test can extract prions, it is a very scary thing.
Unlike other viruses, prions are highly resistant to all the physical and chemical factors that kill viruses.
None of the current disinfection methods are ineffective and can only be inactivated at a high temperature of 136°C and high pressure for two hours.
Initial diagnosis is also difficult.
Prion proteins exist in normal human and animal cells, but under the action of unknown reasons, its three-dimensional structure changes and becomes an infectious protein, and the patient does not produce immune response and antibodies, and cannot use antibodies for detection.
Therefore, the incubation period is long, with an average of 28 years from infection to onset, with a minimum of 2 years, and a mortality rate of 100%.
Hou Baoguo is a special case, the time span is a little longer, but in the near future it is also 100% dead.
Because of the nature of prions, if prions can be detected by routine testing, it means that there is a possibility of universal contagion, even if this is extremely small, it can cause a huge shock.
Zhang Shuguang and Yang Liqun didn't take it seriously as if Zhou Wen was talking about it.
The two continued to discuss, should the paper be revised, or should it be directly rewritten?
As for Zhou Wen, he slipped away directly.
Don't ask him, it's the level of SCI......
Zhang Shuguang and Yang Liqun's words reminded Zhou Wen.
Originally, he just wanted to rely on prions to publish some papers to complete the task.
But just now it occurred to him that this was an opportunity.
A good opportunity to "stand on your own".
Zhang Shuguang and Yang Liqun only applied for prion research funds, which were temporary, and did not set up a special research group.
That's why the CDC just wanted to withdraw.
If the news of his prion extraction through conventional methods is released, it will definitely attract huge attention at that time, and Jiangzhou Hospital will also become a key unit in domestic prions.
It is of great help to the overall prestige of the hospital.
Then apply for the establishment of a prion research group, or even a research institute, and the leaders above will most likely agree......
In the afternoon, Zhou Wen was in his office researching the latest foreign prion data and literature.
In the evening, Shen Xue worked overtime, and Zhou Wen had dinner in the cafeteria.
I got home, took a shower, made a cup of tea, lit a cigarette, lay down on a recliner on the balcony, and opened the box......
