Chapter 624: Hospital Visit

While Ou Ye was researching mathematical problems, Shen Qi went to Yanda People's Hospital for a visit.

Whether it is a working day or a holiday, a tertiary hospital is always a busy place. Doctors are busy, and so are patients.

Shen Qi's friend, Professor Qu of Yan University School of Medicine, focuses on the research of anemia diseases, and Professor Qu and several students are doing research on a rare anemia drug.

Type R anemia is a rare disease, and only 14 patients were selected for clinical trials in Prof. Qu's group.

These patients are treated with subcutaneous injections and oral therapy over a four-week period.

Shen Qi noticed that the 14 patients with type R anemia were all emaciated, pale, and lacklustre, the oldest of whom was 66 years old, and the youngest was only 16 years old.

The oral medicine the patient was taking was a capsule that was sold by the international pharmaceutical giant GLK.

This kind of capsule has been on the market, and Ou Ye is taking this medicine, which is expensive to death, but fortunately, he has entered the medical insurance.

Prof. Qu's group is working to study the mechanism of the capsules produced by GLK in the treatment of type R anemia, and they have achieved a third course of treatment for these 14 patients.

"Lao Qu, what's the matter?" Shen Qi asked with concern.

"A bit of progress. Professor Qu handed Shen Qi a document and said, "You wait for me for a while, you can also talk to the patient, and I'll wash my hands." ”

Shen Qi took the document: "Go ahead." ”

It is very necessary for doctors to wash their hands, one is to protect themselves, and the other is to protect the patient.

Professor Wat is a medical expert who mainly does scientific research, and he has long since ceased to operate on the operating table.

But people who study medicine have a habit of washing their hands, and they wash their hands constantly. There was almost no hair on the back of the healer's hands, and they were all bald.

Shen Qi flipped through the documents in Professor Qu's office, and the "little progress" that Lao Qu just said was one-sided for Shen Qi, and the research group of Lao Qu made progress on the mechanism of this capsule produced by GLK, but the real cause of type R anemia is still in the exploration stage.

Most of the symptoms of type R anemia are similar, but the causes are varied, including genetic mutations, drugs, and immune diseases...... And so on and so forth.

At present, it is certain that R anemia is not a congenital genetic disease, it is very different from thalassemia and Fanconi anemia.

To develop a drug, the first step is to find the target, followed by compound synthesis, pharmacokinetic analysis, and subsequent clinical trials.

Ou Ye suffers from this type R anemia, and Shen Qi has already figured out the cause of her illness.

Ouye is fortunate in her misfortune because of her immune disease that caused type R anemia during the onset of the disease.

Fortunately, there is no gene mutation in Ouye, and the diseases caused by gene mutations can be passed on to future generations.

Shen Qi quickly read the data records of 14 patients in three courses of treatment, and the data showed that the R anemia capsules produced by GLK still have certain efficacy, which can be said to be the best R anemia drugs in the world.

The word best should be put in quotation marks, "best" is relative, this capsule can only alleviate the disease, not cure it.

Shen Qi is the most vocal person, his wife has eaten this imported medicine for many years, and she can't cure the disease if she can't die, she will be miserable if she is alive, and she will not dare if she is dead.

But we should not give up hope, at least Shen Qi did not give up hope.

Shen Qi put on a white coat, walked out of the office, and went to the ward.

The data shows that the cause of the disease of this patient in the second bed is somewhat similar to that of Ouye.

The second patient was a 47-year-old man who owned a pig farm and raised hundreds of pigs. The so-called free-range pigs are not captive but free-range.

The meat quality of free-range pigs is of course better than that of captive pigs, and the price is also more expensive. The owner of the pig farm used to be very beautiful, he held a long whip, commanded the pigs, galloped through the field, and became rich.

Since suffering from R-type anemia, this pig boss has suffered physically and mentally, and the burly man of more than 200 pounds is now less than 100 pounds, and it is hard for you to imagine what he has experienced.

Shen Qi's white coat pocket was full of pens, he put on a pair of black-framed glasses without a prescription, and walked to the boss's hospital bed with a folder, looking confident and professional as if he were an attending physician: "Zhang Dahu, after three courses of treatment, the proliferation and differentiation of T and B lymphocytes have been promoted, and cytokines and immune molecules have been stimulated to a certain extent. In other words, your condition is under control, which is good news. How's it going, how are you feeling these days?"

The vast majority of patients do not understand the medical jargon in the doctor's mouth, nor can they read the doctor's handwriting.

It doesn't matter, the important thing is that the doctor says you're still saved, that's good news.

Zhang Dahu looked at Shen Qi suspiciously: "What about Dr. Qu? You're new here, right? No, you're not an intern, which doctor are you?"

"My surname is Shen, I graduated with a Ph.D., and I am Professor Qu's assistant. Shen Qi introduced himself.

"Hello Dr. Shen. Zhang Dahu squeezed out a reluctant smile, he didn't know Shen Qi who was wearing glasses.

"Hey, I'm sick, injections and medicine don't work, I have to have a blood transfusion! But you don't let me have a blood transfusion, saying that blood transfusions are not allowed during the course of treatment. Doctor Shen, I don't understand what cells and molecules you are talking about, I am just a pig farmer, a big old man, you ask me if I am feeling good lately? No, very bad, especially bad! I want a blood transfusion!" Zhang Dahu suddenly became excited as he spoke, and his originally pale face showed a sickly blood red.

Shen Qi wrote down some content on the record paper, and then patiently persuaded: "Your disease is best treated by oral medicine and injections, please believe in our professionalism." ”

Zhang Dahu's physical condition was extremely weak, he was very tired after he was excited, and he said weakly: "Actually, I am still very grateful to you, before I came to your hospital, I couldn't even get out of bed, and now I can at least walk around the hospital." I just can't figure it out, how can I get anemia, or rare anemia. ”

"There's something wrong with your immune system, and maybe you didn't notice it when you were busy at work. Immune system disorders have a certain chance of triggering R anemia during the onset of the disease, which is the main reason why you develop this rare disease. All in all, I hope that you will actively cooperate with the treatment, new target drugs are also being developed, and it is very promising that R anemia will be completely cured, and the hope will not come too long. ”

"Doctor Shen, I believe you, I believe you Yanda People's Hospital. But I really want to be discharged from the hospital, my mother-in-law, she doesn't know how to raise pigs. I couldn't see my pigs, I was panicked and empty. ”

"Lao Zhang, I understand your dedication very well, but your current physical condition has to be recuperated at home after being discharged from the hospital. Therefore, it is still the same sentence, actively cooperate with our full course of treatment, and health is the basic guarantee of everything else. ”
