Chapter 763: Hemp Boils
Lin Yuan could only hold these words in his stomach, because he really didn't want to hurt this old man. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Old Zhou, this is a matter in your family, and the younger generation doesn't dare to say anything. However, Zhou Lao, forgive the arrogance of the younger generation, Chinese medicine has been developed for a long time since ancient times, and nothing is a golden rule. I think some of Brother Zhou's ideas may not be wrong, I hope you and Brother Zhou's father and son will communicate well, and it is best to give Brother Zhou a chance to explain. ”
Zhou Chuanting waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't mention this." Anyway, my old man won't live for a few days, who can control the affairs behind him? Xiaolin, I asked you to come here, in fact, I have something to discuss with you. ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It's okay for the seniors to say, as long as the juniors can do it, they will definitely do their best." ”
"I'm not asking you to do something, but I'm asking you something. Xiaolin, you know that hemp is boiling, right?"
Lin Yuan was stunned, Ma Boiling Powder is too prestigious, and anyone who studies Chinese medicine, even if it is not highly educated, will have heard of this name.
In the general definition, Ma Boiling is associated with Hua Tuo, a divine doctor in the Three Kingdoms period.
Why is it a general definition? Because in the understanding of Chinese medicine, hemp boiling is the anesthetic used in the earliest surgical operations in China.
There is such a record in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty * Hua Tuo Biography": "If the disease occurs inside, and the acupuncture and medicine cannot reach, it is ordered to boil and boil with wine, and he is extremely drunk and unconscious, because he breaks his abdomen and back, and accumulates by cutting and cutting." ”
The accumulation here is what today is called a tumor or something like that. This account is a very vivid surgical process.
Lin Yuan clearly remembered that in a TV series with Hua Tuo as the theme, Hua Tuo took his young son Fei'er to the mountain to collect medicine, but Fei'er died of eating wild fruits by mistake.
Hua Tuo tried the fruit that his son ate and found that although this thing was poisonous, as long as it was properly controlled, it had a good anesthetic effect on the human body.
Therefore, on this basis, Hua Tuo devoted himself to developing a powder, which can cause deep anesthesia and have no big side effects on people.
This powder is a good medicine to relieve pain for people who have undergone surgical procedures.
Because the young child boiled the child to trigger this prescription, it was named Ma Boiling Powder by Hua Tuo.
Of course, this is all the artistic processing of film and television works, and it is impossible to study what the real situation is.
Later, Emperor Cao Cao of Wei had an attack because of an migraine, so he asked Hua Tuo to be treated, and Hua Tuo's diagnosis was that Cao Cao had a tumor in his brain, and Cao Cao was recommended to have a craniotomy.
This made Cao Cao suspect that Hua Tuo was here to murder him, and put Hua Tuo in prison.
Hua Tuo knew that he would die, so he handed over the green beetle book he had learned in his life to the jailer. As a result, the jailer's wife burned the medical book, and said to the jailer that even if the medical skills are like Hua Tuo, the consequences are not the same as death?
It is said that the formula for hemp boiling powder is in this medical book that was burned.
According to research, later generations have speculated two prescriptions.
One is composed of mandala flowers, Angelica dahurica, Shengcao Wu, Angelica sinensis, and Chuanxiong extremely medicinal materials. The other is composed of sheep's heel, jasmine root, angelica, and calamus.
But these two prescriptions are not the original prescriptions for Hua Tuo Ma to boil.
In addition, there is another voice in the Chinese medicine community, which believes that Ma Boiling Powder was not created by Hua Tuo, but a prescription obtained by Hua Tuo by inheriting the achievements of his predecessors.
The basis for this statement is that Bian Que, a miracle doctor who recorded the results of the war, once performed a surgical operation to exchange his heart. These two patients were knocked unconscious by drinking a kind of poisonous wine, and Bian Que performed the operation.
The effect of Ma Boiling Powder and this poisonous wine is so similar, it is possible that it is passed down in the same line. It is possible that Hua Tuo improved the formula of this poisonous liquor and formed the formula of Ma Boiling San.
These are all historical cases, and no one can come up with a convincing statement until now.
Lin Yuan was interested in why Zhou Chuanting had such an interest in Ma Bingsan.
"Old Zhou, there is something unknown to the younger generation. Although Ma Boiling Powder is famous, its symbolic meaning is much greater than its practical meaning. Contemporary Western medicine anesthesia, the effect seems to be not inferior to the boiling of numbness, the predecessors talked about this matter, but what is the deep meaning?"
"Kobayashi, you probably haven't had detailed contact with patients who have undergone anesthesia surgery from Western medicine. For example, testicular cancer patients, after undergoing surgery, wait for the strength of the anesthetic to pass, and the pain is, in their words, life is worse than death. There are a lot of patients who have solved this kind of pain. ”
Lin Yuan nodded, he knew this kind of thing. In some surgeries, you don't feel it during the operation, and when the anesthetic has passed, you will experience severe pain.
After all, anesthetics can't change the stress response of the muscles destroyed by surgery, and the pain of the stress response will come immediately after the drug is over.
Zhou Chuanting said: "After I came into contact with the pain of too many surgical patients, I paid attention to this aspect of things. Xiaolin, you are right, the anesthesia technology of Western medicine is indeed very systematic, but it is necessary to relieve pain after surgery, and the harm of Western medicine to the patient's body is too great. ”
Lin Yuan agrees with this.
After the operation, the patient's body is already extremely weak, and the pain of synthetic Western medicine is extremely damaging to the human body.
"What does Zhou Lao mean is that he wants to regain the ancient recipe of Ma Boiling and use this to anesthetize the patient?"
Zhou Chuanting sighed: "That's what I mean, the efficacy of Ma Boiling Powder is recorded in historical classics, and the Chinese medicine classics are also unknown. No one knows what kind of effect it is, but we must always think about what the patient thinks and develop something in this area, right?"
Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "Old Zhou, the effect of hemp boiling powder may not be better than Western medicine anesthetics, but we know that the harm of Chinese patent medicine to the human body is far less than that of Western medicine synthetic medicine. If Ma Boiling Powder can be applied to clinical practice, I dare not say anything else, and the harm to the patient's body should be reduced to a minimum. ”
"yes, sometimes, it's really embarrassing. It is said that when the United States was studying acupuncture, it discovered the analgesic effect of acupuncture and proposed whether it was possible to replace the anesthetic for surgery. Although it is still being studied, this kind of thinking is a shame for us TCM people. ”
Lin Yuan also sighed, in fact, not only traditional Chinese medicine, but also many traditional things, which were almost annihilated in China, but were excavated from that corner by foreigners, and some research and development made the traditional classics that almost disappeared bloom.
Especially South Korea and Japan, these two countries do not know how much valuable wealth they have drawn from the Chinese tradition, not only in terms of material interests, but also in terms of spiritual level.
Lin Yuan's heart suddenly moved: "Elder Zhou, you mean that you want to restore the hemp boiling and find a way to reduce the patient's pain and at the same time reduce the patient's physical injury." Zhou Lao, I think so, the more the human body is damaged and fatigued, the stronger the pain will be. On the basis of restoring the ancient prescription and adding the method of Fuyang and Fuzheng, can we further increase the patient's ability to resist pain?"
Zhou Chuanting's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "That's right, the pain itself is the patient's stress response, the more resistant the body is, the more tolerant the pain will increase, and correspondingly, it is equivalent to reducing the pain." That's why a strong person is more resistant to beatings than a weak one. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Chuanting stood up and paced back and forth, unable to hide his excitement: "I have been studying the prescription for hemp boiling for more than ten years, and one of the biggest puzzles is what is the practical significance of this thing replacing anesthetics, and now, I have figured it out." ”
Zhou Chuanting's dedication to Ma Boiling really frightened Lin Yuan.
In order to study the most primitive formula of Ma Boiling Powder, Zhou Chuanting specially went to Hua Tuo's hometown of Bozhou, from where it radiated outward little by little, Zhou Chuanting followed Hua Tuo's footprints to investigate, and found that different medicinal materials would be studied, whether it was the medicinal materials that Ma Boiling Powder should have.
For this reason, Zhou Chuanting tried hundreds of formulas, but once he didn't grasp the dosage well, and he fell asleep for three days at once.
Today, the hemp boiling powder developed by Zhou Chuanting can be compared with the effect of the original ancient formula, but he feels that this has no practical significance.
This is because the pain of the patient after surgery cannot be eliminated.
After listening to Lin Yuan's words, Zhou Chuanting suddenly became enlightened, the function of hemp boiling is similar to that of anesthetics, but the effects of the two are completely different.
Ma Boiling Powder does not have serious side effects on the body, that is, the pain of waking up after surgery is inevitable, but in terms of postoperative medication, Ma Boiling Powder is not known how many times stronger than anesthetics.
Zhou Chuanting was extremely excited, and after sitting down, he discussed with Lin Yuan the postoperative recovery medication.
Although Lin Yuan didn't want to disturb the old man's mood, he still said: "Old Zhou, this matter can be used as academic research, but if it can really be realized, I'm afraid it will not be feasible within ten years." This matter should be discussed and demonstrated slowly as an academic topic for everyone's reference. ”
Zhou Chuanting's smile froze suddenly, he could understand what Lin Yuan said.
Clinical surgery is the most important event in contemporary medicine, which is closely related to human life, and all processes and medications are determined after long-term clinical trials.
Not to mention the long-standing prejudice between Chinese and Western medicine, even if the competent department wants to use a drug like Ma Boiling Powder for clinical use, it must first go through academic discussion, report for approval, and then clinical observation.
No matter how good your idea is and how perfect your plan is, this process is essential. There is nothing wrong with strict regulation at this point, because it involves human life.
When it comes to human life, whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it is a principle, and human life is as great as the sky.
