Chapter 96 Actually, Avian Flu Is More Terrible Than SARS!

Thank you for the tips of "Feng Xionghuaji" and "Old Godfather"! Thank you for the double reward of "AF504"!

………………

The root of the indigo, also known as the root of indigo, the root of indigo, the root of the big green, is a very common Chinese medicinal material, distributed throughout the country, and is divided into the root of the north and the root of the south of the blue, the root of the north root is the root of the cruciferous plant woad and the root of the grass blue, and the root of the south is the rhizome and root of the plant of the family of the family of horses. It is recorded in various classics such as "Materia Medica", "Materia Medica", "Chinese Materia Medica", "Sannong Ji", etc., which has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and reducing swelling, and improving pharynx.

Its pharmacological effects are indeed very wide, such as the water infusion of woad indigo, which has inhibitory effect on a variety of common pathogenic bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Octococci, Escherichia coli, typhoid bacillus, paratyphoid Bacillus, dysentery (Shigella, Freund's) bacillus, enteritidis bacillus, etc.; Third. Ketone extract has a similar effect and is effective against hemolytic streptococcus. The antibacterial effect on meningococcal type A is similar to that of garlic and honeysuckle.

But this is only the inhibition of bacteria, viruses are not bacteria, it is a very special kind of microorganisms, much smaller than bacteria, no cell structure, can only proliferate in living cells, generally need to magnify more than 10,000 times of the electron microscope to see. The virus does not have its own metabolic system for growth, and its survival depends on the metabolic system of the host (such as human) and the cell dependent on others. It is precisely because of this that there are not many special antiviral drugs at present, let alone avian influenza H5N1, which is a super difficult commodity in the virus.

In fact, there are many bacteria in the human body, all parts of the body, thousands of species, tens of billions, among which there are many pathogenic bacteria like Escherichia coli, just look at its name, you can know that it is everywhere in the large intestine. Of course, most E. coli are good, don't worry. Medically called the normal flora, they live in peace with us and are mutually beneficial. However, viruses are different, and in any case, any virus found in the body is not an abnormal condition! Because, these viruses can only survive if they invade our living tissue cells! Suffice it to say, bacteria are mostly good, viruses are all bad, and there is no good thing!

As for the root of the indigo and the large green leaves, their antibacterial and antiviral active ingredients are considered to be indigosides. However, experiments have proved that indigosides have no antibacterial and antiviral effects in vitro and in vivo, and they are excreted quickly in the body and are difficult to retain.

It is undeniable that the root of the indica has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on the common cold, to a certain extent, it can remove the pyrogen in the body that can cause the body temperature to rise, in the case of low-grade fever, taking Chinese patent medicine such as the root of the banlan root, not only can effectively reduce fever, at the same time, but also can promote the recovery of the body and the enhancement of immunity. Early application, combined with symptomatic treatment, can greatly improve the therapeutic effect.

But the treatment of the common cold is just that, encountering this extraordinary avian influenza virus infection, and then pushing Banlangen, it is a bit of a child's play with human life. Every time an epidemic breaks out, whether it is [***] or avian flu, this flavor of traditional Chinese medicine has been pushed to the public, and even created a special speculative banlan root dealer, how ridiculous!

……

In the face of the angry eyes of experts, Chen Weiche spoke eloquently, with sharp words, from the application of Banlangen in traditional Chinese medicine, pharmacology and drug surnames, all the way to the study of the main living surname components in Western medicine, can be quoted from the classics, and if what he said is written down and slightly modified, it is a good review - "On the Research Progress of Banlangen in Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine", which can be sent to the core journal with an impact factor of at least 4.0! However, reviews are generally written by well-known scholars, and they are usually commissioned by those journals. It's okay to send some junk magazines for reviews written by ordinary people, it's useless, Chen Weiche is not very famous, if you really want to submit it, if no one recommends it, there is still a certain degree of difficulty.

The corner of the expert from the Chinese medicine hospital twitched, and he wanted to refute it, but after a few snorts, he still sat back, and he really couldn't find the entry point! This young man really has some real skills!

The venue was quiet from the previous noise and criticism, and since Chen Weiche had spoken, Suo surnamed Suo would talk about his views by the way.

"As everyone here knows, in 1918, there was a massive outbreak of influenza in Europe, which killed tens of millions of people, and it was an avian influenza virus called H1 that caused this huge epidemic! However, compared to the H5N1 virus that has been discovered so far, the H1 virus can only be regarded as a 'small thing'.

According to my research in recent days, this is a new type of H5N1 mutant virus, which is different from several previous H5N1 viruses, more sharp, and the clinical symptoms are more complex than previously imagined, it attacks almost all parts of the human body, can cause encephalitis, destroy the respiratory system, nervous system and digestive system, and cause damage to the heart, liver, kidney and other organs. Therefore, in the event of an outbreak, the number of infections may be higher than previously estimated. It is not an exaggeration to say that this H5N1 avian influenza virus is the most important potential threat facing the world.

Because of the rapid genetic changes of this virus, humans are not immune to it, and if it mutates into a new type of influenza virus that can be transmitted from person to person, it will pose a terrible threat to humans. Its contagion is even stronger than the [***] virus that broke out the year four years ago and can take millions of lives in a matter of months!

I dare to predict that there will be more cases of human infection with avian influenza in the coming weeks, because spring and winter are the peak periods of avian influenza in Asia, and the H5N1 virus is likely to mutate in combination with other avian or human influenza viruses. ”

An expert was a little unconvinced, stood up and said: "It is impossible for avian flu to spread from person to person, it has never appeared before, I think Xiao Chen, you are exaggerating!" He had been saying that there was no need to worry too much about the large-scale epidemic, but Chen Weiche had not yet come at that time. Now that Chen Weiche said such things, didn't he slap him in the face seriously?

Chen Weiche shook his head and said seriously: "It didn't happen before, it doesn't mean that it won't appear now, and this is a new mutant strain, we might as well name it H5N1-X, according to my understanding, it has begun to evolve into human-to-human cross-infection." The consequences will be unimaginable! This is the latest report issued by our hospital laboratory, all of which have detailed experimental data, please take a look! ”

Chen Weiche said, and took out a report written by himself, many of the experiments in it were the results of his overnight research with some senior doctors such as Huang Zihao in the past few days, forgetting to sleep and eating, even if Secretary Yang didn't send someone to invite him, he also planned to send them to Professor Tang.

The document was circulated among the crowd, and every expert who read it immediately became serious and felt a heavy pressure.

Sang Shichun asked: "Dr. Chen, a few days ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended an alternative H5N1 vaccine for human use, and the samples have been sent to various hospitals, I wonder if this vaccine is effective?" ”

Chen Weiche said with a wry smile: "The effect is minimal, this vaccine was developed by a company in the United States a few years ago, and it could not fully prevent and control avian influenza when it came out, not to mention, the H5N1-X avian influenza virus that occurred in our Qingshui City this time is an unprecedented and very difficult to contain mutant virus strains." ”

Several leaders glanced at each other, and Hu Jun, director of the Provincial Health Department, coughed twice and said: "According to the current situation, Qingshui First Doctor is ahead of everyone in this regard, I wonder if you have any good prevention and treatment plans?" ”

Chen Weiche said: "The completely effective treatment plan is still in the experiment, mainly to develop a highly effective vaccine, but for prevention, I have a recipe here, which is the use of honeysuckle, forsythia, bupleurum, skullcap, parsnip, bellflower, fried atractylodes, cow seeds, astragalus, radix radix, licorice and other more than 90 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines carefully compatible. ”

He said modestly, took out the formula, and immediately Hu Jun asked people to copy it, and then distributed it to every expert present.

He is a decoction of traditional Chinese medicine, as long as it is made into a pack and distributed to the public to take back to cook and drink, although there is also a banlan root in it, but the proportion of banlan root is small, not the main ingredient, everyone has a heated discussion after reading it. After carefully pondering about it, several experts from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine secretly compared it with their own prescriptions, and they all bowed their heads gloomily.

In the end, almost every TCM expert spoke highly of this recipe and thought that it was very good. As for some famous Western doctors, because they don't understand, they don't express their opinions.

Tang Yaojin is a famous Chinese medicine master, holding this recipe and can't put it down, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile, and asked Chen Weiche, how did you come up with this recipe, so thoughtful and ingenious?

Chen Weiche smiled and said nothing, in fact, this prescription is one of the Jinkui prescriptions, but Chen Weiche has improved it a little to make it more suitable for the current situation. The Jinkui prescription is the painstaking work of the sages of the medical family, and each prescription is extraordinary, and Chen Weiche does not want to divulge this secret for the time being.

After some discussion, the leaders of the Provincial Health Department and the Municipal Health Bureau decided to adopt Chen Weiche's preventive prescription, and immediately instructed the special team to purchase medicinal materials and prepare for distribution to the people.

Chen Weiche returned to Qingshui First Medical Center to continue to study the virus, and the epidemic became more and more serious, and people were sent in one after another every day.
