Chapter Seventy-Nine: Manna and Sodium Bicarbonate

If you can't do the medication in the initial stage, you can see the mannitol in the oliguric period.

In fact, scientific experiments are about continuous trial and error, and it is a scientist's rationality to give up immediately when they find that it does not work, and to change their thinking.

"The formula for mannitol is C6H14O6, etc... I remember something that naturally produces this substance. ”

Ma Qiang remembered that it was kelp.

The hoarfrost on the kelp is mannitol!

These two drugs are really a complicated death, a simple death.

As for sodium bicarbonate, not to mention, it is baking soda, which can be obtained by carbonizing carbon dioxide in sodium carbonate and then separating and drying.

As for sodium carbonate, it can be reduced and carbonated at high temperature with miscanthus nitrate plus limestone and coal, and then leached, evaporated, refined, recrystallized, and dried.

This is not complicated, in the late eighteenth century in France began to use such a method to obtain soda ash.

As for the more convenient Hou's alkali production method, ammonia is required, and the manufacture and storage of ammonia cannot be done under the existing conditions.

Ma Qiang thought about it, summarized the treatment methods for this disease, then turned off his mobile phone, and then opened the door.

Xian Yufu, who was guarding outside, saw Ma Qiang come out and looked at him expectantly, Ma Qiang nodded and said, "Immediately gather all the doctors, officials and the children of the family who agreed before, I will give them a lesson in the morning in two days!" ”

"No!" Xian Yufu answered loudly.

Xian Yufu is very familiar with Ma Qiang's current smiling face, which is a manifestation of Ma Qiang's confidence in something.

Ma Qiang found Tian Liang again, and arched his hand and said, "Tian Xiancheng, please go and gather a few of the best jewelers, carpenters, and blacksmiths, I need to make something." ”

Although Tian Liang was a little confused, he still responded.

Ma Qiang squinted his eyes, the syringe can be made of wood or metal, the key is the needle, I hope that the skilled craftsmen of the Eastern Han Dynasty can solve this problem.

- Two days later

Dozens of healers sat in a room, talking anxiously to each other.

"I heard that the newly arrived prefectural order is going to teach us a lesson? Does he know how to heal? ”

"Mr. Ma is said to be an immortal disciple, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"Now more and more patients from all over the country are being transported to the quarantine area, and 100 people were transported from various townships yesterday and one day, and we are all here, what can we do there."

"Even if we don't do it there, we can't even prescribe a prescription, what can we do?"

Many people looked at Li Jue who was sitting at the front, Li Jue kept pulling his beard with his eyes closed, who was the most stressed these days, and he had to be the one for so long.

He is the best doctor in Jixian County and even Youzhou, but he has no way to deal with the current black plague, he can only alleviate the patient's condition, and the anxiety in his heart can be imagined.

"It's coming!"

Li Jue opened his eyes and saw a group of officials and children of the family led by Tian Liang walking in, each holding a cushion and sitting in the back or middle aisle.

Ma Qiang instructed the sergeant to hang up the blackboard.

Ma Qiang looked down and saw that there were almost no more people, so he said, "All the doctors and colleagues, as well as gentlemen, the time is urgent, I will make a long story short, after I have read the secret books of my school, I already know what this disease is, and I also have a way to deal with it, now I say, you remember, if there is any problem, wait until I say that you can ask a question and then ask it, no problem I will start." ”

As he spoke, Ma Qiang took out the chalk and wrote on the blackboard while talking.

"This disease is called black plague, but there is a professional name in our school, which is called hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, which is a type of plague.

What is plague, plague is a kind of external evil called virus transmitted through rats or similar animals, these rats carry this external evil in their bodies, and then spread to people through water, food, etc., and people will transmit the virus to others through spitting, sneezing, urinating and urinating.

The mortality rate of this disease is very high, according to the record can reach 90% at the highest, it is an extremely terrible kind of plague, and its pathogenesis can be summarized as three pains and three reds, which are headache, low back pain, orbital pain, redness of the face, neck and upper chest, and will be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, chest tightness and other symptoms.

The stages of its onset can be divided into febrile phase, shock phase, oliguric phase, polyuria phase and recovery phase.

Therefore, to deal with this disease, we must first cut the source, and then treat the person! Okay, now you can raise your hand and ask questions. ”

Everyone could understand the meaning of raising their hands, and in an instant, a small forest appeared.

"Doctor Li, you should ask first."

"Sir, I don't have any doubts about the name, this disease is indeed a kidney wound, but Mr. said that this disease is transmitted through rats, is there any evidence?"

Ma Qiang thought for a while and replied, "Our school has an instrument called a microscope, which can allow people to see this kind of external evil, but I don't have it in my hand now, please believe it, I will find a way to make this thing in the future to solve the confusion of the world." ”

In fact, Chinese medicine has long used the phrase "external evil" to simply describe things like viruses and bacteria, but because China has not invented a microscope, it is a pity that Chinese medicine cannot truly recognize the true face of the plague.

"We know that human saliva can spread the plague, but how is this poop contagious? No one drinks other people's and pee, right? A healer asked.

"This way of transmission of urine and urine is called fecal-oral transmission in our school, indeed, no one will directly eat other people's feces and urine, but think about it, when a person urinates, his hands will be more or less stained with dirt, if these dirt is not washed off in time, and then touch some places, such as doors and windows, and other people touch them, then this person will get this person's dirt on his hands, and if this person eats directly if he does not wash his hands or has a wound on his hands, the virus on these filths will make this person infected with the plague."

"I see..."

"No wonder the county decree forces all patients to wash their hands after using the toilet and use soap..."

Seeing that everyone understood, Ma Qiang continued, "In order to break the roots, Tianxian Cheng! Lieutenant Zhang! ”

"In!" The two answered together.

"The two of you are responsible for the extermination of rats inside and outside the city, I want no rats in this city again, and no rats are allowed in the villages outside the city, especially in the places where food is stored, there must be no rats, I know this is difficult, tell everyone that the county government is willing to exchange the same three times the weight of grain for these rats!" It's not just about killing rats, it's about saving lives! ”

"No!"

Tian Liang and Zhang Sheng surrendered together.

There is a group of families who have promised to endorse the expenses of this plague, and Ma Qiang is now spending money without mercy.

"Then I'll talk about how to treat it, it's hard and easy to cure."

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, is this a cure?

"Let's talk about the onset of this disease first, after the onset of this disease, it can be divided into five stages, namely the fever stage, the shock stage, the oliguric stage, the polyuria stage and the recovery period, and these five stages should be dealt with separately......"

Ma Qiang said carefully, the officials and doctors below also remembered carefully, time passed slowly, Ma Qiang wrote on the blackboard, erased, and constantly raised his hand to ask questions, Ma Qiang also tried his best to answer them one by one, and strive to make everyone understand why he did this.
