307 Penicillin!

Just as everyone gathered in the restaurant to eat dumplings together, the doctors suddenly announced at the dinner table that they had made penicillin under the existing conditions!

When they first heard the news, everyone hadn't reacted yet, until someone suddenly exclaimed:

"What did you just say?"

"Yes, penicillin ......"

"Is it really penicillin!?"

After receiving an affirmative answer from the doctors, the restaurant immediately boiled.

Everyone put down their chopsticks and excitedly commented.

"It can be expected that once penicillin acts on this world, it is likely to be regarded as a miracle drug by people in this era!"

"Of course, in an era when there is no concept of the microscopic world of bacteria and viruses, it is impossible to understand the pharmacology of this anyway."

"I don't think the bacteria and viruses are ...... resistant."

"So the magic effect that will be produced."

"It's time to rewrite history! By the way, Brother Zhu, are there those famous historical figures who died unexpectedly in this era who can be revived by penicillin? ”

"That's too much to count......"

At the same time, the doctors were surrounded by another large group of enthusiastic melon eaters, who were a little too busy.

"Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet! This is only a preliminary success, and we still have a long way to go. ”

"Clinical trials are still needed to ...... the toxicity and side effects"

"Purity is really preferential."

"Of course, some processes still need to be improved......"

"Currently oral formulation ......"

"Penicillin for injection needs to be optimized and purified, and it cannot be used in clinical ...... at this time"

"Mass production is currently a bit difficult, but we are confident that we ......"

At this time, the five doctors were explaining the penicillin situation to everyone, answering various questions from the crowd.

Then someone suddenly asked:

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Quan, I'm penicillin-allergic! What to do? ”

"All the special drugs are allergic, so you'd better pay attention and don't get sick!"

Well, that's the answer of Senior Pharmacist Quan Yishan, and it's so true that it's desperate......

"Uncle Quan, what your old man said hurt me too much......"

"It's okay, it's okay, oral penicillin is not a big problem, of course, it's better to try it on the skin."

Dai Xiaoshan next to him immediately stepped forward to comfort the frightened man.

"Don't worry about penicillin allergies, you're a physically optimized person, there's nothing to be afraid of, right? Of course, it is difficult to say for future generations. ”

"Oh, anyway, it's a small number of people who are allergic, and if you encounter such a physique, you have to ask for more blessings......"

Obviously, the answers of Duan Leyue and the others did not have a soothing effect at all, looking at the helpless expression on the face, Huang Lei immediately comforted him beside him and said:

"However, our current penicillin has limited efficacy and side effects, don't worry, you can't eat the dead...... As for the future, it will improve and improve in the future, right? When you have children, you may ...... We should ...... Can you raise the level of penicillin manufacturing to the level of the old world? ”

Well, as soon as Dr. Huang's words came out, everyone really didn't know whether to rest assured or not.

But in any case, this is an exciting and good start, so after everyone understands the basic situation, the topic shifts to the issue of the efficacy of penicillin, and in the face of people's gossip to the doctors, including the pharmacy expert Quan Yishan, the answers tend to be conservative:

"I think it can be used in clinical practice......

"We can't guarantee safety, after all, the process is quite rough."

"But in the 17th century, when infectious diseases were raging and there was nothing to do with staphylococcus, it could have been applied to people, so what else? Aren't those plagues called plagues because the world can't do anything about them? Anyway, a dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, and it is better to use it with medicine than without medicine, right? ”

Well, the doctors' answers made everyone tremble, but despite all these flaws, everyone still had to nod in recognition of Dr. Quan's last summary:

"In short, this is a great blessing that we have brought to humanity in the New World......"

In any case, the doctors' introduction to penicillin stimulated everyone's curiosity, especially when everyone heard that this process was a simple process presided over by senior pharmacist Dr. Quan, everything was simple because of the ugliness, and the equipment was so simple and rough that even a housewife could make it herself by herself using the jars and jars in the kitchen, and the restaurant was boiling again.

The excitement is understandable.

Because under the conditions of this era, if penicillin, a drug with a miraculous effect, can be made simply because of ugliness, this is simply a sharp weapon to pass through pretending! No matter what the curative effect is, what the doctors just said is very right, in the face of this plague-ravaged new world of the seventeenth century, whoever masters this sharp weapon can really make people pretend to be countless earth-shattering coercion in front of the ancients, no, it is to do countless earth-shattering deeds!

So at this moment, many people have no intention of eating dumplings, they have asked the doctors to take everyone to the scene to see, to tell everyone about the preparation process of this penicillin, many people also rushed back to their dormitories, brought notebooks and pens, ready to record on the spot, so as to pass on to future children and grandchildren as a family secret recipe.

So on the night of this Chinese New Year's Eve, the people in the Red House actually left the restaurant and gathered in a cave, in a simple medical laboratory built of shipping containers, to listen to the keynote speaker, Dr. Quan Yishan, the former senior pharmacist of the old world and the leader of the scientific research and development of the local method of preparing penicillin, talk about the preparation process of penicillin.

At this time, Dr. Quan stood next to a row of wooden shelves with a smile, facing a group of curious onlookers eating melons, holding a glass petri dish in his hand, and several other doctors were also standing next to him, ready to assist in explaining at any time.

Behind Dr. Quan, there is a row of wooden shelves, on each grid there are a lot of glass bottles of different sizes and shapes, these glass bottles obviously come from supermarket materials, most of them are food and cosmetics containers, including the transparent large glass jars used to hold melon seed candy in the past, jars for spicy sauce, beer bottles, liquor bottles, large glass jars for kimchi, and small glass bottles for perfume, etc., transparent, translucent, in short, a dazzling array of wooden shelves.

Nowadays, these bottles contain all kinds of gray, black, and green powders, as well as dark green, dark red, and dark yellow unidentified pastes.

Dr. Quan explained that the experiment proved that the staphylococci on the petri dish was inhibited, and it was manifested in various ring-shaped spots in the petri dish. Although many people looked confused, many people nodded frequently, indicating that they understood the phenomenon.

After reading this to everyone, Quan Yishan began to introduce the preparation process of penicillin.

He first pointed to a large water tank in the corner, and motioned Huang Lei to open a bamboo lid on it, and a musty smell immediately hit, making a group of onlookers frown.

There was half a tank of slurry in the big tank, and it was obviously a little moldy.

Dr. Quan pointed to the paste-like substance in the water tank and said that it was the fermented state of concentrated rice soup.

In fact, the process of penicillin preparation is not too complicated, and the first step is to collect penicillin mold from these substances.

Since it is not a large-scale production, it is currently using a natural fermentation method, and in the future, it will be possible to produce it on a large scale in a furnace.

At this moment, although everyone was choked by the musty smell in the water tank, they still endured the discomfort and nodded to show that they understood.
