Chapter 40: Anti-inflammatory elixir
At this moment, Pang Yuyan and Kong Yuling finished worshipping, Liu Yun told the second daughter the reason, and Wang Pinggu hid her face and cried in a low voice on the side.
After hearing this, Pang Yuyan pulled Wang Pinggu's hand away, and immediately saw that there were five red finger prints on her face, and her eyebrows immediately stood upside down, her eyes were round, and she was about to go with Liu Yun to ask Sun Zhixiong for an explanation, but Kong Yuling hurriedly grabbed her.
Kong Yuling looked at Wang Pinggu's face, couldn't help frowning, seemed to be thoughtful, and quickly recruited a nun from the church, and asked briefly about the situation of Sun Zhixiong and his wife. Sure enough, there is another hidden secret, it turns out that Sun Zhixiong is a wounded soldier, a total of thirteen people, in the past year, their wounds have not healed because of poor treatment in the early days, and they have relied on the free treatment of the church to support them to this day.
It turns out that this is the case, even Wang Pinggu suddenly realized, and slowly stopped crying, Pang Yuyan also asked carefully, "After almost a year of healing, why hasn't it been cured", the nun did not shy away from it, and directly explained, mainly because of the lack of effective anti-inflammatory drugs, it can only be treated with some local methods, so it has always been good and bad.
"Anti-inflammatory drugs", both Pang Yuyan and Kong Yuling frowned, it seems to be a very tricky problem. The nun had a good temper and specially condoled with Aunt Wang Ping, asking her not to blame her husband Sun, for which their church is also responsible.
"Penicillin, is it very expensive", although he is a liberal arts student, he still knows about the anti-inflammatory miracle drug penicillin, Liu Yun asked casually, as if he remembered that on the Internet in the 21st century, someone once analyzed that penicillin in the 30s was as expensive as gold, but with the financial resources of the eldest lady of the Kong family, this is also a thing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused the nun to be shocked, and the second daughter of Pang Kong was surprised, and they all asked, "Penicillin, what is penicillin, is it a new special anti-inflammatory drug, and how is it better than the current Yunnan Baiyao?"
Uh, the reaction is so big, Liu Yun is a spirit, fortunately he is a liberal arts student, he relied on Qiangwen Boji to eat back then, and now he finally remembers, it is 1934, or salt water, disinfectant water and Yunnan Baiyao, the era of domination of the world, medical penicillin will have to wait until 1938, as for the fastest transmission to China, it will be 1939, and the popularization will not be until 1943.
By the way, isn't there another anti-inflammatory miracle drug, sulfonamide tablets, Liu Yun began to meditate and think, well, I also remember, there was a clinical trial of sulfonamide tablets in 1936, and now it is called "Duolang Baixia", which is a red pigment synthesized by German chemists in 1932, and in the same year, German biochemist Gerhardt Dumac, used the unpurified "Duolang Baixia" to cure his daughter's sepsis, and has actually discovered the anti-inflammatory effect, but it has not been promoted.
The difference in time has led to unlimited business opportunities, Liu Yun suddenly realized a great opportunity, and immediately asked Zhi Brain if ants could directly extract penicillin through natural penicillium strains, and asked with a sneer, "You really don't know what penicillin is."
Pang Yuyan is specialized in studying medicine, Kong Yuling and the nuns of the church have also dabbled in medicine to a greater or lesser extent, and they have really never heard of "penicillin", so they shook their heads blankly, and at the same time, Zhi Brain sent a conclusion that the plan was feasible, and Liu Yun was suddenly overjoyed.
On the surface, Liu Yun had to continue acting, pretending to be dumbfounded, and asked in surprise, "St. Mary's Medical School, University of London, Sir Fleming, you haven't heard of it, in 1928, he discovered Penicillium in the laboratory, which can eliminate staphylococci that cause fever in the human body, an epoch-making discovery."
Before the ladies could react, the guy suddenly realized, "But yes, you are neither British nor doctors, and it is normal that you don't know."
As soon as these words came out, except for Wang Pinggu, the other three daughters suddenly had no place to embarrass themselves, the nun was a pure Londoner, England, Pang Yuyan was a top student who graduated from a famous medical school, and Kong Yuling was a doctor of theology in Edinburgh, England, but they didn't even know about this unclear discovery.
Seeing the nun whose head was about to fall into the neckline, the huge young lady who blushed like an apple, Kong Yuling who smiled a little stiffly, and the so-called Wang Pinggu, Liu Yun laughed so much in his heart, ignoring the complaining eyes of Pang Yuyan and Sister Kong, he said seriously, "Well, a red German dye, 'many waves and breaths', you should have heard of it."
"I know", it was the nun who answered first.
Liu Yun found that the nun seemed to be very beautiful, about the same age as Kong Pang's second daughter, with a high nose, blue eyes and white skin, and the appearance of a standard white European.
The nun noticed the strange gaze around her, and then remembered the lady's reserve, embarrassedly pulled the placket of her clothes, and after blinking mischievously, she continued to look like a god.
Liu Yun didn't bother to care what everyone thought, so he asked the nun directly, "Who is that, uh", it was stuck before she could exit, after all, she rarely had contact with church people, and she didn't know what to call a nun for a while, Pang Yuyan pursed her lips and snickered, Kong Yuling glanced at someone, smiled and greeted the nun first, "Mama Mary".
Mama, hehe, Liu Yun couldn't help but think of the ultimate villain in "Huanzhu Gege", Mama Rong, held back a smile, and asked the nun very kindly, "Mama Mary, I don't know, where can I buy 'Lots of Waves'".
"Please follow me", seemed to sense Liu Yun's ridicule, and Sister Mary didn't bother with him, but stepped on him lightly when she passed by someone's side.
"Ouch", Liu Yun's left foot was in sharp pain, and he couldn't help screaming, but he saw Pang Yuyan gloating, Miss Kong didn't see the scenery very well, Wang Pinggu deserved it, brother was recruiting who to provoke whom, so he had to follow Mama Rong dejectedly.
The group soon came to the ward next to the church, there were a bunch of disabled patients in it, it seemed that they were still wearing military uniforms with ranks, it should be disabled soldiers, Wang Pinggu said "Zhixiong", and ran to a bearded patient, it should be her man, Sun Zhixiong.
These soldiers who have been on the battlefield, they fought against the Japanese devils, and they ended up disabled, and the country and the nation should have taken care of them, but they did not expect that they were like beggars, relying on the alms of Western churches, to survive to this day.
They are the real heroes, Liu Yun felt that his eyes were a little moist, and involuntarily, he saluted Sun Zhixiong and other disabled soldiers, and said loudly, "National Revolutionary Army, Reserve Lieutenant Colonel, Liu Yun, salute all seniors."
Sun Zhixiong, who was about to talk to his wife Wang Pinggu, hurriedly stood up, returned the salute with the remaining dozen or so disabled soldiers, and said hoarsely, "The National Revolutionary Army, the former major battalion commander, Sun Zhixiong, are all twelve brothers, and they have met Chief Liu."
Thirteen wounded soldiers, some have no arms, some have no thighs, some have bandages all over their bodies, some are unrecognizable, some have inflamed wounds and abscesses, and they are all warriors who have seen the sea of blood in the sword mountain, although they are now plagued by illness and their faces seem to be a little jaundice, but their eyes are still very firm, revealing an unfailing military temperament.
Liu Yun's tears couldn't stop flowing, his voice was a little trembling but very clear, "Brothers, I'm too late to make you suffer."
"Woo woo", a group of thirteen iron-beaten men, who have always shed blood without tears, actually cried, and while insisting on saluting, they said in a snorkel, "Don't blame the chief, this has nothing to do with the chief, it's the brothers' lives."
What a simple man, what a good soldier, Liu Yun sighed a little, pulled them down one by one with his hands, asked them to lie down, and secretly swore in his heart that no matter how much the price was paid, the anti-inflammatory miracle drugs penicillin and sulfonamide tablets must be made.
Sister Mary took out a large glass bottle in the medicine cabinet next to the bed, which was filled with some red powder, Liu Yun only then noticed that the wounds of the wounded soldiers were smeared with some red liquid.
How can it be used directly, there are many impurities in it, and even poisonous, Liu Yun looked at the triumphant Sister Mary, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, no wonder it has been treated for more than a year, but the treatment is not good, your sister, these wounded soldiers have not been killed, they are already blessed by God.
Sister Mary, who was holding the dye bottle, suddenly found that Liu Yun's face was getting darker and darker, and she also knew that something was wrong, so she was a little scared, and she couldn't help but pull Kong Yuling.
Sister Kong hurriedly said to Liu Yun, "Yicheng, Sister Mary, is just a clergyman, she doesn't understand medicine, could it be that this 'profligate and restless', what are the taboos."
Liu Yun did not answer directly, but said to Sun Zhixiong and the wounded soldiers, "Brothers, you are all real Chinese heroes, I, Liu Yun hereby swear, I will definitely develop a new anti-inflammatory drug, we must cure your pain, and I will come up with a new medicine in a few days."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yun bowed to the wounded soldiers, turned around and walked out of the ward, just as the scan results of the brain also came out, the wounded soldiers were indeed a compound wound infection, and it is expected that once sulfonamide tablets and penicillin come out, they will be basically cured, but these thirteen people have other diseases, and there are small malaria worms in their bodies, so they cause jaundice in their faces.
Jaundice malaria, this is easier to do, Artemisia annua grass is everywhere, Liu Yun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he went to the slag yard to get back the ants in a few days, he picked some more, and it was just solved together, and when he was about to turn back, Sister Kong was gently rubbing his face with a handkerchief.
Pang Yuyan also had red eyes and seemed to have cried, Sister Mary was at a loss to hold the dye jar, Liu Yun also knew that she couldn't blame the nun entirely, Mama Mary was also a good intention, if you want to blame this era, there are really no better anti-inflammatory drugs.
Liu Yun looked at Mama Mary with a smile, and said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mama Mary, some things are not your fault, my face is ugly, but it's not for you, but I feel that my responsibility is greater."
Sister Mary blinked, seemed to understand, and seemed to be a little incomprehensible, for Liu Yun's apology, she just smiled slightly, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Liu, what does your new medicine refer to, is it what you said, penicillin."
Liu Yun took the dye glass bottle from the nun's hand and handed it to Pang Yuyan, before smiling and saying, "Yes, in a few days, I will not only develop penicillin, but also extract sulfonamide tablets from the 'many waves and breaths'."
