Volume 1 Killing Everywhere Chapter 27 A Strange Virus

In less than ten minutes, the helicopter landed on the platform of the tall main building of Taizhou First Hospital, and the medical staff and carts were already ready, and they carried Mordin onto the cart and quickly sent him to the emergency room from the direct elevator.

Professor Chen Fangping of the Department of Viral Infections of Taizhou First Hospital, an expert in microbial pathology, received the test data from the attending doctor of the Navy General Hospital and reviewed them carefully. When he saw the DNA map of the virus, his brow couldn't help but furrow.

"It's a mutated rabies virus, it's already invaded the brain stem!" he hurried into another elevator and rushed to the emergency room.

In the rescue hall on the first floor, Mordin was lying quietly on the white sheets, his arm was hanging an infusion tube, his face was covered with a breathing mask, and on the table next to him, the display curves on the electrocardiogram and EEG screens were sometimes regular and sometimes disordered. He had just been given a large dose of sedative to calm muscle spasms. At the same time, according to the conventional treatment regimen for rabies, his blood was injected with broad-spectrum antiviral immune protein, blood-brain barrier dilator and antiviral interferon.

Professor Chen Fangping was sitting on the sidelines, studying the results of Mordin's various tests, when a middle-aged doctor came over and said to Professor Chen: "Professor Chen, I have asked the patient's classmates just now, according to her, the patient was bitten by a black scorpion bird five years ago, and since then, the patient has carried an unknown neurotropic virus in his body, and has also been vaccinated, and he has been safe and sound for five years." ”

"It's been fine for 5 years, so why did the virus attack suddenly?" Professor Chen's gaze did not take off the data.

"According to the attending doctor at the Naval Hospital, four hours ago, the patient was injected with a nerve agent. The middle-aged doctor said.

"Injected with nerve agents?" Dr. Chen Fangping raised his head in surprise: "How could such a thing happen?"

"Doctors at the naval hospital were reluctant to disclose the specifics. ”

"It is very likely that the neurotoxin stimulated the latent virus, or it could have destroyed the original immune system in his body, causing the virus to flare up. Professor Chen immediately judged.

"But the virus is also too fast, just a few hours, and it has already invaded the brain stem. The middle-aged doctor said he had never seen such a case.

"yes, and it's already invaded the brainstem! Maybe the virus has been lurking in the patient's brain stem for years, and that's the only explanation. The problem now is to step up the production of the corresponding immune proteins, to race against the speed of the virus's destruction, and at the same time inject large doses of interferon to delay the replication of the virus. ”

"But this is very damaging to the patient's brain cells. The middle-aged doctor said worriedly.

"The first issue now is to stop the rapid replication of the virus. Xiao Wang, how long does it take for immune protein synthesis?" Professor Chen asked the young doctor who was operating the instrument on the side.

"It takes 6 hours a unit. Dr. Wang replied.

"So slow! Notify other departments to work together to replicate immune proteins, we must hurry up and race against the virus!"

"Yes, Professor, we're going to do it in 1 hour. ”

The wall clock on the wall slowly pointed to 18 o'clock, and nearly an hour passed. Professor Chen Fangping picked up a new computed tomography scan picture, which clearly showed the abnormal echo of Mordin's brain region, and found that the virus destroys very quickly, especially the damage to the autonomic cortical region.

"Inform the thoracic surgeon to be ready immediately, and if the patient's cardiopulmonary muscle function is impaired and paralyzed, the patient will be immediately surgically connected to an artificial cardiopulmonary compensation device. Professor Chen said to the head nurse on the side, handing the CT image to the middle-aged doctor.

"Yes, Professor, I will inform Director Li of the Department of Surgery to prepare for surgery. ”

The middle-aged doctor took the CT picture of Mordin's brain, looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "The viral infection is much faster than expected, is it to take cerebrospinal fluid direct injection of interferon and brainstem shock to open the permeability of the brain cell membrane, so that the drug can act on the brain nerve cells faster?"

"I'm also considering this plan, but the side effects are too great, and the damage to the patient's brain tissue is more serious, so I recommend waiting for the corresponding immune protein to be made and injected, and then see if it works before deciding whether to use it." You can prepare a plan first, and then ask the director of brain surgery to discuss it together. ”

The middle-aged doctor nodded in agreement with Professor Chen's suggestion and stepped aside to prepare.

In the family waiting room next to the rescue room, looking at the center of the big screen, Mo Ding was lying motionless on the hospital bed, surrounded by all kinds of pipes and wires, and Yan Ran's tears couldn't help but fall down.

Zhu Simin on the side was much stronger, she held back her tears, and kept comforting Yan Ran: "Sister Yan Ran, Brother Mo will be fine, my brother has invited the best doctor to treat Brother Mo, he will be fine!"

On the way to Taizhou First Hospital, Zhu Simin called Zhu Shiyu and asked his brother to help find the best doctor to treat Mordin. Zhu Shiyu immediately agreed to go all out to help, and invited well-known virology neurologists from all over the world to cooperate with Professor Chen Fangping from Taizhou Hospital to consult with Mordin and formulate the best treatment plan.

However, in the 50s of the 21st century, when medical conditions were very developed, the mortality rate of rabies invasion of the central nervous system was still an extremely dangerous case with a mortality rate of more than 60%. Even if all the viruses that invade the brain can be killed, it is still an extremely difficult medical problem for the damaged brain cells to recover.

Thinking that her classmates and table mates would face such a big danger this time, a shadow flashed in Yan Ran's eyes, and she looked anxiously at Mordine on the screen, praying for a miracle to happen.

Two hours passed slowly, and it was completely dark outside. People quietly waited for news from the rescue room, the air seemed to freeze, and no one said a word.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the emergency room on the screen, and Mordin was carried onto the operating table by the nurses, and his clothes were taken off, revealing Mordin's thin chest. A group of doctors and nurses in surgical gowns surrounded Mordin, one with a scalpel in his hand, and slashed at Mordin's chest.

Yan Ran and Zhu Simin stared at the rescue screen in horror, not knowing what kind of danger Mordin had encountered.

The door was pushed open, and a little nurse walked in and said eagerly: "The patient is paralyzed in the motor function of the heart and lung muscles, and is preparing for chest surgery to connect the extracorporeal heart and lung machine." The patient needs a blood transfusion, but he has a special blood type and the blood bank is insufficient, which of you is willing to donate blood for the patient. ”

Yan Ran and the two of them, the soldiers and doctors who came with them all expressed their willingness.

The little nurse picked up the needle, took a blood sample on everyone's thumb, labeled it, and hurried out the door.

Yan Ran and Zhu Simin couldn't hold back the sadness in their hearts anymore, and at the same time cried loudly. Everyone had no choice but to come up and stop the two girls from crying first. The trainee nurse who accompanied her couldn't help but wipe her tears. Cardiopulmonary failure, Mordin is one step closer to death!

When the waiting room was in a mess, the door was pushed open again, and the little nurse entered the door and shouted, "Yan Ran!

Yan Ran stopped crying and replied, "I am." ”

"Your blood type matches, please come with me. ”

Yan Ran wiped her tears and hurried away with the little nurse.

Looking at Yan Ran's back as he left in a hurry, Zhu Simin bit his lower lip and said with chagrin in his heart: "Why is my blood type not worthy? If I have the opportunity to sacrifice my blood for Little Brother Mo, what a valuable thing!"

At more than 10 o'clock in the evening, the inpatient area of Taizhou Navy General Hospital was quiet, the patients in the inpatient department began to sleep early, and the doctors and nurses who had been busy all day also began to tidy up their finishing work.

Mei Qing lay quietly on the bed in the surgical department reading a book, her leg was wrapped in thick gauze, and in the afternoon the doctor took out the bullet from her leg, fortunately, the bullet did not damage the bones and large blood vessels.

At that moment, the phone on her desk rang.

"Dad!" Mei Qing shouted affectionately.

"How's your surgery going, does the wound still hurt?" said a kind voice from a middle-aged man on the other end of the phone.

"The operation went well, the bullet was removed and there were no major blood vessels or bones. Mei Qing told her father about her injuries.

"Oh!

Mei Qing's father, Mei Zhongyi, is a major general director of the National Military Intelligence Bureau, Mei Qing is his only daughter, and the relationship between father and daughter has always been very harmonious.

"I just heard your Uncle Li tell me about your injury, I was very worried and didn't dare to call you to ask you. General Mei's voice was noticeably soothing, "Does your leg still hurt?" he asked with concern.

"The anesthetic has passed, and the wound is a little painful. Mei Qing said coquettishly: "But it doesn't hurt when I read a book." ”

"Alas, you kid, you're too reckless. You are only an intern in the special service training class, and you dare to fight with 4 terrorists on the street!" Mei Zhongyi's tone changed and became serious: "Especially those 4 people, it has now been confirmed that they are the terrorists who infiltrated our country by the Black Ghost Organization, Mei Qing, my father feels scared when he thinks about it now! Who are the members of the Black Ghosts! Terrorists armed to the teeth with high technology! Even our veteran agents, they may not be able to take advantage of them when they meet!"

"I didn't think about it that much at the time!" Mei Qing stuck out her tongue. At that time, when she was pushed away by Mordin, her head was indeed a little dizzy, but when she saw the four big men who got out of the car and pounced on Mordin who fell to the ground, she instinctively sensed the great danger, so she did not hesitate to draw a gun and shoot. Maybe those 4 people didn't expect to be attacked suddenly, plus Mei Qing's marksmanship was fast and accurate, and he was caught off guard, so he luckily repelled the 4 terrorists. Even so, those men did not forget to return fire, and he was shot twice in the leg, but fortunately did not hurt the vital parts.

"Dad, have those terrorists been caught?" asked Mei Qing.

"Nope. However, through some technical means, their key information was tracked, and it was determined that they were members of the Black Ghost. The general paused for a moment and continued: "This organization is getting bolder and bolder, and this time if they dare to come to our country to do evil, we must give them a hard lesson." The general said in a stern tone.

"Yes, we must teach them a lesson!" Mei Qing echoed.
