Although everyone didn't believe that Lin Xiao's medical skills were so skillful, the facts in front of him were all there, and there were so many medical staff to prove it, so it was impossible for anyone to fake it.
Especially since they all knew very well that Lin Xiao had not been in for a long time, at most it was ten minutes, and it was indeed not an easy thing to be able to solve the problem in such a short time.
"Hehe, Secretary Zhang, Mayor Wu, comrades, you are not studying medicine, so you may not be familiar with this situation." Lin Xiao looked at Zhang Chenglin and the others, and said with a smile, "Fava bean disease has been found in southwest, south, east and north China in China, and the incidence in South China and Southwest China is the largest. Seventy per cent of patients under the age of three and ninety per cent of male patients. Adult patients are rare, but a small number of patients do not develop the disease until middle age or old age. The main reason is that GP deficiency is a hereditary disease, so more than 40% of cases have a family history. The disease often occurs in the ripening season of broad beans, and the vast majority of patients get sick due to eating fresh broad beans, and the onset is late or early due to the different climates in the north and south. β
When Zhang Chenglin and the others heard this, they were a little surprised, they really didn't know that things like broad beans could actually make people sick, which was indeed a bit unexpected.
In fact, as Lin Xiao said, the incidence of broad bean disease is quite complicated, such as broad bean disease only occurs in patients with GP deficiency, but not all patients with GP deficiency have hemolysis after eating broad beans; People who have had fava bean disease eat fava beans every year, but they don't necessarily get sick every year; There is no parallel relationship between the degree of hemolysis and anemia and the amount of broad beans consumed. The incidence in adults is significantly lower than in children.
It can be inferred that in addition to the lack of GP in red blood cells, there must be other factors related to the pathogenesis, and the mechanism of hemolysis in broad bean disease is more complex than that of drug-induced hemolytic anemia caused by GP deficiency, which needs to be further studied.
"The onset of fava bean disease is acute, and most of them have hemolysis within one or two days after eating fresh fava beans, with the shortest being only two hours and the longest being nine days apart. In people with pollen inhalation, symptoms may appear within minutes, and the length of the incubation period does not depend on the severity of symptoms. Lin Xiao said, "Most of the anemia and symptoms of this disease are very serious. Symptoms include general malaise, fatigue, chills, fever, dizziness, headache, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc., and the symptoms of general cases last for about a week. In the most severe cases, acute circulatory failure and acute renal failure include extreme paleness, general failure, weak and rapid pulse, decreased blood pressure, mental retardation or irritability, oliguria or octurence, etc. Anemia, hypoxia, and electrolyte imbalance can be fatal if not corrected in time; However, if appropriate treatment can be given in time, there is still hope for improvement. β
Then Lin Xiao added, "In low-incidence areas, this disease is easy to be ignored and missed. We are located in the northwest, and this situation is rare, especially the occurrence of broad bean disease in a large area, which is even rarer, so it is understandable that there is no doctor to discern the truth for a while. β
"I see!" After everyone listened, they understood a little.
"Fortunately, Secretary Lin came in time, otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable!" Zhang Chenglin, secretary of the municipal party committee, heard this, and immediately said in a cold sweat.
Mayor Wu Runze listened and nodded, the anger in his heart had long since disappeared.
In fact, it was precisely because of Lin Xiao's intervention that those critically ill students were able to turn the corner, if this was not the case, if someone really died, they would not be able to explain it.
A doctor next to him also said, "We urgently checked the relevant information, and there has never been a similar situation in our city or even in Thanh Son Province before." If Secretary Lin hadn't come in time, today's events would have been a bit dangerous. β
The next situation is much easier, since the cause of the poisoning has been clarified, the treatment method naturally has a goal.
In fact, the hemolysis of broad bean disease is often rapid and large, and the anemia is very serious, and it is necessary to transfuse blood or transfuse concentrated red blood cells in time, and most patients can improve after one or two blood transfusions.
At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the balance of water and electrolytes, drink more water or intravenous fluids to prevent acute renal failure and potassium poisoning, and add low molecular weight dextran to patients with low blood pressure to improve blood circulation.
These problems, naturally, Lin Xiao didn't need to worry too much, he just communicated a few words with the person in charge, and determined the treatment plan suitable for the students.
Seeing that the critically ill students had gradually stabilized at this time, everyone was indeed very interested in Lin Xiao's treatment, but Lin Xiao was reluctant to talk about this matter, only saying that it was a little bit of traditional Chinese medicine techniques, and it was more appropriate to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, so it was more appropriate to give them blood transfusions.
After Zhang Chenglin, secretary of the municipal party committee, calmed down, he asked the staff to announce the good news to the parents of the students, saying that the cause of food poisoning has been mastered, and active and effective symptomatic treatment has been carried out, and the students will soon be able to turn the crisis into safety.
In this way, the parents of the anxious students outside can be regarded as having made up their minds, especially after the parents of several critically ill students visited their children, and found that the situation was indeed the same as what the city leaders said, they turned to the emergency treatment of the city leaders and praised it.
"Fortunately, this matter has finally changed for the better!" Seeing this, Mayor Wu Runze finally settled down in his heart, and said with some palpitations.
Several members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee basically have the same mentality, although they have tossed all night, but after all, they have brought the situation under control, and it is not a busy game in vain.
"Secretary Lin came in time!" Propaganda Minister Kong Youwei also rushed back, and after hearing the news, he said with some emotion, "If it is a little later, I am afraid that those students will not have a good time, and the situation we have to face will be much more complicated." β
"After all, I used to be a doctor, and I still have some experience in treating all kinds of incurable diseases." Lin Xiao also sat down in the dean's office with everyone, and then said with a slight smile, "I was in a bit of a hurry when I came, and I didn't greet the two squad leaders and comrades, which made everyone worried, but this is my fault." β
Seeing that Lin Xiao apologized to everyone as soon as he came over, the discomfort in everyone's hearts suddenly dissipated a lot.
After all, in that case, a minute of delay was a matter of a minute, and at this time, the matter was successfully resolved, and everyone was relieved, and naturally they would not care about this matter anymore.
"Hehe, this shows that Comrade Lin Xiao cares about the safety of the people's lives, and it can't be regarded as anything wrong." Zhang Chenglin, secretary of the municipal party committee, waved his hand and said, "But at that time, it really scared us a lot, you must know that the emotions of the students' parents have long been a little hot, just like a cannon battle, just one point, Mayor Wu and I are sweating, for fear that Comrade Lin Xiao will make some trouble." β
"Yes, grassroots work is not easy to do!" Wu Runze also nodded in agreement.
However, Liu Maolin, the political commissar of the military division, was concerned about the food poisoning itself, and he asked with some interest, "Secretary Lin, what else is the usual food poisoning?" There are also many restaurants in our military sub-districts, and we also need to take precautions against this situation. β
"That's a lot, in fact, a lot of ordinary foods also contain toxins." Lin Xiao replied casually, "For example, raw almonds, in addition to inducing allergies, also contain a lot of cyanide. In fact, it is illegal to buy raw almonds. In the United States today, it is still illegal to buy a small piece of raw almonds. β
"There's also nutmeg, an ancient flavoring that is often crushed and used to make desserts. It can be added to coffee, soups, curries, and even wine. Nutmeg also has medicinal properties, relieves muscle and tooth pain, and can also heal associated stomach pain. Then Lin Xiao said, "However, a little bit of nutmeg is delicious, and it will be dangerous if you eat a lot." Eating too much nutmeg can cause hallucinations and even develop nutmeg psychosis. At this point, the patient may feel trembling and even die. β
"When the cherries are ripe, they are bright red in color, delicate and delicate, nutritious, have high health care value, and are delicious in their own right. The kernel of this fruit can be made into a fuel and also soothes body aches. β
"But cherry pits contain a variety of cyanogenic glycosides. It's fine to eat a little bit, but if you chew it, it releases a large mixture of glycosides, which, combined with your enzymes, can kill you. Symptoms include headaches, nausea and even coma, convulsions and death. β
"The flesh around the apple seeds is wholesome, but the apple seeds are full of cyanic acid. Similar to cherry pits, these toxic substances need to be consumed in a certain amount to have an effect. Your body will help you deal with some poisons, but eating too much can lead to headaches, anxiety, kidney failure, and death. β
After listening to Lin Xiao talk about these common senses, everyone said, long knowledge!
"The first meeting with Comrade Lin Xiao was really a bit unusual." Zhang Chenglin, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, thought of the special care given to Lin Xiao by Minister Liu of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee before, and couldn't help but say with some emotion, "But that's okay, everyone's first impression is more profound, I'll give you an introduction." β
So in the dean's office, Lin Xiao and the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of Hexi City, even if they officially met for the first time, Zhang Chenglin introduced the situation of the Standing Committee members to Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao also briefly talked about his resume or something.
At this time, the hospital came to report that the students' conditions had finally stabilized after emergency blood transfusions, but there were still two students whose blood types were relatively rare and were being temporarily funded.
"We must do our best to ensure the coordination of blood sources, and there must be no more mistakes!" Mayor Wu Runze repeatedly told him that he was really a little afraid of this matter.
