Chapter 152 Next Research Directions and Aid Abroad
The so-called chest pain.
It is myocardial infarction or myocardial infarction in Western medicine.
It is a life-threatening disease caused by acute obstruction of the coronary arteries, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the corresponding myocardial area and causes myocardial necrosis.
The characteristics are sudden onset, easy direct shock, and a very high mortality rate.
Mr. Huo was particularly surprised that Wang Mengde knew that he suffered from thoracic pain.
He himself is a well-known Chinese medicine doctor, and of course he knows his physical health condition very well.
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of me casually revealed it.
And, most importantly, his chest pain symptoms occurred for a period of time at the end of the previous year, and after treatment, it has improved somewhat.
Thinking of this, he put away his joking heart and said seriously:
"Doctor Wang, isn't my illness cured now?"
Wang Mengde didn't say anything, but continued to take his pulse, and his brows furrowed even more.
He discovered that Mr. Huo's condition was not that simple.
The staff member who brought him over also noticed his expression and thought to himself that he would have to report the situation to President Lu later.
After a few minutes, Wang Mengde finally took his hand away. He stared at Mr. Huo in front of him and carefully observed his complexion. Then he said carefully: "Mr. Huo, your illness has not been cured."
"No way, other doctors have said that I am fine. I am also a doctor and I know my own physical condition. Otherwise, I would not be able to continue working there and would have been hospitalized long ago."
Mr. Huo denied it with a smile.
He waved his hands as he spoke.
However, some flickering eyes betrayed him.
"Mr. Huo, your illness has probably been going on for a while. It may have improved in the meantime, but because you've been overworked for a long time, the condition has recurred. You must have felt severe chest pain recently."
Wang Mengde said affirmatively.
At the same time, he also observed that there was a mark of friction on the left side of Mr. Huo's shirt near his chest.
It was probably because whenever he felt pain in his chest, he would keep touching his chest with his hands while working. Over time, his shirt was left with a large mark from his touching.
This further supports his own judgment.
"Hey, Doctor Wang, you're half right. My illness is basically cured. I don't have chest pain often anymore, only occasionally."
Mr. Huo was not embarrassed when the truth was revealed by Wang Mengde. He was still thinking about covering up the facts, and he said with a smile.
Before Wang Mengde could speak, the staff member next to him became anxious.
He was well aware of the relationship between Mr. Huo and the director of his own research institute, and he also understood the importance of Mr. Huo to traditional Chinese medicine.
So he didn't care about the taboos and asked anxiously, "Comrade Wang Mengde, is Mr. Huo's physical condition really as serious as you said?"
"Yes, Mr. Huo's health condition is not optimistic. His condition has worsened recently. If he is not treated in time..."
Wang Mengde only said half of his words. There is no need to say the rest. We are all smart people and we all know the consequences of not receiving timely treatment.
"Then how should Mr. Huo's disease be treated?"
The middle-aged man asked hurriedly again.
"For chest pain, you cannot be overworked and need to rest. If it is serious, you may even need to stay in bed. Also, there must always be someone around you to prevent any special circumstances.
By the way, do you have nitroglycerin tablets? If you have chest pain, just take one tablet. At the same time, regardless of whether it works or not, the doctor will observe and treat you in a timely manner. "
Wang Mengde briefly talked about some precautions.
Now he has some understanding of the disease of chest pain, but has not conducted in-depth research, and there is no good solution for the time being.
"What? I need to rest. No, I can't."
When Mr. Huo heard that he was asked to put down his work and rest, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"I have to go back to the south at the end of this month. I have other work to do. Several of my new students are still waiting for my instruction. It is absolutely impossible for me to rest and recuperate."
For him, life would be boring if he didn't work.
Therefore, we opposed it at the first opportunity.
Seeing his attitude, Wang Mengde naturally would not continue to argue with him, but instead turned his gaze to the staff member next to him.
The staff member nodded at him implicitly.
He prepared to report to Dean Lu soon, as the old gentleman's illness could not wait any longer.
After yelling for a while, Mr. Huo realized that it was useless to talk to them, so he changed the subject and said, "By the way, Doctor Wang, I have nitroglycerin tablets here, and I have taken them before.
But my situation is a bit special. Nitroglycerin tablets don't seem to work on me. Moreover, after taking them, they cause low blood pressure and make the chest pain even worse.
Do you have any other medications to recommend?"
After saying that, he looked at Wang Mengde with anticipation.
He also prescribed some medicine himself, but because he was not good at treating diseases like thoracic pain, the effects were minimal.
Currently, the most effective drug in the world for treating and preventing acute angina pectoris is nitroglycerin tablets.
In fact, in later generations, nitroglycerin tablets are also one of the fastest-acting drugs.
His strengths are great, but his weaknesses are also great and numerous.
Not only are there many adverse reactions and things to note, but long-term use can also lead to drug resistance.
After taking it for a period of time, the effect gradually decreases, or even has no effect at all.
It is also inconvenient to store. At the same time, some people have a low response to nitroglycerin tablets, and they are ineffective after taking them. Mr. Huo is one of these people.
"this."
Wang Mengde thought about it carefully and found that he really didn't have any good medicine to recommend.
At present, the Quick-acting Heart-saving Pills and Musk Heart-saving Pills have not been invented yet. It would be great if these two Chinese patent medicines existed.
In the past, except that the quick-acting heart-saving pills took a little longer to take effect than nitroglycerin tablets, they had many more advantages.
The most important thing is that it does not have so many adverse reactions, its efficacy is longer-lasting, and there is no drug resistance. It is a must-have medicine for many patients with thoracic pain at home.
Yes, I can develop a quick-acting heart-saving pill myself.
Since I have no idea about the drug that can help with sexual intercourse, it seems that I should change the direction of my research next.
Thinking of this, Wang Mengde's heart was filled with excitement.
He calmed himself down and said, "Mr. Huo, I don't have any good medicine to recommend for now. When I get back, I'll see if I can develop a medicine with fewer side effects as soon as possible."
After hearing his words, Mr. Huo was not disappointed. After all, his illness had been treated by many well-known Chinese and Western medicine doctors.
No one else has any good solution, so it is normal for the young man in front of him to have no solution.
However, he still said cheerfully: "Okay, Doctor Wang, I look forward to you researching out a good medicine as soon as possible."
After chatting for a while, Wang Mengde began to give him a massage.
Similarly, after the massage, Mr. Huo also fell into a deep sleep.
After he fell asleep, the staff member pulled Wang Mengde out of the door and asked in a low voice: "Comrade Wang Mengde, what is the condition of Mr. Huo's illness?" Since Mr. Huo was discharged from the hospital last time, he has been uncooperative with the doctors' diagnosis and treatment. Whenever he was asked, he said that he had cured his illness by himself.
Even in front of Dean Lu and others, he still behaves like this.
"Mr. Huo's condition is not optimistic. He has been having more and more attacks recently, and the intervals between attacks are getting shorter and shorter, but he has been forcing himself to endure it."
Wang Mengde sighed and told the truth.
Since he had traveled through time and had certain abilities, he really couldn't bear to see Mr. Huo die so early. After all, there were not many famous Chinese medicine experts, and there were few emerging among the younger generation.
"If you don't take rest and treatment, it will take at most three years."
Although it cannot be cured, his eyesight is not bad. He knows that this disease, if not treated and controlled in time, will quickly develop into a more serious condition.
"so serious?"
The staff member said with some disbelief.
"Yes, it is that serious. Mr. Huo not only has chest pain, but also some complications, which affect his health."
Wang Mengde explained.
"By the way, I am also good at acupuncture. If I come to treat Mr. Huo again, can I give him a few needles? Although this cannot completely cure the disease, it can reduce some of his pain."
"Acupuncture. I will talk to Dean Lu and Mr. Huo about this. They will decide whether it is possible or not."
The staff member thought about it, then gritted his teeth and said.
He was also taking a huge risk.
The two waited outside for about an hour before they heard some movement from inside.
When I went in, I saw that Mr. Huo had already gotten up. He touched his chest and the places where he was injured, with a look of joy on his face.
Now he felt as if all the pain in his body had disappeared.
My physical condition seems to have returned to that of my youth.
"Doctor Wang, your massage technique is truly amazing."
He gave a thumbs up and praised with admiration.
"Next time I come from the south, I'll ask you to come and give me another massage."
After leaving Mr. Huo, the staff took Wang Mengde to give a massage to another friend of President Lu.
It was almost noon when he politely declined the invitation to lunch and went straight back to his office at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It’s not that he didn’t want to have dinner with Dean Lu and the others, but he was afraid of causing trouble for others.
I got back to the office just in time for lunch.
After finishing the meal, he took a rest in the office. When he went to work in the afternoon, he called several of his junior colleagues to his side.
"The New Year is over, and we need to focus on our studies. In addition to your daily studies, you also need to continue your research on the measles vaccine.
I have some new ideas recently. I will sort them out in a while and we can discuss them together. "
Wang Mengde taught.
He is also not prepared to relax on vaccine research.
Because many vaccines are not available yet, he plans to develop them one by one in advance.
Not only will he gain fame and fortune personally, but it will also bring great benefits to the country.
Next, he plans to develop the 'measles, mumps and rubella triple vaccine'.
This vaccine can be used to prevent three common acute respiratory infectious diseases in children: measles, mumps and rubella.
These three diseases are the most common and most easily infected diseases in children.
Once it is successfully developed, hospitals, especially children's hospitals, will have a much easier time in the future.
After the successful development of the 'MMR triple vaccine', he then started working on the hepatitis B vaccine. If he had been the first to develop the hepatitis B vaccine, the rewards would have been huge.
"Yes, senior brother."
All eight of them said this with excitement.
After the measles vaccine was successfully developed, they were all envied by their peers.
Many young people in the hospital spoke with a sour tone, saying that they were lucky to have a good master and a good senior brother.
Then all the good things happened.
Now that they heard that their senior had a new idea, they couldn't help but imagine what kind of vaccine would be developed next.
After arranging work for several junior fellow students, Wang Mengde was about to deal with the documents on the table when he was called away by Dean Lu again.
When we arrived at the dean's office, Dean Lu kindly started chatting with us: "Comrade Wang Mengde, how are you doing recently? I heard there's a happy event at home. Congratulations."
"Thank you for your concern, Dean."
"Well, you're welcome. If you have any difficulties, please tell the organization and me in time."
"Yes, Dean, there are no difficulties for the time being. If there are any difficulties, I will definitely report to the organization and you, the Dean."
"That's right. You've done so much for the country and the people, so it's only natural that we care about you."
We chatted about family matters for a while and drank a cup of hot tea.
Dean Lu changed the subject and said seriously, "Comrade Wang Mengde, there is something that the organization would like to seek your opinion on.
It is because of you that our country has basically eradicated schistosomiasis. This has had a huge impact internationally.
Many countries in the world greatly appreciate our country's attitude of serving the people. At the same time, some countries that are also troubled by schistosomiasis have asked us for help and want us to send some medical staff to help them fight the epidemic.
These countries are basically located in Southeast Asia and Africa, and they are the countries we want to fight for and unite with.
Because you are an expert in this area, the organization wants to know if you are willing to go abroad to provide support."
After a pause, seeing Wang Mengde was about to speak, he added: "Don't worry, this is not an organizational task, but a consultation. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, we will send someone else.
Although the types of schistosomiasis in some countries are different from those in our country, we have conducted experiments and the prescriptions you developed are very effective. "
"Dean, if it's just ordinary rescue and assistance work, I won't go."
Wang Mengde said without thinking.
"I have been continuing to study vaccines recently, and I have other research plans in the future."
Going abroad to provide aid has no practical significance for him now.
"Okay, I understand. The institute will fully support your research." Dean Lu said with a smile.
Out of the dean's office.
He did not go back directly, but tightened his cotton jacket and walked towards the Acupuncture Research Institute.
I found Qian Dayong and Zhu Tao and briefly told them about my plan to go abroad to provide aid.
"Brother Dayong, Taozi, if you are interested, hurry up and apply to Vice President Zhu to go abroad. Although it will be a bit painful, it will still be of great help to your future development."
"Going abroad to provide assistance?"
