Chapter 580: Human body temperature is reduced by 0.4 degrees, fever medicine

   After a pause, the leader of the CDC took a deep look at the proposed doctor.
"As far as I know, there are more than 120,000 kinds of fungi that have been discovered, and there are no anaerobic bacteria in them. Our CDC found that this unknown pathogenic bacteria is eukaryotic, capable of producing spores, and has no chloroplasts. Nuclear organisms. The possibility that it is bacteria can basically be ruled out."
  I don’t know how the health unit leader who just made the suggestion learned biology?
  Speaking is not at all tuned.
  So that after being refuted by the leadership of the CDC, he made a big prank.
   "Ah, the Western Bureau just didn't worry about your CDC's testing, and deliberately used this method to confirm this extremely infectious disease. What kind of bacteria is it?"
  A chief doctor attending the consultation next to him hurriedly helped Director Yang to make the rounds.
  Current officials are not as good as current officials.
Director Yang is the head of the Health Bureau and he is in charge of the hospital.
  In contrast, the leader of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, whose surname is Shu, has much weaker supervision over hospitals.
   "It turns out that this is the case! Director Foreign's concern is also valid. After all, this pathogen has never been discovered by people, and there is nothing wrong with being careful." Director Shu of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not intend to complain with Director Foreign.
   hurriedly borrowed the donkey from Po Xia, and took the incident with one sentence.
  According to the level of authority, the CDC is also subject to the leadership of the Health Bureau.
  Definitely not offended to death.
   "Director Shu, I don't know which door your disease control detects this unknown pathogen belongs to?" Director Yang maintained his majesty.
  "It belongs to the phylum Ascomycota! In terms of species, it is a relatively popular type of fungus."
  The leader surnamed Shu hurriedly replied.
  Ascomycota is the largest group of fungi.
  It and Basidiomycetes are called higher fungi. The reproductive hypha cells appear in a shorter binuclear stage. One feature that distinguishes them from other fungi is the production of ascos.
   "Well, since it belongs to the phylum Ascomycota, it should be better to deal with. Does penicillin have no effect on this unknown fungus?" Director Yang nodded and asked again.
   Penicillin has been found to be effective sterilization by humans, and it is still widely used to this day.
  Its bactericidal effect is also obvious to all.
"We have tested that penicillin has almost no effect on this unknown fungus. Antibiotics including streptomycin, chloramphenicol, oxytetracycline, and tetracycline are also ineffective against this unknown fungus. Even some compound drugs, such as naphthalene Tefenketoconazole is also ineffective against this unknown fungus. Due to the short detection time, many characteristics of this unknown fungus are still being observed and studied."
  Director Shu’s words made everyone sitting feel heavy.
  You should know that the development of human medical technology to this day can almost fight against most diseases, relying on the antibiotics developed by humans.
  But at this moment, all the ‘biological weapons’ that mankind is proud of are all ineffective.
  This is a very scary thing.
  Like a woman in the U.S. country, every time she has a small cold and other diseases, she will be treated with antibiotics.
  So that the woman's dependence on antibiotics became more and more serious.
  The bacteria in the body have gradually developed strong drug resistance and continue to evolve.
  Later, every time a woman fell ill, she could only continuously increase the level and dosage of antibiotics.
  This is a vicious circle.
  Because it takes at least ten years for humans to study a new antibiotic, and bacteria can reproduce every twenty minutes, and it only takes about two years to evolve a new generation.
  In other words, the speed at which humans develop new antibiotics is far beyond that of bacteria.
  Finally, tragedy happened.
  The woman who abused antibiotics was sick again.
  Although it was just a small cold this time, the doctor discovered that the pathogenic bacteria in her body had strong immunity to all human antibiotics.
  In other words, human antibiotics can no longer destroy the super bacteria that evolved in this woman.
  The woman could only die in the end.
  It is this tragedy that has sounded the alarm for mankind.
  Since that time, human scientists and doctors have begun to study how super bacteria are produced? What are the disadvantages of people misusing antibiotics?
  Finally, after research, it was discovered that antibiotics turned out to be a double-edged sword.
  While eradicating the germs, it will also cause the germs to become resistant to drugs, which will accelerate their evolution and mutation.
   becomes more and more difficult to deal with.
  At this time, human scientists finally realized that the serious consequences of antibiotic abuse will only make the originally simple diseases more and more difficult to treat. It is more likely to give birth to a large number of super bacteria that humans cannot deal with.
  Many developed countries have successively promulgated legal treaties to regulate the correct use of antibiotics.
  Nowadays, China, a major country that used antibiotics the most, has begun to strictly guide medical institutions and pharmacies to use antibiotics correctly and rationally.
  Even in the backward rural areas, the phenomenon of going to the clinic to hang up with a little cold has been reduced a lot.
   "Director Shu, do you think this unknown fungus belongs to a super fungus like the super bacteria that once appeared in the U.S.?" Li Quan asked.
   "There is such a possibility." Director Shu looked serious.
  At this moment, Director Shu’s cell phone rang.
  After he answered, his expression became more solemn.
"Just now the CDC laboratory called and provided some new research results on this unknown fungus. They use human blood to obtain nutrients. The temperature is higher than 60 degrees Celsius, so long as it can maintain half of the temperature. They lose their vitality when they are small. High levels of alcohol can destroy them."
  The results of these studies came too timely.
  After listening, everyone was excited.
  "Great. Alcohol and high temperatures above fifty degrees can destroy them. At least we have found drugs and ways to deal with them."
Director Yang took out a pack of tissues and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
  I believe that everyone here is under great pressure.
  Major progress has been made in the research of this unknown fungus. Knowing what methods can eliminate them, everyone is not as scared as before.
   is like many people who are influenced by feudal superstition and fear ghosts, zombies, vampires, ghosts and other ghosts and monsters. It's because everyone doesn't know how to eliminate these things.
  If people know that fire can burn them and guns can kill them, will people still be afraid of ghosts and gods?
"Alcohol can kill this unknown fungus, at best it can only be used to disinfect and prevent transmission to others. But it can't be used to treat patients. Another method of killing at high temperature is also difficult to actually use. If we humans stay at sixty In a high temperature environment, let alone staying for more than half an hour, even ten minutes will be unbearable."
  Speaking is the dean of Beijing First Hospital.
  What he said is like pouring cold water on everyone.
  Like rabies, once infected, it is basically 100% death.
  This unknown fungus is the same.
  Alcohol cannot be used inside the human body. Moreover, once this fungus is infected, it should be lurking in the blood of the human body, as well as in the tissues such as muscles and internal organs.
   is almost everywhere.
  Use alcohol to destroy them. I'm afraid that the unknown fungus has not been killed, and the patient will have his braids and straight legs.
"Alcohol is indeed impossible to kill unknown fungi in patients. However, I think that high temperature killing should be worthy of in-depth study. According to my understanding of fungi, bacteria, and viruses, it can be killed in half an hour under a high temperature of 60 degrees Kill this unknown fungus. Then it is very possible to lower the temperature, at a high temperature of 50 degrees, for two hours or longer, the same effect can be achieved to kill them."
Director Shu is indeed the director of the CDC.
   has a deep research on fungi.
  This point of view that he put forward made everyone present a little bit brighter.
  Yes, the high temperature of 60 degrees is too high for the human body to bear for a long time, so lower the temperature and prolong the sterilization time.
"Director Shu, I think your proposal is quite good. We should do various researches, on the one hand, continue to explore whether other drugs can kill this unknown fungus. On the other hand, we can test this unknown fungus in various high temperatures. Survival time in the environment."
  Director Yang’s medical skills are so mediocre, and he even made jokes in public.
  However, in some major decisions, it is quite level. And act decisively.
   "Speaking of high temperature sterilization, I also have a small suggestion." Li Quan interjected again at this time.
   "Oh, please speak!"
Director Yang looked at Li Quan.
  This young dean from the magic city behaved quite extraordinary in the consultation.
  I want to listen, what good advice does he have.
"According to the statistics of modern scientists, our human body temperature has been dropping. In the past two hundred years, our human body temperature has dropped by 0.4 degrees. Two hundred years ago, our human body temperature was basically 37 degrees, but today, basically Both are around 36.6 degrees.
  This is not a good thing.
  The decrease in body temperature means that our human immunity is also decreasing.
  My personal advice is that the condition of the three antique dealers who were initially infected with an unknown fungus is rapidly deteriorating. If nothing happens, their skin will roll and fall off soon. At that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to save them. "
  Medical staff who have been in the burn intensive care unit know it.
  As long as the burn area of ​​the epidermis of a person's body exceeds 40%, it is life-threatening.
  The epidermis is equivalent to a protective film of the human body, and it is the outermost layer.
  When they are damaged, the human body will lose the most important layer of protection, and it is easy to be invaded and infected by various germs.
  At the same time, the corresponding organs will also be damaged.
  Therefore, patients whose burn area is more than 40% are prone to life-threatening.
  Basically, the larger the burn area, the lower the survival rate.
  The epidermis of the three antique dealers had already begun to appear cracks. As long as the condition continued to deteriorate, it would be equivalent to 100% of the whole body burn area.
   Once it develops to that extent, it is impossible to save life.

  Even if a drug that can deal with this unknown fungus is found, there is no way to save them.
   "Dean Li Quan, what do you mean?"
  Director Shu seems to be straightforward and doesn't like to bend.
"What I mean is, immediately find a way to raise the patient's basal body temperature so that the unknown fungus in their body can be suppressed. As long as they can slow down their reproduction and expansion speed, they can prevent their condition from deteriorating rapidly. It is equivalent to The patient won precious treatment time."
  Li Quan’s opinion is very good.
Director Yang and the others nodded repeatedly after listening.
   "It is easy to raise the patient's body surface temperature, but it is not easy to raise the patient's body temperature in an all-round way." The dean of Beijing First Hospital took the conversation.
  He is telling the truth.
  It is difficult to raise the patient's basal body temperature, and there are certain risks.
  No one dares to operate easily.
   "I have a Chinese medicine for fever, which can raise the patient's body temperature by about two degrees." Li Quan said directly.
  "Fever medicine of Chinese medicine type?"
  Everyone looked at Li Quan in surprise again.
  This young doctor is not easy.
The proposal proposed by    is also very special.
  "Yes, pure Chinese medicine formula has little negative effect. The patient's current condition deteriorates, and his physical condition will definitely deteriorate. Taking this Chinese medicine fever medicine that I prescribe has little effect on the body, but it will have certain benefits."
  Li Quan nodded seriously.
  Fever-reducing medicine, everyone has heard of it and prescribed it to the patient personally.
  But it’s the first time I have heard of fever medicine.
  Just to see that Li Quan didn’t seem to be joking, they didn’t believe it.
  "Special matters will be handled. If Dean Li is sure, please prescribe medication for the patient."
  Speaking is the dean of Beijing First Hospital.
  Director Yang should have spoken, because he is the highest-ranking person here, but he did not agree with Li Quan’s plan.
   Instead, he looked at the dean of Beijing First Hospital and asked him to speak on his behalf.
  These people are in high positions one by one, and they see far-reaching interests and stakes.
  If the fever medicine prescribed by Li Quan works, it is certainly a credit. Everyone is happy.
  If by any chance a patient takes the fever medicine, his condition becomes more serious and even dies, who will bear the responsibility?
Director Yang will never bear this responsibility.
   "Okay, I will prescribe the patient immediately. By the way, since the patient has a fungal infection, according to the normal response of the human body, if there is a bacterial infection, it should have a fever. I don't know if the patient's body temperature has been measured?"
  Li Quan decided to ask the situation clearly before taking the medicine.
  The human body has a complex immune response mechanism.
  When the human body is attacked by viruses or bacteria, the body will make an immune response, which is also known as fever and inflammation.
  "The patient's body temperature has been measured many times, and there has been no increase in body temperature. This unknown fungus is very powerful and seems to be able to paralyze the body's immune defense system."
  The person who answered the question was the dean of the Beijing First Hospital.
  As the dean, he manages everything, but he has a clearer understanding of the situation of the three antique dealers, which is very competent.
   "That's OK, I will prescribe a prescription for three patients now."
  Li Quan took a pen and paper and quickly wrote a prescription.
  The above medicines are all Chinese herbal medicines.
  "This is my prescription for fever. You just need to grasp the medicine according to the prescription and decoct it. After the patient takes it, there is no accident. After four hours, the body temperature will rise by about two degrees."
  Li Quan handed the prescription to the dean of Beijing First Hospital.
