Chapter 117 Gastroenterology Xuan Yongda
"Lao Xuan, tell you the truth. You don't have to doubt the effect of the imported omeprazole drug. You will know tomorrow, but I can't take it out clearly because the origin of these drugs is haha, you know, you can't say much. So I can only change the packaging and take it out."
Xuan Yongda thought to himself, this brat is really brave, but it doesn't matter to him. He cares more about the comprehensive information about this medicine.
"Chen Xia, tell me again, what kind of diseases does this medicine mainly treat?"
"It is mainly used for gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and reflux esophagitis, which are common diseases in gastroenterology. In addition, it also has a good effect on acute gastric mucosal bleeding. Of course, if it is Helicobacter pylori, it is not enough to rely on this medicine alone."
"Wait, what is Helicobacter pylori?"
"Helicobacter pylori, oh, it is not recognized by the international mainstream medical community yet, but it will definitely be the most commonly dealt with in the gastroenterology department in the future. It is a parasitic, a Gram-negative bacteria. More than 70% of gastric ulcers and more than 95% of duodenal ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori."
Xuan Yongda's eyes became blurred again.
Any new medical discovery begins with not applause and flowers, but rather the suspicion and suppression of the mainstream medical community, that is, interest groups.
Just like the discovery of Helicobacter pylori.
In fact, humans discovered the existence of Helicobacter pylori very early, but unfortunately, they only observed an unknown bacillus before, and did not conduct more in-depth research.
It was not until 1979 that Australian pathologist Robin Warren and physician Barry Marshall jointly discovered a spiral-like bacteria in the patient's gastric mucosa.
So the two tried to use antibacterial drugs to treat it, but they did not expect that they had very good results.
The two of them were excited and began to invest a lot of time to isolate the spiral bacteria, try to cultivate it in vitro to confirm its existence and pathogenicity, and eventually succeeded.
The two who were extremely happy began to participate everywhere to learn to introduce their new discoveries, trying to tell the medical community that gastric ulcers and even gastric cancer may be caused by this bacteria. Radical cure bacteria is an effective means to treat gastritis and gastric ulcers.
But the result was that no doctor believed the view of both of them. At that time, internal medicine doctors generally believed that stomach problems were caused by stress or spicy diet.
No one believes that stomach problems can be caused by bacteria, and thinks this is nonsense.
Robin Warren and Barry Marshall were not discouraged, and later wrote letters to the most authoritative and famous medical journal of the Lancet to explain their views.
However, the editors of the Lancet thought they were talking nonsense and rejected the manuscript many times, and the two attended various academic conferences everywhere and were often ruthlessly sarcastic and ridiculed by their peers.
Until 1994, the NIH in the United States published new guidelines, acknowledging that most recurrent peptic ulcers may be caused by Helicobacter pylori, and recommended antibiotic treatment.
Finally, in 2005, Robin Warren and Barry Marshall won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this discovery, and the world medical community recognized the discovery of these two medical experts.
Time goes back to the Fourth Yuezhou Hospital in 1981, in the office of the Director of the Department of Gastroenterology.
"Chen Laoshi" is still introducing the advanced aspects of proton pump inhibitors, but he is already thinking about whether to intercept the study on the discovery of Helicobacter pylori?
"Of course, if you want to kill this Helicobacter pylori, it is not enough to have a proton pump inhibitor. It is best to use four drugs in combination, namely two antibiotics, one bismuth agent and one proton pump inhibitor. But these drugs are not available in China at present. I have a way to get all four drugs, but this drug is too expensive and most people can't afford it."
Xuan Yongda sighed: "I think it's a pity that you said this. The incidence of stomach diseases in our country is quite high. Because it cannot effectively control gastritis, it will eventually lead to gastric ulcers, stomach perforation, and even gastric cancer. It's a pity that you can't get the good foreign medicine you mentioned."
"It's a pity at the moment, but in the long run, our country will gradually show these good medicines, and they will definitely be affordable by ordinary people. But in front of me, I can only do my best to get some medicines to relieve the patient's pain."
Chen Xia was very pretentious and said it clearly if she wanted to make money. Why do she do it so great? You can't feel wronged.
Xuan Yongda suddenly asked in a low voice: "If some patients have good conditions and need it, can you help get some of the four-pair drugs you mentioned?"
Chen Xia's eyes lit up: "Hehe, of course, I have a way to get the medicine, but this is not a matter of a few dollars. A course of treatment will take at least 2 weeks, at least several hundred yuan."
It is impossible to get medicine from Chen Xia, who is desperate for money, without paying a little price. In his own words, he is "high risk and high profit".
"Okay, there are such patients. I will contact you at that time, but if it is effective, let's take a look at the patients in the hospitalization department first."
The old fox was fooled for a long time, but he still didn't see the rabbit or the eagle.
"Okay, it's already noon. Let's go to the cafeteria for dinner. Today I brought Wushan roast chicken from the provincial capital to ensure you can eat enough."
Chen Xia's words evoked Xuan Yongda's saliva, and Xuan Yongda took off his white coat.
"Why are you still standing there? Let's go."
In the cafeteria.
Lao Xuan's roar sounded throughout the cafeteria: "Hey, Lao Qi, I said you are a robber, you are holding so much meat. Hey, let it go, I said Feng Runguang, have you asked who this meat is? Go away, my meat."
Anyway, no matter how Xuan Yongda yelled, the barbecue in the box would not be avoided. He felt distressed. He swears that he would never come to the cafeteria if there is something delicious in the future.
Now even Dean Gu was not satisfied, "Lao Xuan, why are you quarreling? What's wrong with eating chicken legs? You call it and see if it should be? How do you prove that these two roast chickens are yours?"
Ren Yuanfei also yelled at the side: "That's right, this is the apprentice. The surname is Chen but Xuan. Comrades, I'll take it!"
So everyone rushed up, pulling the chicken legs and holding the chicken wings. Anyway, in the blink of an eye, there were only two chicken shells left, which made Xuan Yongda's face blush.
Chen Xia looked at it and curled his lips. He didn't want to eat meat anymore, so he wanted to make some winter bamboo shoots and pickles soup to drink. He couldn't feel the aroma when he saw the meat.
It’s really good to have big yellow croaker, but unfortunately Chen Qiu’s cooking skills are really average and he can’t make the umami flavor of big yellow croaker.
In the afternoon, Chen Xia continued to deliver medicines for free in each department. Medical staff have a high status in society and are the first person that relatives and friends think of when they encounter diseases.
