Chapter 24: The Key to Hepatitis B Treatment
After get off work, Chen Xia said goodbye to everyone and went home.
Most of the medical staff in the Fourth Hospital are not native to Yuezhou, so this group of employees lives in the hospital staff community.
Generally, there is a layout of two bedrooms and one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, and one family occupies a house.
In this era, the dormitory of the Fourth Courtyard is definitely a high-end community. Not to mention the countryside places like Ke Town, they are unique in Yuezhou area, so the most enviable thing for Yuezhou people is the job in the Fourth Courtyard.
Later, after being transferred to the local area, some locals were recruited through recruitment, and basically residents lived in Kezhen Town. As for the farmers near Kecheng who wanted to become employees of the Fourth Hospital in one go, only Chen Xia was the only one in the past few years.
Chen Xia and his colleagues said goodbye to each other and were about to ride a bicycle home. Gu Lin hung at the end of the crowd, and he used his mouth to signal "Braised pork, braised pork."
Chen Xia pretended not to understand and kept using her mouth to indicate, "What? What?"
Gu Lin was so angry that she stood there sulking with her hands on her waist.
It takes an hour to ride a bicycle from the Fourth Courtyard to Qingfeng Village. The summer in late August was still quite hot. When Chen Xia returned home, she was already sweating profusely. Chen Qiu had already prepared supper.
As usual, Chen Xia closed the yard door, then took out the ice bricks and soda like magic, which surprised Chen Qiu and Chen Dong.
During dinner, Chen Xia gave them another meat bun, and said, "You must keep it confidential about what we are eating. If you tell me and outsiders know about it, the three of us will never be able to eat again."
In the countryside, you don’t have to worry about being indifferent but not being equal. Everyone is obviously as poor as a worker, and you suddenly become a worker and still have big fish and ice watermelon all day long, so you can’t stand it.
The era that defeated everything just passed, and many people's thinking has not turned around.
So eating meat in silence is the best way now. Chen Qiu and Chen Dong certainly understand that children who are afraid of poverty know how to protect food the most. If you say they don’t understand anything else, you tell them that they will never be able to eat meat buns and popsicles again. Keeping their mouths tighter than anyone else.
After dinner, Chen Xia sat alone in the yard to enjoy the cool air, rushing the brain-like mosquitoes from time to time.
He suddenly had an idea that now he has money and hiding money was not a good idea in the 1980s, when prices changed day by day. Is it possible to buy a house in Ke Town? I can also bring my younger brothers and sisters to the town to study.
Anyway, they are no longer ready to farm now, and they have to ride a bicycle back and forth for two hours every day. Even a young man like Chen Xia can't stand it. If he encounters a strong wind and rainy day, he will be really suffering.
As for the staff community of the Fourth Hospital, it is probably in a bad mood. New employees like Chen Xia have no hope.
Chen Bingkun was originally qualified to get a house, but because his wife and children both lived in the countryside, he chose to get a compensation and went back to the countryside to build a new house.
The idea of buying a house arose, and like ambition, he could no longer stop. Chen Xia decided to go to find out if there is any house for sale tomorrow at noon.
When he went to work the next day, Ren Yuanfei took Chen Xia and others to the liver disease ward for rounds today.
China is a major country in liver disease. At least 1 out of 10 people is hepatitis B patients. In addition to other hepatitis, the comparison should be 8:1 in this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine, which is quite high.
Hepatitis, especially hepatitis B, was not allowed to go to the hospital if he did not develop the disease in the 1970s and 1980s. There was no physical examination at all, and no one knew whether he had liver disease.
But when the attack occurs, the virus is replicated, and the liver function and cholesterol are floating up. In the end, it develops into cirrhosis and liver cancer. The treatment costs are not something that ordinary families can afford.
Liver disease is actually a disease of wealth and honor. It cannot be tired, cannot drink, cannot stay up late, etc. This is precisely the most difficult condition to achieve now.
Like farmers, they engage in the hardest and most tiring agricultural production all day long, where can they have time to rest? They can carry more than 100 kilograms of burden at any time, which is a taboo for liver disease.
As for alcoholic liver disease, it is quite rare in this era. If you can’t even eat enough, who has the conditions to drink? Even fatty liver is rare these days.
Chen Xia followed Ren Yuanfei into the liver disease ward. At first glance, he saw that he was all the little yellow. His eyelids were yellow and his skin was yellow all over his body. It was indescribable. The patients here were mainly patients with jaundice hepatitis.
While asking about the condition, Ren Yuanfei looked at various test indicators. Chen Xia still followed the hospitalization record and became a promising job as an intern.
"Xiao Xia, do you know much about this jaundice hepatitis?"
"Master, my dad used to talk about this disease to me."
"Then tell me what is jaundice hepatitis."
Chen Xia thought for a while and said, "This is a general term for a large category of hepatitis. It is a clinical symptom diagnosis, mainly caused by the increase of bilirubin when hepatitis occurs. There are many reasons for this, such as common viral hepatitis, such as hepatitis A and B, and it is also found in drug-induced hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, etc."
Ren Yuanfei was determined to ask more deeply, "Then can you tell me the reason?"
"This is due to the hepatitis virus that destroys liver cells, destroys and reconstructs liver tissues, and blocks the cholangiotubule, which leads to increased binding bilirubin and non-binding bilirubin in the blood, causing yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes and sclera of the eyeball."
Ren Yuanfei was very happy. Through the questions asked during the two rounds, he had already seen that Chen Xia's theoretical knowledge was quite solid, and his level was above several ordinary resident doctors. Even his eyes looked at several hospitalized doctors became quite dissatisfied.
For several hospitalized doctors, the appearance of this kid is definitely a disaster. His medical knowledge was beaten by an intern who became a monk halfway through. Damn it can't survive this life and fall.
So the look at Chen Xia was not so friendly, and Chen Xia was so scared that he quickly bowed and begged for mercy.
There is no particularly good way to treat hepatitis now. Generally, some liver protection treatments are taken and then bed rest is required. Chen Xia found that this liver protection treatment is mainly based on Chinese medicine.
I couldn't help but sigh.
Yellow-cholangitis hepatitis is not scary, and the prognosis is generally good when treated properly.
However, for those viral hepatitis, especially hepatitis B patients, there is no interferon or nucleoside drugs in this era. The treatment of simply protecting the liver, reducing enzymes, and reducing jaundice is also a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause. In the end, cirrhosis and even liver cancer will still gradually develop.
If the treatment is not effective, the lifespan of patients with liver disease will not be very long.
Including Chen Xia's "cheap mother" in this life, she also passed away due to liver disease. Although I don't know which hepatitis it is, I think it should be hepatitis B, and I am definitely inseparable from it.
For a family, men or women are strong laborers at home. When the pillar has liver disease, not only will he lose his labor force, but he also has to continue to spend money to take medicine. In this difficult era, it is a catastrophe for the entire family.
Chen Xia was a salted fish in hepatobiliary surgery in his previous life. It is not uncommon for a series of surgical diseases caused by chronic liver disease, so he especially knows the importance of using antiviral drugs for hepatitis B patients.
The important thing in treatment is to inhibit the replication of viruses in the liver, and to restore liver function to normal by reducing the replication amount of viruses, so as not to reach the point of cirrhosis and liver cancer is so serious. This is the key.
Chen Xia also has these drugs in the space hospital, but even if he takes out such a killer, he can't tell clearly even if he keeps his mouth.
Fortunately, his elder sister Chen Chun will become an academic authority in the liver disease department in the future. In the future, he will take out these nucleoside drugs when he has the opportunity. This will not only help his elder sister become a world-renowned doctor, but also make himself a world-wide rich man with this medicine.
Thinking of this, Chen Xia giggled a little.
Ren Yuanfei slapped him in the back of the head: "Why are you smirking? Be more serious in the ward, go and go to the next bed."
Because of the complexity of liver disease patients, Chen Xia spent the whole morning in the rounds until her legs became numb.
Finally back to the department, I could sit down and breathe.
Before Chen Xiatan could start the disease course record, Gu Lin appeared in front of him again.
"elder brother."
"Good girl, what's the matter?"
"Brother, you promised me yesterday to bring me a portion of braised pork."
"I, did I say it?"
"Chen Xia! You..."
Seeing Gu Lin's big eyes glaring out again, Chen Xia's mouth curled upwards, "Stop glaring, if you glar again, you will become hyperthyroidism and sudden eye."
Gu Lin gritted her teeth and suddenly grabbed Chen Xia's neck.
"Chen Xia, you are unfaithful, you actually have the heart to deceive me such a pure and cute little girl with simple thoughts. You are not a human being."
The little doctor next to him couldn't help laughing.
If everyone hadn't known that Gu Lin was a neurotic girl, otherwise looking at the current appearance of the two, I didn't know that Chen Xia had become Chen Shimei, and she had played with her and then dumped her.
The head nurse could suppress the scene at a critical moment. She opened the door and cursed: "Gu Lin, what do you look like? Let go quickly, why don't you go to work!"
The little girl left the doctor's office with great grievance, looking forward to the food that would fly away for the whole night.
Just as she walked to the door, Chen Xia whispered from behind:
"If someone helps me get the rice today and cook a dish for me, I will consider giving her a few pieces of braised meat."
Gu Lin's eyes suddenly shone, and she quickly turned her head:
"Brother, let me leave the rough work of making food to the little girl. You can sit down and have a good rest. No one of you can compete with me."
After saying that, he jumped out to work.
As soon as Ren Yuanfei came out of his office, he heard her last passage and asked strangely:
"Did this little girl take the wrong medicine? When did she be so easy to talk to?"
