Cui Hantang couldn't think of any new ideas for a while. Seeing that the two people's arrogance had subsided, Zhang Xiao secretly laughed in his heart and said: "Well, you can do this, but you can't talk about it. You two have set up this society, how can it be difficult?"
Is it because I don’t have success to provide support for everyone? I have to find a future for them anyway.”
Du Yibin said: "I have a bigger idea..."
"Ideals are ideals, reality is reality. I think it is not impossible to let them out as staff. Most of the elders who go to local offices have a blank look. There are a few locals who are familiar with the situation and have a reliable attitude. They are actually very useful as consultants.
Use it. As long as you don't make too much noise, the Senate won't come to ask. This will at least give these people some opportunities to study government affairs. They won't let it go when they take the public examination. It's better than now
It’s better to stay in the club and study the real test papers and the mock papers.”
After some sweet talk, Zhang Xiao finally sent Cui and Du away. He thought to himself that this piece of jade was really a piece of cake! Today's conversation was so full of energy that it felt like he was jealous...
Zheng Mingjiang did not leave for Huizhou as scheduled. The day before she left for Huizhou, the Provincial and Hong Kong General Hospital sent someone over to ask her to go to the hospital for "consultation."
"Consultation?" Zheng Mingjiang was surprised. As the director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Lingao General Hospital, nine out of ten cases she was asked to consult were pregnant women facing major risks.
"I'll be right away," she said.
She hurried to the Provincial and Hong Kong General Hospital, and sure enough, the nurse who came to greet her took her to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
"Where is the mother?" She hurriedly asked someone to get the surgical gown and prepared it for disinfection.
"It's not a maternal matter," the nurse said. "Doctor Fu is waiting for you."
"Doctor Fu? Consultation?" Zheng Mingjiang was confused and hurriedly asked her to come for consultation. He didn't go into the ward to have a meeting first? What important patient?
When I arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology office, not only Fu Qiliang was there, but Lin Motian was also there. Both of them were sullen and silent.
"Where is the patient?" she asked.
"I'll take you there." Lin Motian said.
The two took the suspicious Zheng Mingjiang to the baby room of the obstetrics and gynecology department and opened the door of a ward.
There are six or seven small beds in the room, and the baby is sleeping soundly. There is a nurse taking care of it, and it looks peaceful and peaceful.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Mingjiang vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Look." Fu Qiliang whispered, "This is the first time I've seen it since D-Day."
The nurse carefully uncovered the thin quilt on the baby and untied the diaper. Zheng Mingjiang was shocked after seeing it and blurted out: "Female pseudohermaphroditism?"
"Yes," Fu Qiliang nodded, "Look at the other children."
The nurse untied the quilt one by one, and Zheng Mingjiang looked at each child one by one. It was the same for every child, and looking at the age, the difference was only two months at most.
"Is this what's going on?" Zheng Mingjiang was surprised. The incidence of pseudohermaphroditism is very low. Under normal circumstances, the probability is only one in 100,000 to 1 in 300,000. Based on her experience in the old time and space,
From my medical experience, except for one case during training, I have not seen another case in more than ten years. There are actually six or seven cases here!
Obviously this cannot happen naturally. It should be caused by some kind of artificial drug. It should be the intake of a large amount of male hormones that caused such an effect. Zheng Mingjiang suddenly remembered the "Zhuantai Pill" he saw in Foshan.
", could it be this?
But if you think about it carefully, although some medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine do contain more male hormones, it is difficult for natural medicinal materials that have not been extracted and purified to achieve such effects. Obviously, this has nothing to do with traditional Chinese medicine.
Fu Qiliang took out a document and handed it over: "Take a look, I think this matter is very strange. It may be related to the antibiotic eucalyptus."
Thanks to the unremitting promotion of the Provincial and Hong Kong General Hospital, some pregnant women from relatively wealthy families in Guangzhou have also begun to choose to give birth in the hospital. However, in the past few days, there have been two or three cases of newborns with moldy external genitalia in the hospital.
Then the family members thought it was the hospital's responsibility. After Fu Qiliang received the treatment, he felt that something was strange:
"...You know, the incidence of pseudohermaphroditism is extremely low. An obstetrician may not encounter even one delivery in his lifetime, and all of them are female pseudohermaphrodites. This is very strange."
Fu Qiliang naturally found it strange that there were so many pseudo-hermaphrodites, or female pseudo-hermaphrodites, appearing in such a concentrated and short period of time, and he immediately told Lin Motian about it.
"...We went to the joint midwifery clinic and asked the midwives to report whether there were similar situations in home delivery..."
The joint midwifery clinic is a medical improvement project launched by the health bureau in Guangzhou and other places. In order to fill the gap in hospital beds and reduce the risk of childbirth, midwives training is carried out in various places. Whether it is a stable mother in the past, there are women who are willing to enrich this profession.
No matter what, you can participate in relevant training for free. After passing the internship assessment, you will be issued a practicing certificate, affiliated to the midwifery joint clinic, and carry out delivery activities in the homes of pregnant women. Related delivery records must be kept and archived.
"As a result of the investigation, we found that there are many similar cases of false hermaphroditism in women, involving about ten babies. In addition, there are more than ten cases of abnormal genital development of male babies,"
"Abuse of testosterone drugs?" Zheng Mingjiang blurted out.
"That's right." Fu Qiliang nodded.
"Where are these children?" Zheng Mingjiang said, "We need to treat them as soon as possible. How much remediation can be done now can still save some of them!"
"Except for a few who died due to illness, all of them have been admitted in the past few days." Fu Qiliang said, "Dr. Lin and I think it is better to invite you for consultation and make a comprehensive assessment before making a treatment plan."
"This is no problem." Zheng Mingjiang said, "I can postpone the trip to Huizhou or send someone else to go. But there is a problem with this matter!"
"Yes, Dr. Lin thinks so too. Testosterone drugs can only be produced by our pharmaceutical factory. The mothers of these children should have used testosterone drugs during pregnancy."
"So, some medicine has been released again."
"Yes, the time when testosterone and dihydrotestosterone act on the development of the fetal external genitalia is mainly between 8-15 weeks of pregnancy, while the normal pregnancy period should be around 40 weeks. In other words, only after we observe abnormalities in newborns
If we start investigating this case, it means that this batch of medicines should have arrived in Guangzhou more than half a year ago."
“When did this thing go into production?”
"Strictly speaking, it has never been officially put into production." Zheng Mingjiang said, "So far, it is still a small-scale trial production. There is only a small-scale first-phase clinical trial in the outpatient clinic of Lingao General Hospital. To be honest, I didn't expect anyone to
It will be associated with reincarnation."
Lin, Fu and others are medical staff, and their perception of the development of medicine is a black box. To be precise, doctors only know what medicines they currently need and what medicines the medical department can produce, and that's it. So I heard that pharmaceutical factories produce testosterone.
I was quite surprised afterwards because this medicine was of no use in this time and space.
Zheng Ming and Jiang Jiu are in Lingao. She is also responsible for part of the pharmacy work at Bairen General Hospital, so she often interacts with the technicians of Danzhou Pharmaceutical and knows the origin of this thing.
"In addition to testosterone, conjugated estrogen is also put into production." Zheng Mingjiang said.
"But these two things are of little use to us now." Lin Motian was a little confused.
The main indication of conjugated estrogen is to relieve the symptoms of vasomotion, mucosal atrophy, osteoporosis, etc. that occur in women during menopause, not to mention testosterone - I have not heard of any male veteran who has a strong demand in this regard.
To say that there is demand is nothing more than that there may be some markets for export sales.
"You're right." Zheng Mingjiang nodded. The demand for testosterone and combined estrogen is indeed not very large. The pharmaceutical factory mainly conducts research and development as an introduction to the research on steroid hormone synthesis technology. However, Zheng Mingjiang is not too concerned about these.
I understand. I only know that Hao Long, who is in charge of research and development, told her that the development and production of these two sex hormones is to serve as a springboard for the subsequent production of hormone drugs.
"It turns out that it is indeed a good thing to be able to produce various hormones." Fu Qiliang said, "But this drug is still in the first phase of clinical trials, and the application scenario is so small. How did it get out?
of?"
"When it comes to the source, there are only two places, one is the pharmaceutical factory, and the other is the pharmacy of Bairen General Hospital." Zheng Mingjiang recalled that she was very concerned about drug control. She had never thought of it at that time.
The medicine will be scattered, but there is a fear that a few half-baked pharmacists in the pharmacy will get the wrong medicine.
Could it be that someone was causing trouble in the pharmacy? Zheng Mingjiang's heart skipped a beat.
She thought for a while and said, "No, I have to go back to Lingao quickly. If this thing spreads, it will cause endless harm!" After that, she got up and left.
Lin Motian hurriedly stopped her: "Don't be anxious! This thing might have been done by a group of people. Since it has come out now, we still have to get to the bottom of it. I don't think you need to be anxious at this moment. Let's start tomorrow
Yes, we will formulate a report on this matter and submit it to Dr. Shi. Since you are now in charge of the joint investigation team, why not investigate together."
The opinions of Lin and Fu are still based on investigating the loss of antibiotics. Since testosterone is an experimental drug, its output is not large, and the amount of dissipation must be very limited. It will not have much impact on the entire health department, so it can be postponed.
We'll investigate later.
Zheng Mingjiang felt that what they said made sense, and nodded: "Then I will go to Huizhou as planned. However, I went to Foshan this time and bought a lot of 'magic medicine', some of which also contain purified crystals.
They are also some scattered drugs. There are no conditions for testing here in Guangzhou..."
"We will arrange this." Lin Motian said, "Send it to the Ministry of Health's medical laboratory for testing as soon as possible."
"What should we do about the treatment of these children?" Fu Qiliang said, "There are now more than 20 male and female child victims identified, and there may be more after further investigation. Drug treatment requires controlled drugs, which we do not have here."
