The intelligence refreshed today was extrely ti-sensitive.
In a few more days, once the news spread, most doctors would know about it.
This piece of intelligence would beco worthless.
But the team from the Jinn University School of Life Sciences had just published their paper today, and most people didn’t know about it yet.
This was especially true for the patient Miaoli had ntioned yesterday.
The Clearing Qi and Stabilizing Blood Formula could save his life.
Li Xu couldn’t sit still.
’It’s composed of five Chinese dicinal herbs including Honeysuckle... but which five herbs are they exactly?’
For the first ti, Li Xu felt disdain for his intelligence system. ’Couldn’t it be a little more precise?’
’Wait, no.’
Li Xu ca to a realization.
Even if the intelligence had provided the details, he couldn’t just take the dicine and save the person directly.
He couldn’t explain the source of the Clearing Qi and Stabilizing Blood Formula, and the hospital wouldn’t risk using an unverified treatnt.
Ultimately, he could only watch helplessly as the patient’s organs failed...
The most important thing right now was to find the latest issue of *Dragon Country Virology*.
’Where can I get it?’
So large hospitals and universities subscribed to *Dragon Country Virology*.
’Is there still ti to go and borrow a copy?’
Every minute that passed, the patient’s condition would grow more perilous.
’Oh, right, I almost forgot. Most journals have online versions now.’
Li Xu slapped his forehead, hurriedly turned on his computer, and searched for the *Dragon Country Virology* website.
As expected, he found the electronic version of the latest issue.
The cover headline was, "A New Dawn in the Treatnt of a Fatal Tick-Borne Infectious Disease—Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndro (SFTS)."
Li Xu quickly clicked on it.
He skimd through it rapidly,
searching for the relevant information.
"...The team utilized modern scientific and technological thods to tackle the problem. They combined network pharmacology with molecular docking techniques to precisely screen over a hundred Chinese dicinal herbs, selecting Honeysuckle, Danshen, Forsythia Suspensa, Ligusticum Chuanxiong, and Xuanshen to form a compound formula."
"...The key component in this formula, Luteolin, acts like a precision-guided ’biological missile.’ It directly targets the cell cycle regulatory proteins CCNA2 and CDK2, ’freezing’ the host cells in the DNA synthesis phase in a dose-dependent manner, thus depriving the virus of the ’hotbed’ it needs for replication..."
"...In organoid experints, not only was the viral load significantly reduced in the group treated with the Clearing Qi and Stabilizing Blood Formula, but the damage to hepato-biliary organoids caused by the infection was also effectively controlled..."
He found it!
The Clearing Qi and Stabilizing Blood Formula was composed of five herbs: Honeysuckle, Danshen, Forsythia Suspensa, Ligusticum Chuanxiong, and Xuanshen.
These were all common Chinese dicinal herbs.
The paper also explained the principles very clearly.
Reading on, Li Xu saw more detailed experintal data.
For instance, it detailed how to proportion different dosages according to the severity of the patient’s infection.
The hospital could perfectly follow the data in this paper to treat patients with the tick-borne disease.
He imdiately called Miaoli.
BEEP BEEP BEEP~
No one answered.
Li Xu wasn’t surprised. Miaoli was probably busy.
He sent a ssage in the group chat: "@Miaoli, how is the patient with the tick-borne disease you ntioned yesterday? I’ve found a treatnt."
Imdiately after, he posted the link to the latest online issue of *Dragon Country Virology* in the group, along with a few screenshots.
Miaoli didn’t reply.
But the others in the group were stunned.
"Holy shit, Li Xu, you’re incredible! You actually found it."
"This issue was just published today!"
"Do you just refresh the *Dragon Country Virology* page all day or sothing?"
"Amazing!"
"@Miaoli, hurry and take a look! There’s a way to save the patient!"
"The Jinn University School of Life Sciences is aweso! To think they actually developed a miracle drug for the tick-borne disease."
"Yeah, who would have ever thought of this combination?"
There are thousands upon thousands of Chinese dicinal herbs.
Combinations of two, combinations of three, combinations of four, combinations of five...
The number of possible permutations is astonishing.
And yet, their team had managed to find a combination capable of treating the tick-borne disease.
You had to give them a thumbs-up.
Hu Qiming: "@Li Xu, Miaoli is probably busy. Just wait a little while longer."
Li Xu: "Okay. I’ll wait ten minutes. If she still hasn’t replied, I’ll go to the hospital and find her."
Jiang Peng: "(Thumbs-up emoji)"
...
「Guanghe District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine, inside a patient room.」
Miaoli and Chief Physician Guo Yu were checking on Wang the Third’s condition.
After a full night of ergency treatnt, the patient had regained consciousness, but his vitals were still not optimistic—abnormal liver function, a continuously dropping platelet count, and his kidneys were also beginning to show signs of damage.
"The family has already decided to transfer him," Guo Yu sighed. "Let them go to the City People’s Hospital and try their luck."
Miaoli nodded and returned to her office with a heavy heart, preparing to write up the transfer paperwork.
The mont she sat down, she noticed her phone screen flashing nonstop—the group chat had exploded with activity.
She tapped it open, and her pupils abruptly constricted!
’This... How is this possible?!’
She checked the paper’s title and the authors’ institution again and again—the latest issue of *Dragon Country Virology*, published by a team from the Jinn University School of Life Sciences.
The paper elaborated on the therapeutic effects of the Clearing Qi and Stabilizing Blood Formula on the tick-borne disease, even including preclinical trial data and an analysis of the molecular chanism.
"Honeysuckle, Danshen, Forsythia Suspensa, Ligusticum Chuanxiong, Xuanshen..." she murmured the ingredients of the formula, her heart beginning to race.
’These herbs are as common as they co, but combined, they can precisely inhibit the replication of the tick-borne virus?’
What shocked her even more was that the paper clearly noted the dosages and expected effects for different stages of the disease—it was like a treatnt plan tailor-made for her current patient!
’Li Xu... How on earth did he find this paper? It was just published today!’
Miaoli shot to her feet, her chair scraping harshly across the floor.
Ignoring the dical records on her desk, she clutched her phone and dashed toward Guo Yu’s office.
"Director!" Miaoli burst through the office door while Guo Yu was in the middle of his work.
"What’s wrong?" Guo Yu looked up. Seeing her agitated expression, he frowned and asked, "Did the patient’s condition worsen?"
"No! He can be saved!" Miaoli thrusted her phone at him. "Look at this!"
Guo Yu took the phone. His brow furrowed tighter as his eyes scanned the paper’s title.
He scrolled quickly, reading the key paragraphs, when his finger suddenly froze—
"’The Clearing Qi and Stabilizing Blood Formula can significantly reduce viral load and protect hepato-renal function...’"
His expression shifted from confusion to shock, finally settling on a look of incredulous excitent.
"This paper... was it really just published today?"
"Yes! By a team from Jinn University. The experintal data is incredibly thorough!"
Miaoli’s voice was strained. "Director, our pharmacy has all these herbs. We can prepare the formula imdiately!"
Guo Yu took a deep breath, rapidly weighing the risks.
As the departnt director, he knew Wang the Third’s situation better than anyone: transferring him was extrely risky, but they had no other treatnt options if he stayed.
And now, a paper from a top-tier journal had fallen into their laps like a gift from heaven, bringing a sliver of hope!
"Get the head of the Pharmacy Departnt and Old Liu from the TCM Departnt over here," he ordered decisively. "We’re holding an imdiate consultation!"
