Chapter 1433: Chapter 1071: Fourth Uncle_2 Chapter 1433: Chapter 1071: Fourth Uncle_2 Director Yuan, upon hearing this dical history, was almost certain: the patient was suffering from rabies.
Soon, the laboratory departnt in Affiliated Hospital No. 1 found rabies virus antibodies in the patient’s cerebrospinal fluid and blood, thus confirming the diagnosis of rabies.
In fact, looking along this line, the diagnosis was very tily, without any delay, and the treatnt was also tily. Upon arrival at Affiliated Hospital No. 1, the patient was admitted to the ICU for symptomatic treatnt.
Rabies, with a mortality rate of one hundred percent, scares doctors, and its incubation period can be as short as one week or as long as ten years. Once symptoms manifest, the patient becos extrely agitated, may sotis exhibit violent tendencies, and also develops a characteristic hydrophobia.
Director Yuan from the Departnt of Infectious Diseases reviewed the patient’s diagnostic and treatnt process; there were no issues. The question now was how to treat the illness.
How the treatnt should be carried out was now up to Yang Ping to introduce. Everyone is quite familiar with Yang Ping, who is now a legendary demigod figure in the dical field – at least, the tales of his exploits grow ever more divine, especially amongst the young doctors, akin to talking about ani characters.
Facing the experts of Affiliated Hospital No. 1, Yang Ping spoke frankly: “The thod I propose isn’t idle speculation, nor is it for the sake of being flashy, but rather has a solid theoretical foundation. If rabies kills because of damage to the nervous system, why can’t we focus on that and protect the nervous system? By using dication to induce a low-energy state in the brain, we can effectively reduce the occurrence of rabies complications in the brain and lower the damage to the nervous system. anwhile, the patient’s immune system continues to function. If during this ti, the immune system can produce enough antibodies against the rabies virus, it can destroy the virus. In other words, let the patient undergo a sort of ‘suspended animation’ to outpace the virus in this immune race.”
“The rabies virus targets the brain, usually, that’s how it goes. Once the rabies virus enters the human body, the immune system bravely combats it. But as the battle goes on, the virus decapitates the brain, the General, and the war is naturally lost. In fact, if the General isn’t decapitated so quickly, the immune system might actually stand a chance to eliminate the virus. Hence we’ve devised a strategy: as soon as the battle begins, we hide the General and declare that he has fallen in battle. This way, the virus, adept at decapitation, is stumped and can do nothing but continue to battle the immune system. Given enough ti, the immune system may eliminate the rabies virus. Previously, the immune system failed to destroy the rabies virus mainly due to insufficient ti, or even if it was winning, the General was ultimately decapitated, leading to inevitable defeat.”
Putting it this way makes it easy to understand, so the eting doesn’t feel so rigid. Since it’s a new proposal, everyone discusses it in a relaxed manner.
Director Yuan had been pondering this thod for days, and while it’s indeed a wildly innovative idea, it hadn’t gone through any animal or clinical trials; the theory was being applied directly. But this was an exceptional circumstance – with a mortality rate of one hundred percent, using a new thod is an attempt at a breakthrough. At worst, the situation remains the sa – one hundred percent mortality rate.
If support for Yang Ping was earlier due to respect for Professor Su and in awe of Yang Ping’s reputation, after mulling over it for days, there was genuine conviction. Whether or not the thod is effective, at least it’s a theoretical breakthrough that doesn’t just run in circles.
The old thods were certainly ineffective; without new solutions, one could only stick with the old ways – and if they really worked, there wouldn’t be a one hundred percent mortality rate. In truth, the old thods were equivalent to having no thods at all.
“Professor Yang, I’ve been thinking for days, and what you’ve said makes sense. To use the young people’s phrase, it’s truly a wide-open brain hole. Although there have been no experints, I feel there really is a chance of success,” Director Yuan was not just flattering, he was speaking the truth.
Director Luo from the ICU said: “Here’s what I think. So things can be sowhat predicted theoretically, even without experints, we can have a asure of confidence. Having just listened to Professor Yang’s explanation, I was initially perplexed – what kind of new thod could there be for such a disease, and one that’s thought up on the spot? But after hearing about it, I felt quite enlightened. So things indeed can be understood without experints. This new thod has really been eye-opening for . In fact, many things we’ve always done this way, without reflecting on whether they’re effective or even considering ways to improve the outco.”
What everyone said was the truth; normally, the majority of their work is repetitive, with few opportunities for innovative thinking. After all, innovation cos at a cost, and without a certain level of curiosity, it’s hard to find the motivation for innovation.
While discussing, a Doctoral Student ca in and reported that the latest virus antibody titers had increased.
Increased? That ant there was a turning point in the illness, which signified a great chance for the immune system to eliminate the rabies virus. Yang Ping felt more confident in his heart.
This eting not only involved the participation of seasoned experts in the discussion but also provided an opportunity for young doctoral candidates to engage. Seeing Yang Ping, they felt a sense of familiarity and spoke more boldly; after all, they were all young people, and these doctoral students considered him one of their own.
After the eting, Yang Ping prepared to go ho, when Professor Su imdiately called and instructed him to quickly co to his office.
What for? Surely his father-in-law wasn’t too busy today and had prepared a Boxed al for him, nor would he expect Yang Ping to join him for als every ti. Yang Ping muttered to himself as he headed towards Professor Su’s office.
Seeing a few guards in naval uniforms in the corridor, he reported his own na, and the guards imdiately took him to Professor Su’s office.
Xiao Yang was puzzled, why there were guards stationed outside Professor Su’s office.
He knocked and entered, inside sat a majestic man in military attire who, surprisingly, looked quite similar to his own father-in-law, with the rank of a general on his shoulders.
“Co in quickly, call him Uncle Four!”
“Uncle Four!”
Xiao Yang hurriedly called out.
The General stood up and patted Xiao Yang’s shoulder: “So you are Xiao Yang, I’ve heard of you before eting you, and your reputation is quite significant.”
This left Xiao Yang at a loss for words.
“Just a silly boy, who knows only to smile foolishly, sit down and keep Uncle Four company for a chat,” Professor Su said affectionately.
Uncle Four? Which Uncle Four? Oh, Xiao Yang rembered, Professor Su had four brothers, and he had t the other three at Su Nanchen’s birthday banquet, but he had only heard from Xiao Su that this uncle was in the military.
“Several of my forr superiors had their surgeries perford by him, and his fa is indeed significant,” Su Qinghe said with a hearty laugh.
Xiao Yang blushed, and Professor Su said: “Young people only know how to perform surgeries, not how to talk, Old Four, don’t take it to heart.”
“Elder brother, you have a keen eye, this young man is no ordinary person, the youngest expert in the health care team, and several of my forr superiors can’t stop praising him; today, I finally et him in person.”
“Professor Yang!”
“Call Xiao Yang!”
“You see, so modest, my old superiors all address you as Professor Yang, if I call you Xiao Yang, they would certainly criticize when I see them,” Su Qinghe joked.
“He’s our own family, you can just call him Xiao Yang,” Professor Su said with a smile.
After thinking it over, Su Qinghe said: “Alright then, Xiao Yang, Professor Chang Qirui is currently in charge of a very important project; should anything happen to him, the project could be delayed by 5-10 years until its success, we didn’t anticipate such an ergency. I’ve also just heard from your father that rabies has a 100% mortality rate, which is an unchangeable fact. However, I heard you’re using a new thod of treatnt, can you give a brief on it, how confident are you? Just speak frankly, I just want to understand the situation.”
“There is still hope, it’s not necessarily 100% fatal,” Xiao Yang replied.
The very latest test report shows that the rabies virus antibody titers have risen. The very latest test report shows that the rabies virus antibody titers have risen.
