Chapter 724 Huanglong Soup
"Don't be nervous. This method is only used when traditional treatment is ineffective. If traditional treatment is effective, naturally this crude method will not be used." Xiao Wu asked everyone to be calm.
Yang Ping said with regret: "It's a pity that this may be his only choice."
The people surrounding Yang Ping were puzzled, so Yang Ping had no choice but to move the mouse, bring up Wang Dapeng's medical records, and look at the column for recording allergy history, where a list of drug names was written, including almost all antifungal drugs.
Antifungal drugs are necessary to treat this disease because the microorganisms that brew in the intestines are fungi.
Everyone was dumbfounded, Xu Zhiliang said in a characteristic stuttering voice: "What - mean? Must - use intestinal food residues and mixed flora for whole transplantation?"
"Professor's time is so precious, do you think it's a joke?" Song Zimo said. He knew Yang Ping's style. Once he came into contact with this case, he would automatically carry out a series of thoughts in his mind, including diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, etc. wait.
"Do you really want a stool transplant?" Robert covered his red nose.
"Please use standardized academic terms!" August reminded him again, he hated casual and imprecise people the most.
"Do we need an incision? How to avoid infection? The intestines are a huge reservoir of bacteria." Zhang Lin's thinking also spread.
It is such a dangerous operation to open the abdominal cavity, cut open the intestines, and put feces into the intestinal cavity. Once infected, the consequences will be disastrous. The intestines are the bacterial reservoir of the human body, and the number of bacteria accounts for 90% of the total number of humans.
"How stupid do you have to be to use incision technology to transplant feces? The correct way is to purify the feces into fecal water and then pour it into the intestines." Xu Zhiliang got better during the discussion and actually stopped stuttering. .
"Use a stomach tube to pour fecal water. When the fecal water enters the stomach, it will be killed by gastric acid, which will destroy most of the bacteria. In this way, the small amount of bacteria that can enter the intestinal tract can continue to play a role?" Zhang Lin did not dare to show weakness. .
Xu Zhiliang glanced at him: "The method of transplanting the intestines with purified fecal water is not top-down, but bottom-up - enema, which can be assisted by colonoscopy. Teacher Zhang, you opened my eyes. Could it be that Your new enema method? Injection through stomach tube?”
Zhang Lin blushed for a while. He just tried his best to open up his mind and could barely follow the discussion. Unexpectedly, he went in the wrong direction.
"Inject it through the stomach tube. Isn't the idea too heavy on taste?" Li Guodong had just calmed down his turbulent stomach, but after being messed with like this by Zhang Lin, his stomach and intestines started acting up again.
"Gastric tube injection is nothing, it can be taken directly. In the history of traditional Chinese medicine, Ge Hong's Huanglong Decoction, one of the main ingredients is feces. It is used to treat food poisoning and severe diarrhea. It is eaten directly. Isn't it surprising? An accident?" Zhang Lin remained calm and spoke plausibly.
August, Robert, and Ivan looked at Yang Ping at the same time, hoping to get a reasonable explanation. Does Chinese medicine really have such a strong treatment method?
"It does exist, and because of the treatment method of using feces as medicine, modern people have a deep misunderstanding of traditional Chinese medicine. They think that traditional Chinese medicine is pseudoscience and ridiculous. There is nothing more stupid than using feces to treat diseases."
"But later research on intestinal flora refreshed people's understanding. In 1958, Ben Eiseman, a surgeon at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, treated four patients with severe pseudomembranous colitis. He used every imaginable method - antibiotics , glucocorticoids, probiotics, etc., but the patient's condition did not improve, and became more and more serious, and even went into shock. When he was desperate, Dr. BenEiseman thought of using feces to treat the disease. He just used it with the mentality of giving it a try. The patients' family members used their stools to make fecal water and gave the patients enemas. The treatment results were very surprising, and the three patients recovered and were discharged within a few days.”
"You have to know that Ge Hong's Huanglong Decoction was used to treat diarrhea more than 1,600 years ago. That is, the Chinese had mastered a similar method of adjusting intestinal flora, although it was only empirical. . Many therapies or prescriptions in traditional Chinese medicine are often considered to be pseudoscience and are often attacked. This is because modern science has not yet developed to the level of fully revealing traditional Chinese medicine. For example, using feces to treat diseases may seem absurd, but it is actually full of scientific principles. Today, more than a thousand years later, we understand that feces can also cure diseases.”
Yang Ping patiently explained to everyone.
When August, Robert, and Ivan heard this, they were in awe of Chinese culture. Under the technological conditions of ancient times, Chinese medicine was so advanced. Western medicine in the same era was still using the barbaric and absurd treatment method of bloodletting.
"Of course, we cannot stay in ancient times and must look forward. Modern medicine is the mainstream, but we must maintain awe and respect for tradition and not slander and slander at will." Yang Ping said slowly.
"Salute like a five-thousand-year-old civilization!" Robert straightened his back and stood at attention.
August and Ivan also straightened their backs and maintained an upright posture.
——
Wang Dapeng stayed in the VIP ward for 48 hours. He felt very comfortable. If conditions allowed, he felt that it would be no problem to stay for another ten days and a half.
After the results of the blood draw came out, both Wang Dapeng and Hu Xiaoliang were stunned. No one could have imagined such a result.
There is actually a disease in the world that makes you drunk even if you don't drink. If Wang Dapeng hadn't been drinking frequently in society and had a strong tolerance to alcohol, he might have been in a dizzy state of drunkenness every three days. It was precisely because of his strong tolerance to alcohol. , Therefore, he did not feel much with such a high alcohol concentration in his blood, and he mistakenly thought it was fatigue caused by running around. This result completely eliminated the misunderstanding between the two.
At that time, Wang Dapeng firmly believed that Hu Xiaoliang remembered the hatred he had in middle school, and that catching him for drunk driving twice was just public revenge.
Hu Xiaoliang insisted that Wang Dapeng wanted to make trouble unreasonably and find excuses to evade legal sanctions.
Now the two were stunned.
"Auto-Brew Syndrome?"
Not to mention ordinary people, even doctors, few have heard of this disease, let alone seen it.
"Your intestine, your own intestine, is a small brewery, and the wine produced is absorbed by yourself, so you don't need to drink. As long as you eat starchy foods, it has the same effect as drinking." Xiao Wu said patiently according to the inspection report.
The question was raised by the General Surgery Department, and naturally the General Surgery Department was responsible for following up. Xiao Wu was in charge of Wang Dapeng's diagnosis and treatment on behalf of the General Surgery Department.
Because the inspection report contained professional vocabulary, Wang Dapeng couldn't understand it. He just flipped through it and pretended to be pretentious.
"You said I can make my own wine? Make my own wine and drink it myself?" Wang Dapeng asked in surprise.
Xiao Wu nodded, and Zhang Lin, who came with him, also nodded.
Wang Dapeng was very surprised: "I actually have this kind of special power? But the stool I pass out every day is nothing special. Isn't it wine residue?"
Xiao Wu said seriously: "This is a disease. If it is not treated, I am afraid you will not be able to drive in the future, and you will be in a dangerous state at all times. You may suffer from alcohol poisoning one day."
"No wonder I sometimes feel dizzy, as if I'm drunk. I thought it was fatigue caused by running to the construction site." Wang Dapeng thought about it carefully and realized that the doctor was right. He did often feel dizzy, but he never thought it was due to being drunk. state.
"But I'm not really drunk, I'm just dizzy. Logically speaking, with so much alcohol, I would get drunk, right?" Wang Dapeng was puzzled.
"Because your liver's hangover-removing enzyme, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, is high in content, it's difficult to achieve a deep state of intoxication." Xiao Wu explained.
"So that's it. When I was a member of society, I drank liquor as if it were water. I often drank down the whole table, and it didn't happen to me. So I have a talent?" Wang Dapeng suddenly realized.
Xiao Wu continued: "It can be said that you had a great talent for drinking before, but no matter how strong your tolerance is, it is only strong. If the alcohol concentration rises again and exceeds your tolerance, you will still suffer from alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning has serious consequences. It’s going to be fatal.”
"So, treatment is necessary." Zhang Lin emphasized.
Wang Dapeng thought for a while: "How to treat it? Isn't it troublesome?"
"It was originally very simple and could be treated with medication, but you are allergic to antifungal drugs and have severe exfoliative dermatitis, so you can only take special methods." Xiao Wu put away the checklist.
Wang Dapeng sighed: "I used to treat fungal infections. I was allergic to several medicines and almost died from exfoliative dermatitis."
"So, you need to take a special approach. To put it simply, do a fecal transplant, transplant someone else's feces into your intestines, because feces contain a lot of bacteria, which can help you establish normal flora, and your problem The intestinal flora is abnormal now," Xiao Wu said slowly and clearly.
"Put other people's feces into my stomach???" Wang Dapeng's eyes widened.
