Chapter 181 God Has Eyes
In the modern sense, miasma is the poisonous gas generated by the rotten animals and plants in tropical primeval forests. The main reason is that no one effectively deals with the dead bodies of animals. In addition, the tropical temperature is too high, and the poisonous gas produced after the death of the animals is too high. However, the ancients had limited understanding of miasma and attributed some unknown diseases to this, such as rash, allergies, epidemics, and even altitude sickness. Most of the miasma caused by mosquitoes flying in groups.
In the eyes of the ancients, a large number of mosquitoes with falciparum bacteria gathered together to fly. From a distance, they looked like a dark gas. After the smoke passed, people and animals fell to the ground and died with ferocious faces. Therefore, the miasma in southern China's tropical and subtropical areas refers more to malaria. Zhao Bing had never seen such a terrifying scene, but he always felt that it was a bit exaggerated. Even if a person was infected with malaria, he could not die immediately. According to him, people were scared to death by legends, and the survivors were actually infected with falciparum after being bitten by them, causing death.
"Director Hao, are those who have not been cured for a long time? Are they sensations of nonsense when they are in a coma, bloody urine, and convulsions all over their bodies?" Zhao Bing thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, yes, all the symptoms Your Highness said were accompanied by diarrhea." Hao Yuntong said excitedly. Your Highness did not see the patient, but his judgment seemed to see him in person, which made him see hope.
"There may be a rescue. You can show me all the prescriptions you prescribe!" Zhao Bing nodded and ordered.
Hao Yuntong immediately went back to get the prescription, and in a short while he took all the prescriptions prescribed during this period. Zhao Bing understood this, and didn't know what medicines were used to match, but he still looked very carefully. He wanted to find a familiar medicine in it - Artemisia annua...
Malaria can be said to have been associated with each other since humans were born, and it has not been eliminated until modern times and is still rampant. Humans have been forbidden to treat this chronic disease for thousands of years. However, it was not until modern times that the American quinoline was discovered, and it was considered to have a special treatment medicine, which was a phased victory over malaria. Since ancient times, the Lingnan region, which was affected by tropical climate in China, has been a high area of malaria, especially Guangxi and Hainan, which were severely affected areas. Doctors of all dynasties have tried to diagnose and treat it and obtained countless proven prescriptions, but there was no complete cure in the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Bing now doesn't know whether he should thank God. Before he came to this world, it was when China made breakthrough progress in malaria treatment, developed the new antimalarial drug artemisinin, and won the Nobel Prize. Of course, there is no reason not to publicize such a good character in the Chinese people. It was also the overwhelming information about malaria and that the present of artemisinin also comes from the records of the ancients.
Zhao Bing also knew that artemisinin was an extract. Not to mention that there was no production conditions now, he was not capable of giving him a set of ready-made testing equipment. After all, it was the scientific research result of two generations of professionals for decades. If he had to make a shipbuilder come up with it, wouldn't it be a big joke? But he understood that Quininming was also the inspiration obtained by researchers after the locals soaked the bark of the cinchona tree to treat malaria after soaking the bark of a cinchona tree in water, and finally developed the finished medicine.
Since he used his own "new medicine" to cure Liu Fu and the patients on the epidemic ship, Zhao Bing has become much more courageous. He felt that since artemisinin is an extract of Artemisinin, Artemisinin, as a raw material, should also have a therapeutic effect. At most, the dosage can be doubled. But while he was bold, he did not act rashly. He thought that it would be better to see if today's doctors know whether Artemisinin is used to treat malaria. After all, Ge Hong, a native of the Ming Dynasty, was a figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it has been thousands of years since then, and someone may be using his prescription.
"Well, that's it." Zhao Bing suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky through the window, murmured, with a rare piety on his face.
"Your Highness, is this recipe?" Hao Yuntong approached and asked.
"Yes, how effective?" Zhao Bing took out the prescription and said. This is the only prescription used for Artemisia annua, and it is also the one closest to the original prescription. It is to wash and mash a few fresh Artemisia annua and decoct the soup and remove the residue, add an appropriate amount of wine and mix well, and then take it. However, Ge Hong's prescription he remembered was to twist the Artemisia annua juice and drink it directly without decocting it. At that time, the report also emphasized that the key to the technology of artemisia annua is to prevent the medicinal properties from changing.
"Your Highness, the effect is not good." Hao Yuntong looked at Yan and said.
"Oh, such a good prescription has been ruined by future generations." Zhao Bing sighed in a pretentious manner.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with this?" Hao Yuntong asked hurriedly. He knew that after some prescriptions were prescribed, later generations would fill in the drugs according to the condition during the application, so that the prescriptions passed down to later generations were very different from the original formula.
"Director Hao, go back and wash and squeeze fresh Artemisia annua to clean and juice. There is no need to decoct, do not add other medicines, just take it to the patient, and then see how the effect is." Zhao Bing said.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will go back and treat it according to the law." Hao Yuntong was overjoyed. His Highness still did not hide anything from him this time, so he told him secretly. It seemed that he had not lost trust due to unfavorable work.
"Slow down!" Hao Yuntong was about to leave, but Zhao Bing suddenly called him, "Director Hao must not tell others about this prescription first. You should also avoid others when making medicine. Everything is up to you personally, and you must not reveal that the prescription comes from this king. Just remember to tell me the effect of the treatment."
"Your Highness, why is this?" Hao Yuntong asked in confusion. His Highness had never concealed anyone else before, and this time he could not even reveal his source, which made him very surprised.
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Zhao Bing smiled, "I know that there are many newcomers in the medical hospital, and some of them are dissatisfied with you. Now as long as you cure the miasma, no one dares to talk nonsense anymore!"
"Your Highness is so proud that I am still in a state of shattering!" Hao Yuntong was stunned for a moment and knelt down with tears in his eyes.
As Your Highness said, although Hao Yuntong studied in the Imperial College and was a vocational official, he had a short time and had too little experience, and he had no major achievements. It was just because Your Highness loved to be the head of the Royal Medical Bureau, but it was a good time at that time. But after Your Highness opened the mansion, he became a senior official in charge of medicine, and then many doctors were recruited in the mansion, including Xinglin Holy Master.
