Chapter 220 Dysentery and Yan Jiecheng were intercepted

For the next direction.

Wang Mengde was thinking about this a few days ago.

He feels that more efforts should be made to combat the epidemic infectious diseases of this era.

There were many infectious diseases in the 1950s and 1960s, such as plague, cholera, measles, smallpox, typhoid fever, dysentery, kala-azar, schistosomiasis, malaria, leprosy, sexually transmitted diseases, etc., which greatly harmed people's health.

Here, cholera was quickly brought under control and even eradicated in 52.

Because of him, the dangers of schistosomiasis and measles have become much less serious.

Schistosomiasis is now almost eradicated in the South.

Even if someone is infected occasionally, there is no need to panic. They will recover after taking some Chinese medicine.

Moreover, not only in China, but also abroad, especially in Southeast Asia and Africa, schistosomiasis has been brought under control due to the country's foreign medical assistance.

Of course, they are not as thorough as domestic prevention and control, so it is difficult to completely eliminate it.

At best, we can treat some of the discovered cases, but the root cause is not addressed.

Measles is thanks to the vaccine. Although the country has been in great difficulties in recent years, it has spared no effort in promoting the vaccine.

Special funds are set aside for vaccinating children.

In addition, the successful development of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine was not only used domestically, but also exported in part, earning a considerable amount of foreign exchange.

He also found treatments for malaria and plague.

I believe that in the next few years, as the sanitary environment improves and a large number of barefoot doctors appear, this will become a common disease.

As for the remaining infectious diseases, smallpox was declared eradicated in the country at the end of last year.

When a person is infected with smallpox, his or her entire body will be covered with red rashes, which will then form scabs and eventually leave pockmarks all over the face.

Many nobles and emperors in the history of China and foreign countries could not escape the "poisonous clutches" of smallpox. Famous ones such as Kang Mazi of the Qing Dynasty were survivors of smallpox infection.

In 1950, the state stipulated that all citizens should be vaccinated against smallpox, commonly known as "vaccination."

Since that year, a vaccination craze has been set off in our country.

The smallpox vaccine prepared at that time was completely scraped from cows. According to a rough calculation, the smallpox vaccine scraped from one cow is enough for about 10 people.

At the same time, the vaccinia virus inoculated into the back and chest of the cow is directly exposed to the air and inevitably contains bacteria.

Later, Academician Zhao of the Chinese Academy of Engineering from the Smallpox Vaccine Laboratory of the Beijing Institute of Biological Products wrote an application, and the proposal to use chicken embryo cells to study smallpox vaccines was approved.

Then, Academician Zhao of the Chinese Academy of Engineering led a team to invent the heat-resistant liquid smallpox vaccine, which solved the problem that the vaccine must be refrigerated, making it difficult to promote it in remote and rural areas.

Since then, three compulsory national vaccinations and two vaccinations have been carried out.

After more than ten years, through high vaccination rates and close control of confirmed patients, the number of smallpox cases in the country has dropped sharply from more than 10 to more than 300.

Finally, in June last year, after the last imported case of smallpox recovered, no more cases of smallpox have been reported in China.

"Next, I plan to study dysentery."

Wang Mengde said slowly.

Although dysentery and malaria differ in one word, they are actually very different.

The difference lies in the different causes, transmission methods, clinical symptoms and treatment methods.

Dysentery is a complex disease characterized by inflammation of the intestines, especially the colon.

Symptoms include abdominal pain, tenesmus, frequent bowel movements, and stools with mucus or blood.

The causes may be bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasites and other microorganisms or chemical irritants. People often refer to bacillary dysentery when they say dysentery.

"Dysentery!"

Zhang Qiaoyu was surprised for a moment, and then she and several other people looked confused.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there are classic prescriptions for dysentery, such as "Peony Decoction" and "Bai Tou Weng Decoction".

In Western medicine, there is also a special medicine called chloramphenicol.

Although there are large-scale dysentery outbreaks from time to time in the country, because there are many treatment methods, the impact is relatively smaller than other infectious diseases.

"Brother, dysentery is a disease that can be treated with medicines in both Chinese and Western medicine. Is it unnecessary for us to study it further?"

Zhang Qiaoyu said bluntly.

After she said that, she felt a little regretful.

This is questioning my senior brother!

Wang Mengde didn't care, he smiled and explained: "You know this, I also know this.

However, what you don’t know is that, after my analysis, chloramphenicol in Western medicine is an antibiotic that has great side effects.

Many patients developed various complications after taking it, but because there was no other way, they could only take chloramphenicol to solve the dysentery problem first.

As for the classic Chinese medicine prescriptions such as "Peony Decoction" and "Bai Tou Weng Decoction", they also have the disadvantages of being inconvenient to carry and taking a little bit of time to take effect.

The most important thing is that an experienced doctor needs to make a diagnosis before prescribing medicine based on the results of the diagnosis.

Therefore, I chose to study dysentery again to see if I could develop a Chinese patent medicine that is easy to carry and has a quick effect. "

Chloramphenicol was banned in later generations due to various side effects.

But in this era, there are no other alternatives, so it is still very popular in China.

Even these medicines still need to be imported from abroad using precious foreign exchange.

"So that's it."

Zhang Qiaoyu suddenly realized.

"Brother, what should we do first?"

At this time, Li Xiang also stood up and asked.

Sunday.

Early in the morning.

Yan Jiecheng was dressed up, wearing a half-worn cotton coat and cotton pants with only two patches on them, which was rare.

He came to the central courtyard excitedly and happened to meet Wang Mengde who was washing by the sink.

"Brother Meng De, I'm here to borrow a bicycle."

"he~tu"

After rinsing his mouth, Wang Mengde pointed to the bicycle next to his house and said, "Jie Cheng, I've already pushed the bicycle out, just ride it away."

"Thank you, Brother Meng De. Don't worry, I'll push it there in a bit, and then ride a little further when we get there."

Yan Jiecheng walked to the bicycle with shining eyes, and then pushed it forward carefully.

He didn't dare ride in the alley. With his mediocre riding skills and only a few experiences, he might crash into a wall or a tree.

If it gets damaged, it will cost a lot of money to repair it.

After Yan Jiecheng's figure left the Moon Gate, Xu Damao came out from the corridor. He stretched his neck to look suspiciously, then asked:

"Brother Mengde, where is Yan Jiecheng? He is still pushing your bicycle."

"Da Mao, why are you up so early? Normally when you are resting, you don't get up until after ten o'clock."

Wang Mengde did not answer, but asked with a smile.

He didn't want to tell others that Yan Jiecheng was going on a blind date, so he asked back.

Based on my understanding of him, he got up so early because he must have had another argument with Lou Xiao'e.

"Uh~"

Xu Damao was a little stuck.

Last night, he and Lou Xiao'e had a big fight over the issue of children.

Then I slept on the small bed in the living room.

Who knew that I forgot to change the coal briquettes last night, and the quilt was a bit thin, so I woke up from the cold.

So I just got up and prepared to go back to the old house to discuss with my parents what to do.

It has been almost four years since they got married, but Lou Xiao'e's belly has not moved.

So he thought about getting a divorce and finding a new one.

Anyway, according to his conditions, it would be easy for him to find a beautiful young girl.

But he was somewhat unwilling in his heart. He married Lou Xiao'e at that time, but it was mostly for the sake of profit.

But now, in the steel rolling mill, he is still a small projectionist in the publicity department, and his father-in-law's previous connections are of no use to him at all.

Not only that, I didn’t make much money.

The Lou family, especially Lou Bancheng, completely looked down on him.

"Did you have another fight with your wife? Damao, you should go to the hospital and check the situation."

Wang Mengde said casually with a smile.

"Brother Meng De, I'm in good health, what can be the problem?"

Xu Damao was somewhat reluctant to continue talking about this matter, so he asked again:

"By the way, Brother Mengde, wasn't Yan Jiecheng dressed in fancy clothes just now? Better than what he wore during the Chinese New Year?"

"You know, just ask Uncle Er."

Wang Mengde looked at him with a smile, then said.

"Xu Damao, are you planning to do something bad again?"

At this time, Sha Zhu stared at the messy hair and walked out of his living room with sleepy eyes.

As a single man, he wakes up very early every morning.

There was no other way. There was no other entertainment activity in the evening, and his wife was not around. Plus, it was cold, so as soon as it got dark, he would clean up, wash up, and lie down on the bed.

"Bah, you idiot, just wait for me."

When Xu Damao saw his mortal enemy coming, he uttered a harsh word and turned and ran away.

If you don't run, you'll be beaten.

Seeing his enemy leave, Sha Zhu felt better. Just as he was about to talk to Wang Mengde, He Shengnan's voice came from the side room:
"Meng De, breakfast is ready."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Wang Mengde agreed, then went home with his toiletries, leaving Sha Zhu alone, looking at his back with envy.

It’s good to have a wife. Every day when you wake up, there is a ready-made breakfast.

Unlike him, I have to cook for myself every day.

Thinking of this, when he was about to go to the backyard to chat with the deaf old lady, he asked her to help him urge Aunt Yi.

Why hasn’t this blind date been arranged yet?

noon.

Yan Jiecheng returned the bicycle with a happy look on his face.

"Thank you, Brother Mengde."

No need to ask, just looking at his expression, you can tell that he is very satisfied with Li.

But it's also true that although Yu Li is not very beautiful in the original drama, she is also a pretty girl next door, and is more than qualified to match Yan Jiecheng.

"You're welcome."

Looking at the bicycle being polished to a shine, Wang Mengde said with a satisfied smile.

The days passed.

After lighting the lanterns and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed, the Chinese New Year is completely over.

The smiles on Yan Jiecheng's face increased day by day.

Although Yu Li has not agreed to date him for the time being, she is not opposed to meeting him.

In just one week, he made three trips to Xisi.

this day,

It's Sunday again.

In the afternoon, laughter and joy were heard from Sha Zhu's house.

He Yushui’s classmate, Yu Haitang, is here.

The deaf old lady in the backyard was also sitting in the living room of Shazhu's house, squinting her eyes and watching the two girls talking and laughing.

"Yushui, what kind of person is Yan Jiecheng from your courtyard? What about the people in his family?"

As they were chatting, Yu Haitang asked.

She came here with a mission today.

Yu's father and mother learned that their second daughter's classmate lived in the same courtyard as their eldest daughter's blind date, so they asked her to come and ask around.

"Yan Jiecheng, there is nothing wrong with his character.

By the way, Haitang, why are you asking about him?"

He Yushui hesitated for a moment, then said.

She didn't know the reason for the incident and didn't want to talk about the situation of the old Yan family.

"Yushui, this is what happened. My mom's illness was cured by Brother Mengde, and then my sister is going to find a partner.

She is already 23 years old this year. If she doesn't find one now, it will be even harder to find a good one in the future.

A neighbor in my courtyard who is a teacher introduced Yan Jiecheng to me. Can you tell me about his family? "

Yu Haitang explained in a low voice.

As he spoke, his face began to blush.

As a very good classmate of hers, He Yushui naturally guessed that she must be thinking of Brother Meng De again.

"The third uncle's house..."

Before she could continue, the deaf old lady beside her opened her eyes and spoke quickly:
"You are talking about Yan Laoxi's family, I know that.

I have lived in this courtyard for decades, and I know the situation of every family in the courtyard very well.”

"Really? That's great, old lady. Please tell me about it."

After hearing what the deaf old lady said, Yu Haitang said happily.

"The situation of the old Yan family is quite complicated..."

The deaf old lady became excited. After motioning the two maids to sit opposite her, she told them all the dark history of Mr. Yan's family.

The more Yu Haitang listened, the more shocked she became.

It turns out there are such stingy families and such calculating parents.

At the same time, she was also very grateful that she came here to inquire about it, otherwise, if her sister married into the Yan family, she would have to suffer for the rest of her life.

After talking for a while, the deaf old lady rolled her eyes and continued:

"Yu girl, if it were you, it would be better for your sister and Zhuzi to stay together.

Our Zhuzi has a formal job as a chef, and his character is impeccable, much better than Yan Jiecheng."

At last.

Yu Haitang felt dizzy when she was walking.

She didn't know why she agreed to give her sister some fresh air and meet Yu Shui's brother.

Another two weeks passed.

Yan Jiecheng has gone from being full of glory to being dejected.

No one knows what happened. Yu Li, who was willing to give him a chance, decisively rejected him through an intermediary more than a week ago.

This took him more than ten days to recover.

Today, he plans to go to the vicinity of Yu's home to see if there is a chance to meet Yu Li and ask her in person.

However, just as he was standing in the alley on the Xisi side with his hands tucked into his sleeves, stamping his feet in the cold, he saw a scene that he could not accept.

Yu Li and a man were seen walking towards the alley entrance, talking and laughing.

Moreover, he knew the man, who was Sha Zhu.

He was intercepted!
