, think about the subtropical climate. [No pop-up novel website] Jungle. With the water network terrain, Shi Niaoren believed that Ji Yiyi could find more than half of the pathogens in the world. My mentor in the United States will definitely have a soft spot for this place. It's a pity that I didn't trick him at that time. This old rice is as strong as an ox. It is a good labor force for the Ministry of Health. At least let him test the poop.

Looking at the pile of poop sample jars in front of him, Shi Niaoren's heart was filled with grief and anger that others could hardly imagine. He was such a dignified beast that he was naturally beaten to deal with poop.

To make matters worse, Shi Niao Ren felt that the infection rate was starting to rise. He detected more than ten kinds of parasitic eggs from asymptomatic people, including Trichomonas sinensis and Taenia solium. There may be more bacterial carriers, but because bacterial testing is much more complex, many cannot yet be diagnosed. In short, no one realizes the complexity of modern medical testing.

The ignorance and indifference of ordinary people who traveled through various parasites and infectious diseases gave him even more headaches. Those who eat wild fruits indiscriminately, those who hunt privately, and those who have sex with local women."

When I report to the executive committee, I always say yes and no, no specific countermeasures, nothing at all.

See!

Maybe an infectious disease pandemic will make Mr. Wen and Ma Du Gong clearer? Shi Niaoren put the petri dish under the microscope and looked at it carefully.

Fortunately, neither cholera-causing Arcobacter spp. nor other pathogens causing serious infectious diseases were found in the samples. However, a large number of Salmonella bacteria were detected. Overall, it seemed that this unlucky guy had acute enteritis. For general acute enteritis, as long as the patient is not dehydrated or suffers from electrolyte imbalance. Recovery can be achieved with simple antidiarrheal medication.

"If there were some anti-diarrheal medicine in Camp Jianwei, combined with some saline water, this person wouldn't have died." Shi Niao Ren felt a little regretful, as long as he had belladonna tablets and a few bottles of physiological saline, he could be relieved.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and there are more gastrointestinal diseases, we need to immediately look for cheap and easy-to-get antidiarrheal medicines. Suddenly he thought of the opium in the Ministry of Health warehouse. It has been sitting in the warehouse since I bought it from Macau. Although opium is a drug, it has a strong effect on relieving pain, coughing and diarrhea. It is a universal medicine that is urgently needed now.

Shi Niaoren disposed of the specimens, washed his hands, lit a cigarette, and called Gao De to tell him that the yellow disease warning in the weight loss camp could be lifted. Then he called Wu Nanhai and asked him to pay attention to the hygiene issues in the canteen and food processing factory.

"Tomorrow" Shi Niaoren looked at the schedule, "I will come to inspect the area in person and help you with some summer hygiene precautions. "

"Okay, welcome." Wu Nanhai's voice sounded a little nervous on the phone.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not here to fine you from the Health Bureau." Shi Niaoren said, "Don't do surprise cleaning. Let me see the real situation so that I can prescribe the right medicine. You can apply donkey dung and egg powder on it instead." If nothing goes wrong, something big will happen in the future.”

After taking care of Wu Nanhai's health check, Shi Niaoren wanted to make another call to the pharmaceutical factory, but then he thought it would be better to go there in person and take a breather on the way. He had been up since morning to smell poop, and it was almost noon. When you go to the pharmaceutical factory, you can also stop by the farm for a meal.

The pharmaceutical equipment factory is located inside the farm. It is a composite reinforced concrete frame building. A towering tower was spewing smoke into the air. It is equipped with a dedicated boiler room, ground energy air conditioning, self-purified water source and a dedicated garbage incinerator. The overall infrastructure is top notch. However, this was Shi Niaoren's first time here after the pharmaceutical factory was completed and put into operation. After all, this was not his business. professional.

The pharmaceutical equipment factory is a first-level unit and has strict access control. The iron-clad gate of the yard was closed tightly. He rang the doorbell for a long time before a face appeared through the small window on the door, which shocked Shi Niaoren. It was a face that had been burned.

Then he remembered that this was a wounded soldier. These people are now basically working as janitors in key departments.

"Dean!" The guard saw that he was the dean of the hospital and the director of the factory, and quickly opened the door.

.

Although Shi Niaoren had the impression that he had treated this person, he could not remember his name. He just nodded politely: "Is Zhao Yanmei here?"

"Zaiwei responded repeatedly, "You go to the office and sit down first, I'll inform you

"No, where is it? I'll go find her myself."

"Director Zhao said," the guard thought for a moment, "No one else can come in while she is working. I'd better inform her."

The room prefixed with o indicates that it is in the basement. Probably a strain laboratory. Although Shi Niaoren is not engaged in biochemistry, she knows a little bit about the principle. She is probably doing things like cultivating bacterial strains and does not want people to come in and bring in miscellaneous bacteria.

"How did you notify me?" Shi Niaoren became curious. Although there was a phone here, there was no internal phone.

"Use this." The guard limped and led him into the guard room. A shelf was built along the wall inside. Divided into several rows, small nameplates are nailed one by one. On top of the nameplate is a small bell lock and a drawstring.

The guard carefully wrote the date and visitor's name in the registration book with crooked handwriting, and then pulled the rope under a certain nameplate a few times. After a while. The small bell lock on the nameplate also rang.

"Director Zhao knows. She will come out soon."

"? This system is good." Shi Niaoren thought that it was similar to the electric bell in the inpatient department of the hospital, although it could not communicate. But at least it can convey a simple message. I wonder if this system can also be used in hospitals. I will ask Zhao Yanmei later.

Zhao Yanmei's office was separate, and Shi Niaoren sat there for a while before seeing her come back.

It turned out that Zhao Yanmei was inoculating kasugamycin in the bacterial strain laboratory. This antibiotic is mainly used in agriculture to prevent crop diseases and has little medical value. It is used to treat mild infections that are not serious. Shi Niaoren was a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, if it was jointly organized with the Committee of Agriculture, it would have such a result. Their needs should be met first.

Zhao Yanmei saw the leader's expression was not very lively and guessed what he was thinking.

"This is also a practice!" She explained, "Cultivation of kasugamycin by local methods is relatively simple and does not require high environmental conditions. If this can be done, it will be easy to cultivate other strains later."

Shi Niaoren hurriedly asked: "What kind of bacteria are we going to cultivate next? Can penicillin work?"

"Cultivation of penicillin is not difficult, but its purification is troublesome." Zhao Yanmei frowned, "When the conditions are better. For medical use, you can culture oxytetracycline first. This is relatively simple."

It's not confusing even if you use Tubein. "The effect of your product is almost the same as that of tetracycline. It's a very broad-spectrum antibiotic."

"It's good to have oxytetracycline." Shi Niaoren's face looked much better.

Zhao Yanmei's next words made Shi Niaoren very unhappy again: "It's also good for fattening pigs.

"Fattening pigs?"

"Yes, that's what Lao Yang said." Lao Yang is naturally Yang Guigui.

"I'm afraid that by then there won't be enough medicine for people. Now we are short of antibiotics!" Shi Niaoren said, feeling distressed.

"No matter how urgent it is," Zhao Yanmei said, "The antibiotics we create have not been tested on animals. The antibiotics produced under our conditions will have impurities. I'm afraid something will happen to people if they eat them."

"I can't worry about so much now." Shi Niaoren said, "First solve the problem of existence and non-existence.

Zhao Yanmei came from a regular pharmaceutical factory, so she was still not used to the idea of ​​making do with simple things and implementing local methods. There was a moment of silence.

"It's not that important, right?" Yan Yanmei said, "The acid and alkali plant will be put into operation soon. After it is put into operation, the coal chemical combined plant will also be put into operation. It will be fine once it is put into operation."

"I saw it in the newspaper." Shi Niaoren was not interested in Diehua Enterprises. "There are many coal chemical products, probably synthetic ammonia, right? But they are all used in industry. Can antibiotics be produced?

? "

"Sulfur crisp!" Zhao Yanmei said. "Ji Situi said that once this coal chemical complex plant is put into operation, the by-product will be sulfur brittle raw materials."

Of course Shi Niaoren knew what sulfur limbs meant. This chemical compound was first used in dyes and was the most effective anti-infective drug before penicillin antibiotics. In this time and space before bacteria have developed drug resistance, this thing alone can save countless lives!

"Really?!" Shi Niaoren was so surprised and happy that he almost stood up. This was a major benefit.

interest.

"Ji Situi is right. He is an expert, so he won't talk nonsense."

"Yeah. Well, this matter needs to be followed up! Follow up!"

"Don't worry, the acid and alkali plant won't be ignited until the day after tomorrow, and the coal chemical plant will have to wait for a while. According to Ji Situi, they haven't even shipped enough coal."

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now." Shi Niaoren remembered that his main business was not to find antibiotics. He told Zhao Yanmei about the current health conditions and suggested that pharmaceutical companies should make some commonly used drugs in the near future.

Only, antidiarrheal medicine, normal saline, glucose solution, and bleaching powder. "

Zhao Yanmei said: "To be honest, the only things that can be delivered immediately are steamed radium water for injection, a dozen kinds of Chinese patent medicines, physiological saline, and alcohol. Even making glucose is difficult."

"There is still a problem with the normal saline solution," she continued. "The sodium chloride shipped from the First Salt Farm Village is not pure enough and has too many impurities. Secondly, there is not enough sulfuric acid. I don't dare to make the normal saline solution for infusion. Let's get some for oral administration first. .”

"If you want anything else, I'll apply to the Planning Commission again!"

"There are too many things to ask for. I'm afraid the Planning Commission can't do anything, and Committee Member Ma can't make anything up out of nothing." Zhao Yanmei smiled bitterly, "Doctor Shi, you should know that modern pharmacy is actually chemistry."

"You mean," Shi Niaoren understood what she meant, "that there are not enough chemicals?"

"It's not just not enough. It's simply a dire shortage. Let's talk about the glucose rehydration solution you want. The glucose process is very simple. Starch plus acidification is easy to make. But I don't have acid: neither hydrochloric acid nor sulfuric acid, so I have to use enzymes. The chemical method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the value of the produced glucose cannot be corrected without alkali."

Shi Niaoren nodded.

"Also, gauze and absorbent cotton. As usual, caustic soda is required for degreasing first. But caustic soda is in short supply now. There are not enough disinfectants available, and the products produced can only be said to be makeshift. Fortunately, there are not many large-scale traumas. ." She stopped talking, "At present, except for bacterial culture and proprietary Chinese medicines, pharmaceutical factories really can't produce anything particularly effective."

"Don't worry, these will be solved in the next few days, and Bopu's chemical plant will be put into operation soon.

.

I told the Planning Commission to give priority to pharmaceutical companies. "Shi Niaoren cheered her up.

"That's good. With three acids and two caustic soda, many things can be made." She stood up and took out a piece of paper from the drawer of her desk. "These are some things that need coordination and urgently needed supplies."

Shi Niaoren took it over and took a look. There are many items listed above: the mechanical department is required to provide a knitting machine with special specifications. It is used to weave gauze; a full set of cutting equipment and workers who know how to cut are used to make masks; various large pots, earthen pots, and iron pots" have the most order requirements for glass factories: a large number of utensils, pipes and Alcohol blowtorch.

"There are also small injection bottles." Zhao Yanmei said, "This thing is difficult to make, and the glass factory may not be interested. The Planning Commission must directly issue a research order."

"Are you going to make an injection? Oxytetracycline injection?"

"We are going to make traditional Chinese medicine injections for the time being. We are going to make some injections of honeysuckle and isatis root. There are also cardiac tonics. Atropine should be refined."

"Is this thing?" Shi Niaoren still had some impressions of deaths caused by traditional Chinese medicine injections back then. "Is it safe or not?"

"It's not safe enough. The ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine extracts are mixed, and the pharmacological principles are not clear enough. However, traditional Chinese medicine injections such as honeysuckle, isatis root and Shuanghuanglian have been used for decades, and the mortality rate is acceptable. They are not very dangerous. As for atropine, it is inherently dangerous. But atropine is an important rescue medicine and very useful. Let’s try it first.

"Okay." Shi Niaoren knew that this was a helpless move.

"I have another request." Zhao Yanmei continued, "It is best to keep all the empty bottles used in the hospital, such as injection bottles, infusion bottles, and medicine bottles, and hand them over to the pharmaceutical factory. We can recycle them."

These things are all kept. According to the regulations of the Planning Commission, no modern products can be discarded at will. Even if they are not used temporarily, they must be stored in advance.

"I'm keeping these. And they've all been cleaned and disinfected. But they're all in Ji Chuan's account. I'll talk to the planning committee and they'll be approved together."

"I have one more request." Zhao Yanmei probably felt that her request was a bit excessive, "Can you give us an optical machine?"

Shi Niaoren was startled. Optical machine! This is special control equipment. Because of the issue of radioactive sources, the time traveler tried his best to only get three of them, and they will have to rely on them for at least several decades. What does the pharmaceutical company want with this thing? ! ~!
