Chapter 471 Guo Family Village

Chapter 471 Guo Family Village
Leaving aside the decorative aesthetic style of the villagers, Sun Lien is more concerned about the brazier next to the baroque coffee table.This kind of brazier has no flue, and there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning when starting a fire.

But it seems that everyone is aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning, and the doors and windows are opened in the rooms where the brazier is used.

I don't know how much effect burning a small brazier can have under the condition of drafts blowing in the hall.

Turning around, Sun Lien's biggest feeling is that most of the residents in the village are elderly.Looking around, the youngest villagers he saw were all over 40 years old.There are probably only two or three young people in their twenties in the entire Guojia Village, and they are still gathering at the village committee to help.It is estimated that all other young people have gone down to settle down in the mountains, or have gone out to work - they don't come back often even during Chinese New Year.

It's no wonder that the village committee has so much experience in organizing village seats, and it's no wonder that the village committee pays so much attention to medical inspections.Most of the existing residents in the village are elderly people who refuse to settle in the city. It is very important to organize everyone to have dinner together during the holidays and provide them with regular medical services.

Sun Li'en lamented that the job of the old branch secretary was not easy, and walked to the village committee.Calculating the time is almost the same, even if Lao Bu is really a reincarnation of a starving ghost, he should be full by now.

When he arrived at the scene, the doctors of the medical team had indeed finished their meal and were moving their legs around.Dr. Bruen and Dr. Pascal are habitually quarreling with each other, and this time the quarreling exchange seems to be...Italian?
How many languages ​​can these two old men speak?
Seeing Sun Lien come back, Director Huang Wenhui, who led the team, waved at him, "Xiao Sun, come here."

Sun Li'en heard the words and walked towards Director Huang, while she turned her head and continued to listen to the reports of other doctors.

The doctor who reported this time should be from the Department of Stomatology. He is responsible for basic oral examinations for the elderly villagers. "...Among the 79 residents who have been examined so far, none of them have dental caries. Oral problems are mainly concentrated in impacted teeth and normal wear and tear." The doctor in the Department of Stomatology looks very handsome, but the nose is a bit collapsed , There is a feeling of "the appearance is dragged down by the nose".

"Not a single caries?" Director Huang Wenhui was a little surprised, "Are you sure?"

The incidence of dental caries in adults is actually very high, especially in rural areas.As the gums recede and the gaps between the teeth become larger, caries in adults often occurs in gaps that are invisible to the naked eye.The thickness of the original enamel and dentin in these places is small.Therefore, when the pain occurs, it has often eroded into the pulp.And because of the position of the gap, it is very troublesome to fill it.

Therefore, the patrol team specially assigned two stomatologists to detect these hidden adult dental caries as soon as possible, and advised the patients to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. If the dental caries develops seriously, it may lead to osteomyelitis.In such inconvenient villages, the risk of osteomyelitis caused by severe dental caries is very high.

"Really not." The stomatologist with a bad nose nodded solemnly, "At first I thought it was because I and my junior had missed it, and then more than 40 patients were double-checked by both of us. , indeed not."

Sun Lien stood where he was. His grades in stomatology were mediocre, but he remembered clearly what the teacher said in class——Among adults, the periodontal health rate is about 14.8%.In other words, at least [-]% of adults have dental caries or other periodontal problems.

However, according to the inspection results of the inspection team, among the adults in Guojia Village, the periodontal health rate has reached an astonishing 94%, and the remaining 6% are due to normal wear and tear caused by age and the impact of natural impacted teeth.

This is very unusual.It was so abnormal that Sun Lien was stunned on the spot.

"In the afternoon, you should focus on the diagnosis of the previous nine patients." After listening to the report from the dentist, Huang Wenhui pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason.She shook her head, put the chaotic thoughts in her head to the back of her head, and turned to Sun Li'en, "If you think there is a problem, please notify the CDC directly."

Director Huang, who was born in the Department of Respiratory Medicine, is very vigilant against infectious diseases.The same disease appeared in multiple patients in succession, and these people were also residents of the same village.Combining these two points, the result will naturally rely on infectious diseases.Even in the absence of any direct evidence of this, and there are no infectious diseases that attack the nervous system that manifest themselves as causing long-term neurological symptoms, they are not fatal.

"Okay." Sun Li'en nodded absent-mindedly, and dealt with the errand in advance.But I was still wondering what the low incidence of dental caries meant—it couldn’t be because the villagers had excellent oral hygiene habits, brushing their teeth three times a day, right?

Director Huang Wenhui nodded, and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and asked Sun Lien, "You are fascinated, what are you thinking about? Missing your girlfriend?" The free clinic is actually quite tiring, and occasionally chatting with young doctors Chatting and joking are also ways for Director Huang to relieve stress. "If you miss your girlfriend, why don't you make a phone call now? Anyway, there are still four or ten minutes until the afternoon round."

Sun Li'en was called back by Director Huang's joke. He shook his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, and then asked, "Director Huang, I'm wondering why the incidence of dental caries is low among adults here..."

"Hey, you can't just listen to the first half when we're chatting." Director Huang waved his hand nonchalantly, "We think it's probably because of the fluorine in drinking water. The fluorine content in drinking water should be quite high, but It’s not enough to pay attention to—they don’t have dental fluorosis, so they should be far away from poisoning.”

Sun Lien frowned and asked, "Does fluorosis necessarily have dental fluorosis?" He vaguely felt that the reason for the absence of dental caries was probably related to Guo Ying's symptoms.However, fluorosis belongs to the learning content of public health. As a clinician, Sun Lien is very unfamiliar with it.

"Not necessarily..." Director Huang shook his head, "The formation of dental fluorosis is caused by excessive intake of fluoride when the enamel is developing. If the excessive intake of fluoride starts after the enamel development Fluoride, then there will be no dental fluorosis..."

Age makes a difference!Sun Lien's eyes lit up, but he immediately vetoed his conjecture, "If fluorosis is caused by excessive fluorine intake, then why are the symptoms limited to the elderly and not young people? Fluorine is not that kind of disease. Substances that cannot be metabolized and will accumulate with age - so far, it has not been found that the etiology of patients will increase with age."

Sun Lien was puzzled, but Director Huang seemed to remember something, she turned around and called the village party secretary and asked, "When did the habit of drinking tea in every household in our village start?"

"Probably... the year it was powered on?" The village party secretary thought about it carefully, then shook his head, expressing that he couldn't remember exactly, "How can such a thing be said for sure!"

"I think young people in our village don't drink tea much." Director Huang continued to ask patiently, "What kind of beverage do they usually drink?"

"White water. Some drink beer, and some drink soft drinks." The village party secretary replied, "Brick tea has a strong taste, and not everyone likes to drink it with goat's milk."

Sun Lien's eyes widened, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Secretary Guo, is the goat milk we drink in our village directly squeezed out and then mixed into tea?" Sun Lien directly asked his own question.

Huang Wenhui's eyes lit up, "Do you suspect brucellosis?"
