I can see health

Chapter 828 Yes!

The urine bag is still purple.

This time, not only the doctors in the second division of the Cardiology Department, but also the doctors in other wards and other departments were very interested in this urine bag.

When I usually go to work, many people even come here to take a look at this purple urine bag.

Lu Chen is also a little confused now.

A change in color indicates that the patient's urine must have an internal reaction.

But why is this reaction?

Lu Chen turned his attention to "Klebsiella pneumoniae".

Because the patient's other examinations and tests were basically fine, and "Klebsiella pneumoniae" was cultured out of the urine!
Intuition told Lu Chen that the purple urine must have something to do with this!

……

However, Lu Chen himself doesn't do basic research at the moment, so maybe he can find some hints from someone in the laboratory for reference.

Lu Chen opened the WeChat group that he hadn't seen for a long time.

This is the wechat group of him, Ke Yue, Gu Xinyue, Wang Zihao and others.

Lu Chen took a photo of this interesting urine bag and sent it to the WeChat group.

Wang Zihao was the first to show up.

"I'm going, Lu Chen, what are you doing? Who is so boring, using urine bags to store paint?"

Lu Chen replied angrily, "What paint, it's urine!"

"Huh? Is this purple urine?"

Ke Yue immediately frothed, "Such strange urine? Lu Chen, what caused this?"

Wang Zihao interjected, "Did you eat something with pigment?"

"No, it's not pigment." Lu Chen said, "A heart failure patient in our department has a normal diet, usually eating millet and the like. Ke Yue, you are engaged in basic research, I want to ask you, before Have you seen anything like this?"

"Not really." Ke Yue replied, "But I think it should be some kind of substance in the body, and something that has newly entered the patient's body, which may be bacteria, viruses, etc., that reacted!"

Lu Chen immediately said: "The patient's urine culture is Klebsiella pneumoniae! Other than that, the other results are generally normal."

"It is very likely that Klebsiella pneumoniae reacted with some substance in the patient's body." Ke Yue guessed.

"I don't think so!"

Wang Zihao suddenly interrupted everyone's guess.

"We have also encountered patients whose urine culture was Klebsiella pneumoniae before. Why have we never seen some of these reactions?"

"There should be a certain chance of reaction, and it is related to the individuality of the patient." Ke Yue gave a reasonable explanation, "However, it is all speculation now, and the ultimate goal is to find out which one reacts with Klebsiella pneumoniae." substance!"

……

After finishing talking with his friends, Lu Chen had some thoughts.

Klebsiella pneumoniae reacts with something that turns the urine purple.

He went home and began to change his mind.

Check some literature on the Internet to see what Klebsiella pneumoniae and what substances can produce purple things.

This investigation revealed a lot of chemicals.

Among them, the most common substance is tryptophan!
Coincidentally, this old lady is eating food rich in tryptophan, that is rice, shrimp and the like!
Tryptophan will be decomposed into indoxyl sulfate in the liver, and then excreted in the urine.

Once indoxyl sulphate and Klebsiella pneumoniae join hands, they can do something!
Indoxyl sulfate is broken down by Klebsiella pneumoniae to form blue and red compounds which, when mixed, turn purple.

"Congratulations, the completion of the system upgrade has increased!"

Lu Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

Find out!
The purple urine bag is due to the reaction between tryptophan and Klebsiella pneumoniae!

For this result, other people in the department are quite convinced.

At the same time, they admire Director Lu Chen's research spirit very much.

Most of the other people regard the purple urine bag as a topic of conversation before and after tea and dinner.

Only Lu Chen, from the beginning of his discovery to now, has been earnestly searching for every clue.

Then, after 4 days of intravenous rehydration, the old lady's urine returned to normal color without even taking antibiotics.

……

"Director Lu, can you write a paper on this?"

Jin Miao watched in amazement, Lu Chen was writing a paper related to "purple urine".

"Of course." Lu Chen continued without raising his head, "An interesting and rare case report can also be published in a top magazine."

"Director Lu, where are you going to send this time?"

Lu Chen smiled, "New England Magazine!"

I'm going, it's the top issue again!
Jin Miao swallowed, eyes full of envy.

For the cardiovascular field, New England is the top journal among the top journals!
If he can publish a paper by himself and be accepted by the New England Journal, then he will have the position of deputy chief physician immediately!

"Director Lu, the author of the paper, can you bring my name?"

Jin Miao whispered.

"Of course...you can't!" Lu Chen said sternly, "You won't be of much help to the whole paper, so I definitely can't write your name on it."

"I can help." Jin Miao's voice was a little eager.

"Really?"

"Really!" Jin Miao nodded quickly.

"That's good." Lu Chen smiled, "You can start writing."

"Me? Writing an English paper?" Jin Miao stammered.

"Of course, after finishing writing, I'll help you revise it." Lu Chen looked at Jin Miao with a smile on his face.

"Then... that's fine." Jin Miao gritted his teeth.

At any rate, he is a graduate student, so he must have no problem writing in English.

Moreover, after finishing writing, Director Lu will help revise it.

This is an unavoidable thing.

Jin Miao took the initiative to undertake the writing content of the thesis.

Lu Chen felt much more relaxed now!
He also intentionally supported Jin Miao. After all, he couldn't always do surgery instead of scientific research, right?

……

In a blink of an eye.

It was the time when Lu Wenguo and Luo Meizhen came to Guanghai.

Previously, Luo Jun's operation was very successful.

This made Luo Jun and Li Dongyu praise Lu Chen.

This time, Lu Wenguo and Luo Meizhen came to Guanghai with the intention of "researching". How far has Lu Chen grown so far?

The two got off the plane.

Lu Chen was waiting early.

On the side, Gu Xinyue also followed with a shy face.

"Mom and Dad!"

Lu Chen stepped forward to help Lu Wenguo and Luo Meizhen carry the suitcases.

"Uncle and aunt, hello, I'm Lu Chen's colleague, and my name is Gu Xinyue."

"Hello, I heard from Lu Chen that you are so handsome!" Luo Meizhen pursed her lips and smiled, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Gu Xinyue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Yes."

"Still better than my family!" Luo Meizhen was not afraid of embarrassment, "Lu Chen, learn from Xiaogu."

"Okay." Lu Chen nodded helplessly.

During this time, Gu Xinyue went back to the dormitory of the hospital first, and returned the room to Lu Wenguo and Lu Meizhen.
