Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 151 Malaria
In Quanzhou, with the announcement of recruiting sailors, countless young people went to sign up for the assessment training.

At the same time, Yuyang City, Yuyang Medical College.

"Teacher, after countless comparisons, we finally found Artemisia annua that can treat malaria, and "Changshan" that is better than Artemisia annua."

In the medical school, a student enthusiastically explained to Zhang Qingfeng.

A few years ago, Zhang Qingfeng personally established the medical school and trained a group of medical students.

Of course, Zhang Qingfeng did not study medicine, so he could only impart some simple medical theoretical knowledge to these students.

For example, the principles of anatomy, such as bacteria, viruses, and surgical treatment principles, etc., are very shallow, and more profound ones need to be explored by his students themselves.

In addition, he also explained some medicines he knew, such as Artemisia annua, also known as Artemisia annua.

This is something he knew when he read the news. The news said that a scientist discovered artemisinin when he was researching ancient prescriptions for treating malaria, and won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Afterwards, Zhang Qingfeng also checked on Baidu, and he learned that in ancient times, the drug 'Changshan' was better than Artemisia annua for treating malaria.

It is said that this drug has a better therapeutic effect on malaria than artemisinin, but it has a great side effect, which can cause severe vomiting.

Using Chang Shan to treat him once is like killing half his life, and it will take a long time for the whole person's energy to be relieved.

As for artemisinin, although the therapeutic effect is not as immediate as that of 'Changshan', it has no side effects at all.

Zhang Qingfeng believes that for mild malaria, use Artemisia annua.

In the Song Dynasty, some people had already used Artemisia annua to make medicine to treat malaria, and received very good curative effect.

Even seriously ill people can be cured with Artemisia annua plus other medicines, and they are often cured.

If the Artemisia annua can't be cured, you need to use the drug Changshan. Although the sequelae are serious, at least it can save your life.

Scientists of later generations discovered that Changshan is rich in several kinds of Huangchangshanine, namely methine, ethine, and propyline.

The curative effect of these halosines on malaria is 1 times, 100 times and 150 times of that of quinine respectively.

Quinine, the famous Cinchona cream, is a special drug for the treatment of malaria.

Although Changshanjing has a better curative effect than Cinchona Cream, if people are willing to choose what treatment to use, then a normal person will definitely choose Cinchona Cream.

Because Chang Shan's treatment of malaria has too many side effects, it is completely hurting the enemy's one thousand and self-damaging eight hundred.

If anyone in the future can find a perfect solution to the side effects of Chang Shan's treatment of malaria, then he can definitely win a Nobel Prize in Medicine.

According to historical records, in ancient Lingnan, Sichuan and Guizhou, there were many miasmas, so these areas were the hardest hit areas for malaria.

Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty's "Shui Jing Zhu" said "Lujiang Water" that on both sides of the Lujiang River, "there is miasma from time to time, and it will die in March and April."

In the past, there was a folk song in the area of ​​Yunnan that said: "When the smog rises in May and June, all new customers die; in September and October, the smog rises, and the souls of old customers also die."

In addition, southern Hunan used to be a traditional malaria high-incidence area, and the miasma was very heavy. There is a saying in southern Hunan that "ships go to Chenzhou, horses go to Chenzhou to die, and people go to Chenzhou to play tricks."

(PS: The above paragraph is taken from Baidu Encyclopedia.)
The most important reason why Zhang Qingfeng asked his students to find these two drugs is to reduce the damage caused by malaria when future generations develop Jiangnan and overseas.

In addition to finding these two medicines, he also plans to cultivate them on a large scale, and then make them into Chinese patent medicines for sale.

In ancient times, although there were many ways to treat various diseases, most ordinary people could not enjoy them.

In addition to the fact that precious medicines are in the hands of a few people, the spread of ancient technology is too slow, and the entire society has insufficient training for medical personnel.

In such a society, not to mention Artemisia annua, even if penicillin is produced, it is something that most ordinary people still have no chance to benefit from.

In ancient times, the ancestors spent hundreds of thousands of years to develop Jiangnan. After generations gradually adapted to the local environment, they gradually developed Jiangnan.

Rushing to develop Jiangnan is undoubtedly tantamount to dying.

When Qin Shihuang's hundreds of thousands of troops marched into South Vietnam, many people contracted malaria, causing many soldiers to die from the malaria virus.

Of course, this is what happened hundreds of years ago.

However, just a few years ago, during Cao Cao's Battle of Chibi, many of his soldiers were infected with malaria, causing heavy casualties.

Historically, around 220 A.D., Wei Wen led more than 1 Sun Quan sailors to search for Taiwan and the Gulf Islands. On the islands, his soldiers were infected with malaria on a large scale, resulting in only 2000 people dying. This is the history of ancient malaria. scary place.

When there are no drugs to treat various diseases, large-scale development will be impossible, which will lead to an extremely long time to develop a place, possibly as long as hundreds of years.

"Teacher, Artemisia annua can be grown in Youzhou for these two medicines, but Changshan is not suitable for growing in Youzhou. It needs to be grown in the Jiangnan area." A medical student said to Zhang Qingfeng.

Hearing this, Zhang Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "Then send people to Jiangnan to purchase or plant them. In short, we must prepare a large amount of these two drugs as soon as possible."

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the day when spring went to summer.

On this day, preparations for Zhang Qingfeng's newspaper workshop were finally completed.

A total of fifteen printing machines, tens of thousands of movable types, hundreds of printing workers, and large factories such as Yuyang Paper Mill and Ink Mill are behind it.

"Let's print the first newspaper according to this type of typesetting." Zhang Qingfeng said to his subordinates as he handed over a sample of the newspaper that he wrote himself.

The newspaper he edited was called "Youzhou Daily", and the name he chose was very random.

In the first page of Youzhou Daily, Zhang Qing chose to report that Cao Cao led troops to capture the land of Wu in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although some people already know that the south has won the battle, many people don't know the process.

Youzhou Daily described in detail the cause and effect of the entire battle. The cause can be traced back to the beginning of Sun Quan's attack on merchant ships in Youzhou.

Afterwards, Youzhou took action to retaliate against Sun Quan, and Lin Yongsheng commanded the Youzhou fleet, which made Sun Quan's navy dare not fight.

After that, Sun Quan's army besieged Hefei City, and the Youzhou fleet went to support it. Finally, with the cooperation of the Hefei defenders and the Youzhou fleet, Sun Quan's 10,000+ army was defeated.

Afterwards, the Youzhou navy cut off the waterway of the Yangtze River and blocked Sun Quan's troops in Tangyi City.

After that, the Youzhou fleet defeated Liu Bei's troops.

Of course, in the end, Youzhou Daily focused on the arrival of Prime Minister Cao, and after Prime Minister Cao arrived, he surrendered without a fight, forcing Sun Quan's subordinates to surrender one after another, and Sun Quan also committed suicide.

After that, under the command of Prime Minister Cao, the Youzhou fleet and other troops of Cao Cao were in full swing, and quickly regained most of the territory in the south of the Yangtze River.

This article not only highlights the important role played by Youzhou soldiers on the Jiangnan battlefield, but also shapes the role of Prime Minister Cao as the final word and his leadership.

The second news article in the newspaper tells about the causes and consequences of the Liaodong War and the Grassland War, which are unknown to many ordinary people.

The third article in the newspaper tells that the Youzhou Railway will be successfully constructed in a few days.

Afterwards, the first locomotive manufactured by Yuyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory will try to pull ten passenger carriages from Luping to Quanzhou City for a trial voyage.

At that time, Mr. Ruixiang will invite [-] Youzhou people to take this train and experience the charm of the first train.

PS: I have already returned to my hometown county by train, and I will take a car back to the village the day after tomorrow, and there will be a lot of time code words by then.
