Back To The Age Of The '80s

Li Zheng was not only a professor at Huaqing University in his previous life, but also the director of the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences. He is no stranger to this medical problem that has ravaged the clinical frontline 30 years later.

Li Zheng remembers that a week before his sudden death, the Ministry of Health of Huaguo made a large-scale work report on the issue of "drug-resistant strains" at the National Health Conference, and made it a part of the next five-year plan. Many provinces and cities have even listed the frequency of antibiotic use as an important indicator in the year-end assessment of hospitals.

In Li Zheng's view, this is unavoidably overkill.In many big cities and big hospitals, patients who have a fever of less than 39 degrees will never hang water, which makes many patients abandon big hospitals and crowd into small clinics.

"Crack." Zhang Yuejun put a large box of documents on the table with no effort.

"This is all the materials and manuscripts in Professor Xu's laboratory."

Li Zheng nodded, rummaged through the box, and found a slightly yellowed cowhide notebook.

This is Xu Mingsheng's project notes. He hastily flipped through it. His preparatory work has been done perfectly. All the materials are classified into categories, and what conclusions can be drawn from which materials are clear.This provided great convenience for Li Zheng's next work.

"The samples from the hospital haven't arrived yet?" Li Zheng looked at his watch, frowning even more tightly.

It is already 09:30 in the evening, and the rain and snow hit the glass windows of the laboratory, making a soft knocking sound.

"I told the security guard when I first came in, and if someone comes over, he will call as soon as possible."

Li Zheng pursed his lips. He put the notebook in his hand on the table, took off his lab coat, put on his coat and held an umbrella, and ran into the rain. Precious, he's not used to sitting in a lab waiting.

"Hey, Li Zheng, I'll go with you!" Zhang Yuejun yelled from behind, and quickly followed after putting on a raincoat without thinking about changing clothes.

Xiangjiang implements a capitalist system, and the capitalist system attaches great importance to the protection of private property. However, because of this, the urban construction of Xiangjiang is not as good as the inland of later generations.Because most of the land in Xiangjiang is private, if you want to erect a street lamp on it, you have to pay the rent to the owner of the land on time every month. Therefore, the infrastructure in many places in Xiangjiang is not commensurate with its prosperous economy.

For example, on the road from Qingyuan to the city center, there are very few street lights. In the cold and dark night, there are only dots of dim yellow in the distance that give people hope.

Li Zheng and Zhang Yuejun walked for about 10 minutes, and saw a person holding a flashlight in one hand and holding a big cardboard box in the other in the rain and snow.

The cardboard box was already a little wet, and the little girl was almost lying on the cardboard box, using her body to keep the rain and snow out.

The white nurse's uniform was particularly conspicuous in the dark, and Li Zheng stepped forward quickly.

"People from Mary's Hospital?" he asked.

The little girl raised her head when she heard the words, her body still kept the shape covering the entire cardboard box, showing a funny shape.

"I'm Li Zheng."

"You are Mr. Li Zheng?"

The little girl cried out in surprise, "I'm sorry, I sent the samples to the airport first, and it's a little late to come back."

Queen Mary Hospital discovered the first patient with drug-resistant strain infection two days ago, but because drug-resistant strain infection is a very rare phenomenon in Xiangjiang, the hospital did not pay enough attention to it, and just let the cleaning lady Strengthen disinfection.

It was not until the outbreak of drug-resistant strains in the hospital that doctors found papers by scholars in international journals on drug-resistant strains. The moment they saw the papers, the doctors broke out in a cold sweat.

According to the instructions of the British General Hospital, Queen Mary Hospital immediately sealed off the hospital to avoid the further spread of drug-resistant strains, but for the people in the hospital, especially the patients whose inflammation has not completely subsided shortly after the operation, this is an emergency. A test of life.

Li Zheng took the box from the little girl, took off his coat and covered it on the cardboard box, and then said to the little girl, "Come on, come to my laboratory and drink a cup of hot water, or you will have another drug-resistant bacteria when you go back." infected people."

As he spoke, he quickly ran towards the laboratory with the cardboard box in his arms.

The little girl was drenched all over, but the materials in the carton were indeed in good condition, and they were not wet at all.

Zhang Yuejun looked at the slightly thin back of Li Zheng who was not wearing a coat, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if there was an extremely warm emotion in his heart that was about to burst out all at once.

He trotted all the way to keep up. When he ran into the laboratory, Li Zheng had already put the samples into the culture tank.

"Prepare isolation measures before coming in." Li Zheng said without raising his head when he heard the voice at the door.

The mechanism of bacterial drug resistance is very complex. It is definitely not an easy task to try various antibiotics to find the right one for the production of antibiotic inactivating enzymes and the change of antibiotic targets.

If it was an infection caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria... Li Zheng's hand holding the test tube tightened, then the existing antibiotics might not be effective.

"Zhang Yuejun, classify all antibacterial drugs into lactams, aminoglycosides, macrolides, tetracyclines, lincomycins, etc., and we will try them one by one slowly." Li Zheng said.

Repeated attempts are boring and untechnical. Li Zheng has not done similar work himself for a long time, but in front of life, there are no honorary professors, deans of research institutes, or geniuses in pharmacy. There is only one hard work. A man who races against death.

When you focus on doing one thing, time will pass extremely quickly, and before you know it, the sky is already bright.

Zheng Lingling and several classmates walked slowly towards Qingyuan.

"Okay, just take a look. If Li Zheng is doing the experiment, you must not go in and disturb him." Zheng Lingling watched everyone looking around, and couldn't help but reminded again.

After the opening ceremony of Qingyuan, Li Zheng has not returned to school to attend classes, but the news that he has a private laboratory has long spread in Xiangjiang University.

The students are still working hard for the qualifications to enter the laboratory. A transfer student who just arrived actually has his own laboratory, and the news spared no effort to praise the advanced equipment of Li Zheng's laboratory and the beautiful environment. Putting it on top of the existing biomedical laboratory will naturally attract the attention of insiders.

Although Li Zheng's classmates haven't graduated yet, they are still insiders anyway.Based on the principle of satisfying curiosity, a group of students quickly aimed at Zheng Lingling who was recruited by Li Zheng.

"This is actually a laboratory! This is the villa area!" A girl couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This used to be a villa area. Because it was close to the school, my mother planned to buy me a house here. Unfortunately, half of the villa was built, and the developer went bankrupt."

“1号和2号是李铮自己的实验室，3号4号5号现在还空着。”郑玲玲对着众人介绍道。

"Okay, I can only take a look." Zheng Lingling emphasized again.

Seeing everyone nodding their heads, Zheng Lingling anxiously led them to the No. 2 laboratory, but it was strange that there was no one in the No. 2 laboratory.

Is it in Lab 1?But didn't Li Zheng say that he would go to Laboratory No. 1 only to work on vaccines, bacteria, and viruses?

"Lingling, I saw the initiative sent by the student union this morning. It's not a flu outbreak, there are not enough medical staff. Our medical students can volunteer." A girl suddenly said.

It is common practice for medical students to volunteer in hospitals, especially members of the Medical Student Union, which is almost a mandatory requirement.

Zheng Lingling frowned. She was indeed a member of the student union, but now she has a job and a boss. She can't use Li Zheng's salary to do other things.

"You can ask Li Zheng to go with you." When the girl said this, a blush quickly appeared on her cheeks.

Zheng Lingling...

Don't think she is stupid, she also has a boyfriend, so she can't see what girls are thinking?

Zheng Lingling shrugged, "You are trying to invite me to have a look." Although she only worked in the laboratory for a few days, Zheng Lingling fully recognized Li Zheng's essence, that person is a workaholic.

She felt that it was entirely possible for Li Zheng to spend his whole life with the laboratory.

The girl bowed her head and said nothing.

In front of No. 1 laboratory, Zheng Lingling opened the door and went in. As soon as she stepped into her right leg, she heard a serious voice from inside.

"Change clothes, wear a mask, and take protective measures!"

Zheng Lingling was taken aback, only then did she realize that there were actually three people in the laboratory, one was Li Zheng and Zhang Yuejun were repeating, mixing and mixing movements, the other was constantly writing and drawing in a notebook.

Is this an experiment?

She immediately changed into a white coat and put on a mask. Even if she couldn't get her hands on it, it's good to have watched it.

The rest of the students looked at each other and saw that Li Zheng didn't even have the slightest intention to greet them, so they couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. After a while, they became proud, so many students didn't even say hello when they came together.

Classmates, you look at me, I look at you, with a hint of embarrassment on the face, the girl who spoke earlier, with the encouragement of her companions, said: "Li Zheng, now that the flu is breaking out, the major hospitals in Xiangjiang are suffering from shortages, we plan to go to Are you interested in being a volunteer?"

"Tetracyclines can be ruled out, and the reaction of drug-resistant strains is so weak that it can be ignored." Li Zheng said to Zhang Yuejun while drawing a big cross on the word tetracyclines in his notebook.
