I can extract side effects

Beijing, 307 Hospital.

This is a specialized hospital focusing on the treatment of malignant blood diseases, chemical poisoning and radiation sickness. It is the only nuclear radiation accident and chemical poisoning treatment center in China.

At this moment, Dean Sun was sitting at his desk, wearing glasses, flipping through a document.

"Case 1, Mr. Wang, a hospital employee, was sent to the emergency department for emergency treatment due to a malfunction of the CT machine and excessive X-radiation radiation, such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, and participated in the clinical trial of three new drugs. Good therapeutic effect."

"Case 2, Mr. Lin, a tin solderer in an electronics factory, suffered from occupational chronic lead poisoning caused by soldering fumes, and the lead content in his body exceeded the standard. The clinical trial of the new drug showed a positive therapeutic effect after one course of treatment, and after two courses of treatment, the lead content in the body could no longer be detected, and the patient returned to health."

"Cases 3, 4, and 5, Xie's family of three, bought bulk preserved eggs at the vegetable market, and suffered severe abdominal cramps after eating them. They were sent to the hospital and diagnosed with lead oxide poisoning. Due to the large amount of consumption, the prognosis after lead discharge was poor. Participated in the clinical trial of three new medicines, and was cured and discharged after two courses of treatment."

"Case 6, Mr. Zhao, was admitted to the hospital for pesticide poisoning. He participated in a new drug clinical trial after first aid. His body returned to normal and he was cured and discharged."

"Case 7, Mr. Li, was sent to the ICU for acute cadmium poisoning due to long-term chewing of betel nuts in large quantities. After rescue, the liver and kidney functions and other indicators returned to normal, but the heart and lungs suffered from unexplained damage. After participating in the clinical trial of three new drugs, The body has recovered and has been discharged from the hospital.”

"Case 8..."

"Case 9..."

...

Dean Sun flipped through the pages one by one, looking at them very carefully, sometimes stopping at a certain place, frowning, contemplating.

After all, he was a doctor. Every time he saw a difficult case, he couldn't help thinking about the treatment plan.

In his view, many of these cases are very difficult. Even if the patients are rescued, there will be many hidden dangers and even very serious sequelae.

Because chemical toxins and ionizing radiation have already caused certain damage to body tissues, which cannot be reversed in the short term.

However, after these critically ill patients participated in clinical trials, they all recovered without any sequelae.

It is enough to show that the medicine taken by the patient can eliminate the damage of toxic substances to the body in a short period of time.

It took him a long time to turn over the entire document, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he could see that he was in a very happy mood.

"This clinical trial report records hundreds of cases in this hospital in the past month. Each patient is either radiation sickness or industrial chemical poisoning. When it was sent, the condition was already quite serious."

"Acute poisoning is easy to rescue, but chronic poisoning is very difficult, but under the treatment of this new drug, Sanqing, all of them recovered and were completely cured and discharged."

"It's unbelievable to have a living case appear in front of you, but you have to believe it."

"Unexpectedly, Sanqing has developed a new drug with such amazing effects."

"Let me see the therapeutic mechanism of this medicine."

Dean Sun fiddled with the computer for a while, found another electronic version of the paper, and read it intently.

This is a paper on anti-oxidant catalyst drugs published in Sanqing's "Life" magazine, and the basic principles are explained in great detail.

After he read it hungrily, he showed a look of sudden realization.

"Yes, research in the medical field has shown that after exogenous antioxidants enter the human body, there has always been a problem of difficulty in absorbing them. In this case, it is better to seek internally and stimulate the body to produce endogenous antioxidants, which can achieve more effective treatment."

"From the perspective of clinical cases, this drug not only has an effect on radiation sickness caused by radiation, but also has a considerable protective effect on the toxic damage of industrial chemicals."

"Great, those patients in the hospital will have treatable drugs in the future, and we will no longer be helpless against them."

Dean Sun was so excited that he burst into tears, and couldn't help thinking of a few patients who impressed him deeply.

A young man's face was the first to appear in front of him. He looked honest, honest and shy, and the muscles on his face became a little distorted due to long-term pain.

That was the first nuclear radiation victim in China, a case that was enough to be recorded in history.

This patient picked up a silver 'key chain' by accident, and was unfortunately infected by strong nuclear radiation. He had to endure the huge damage caused by nuclear radiation at a young age, and had to amputate his limbs.

At that time, the 307 Hospital was the only hospital that could treat radiation sickness. When the patient was brought in, his condition deteriorated very badly. His right leg was swollen and deformed, and it had begun to fester.

Since it was the first time he encountered a nuclear radiation patient, and the hospital also tried its treatment for the first time. Dean Sun personally led the team, so he was very impressed, and he can still remember it clearly after so many years.

After 7 major operations and countless minor operations, the patient lost both legs and left hand, and only the middle finger remained on the right hand, before saving his life.

After recovering and being discharged from the hospital, the patient survived, married a wife and had children. Fortunately, the child was not affected by the nuclear radiation, everything was normal and grew up very healthy.

However, the impact of nuclear radiation on the patient's body still existed. After living for 20 years, the patient was in his early 40s, and many organs in his body failed. He began to vomit blood and was diagnosed with various diseases.

A few days later, the patient's treatment was invalid and he passed away.

Dean Sun vaguely remembered that this patient used to rush to the capital every year to come to 307 for a physical reexamination, and would come to express his thanks with the family's souvenirs.

At that time, he saw that the patient was in good health and had no symptoms, and he secretly rejoiced that nuclear radiation was not incurable.

Unfortunately, such a good thing lasted only ten years, and Dean Sun never saw the patient again.

Only then did he fully realize the horror of nuclear radiation.

Not only will it cause fatal damage to the body in the short term, but the long-term damage to the body is irreversible.

Human life, in the face of such harm, is as fragile as a weed that is ready to be harvested.

At this moment, Dean Sun couldn't help thinking, if there was this new drug from Sanqing at that time, if the patient could take it for a long time, would it make him live a few more years?

If the patient suffered from nuclear radiation was a sudden disaster, then the condition of the other little boy was a complete man-made disaster.

That was the time when paraquat was not banned. People often drank it out of anger with their family and friends. Often there was no cure, and doctors could only watch them die.

Most of the patients who drank paraquat were adults, but this little boy was only 10 years old.

The little boy lives in a poor family, so naturally he doesn't get much care from his parents.

After arguing with his family, he picked up paraquat in a fit of anger, mixed it with iced tea, and drank a large cup.

Because he was sent to the doctor in time, and he had eaten some food before, which inhibited the absorption of the poison, the little boy saved his life under the doctor's all-out rescue.

This is his luck, but also his misfortune.

Because paraquat has a fatal shortcoming, that is, after entering the human body, it will quickly reach various organs with the blood, causing irreversible damage to internal organs, especially the lungs.

Even if the patient was rescued at that time, in the following time, the lung tissue will become fibrotic, lose respiratory function, and eventually die of respiratory failure.

That little boy was like this. Even if he was transferred to No. 307 Hospital and treated by Dean Sun himself, he still couldn't save his fate.

Dean Sun remembered very clearly that when the little boy came, he was already struggling to breathe, and his lung images were even terribly white.

The two lungs quickly became shriveled, like two loofah sacs, unable to breathe at all, and had to rely on a ventilator to survive.

This is the misfortune of the little boy. After the others drank paraquat, they failed to save him, and died directly. The death was such a happy one.

But he has to live in pain and fear, before the bell of death rings, he chews his desire for life one bite at a time, aftertaste in his mouth for a long time, and then swallows reluctantly, slowly savoring the taste of regret .

How cruel to a 10-year-old child.

On the day of his death, Dean Sun went to see him on purpose, and all he saw was a pair of wide-eyed eyes, full of unwillingness and remorse.

If Sanqing's new medicine had been available at the beginning, it might have been able to completely save this young life.

"Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world." Dean Sun sighed, feeling sad.

"We can only blame them for being born at the wrong time. In fact, the medical field has long researched that the toxic mechanism of many industrial chemicals has a significant relationship with free radical reactions."

"Bodily damage caused by commonly used chemical substances in industry, such as the carcinogenic effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, lung damage caused by paraquat, liver damage caused by halogenated hydrocarbons, and damage caused by common industrial heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, are free. Base's participation."

"Especially paraquat, after it is inhaled in large quantities by the human body, it is oxidized into free radicals in the lungs, which damages cell membranes and eventually leads to cell death."

"As long as this process can be interrupted, or the excess free radicals in the lungs can be neutralized, the damage to the human body can be nipped in the bud, and it will not develop to the point where it cannot be cured later."

"It can be said that even if you drink paraquat, as long as you expel it as soon as possible and take a large dose of anti-oxidant drugs at the same time, you can save a precious life."

"Fortunately, now that Sanqing's medicine is available, these chemical poisoning patients can be rescued as long as they are treated in time."

Thinking of this, his mood became optimistic again.

Tuk tuk tuk!

There was a hasty knock on the door, and before Dean Sun could speak, the dean's assistant rushed in anxiously.

"President Sun, 8 patients have just been admitted to the emergency department. All of them have the same symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, oral ulcers, and bleeding gums. Blood tests show that the white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin are much lower than normal."

"These five patients are all seafarers on ocean-going fishing vessels. They have been out at sea for nearly a year, and they have only returned for a few days. The cause of the disease is still unknown, and it may be food poisoning."

"The director of the emergency department is consulting with other experts. Due to the large number of people, it should be a public health incident, so I will report to you immediately."

Dean Sun suddenly got up, his face became extremely solemn.

"Go, go to the emergency room immediately."

When I came to the emergency room, as soon as I opened the door, I saw several patients lying in the ward, moaning weakly.

They were all dark-skinned, with many blisters on their arms and faces, which looked like severe sunburn.

Dean Sun hurried to a patient, examined it carefully, and suddenly his face changed drastically.

"It's not a sunburn, it's a skin infection."

He turned around abruptly, looking for the nurse: "Have you done a bone marrow examination?"

The nurse shook her head: "Not yet, because I suspect food poisoning, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Dean Sun scolded: "Since the white blood cells have decreased, you should do a bone marrow examination to see if there is any bone marrow hyperplasia or poor cell production. Go!"

Seeing the nurse leave in a hurry, Dean Sun found the director of the emergency department again.

"How is it? Has the cause been found out? What does the patient's family say?"

The director of the emergency department looked worried: "These patients are all employees of the ocean-going fishery company. They developed symptoms in the dormitory today. The company sent someone to the hospital urgently. The family members are currently out of town. They just called to inform them that they may not arrive until tomorrow." .”

"As for the cause of the disease, they have been soaking in the sea for a year, and they have been to a lot of places. They have been eating and drinking every night for the past few days. We can only preliminarily deduce that it is food poisoning."

"However, there are some food left in the dormitory, all of which have been sent for inspection, and the poisoning should be found out soon."

Dean Sun frowned, and pondered: "Have you noticed that the patient's skin has turned red, and there are patches of blisters."

The director of the emergency department nodded and said, "I have noticed this too. Considering that the patients are all sailors and have stayed on the ship for many years, the sun is very strong, the skin is sunburned by ultraviolet rays, and the skin is inflamed and blisters. These are all normal."

Dean Sun faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it out for a moment. He just felt that this kind of skin damage looked familiar, not quite like sunburn.

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he blurted out: "Do you think it might be chronic radiation sickness?"

The director of the emergency department was stunned for a moment: "Chronic radiation sickness is usually caused by X-rays or nuclear radiation, but there is no such equipment at sea. The ultraviolet radiation is strong, but it is not enough to make people sick."

Dean Sun also felt that his idea was a bit far-fetched, and said, "I'm also skeptical. Since we can't find the cause of the disease for a while, we have to consider all aspects. But you are right, the fishing boats are full of sea fish. Where did the core come from?" Radiation, hehe, I was worrying too much."

"But just in case, I still ask the nurse to do a bone marrow examination on the patient, so that at least it can be ruled out."

The director of the emergency department chuckled: "Of course, you are right, no matter what the situation is, you must be considerate."

"Okay, let's wait for the test results to come out." Dean Sun waved his hand and turned to leave.

Regardless of food inspection or bone marrow inspection, it will take a day or two to get the results, so we can only wait first.

As for the public health incident, because the patient's life is not in danger, it is not too serious, and there is no sign of infection, so there is no need to report it for the time being.

The next morning, as soon as Dean Sun arrived at the hospital, he was taken to the emergency room again.

He glanced at the crowded ward and was stunned.

"What the hell? Another 10 have been sent over?"

"They all have the same symptoms?"

"What the hell does this company feed its employees?"

"Check, let me check the patient inside and out, from beginning to end."

"This is definitely not an ordinary food poisoning incident."

On the third day, under urgent urging, both the food inspection report and the bone marrow inspection report came out.

Dean Sun looked at the report in his hand and couldn't believe his eyes.

A large number of neat question marks and exclamation marks appeared above his head in an instant.

"That's right, radioactive substances were detected in the dried fish in the staff dormitory that exceeded the standard?"

"Poor production of bone marrow cells led to a sudden drop in white blood cells, which was determined to be internally illuminated chronic radiation sickness."

"Combined with the two reports, the etiology is almost ready to be revealed."

"This should be a sea fish caught by the employees themselves on the boat. After eating it for a year, they actually developed chronic radiation sickness?"

An inexplicable chill surged into his heart instantly, and he shivered Lingling.

Dean Sun squeezed the two reports in his hands, dropped a few words, and ran out without looking back, taking out his phone while running.

"No, something serious happened."

"You treat the patient first, the situation is urgent, I have to report to the higher authorities immediately."
