I Can See Health

   Chapter 828 Yes!

   The urine bag is still purple.

   Now, not only the doctors in the second area of ​​the Cardiology Department, but also the doctors in other wards and other departments are 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 a little confused now.

   The change in color indicates that there must be an inherent reaction in the patient's urine.

   But why is this reaction?

  Lu Chen turned his attention to "Klebsiella pneumoniae" again.

  Because of the patient's other tests, there was basically no problem, and the urine culture showed "Klebsiella pneumoniae"!

   Intuition told Lu Chen that purple urine must have something to do with this!

  …

   However, Lu Chen himself doesn't do basic research now. Maybe he can find some tips from someone in the lab for reference.

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

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

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

   Wang Zihao was the first to appear.

   "I'm going, Lu Chen, what are you doing? Who is so boring and uses a urine bag to pack paint?"

  Lu Chen replied angrily, "What paint, this is urine!"

   "Huh? Is this purple urine?"

  Ke Yue also bubbling immediately, "Such strange urine? Lu Chen, what is the reason for this?"

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

"No, it's not pigment." Lu Chen said, "A heart failure patient who was hospitalized in our department had a normal diet, usually eating millet or something. Ke Yue, you are engaged in basic research, I want to ask you, before Have you seen anything similar?"

   "Not really." Ke Yue replied, "But I think it should be some kind of substance in the body, and the new thing entering the patient's body, possibly bacteria, viruses, etc., reacted!"

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

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

   "I don't think so!"

   Wang Zihao suddenly interrupted everyone's conjecture.

   "We have also encountered patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae in urine culture 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 the conversation with his friends, Lu Chen had some ideas.

  Klebsiella pneumoniae, reacts with a certain substance, making the urine purple.

   He came home and began to change his mind.

   Check some literature online to see what Klebsiella pneumoniae and what substances can produce purple things.

   This investigation really found a lot of chemical substances.

   One of the most common substances is tryptophan!

   Coincidentally, the old lady is eating foods rich in tryptophan, that is, rice, shrimp and the like!

   Tryptophan is broken down into indoxyl sulfate in the liver, which is then excreted in the urine.

   Once Indoxyl Sulfate and Klebsiella pneumoniae go hand in hand, they do something!

  Indoxyl sulfate will be decomposed by Klebsiella pneumoniae to form blue and red compounds, which will become purple when mixed.

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

  Lu Chen sighed in relief.

  Find out the answer!

   The purple urine bag is because of the reaction between tryptophan and Klebsiella pneumoniae!

   For this result, others in the department are also more convinced.

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

   Most of the other people regard the purple urine bag as a talking point before and after tea.

   Only Lu Chen, from the beginning of discovery, to now, has been earnestly searching for clues in every place.

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

  …

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

  Jin Miao looked in amazement, Lu Chen was writing this "purple urine" related paper.

   "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 it this time?"

  Lu Chen smiled, "New England Magazine!"

  I'm going, it's the top issue again!

  Jin Miao swallowed her saliva, her eyes filled with envy.

   For the cardiovascular field, New England is the top of the top journals!

  If he can publish a paper and be accepted by the New England Journal, then he will have the position of associate 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, "It doesn't help the whole paper, I definitely can't write your name on it."

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

"real?"

   "Really!" Jin Miao nodded quickly.

   "That's good." Lu Chen smiled, "Come and write."

   "Me? Write an English paper?" Jin Miao said hesitantly.

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

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

   He is a graduate student, so writing in English is definitely no problem.

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

   This is something that can be encountered and unattainable.

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

  Lu Chen is much more relaxed now!

   He also intends to support Jin Miao. After all, he can't always do surgery and not engage in scientific research, right?

  …

   in the blink of an eye.

   It's time for Lu Wenguo and Luo Meizhen to come to Guanghai.

Before   , Luo Jun's surgery 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 meaning of "investigation". How far has Lu Chen grown?

  The two got off the plane.

  Lu Chen was waiting early in the morning.

   Beside, 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.

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

   "Hello, I heard Lu Chen say 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, "I have."

   "It's 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.
