Chapter 824 Yes!

The urine bag is still purple.

Now, not only the doctors in the second cardiology department, but also the doctors in other wards and departments were very interested in this urine bag.

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

Lu Chen was also a little confused now.

The 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" again.

Because the patient's other examinations and tests basically showed no problems, a urine culture showed "Klebsiella pneumoniae"!

Intuition told Lu Chen that the purple urine must be related to this!

…

However, Lu Chen himself is not engaged in basic research now. Maybe he can find someone in the laboratory to refer to and find some hints.

Lu Chen opened the WeChat group 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.

"Let's go, Lu Chen, what are you talking about? Who is so boring that he uses urine bags to hold paint?"

Lu Chen replied angrily, "What kind of paint? This is urine!"

"Huh? Is this purple urine?"

Ke Yue immediately bubbled up, "Such strange urine? Lu Chen, what is the cause of this?"

Wang Zihao interrupted, "Did you eat something containing pigment?"

"No, it's not pigment." Lu Chen said, "A patient with heart failure who is hospitalized in our department has a normal diet. He usually eats millet and the like. 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 a reaction between some substance in the body and the new things entering the patient's body, which may be bacteria, viruses, etc.!"

Lu Chen immediately said: "The patient's urine culture was Klebsiella pneumoniae! Apart from 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 it's right!"

Wang Zihao suddenly interrupted everyone's speculation.

"We have encountered patients whose urine culture showed Klebsiella pneumoniae before. Why have we never seen some patients with this kind of reaction?"

"There should be a certain probability of reaction, and it is related to the individuality of the patient." Ke Yue gave a reasonable explanation, "However, it is all speculation now. The final step 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, causing the urine to turn purple.

He returned home and began to change his mind.

Check some literature online to find out about Klebsiella pneumoniae and what substances can produce purple things.

This investigation revealed a lot of chemical substances.

Among them, one of the most common substances is tryptophan!

Coincidentally, this old lady was eating food rich in tryptophan, that is, rice, shrimp, etc.!

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

Once indoxyl sulfate and Klebsiella pneumoniae join hands, they can cause some trouble!

Indoxyl sulfate is broken down by Klebsiella pneumoniae to form blue and red compounds, which when mixed form purple.

"Congratulations, the system upgrade completion rate 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!

Others in the department are also convinced by this result.

At the same time, they admired Director Lu Chen’s research spirit very much.

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

Only Lu Chen, from the beginning until now, has been carefully searching for every clue.

Subsequently, after four days of intravenous rehydration without antibiotics, the old lady's urine returned to normal color.

…

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

Jin Miao watched in amazement as Lu Chen was writing a paper on "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 it this time?"

Lu Chen smiled, "New England Magazine!"

Let me go, it’s the top issue again!

Jin Miao swallowed, her eyes full of envy.

For the cardiovascular field, this is the top journal among the top journals in New England!

If he can publish a paper and it is accepted by the New England Journal, then his position as deputy chief physician will be available immediately!

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

Jin Miao whispered.

"Of course... you can't!" Lu Chen said sternly, "You are not helpful to the entire paper. I definitely can't write your name on it."

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

"real?"

"Really!" Jin Miao nodded quickly.

"Okay." Lu Chen smiled, "Just write it."

"Me? Write an English paper?" Jin Miao hesitated.

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

"Well... OK then." Jin Miao gritted his teeth.

He is a graduate student after all, so there is no problem with writing in English.

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

This is something that can only be encountered by chance.

Jin Miao took the initiative to take on the content of the paper writing.

Lu Chen is much more relaxed now!

He is also intentionally promoting Jin Miao. After all, he can't always do surgery and not do scientific research, right?

...

In a 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 intention of "inspection". How far has Lu Chen grown so far?

The two got off the plane. UU Reading www. uｕｋanshｕ.net

Lu Chen was waiting early.

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

"Mom and Dad!"

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

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

"Hello, I heard about you from Lu Chen, you are so handsome!" Luo Meizhen smiled, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Gu Xinyue was stunned and smiled, "Yes."

"It's still better than this one in my family!" Luo Meizhen was not afraid of embarrassment, "Lu Chen, learn from Xiao Gu."

"Okay." Lu Chen nodded helplessly.

During this period, Gu Xinyue returned to the dormitory of the hospital and returned the room to Lu Wenguo and Lu Meizhen. 　　16377/10752146
