Niu Meiqi from the Ming Science Department and Lan Lizhen were in the same dormitory. She was working overtime at this time, and it was a bit strange to see Lan Lijuan come in:

"Lijuan, why did you come to the laboratory?"

Lan Lijuan raised a watermelon in her hand and said with a smile: "I want to borrow your microscope to do some experiments."

Not far away, Zhao Ning, director of the laboratory department who was also working overtime, raised his head and said with a smile:

"Our clinical doctors finally remember our hard-working auxiliary departments? Did you see that you have all finished lunch and we are still working overtime?"

Lan Lijuan quickly said politely: "Director Zhao, I am determined to kill the enemy, but I am powerless to save the day. The work of your laboratory department is too professional, and I can't help you even if I want to."

"Haha, no need to help, by the way, what experiment do you want to do?"

"Are there many gastric mucosal specimens in our laboratory?"

Niu Meiqi replied: "Not many. Our hospital only has one gastroscope, so there are not many examinations. There are only two biopsies today."

Lan Lijuan pointed to the microscope and said: "I just want to observe the gastric mucosal biopsy to find inspiration for future topics."

Director Zhao was a little confused: "Lijuan, not long after you started working, you got your turn to do the project?"

Lan Lijuan smiled bitterly: "Director Zhao is joking, I won't get it any time. I just want to find inspiration on my own. I can't just study without a topic, right? If you really need it, you have to pay for it at your own expense."

Director Zhao was not awe-struck at all: "Hey, that's good. It's a good thing for young people to want to make progress. You can use the machines in our laboratory as you wish."

After defeating the boss of the laboratory department, Lan Lijuan finally got the Shang Fang Baby Sword, so she quickly sat down next to Niu Meiqi.

Niu Meiqi brought over two gastric mucosal specimens: "Here, these two specimens have been tested. You can do whatever experiments you like."

"Thank you."

"It's okay, you are busy with your business."

Lan Lijuan put the specimen under the microscope, adjusted the aperture to focus, and eagerly searched for the unknown spiral-shaped bacteria her boyfriend mentioned. However, she searched the two specimens several times, and found a spiral bacteria.

None found.

I suddenly felt a little depressed. I didn’t know if there was something wrong with my level or with the specimen.

"Meiqi, what kind of patients are these two specimens from?"

"They are all gastric ulcers. I did a biopsy and wanted to test whether it is gastric cancer. What's wrong? Do you have any new findings?"

"Stomach ulcer?"

Lan Lijuan thought to herself, aren't these the key groups of unknown pathogenic bacteria mentioned by Chen Qi? How come no one can be found?

"Meiqi, I want to look for some special bacteria in the specimens. What do you think I should do to find them correctly?"

"Special bacteria?"

Niu Meiqi raised her head and pointed to the dye next to her.

"You should do a Gram stain first, but Lijuan, how can there be bacteria on the gastric mucosa? There is stomach acid there."

The current mainstream view at home and abroad is that the stomach is suitable for bacterial growth, because gastric acid can kill all bacteria.

Before the discovery of Helicobacter pylori, the mainstream view was that gastric diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcers were caused by improper diet, stimulation by certain drugs, or stress reactions caused by emotional excitement.

This is also written in the original textbooks.

But it is precisely because the real cause has not been found that gastritis was considered incurable before Helicobacter pylori was discovered.

When questioned by her colleagues, Lan Lijuan blushed, "I'm just looking for inspiration, haha, what if there is one?"

Niu Meiqi didn't take it seriously either. After all, when doing a project, she was just randomly looking for an entrance and doing whatever she liked, so she just kept her head down and worked.

Lan Lijuan also quickly followed the steps and began to patiently stain. After finishing some work, she took the slide to the microscope and took a look. She was pleasantly surprised.

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

Sure enough, she saw curved bacteria in the camera lens, with many flagella at one end. Could this be the unknown pathogenic bacteria Chen Qi mentioned?

Lan Lijuan changed another specimen and observed it again. This time she also found bacteria on the gastric mucosa, but the shape of the bacteria was different from the previous specimen, but they also had flagella.

This makes Lan Lijuan feel a little unconfident. Which kind of unknown pathogenic bacteria is the one mentioned by Chen Qi?

But she was still a little excited. At least Chen Qi's hypothesis of the existence of bacteria in the gastric mucosa was established. This was indeed a subject worthy of study, and it was extremely subversive. It was really confirmed that even the textbooks had to be rewritten.

There is no WeChat these days, so it is impossible to ask immediately.

Lan Lijuan borrowed a red pen and a blue pen and could only draw the shapes of several bacteria she had observed, especially the flagellum structure. She drew them carefully and planned to send them to her boyfriend so that he could also identify them.

.

After Niu Meiqi finished her work, she glanced at it as she passed by and asked strangely:

"Hey, Lanjuan, what are you drawing? Is this bacteria? Found on gastric mucosal specimens? How is that possible? The specimen is probably contaminated."

When Lan Lijuan heard this, she felt that this possibility could not be ruled out. Then, as Chen Qi said, more experiments needed to be done.

At this time, she also made up her mind to go back and learn the operation of gastroscopy first, and then take care of all the gastroscopy work in the internal medicine department by herself.

In this way, her workload will be increased, others will be relaxed, and I believe her colleagues are also optimistic about the results. And she will collect the specimens and conduct experiments herself, so she can better grasp first-hand data.

After the research on these unknown pathogenic bacteria is almost complete, first-hand evidence is obtained, and the number of specimens is sufficient, this paper will be approached by the department director. To be published, it must be recommended by the hospital.

When the time comes, give Chen Qi the title of first author, so that he can be transferred back to work in the city more easily.

Lan Lijuan thought of this and secretly encouraged herself, ready to roll up her sleeves and work harder.

This is the advantage of Chen Qi, a reborn person.

In fact, it is very simple to search for some unknown bacteria in the gastric mucosa. However, in this era, everyone’s thoughts are imprisoned and limited.

Like Niu Meiqi, she naturally believes that there is no possibility of bacteria in the area soaked in stomach acid. Occasionally, it is found that the specimen is contaminated.

But some doctors don't believe in this evil. Two doctors in Australia, for example, kept searching. After finding it, they worked hard to prove that this spiral-shaped bacteria is directly related to the occurrence of gastric diseases.

Then they succeeded and won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

It's that simple, but because of its simplicity, if you find the wrong direction, thousands of experiments will be in vain and useless.

Chen Qi is a reborn person. All his experience and knowledge are built on the shoulders of giants. Who told him that he is now 40 years ahead of this era.

Maybe one day, he and Lan Lijuan can also become "giants".
