Chapter 481
Medicine king Sun Simiao has never been able to find it.
However, I found some people who claimed to be the disciples of the Medicine King, but after inspection, they were basically bluffers, some of them knew some folk remedies, and some didn't know anything.
For these guys, Qin Lang threw them to the official workshop for hard labor.
But externally, Qin Lang kept saying that these disciples of the Medicine King were developing antidote, and released some good news from time to time.
As the hunger situation eased, the large number of people in Guanzhong went out to eat less, and under the policy of increasing isolation and blockade in the customs, the epidemic situation decreased a little bit.
Jingnan, Zhongnan Mountain.
In the deep mountains and high valleys, there is a hidden military camp, which is heavily guarded.
The three prime ministers, Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, and Wang Gui followed Qin Lang with serious expressions and went through layers of inspection before entering the barracks.
"Is there really a way to inoculate people with pox?" Changsun Wuji was also very skeptical.
"This is a new method researched by the disciples of the King of Medicine based on the medicine of the King of Medicine. Acne can be prevented by catching acne in advance." Qin Lang explained.
Acne poisoning is rampant now, causing a large number of children to die from acne. Although the death rate from acne in Chang'an, Beijing, has been controlled at about 5%, in other places, the mortality rate has reached 30-40%, or even higher.
Qin Lang had no choice but to propose the method of vaccination in the name of the King of Medicine. In later generations, the best species of vaccination was vaccinia, but Qin Lang knew nothing about vaccinia vaccination.
The medical officers in the epidemic prevention camp he organized also believed that this was simply not feasible. Another thing is that no cows with pox have been found, but children with pox are everywhere now.
Qin Lang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and discussed with the medical officers the method of vaccination against smallpox. Although the medical officers thought it was too unreliable, Qin Lang insisted that it was the king of medicine and asked them to study it.
Under his insistence, the preliminary theoretical research has been almost smoothed out, and slaves are also used for clinical trials.
The clinical trial results are surprisingly good.
Now those medical officers have even summed up a wealth of experience.
“The most important thing in choosing a vaccine is to distinguish between good and bad ones. The good ones are waxy and shiny, fat and thick, so they can be collected and used. For those vaccines that are not sure, I would rather not use them than abuse them.”
Medical officials have even researched to dilute the acne serum and use it as a seedling.
Several gray-haired medical officers have been studying these all day recently. Although they are exhausted, the breakthrough in medical skills has made each of them refreshed and flushed.
Deep in the camp, there is a more secret underground chamber. Dr. Zhang showed them the seedlings.
Special vials are used to store high-quality vaccinia collected from children, and buried in the soil for later use.
“When the pox vaccine is to be used, it is first diluted in a special ratio, used to dye clothes, and let children wear them.”
According to him, three days after wearing this kind of clothes stained with diluted acne solution, the child will have acne sprouts all over the body. At this time, take care carefully and do not use medicine. After ten days, the acne will gradually shrink. The children who were vaccinated And he was healed.
"In some places, seven or eight out of ten people die from acne. The key is to mistake acne for other febrile diseases and give children hot medicine. As a result, they mistakenly use the hot medicine to sweat, causing the yang heat to intensify. to death in darkness."
Looking at those small porcelain bottles, Li Jing felt his scalp go numb.
"Does it really work?"
"At the beginning, we couldn't believe that this method could work. It was Duke Wei who insisted that it was the prescription of the king of medicine, and that it had already been verified. That's why we dared to research in this direction. Finally, we tested it with slaves when we were sure. it works."
After clinical experiments, it was found that the vaccination method of human pox is not only effective, but also very effective.
Of the one hundred children vaccinated by them, only one has died so far.
"This method of inoculating acne is so good that it can be called a peaceful acne treatment. With this magical formula, I will no longer be afraid of the rampant acne poison in the future." Old doctor Zhang exclaimed excitedly.
The 1% mortality rate after picking up acne is indeed extremely low, and Dr. Zhang said that there may be reasons such as improper operation. is one in a million.
"Will children always have acne marks on their faces after receiving acne rash?"
"No, the pox after receiving the pox seed is just a little chickenpox, and it will not fester, pus and scab, so the chickenpox marks will disappear soon."
After hearing this, Changsun Wuji expressed his desire to see those Yaowang disciples, expressed his feelings and wanted to give them credit.
"They are researching in a very strict place, and they ask not to be disturbed. After they are successful, please ask for credit for them!" Qin Lang said.
"If you haven't already researched the prescription, why do you still need to study it?"
"We are currently studying an improved method. Instead of directly using the pox liquid as a vaccine, we mainly use the pox scab. Now we are using the method of diluting the pox pulp, which is still toxic to a certain extent and cannot be completely guaranteed to be safe."
Although acne scab is safer than acne paste, it is not the safest.
Qin Lang and a group of doctors are now researching in the direction of raising and selecting seedlings, which is actually the operation of refining, purifying and detoxifying vaccines. According to some old doctors, the toxicity of vaccinia can be reduced through continuous vaccination and selection.
The more times of refining, the more mature the vaccinia, the safer the more mature vaccinia, and the higher its value.
Of course, the time and cost required will be higher.
"Now we have researched several ways to pick up acne. The simplest method is the acne clothing method, which uses clothes dyed with diluted acne fluid to cause acne. This method generates heat and slows down acne, but it is relatively safe."
"Another way is to directly take the fresh pox pulp of children with smallpox and stuff it into the nostrils of the vaccinated children to get pox. Because this method needs to directly puncture the pox, and the pox is also highly toxic, so now we basically don't This method is recommended."
In addition to these two methods, there are new and improved drought pox and chickenpox methods that use acne scabs as vaccines. The dry pox method uses smallpox pox scabs to be ground into fine powder, and blown into the nostrils to inoculate the pox rash. This kind of pox generally produces a rash within seven days. It is simple, and the pox vaccine is weak in toxicity, but because it is easy to irritate the nose, it will make the child's nose runny increase, often leading to unsuccessful vaccination.
The chickenpox method that is currently being studied is to use boiled pox scab seedlings, mix them with three or five drops of clean water or human milk, wrap the pox seedlings in silk flocks, pinch them into jujube pits, stuff them into the nostrils and take them out after half a day, usually seven days Fever see acne, to achieve the preventive effect.
This method is also the safest method for pox, but it takes time to mature the pox and the cost is high.
Of course, the best way is to purify and improve the varicella vaccine many times, which will be safer.
"Can you hurry up and raise a batch of mature seedlings?" Changsun Wuji asked.
“This takes time and costs a lot.”
"Cost is not a problem. If there is not enough manpower, we will send more people, and if the money is not enough, we will allocate money!" Changsun said urgently.
Pox disease doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, even the emperor's son will die of pox disease, so everyone wants a high-quality cooked pox seed.
The eldest grandson wanted to conduct several batches of experiments immediately. If the effect can still be guaranteed, he would quickly ask the emperor for instructions on the ripe seedlings and then give the princes the pox.
Of course, my own children must also be vaccinated.
Changsun Wuji also went with Wang Gui and Li Jing to personally see the batch of children who had had acne after receiving the acne. They were all a group of slaves, and most of the selected children were disabled and sick.
These people were selected for the first batch of clinical trials because of their identities and physical disabilities, but they were also lucky. Out of a hundred people, only one died.
Everything else is fine, even after receiving the pox in this camp, some of their original diseases and even some disabilities are being treated by the top doctors of Datang.
During the observation period, Qin Lang not only gave them a good living environment, hot water, clean and comfortable clothes, etc., but even taught them to read. These children who were the most miserable before, now live here as if they are in heaven.
Anyway, they feel that they are in heaven.
Changsun Wuji saw that these children did have some acne marks that did not fade away, and finally believed in Qin Lang, no, he believed in the medicine king's prescription.
A mature and prudent person like Li Jing couldn't help but be amazed again and again.
"Immediately send flying cavalry to Luoyang to report the victory. It is best to send a few doctors to bring some ripe seedlings there, so that His Majesty can personally verify it." Wang Gui also said excitedly.
Such a good anti-acne method is simply an ancient work.
After children take the initiative to pick up acne, they are no longer afraid of the epidemic of acne.
The eldest grandson pulled Qin Lang, "I don't know when Sanlang is going to vaccinate your Dalang?"
"To be honest, my Jun'er has actually received the vaccine, and it is estimated that pimples and rashes will appear in the next few days."
The eldest grandson was stunned, this is too bold, Qin Lang is just such a son, and he has pimples for the child so soon?
"Eldest grandson, at this time, the pox vaccination method is still a little dangerous, but even the pox clothing method has reduced the mortality rate to one percent, and the chickenpox method is one in a thousand. But now the acne is rampant outside, Once infected, if it is a serious disease, the death rate will be two or three out of ten, so I dare not gamble."
Changsun Wuji originally wanted to raise Shi Miao more, but now hearing what Qin Lang said, he was a little flustered.
If you get infected without waiting for high-quality mature seedlings, wouldn't you regret it?
"Sanlang, can you please help arrange for the doctor to come to my house to pick up the acne?"
"If the eldest grandson is willing, I can arrange it here immediately. I must ensure that the mature seedlings that have been purified from the scabs are used."
Eldest Sun Wuji was moved, "Thank you, Saburo."
When Li Jing and Wang Gui heard this, they couldn't help coming over, and cheekily proposed to Qin Lang that they should treat the acne for their children and grandchildren.
