Chapter 615, Section 677: The Perfect Hydroxyethyl Starch

Everyone understood Xue Donglai's subtext: after all, they weren't Chinese. Foreigners live so well, it's not a big deal for them to suffer a little.

"Their representative also said that they would provide full compensation to the victims in China."

In reality, at this point, it would be difficult for Gao Feng to insist on his own opinion.

“These islanders have learned all the skills of us Chinese,” Li Youliang said with a smile. “They use indirect methods, reason with us, appeal to our emotions, and finally lure us with benefits.”

"They used every trick in the book to teach us everything."

"I've heard that as soon as a contract for a multi-billion dollar investment is presented, the higher-ups' opinions immediately change."

"Alright, let's stop talking about these unpleasant things." Gao Feng was a little annoyed. In his mind, a zero-tolerance policy should be adopted towards these pharmaceutical companies.

This is something that goes into people's stomachs. Da Mu has made such a big mistake, can it be easily covered up by spending some money?
However, from some people's perspective, the death of the distant and powerful pharmaceutical company is of no benefit to them, but if it can bring a multi-billion dollar investment to fruition, that would be a glaring political achievement.

Xue Donglai even called to explain.

"My boss actually had reservations, but he just couldn't withstand the pressure." His tone was full of apology.

"We need to build this, benchmark against that, and improve... I can understand that... everyone has their own difficulties."

Xue Donglai has been working here for quite some time and has seen a lot of things, too many to recount in a few words.

The matter of red yeast rice health products is simple in some ways, but complex in others.

Moreover, most of the victims in China also hope to reach a settlement with Damu Pharmaceutical. They expect to receive full compensation, and they don't really care whether Damu Pharmaceutical should be severely punished.

I can just stop eating food from this company.

This is a young patient with airway stenosis: Xiao Yu, who is a dim-witted college student.

Xiao Yu successfully confessed her feelings on Valentine's Day, and with her roommates egging her on, she drank a few more glasses of alcohol.

Then came the sequence of events: intoxication, vomiting, coma, aspiration pneumonia, and intubation.

This kid also has a tendency to form keloids. Three months after being discharged from the hospital, he developed airway stenosis, and his face turned as purple as an eggplant when he wasn't on oxygen.

I don't want to be in a relationship anymore; I keep threatening to die.

After several cycles of treatment at other hospitals with poor results, I transferred to the provincial hospital.

“No, it will narrow again as soon as the silicone stent is removed.” Liang Congyue.

"Then let's not take it for now," Gao Feng said.

"We can't leave it unremoved, the granulation tissue has already pushed up to the top."

“This patient’s family is quite well-off. His father seems to be a construction contractor. They’ve already visited hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen,” Liang Congyue said.

"What are the family's expectations?" Gao Feng was a little worried. No matter what the disease is, the treatment effect varies from person to person, let alone airway narrowing caused by this kind of keloid scarring.

Even if he had a system, he couldn't guarantee the patient's prognosis.

“Expectations have decreased now,” Liang Congyue said, “but the patients themselves have very high expectations.”

That's understandable, since Xiaoyu is not even 20 years old yet.

"Let's check the situation under the microscope first. Prepare two doses of triamcinolone." Gao Feng quickly got into the zone. Seeing the dense granulation tissue under the microscope, everyone frowned.

"It's not even been a month yet, it's grown so fast!"

However, after measurement, Gao Feng found that the narrowing of the airway was less severe than at the beginning.

"This shows that the treatment is effective."

All that's left is to persevere; what awaits him next are frequent and painful endoscopic treatments.

Fortunately, anesthesia techniques are advancing rapidly; otherwise, such patients would be like the new BMW X3, destined for disaster.

"Xinglong, what are you looking at? Why aren't you on your phone?" Gao Feng asked curiously as he took off his gloves. Anesthesiologist Zheng Xinglong was engrossed in reading a magazine.

He went over and looked at the cover; it was in English: Anesthesia & Analgesia.

This is a medical academic journal founded in 1957 and published monthly.

The journal focuses on the fields of anesthesiology and pain management, covering clinical research areas such as preoperative preparation, patient monitoring, and anesthetic drug development, and calls itself the "global standard in anesthesiology".

While it might sound a bit boastful, it is indeed an authoritative journal with a latest impact factor of 4.661, ranking 8th among 34 SCIE anesthesiology journals.

"I just wrote an article," anesthesiologist Zheng Xinglong said a little embarrassedly. "I just looked for similar content to borrow from it."

“If you’re going to copy, then copy. Why are you talking about learning from others?” Liang Congyue laughed. “You’re shameless.”

“How can this be the work of scholars? No! Who copied it!” Zheng Xinglong was “angry”. “We really did our work and collected the data.”

"Then why are you reading other people's articles?" The people around laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, can you explain it to me?"

"It's just that my statistics are so different from others," Zheng Xinglong said dejectedly. "I don't know if it's because the sample size is too small or what."

Gao Feng glanced at the article, and its title was: "The Effects of Human Serum Albumin Solution and Hydroxyethyl Starch on Postoperative Inflammatory Response and Organ Function in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery."

The author is Professor Boldt of the Medical School at the University of Ludwigshafen, Germany, who is a leading expert in the field of anesthetic fluid therapy worldwide.

Fluid resuscitation is an emergency medical intervention that restores effective blood circulation and maintains organ perfusion by rapidly replenishing fluids. It is often used to treat shock, hypovolemia, or other conditions that result in insufficient tissue perfusion.

In the early stages of modern medicine, doctors typically used isotonic saline, glucose, lactated Ringer's solution, or blood derivatives such as whole blood and plasma to perform fluid resuscitation.

With the rapid advancements in medical physiology research, driven by clinical needs, pharmaceutical companies began developing colloidal solutions that could replace blood products, such as gelatin and hydroxyethyl starch.

The main subject of the article, hydroxyethyl starch, is a chemically modified starch compound, which is a colloidal liquid made by mixing hydroxyethyl starch and sodium chloride in a certain proportion.

In this article, hydroxyethyl starch is shown to be a perfect option for fluid resuscitation.

Gao Feng quickly finished reading the article, and then he felt something was off, something he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"Something's not right?" Zheng Xinglong didn't quite understand what he meant.

"I've taken the book. I'll return it to you in a few days." Gao Feng didn't offer any further explanation.

Would Zheng Xinglong dare to refuse?
“Okay,” he said.
