Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 139 Lymphocytes and Viruses

"Look at what you said. The leader of the Ministry of Agriculture called you personally, why do you still act like you're joking?" Mr. Xu said unhappily on the other end of the phone.

This kid Shen Xing is a real tiger!

You mistook my leader for a scammer and even hung up the phone on him!
But Mr. Xu could understand. After all, Shen Xing didn't know yet how much value his treatment of the national bird, the red-crowned crane, and his cure for the rare disease in the crane was worth!

Shen Xing has no habit of surfing the Internet, but Lao Xu is the dean of Shen Medical University. He needs to read foreign literature on a regular basis. Some of his students are studying abroad at foreign universities, so he is naturally very clear about foreign news.

The country is calm and peaceful, but the world is in turmoil abroad!

Foreign media, such as the New York Times and CNN, originally used the point that "there is no veterinarian in China who can cure birds" to suppress Chinese veterinarians, and even went on to suppress Chinese medicine, such as traditional Chinese medicine, in order to pave the way for their Western medical technology layout in China.

The logic is very simple. First, they suppress the veterinarians, saying that you are useless trash who can’t even cure the disease of our national bird and are such a waste. Then they use the media to ignite public opinion and spread the word in the country that Chinese veterinary medicine is trash and that there is no talent in Chinese veterinary medicine and that there is not even an expert who can cure the disease of our national bird!
Next, the actions of the foreigners are self-evident. Under pressure from public opinion, since there was no one in China, they had to spend a lot of money to invite foreigners to take action. The foreigners held their chins high and head proudly, and personally took action, flying to China with a group of experts, and even brought those reporters from CNN and the New York Times to broadcast live how they cured the disease of the Chinese birds!

On the one hand, it dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Chinese people, and on the other hand, it promoted the miraculous medical skills of Western veterinary medicine. Killing two birds with one stone, why not?

At that time, let those universities, such as Harvard, Massachusetts, and Cambridge, show up and lure all the talented people in the country to go abroad and work for them!
By then, there will be no fresh blood to replenish the Chinese veterinary medicine, and the old ones will be too old, some will die, some will get sick, and the newcomers will not be able to keep up. Will Chinese veterinary medicine slowly decline?

The foreign senior executives and media had a good plan, but they never expected that Veterinarian Shen would suddenly appear halfway!
Moreover, he was a latecomer, having only read medical books for a few days, but he started to treat illnesses. As a result, he even cured the national bird, the red-crowned crane, and found the root cause of the rare disease!

This is undoubtedly telling those foreigners:

Any random person from my Chinese nation can destroy you white people’s limit with just a little effort!
This is a slap in the face of foreigners!
Their plans were ruined!

So, is Shen Xing awesome?
Awesome!
But obviously, Shen Xing doesn’t know how awesome he is, but Lao Xu knows, and those old guys in the Ministry of Agriculture know!

Otherwise, why would such a big shot from the Ministry of Agriculture condescend to call Shen Xing in person?

This is entirely because Shen Xing saved the national bird with just a casual move and enhanced the national prestige of China!
It can be said that Shen Xing's slight move prevented a possible crisis of the decline of Chinese veterinary medicine!

Foreign forces' interference in Chinese medicine has become deeply rooted, as can be seen from the fact that Gou Dongxi took the initiative to provide them with China's core veterinary technology!
In the veterinary field, people like Gou Dongxi will not be the last.

When you see a cockroach, it means there is already a nest of cockroaches around!
There may even be more than one nest. After all, the land area of ​​our great China is 960 million square kilometers. I don’t know how many nests of cockroaches can be raised!
On the other end of the phone, Shen Xing smiled embarrassedly:
"How could I have known that the Ministry of Agriculture would call me personally? I'm just a nobody who raises tigers and knows some medical skills."

"You kid are still pretending in front of me? You like to pretend so much, right? You are a small figure, then what are we old guys?" Xu Zhengdong puffed his beard and glared.

A group of experts from the Medical University, the Provincial Forestry Bureau and even the Ministry of Agriculture were unable to find the root cause of the disease, but you solved it easily. And you still say you are a small fry?

Who is this little guy who can defeat so many veterinary experts?
Xu Zhengdong rolled his eyes, speechless. It's only been a few days since we last met, and Shen Xing is already pretending? And he's even learned to act like a Versailles?
"By the way, Mr. Xu, has that matter been resolved?" At this time, Shen Xing suddenly thought of something and asked seriously on the other end of the phone.

"We tested the blood, and that rare disease doesn't seem like a pre-existing genetic disease." Xu Zhengdong shook his head and said.

A few days ago, before Xu Zhengdong and other experts left Huling Station, they asked Shen Xing to collect blood from the two red-crowned cranes and take it home for testing to find the root cause of this "rare disease". Of course, this blood was from the sick red-crowned cranes, and Shen Xing had kept it specially. He originally wanted to test the blood, which coincided with Lao Xu's idea.

When handing the blood sample to Lao Xu, Shen Xing expressed his thoughts. He thought it was a genetic problem, and a rare genetic disease that would only occur under certain specific circumstances.

As for what the specific situation was, Shen Xing couldn't judge, but he always felt that the rare diseases that appeared in the red-crowned cranes these times were not as simple as they seemed.

Shen Xing told this guess to Mr. Xu.

As soon as Mr. Xu returned, he immediately started testing the blood of the red-crowned cranes.

After testing, Mr. Xu did not find any genetic problems with the red-crowned cranes, but discovered something else.

"But we found that..." Mr. Xu hesitated on the other end of the phone.

"What did you find?" Shen Xing asked curiously.

"After we tested the blood of the red-crowned cranes, we found that the number of lymphocytes had been reduced by more than half, and the number of cells was less than one-tenth!" said Mr. Xu in a deep voice.

"what?!"

Shen Xing was shocked. Only one tenth of the lymphocytes in the red-crowned crane's body?
You should know that lymphocytes include T cells, B cells, and NK cells. These three types of cells may sound unfamiliar, but they all have a general name - immune cells!
Yes! These are the immune cells that fight viruses and fight against viruses!

For example, humans, like red-crowned cranes, also have T cells, B cells, and NK cells in their bodies. Once they get the flu and the virus enters the body, these three types of cells fight against the virus, which causes the body to have a fever. When the fever goes away, it means that the immune cells have won.

If the fever does not subside, it means the virus is too strong and these three types of cells cannot defeat it. At this time, giving you an IV drip, an injection, or even taking antipyretics can give these antiviral cells a boost and allow them to fight the virus hard!
The national bird, the red-crowned crane, has less than one-tenth of these three types of cells in its body. What does this mean?
This means that they have lost more than half of their immunity, reaching a terrifying nine-tenths!

If these natural killer cells are not present, nine out of ten will lead to a decrease in the immunity of the red-crowned crane, making it easy for it to be invaded by viruses and even cause its own diseases!

Whether it is humans or animals, there are bacteria and virus antibodies in their bodies. The reason why they do not get sick is because of the lymphocytes and immune cells.

To put it simply, if the immune system remains balanced, people or animals will not get sick!
If the immune system is weakened, humans and animals will easily be invaded by viruses and suffer from serious illnesses!

The two red-crowned cranes, and even the red-crowned cranes that suffered from rare diseases a few times ago, were in this situation.

"It's very strange. Logically speaking, red-crowned cranes are wild creatures and live in groups in our country. There are problems with their environment and diet, so how could their immunity be reduced?" Lao Xu frowned and said in confusion.

But soon, he heard Shen Xing's cold voice on the other end of the phone:
"What if someone infects the red-crowned cranes with a virus that can cause a decrease in lymphocytes?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhengdong's face changed drastically.

There are still many things to do during the holidays. I tried to write it at night and finally caught up. I wish my brothers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and may they become rich and prosperous!
