Chapter 243: Chapter 180 Treatment Plan_3

However, this program...

A science-popularizing drama? It seems quite interesting.

"Excellent! I am the embodiment of evil, Virus Queen X! I have come here today to represent evil and to eliminate you all!"

With that line, the audience was brought to a small climax, and Ou Lu was gradually drawn into the program.

[When the virus is dissolved by lysosomes, it takes the opportunity to inject its core RNA into our cells.]

...

[Once the number of viruses increases and they mutate rapidly, the usual immune methods are ineffective, so the ultimate immune defense, the "Factor Storm," is activated.

A massive influx of immune cells into the lungs will launch indiscriminate attacks, leading to ruptured blood vessels, lung necrosis, and a series of severe consequences.

Without functioning lungs to breathe, death of the body is only a matter of time.]

"Eh?" Ou Lu let out a soft exclamation.

...

[When the virus is too powerful, doctors can only choose to use hormone-like drugs to suppress the human immune cells from using the overly powerful weapon of "Factor Storm."]

...

"Come on! In this city, only one of us can remain in the end!"

With the final line, the forces of good and evil collided fiercely, and the stage slowly closed...

A moment later, what followed was the prolonged and enthusiastic applause.

Meng Lang did not pay attention to the surrounding comments and applause; he kept focusing on the changes in Ou Lu’s expression.

Seeing that she seemed to have gained some insights, Meng Lang finally ventured to speak.

"Dr. Ou, what do you think of this program?"

Ou Lu turned to look at him with a puzzled expression.

I ask a question, and you tell me not to speak, yet you ask quite naturally...

"Hmm! It’s educational and entertaining, and although it doesn’t contain any profound medical theories, the strategies for combating certain specific viruses are quite interesting and innovative.

It’s obvious that the playwright put a lot of effort into it."

Something gained? That’s good then!

"If I remember correctly, Dr. Ou, you are a graduate student at the School of Communicable Disease Medicine, right?"

"Hmm!" Ou Lu nodded calmly.

He knows even the requirements for a family son-in-law, knowing my alma mater and major is not surprising at all...

Ou Lu realized that in just a short time, she had already become somewhat immune to Meng Lang’s omniscience...

"So, what do you think would be the appropriate treatment if a situation like this occurred?" Meng Lang coaxed gently.

"Hmm..."

Ou Lu thought carefully for a moment.

"If a virus-induced Factor Storm really occurs, the cytokines within the human body, along with the activated immune cells, will circulate through the bloodstream to various organs including the brain, liver, kidneys, and cardiovascular system.

This kind of attack, once excessive, will indiscriminately attack the body’s own substances as foreign objects, causing damage to the organs.

However, oftentimes, the damage caused to the organs by this excessive immune response is mistakenly believed to be caused by the virus.

Therefore, the ideal treatment should be two-fold!

It should both fight the virus and prevent an overactive immune response.

In the early stages of the disease, the main focus should be on combating the virus, preventing excessive viral replication inside the human body.

After the initial phase, the treatment goal should be to even out the immune storm.

At this time, the virus count might already be very low, even undetectable, but if there is an excessive immune reaction, it will cause damage to the organs.

At this time, some treatment plans are needed that can appropriately control this immune storm, reducing the damage caused by an overactive immune system to various organs.

So... the key is..."

"In timing the control of the immune storm! It can’t be used too early, otherwise, it might suppress the immune response, which is detrimental to eliminating the virus.

Nor can it be used too late, otherwise, the immune storm will cause substantial organ damage, right?" Meng Lang asked with a smile.

"Eh? You know about this too?" Ou Lu said in surprise.

This man seems always to be full of surprises.

"A little bit."

Meng Lang steered the conversation back to treatment plans.

"This key point sounds simple, but it’s very difficult in practice. Determining the right treatment timing requires a mature detection method, which, as far as I know, is not yet available domestically."

"Hmm! You’re right, evening out the cytokine storm can currently be achieved through IL-6 inhibitors and IL-1 inhibitors.

However, the effects and timing of various inhibitors are indeed worth studying..."

"There are also GM-CSF inhibitors and JAK inhibitors, I think they could be included in the research scope..."

Following this, the two engaged in a detailed and deep discussion on specific research methods and treatment procedures.

Ou Lu found that her counterpart occasionally hit the nail on the head, often pinpointing crucial issues, instantly feeling a sense of kinship, and the conversation became even more engaging.

Doctor Fang, noticing Meng Lang talking fervently with the goddess about medicine, suddenly came out of his slump.

Fuck! Did he trick me?

Is this taking advantage of the situation?

Right! Seeking a son-in-law is one thing, but that doesn’t stop me from flirting!

I almost got spun around by him!

This bastard!

However, just as the belatedly realizing Doctor Fang tried to join the conversation, attempting to regain some standing with his scholarly knowledge, he suddenly found...

What are they talking about?

Why am I, a surgeon, listening to communicable diseases...
