Chapter 381 New Virus?
This Professor Li Rusong has stood on this podium many times to give lectures to some young doctors, and he has also given lectures on the podium of the Xingda University School of Clinical Medicine, often sitting under the podium are some very young doctors or students They are just like the kid on the opposite side.
But this one in front of me is very different from those doctors or students... This is one of the reasons why Professor Li is very upset...
When others are at the age of the kid in front of you, at most they have the opportunity to sit under the podium and listen to him talk about related theories... How can there be such a situation where you can sit face to face and talk with yourself on an equal footing? Contagion Theory…
Seeing the indifferent look on the boy's face, Professor Li couldn't help feeling a little regretful at this moment... regretting why he wanted to try this kid's skills after hearing that kid praised so much by Professor Pitt for a while... Well now, at my age, I am now on an equal footing with this kid...
But at this time, he couldn't help it, so he had to discuss it with the kid in front of him first...
Xu Ze saw a strange expression in Professor Li's eyes, but he smiled, and then laughed slowly: "I don't know what the old man wants to discuss with me?"
Professor Li picked up the water glass on the podium and took a sip, then looked at Xu Ze, and looked at Xu Ze's confident smile. He laughed and said: "It seems that Dr. Xiao Xu is really good at virology... Then I will talk to you about the latest progress of viruses..."
"Originally, I wanted to ask Professor Pete for advice, but now I can only discuss it with Dr. Xiao Xu first..." Professor Li picked up the teacup, took another sip slowly, and then looked at Xu Ze and said, "I don't know Dr. Xu, Do you know what a virus receptor is?"
Hearing that Professor Li actually asked about the basic knowledge of virology, Xu Ze couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Looking at the smiling face of Professor Li on the opposite side, Xu Ze didn't get angry.
Instead, he nodded and said with a soft smile: "As we all know, virus receptors refer to host cell membrane components that can specifically bind to viruses, mediate virus invasion, and promote virus infection. Glycans, lipids or glycolipids... I don’t know why the old man asked this?”
Seeing that Xu Ze successfully answered this question, Professor Li was not surprised. He was still behind, and then continued to laugh: "Our hospital's virus laboratory... recently discovered that the virus' specificity, high affinity, In terms of saturation, limited binding sites and target cell sites, and unique biological activities... There are various viruses at present... However, we have found that coronaviruses are sometimes particularly specific, and they are antiviral drugs The resistance seems to be relatively strengthened... I don't know what Dr. Xu thinks?"
"The resistance to antiviral drugs has also increased?" Hearing this, Xu Ze couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
He also analyzed the causes of these situations in the virology theories taught by Xiaodao... Two of them are very serious situations...
He looked at Professor Li immediately, and said in a low voice: "The situation that the old man refers to, generally there may be several situations... The first is that the biological activity of the virus is enhanced, which can lead to increased resistance to drugs... The second is the mutation of the virus …This situation can also lead to increased resistance of the virus to the drug…”
Hearing these two points from Xu Ze, Professor Li couldn't help but secretly nodded, and then said, "That's right... Xiao Xu is really familiar with this aspect... I think the virus in our sample this time may be due to a mutation..."
"But... there is a third situation..." Seeing that Professor Li only heard two points from himself and agreed, Xu Ze frowned slightly at this time, and said to himself, "Could it be that Professor Li didn't think of the third situation?" situation?"
"The third situation?" Hearing Xu Ze's words, Professor Li frowned at this moment.
"Yes...the third situation is the emergence of certain new coronaviruses, which can also be highly resistant to antiviral drugs..." Xu Ze looked at Professor Li fixedly at this time, and reminded solemnly: "Mr. ...I don't know if you have thought about this, but if it is a new type of virus...then you must be cautious...Once a new type of virus is found, it may be very harmful..."
Being reminded by Xu Ze like this, Professor Li's expression suddenly changed, and he froze there for a while, seeing Xu Ze looking at him in surprise, he realized that he coughed dryly, and then With a dry smile, he said, "Doctor Xu... this... Well, we've thought about it a long time ago, but we found through comparison that it should still be a common type of coronavirus, but with some mutations... Hehe..."
Seeing Professor Li's sudden flash of astonishment, Xu Ze couldn't help frowning. He wasn't sure what the old man's reaction was just now, but he felt that something was wrong... At this moment, he Surprised, he secretly said: "This old gentleman and their virus, he really didn't compare them carefully..."
Xu Ze was a little skeptical, but Professor Li, who was facing him, seemed to be more polite to Xu Ze at this moment, and then said: "Dr.
Xu Ze answered Professor Li's two questions again, and he became more and more suspicious. He didn't know what the old man was thinking. The next two questions were simple and basic questions, so he asked them no matter what. up?
Just when Xu Ze thought that the old professor would ask himself a few more difficult questions, he saw the old professor. After asking these two questions, he didn't speak anymore, but stood up with a smile and looked at himself. He said: "Doctor Xu Ze is really knowledgeable and good in all aspects... I admire this old man... Let's stop here for today, let's discuss it later when we have time!"
After finishing speaking, he got up and walked off the stage just like that... Xu Ze who was sitting by the side was dumbfounded, why did this old man leave? Just now, the last two questions were just perfunctory, as if they were coping with the situation...
The people below, at this time, also watched that after Professor Li got off the stage, he hurriedly walked outside, without even saying hello to everyone, his face was not very good-looking, and he just left... Stunned, he thought to himself: "What's wrong with old man Li today? Could it be that Dr. Xu didn't feel embarrassed after a few questions, so he just ran away?"
However, this is because Professor Li is an old-timer in Star City after all, and no one dares to discuss it too much, so everyone can only look at Xu Ze above to see what he says...
Xu Ze naturally couldn't understand why at this time, but he probably guessed a little bit. After answering a question by himself just now, the old gentleman was indeed a little restless. If you can bring it up, you can see the problem...
Maybe it was because of my words that I suddenly thought of something...
Now Xu Ze is a little worried. What if it is really what he thinks, and the No. 2 Infectious Diseases Laboratory finds some new viruses, then it will be a little troublesome... I hope this old gentleman can confirm it as soon as possible when he goes back. , don't make any mistakes...
At this time, seeing that everyone below was looking at him curiously, Xu Ze could only stand up with a wry smile, and said, "Okay, now, does anyone have any questions? If not, then we will ask Professor Johnny , and then I will explain to you the situation of other operations..."
Naturally, no one else would have any problems at this time, Xu Ze also heaved a sigh of relief, and then shook hands with the old man Johnny who came forward, and then sat back on the rostrum to rest... Wait a minute, but there is an exclusive interview from Star City Daily... I have to deal with them...
Pete saw Xu Ze sitting over, but then turned his face and smiled: "Xu...you performed very well today..."
"Hmph..." Hearing Pete's compliment, Xu Ze couldn't help but snorted softly, and then said: "Peter, he also said... If it wasn't for you, why would the old man come to me to talk about viruses just now... Don't you Do you know what it means that Muxiu must be destroyed by forest wind?"
Seeing Xu Ze's displeasure, Pete couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Xu...Young people just need to be a bit aggressive, and besides, you are so young, if you don't show your things, it will be very difficult. It's convincing...you even dealt with that professor of yours just now, now, who dares to doubt you? You are a genius...hehehe..."
"Hmph..." Looking at the old man Pete with a playful smile, Xu Ze was really speechless...
"Xu... Wait for your Star City Daily to conduct an exclusive interview with you and Johnny... But they asked to be together, I think it seems that they want us two old men to set off you... Today, Johnny and I will go all out , I'll be a green leaf for you..." Pete said in strange Chinese, looking at Xu Ze with a smile.
"You are Luye?" Xu Ze smiled wryly: "You two top international experts are here, and you are still Luye. I think they just want you to prove to me that I really did the operation well." …well…"
Xu Ze is very clear about the means of these media, and putting together the interviews of the three of them is naturally just such an idea...
However, at this time, he was not interested in any interviews at all. What he was thinking about was the virus problem that the old professor mentioned just now... Looking at it, I'm afraid they really have such a virus, but they didn't want to conduct a detailed investigation. To identify whether it is a new virus, I just thought it was a mutation of the virus...
If it is really a new virus, it will be a bit troublesome... If it is a dangerous virus, but they don't know it in advance, then it is easy to cause big problems...(!)
