Chapter 218 The Origin of Vampires

The woman in the black headscarf just left.

Although her walking posture was very frail and frail, she still walked forward without looking back.

On the side, the young man who just called 120 saw this and quickly called 120 again to cancel the ambulance.

"This man... is so strange." Ke Yue raised his eyebrows.

"She is sick." Zhou Wei said.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Ke Yue glanced at Zhou Wei. She looked at Lu Chen who was silent and asked doubtfully, "Lu Chen, what do you think?"

Lu Chen looked at the woman's leaving figure and said, "I vaguely remember seeing a similar case, but I can't remember it at the moment."

"Is there really such a disease as vampires?" Zhou Wei asked in surprise.

Lu Chen nodded, "It's not a vampire, but it should be similar to a vampire. I haven't figured out what it is yet. Go back and check, maybe you can find it."

"Just by looking at the patient, can you find out what's wrong with her?" Ke Yue whispered.

Lu Chen paused, stopped, and said slowly: "Have you ever noticed that this patient's symptoms are actually very typical."

"The paleness on her face is definitely caused by anemia. And her teeth and scars are all characteristic. I suspect they are caused by some kind of toxin."

"Well, it's really strange to hear you say that." Zhou Wei nodded.

"You know how to react later." Ke Yue said with a smile.

Lu Chen and others stayed at the temple for a while, then went down the mountain to have lunch, and then took the car back to the hospital.

Return to the dormitory.

Lu Chen recalled the patients he met in the morning, then turned on his computer and searched for relevant literature.

Search for diseases based on specific symptoms.

In the afternoon, Gu Xinyue sent Lu Chen a WeChat message.

"It's done, take a look."

The information is very concise and in line with Gu Xinyue's style of doing things.

Lu Chen clicked on the app.

The style of pp has changed from the previous black and white to a beautiful and dynamic mode.

"Lao Gu, I really belong to you!" Lu Chen said.

Gu Xinyue said: "You're welcome, just remember breakfast for a month."

"No problem." Lu Chen thanked him.

Gu Xinyue is still very reliable. After his hard work, this app is still very beautiful.

This time, Lu Chen did not hesitate and forwarded the pp directly to Li Yao.

Teacher Li Yao will continue to provide opinions to pp. After revising again and confirming that they are correct, Lu Chen can give a speech at the conference.

After forwarding the pp to Li Yao, Lu Chen continued to search for literature about "vampires".

Finding literature is a technical job!

The most important thing is that most of the domestic literature in China are fake articles, or fake articles for promotion of professional titles, and have no scientific research value at all.

If you want to find useful literature information, you can only go to foreign language literature websites!

After all, it was not his mother tongue. Although Lu Chen had a literature reading skills book, he was definitely still not as good as Chinese literature when reading foreign literature.

"Hey, when will China have its own top-notch journals and magazines?"

Lu Chen thought to himself while checking the literature.

If you master the top magazines, you will have the right to speak in scientific research!

The relationship between academic circles and academic circles is very deep.

When it comes to publishing papers in top journals, apart from the quality of the article content, the most important thing is whether it is relevant...

I checked for most of the day.

Lu Chen finally checked a foreign literature.

The patient's symptoms partially overlapped with those of the woman he met in the morning.

"The patient is addicted to drinking blood, is afraid of the sun, has sharp teeth, is pale,..."

This is exactly like a "vampire"!

When Lu Chen turned her attention to the diagnosis of the case, she was stunned.

Porphyria?

Porphyria is caused by a lack of enzyme activity in the heme biosynthetic pathway, which causes an abnormal increase in the concentration of porphyrins or their precursors, such as amino-levulinic acid and porphyrin, and accumulates in tissues, causing cell damage. A type of disease caused by.

Lu Chen had only heard the name of this disease once or twice.

As for porphyria, he had no idea what it was or what its symptoms were.

Lu Chen continued to read the explanations of porphyria in the literature.

Porphyrins are photosensitive pigments that accumulate on human skin, bones and teeth.

Most porphyrins are benign in the dark and do no harm to the body, but once exposed to sunlight, they transform into dangerous toxins that devour human muscles and tissues.

Therefore, porphyria patients, like the legendary vampires, can only live in a dark world and cannot see the light.

For most patients with porphyria, blood transfusions and heme can effectively relieve symptoms and are still the mainstream treatments.

A metaphor is used in the article.

Ancient porphyria sufferers could suck or drink blood to make themselves feel better, which is likely the origin of vampire stories.

In most vampire legends, garlic, like the cross, is portrayed as the nemesis of vampires.

"Why do you still hate garlic?"

Lu Chen continued to look down.

People with porphyria also have a deep aversion to garlic. The simple reason is that certain chemicals in garlic can worsen their condition, causing pain and other symptoms.

"Looking at it this way, the patient's pale complexion can be explained." Lu Chen thought to himself.

The vast majority of people with porphyria are severely anemic, not least because they often live in darkness.

More importantly, the porphyrins in their bodies will affect the hematopoietic function and destroy the production of heme.

Typically, people with porphyria also have large areas of pigmentation on their bodies that are often purple. UU reading www. uukanshu.net

At this time, Lu Chen thought of the patient's fangs and the scars on his facial skin.

Unexpectedly, there is an explanation of dentures and scars later in this article.

Porphyrins, when exposed to sunlight, convert into toxins that can eat away at muscle and tissue. One of its main manifestations is that it corrodes the lips and gums of patients, exposing them to sharp, wolf-like teeth.

Rotten gums always look bloody, inevitably reminding people of blood-sucking vampires.

In addition, due to the toxin, the ears and noses of patients with porphyria will be corroded by it, and their skin will be covered with scars, making them look particularly old.

Read the full article.

Lu Chen felt enlightened.

This document from the United States carefully records all the symptoms, signs, and even diagnostic methods of porphyria.

It seems that the patient has a high probability of porphyria!

"Congratulations, system upgrade completion level 1!"

Can this increase system upgrade completion?

Lu Chen was quite surprised. He must have guessed that the woman's diagnosis in the morning was porphyria, and the system gave a completion score!

While Lu Chen was happy, he kept sighing in his heart.

He found many Chinese documents, but few recorded porphyria in such detail!

China has a large population base and there must be many patients, but no similar basis can be found in the literature.

On the contrary, in foreign language documents, detailed documents can be found.

"Sigh." Lu Chen shook his head, feeling a little disappointed.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly wanted to meet the woman in the black headscarf again and tell her his reasoning and diagnosis.

This woman must have sought medical treatment many times. Finally, she had no choice but to come to the hospital to pray for blessings.
