  Chapter 465 Unexpected First Discovery

  Professor Kerry was in awe when he heard that Chen Qi was not only a double director of the International Medical Association, but also aiding medical treatment in Africa.

"He is such a remarkable young man. Not only has he achieved very high professional achievements at such a young age, but he also has an international medical spirit and serves the poor African people. It's great. Come, let's get to know each other formally. My name is Kerry Siefer."

  Chen Qi also laughed when he heard this, knowing that Bai Zuo in Meiguo has the heart of the Virgin very much.

  Many doctors will voluntarily go to Africa for free medical services, and even many celebrities, whether they are sincere or not, like to go to Africa to engage in charity activities as a show.

   Sure enough, playing the African card quickly made the goodwill of the unlucky old lady soar, and also laid a good foundation for the subsequent identification of parasites.

   "Chen Qi, I'm from Huaguo, and it's a great honor to have your help again."

  The two sides sat down, and Professor Carey couldn't wait to ask:

   "Chen, do you have any problems coming from Africa? I will definitely help you with all my strength."

   "Professor Kerry, it's like this. I have a parasite that has never been found before. It should be a nematode parasite. I need your help to identify it."

   After finishing speaking, Chen Qi opened the box he carried with him, revealing 10 bottles of parasites soaked in antiseptic solution.

  As soon as Professor Carey saw the white thread-like parasite, he immediately entered the working state, took the magnifying glass from the assistant, and began to examine it carefully.

   Chen Qi introduced:

   "Professor, this is a parasite we found on the local aborigines in Sierra Lean, Central Africa, and through the investigation of infectious diseases, we have determined that there are larvae and eggs in the local water source."

  Professor Kerry took a magnifying glass and looked at the parasites in the bottle one by one, muttering to himself:

"The body is slender and cylindrical, with a thicker layer of cuticle on the body surface, the epithelium protrudes inwards to form longitudinal ridges, the sides are lateral lines, the back and ventral sides are dorsal and ventral lines, and there is a wide cavity in the body, which is Nematodes…

  You found it in central Africa. With such a long body, I can see denser fine rings. That should be Guinea worm, which is a kind of nematode unique to Africa. There is no mistake. "

  Chen Qi smiled: "Professor Kerry, what is the longest Guinea worm that you know?"

  Kerry recalled it carefully, and flipped through a book on the shelf uncertainly, before replying:

   "Yes, that's it. Generally, they are within 1 meter, and the longest will not exceed 120cm. I have never seen Guinea worm longer than this."

  Chen Qi pointed to the labels under these bottles and said:

   "Professor Kerry, but you see, the length of these parasites I brought is all over 2 meters, and the longest one is 2.8 meters long."

  Kerry was taken aback when he heard that, "How is this possible? My book is the latest edition of "Parasitology", an absolutely authoritative textbook."

  Some researchers in the nearby laboratory also gathered around to watch the excitement, and there was a lot of discussion in the room for a while.

  Chen Qi shrugged and said: "So, because the length is wrong, we need an international parasite expert like you to help identify it."

   After Professor Kerry was surprised, he immediately became interested:

   "Chen, can I take out these bugs for research?"

   "Yes, there are still many such specimens in our African base, you can do whatever you want."

   "Okay, give me some time, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, maybe you have discovered a new species, Jerry, Li Subaru, you should prepare the electron microscope immediately, we are here to live."

  The old lady ran to slice the bugs in a hurry.

  Professor Dewey patted Chen Qi on the shoulder:

   "Let's go, their research won't produce any results at once. I'll take you around the Mayo Clinic. I said, Chen, do you really want to work at the Mayo Clinic?"

  Chen Qi looked out the window and could see the entire Mayo campus, and said to himself:

"Think about it. In my previous life, I was crazy about it. Let alone work, even if I was an intern, I would be so excited that I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights. But in this life, I am not willing to be just a wage earner. Maybe One day, I myself will start a hospital as great as the Mayo Clinic in my home country."

  Professor Dewey suddenly realized: "No wonder you refused to study in the field of plastic surgery. It turns out that you have aimed at doing major surgery from the very beginning, and you want to be a BOSS yourself."

  Chen Qi rubbed his nose: "Professor, you don't blame me, you think that since I was elected as the director of ICPF, I haven't been doing plastic surgery well."

   "Why are you to blame?"

  Professor Dewey pointed to a building in the distance and said:

   "You know what? When I just graduated, my dream was to become a neurosurgeon, but fate played a big trick on me, and I was eventually assigned to plastic surgery. So, who didn't have a dream when they were young?

Chen, your foundation is much better now than I was back then. At least you have a way out. You really didn’t become a major surgeon, or you didn’t become a big boss. At least you still have plastic surgery and hand surgery to work in. So, Go ahead, I support you. "

  Chen Qi turned around, bowed heavily to Professor Dewey, and said sincerely:

   "Thank you, Mr. Professor, you have helped me too much and tolerated me too much. Don't worry, I will not give up plastic surgery. One day, I will definitely carry forward plastic surgery."

  Professor Dewey laughed loudly: "Okay, I believe you, and I am waiting for this day."

  Professor Dewey doesn't know the world development in the next few decades, but Chen Qi knows that the world will develop greatly in the future, conditions will get better and better, and there will be more and more rich women.

  When the time comes, skin lifts and wrinkle removal, skin rejuvenation with photons, face-lifting injections, double eyelid cuts and a high nose drop, making grandma bigger and fat pumping are all basic operations.

   Even changing face like Bangziguo, transgender like Thailand, that is the ultimate plastic surgery.

  Some people don’t hesitate to invest a lot of money in pursuit of a perfect appearance, so plastic surgery can make money as quickly as a money printing machine. How can Chen Qi be willing to give up?

  If he wants to open a private hospital, this kind of cash cow must be vigorously developed, and it is best to become a world plastic surgery center, then it will be called a wealth of money.

  When Chen Qi and Dewey were strolling through the Mayo Clinic, in the laboratory, the parasite team led by Professor Carey was also racing against time for research.

   Late Night, Mayo Clinic Center for Parasite Research.

   The parasites brought by Chen Qi have been cut into sections. Five or six electron microscopes started to observe the microstructure of the insects at the same time, and a large group of students were hard at work looking through the materials.

  Professor Carey was sitting in front of the desk, flipping through the materials, and shouted to the students in the distance:

   "Find all the books on guinea worm in the library, oh no, wait, find all the materials on worms."

   "There are a few of you, compared with Guinea worm, what are the latest discoveries of these nematodes?"

  Several students raised their hands and said:

"Professor, I found that this unknown nematode has 8 longitudinal lines on the outside of its body, 2 lines on the back line, 2 lines on the ventral line, and 4 lines on the lateral lines on both sides. Dena worm has only 4 longitudinal lines in total."

"Professor, I also found here that these nematodes are all hermaphrodites, because I observed that the end to the reproductive hole is double-tubed, and the two tubes respectively have the testis, the vasculature, the reservoir and the muscular **** tube. , the ejaculatory tube is connected to the end of the digestive tract, and there is a tube that contains the ovaries, ureters, and uterus."

"I also found something different here. The pseudo-body cavity of these parasites has digestive, reproductive and nervous systems, which are relatively fully developed, but there is no respiratory and circulatory system. Moreover, the oral cavity and esophagus are stronger than all nematodes. No wonder they can grow So big."

  The students sent their observations one by one, and Professor Carey compiled all the materials together.

  The longer the time, the tighter the frown:

"No, no, this is not Guinea worm, this is a brand new nematode, my God, this is a major discovery, there is no record in the current classification of marsupials and nematodes .”

  The assistant also reminded:

"This newly discovered nematode has a longer length, a thicker diameter, a more developed digestive system, and needs more food to grow up. The previous Dr. Chen said that these nematodes were found in an emergency patient, which shows that the The danger to life and health is very serious.”

  Professor Kerry's eyes began to light up.

  For parasitology experts, identifying some known parasites is already the same as a parent's meal, which is very boring and boring.

   But now that a new species has been discovered, Kerry, her assistants, and students are immediately excited. After all, this is a good opportunity to make history with their own hands.

"No, I have to tell this doctor Chen, I have to go to the field to see where these bugs were found, how big the spread is, and how harmful they are, we don't know these things. To carry out genetic testing and comparison of these unknown nematodes, it seems that we still need to do a lot of work."

  Seeing Professor Kerry walking around the room, the assistant cautiously reminded:

   "But professor, we didn't discover this bug, and it doesn't belong to our subject, we..."

  Kerry stopped in his tracks, sat down on a chair suddenly, and murmured:

   "Yeah, this is not our topic. It's a pity. I haven't found a new parasite for more than ten years. This is a good opportunity."

  Suddenly, the old lady stood up:

"No, this subject should be handed over to us. Huaguo is too poor and backward. What kind of research do they know? I'm afraid even the papers will be approved. I'll discuss it with Dr. Chen. We can pay them a fee, and then send Take this subject."

  The assistant is obviously a bit racist, Yin Cece said:

   "Anyway, we already know that these parasites were discovered by Sierra Lean. There is no need to ask the consent of the Chinese people. We can form a research group by ourselves."

  Professor Kerry glanced at the assistant with dissatisfaction:

"Sierra Leone is a country, can you determine where these parasites were found? Like looking for a needle in a haystack, do you go to find it? Also, if the international medical community knows that we have stolen other people's research, it will be good for me. Personal integrity would be a huge disservice to Mayo Clinic's reputation, and I would never do that."

   Well, still an honest old lady, definitely better than her doctors at UCSF Medical Center.

   Good luck, good luck, Mayo Clinic also escaped a catastrophe...

  Chen Qi still doesn't know what happened in the laboratory. At this time, Dean Chen is still making big purchases in Wal-Mart.

   It’s still the old rule, what he wants to buy in bulk is all kinds of snacks and drinks, especially Coke.

  People who are close to Chen Qi know that his thermos may be made of Coke, and there is very little tea. Every year, the new tea given to him by the village head Zhang of Liandong Village, he almost gives it away.

  The second purchase is all kinds of clothing and accessories, including clothes, pants and shoes.

  The conditions in Africa are too difficult, and there are no shopping malls to buy clothes.

  The second-hand clothes that Chen Qi purchased in San Francisco will be given to African compatriots to be good people.

  Walmart’s new clothes are all given to fellow Chinese and Serbian friendship doctors as New Year’s gifts.

  At this time, Dr. Hua Guo was still wearing a Dacron shirt and loose trousers, which were airtight and uncomfortable to wear. How cool is this pure cotton short-sleeved T-shirt with a large trouser fork?

  In addition, those daily necessities and various seasonings are also indispensable.

  There are many wild animals in Africa. It seems that the supply of meat is no longer a problem, but there are too few seasonings for barbecue.

  Milky country is a big country of barbecue, all kinds of chili powder, cumin powder, barbecue sauce, pepper powder, salt and pepper, blending oil, etc., there are everything that one expects to find. Blessed are the small animals in Africa.

  Finally, Chen Qi also bought a brand new home theater, complete with TV, audio and video recorder, and bought a lot of video tapes.

  While material civilization is satisfied, spiritual civilization must not be forgotten. Otherwise, doctors in Huaguo would be useless after two years of playing poker and mahjong in the camp.

  Watching American dramas and movies, you can also learn English by the way, right?

  Anyway, this night, Wal-Mart met a big customer and bought two big truckloads of goods, and the enthusiastic manager even delivered them to the place designated by Chen Qi.

   Putting everything into the space operating room, Chen Qi whistled again, found a high-end restaurant, and prepared to have a delicious meal.

   The next day, Chen Qi was still sound asleep in the hotel when he received a call from Professor Dewey.

   "Hello?"

   "Chen, it's me. The results of the parasite you sent for inspection yesterday have been obtained. Professor Kerry wants you to come over as soon as possible. She has something to discuss with you."

  Chen Qi looked at his watch. It was only 6:30 in the morning. Are all Mayo doctors so curly? Going to work so early?

   "Okay Mr. Dewey, I'll get up right away, I hope Professor Kerry can bring me good news."
