Chapter 443: Pig-Cat Syndrome

Dr. Michal enjoyed his meal. His stomach should be similar to that of Germans, and Northeastern cuisine is quite to his taste.

Feng Zixuan observed carefully and saw that Dr. Michal was eating meat with big mouthfuls, and there was nothing unusual about it.

After drinking a few bottles of beer, Dr. Michał occasionally looked down on the beer while fantasizing about riding a bamboo in the mountains.

There is definitely a difference between industrial beer and craft beer, and the difference is not small. Feng Zixuan doesn't like beer, but Dr. Michal can tell the difference clearly.

Especially since Germany is a major beer country, it is normal that people are not used to drinking it. Feng Zixuan did not argue with Dr. Michal about this matter.

The two of them had no idea what was going on, so Feng Zixuan just flattered her.

But Dr. Michał really can eat a lot. After Feng Zixuan turned 40, he has never been able to eat two kilograms of meat in one meal.

When Feng Zixuan went out to eat authentic hand-pulled lamb, he would only eat a few pieces. If he ate any more, he would get tired of it.

But Dr. Michał ate the big piece of pork belly and his lips were shiny, without any signs of allergy.

An hour later, Feng Zixuan saw Dr. Michal finish his meal, so he went to pay the bill and prepared to send him back to the University of Technology.

"Look, I'm fine." Dr. Michaul said with a rosy face, "I knew it was fine. Luo must have said that on purpose."

"He just doesn't want me to see the pandas! Damn it, why do the pandas only listen to him? I can't even touch the pandas in the panda house when he's not around."

"Giant pandas are actually very fierce. Bamboo is a bear, not a cat." Feng Zixuan found a video that Luo Hao sent him and handed the phone to Dr. Michal.

In the video, a passerby driving a car spotted a wild giant panda and got out of the car to pet the panda.

With the rise of short videos, more and more videos about giant pandas have appeared.

For tourists, being able to see wild giant pandas is like a pie in the sky.

The person filming the video was holding a mobile phone in his hand and talking excitedly. The giant panda just looked up at him in a silly and cute manner, without any hostility.

This action encouraged the person who filmed the video.

As the distance between humans and pandas shortened, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

But the next second, the giant panda stood up and the person filming the video was shrouded in a dark shadow. Then the phone shook and the screen went black. A scream was heard at the end of the video.

The ending is obvious, it's good enough to survive.

Dr. Michał curled his lips and showed disdain for this, thinking that it was not like he had never rubbed a giant panda before.

In his opinion, bamboo is very gentle and such a thing would never happen.

"Look, this is a video of Zhuzi fighting a Qinling jackal in the Qinling Mountains. It's short, but representative." Feng Zixuan took out another short video and handed it to Dr. Michal.

In the video, Zhuzi no longer had the gentleness and cuteness he had in front of Luo Hao. He was holding a bamboo pole, baring his fangs, with a ferocious look on his face.

Bamboo gets on all fours and lies prone on the ground, intermittently half-standing, swinging its bamboo pole to attack.

Each blow was as powerful as thunder. The bamboo pole hit the waist of the Qinling jackal. The jackal's body seemed to be bent into strange shapes by an invisible big hand. It looked chilling.

After taking note, the resilient bamboo pole broke.

Some Qinling jackals thought this was a good opportunity and surrounded the enemy.

They rushed forward, apparently wanting to use this opportunity to kill the enemy directly.

But what the Qinling jackal didn't expect was that Zhuzhu would drop the bamboo pole, jump up, and use his sharp teeth and claws to tear and bite, and the speed of exterminating the Qinling jackal was faster than using a bamboo pole.

The video is only a dozen seconds long, and the twelve Qinling jackals were killed by bamboo. From beginning to end, only the screams of the Qinling jackals can be heard.

Dr. Michal shuddered at the sight. He had not expected that the gentle and lovely bamboo would have such a side.

"Let me reiterate, a panda is not a cat, but a bear. By the way, the raccoon you saw was also very fierce in a fight, but he was too small. I guess he could only beat a jackal at best. Bamboo is different. He is very large and as agile as raccoon."

Feng Zixuan hadn't said anything yet. Luo Hao had also made liquid metal armor for the giant panda's biggest weakness - the soft and thin abdominal wall.

It was just that Feng Zixuan didn't know whether liquid metal could be mentioned or not. He didn't want to deal with the relevant departments. Besides, he had never seen this thing before, so it was better not to talk about it.

Dr. Michal fell silent, staring blankly at the bloodthirsty bamboo in the video.

If you don’t see it with your own eyes, it’s hard to believe that the cute and adorable giant pandas can have such a fierce side.

Feng Zixuan smiled slightly. He could talk about bamboo for three days and three nights without finishing it.

Dr. Michal has not seen the promotional video recently recorded by Zhuzi and Boss Zhou. If he really saw it, I'm afraid Dr. Michal would dream of recording a similar promotional video with Zhuzi.

Whether it is Boss Zhou, Boss Chai, or Dr. Michal, they have all reached the highest level of Maslow's needs.

What they want is to leave their names in history.

The rest is just to pass the time.

Feng Zixuan thought to himself, the corners of his mouth raised, and he couldn't suppress it.

But after only a few seconds, Feng Zixuan heard a sound that made him shudder - Dr. Michal's breathing.

A very typical breathing sound of an asthma patient, roaring.

With every breath Dr. Michał took, the wheezing got worse, as if his airways were swelling at top speed.

It's not as if, it's the fact!

Feng Zixuan reacted immediately and looked sideways. Dr. Michal's face was blue and purple and he was having difficulty breathing.

He grabbed Dr. Michal.

Dr. Michal's strong body was as soft as paper, and fell down directly under Feng Zixuan's force.

I am!

It's over, Dr. Michal is really allergic to pork!!

Why didn't this bastard listen to Luo Hao? Feng Zixuan complained in his heart, and at the same time protected Dr. Michal to prevent him from suffering secondary injuries from falling.

Feng Zixuan then picked up his cell phone and asked the nurse to come out of the car and provide first aid.

Fortunately, I listened to Luo Hao, no matter how ridiculous it sounded, the facts once again proved that Luo Hao was right.

An injection of dexamethasone and a shot of phenergan were injected. Feng Zixuan had already called 120 emergency number and stayed by Dr. Michal's side.

A diffuse maculopapular rash began to rapidly develop on Dr. Michal's exposed skin.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen large maculopapular rashes had spread across Dr. Michal's skin.

This is the case with intravenous injection of dexamethasone and phenergan. If not, Dr. Michal might have developed severe respiratory spasm and it is not certain whether he could survive this.

Feng Zixuan broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, I listened to Luo Hao and made preparations in advance, and the preparations were relatively sufficient.

At least it will give Dr. Michał a chance to live until the ambulance arrives.

After solving the urgent problem, Feng Zixuan called Luo Hao and "reported" the situation.

Soon, the 120 ambulance arrived. Feng Zixuan had already communicated with the director of the medical department of the hospital to which the 120 ambulance belonged, and then went straight to the First Hospital of Medical University.

In the emergency room, Luo Hao was already waiting for Dr. Michal.

The moment he saw Luo Hao, Feng Zixuan's heart settled down.

For the first time, he deeply understood the extent of his understanding of Luo Hao.

Luo Hao didn't waste any time and immediately began to direct the rescue.

It was just an allergy, and the medication he took along the way helped Dr. Michal see some improvement.

There was no need to even go to the ICU or eicu. After the treatment, Dr. Michal only kept me in the emergency room for observation.

The treatment was quite simple, in stark contrast to the emergency situation Dr. Michal was in at the time.

Allergies come and go quickly.

Luo Hao performed acupuncture on the allergic points and conducted serum-specific IgE testing step by step in an orderly manner.

After everything was done, Feng Zixuan pulled Luo Hao aside and asked, "Xiao Luo, what happened? Dr. Michal was fine one second, but he was gone the next. If you hadn't reminded me, I think he would have been dead by now."

Luo Hao smiled and said, "Director Feng, don't worry. Wait until the test results come back and I'll explain it to Dr. Michaul."

Although Feng Zixuan was curious, he couldn't urge Luo Hao, so he could only urge the laboratory to complete the serum-specific test as soon as possible.

A few hours later, Dr. Michal had completely recovered to normal, and there was no sign that he had been on the verge of death just a few minutes ago.

After getting the test results, Luo Hao called Dr. Michal and Feng Zixuan to the interventional doctor's office.

Dr. Michał is fine now and just needs to stay for 1-2 days for observation.

But he was still frightened, his face full of fear and astonishment, and he was afraid of this "unexplained" allergy.

Everything seemed to be performed according to a script that had been prepared long ago, without any mistakes.

Luo Hao is the screenwriter and director of the script, as well as the executive producer.

After entering the doctor's office, Luo Hao snapped his fingers, Erhei stood up, "looked" at Luo Hao, and walked towards him with a step that didn't recognize anyone.

Erhei, who cosplays as Bamboo, looks more friendly, unlike the previous mechanical dog that made people feel inexplicably scared.

There was a backpack on the back of the newly modified Erhei. Luo Hao opened the backpack and took out a marker.

"The rapid test for allergens has yielded results."

As he spoke, Luo Hao took a marker and fluently wrote a bunch of data on the blackboard.

Commercially available raw pork, pork sausage, and cat hair allergen extracts were positive for prick tests.

Positive histamine control (10 mg/ml).

The reaction was read at 15 minutes and compared with that of a positive histamine control, 10 mg/mL: 1+, 25% of the wheal area induced by the positive histamine control; 2+, 50%; 3+, 100%; 4+, 200%.

All the data seemed to be in Luo Hao's memory, without any confusion, and written on the blackboard clearly and distinctly.

Feng Zixuan was silent, looking at the data written down by Luo Hao. But Dr. Michal was a little puzzled, "Luo, I used to eat pork too."

"No, your case is a special one." Luo Hao smiled. "To be honest, I have never met a similar patient. I have only seen a rare disease in the literature - Pork-cat Syndrome."

"Pork-cat Syndrome?" Dr. Michal repeated in a daze.

The name is so sloppy and sounds so unserious, it doesn't sound like a medical term at all.

In English, professional vocabulary is a firewall that separates ordinary people from professionals. If you want to understand it in depth, it will take some time to learn just the words.

But the English name of the disease, Pig-Cat Syndrome, is so simple that it’s a bit sloppy.

"Of course, in English, which is a shithole language, you may be used to the practice of having a new word for each new disease. But Pork-cat Syndrome is different. It's a simple stacking, and it's OK as long as you can understand it."

“Language is just a communication tool and should not be a barrier to the industry.”

Luo Hao simply made a sarcastic remark and continued explaining.

"Pig-cat syndrome was first reported in 1994. In short, it is a strange disease in which patients are allergic to cats but eventually become allergic to pork. It is more common in Europe and other countries, and less common in Asia."

"The saying that a piece of five-nut mooncake can be sold from the east coast to the west coast of the United States has a theoretical basis."

Feng Zixuan smiled. Luo Hao's unintentional sarcasm became more and more sharp, but Feng Zixuan had gradually gotten used to it.

Moreover, Luo Hao said that this is a rare disease that is easily contracted by foreigners, so it is normal that he has never seen it.

It is true that foreigners all have allergic constitutions.

"The general principle is that there is antigenic similarity between cat serum albumin and porcine serum albumin. When patients are allergic to cat serum albumin, they produce immunoglobulin E, which we usually call IgE.

Due to the cross-reactivity between these two proteins, ingestion of pork can also induce an allergic reaction.”

"The usual characteristic manifestations are generalized urticaria, angioedema, dyspnea, and anaphylactic shock. For this disease, blood tests for pork albumin and feline albumin-specific IgE levels can help with diagnosis."

"That's right." Dr. Michał muttered to himself, "Luo, how should I treat it?"

"I'm sorry to tell you, Dr. Michał, but if patients avoid contact with cats in their daily lives, the cat dander-specific IgE level will gradually decrease, and pork can be safely consumed again."

"Does that mean I can only choose between cat and pork from now on?" Dr. Michal asked painfully.

"Yes." Luo Hao nodded, "I told you before, Dr. Michał."

"Besides." Luo Hao paused, "I just conducted an immunoblot inhibition test on you.

In in vitro experiments, when your serum was pre-incubated with a series of extracts from domestic cat hair and epithelium, the results showed that the extracts from domestic cat hair and epithelium inhibited the reaction of IgE in patient serum with water-soluble beef protein, water-soluble pork protein and extracts from domestic cat hair and epithelium in a dose-dependent manner. "

"In short, the above statement is that your diagnosis of pig-cat syndrome is correct."

"But I didn't have an attack right away. According to normal allergy theory, shouldn't I have an attack upon contact?" Dr. Michal still wasn't convinced.

"The reason may be that after eating pork, the digestion and absorption of pork by the gastrointestinal tract is a continuous process. Only when the absorbed allergens reach a certain threshold will an allergic reaction occur."

"So, Dr. Michał, you will have to make a choice in the future." Luo Hao said regretfully, "Cat or pig, it's time to make a choice."

Dr. Michał was in agony, and the muscles in his face were twitching.

After Luo Hao’s explanation, Dr. Michal was convinced that he did have the “strange disease” that he could not understand – pig-cat syndrome.

Damn it, how could there be a strange disease that conflicts with raising cats and eating pork!

"Don't worry. You shouldn't be exposed to allergens while you're in the hospital, and your allergy symptoms are under control now. You can think about it carefully."

"but."

Luo Hao knocked on the blackboard and highlighted the key points.

"Like I said before, Dr. Michał, you don't believe it, so it's better to try to avoid such things." Luo Hao said calmly, "This time, thanks to Director Feng's timely treatment, you escaped the disaster. Next time, you may not be so lucky."

"You know, cats only have nine lives, and pigs only have one life. If it's gone, it's really gone."

Dr. Michał nodded dejectedly, and it seemed that he was still trying to make a difficult choice between pork and cat petting.

After sending this person away, Feng Zixuan looked at Luo Hao deeply.

The matter was indeed difficult to understand, but Feng Zixuan was more concerned about why Luo Hao could make an accurate diagnosis.

"Xiao Luo, didn't they say that we rarely have allergies? There should be no similar medical records in your Union Hospital medical records database." Feng Zixuan asked.

Luo Hao smiled and said, "I was just kidding him."

"What?!" Feng Zixuan was stunned.

Luo Hao actually lied to Dr. Michal about such a serious matter?
This is not the Luo Hao that Feng Zixuan knows.

Could it be that Dr. Michal had always looked askance at Luo Hao? Feng Zixuan concentrated, his mind racing.

Professor Xiao Luo's behavior in this matter was a bit strange.

"One of the characteristics of pig-cat syndrome is that it develops over time, and most of the existing reports are of cats that developed allergic symptoms after eating pork for many years.

Most of the cat owners in China are young people.

In clinical practice, when we encounter patients who are allergic to cat hair, or even suffer from diseases such as ringworm, we usually choose to seek medical treatment directly.

If the symptoms are severe and allergen screening shows cat dander allergy, the patient will generally choose to give up keeping cats and is unlikely to be allergic to cat dander for a long time. "

Luo Hao didn't care what Feng Zixuan was thinking, and explained directly.

"In addition, pork consumption is not as frequent abroad as in China, and pork is often smoked, making it easier to locate during inspections.

In China, many people are unaware of their food allergies. Even if patients have new allergy symptoms, they may be ignored and eventually attributed to their own problems.

"..."

Feng Zixuan was speechless.

A while ago, a meme became popular on the Internet, saying that any uncomfortable condition is actually an allergy, but Chinese people are resistant and refuse to accept it, so the body adapts to it and the condition is engraved in the genes and passed down from generation to generation.

Luo Hao actually said that? He actually believed such a ridiculous explanation?
"Director Feng, there's no need to think too much about this. There aren't many similar situations around us." Luo Hao smiled and tapped the blackboard.

Shashasha~~~
There was a rustling sound, and the robot panda cosplaying as Bamboo suddenly stood up.

The things in the backpack on my back fell to the ground with a clatter.

Luo Hao covered his face...

I forgot, this function is newly developed and I am using it for the first time.

I was planning to show off in front of Feng Zixuan, but I forgot to zip up my backpack, which resulted in a misunderstanding. It would be better not to use it.

Feng Zixuan did not focus on the small bits and pieces scattered on the ground, but focused on watching Erhei "transform" and began to wipe the blackboard.

Evolving from its initial clumsy robot dog form, Erhei now possesses certain robotic functions.

What about after that?

Feng Zixuan stared blankly, thinking of countless things in his mind. It seemed that it only took a few months for the dull robot dog to transform into the clever Erhei.

This evolution is too fast, similar to the theory of technological explosion. There are new technological breakthroughs almost every day recently, and Feng Zixuan has even become numb.

It’s just that Erhei evolved right before his eyes, which shocked Feng Zixuan.

Meng Liangren stepped forward, squatted down and packed his things.

"I'm sorry." Luo Hao apologized, covering the back of his head.

"It's the first time to use it, you can use it again. Brother, besides wiping the blackboard, what else can Erhei do?" Zhuang Yan asked.

"There are still many things that can be done, but they are all under development and cannot be used now." Luo Hao explained, "But I have already raised my opinions with Yunshenshen, and they should be able to come up with the latest modified products soon."

“It’s not a product, it’s an upgraded Erhei!!” Zhuang Yan emphasized.

"Yes, yes, it's the upgraded Erhei."

Luo Hao saw Zhuang Yan and Meng Liangren putting the scattered things into Erhei's backpack, smiled slightly, sat down and chatted with Feng Zixuan.

Suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar ding-dong sound came to my ears.

The long-term main task has been completed!
Luo Hao was stunned. It was finally completed. The Qingqian review finally came out with the result after a delay of 3 or 4 months.

Qing Qian and Luo Hao have nothing to do with each other, but the system has been waiting for Qing Qian to finish the review and give the reward.

Luo Hao quickly glanced at the settlement rewards and was surprised to find that in addition to the previous rewards, there were an additional 120 system mall currencies.

Now Luo Hao already has 130 currencies, so he can seriously study the system mall.

Luo Hao had seen it before, but there was no way to obtain the currency, and he couldn't cash it out.

Luo Hao was somewhat delighted at his sudden wealth.

Feng Zixuan realized something was wrong. He looked at Luo Hao and asked in confusion, "Xiao Luo? Are you happy about something?"

"No." Luo Hao smiled happily, "I just thought about how Dr. Michal drank with Director Li early in the morning. Director Feng, what do you think Dr. Michal will choose?"

"I think he'll choose to pet the cat."

"I thought so too." Luo Hao smiled. "If you can't eat pork, you can eat beef. It's rare to see a cat as interesting as the director of the Rat Eradication Office in the Food Street."

A large number of adjectives elevated Director Li to a certain level. Zhuang Yan was curious and asked for a long time.

After Luo Hao finished speaking, Zhuang Yan said that she would go to see Director Li early tomorrow morning.

Luo Hao didn't care about this. After sending Feng Zixuan away, Luo Hao went to Haodong to have dinner with Danizi and spend some time alone together.

Sitting on bus 307, Luo Hao finally had his own independent space.

He opened the system panel and looked at it carefully.

With 130 points of mall currency, he could buy some things, and a smile appeared on Luo Hao's face.

Clicking on the mall, Luo Hao began to study what he could purchase.
