The operating room sprang up from the ground, and Zheng Ren dove straight into it.

Translation: The operating room rose up from the ground, and Zheng Ren directly dove into it.

But "rose up from the ground" means "rose up from the ground". Could be "The operating room sprang up from the ground". Keep meaning. "Zheng Ren directly dove into it". Good.

During the interventional procedure, Qin Lu's experimental subject lay honestly still on the operating table, motionless.

Translation: For the interventional surgery, Qin Lu's experimental subject lay honestly still on the operating table, not moving a muscle.

But "experimental subject" maybe "experimental subject". Keep. "honestly" -> honestly. "motionless" -> motionless. Good.

Zheng Ren didn't do any dissection or the like; instead, he stood to the subject's right side, directly began disinfecting, laying drapes, and preparing for surgery.

He felt that it should be a problem with insulin secretion status, which caused Qin Lu to exhibit muddled, talkative symptoms.

Translation: He felt it should be a problem with insulin secretion state, causing Qin Lu to show muddled, delirious symptoms.

"muddled and talkative" maybe "muddled and talkative"? We'll keep as "muddled, delirious". Good.

The doctors at He Yang treated according to symptoms, inadvertently intensifying the disease's outbreak severity.

Translation: The doctors at Harmony Nurture treated according to symptoms, inadvertently aggravating the intensity of this disease's onset.

The puncture, guidewire and catheter went in smoothly.

How can I convince the Qin family and the He Yang doctors to perform surgery on Old Master Qin?

Translation: How can I convince the Qin family people and the Harmony Nurture doctors to perform surgery on Qin Old Master?

Diagnostic therapy?

This reason Su Yun would agree to, but looking at the He Yang doctors' attitude of despising public hospitals, feasibility is not great.

Translation: Su Yun would agree with this reason, but the Harmony Nurture doctors… looking at their attitude of despising public hospitals, feasibility is not great.

This is one point; mainly, Zheng Ren is also not sure whether pancreatic lesion causes the drowsiness plus hallucinations.

Translation: This is one; mainly, Zheng Ren also isn't sure whether pancreatic lesion causes the sleepiness + hallucinations.

Although Zheng Ren found many literature materials on melatonin from over a decade ago.

Translation: Although Zheng Ren found many literature materials about melatonin from over a decade ago.

At that time, melatonin was still a health supplement; people took large oral doses seeking youth and vitality. Among them, some patients exhibited similar delirium symptoms.

Qin Lu's symptoms are likely caused by melatonin deposition.

Translation: Qin Lu's symptoms are likely caused by melatonin deposition.

Regarding this situation, no doctor has proposed a theory accepted by the public. Perhaps that's why Big Pig's Trotter didn't give a diagnosis.

Translation: Regarding this situation, no doctor has proposed a theory accepted by the world. Perhaps that's why Big Pig Trotter didn't give a diagnosis?

Zheng Ren felt uneasy.

Translation: Zheng Ren felt uneasy in his heart.

The surgery was completely successful, but only at one pancreatic supplying vessel stenosis. If Big Pig's Trotter is playing me, a 100% surgical success would mean the vessel is opened……

Translation: The surgery was completely successful, but only for one pancreatic feeding vessel stenosis. If Big Pig Trotter is playing me, a 100% surgery success would mean the vessel is opened……

If we perform a forceful surgery and Old Master Qin still has the same symptoms afterward… aside from losing face, the Qin family would have no way to explain it.

Translation: If we force surgery and after the operation Qin Old Master still has the same symptoms…… aside from losing face, the Qin family side also couldn't explain it.

To prove abnormal insulin secretion and massive melatonin production leading eventually to patient coma, delirium, etc., we need evidence, at least something that could convince ourselves.

Translation: To prove abnormal insulin secretion, massive melatonin production, until the patient finally shows coma, delirium etc., we need evidence, at least something that can convince ourselves.

……

Translation: ……

"Su Yun, connect with Dr. Olson. Qin Tang, get the communication equipment ready; I need to contact Sweden." Zheng Ren spoke like a director, issuing orders in an unquestionable tone.

Translation: "Su Yun, connect Doctor Olsson. Qin Tang, timely communication equipment, I need to contact Sweden." Zheng Ren spoke like a director, issuing orders in an unquestionable tone.

"Okay!" Su Yun confirmed her guess from Zheng Ren's words; although she still didn't know the condition, she agreed without hesitation.

Translation: "Okay!" Su Yun confirmed her guess from Zheng Ren's words; although she still didn't know the condition, she answered without hesitation.

At 1 a. m. in Xianggang, it seemed like morning in Sweden. Su Yun didn't care about the time, picked up her phone, and called Dr. Olson.

Translation: At 1 a. m. in Xianggang, it seemed like morning in Sweden. Su Yun also didn't care about the time, picked up her phone, and dialed Doctor Olsson's number.

"Damn, I just slept a few hours, and the sleeping medication is still in my body……" Dr. Olson's nagging and complaining voice came through.

Translation: "Damn it, I just slept a few hours, sleeping medication is in my body……" Doctor Olsson's nagging, complaining voice came through.

"Doctor, Dr. Zheng requests to speak with you." Su Yun directly interrupted Dr. Olson's chatter and got straight to the point.

Translation: "Doctor, Doctor Zheng requests to speak with you." Su Yun directly interrupted Doctor Olsson's chatter, getting straight to the point.

"If there's nothing…… Dr. Zheng? Does he have a new discovery?!" Dr. Olson instantly became alert.

Translation: "If there's nothing…… Doctor Zheng? Does he have a new discovery?!" Doctor Olsson instantly woke up.

"Tell him, ten minutes……" Zheng Ren said, then glanced at Qin Tang, "Ten minutes, enough time to prepare?"

Translation: "Tell him, ten minutes……" Zheng Ren said, then glanced at Qin Tang, "Ten minutes, enough time to prepare?"

"Video call? Anytime is fine."

"Something more professional, otherwise it would be troublesome."

Translation: "Something more professional, otherwise it'll be troublesome."

"Okay." Qin Tang responded firmly.

"Tell Dr. Olson that in ten minutes he should prepare; on my side I have a special case that needs a physical model for reconstruction." Zheng Ren said.

Translation: "Tell Doctor Olsson, in ten minutes, have him ready; on my side I have a special case needing a physical model for reconstruction." Zheng Ren said.

Su Yun conveyed Zheng Ren's words to Dr. Olson, then hung up the phone.

Translation: This time there was no respiratory or cardiac arrest, saving some trouble; Zheng Ren comforted himself.

"Boss, do you have an idea?" Su Yun asked.

Translation: "Boss, any ideas?" Su Yun asked.

"Hmm, coma and agitation, consider that abnormal insulin secretion from the islets may be related." Zheng Ren said.

Translation: "Hmm, coma and agitation, consider that abnormal insulin secretion from the islets is related." Zheng Ren said.

Qin Tang was dumbfounded.

Translation: Qin Tang was dumbfounded hearing that.

His mind was fuzzy, delirium and hallucinations—how could that be related to insulin?

Translation: "Fuzzy mind, delirium, hallucinations—how could that be related to insulin?"

"Boss Zheng, are you serious?" Qin Tang asked doubtfully.

Translation: "Boss Zheng, are you serious?" Qin Tang asked doubtfully.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren nodded and said: "From an imaging perspective, I have considered it; I need Dr. Olson's physical model to give a definitive answer."

Translation: "Hmm." Zheng Ren nodded, saying: "From an imaging perspective, I've considered it; I need Doctor Olsson's physical model to give a definite answer."

"……" Qin Tang stared for a moment.

Zheng Ren fell silent for a few seconds, then said: "Do you get sleepy after eating full, and hungry after waking up?"

Translation: Zheng Ren fell silent for a few seconds, then said: "You get sleepy after eating full, and hungry after waking up?"

Qin Tang was slightly angry.

Translation: Qin Tang was slightly angry.

Are you saying I'm a wine sack and rice bag? Pointing at my nose to insult me, yet without using any dirty words, that doesn't prove anything!

Zheng Lao Ban is a bit over the top.

"Boss, you mean considering abnormal insulin secretion, a sudden fluctuation causing large amounts of tryptophan to pass the blood-brain barrier, synthesizing 5-hydroxytryptamine and melatonin?" Su Yun asked.

Zheng Ren nodded.

Qin Tang looked bewildered, the old steward's face was as still as water.

"That's right, insulin is secreted by the pancreas; it helps cells take up glucose from the blood, thereby lowering blood glucose concentration." Zheng Ren explained while walking.

Not for Qin Tang to understand; this is his thought process.

Earlier it was just a flash of inspiration, and also the completion degree of the Big Pig Trotter's surgery. Although there were still doubts, Zheng Ren was 80% sure his idea was correct.

As for the specific logic, because I thought too fast, I directly skipped the intermediate process; now I have to sort it out from the beginning.

Thinking too fast isn't a good thing either; Zheng Ren faces this trouble.

"When we eat a meal rich in carbohydrates, it triggers the pancreas to secrete a large amount of insulin. While these insulins help cells take up blood sugar, they also promote the synthesis of fat and protein."

"But my grandfather hasn't eaten for a long time." Qin Tang wondered.

"It's unrelated to eating; we'll explain this later." Zheng Ren said: "Large amounts of valine and leucine are taken up by skeletal muscles for protein synthesis, while the blood retains more tryptophan."

Because of this physiological change, the proportion of tryptophan in the blood increased.

Tryptophan can easily cross the blood-brain barrier into the brain, where it is ultimately used to synthesize serotonin, that is 5-hydroxytryptamine and melatonin.

Qin Tang looked bewildered.

"Melatonin is the culprit that makes you sleepy after a full meal. It has nothing to do with blood lipids. Because melatonin accumulates in large amounts, causing drowsiness, this is a very reasonable explanation." Zheng Ren said with a smile.

"But my grandfather is agitated and even talking nonsense." Qin Tang thought, melatonin and delirium probably aren't related.
