Chapter 1885: with translation of chapter title

1818 Lead Poisoning!

Please be quiet, everyone. Zheng Ren knocked on the table again, "These two points, we cannot differentiate the patient's congenital porphyria from lead poisoning. So, let's look at the next point."

Need to ensure we keep meaning, not add. Use Zheng Ren.

Long-term lead exposure can cause increased blood pressure, toxic myocarditis, and myocardial damage, etc. Lead can increase the body's oxygen free radicals, producing lipid peroxidation damage, including the myocardial cell membrane and myocardial microsomal membrane.

It can also affect the cation transport enzyme of the myocardial microsomal membrane, causing calcium ion overload in vascular cells such as the aorta, calcium ion accumulation in myocardial cells, leading to membrane ion transport disorder, resulting in myocardial cell functional disorder.

I don't know the patient's family history, and there is no relevant literature reporting how the heart function of patients with congenital porphyria changes after a certain age. However, I believe the change in the patient's heart function has nothing to do with congenital porphyria; it looks very much like lead poisoning.

This is what Zheng Ren intends to do.

Lead poisoning, its mechanism of action is related to porphyrin metabolism. It can cause anemia, and its occurrence mechanism is closely related to the obstruction of hemoglobin synthesis and hemolysis.

Acute lead poisoning is still easy to differentiate, but the differential diagnosis between chronic lead poisoning and porphyria is not generally easy.

Only laboratory tests can clearly distinguish the difference between the two.

However, the patient has not undergone any relevant laboratory tests for lead poisoning, and Zheng Ren merely wants to plant a thorn within the Bruhl Family.

Yes!

Just a thorn.

It might be useless, but it could also cause mutual suspicion among family members.

Anyway, there's hardly any cost; it only consumes my reputation within the Bruhl Family. Facing Wo Mei'er's threats and intimidation, arrogance and conceit, Zheng Ren feels he has no reputation to speak of within the Bruhl Family.

Note: We need to translate Wo Mei'er as Wo Mei'er (pinyin). We'll output "Wo Mei'er". Also "reputation" is reputation.

This is Zheng Ren's counterattack.

For this counterattack, Zheng Ren even drank a bottle of energy potion without hesitation.

At this moment, his mind was exceptionally clear, his thoughts almost spread out flat, and in an instant he thought of countless things.

From the stomach to the kidneys, then to the heart, brain, and nervous system, Zheng Ren conducted a meticulous analysis of every suspicious point.

The most professional terminology, the most meticulous analysis, the most in-depth differential diagnosis.

Gradually, all the doctors in the room fell silent.

The condition that seemed obvious before, how did it undergo a decisive, fundamental change under the judgment of this young doctor?

At first it seemed utterly absurd, but after listening for ten minutes, aside from Doctor Lu Di still anxiously wanting to return to Lun Dun, no one spoke.

Note: We need to translate Doctor Lu Di as Doctor Lu Di. Use glossary: Doctor -> Doctor. So "Doctor Lu Di". Also "Lun Dun" is Lun Dun.

Su Yun widened his eyes looking at Zheng Ren.

Did he think that from the beginning?

Zheng Ren was so confident that even the slight hesitation at the beginning vanished, leaving only confidence.

Speaking eloquently, every word, overt or covert, pointed to lead poisoning, and certainly not to the congenital porphyria that at least ten people present had, nor to the disease recorded in those strange characters.

Although Zheng Ren was talking nonsense, in the face of his formidable theoretical knowledge, everything sounded plausible.

"……" -> "……" (keep ellipsis).

In the huge bedroom, Lao Luoqie lay half-reclined on the bed.

He stared unblinkingly at the image on the projection.

The image was so clear that Zheng Ren's every expression and every movement in the center of the projection were so firm, full of persuasiveness.

The Big Pig Trotter bestowed upon Zheng Ren his charm value, which was maximized at this moment.

Persuasion……

From the initial disdain, to later skepticism, and now, Lao Luoqie's inner defenses have collapsed.

Although his reaction is much slower than before, compared to ordinary people he is still considered quick to react.

He is the young man who, not long ago, became an exception and was made a lifelong professor at Massachusetts General Hospital? Lao Luoqie asked.

The young man beside him replied respectfully, 'Yes, sir.'

Doctor Olsson was the one who had three audiences with the king for his sake? Lao Luoqie muttered, "This young man's words are very persuasive; I almost believed them."

Note: Doctor Olsson -> Doctor Olsson (glossary). king is king (generic). We'll keep "king".

"……" The young man beside Lao Luoqie remained silent.

Whatever happened around him seemed unrelated to him. As long as he took good care of Lao Luoqie, that was all he needed to do.

"'Let's go see him.' Lao Luoqie said."

"Your body……"

"'It's fine.' Lao Luoqie smiled, 'I still have the strength to sit in a wheelchair.'"

The young man remained silent, prepared a wheelchair, laid a soft fur pad on it, dressed Lao Luoqie in a black outfit with a hood, and then lifted him onto the wheelchair.

"'Sen Di, what do you think of this young man?' Lao Luoqie asked."

"'Young, but very professional. However, I don't know why he is targeting lead poisoning; your food has undergone strict inspection, so there is no possibility of lead poisoning.' Sen Di pushed Lao Luoqie and said lightly."

"'You guess whether my appearance will frighten this young man?'"

"'Sir, yes.' Sen Di smiled, 'Your towering figure is enough to overwhelm everything; no one can speak lies under your intimidation.'"

Lao Luoqie smiled, he tried to pull the black hood tighter. His hand resembled a deformed animal's claw, constantly trembling slightly, making even a simple action difficult.

"'Sir, I'll help you.' Sen Di immediately stopped."

"'No need.' Lao Luoqie smiled warmly, the scars and blisters on his face twisted, his smile did not make him amiable, but instead became more ferocious and terrifying."

"'Sir, actually you don't need to see that young doctor.' Sen Di said, 'He might know he won't win this year's Nobel Prize and is taking crazy revenge.'"

He is a smart young man; every word he says is merely about doing differential diagnosis. But this thorn left in the heart will cause internal family strife and friction to intensify. Lao Luoqie said slowly, "It seems that since he just arrived at the ancient fortress, he doesn't know what kind of person I am; he should be given a lesson."

Note: We translated ancient fortress as "ancient fortress". Not a proper noun.

"'I'll go, that's enough.'"

"'I am still alive, this is important. Not only must I let this young doctor know, but also let all those restless troublemakers know.' Lao Luoqie finally covered his face completely with the black hood, letting no sunlight in."

Under the dark shadow, his eyes nevertheless emitted an eerie light.

Sen Di stopped urging, and silently pushed Lao Luoqie into the elevator, arriving at the room where Zheng Ren was analyzing the condition.

The doctors were whispering to each other; at this moment, even Lu Di fell silent.

Note: Lu Di -> Lu Di (no Doctor). We'll output "Rudy" as Lu Di? Actually we need to translate the name: Lu Di -> Lu Di. So "Lu Di". We'll keep as "Lu Di". Not "Doctor". So "Lu Di".

He did not believe it was lead poisoning, but every word spoken by Zheng Ren, who stood on the stage giving a lecture-like differential diagnosis, he could not refute.

And at this moment, Old Luo's wheelchair was pushed in silently, like a ghost.
