In Cai Huangong, the story of hepatitis patient "Bian Que meets Cai Huangong" is a household name. According to medical records in Bian Que, Huan Gong may be a disease closely related to skin color. As the leader of Chinese medicine, Bian Que made a correct diagnosis just by looking at it.
Hepatocellular jaundice is caused by the destruction of hepatocytes, and a large amount of bilirubin in the liver is scattered into the blood system, resulting in yellow face swelling. The most common is viral hepatitis. After careful consideration, we might as well try to restore the cause and effect of Cai Huangong's death.
Imagine that one day, Cai Huangong, who lives in Shandong, ate a fresh fish from the seaside of Qi State at a banquet. This fish has just been washed and has hepatitis A virus on it! After a full meal, the virus enters the blood with the intestine and finally settles on a fertile soil-the liver. When Bian Que saw him for the first time, he saw the ominous yellow on Huan Gong's face and said bluntly, "If you are sick, treat it." But the statement is too direct, and there is a serious lack of communication skills and interpretation patience between doctors and patients. After repeated refusals, he still didn't change his tune. The goodwill and life-threatening information he wanted to convey was not received by the other party at all, and even disgusted. During this time, Huan Gong may continue to eat and drink all night, and his damaged liver will continue to overdraw. Finally, the collapsed liver had to send out a distress signal-it hurts! This is the despair signal of the liver, and Huan Gong finally received it, but it was too late.
Cai Huangong's death tells us that we should "don't do nothing" about other people's well-meaning advice and helpful suggestions and good living habits around us. Don't be "petty" because your extremely stubborn ideas and trivial habits are harmful to your health.
Song Taizu, Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases?
Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Song Dynasty, died mysteriously in winter at the age of 49.
Zhao Kuangyin's last death should have been at night. That's about it. That night, the north wind was cold, the snow was falling, and the chill was pressing. Zhao Kuangyin was ill for a long time and his condition improved, so he decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with his powerful brother. After the meeting, the two chatted for a long time about wine. A little drunk, Zhao Kuangyin began to blame his younger brother for being politically aggressive in recent years, and seemed to covet the throne of the emperor. The more he talked, the angrier he became, and the more he drank, the more Zhao Guangyi came forward to admit his mistake and constantly defended himself. Zhao Kuangyin is very helpless. After all, he is sick, his son is weak, and his younger brother is in full swing. He doesn't want to knock the ground with a column axe and make a disturbing rumble. After venting, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt a splitting headache and drunk, so he lay down feebly. Although Zhao Guangyi's brother slept soundly, he had to get up and leave, but he had a strong feeling that something unexpected might happen tonight. When he left, he secretly winked at the attendants of the bribed emperor.
On that mysterious snowy night, what evil hand pushed Zhao Kuangyin's life off the cliff? From the perspective of modern medicine, it is likely to be a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergency. In the author's opinion, without any evidence related to heart disease, we can boldly infer that Zhao Kuangyin died of cerebral hemorrhage! What are the risk factors of cerebral hemorrhage in Zhao Kuangyin? First, he is likely to be hypertensive, obese, addicted to alcohol, and does not exercise much after middle age; Second, Zhao Kuangyin likes drinking. Long-term drinking will cause vascular contraction and relaxation regulation disorder, vascular endothelial damage, lead to lipid deposition in blood vessels, make blood vessel elasticity worse, and create conditions for cerebral hemorrhage. Third, Zhao Kuangyin is a passionate person; Fourth, on the night of Zhao Kuangyin's death, his mood was in a violent fluctuation; Fifth, severe cold is another accomplice of Zhao Kuangyin's cerebral hemorrhage.
Zhao Kuangyin's legend is over, but modern people who pay attention to health should not only feel sorry for his untimely death, but also take a warning and never take it lightly.
From the dragon in the hospital bed
20 12 March, I was busy, and I took the opportunity of attending a cardiology conference to revisit Beijing. It has been 20 years since I last set foot in this ancient capital. In the middle of the night, the biggest snow since the New Year came unexpectedly.
This is Beijing, the capital of Ming and Qing dynasties. History, like snowflakes, accumulates on this land and precipitates year after year.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Ten Emperors ruled the whole country in Beijing. Five of them died in the cold and closed their eyes forever in the melancholy of heavy snow. They are Shunzhi, Kangxi, Qianlong, Daoguang and Tongzhi. Almost all the Ming emperors who lived in Beijing did not live long. Jiajing lived to be 60 years old and Wanli was 58 years old, which was a long life. Most others died in their thirties and forties. Most people in ancient China did not live long, but such a short life span was rare.
In my spare time, I often think: emperors are well-fed and at the top of the social pyramid, enjoying unparalleled material and medical security, but why are they so easily infected and sick? Why do some emperors behave so absurdly and strangely? Their illness deserves medical workers to think, explore and explore.
I am not a major in literature and history, but since history can be interpreted as a pearl by experts in literature and history, science and even medicine can be publicized with great interest for people to understand and comprehend.
So, I picked up the words that had been abandoned for many years. Cai Huangong, Duke Jing of Jin, Emperor Wen of Han, Song Taizu and Emperor Kangxi came to see me one after another. They are either smirking, cynical, or serious, some with a melancholy face and some with a ferocious face. I seem to be listening to their heartbeat with a stethoscope.
