Chapter 70: Successful Use of Both the Civilian and Military Versions of Hemostatic Powder
She first treated the regular version of the hemostatic powder.
Panax notoginseng, Bletilla striata, Agrimonia pilosa, Sanguisorba officinalis charcoal... she weighed each medicinal herb precisely.
This formula is relatively simple, and the medicinal materials are common. The key is in the compatibility of the ingredients and the processing temperature.
Following the instructions in the prescription, Gu Baobao pre-treated the medicinal herbs using different methods:
Some need to be roasted over a low flame until they reach a specific color, some need to be processed with alcohol to enhance their medicinal properties, and some need to be ground into extremely fine powder.
Her movements were steady and precise, and her control over the heat and timing was thanks to her profound knowledge of pharmacology from her previous life and her current superhuman perception, making her movements almost perfectly accurate.
Soon, the powdered medicinal herbs were mixed together.
Gu Baobao sifted the powder through a fine sieve three times to ensure it was even and fine.
Then, she picked up a little powder with a small spoon and sniffed it lightly.
It has a pure medicinal aroma, with the astringent taste and slightly burnt fragrance unique to hemostatic herbs.
[Defu, analyze the active ingredients and estimated effects of this standard sample.]
She gave the instruction in her heart.
[Ding! Scanning and analyzing...]
The electronic sound system from Defu began, carrying a professional tone.
[Component analysis completed: The content of major active ingredients such as Panax notoginseng saponins, Bletilla striata gum, Agrimonia pilosa extract, and Sanguisorba officinalis tannins meet the standards, and the proportions comply with the requirements of the prescription.]
The powder fineness meets the standards, and the estimated hemostatic effect is: for superficial cuts and abrasions, the hemostasis time can be shortened to 60%-70% of that of conventional herbal dressings.
It also has mild anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Overall evaluation: Qualified, superior to commonly used folk remedies for stopping bleeding.
Gu Baobao nodded.
good! !
This standard version is already much more effective than the hemostatic herbs that barefoot doctors and ordinary people find themselves.
The key is that the formula is fixed, which allows for standardized preparation and makes it suitable for widespread application.
She carefully packed the regular version of the hemostatic powder into a small, clean, and dried porcelain bottle and labeled it.
Next up is the main attraction: the highly efficient military-grade improved version.
This recipe is much more complicated.
In addition to basic medicinal materials such as Panax notoginseng and Bletilla striata, she also added a substitute for dragon's blood, one that she selected based on its medicinal properties.
The alternatives that this era might have found included resins, catechu, borneol, and several special medicinal materials with strong astringent and platelet aggregation-promoting properties.
The processing methods are also more complicated, some requiring special auxiliary materials, and some requiring extremely precise control of temperature and humidity for fermentation or extraction.
Gu Baobao was completely focused.
She even used some simple extraction devices from the space:
That was the tool she used in her previous life when conducting plant extraction experiments. Although it was rudimentary, it was far more advanced than the tools used in this era.
Time passed little by little.
The only sounds in the research room were the grinding of medicinal herbs, the clinking of instruments, and the occasional soft noise of Gu Baobao recording data.
Sweat beaded on her forehead again, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
Finally, all the medicinal herbs were processed.
Mix, grind, sieve...
After the final sifting, what fell into the white porcelain plate was a deep red powder that was darker in color, finer and more uniform in texture, and had a faint metallic sheen than the regular version.
Gu Baobao carefully dipped her fingertip in the mixture and gently rubbed it apart.
The powder is as fine as dust and has a slightly cool feel.
She took a deep breath.
[Defu, analyze this.]
[Ding! Scanning and analysis in progress...]
This time, Deford's analysis took significantly longer.
A few seconds later, its voice was filled with obvious excitement:
[Host! Congratulations! A sample of the highly effective, military-grade improved hemostatic powder has been successfully prepared!]
[Active ingredient analysis: The concentration of the core hemostatic ingredient is approximately 2.3 times higher than the regular version! The newly added ingredient 'X-Glucoside' replaces the blood-activating product.]
It exhibits extremely strong procoagulant and vasoconstrictive effects! The borneol component provides mild local anesthesia and a cooling sensation!
Expected Outcome: For moderate arterial bleeding, the hemostasis time is expected to be reduced by more than 80% compared to conventional methods!
It is remarkably effective for bleeding from muscle tissue and organ surfaces! Furthermore, this product has some antibacterial properties, which can reduce the risk of wound infection!
Overall rating: Excellent! This formula's hemostatic effect has reached the forefront of our time, and may even surpass it!
If it can be properly prepared and widely disseminated, it will greatly improve the success rate of treating combat injuries and external wounds! A truly meritorious act!
Gu Baobao's heart pounded as she listened to Defu's analysis.
It was a success!
It really worked!
Although it was only a small batch of laboratory samples, it proved the feasibility and excellent effect of the formula!
Suppressing her excitement, she carefully placed the precious deep red powder into another specially made small glass bottle and sealed it tightly.
Looking at the two small bottles in her hand, Gu Baobao was filled with excitement.
The standard version can be promoted to primary health clinics and rural barefoot doctors, benefiting ordinary people.
The high-efficiency military version can be directly provided to troops for training wounds, combat wound care, and saving more soldiers' lives and limbs!
These are all real acts of merit!
Moreover, with this achievement, her position in the hospital and the military region will be further solidified.
Based on this, we will apply for more research resources and conduct more in-depth research projects in the future, such as finding antibacterial formulas to replace antibiotics and improving treatment plans for other common diseases...
The road was becoming clear beneath her feet.
【Defu,】
She looked at the bottle in her hand, her eyes resolute.
Please help me record all experimental data and compile it into a report. Also, we need to begin screening traditional Chinese medicine formulas with broad-spectrum antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects to prepare for the next phase of research.
[Received, Master! Data recording complete! Antibacterial formula screening task established! This system will fully assist you!]
Defu's voice was full of energy.
Gu Baobao carefully put away the two sample bottles, took off her lab coat, and washed her hands.
Looking at the time, it should be almost evening outside.
She had to go out and prepare dinner.
Although it was still hot, Gu Baobao felt full of energy when she thought about her research results and future plans.
What's a little summer heat?
What's wrong with just watching?
She possesses medical skills, a spiritual spring, a system, a supportive brother and... Brother Zhanming, and this land beneath her feet where she can realize her ambitions.
She will take it one step at a time, steadily and practically.
Use these hands to save more people.
Use this knowledge to drive even the smallest progress in healthcare in this era.
As for those shadows hidden in the dark...
Gu Baobao's eyes were calm.
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.
She takes care of the baby and is never one to back down from trouble.
With a thought, she returned to that stuffy but real little room.
Pushing open the door, a slightly cool evening breeze blew in.
In the courtyard, the two "wounded" men were sitting staring at each other when they heard the door open and turned around at the same time.
Our eyes met.
Gu Baobao's face lit up with a clear and bright smile:
"I've had a good rest. What would you like to eat tonight?"
