When Zheng Jianguo spoke, his eyes swept over Fiona''s face. This 18-year-old girl has typical European and American female characteristics - her height is at least 1.78 meters by visual inspection, but she has a delicate small face compared with her tall body, and she has the most fashionable big wave long hair. Fortunately, she didn''t wear professional clothes, But wearing Mayo Medical school uniforms.
Intern, he was also a medical student in the third school year at least. Just referring to Walton''s previous statement, maybe the fourth school year was almost the same. Ignoring the provocation hidden in the other party''s blue eyes, Zheng Jianguo sighed at the conditions given to him by the medical school. He didn''t expect to enjoy the privilege of learning hegemony in China, You can also enjoy it in America.
When Zheng Jianguo looked at Fiona, the latter was also blinking a pair of long eyelashes to examine the super "Xueba" from the East. Although Walton said that she could almost pass the Step2 test now, she was still afraid at the bottom of her heart.
After all, even in Mayo Medical College, which has the title of Mecca of medicine, there is not necessarily one who can pass the Step2 examination in advance every year - that is, it is necessary to get all the credits in the second year in the first year, so that it is possible to skip the grade, participate in hospital practice in the second year, and get the best internship credits in the first year, Then you can take the step 2 exam.
This is an almost impossible task!
This product can pass Step2 in advance because of the privilege of the school!
If you have his privileges——
Unfortunately, I didn''t find Helicobacter pylori!
Harvard Medical School also robbed Zheng Jianguo with this privilege——
Many thoughts flashed through her mind. Fiona couldn''t help losing her temper about this privilege. At the beginning, Mayo also offered him similar conditions. She looked at him with exquisite eyebrows. When he said his prepared speech, she opened her mouth and said, "is it gastric cancer?"
"It''s about cancer. Today is not an optimistic prospect for anti-cancer?"
Since this is the first time Zheng Jianguo has spoken at such a large-scale conference, especially at the medical conference in his original field, when he came here, he put on the already customized equipment, the single breasted blue fishbone pattern three-piece set, plus the competition color Oxford Shoes, and combed the hair that hasn''t been taken care of all winter with glue, That is to say, I am speaking against the biggest difficulty of cancer at present. Fiona, what do you think is the biggest difficulty in overcoming cancer --
"Too little money -"
After hearing the other party''s implicit provocative questions, Fiona subconsciously said it, then looked at Walton and kavlan, saw two familiar directors nearby, and continued: "now NIH seems to allocate a lot of money every year, but think that $400 million is distributed to hundreds of projects in dozens of research institutions, which is not an average, And how much and how little -- "
The American campaign against cancer began in 1971. It was only two years since the human landing on the moon. The whole country of the United States was at the time of the explosion of pride. Therefore, in the first year after the promulgation of the National Cancer Act, it allocated $230 million. After eight years, this number increased to 470 million in 1979 last year, Almost $2.7 billion has been thrown in in eight years.
America is really rich!
This is Zheng Jianguo''s first response after understanding. The second response is that so much money is not even splashed out: "no one will think of too much money, especially for researchers like us, it is normal that only investment needs to produce return.
As far as I know, since 1971, the combination therapy of removing blood cancer belongs to some previous therapies. The remaining result is tamoxifen, approved by FDA the year before, which is not a drug for cancer treatment, but a drug used to prevent recurrence of breast cancer.
When it comes to cancer prevention, several billion dollars have been spent in seven or eight years. In my opinion, it is not as good as the contribution of statistics to the study of the relationship between cigarettes and lung cancer. Now everyone knows that smoking is the main factor causing lung cancer. "
"Just statistics, not medicine -"
Fiona said something that wasn''t nonsense. Then when she saw Walton and cafranzi looking at her, a huge voice came from all directions: "ladies and gentlemen, I''m --"
"The meeting has begun. Let''s take a seat."
Great voices echoed in the conference hall, and Kaplan and Walton returned to the front row of their association. Since cancer involves many specialties in the medical field, even if the Cancer Society organizing the conference is not an official academic institution, more than 1000 participants attended the opening ceremony, It took quite a while for the buzzing meeting place to be quiet.
The opening of the meeting took a few minutes, followed by the introduction of the guests and guests of the meeting. Not to mention the presence of the three leaders of the American Cancer Institute, but also the vice president of the National Institutes of health. Zheng Jianguo was most surprised that the director general of who, hafdan Mahler, also arrived, Only then did he realize the energy of these non-governmental organizations. Of course, he also reflected the contacts of American doctors from the side. Just listening from the introduction is a series of doctoral titles——
If Zheng Jianguo hadn''t known these people through the cancer campaign before he came, he might not have guessed their identity. Fortunately, after a short introduction, he changed his personal speech. The content of the introduction was just platitudes. In fact, the substantive content is what direction the money allocated by NIH has been spent and what progress has been made——
Zheng Jianguo doesn''t care about the whereabouts and research of these funds. After a year and a half of contact and learning, he now has a clearer understanding. He knows that the molecular biology that puzzles many researchers here is still in the infancy stage. Although its marker DNA molecular double helix has been found for more than ten years, he is still on the verge of a foot at this moment.
Nucleic acid separation and purification have been found, but the success rate of nucleic acid molecular hybridization test is as low as a finger. As for the later cloning technology and gene library, let alone looking at the flowers in the fog, at present, the whole is black.
DNA sequence analysis is not a new topic, but the expression of foreign genes in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells has not been touched. As for the gene in vitro amplification technology, it is still covered in the laboratory of Qi provincial medical college. At present, the difficulty of updating this technology depends on whether ye minde, who is not old, can find thermophilic bacteria.
Zheng Jianguo didn''t go to the library to check the relevant papers in order to cope with the Step2 exam. Now it''s rare to come out to attend the meeting as a distraction. Just listening and looking, I don''t know whether the air conditioner is too warm or the sleepy bug is in the eye. Not many meetings actually fell asleep in the soft seat, until there was a great force nearby, When he woke up, he listened to what the trumpet was saying: "in the past year, we re examined the Helicobacter pylori in the digestive system, especially in the acidic environment in the stomach. Based on the conclusions drawn from the study on the pyloric site, the discoverer Zheng Jianguo named the Helicobacter pylori --"
He rubbed his eyes and smiled sorry at kafulan. Zheng Jianguo found that Fiona was staring at Walton''s seat. She couldn''t help blinking her right eye subconsciously. At this time, the voice from the loudspeaker came: "today, Dr. Zheng Jianguo - well, isn''t he studying in medical school?"
In the formal occasion of the conference, the title of identity will not be added to the positions well-known to Chinese people, such as several presidents present at the conference, but distinguished by the degree of the introduced person, so it has become the beginning of the previous doctor.
However, the doctor of medicine is not the same as the doctor of other majors, but has a special name MD. after graduating from medical school, he will get this degree in the clinical direction, while the research doctor of other disciplines uses PhD.
In terms of a degree in the medical field, MD is a doctor of medicine. Therefore, when a clinical doctor of medicine is ready to step into the field of scientific research, and after passing the examination, he will become a unique doctor of MD and PhD. In Chinese, he is a doctor: doctor and scientist.
This is also the reason why the Massachusetts General Hospital will give him 35:15 hours a week. The significance behind it shows that this agreement is not a simple emergency inpatient training program, but a joint training program integrated with scientific research programs. This is also the condition for the Massachusetts General Hospital to attract him to join.
All medical schools in the United States recruit less than 20000 medical students every year. However, nationwide, the enrollment of this joint training program integrating inpatients and scientific research is only 500 every year.
So in the face of such a really fragrant condition, Zheng Jianguo answered without thinking, so his identity became a glorious Xinzha inpatient. Just kafulan, who got the news, hung an MD behind his name without thinking much when submitting the list of participants, but he didn''t expect that there was a mistake in this joint: "I haven''t got my diploma yet."
"Sorry -"
Kafulan''s face slightly changed and exchanged a wink with Walton. The latter quickly got up and went to the podium. I don''t know what to mutter. He saw the host show a surprised expression and pile up a smile: "Wow, Zheng passed the Step2 test in advance. Let''s congratulate the super academic bully from the mysterious East, Zheng, please come up, Haven''t you got your diploma yet? "
When someone woke him up from sleep, Zheng Jianguo untied the buttons on his suit and revealed his vest and shirt so that he could be more casual. After listening to the host''s greeting, he got up and buttoned up and went to the podium with a smile: "yes, Dr. ruffer, I haven''t got my Diploma yet -"
"That''s good. Then I still have a chance to attend your graduation ceremony. Ladies and gentlemen, seeing his so young face really makes me jealous. Let''s give it to young Zheng, Zheng Jianguo from the mysterious East, the discoverer and pathogenic verifier of Helicobacter pylori -"
Wearing a small pair of glasses, ruofer, whose forehead was shining, took back his eyes from Zheng Jianguo''s face, then turned to the dark crowd under the stage and said that the latter shook hands with ruofer in the fierce to roaring applause. Shi Shi ran stood in front of the stage attracting thousands of attention and nodded at the fierce applause under the stage: "thank you, thank you!"
After seeing it in three directions, Zheng Jianguo said: "ladies and gentlemen, it''s a great honor and a great honor to participate in this meeting. I''m Zheng Jianguo, from Shanshan County, Yuquan District, mountain province in the Far East. I never dreamed of coming to America to face the number one killer of mankind, cancer, with all of you here!
As the biggest enemy of human beings, the history of cancer has been far from traceable. Only according to the known data, it can be confirmed that this number one killer is not unique to human beings, but spread throughout all multicellular organisms, that is to say, this killer has appeared since single cells began to combine together!
And only multicellular organisms can develop cancer. It can be speculated that this is a disease originated from the life itself, just like what Stephen Paget asked 91 years ago, why does your leg never grow breast cancer?
I don''t know whether Ms. Janet Raleigh has arrived at the scene. Please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks to you on behalf of Dr. Stephen Paget. It is your impeccable test that proves that blood cancer originates from chromosome variation of your own cells.
This also makes us abandon different ideas for the first time and put our eyes back on our body from the external virus and environment. Please look at our body. It is like the home of our soul, but this home does not allow you to change when you have money.
So we can find that with the growth of the service life of the body, there will be all kinds of problems in this family, from headache, brain heat, backache, back pain, cold legs, foot odor to disability, to brain cancer and heart disease, just as we drive our newly bought car to scrap, and then we can see God.
Some gentlemen and ladies laughed, but some gentlemen and ladies didn''t laugh. Just like some doctors in the respiratory system, digestive system and urogenital system, these three systems include most cancers, but we still go our own way.
I think we are tired of dealing with it at present, which will waste a lot of human and material resources to touch the blind and elephants. If we want to know more about cancer, we should focus on our genes like Ms. Janet Raleigh!
According to my current study of medicine, I believe that all diseases, including cancer, have a direct or indirect relationship with our genes, so I suggest that we either continue to do our own piecemeal work, or work together to study and analyze the whole human genome as a whole and determine the sequence of base pairs in the genome.
