When Zheng Jianguo spoke, his eyes swept over the face of Fiona, who was overburned, this 18-year-old girl has typical European and American female characteristics - the height is at least one meter seven or eight, but compared with the tall figure, she has a delicate little face, and this one has the most fashionable big wavy long hair, fortunately, she did not come in professional clothes, but wore the school uniform of Mayo Medical School.

Intern, that is at least a medical student in the third year, just referring to Walton's previous statement, it is not good that the fourth year is about the same, ignoring the hidden provocation in the other party's blue eyes, Zheng Jianguo sighed in his heart at the conditions prescribed to him by the medical school, he did not expect to enjoy the privilege of being a scholar in China, and he can also enjoy it in the United States.

When Zheng Jianguo looked at Fiona, the latter was also blinking his long eyelashes to look at this super "student" from the East, although Walton said that she could almost pass the STEP2 exam now, but she was still a little afraid in her heart.

After all, even in the Mayo School of Medicine, which has the title of medical Mecca, there is not necessarily one who can pass the STEP2 exam in advance every year - that needs to get all the credits of the second year in the first year, so that it is possible to skip a grade to participate in the hospital internship in the second year, and get the best internship credits in the first year of the internship before taking the STEP2 exam.

It's almost impossible!

This product can pass STEP2 in advance, all because of the privilege issued by the school!

If he has his privileges -

It's a pity that I didn't find Helicobacter pylori!

Harvard Medical School also snatched Zheng Jianguo away with this privilege-

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, Fiona couldn't help but lose the slightest temper about this privilege, at the beginning Mayo also gave him similar conditions, delicate eyebrows looked at him, just when he heard him say the prepared speech, he also opened his mouth and said: "Is it stomach cancer?"

"It's cancer, isn't it an optimistic outlook for the fight against cancer today?"

In view of the fact that this is the first time Zheng Jianguo has spoken at such a large-scale conference, especially at a medical conference in his own field, he put on the customized equipment when he came, a single-breasted blue fishbone three-piece suit plus color-matched Oxford shoes, plus combing back the hair that had not been taken care of all winter with glue, which also set off the sharp edge of the not three-dimensional facial features: "My speech is aimed at the biggest difficulty of cancer at present, Fiona, what do you think is the biggest difficulty in overcoming cancer——"

"There's so little money—"

Hearing the other party's implicit provocative question, Fiona subconsciously said that after looking at Walton and Caphora, she saw two more familiar directors appearing next to her, and continued: "Now the NIH allocates a lot of money every year, but think about the 400 million dollars allocated to dozens of research institutions and hundreds of projects, this is not evenly divided, and there are more or less——"

The U.S. war against cancer began in 1971, just two years after the moon landing, and the nation was swelling with pride, so in the first year after the enactment of the National Cancer Act, it allocated $230 million, a figure that grew to $470 million in 1979 last year, and almost $2.7 billion in eight years.

America is so rich!

This is Zheng Jianguo's first reaction after understanding, and the second reaction is that so much money has not even made a splash: "No one will be disgusted with too much money, especially for researchers like us, it is normal to only invest and need to generate returns."

As far as I know, since 1971, the combination drug that removed blood cancer belonged to the previous treatment, and the remaining result was tamoxifen approved by the FDA the year before last, which is not a drug for the treatment of cancer, but a drug for the prevention of breast cancer recurrence.

And when it comes to cancer prevention, billions of dollars have been spent in seven or eight years, which in my opinion is not as great as the statistical contribution to the study of the association between cigarettes and lung cancer, which everyone now knows is a major contributor to lung cancer. ”

"It's just that statistics aren't a medical field—"

Fiona said something nonsense that wasn't nonsense, and then when she saw Walton and Caflan next to her, a loud voice came from all directions: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am—"

"The meeting is on, let's take our seats. ”

Loud voices echoed in the venue, and Caphora and Walton returned to the front row of their association's area to take their seats, because cancer involves many specialties in the medical field, so even if the cancer society that organized the meeting was not an official academic institution, the number of participants attending the opening ceremony reached more than 1,000 people, and the buzzing venue was quiet for a while.

The opening of the meeting took a few minutes, followed by the introduction of the guests and guests of the conference, not to mention the presence of the three bigwigs of the American Cancer Institute, and the vice president of the National Institutes of Health of the United States also arrived, and the most surprising thing for Zheng Jianguo was that the WHO Director-General Halfdan Mahler also arrived, and it was only then that he realized the energy of these unofficial organizations, of course, it also reflected the connections of American doctors from the side, and it was a large list of doctorate titles from the introduction alone-

If Zheng Jianguo hadn't learned about these people through the cancer battle before he came, he would probably not have been able to guess the identities of these people, but fortunately, he changed his personal speech not long after the introduction, and the content of the introduction was just some clichés, the essence of which was what direction the money allocated by the NIH was spent, and what progress was made-

Zheng Jianguo does not care about the whereabouts of these funds and research, after a year and a half of contact and study, he now has a clearer understanding, knowing that the molecular biology that currently plagues many researchers here is still in the stage of ignorance, although its symbol DNA molecule double helix has been discovered for more than ten years, but it is still a foot in the door.

Nucleic acid isolation and purification have been discovered, but the success rate of nucleic acid molecular hybridization test is so low that it is outrageous.

DNA sequence analysis is not a new topic, but the expression of exogenous genes in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells has not yet felt the shadow, as for the gene in vitro amplification technology is still in the laboratory of Qi Provincial Medical College, the current difficulty in updating this technology depends on whether the old Ye Minde can find high-temperature thermophilic bacteria.

Zheng Jianguo has not gone to the library to check the relevant papers in order to cope with the STEP2 exam, and now it is rare to come out to participate in the meeting as a distraction, but he just listened and watched I don't know if the air conditioner was too warm or the sleepy insect was in the eyes, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep in the soft seat, until there was a strong force next to him, and he woke up while listening to what the loudspeaker was saying: "—— Over the past year, we have re-examined the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the digestive system, especially in the acidic environment of the stomach, and the discoverer, Zheng Jianguo, named the Helicobacter pylori based on his research in the pyloric site.

Rubbing his eyes and smiling apologetically at Caphora, Zheng Jianguo found that Fiona behind Walton's seat was staring at her with her big eyes, and couldn't help blinking her right eye subconsciously, and then the voice in the loudspeaker followed: "Today, Dr. Zheng Jianguo - this, isn't he studying in medical school?"

In a formal setting such as a conference, the title of identity will not be added to the well-known positions of the Chinese people, such as several deans on the stage, but will be distinguished by the degree of the person being introduced, so it has become the opening of the previous large number of doctors.

However, MDs are not the same as PhDs in other majors, but are specifically called MDs, and after graduating from medical school, they will receive a degree in this clinical direction, while for research PhDs in other disciplines, they will use PhDs.

Then in terms of degrees in the medical field, MD is a doctor of medicine, so when a clinical doctor of medicine is ready to step into the field of scientific research, and after passing the assessment, he will become a unique MD and PhD double doctor, according to Chinese is a medical scientist: a doctor and a scientist.

And this is also the reason why Massachusetts General Hospital will give him a 35:15 hour time allocation per week, and the meaning behind it shows that this agreement is not a simple emergency residency training program, but a joint training program that integrates scientific research projects, which is also a condition of Massachusetts General Hospital in order to attract him to join.

All medical schools in the United States admit fewer than 20,000 medical students a year, but nationwide, the number of students enrolled in this joint training program that combines residency and scientific research is only 500 per year.

So in the face of such a true fragrance condition, Zheng Jianguo didn't even think about it, so his identity became a glorious Xinzha resident, but when Kaphoran, who got the news, submitted the list of participants, he didn't think much about hanging an MD behind his name, but he didn't expect that there was a mistake in this joint now: "I haven't got my graduation certificate yet." ”

"I'm sorry—"

Caphora's face changed slightly and exchanged glances with Walton, and the latter quickly got up and went to the rostrum and muttered something, then saw the host show a surprised expression and laughed: "Wow, Zheng actually passed the STEP2 exam ahead of schedule, then let's congratulate this super student from the mysterious East, Zheng, please come up, haven't you got your graduation certificate yet?"

When he was woken up from sleep, Zheng Jianguo unbuttoned his suit, revealing the vest and shirt inside to make himself casual, he heard the host greet him, and he got up and buttoned up to the podium and said with a smile: "Yes, Dr. Ruofuer, I haven't got my graduation certificate yet-"

"Well, then I still have a chance to attend your graduation ceremony, ladies and gentlemen, it really makes me jealous to see his young face, then I will leave it to the young Zheng, Zheng Jianguo from the mysterious East, the discoverer and pathogenicity verifier of Helicobacter pylori-"

Ruo Fuer, whose head was shining, wore a small glasses and withdrew his gaze from Zheng Jianguo's face, and then turned to the black crowd under the stage and said, the latter also shook hands with Ruo Fu in the fierce and roaring applause, Shi Shiran stood in front of the stage of thousands of people, and couldn't stop nodding at the fierce applause of the audience: "Thank you, thank you!"

It was a tribute to the three directions, Zheng Jianguo then spoke: "Gentlemen and ladies, it is a great honor, a great honor to be able to participate in this meeting, I am Zheng Jianguo, from Shanxian County, Yuquan District, Mountain Province, far east, I never dreamed that I could come to the United States and come here to face the number one killer of mankind, cancer!"

As the greatest enemy of mankind, the history of cancer is so long that it cannot be traced, but according to the known information, it can be confirmed that this number one killer is not unique to humans, but is found in all multicellular life forms, that is to say, this killer has appeared since the time when single cells began to be combined!

Only multicellular organisms can develop cancer, so it can be assumed that it is a disease that originates from the organisms themselves, just like Dr. Stephen Paget asked 91 years ago, why do you never have breast cancer on your legs?!

I don't know if Janet Raley was there, but on behalf of Dr. Stephen Paget, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for your impeccable testing to prove that blood cancers are caused by chromosomal mutations in your own cells.

This also makes us start to abandon different concepts for the first time, and put our eyes back on our own body from the virus and environment in the outside world, please look at our body, it is like the home of our soul, but this home does not allow you to change it when you have money.

So we can find that as the body grows in use, there will be all kinds of problems in this home, from headaches, brain fever, backache, back pain, leg cold, foot odor to disability, and then to brain cancer and heart disease, just like we drive a newly bought car to scrap, and then we can go to God.

Some gentlemen and ladies laughed, some gentlemen and ladies did not, just like there are respiratory doctors, digestive doctors, and genitourinary doctors in this room, these three systems cover most of the cancers, but we are still working in silos.

I think we're struggling to deal with it, and we're going to waste a lot of manpower and material resources to touch elephants blindly, and if we want to know more about cancer, we should look at our genes like Janet Raleigh did!

Based on my current study of medicine, I believe that all diseases, including cancer, are directly or indirectly related to our genes, so I would suggest that either we should continue with the previous piecemeal work, or we should work together to study and analyze the entire human genome as a whole, and determine the order of base pairs in the genome. ”
