Zuo Li is actually very good at writing papers, but Chen Tianming is studying at Harvard for a doctorate, and his thesis must be a lot higher than herself, and she is studying Western medicine, so she must be writing about Western medicine, so Zuo Li is not very good at it. But she didn't expect that she actually mentioned the combination of Chinese and Western, and suddenly became interested and asked, "What do you want to write?" ”

Chen Tianming said: "What impresses me the most is the role of traditional Chinese medicine in cancer treatment, and I think the cancer cases you have treated with pure Chinese medicine and the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine are very valuable, and they can be refined and raised to a theoretical level, which will have a reference and guidance role for us in cancer prevention and treatment in the future." Cancer has always been a problem in the world, and if anyone can finally break through this problem, the Nobel Prize in Medicine will definitely be him. Although I didn't dare to expect to reach such a peak, I also wanted to do my best. ”

Zuo Li said: "Okay, since you can afford me, of course I am willing to help you." ”

"What assistance, you are the main writer, your name should be at the top."

Zuo Li smiled: "Okay, don't put gold on my face." You put me in the front because you see that I don't have any scientific research achievements, and you are anxious, worried that I will not have anything to come up with in the future evaluation of the title, so you want to do me a favor and get a high-quality paper that can be used in the future, right? I know what you think. ”

Chen Tianming said: "I believe that your thesis ability does not need my help, and the evaluation of the title is not a problem at all." This paper, to be precise, is that we help each other. Because I want to get something new from you to help me broaden my horizons. I've written a lot of papers on cancer research, and to be honest, I really feel that my skills are a bit poor, and your level of Chinese medicine is very high, especially the theory of Chinese medicine, which will definitely make me feel uncomfortable. So, this time I would like to use your TCM ideas to collaborate on a brand new paper. ”

Zuo Li nodded and said, "Since you said so, that's okay, have you figured out where to get to the point?" ”

"To be honest, this is an idea that has just come to mind, and it is better to be a little difficult, and it belongs to a more cutting-edge topic, such as traditional Chinese medicine anti-cancer drugs or something. This will be advantageous when you declare key issues in the future. ”

Zuo Li thought for a while and said, "There have been a lot of relevant papers on the common anti-cancer drugs of traditional Chinese medicine. However, most of these papers are still at the cytological level, and there are relatively few papers related to reversing the biological behavior of tumor cells at the molecular level and the genetic level. ”

Chen Tianming smiled happily: "Look, you are still modest!" You are well versed in the frontier issues of medicine, okay, so let's conceive from this aspect, do you have specific ideas? ”

Zuo Li said: "Traditional Chinese medicine often uses drugs that warm the yang and dispel cold, such as toad skin, which is used to inhibit tumor cells. In addition, some other traditional Chinese medicines have also extracted corresponding anti-tumor components, which can be used to inhibit malignant tumors. Of course, I still prefer to use the method of syndrome differentiation thinking in traditional Chinese medicine, rather than thinking from the perspective of pharmacology in Western medicine. However, this area may require relevant comparative clinical trials, rather than just looking through the data. ”

"That's right, that's what I mean, we don't just have to write information papers, we have to use clinical data to be convincing. Before, I was just a whim, but now I find this idea very reliable, because you are very good at this aspect, and now I am confident that I will win the national key scientific research project of our hospital this year! ”

Suddenly, someone interjected from behind: "Don't do this, Director Chen!" ”

The two turned their heads to look, but it was Sun Tao, who walked over with a meal without smiling, sat down at the table, and said to Chen Tianming: "The national key scientific research projects of our hospital are basically taken away by you every year, and it is time to carry forward the style to make us beautiful, right?" ”

Chen Tianming said lightly: "This is engaged in scientific research, not the selection of the best, each according to his ability." ”

"Just kidding, by the way, I just heard that you want to choose the topic of integrative medicine?"

Chen Tianming didn't want to talk to him more, just nodded.

Sun Tao said excitedly: "Okay! I'm sure you'll be able to achieve great success, but it's a challenging choice. I wish you all success! ”

Sun Tao happily ate and walked quickly.

Chen Tianming asked Zuo Li puzzled: "What is he happy about?" It's as if he took advantage of this topic when we chose it. ”

Zuo Li smiled and said: "He thinks that the topic we chose must have been smashed." Because he has never been optimistic about Chinese medicine, he thinks that Chinese medicine is pseudoscience, and he thinks that others think so, so this year he hopes to win the first prize and win the national key scientific research project. ”

Chen Tianming smiled and said, "So that's the case, then he may be disappointed." I am more confident about this year's project than in any previous years. ”

According to the rules commonly known as the convention, only the papers that won awards in the National Yaowang Cup Medical Paper Selection are eligible to apply for national key scientific research projects, and from the perspective of previous years, there is only one of the three hospitals that finally approve the national key scientific research projects every year. Since Chen Tianming came, she has basically taken the national key topics every year. Because her scientific research ability in thesis writing is too strong, others are not at the same level as her.

Zuo Li heard Chen Tianming's affirmation, and he also increased a lot of confidence. He said: "I'll go back and think about it carefully, draw up an outline, and let's work together to study how to carry out specific clinical research tests." ”

Although Zuo Li's dissertation writing is not as good as Chen Tianming, after all, he came out of a graduate class and has a very strong ability, especially the Chinese medicine major that he is familiar with. So, it only took two days for him to write an outline for Chen Tianming.

In the past few days, Chen Tianming has also been pondering the matter of the paper, and after getting Zuo Li's outline, he and Zuo Li got together several times to ponder and determine the framework of the paper.

The two made a division of labor, each responsible for part of the paper writing, and then Chen Tianming coordinated the draft.

It only took half a month for the two to complete this high-quality paper, and they waited for good news after submitting it.

After the paper was completed, Zuo Li invited Chen Tianming to dinner to celebrate.

The two chatted while eating, Zuo Li said to Chen Tianming with emotion: "You are born to engage in theoretical research, if you don't engage in clinical practice, become a professor at the University of Medicine, it will definitely be a super-first-class level, and you can become a famous professor in the country." You're engaged in clinical burial of talents. ”

Chen Tianming shook his head and said: "I actually don't like to engage in pure theoretical research, medicine is a discipline with strong practice, and if it is separated from clinical practice, it will become water without a source." Although I read a lot of books, I really don't hate them when they are used, and I always want to find an opportunity to study again. ”

"Re-study? What are you studying after you have a PhD? ”

"I'm not talking about going to university, I want to go to a medically advanced country to learn some clinical experience. When I was in college in the United States, I was just studying, and I didn't have many opportunities to get started with clinical practice, so I didn't have much exposure to clinical aspects in the United States. ”
