137 Real scientific research
"Teacher, I just heard something." Ji Xiang repeated what Mr. Wu said in its original form.
"Teacher, do you say this is true?"
"Yes." The system NPC nodded and agreed with what Mr. Wu had just said.
Ji Xiang pondered, he had a lot of thoughts, reasonable and unreasonable, as long as it existed, it must be reasonable.
"Let's put it this way, 99.99% of the scientific research in the medical community is meaningless." The system NPC simply gave Ji Xiang a number that made him desperate.
"But ......"
"Promotion, job title, all need these things, human nature." The system NPC smiled, "From my point of view, there is only one meaningful scientific research in the country. ”
“!
! Ji Xiang stared.
It's a treasure.
"Oilfield company, you know." The system NPC asked.
"Yes, PetroChina." Ji Xiang Road.
"Oilfield diabetes research is the only project in China that leads the world in the medical system." (Note)
Ji Xiang originally thought that this project would appear in Xiehe and West China, but he didn't expect it to fall into the oilfield hospital.
The level of medical care in the area seems to be very average, at least not leading.
This kind of place can ensure the most basic medical care is already very good, and advanced scientific research? Ji Xiang always felt impossible.
"That's right." The NPC of the system explained to Ji Xiang, "In 1985, when the director of the endocrinology department of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital Pan had a meeting, he said one thing and wanted to do scientific research. But at that time there was no money, the country had no money, and the hospitals were even poorer. ”
"Coincidentally, President Hu of the Oilfield General Hospital at that time knew about this and took it."
"Serendipity...... Is it lucky? Ji Xiang asked.
"It's not just about luck, you listen to me." The system NPC said, "After all, it is an oilfield hospital, which was affiliated to the oilfield company at that time, and the oilfield company allocated 100,000 yuan for a scientific research report." ”
"That's a lot of money."
"Money was a small thing, and it was a lot in those days." The system NPC said this, with a bright smile on his face, "At that time, 110,660 samples were found in the oilfield workers. ”
"Teacher, is it a patient?"
"No, it's people, to be precise, the employees of the oilfield company at that time." "There were people of all ages, and at that time, there were only 577 people with impaired glucose tolerance, and these people were in a state of abnormal glucose metabolism from normal blood sugar to diabetes. ”
"These IGT groups were randomly divided into a control group, an intervention group, and in the intervention group, they were divided into a diet intervention group, an exercise intervention group, and a diet + exercise intervention group."
"In short, the first study was carried out at that time. As for how big the significance is, let's talk about it when you turn to internal medicine. ”
Ji Xiang nodded.
"Until 1992, when the six-year lifestyle intervention ended."
"We did 20 years of follow-up in 2006, 23 years in 2009, and 30 years in 2016.
Follow-up data were collected for further statistical analysis to assess the effects of lifestyle interventions on diabetes incidence, cardiovascular events, composite microvascular complications, cerebrovascular mortality, all-cause mortality and life expectancy. ”
"Teacher, I have a question." Ji Xiang raised his hand.
"You say."
"With a sample of just over 500 people, it doesn't seem world-class."
"Hehe, didn't you say it, it's a sample of 110,660 people." The system NPC said with a smile.
"Uh......" Ji Xiang was stunned.
A sample of 110,000 people, after 30 years, how does this sound like a fantasy.
This is a bit too much work.
Ji Xiang has never done scientific research, and he can only guess some things.
"It's also a coincidence, it's really a coincidence." The system NPC sighed.
He said two coincidences in a row, and his tone became heavier and heavier.
"I'm going to say something long-winded that you don't want to hear."
"Teacher, I'm willing to listen to what you say." Ji Xiang smiled and said, "Why don't we go to the locker room, and you talk while smoking?" ”
The system NPC hesitated, "No. ”
"The first element of success was that the sample population at that time was workers. The working class is very disciplined, something that most people probably ignore. When I did my research back then, I didn't take this into account, and it was indeed good luck. ”
"Teacher, why do you say discipline?"
"Thirty years later, when the young and middle-aged people were all retired, the follow-up researchers just wanted to make a phone call and ask who could come back for a review."
"Here, there are two more points. First, the oilfield workers are registered, the eighties of the last century is not like now, if you change to other places, it is estimated that many people have lost contact. ”
Ji Xiang nodded in acknowledgment.
After calling and inquiring, 95% of them flew back from Tiannan and Haibei for a physical examination. In any other place, this would not have been possible. ”
“!
! ”
Ji Xiang was surprised.
Just like the system NPC said, if the time is long enough, no matter how large the most primitive sample size is, it is difficult to resist the years, scattered, and cannot be collected.
And 95% of the people in the 30-year follow-up flew back, which alone made Ji Xiang dumbfounded.
"And then there's the fact that the world's research methods have been denied in the first place."
“……”
Is it so sloppy? It's the first time Ji Xiang has heard of something like this.
"In the sixties and seventies of the last century, individual sample studies were popular all over the world, and the 85-year-old oilfield diabetes project was a small group sample study, which was initially ridiculed for many years."
"And then?" Ji Xiang asked.
"Later, in the 90s, group sample research dominated the mainstream academic consensus. The DPS study in Finland that began in 1993 and the DPP study in the United States that began in 1999 are both research classifications for oilfield diabetes. ”
"This is a scientific research project, I will simply say, you don't need to touch it for the time being." "In short, there is research on diabetes, and China leads the world in oilfield diabetes research.
In my opinion, this research can produce at least 100 top international papers. ”
"Is there a publication?" Ji Xiang asked.
"Of course, the Lancet's diabetic journal has already been published." The system NPC smiled, "What, you're interested in academics?" ”
Ji Xiang nodded.
"The kind of academic articles that you have at your current level can be posted casually, but if they are really valuable, they need a long time and a large number of samples, and you have to do hard work." The system NPC said meaningfully.
"30 years?"
"At least."
Ji Xiang scratched his head.
In 30 years, I am about to retire, and it is too slow for scientific research to really produce results.
"Take your time, it's quicker."

Note: This year, Academician Wang Chen said it when he came to guide the work at the symposium. Emmm, Academician Wang is the principal that Teacher Wu often calls in Sleepless Doctors.
The only world-leading passage in China is the original words of Academician Wang.
