Chapter 167: Vegetative People Promote Awakening - A Promising Field of Research!

"Xiao Zhao, there is some truth in what you said, but the reality is that if medicine is to progress, it must constantly have new achievements come out, so the general direction is correct, but when it comes to specific implementation, there are some problems."

Gao Jun thought for a moment and said.

"Teacher, is there any movement on the hospital's side?"

Zhao Heng asked with some confusion.

It seems that Gao Jun came to him because of this announcement.

However, in the list of hospitals that appeared in this notice, Zhao Heng did not see the name of Dongfang Hospital.

"Well, now the whole system is re-examining the scientific research papers that are promoted to the title, and a lot of problems have been found, basically, in the future, in the promotion of the title, it will be much stricter, and the previous one will also be traced, once there is a case of paper fraud, the title will be cancelled."

Gao Jun said slowly.

"So?"

Zhao Heng still didn't think of why Gao Jun came to talk to him about this.

"Xiao Zhao, you are still young, although professionally, your level is already very high. But there's so much more to learn in other areas. Title promotions are strictly reviewed, which is a bad thing for some people. But for you, it's a good thing. ”

Gao Jun said.

"A good thing? Teacher, I don't understand. ”

Hearing Gao Jun's words, Zhao Heng was a little puzzled, this audit is strict, and there are many people's titles canceled, how can it be a good thing for him?

"No matter what industry you are in, resources are limited, and not all doctors are promoted when they reach the age of their professional titles."

Gao Jun said slowly.

Many people, in a certain job title, may be stuck for decades.

"Is this a policy?"

Hearing Gao Jun say this, Zhao Heng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Well, the more there is large-scale fraud of papers, the more doctors who can produce really fruitful sci papers, the hospital will increase its support. Xiao Zhao, it was originally difficult for you to apply for projects and scientific research funds as your current resident doctor, but now it is relaxed in this regard, as long as you can publish SCI papers with an impact factor of 5.0 or above, and have been approved by the paper review committee, you can have the opportunity to apply for scientific research projects regardless of your title. ”

Gao Jun said.

Although for many clinicians, while carrying out heavy clinical work, they also have to engage in scientific research, which has led to scientific research has become a heavy burden for most clinicians.

But there are two sides to everything, and for geniuses who are truly talented in scientific research, what is lacking is platforms and opportunities.

"If you talk about the paper, whether it is the impact of anesthetic drugs on organs, or the recovery of brain function and consciousness, the SCI impact factor can reach more than 5.0."

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said.

"Well, yes, so you can get started and see if between these two and choose one as a topic, now is the best chance to apply."

Gao Jun nodded and said.

"The research on narcotic drugs is too broad and the investment is too large, and it is not something that an individual can have the ability to study in depth. If I could, I would like to study brain function and consciousness recovery. ”

Zhao Heng thought about it seriously and said.

As far as anesthetic drugs are concerned, there are now more than 120 kinds of drugs in 7 categories, and to study the effects of these drugs on organs, this is a very huge project, and it is not something that Zhao Heng can do alone.

The recovery of brain function and consciousness is relatively specific.

Many patients after surgery and trauma will have deep coma, such as brain surgery, severe head injury, etc., many of these patients are extremely difficult to recover.

There are many patients who have become vegetative and have fallen into a deep coma for years or even decades, lying in hospital beds.

"Xiao Zhao, do you want to delve into the part of vegetative people to promote awakening?"

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Gao Jun thought seriously for a while and said.

Vegetative people are people whose consciousness is locked in the body, and daily traumatic brain injury, stroke and ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy caused by cardiorespiratory arrest may lead to impaired consciousness in patients, and some patients cannot fully recover from acute coma, and the brain seems to enter a long-term "sleeping" state, commonly known as "vegetative person".

"Yes, according to statistics, about 7-100,000 vegetative people are produced in China every year due to car accident trauma, stroke, cardiac arrest and other reasons. For the arousal stimulation of these vegetative people, there are currently only conventional neurotrophic drugs, hyperbaric oxygen, rehabilitation physiotherapy, and environmental stimulation therapy. ”

"Teacher, to be honest, these conventional treatments actually have a very limited awakening effect on vegetative people, and the probability of successful awakening of vegetative people is very low."

Zhao Heng said slowly.

Maintaining and caring for a vegetative person is a huge burden for every family.

Vegetative people lie in the hospital, and every day, they have to incur very expensive medical expenses, and many families are dragged down by these huge medical expenses.

But it is also completely impossible for these families to give up hope of reviving in a vegetative state.

"Xiao Zhao, do you have a new idea?"

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Gao Jun's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his heart suddenly looked forward to it.

Zhao Heng's thinking has always been very broad, and he often thinks of some directions that ordinary people can't think of.

This is also the most precious thing that Gao Jun thinks Zhao Heng has.

This kind of thinking that is different from ordinary people can play a very big role in clinical work.

"I think it's time to innovate the method of awakening treatment in vegetative people."

Zhao Heng said very firmly.

"Well, how do you think we should renovate?"

Gao Jun nodded, looked at Zhao Heng expectantly and asked.

"I think that the treatment of vegetative awakening should be shifted from traditional methods to focus on neuromodulation techniques."

Zhao Heng said.

"Neuromodulation technology?"

Gao Jun asked with some confusion.

This neuromodulation technology is the latest and most cutting-edge treatment concept in the world.

At least for now, there are very few hospitals in China that have developed this technology.

"Yes, in neuromodulation techniques, deep brain stimulation, spinal medullary stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation are more direct and valuable for in-depth research than traditional methods."

Zhao Heng said very confidently.

"Well, Xiao Zhao, tell me more about it."

The more Gao Jun listened, his eyes brightened, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"I think that for vegetative people who have been asleep for many years and have little hope of waking up, instead of pinning on the ethereal self-recovery, it is better to start directly from the stimulation of the brain and spinal cord."

Zhao Heng said very firmly.
