Owen, the editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery, once again received a paper from the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital with an expression as constipated.

It is very remarkable for other hospitals or medical research institutions to submit several papers to top medical journals like theirs in a year.

You must know that it can be published every year in the four major medical journals: New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery (NEJM), Lancet, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and Eagle Country Medical Journal (BMJ).

There are very few journal articles.

Because there are few, they are precious.

Among them, the impact factor of the "New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery" reached 176.097 points. Although it is not the top, it is still the top.

The domestic journal with the highest impact factor is "Cell Research", known as the "Light of National Journal", with an impact factor of only 46.297 points.

At present, the medical journal with the highest impact factor in China is 10.526. Generally, when teachers publish papers, an impact factor of about 5 is considered good, and if it is higher than 10, it is extraordinary.

The impact factor has become an important indicator in China for academic evaluation, student graduation, professional title evaluation, literature research, journal evaluation, etc.

Therefore, the impact factor determines a doctor's academic future, and even his political future. What's the use of doing a good surgery? What's the use of having 200 outpatients a day? Can you write a paper?

This also shows how difficult it is to publish papers in these four top medical journals.

There are some PPT doctors in the hospital. If you ask them to see a doctor, they won't know how to do it. But if you ask them to write a paper, they will submit it with a stroke of their pen and it will be successful.

Then the deputy chief physician or the attending physician will be the one who will see the doctor specially, but will not be able to write papers...

Those who don’t know how to see a doctor, but are particularly good at writing papers are chief physicians and doctoral supervisors...

This phenomenon is not only true at home, but also abroad.

Of course, the situation abroad is slightly better, because foreign doctors can be divided into clinical type and scientific research type. The two lines have different directions and different remuneration.

Regardless of whether you are domestic or foreign, very few want to submit articles to top international medical journals, and even fewer are accepted for publication.

But whether it is the Mayo Clinic or the Cliff Clinic, which hospital is like the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital? The submission of papers is the same as sending a telegram. How many papers a month?

No matter how close the relationship between Owen and Chen Qi, the editor-in-chief of the Asia region of the New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery, and no matter how big the red envelope they receive, they are still a little confused when faced with so many manuscripts.

Owen turned over the pages one by one:

"Research on Hermaphroditism with Simultaneous XX Functions", "Surgical Exploration of True Hermaphroditism", "Invention of New Plastic Surgery Fillers", "Gene Analysis of Chimera Phenomenon", "The Importance of Gene Genetics in Clinic",

"Diagnosis and Treatment of Klinefelter Syndrome", "Discovery of Cat Meowing Syndrome", "Chromosome Abnormalities in Tourette Syndrome", etc.

All of these papers are groundbreaking, and most of them are even the first discoveries of humans. Each of them meets the requirements for publication.

But the question is, is this paper true or false?

If it is true, will this Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital go to heaven?

This is a scientific research discovery and the invention of a new technique. Others may not be able to complete a project in their entire life. Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is engaged in wholesale, publishing more than ten articles a year?

If it is false, it would be a major accident if these papers were published.

As editor-in-chief, Irving will not only have to take responsibility and step down, but will also be ridiculed by his peers for the rest of his life, and will not even be able to find a job.

So Irving didn't want to take risks, but faced with Chen Qi, the director of Yuezhong Hospital, and the brilliance of his paper, Irving was unwilling to give up.

So Irving decided to go to the editor-in-chief Gabrielleth. After all, they were on the same line, which was equivalent to an alliance, and they would never harm him.

Gabrielleth sat behind his desk, reading the papers one by one, sometimes frowning, sometimes applauding.

After he read all the papers from the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Shet, it's like a fucking dream..."

Then Editor-in-Chief Gabrielleth looked at Owen again: "How authentic do you think these papers are? What is the plagiarism check rate of these papers?"

Owen shrugged:

"Although you may not believe it, these papers don't need to be checked for plagiarism at all, because the diseases in their papers are all discovered for the first time. For example, this true hermaphroditism with XX function is the only case in the world that has been discovered so far.

There is also this paper. The chimera phenomenon mentioned above has been discovered a long time ago, but the concept of chimerism was first proposed by the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. They are also the first hospital in the world to conduct genetic testing for chimeras. They are also

Original.

Similarly, for example, in this article, we have heard of cat meowing syndrome before, but the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital was also the first to discover chromosomal abnormalities through genetic testing and write a paper on it, so there is no need to check for plagiarism because they are NO.1.

"

Editor-in-chief Gabrielleth scratched his fluffy hair and said speechlessly:

"Does China have a damn genetic testing center? Isn't this something only the European and American medical circles are playing with? This is simply unbelievable."

Owen pointed to the author column and said: "There is help from Japan's Sysmex Genetics Company behind this, so technically there should be no possibility of fraud."

Editor-in-chief Gabrielleth threw the paper on the table and looked at Owen:

"Then what is your purpose of coming to me?"

Owen was a little embarrassed: "There are too many papers. I don't know how to format them. If one or two papers from the Vietnam-China Hospital are published in each issue, then we may really become a joke in the medical circle and feel that we are being copied by China."

The doctor was bribed."

This principle is similar to that of an essay competition. Every time the winning authors are named by just the same person, the credibility of this essay competition is lost. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a shady comparison.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And there are only so many pages in medical journals. You always have a lot of content taken up by the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, so what should you do with other papers?

A single beautiful branch is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming and a garden is full of spring. These foreigners also understand.

But if they don’t publish a paper to the Vietnam Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, even if they pretend that the review period takes 6 months or 8 months, when the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine reacts, they will submit it to other medical journals, and they will still suffer the loss.

England Journal.

what to do?

Editor-in-Chief Gabrielleth thought for a moment and came up with an idea:

"This matter is easy to handle. We can publish a supplement of the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Now we have 10 papers in hand. We can definitely publish a supplement. Oh no, it should be a special issue. Put all the papers in it and solve it in one go.

All published papers were addressed.”

Owen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is a good idea, but it's too flattering to the Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital."

Being able to publish a special issue of the New England Journal of Medicine is definitely a matter of honor. Only a few top hospitals in history have such qualifications.

Editor-in-chief Gabrielleth gritted his teeth:

"I also have an idea, that is, before publishing a special issue, we have to test the quality of the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. First, to see if their genetic testing level is internationally leading.

In addition, if it is useless to discover a disease, you still have to treat the disease, right? Only in this way can you show your power and convince your colleagues around the world. I just happened to have a few patients on hand and asked them to transfer them to the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital."

Editor-in-chief Gabrielleth was originally the dean of the Massachusetts Medical School and a top international medical scientist. The patients he could treat could not be simple patients.

Owen was also very interested: "Oh, what kind of patient is he? It's too simple. For Hua Guochen, it's just delivering food."

Editor-in-chief Gabrielleth smiled:

"Then you underestimate me too much. Here, here is a photo of the patient."

After saying that, Gabrielleth took out two photos from the drawer. Owen took them over and took a look and gasped:

"Farke, Mr. Gabrielleth, are you so cruel?"

The two photos are of two patients:

The first photo is of a 5-year-old Caucasian girl. The upper body is normal, but the two legs of the lower body are glued together, and only the two feet are separated to both sides.

The second photo is even more cruel, it is a pair of conjoined twins, the babies' bodies are connected face to face, but each has its own limbs and head."

Editor-in-chief Gabrielleth introduced next to him:

"Both patients have unknown genetic diseases. Otherwise, they would not be born with such freaks. Therefore, they were sent to Chen for research and asked him to give an answer and cure them."

"Separation?"

"Yes, it means separation surgery. For example, this little girl was born with her legs adhering together. What's more fatal is that her bladder, large intestine, most of her kidneys and other organs are missing, which brings great difficulties to her operation.

challenge.

The situation of these conjoined twins is more complicated. They are only 4 months old now, and their parents request that they be separated as early as possible to avoid any impact on their physical and mental health in the future.

The separation of these conjoined twins was equally complex. The two babies shared a stomach and liver, as well as part of the intestines and bile ducts. It was easy to separate the body, but difficult to separate the internal organs.

Historically, no separation surgery has been successful in any country, but surgery for this kind of genetic malformation has always been a blank space. Therefore, no hospital is willing to take over these two patients, let alone perform surgery.

Hua Guo Chen and Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital are very powerful. Let them treat them. As long as they can cure these two patients and find out what the genetic defects are, I can guarantee that the special issue of Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital will be published as soon as possible.

hair.

Mr. Owen, do you think my method is feasible?"

Owen shook his head after hearing this:

"Mr. Editor-in-Chief Gabrielleth, I think you must be crazy. There are so many patients in the United States that even the top hospitals are unwilling to take over. You want a Chinese hospital to conduct research and surgery. This, this is a bit embarrassing.

.”

Gabrielleth lit a cigar and spit it out:

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. China has little status in the mainstream medical community, and Chinese doctors have few academic publications.

Chen Qi, or Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, if they want to integrate into the mainstream medical community, or even have a place in the mainstream medical community, they have to work harder than others, and they must be able to do surgeries that others cannot do, and research things that others have not done.

In the medical field, you can cure diseases that others don’t see well.
