The Godfather of Surgery

In the days after Yang Ping returned to China, Johannesson reported to Yang Ping every day the condition of his hemisphere brain. He recovered well after the operation and could be discharged from the hospital soon.

During the past few days when he was out, Yang Ping didn't pay attention to the replies to his submissions. Now that he was back, he also wanted to see if there was any good news, so he opened his mailbox and found a new email from Germany.

This email is not a formal reply email from the journal Science, but a personal email from Professor Maninstein.

"Dear Professor Yang Ping: All three papers have been studied. Please forgive my presumption and impulsiveness. This is not a reply to your manuscript from the "Science" journal, but my private reply, which only represents my personal opinion. Yours The innovation of this paper is shocking. It will usher in the era of somatic cell cloning of organs. Although this is just the beginning, I believe that if we continue along this path, ten, twenty, or thirty years from now , there will definitely be a breakthrough in organ cloning. In view of the great significance of the paper, I have recommended all three papers to the editor-in-chief so that they can publish them as quickly as possible, and preferably one of them will be a cover article. I hope we will have more in the future We have the opportunity to meet. Before meeting, I would like to keep communicating with you by email. Charité Medical School in Germany, Maninstein."

So, the three papers submitted to Science have already won the prize?

It seems that Maninstein lived up to his reputation and was indeed a genius. He could see the academic value of the paper at a glance and even saw the future direction of the core academic results of the paper.

It is said that Maninstein is now obsessed with head transplant surgery. Of course, he is different from other doctors who claim to have a head transplant surgery. He does not simply perform a head transplant. He must be fully prepared for the operation.

The biggest problem in head transplant surgery is the processing of nerve connections. If this problem cannot be dealt with, the head transplant operation will not be successful and will be just a farce.

Maninstein's latest project is to study non-destructive restorative repair of nerves. He is trying to use a certain technology to repair the broken nerves at the injured site, and restore the anatomy of the nerve at the injured site, so that function can be restored.

It has become a consensus and common sense that nerves cannot be repaired. They can only rely on the axons of nerve cells to re-grow until they reach the target area. All doctors and scientists conduct research by promoting the growth of nerve axons.

But Maninstein tried to break this conclusion. He wanted to perform non-destructive reduction repair of nerves. He hoped to use a cell biological welding technology to achieve this goal. It is said that animal experiments have made certain progress.

If Maninstein's project can be successful, then all paraplegic patients with spinal cord injuries and peripheral nerve injury patients can return to normal in the future. Of course, Maninstein's head transplant surgery will also be successful.

Head transplant surgery? Non-destructive reductive repair of nerve rupture?

Yang Ping thought of what August said and felt that Maninstein was a medical geek. His ideas were so crazy and deviant. He could make this friend.

So Yang Ping replied an email to Professor Maninstein, saying that he could maintain email communication.

Dean Xia is very efficient. Yang Ping's doctorate graduated early, and the chief physician and doctoral supervisor have all completed the procedures and have been implemented. Even the doctor's introduction on the comprehensive surgery wall and the doctor's introduction on the official website of Sanbo Hospital have also been updated. The competition for the remaining outstanding young talents has also become fierce.

In the conference room of Nandu Medical University, there was endless debate about the quota for outstanding students, and the atmosphere was very tense.

Currently, there is only one quota, and there is only one quota in the entire Nandu Department. Who should this quota be given to, Yang Ping or Guan Ruyan? The professors are arguing endlessly. After all, both of them meet the conditions. Yang Ping has greater potential, but Guan Ruyan’s academic The results are more fruitful.

Professor Su and Vice President Ding had to avoid such meetings because of their kinship with the parties involved. However, it was inevitable that the opinions of the meeting members would be affected by them, so the meeting members were naturally divided into three parts. One part had a good personal relationship with Professor Su, and the other One part is Vice President Ding’s personal network resources, and the third part is the members who are not influenced by personal relationships and can express their opinions objectively.

"Ding Ruyan is a scholar studying in Germany and has a doctorate from Heidelberg University. He has published two CNS and 32 SCI papers and has chaired five national scientific research projects. I don't think there is any controversy about this quota. Who else has this achievement?" Nan Du Shi Qingxian, director of the Science and Technology Department of the Medical University, spoke.

Professor Zou, the deputy dean of the attached first school, cleared his throat: "Professor Ding has made great academic achievements and is a rare talent. This quota should be given to him. However, I feel that if the quota is handled so lightly, it will violate the principle of fairness and justice. Opportunities must also be given to other competitors. For example, Professor Yang from Sanbo Hospital, although young, has already published one CNS article and ten SCI articles. He is not as numerous as Guan Ruyan, but his CNS citations are much higher than Guan Ruyan's. In CNS, the number of citations of one article is much higher than the cumulative number of citations of his two articles. As for SCI, Professor Yang’s papers are all in top journals, and the quality of the journals is obviously higher than that of Guan Ruyan. One wins by quantity, and the other wins by quality. , I think Yang Ping is even better and can definitely get this spot."

These two people are clear-cut and unambiguous.

"With all due respect, Sanbo Hospital was not an affiliated hospital of our Nandu Medical University before. It has only recently been included in the Nandu Department. It may be a bit early for them to take our quota. Let's wait and see in a few years. Our own young people from Nandu Medical University should be given priority. "Professor Gu Dehan from Nandu Medical University spoke quickly.

Professor He, director of the Digital Medicine Laboratory, disagrees with this statement: "Sooner or later, Sanbo Hospital is now actually an affiliated hospital of our Nandu Medical University. If we treat it in a different light because of this, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the unity of the entire Nandu Department. I I think everyone should be treated equally and compete fairly.”

Principal Rao has not spoken. He is an upright person and does not want to affect others or even influence the outcome because of his speech.

From a personal point of view, Principal Rao prefers Yang Ping. He feels that this young man has a bright future. If he can give some encouragement, it will further stimulate his confidence and passion. Principal Rao is also worried that Yang Ping will go abroad one day, so he wants to provide these as soon as possible. Encourage talent retention.

Although Guan Ruyan is also excellent, he is still far behind Yang Ping. Principal Rao knows this well. Yang Ping is less than thirty years old and already has a CNS and 10 SCI articles in top journals. This kind of academic performance is compared to his age. It’s already very outrageous.

Everyone spoke enthusiastically. Anyway, each had their own reasons, and the number of supporters of the two was about the same. There would be no results if this discussion continued.

Principal Rao said: "Let's see, everyone is familiar with the two candidates. If you are not familiar with it, you can check the information at hand. You can also ask others and inquire more. The list will be finalized by the end of this month, and the list will be finalized next month." Submit the list, so everyone thinks carefully about it, and we will hold a meeting next week to vote and determine the list based on the number of votes."

"I agree!" Professor Shi Qingxian raised his hand in agreement.

Sanbo Hospital is a newly added affiliated hospital, and it will definitely not be able to compete with the Nandu Medical University Headquarters. There is still a week left, and he will lobby everyone by then. As long as the votes of experts from the Nandu Medical University Headquarters are implemented, the matter will be sure to win. After all, the Nandu Medical University Headquarters has the most experts.

Since the debate was endless and there was no clear trend, this was the only way to go. Professor Zou also agreed to vote to determine the list.

Professor Zou didn't feel panic at all. He roped in representatives from several affiliated colleges, and through his classmates' relationships, he managed to win over several professors from the main department. It was hard to say who would win.
