Chapter 308 Killing two birds with one stone
There are no wonders in the world that a piece of intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus can actually travel around in the spinal canal.
If Director Qin hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would definitely not have believed how big the spinal canal was and how such a large piece of tissue could be running around.
Yang Ping explained the case to Xiao Su all the way. Xiao Su became more and more interested as he listened, and pestered Yang Ping to break the casserole and ask the truth.
Just after returning to the department, Director Qin personally called to express his thanks and asked to make an appointment with Yang Ping for dinner. His tone was extremely humble and polite.
To get closer, it seems that you have to eat. This kind of socializing is not in line with the quiet personality of Yang Ping, but when you are in the world, you can't help yourself.
In the afternoon, I made an appointment with Xiao Guoqiang for a review. His nerves have grown beyond his wrist and reached the back of his palm. There is no sign of entering a plateau. There is great hope for restoring the sensory and motor functions of his entire hand.
Thirty years ago, this kind of case could be published in top international magazines. But it is no longer possible. Times are different, and the trend of technology is no longer here.
Due to the necessary debridement of the severed ends of the blood vessels and nerves during the operation, and in order to reduce the suture tension of the blood vessels and nerves, the bone was shortened during the replantation.
Each interface is shortened a little, and the entire right upper limb is about five centimeters shorter than the left side, which looks very uncoordinated in appearance.
But Xiao Guoqiang didn't care. He was satisfied to be able to save this arm. A shorter arm would be better than nothing.
After Yang Ping examined Xiao Guoqiang, he told him: "In the future, we can do orthopedics to lengthen the forearm, palm and fingers in proportion, so that the right upper limb can return to normal length, but this is not possible now, and we will have to wait for at least a year."< br>
"Can it be extended? You said my arm can be as long as the left side?" Xiao Guoqiang didn't believe it, thinking that Dr. Yang was comforting him.
But Xiao Guoqiang knows that Dr. Yang never lies in medicine. If he can do this, he can get an arm with no major flaws in appearance.
"Don't be too happy. We have to wait until your nerve function has fully recovered. It is still unknown whether the nerves can survive this last distance. The success rate is very high, but it does not rule out stopping at a certain point." Yang Ping's words were very objective. He had an overall idea in mind for Xiao Guoqiang's treatment, and he made progress step by step.
"I'm getting married on May 1st, and I invite everyone to join in the fun." Xiao Guoqiang said happily, turning to look at his gentle and considerate fiancée next to him.
The shy elementary school teacher next to her had blushing cheeks and a shy look. Heroes and beauties have always been paired with each other since ancient times. It’s a good thing!
"Continue to do functional training in the rehabilitation department until the neurological function is completely restored." Yang Ping told him.
Xiao Guoqiang is very obedient. He also wants to return to his job as soon as possible. Although it is dangerous, he likes this job very much and has a sense of honor in doing it.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the QQ mailbox on my mobile phone prompted a new email.
Yang Ping opened it and saw that it was not spam, but emails from AJSM in the United States. There were actually three emails, all of which were AJSM review reply emails.
One was received just now, and the other two were received at around 12 noon and 1 noon respectively, but I didn't pay attention to check them.
Converted to American time, it should be around 12pm, 1am, or 5am.
Are all Americans so desperate? Not sleeping?
The responses from the three review editors were brief:
"Great, you solved a difficult problem."
"Incredible, you summarized the data we wanted."
"Congratulations to you and congratulations to me. I haven't seen such a manuscript for a long time."
The three editors did not have many comments on the article, but only corrected some grammatical habits and said they would arrange for publication as soon as possible.
AJSM generally has an average review period of three months. It has only been one month now, and the editor has responded and said that it will be published as soon as possible. Yang Ping suspected that it was submitted to a fake journal with high imitation.
One of the reviewers turned out to be Professor Robert. Yang Ping searched for Professor Robert's personal information. This professor is the director of the Sports Medicine Center at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, USA, and the current president of the North American Society of Sports Medicine and Arthroscopic Surgery.
AJSM, the journal with the highest impact factor in orthopedics, actually had two articles hit at once. This is unprecedented.
Yang Ping found Song Zimo and told him: "The AJSM review editor has received a reply. Both manuscripts have been approved at the same time. The editor said that they will be published as soon as possible."
Song Zimo also didn't believe it: "AJSM? You replied now. You're not mistaken. There are many fake magazines that defraud people of money. Wouldn't they invest in high imitations? Didn't they ask you for US dollars?"
These days, doctors have also become the target of scammers, because promotion to professional titles requires a paper. Many doctors are so busy in clinical practice that they have no time to write papers.
what to do? purchase!
Where there is demand, there is a market. This is already an open secret. The snow-filled business cards near the examination room of each professional title exam show how popular the market is.
Some scammers have also introduced new methods, from journals to websites, to create a complete set of fakes. It is said that the printing paper of journals is better than the real ones.
Moreover, packaged prices are introduced. As long as you spend a few thousand dollars, your paper can be successfully published, claimed to be searchable online, and you can be promoted to a professional title without any worries.
For doctors who don't usually publish papers, this is such a worry-free thing. Whoever gives this money is not making money. They believe it is true, so they send the money.
They are very trustworthy, publishing papers on time, and pretending to send you journals. The papers can indeed be found on the high imitation website.
It was only when I was promoted to a professional title that I found out that this journal was actually a fake and a high imitation.
Yang Ping showed Song Zimo his email address. Song Zimo helped collect the information. Song Zimo checked it carefully again and found it was accurate. A top student whose doctoral dissertation was published in The Lancet would not make such a low-level mistake. If the journal is genuine, it's done and kills two birds with one stone!
ox!
Song Zimo held out two thumbs.
Fatty Liang is a little troubled. There are rumors in the hospital that he chased the stewardess on the plane.
What a grievance. Fatty Liang just thought she was beautiful, so he looked at her a few more times, and then he was moved and asked for a glass of orange juice. He was said to be chasing the stewardess, and finally chasing her was said to be harassment.
The romantic partner who originally had potential for love now begins to doubt Fatty Liang's character, and the slightest possibility of success is strangled in the cradle.
These people are really brainless. If a toad wants to eat swan meat, they don't care about the quality of the toad. If Song Zimo chases the stewardess, this may be true. Fatty Liang, this toad, looks like this...
But what kind of intelligence does rumors require? Just follow them for fun.
"Brother, let me investigate this matter carefully for you. If anyone reveals it, I will slap him in the mouth." Zhang Lin comforted.
Yang Ping saw the fat man's frustrated look: "Fat man, why bother? I've been sulking these past few days. According to me, you have to thank this person. This rumor has invisibly increased your worth. It is simply tailor-made for you. matrimonial ads ”
The fat man thought about it, indeed, doesn't this imply his infinite charm? The sorrow just disappeared immediately, you just let it be strong, and the breeze blew over the hills.
"Yes, senior brother is right, you have to thank this person -" Zhang Lin supported this view.
Yang Ping glanced at him, and Zhang Lin immediately moved away, not daring to speak.
Director Han appeared at the door of his office. Old Han is now resident at the Orthopedic Research Institute and rarely comes here.
"Come on, come on, Xiao Yang, sit down for a while!"
Lao Han made a special trip to see Yang Ping. The Ph.D. exam was about to start. He wanted to give Yang Ping two weeks of leave and let him take a surprise test. After all, the Ph.D. exam required a lot of things, and English alone would stump many people.
"The Ph.D. exam is about to start. How long do you want to take leave? Just ask me and I will approve it. You will get good results in the exam." Old Han fumbled for tea leaves.
"Just some Sabah black tea, you bought it, let's try it together."
This was brought by Yang Ping to Malaysia for surgery, and Lao Han was not willing to open it yet.
"No need to take a vacation. Just go to work as usual and take two days off during the exam." Yang Ping hasn't thought about taking a vacation yet.
In fact, I have been preparing for a long time to take any kind of vacation. Besides, I really need to strengthen my review, enter the system space, and concentrate on reading books for a few months. Isn't it just a matter of thousands of points? Now I am a person who is short of points.
At first, I thought this system was weak, but later on I realized that this system is Thanos-level. The system library alone can make learning unlimited.
"No vacation? I see that you are doing surgery in the department every day, and you usually fall asleep at noon. I have never seen you reading, so you go back to read at that time in the evening. How can you do it? I see that you are energetic in the morning, and it doesn't look like you are working overtime to read. You said you could take the exam yourself, but I didn’t help you get an exemption from the exam this time?" Lao Han expressed his worries. Strong hands-on ability does not mean strong test-taking ability.
"Don't worry, it's just a Ph.D. exam. It's just a few papers, how difficult can it be." Yang Ping comforted Lao Han.
Lao Han stared at him, his tone as domineering as if he was performing surgery.
"Drink tea, is this black tea okay?" Yang Ping was panicked by him.
Old Han looked away: "You really don't need to take a vacation?"
"No need!" Yang Ping calmly said.
"How is the paper? Is there any news?" Every time Lao Han comes here, it is a regular supervision of the work.
"The two articles submitted to AJSM have been reviewed and approved. The editor said they would be published as soon as possible." Yang Ping said lightly.
"Both articles passed?" Old Han thought he was joking.
AJSM, the journal at the top of the orthopedic pyramid, one article is already good enough, but two articles hit it at the same time? How is it possible.
But there are a lot of things that I have never seen before for this kid. He has never seen many surgeries before. He is better than anyone else. For such an abnormal person, you have to be more open-minded.
"After you are admitted to the Ph.D. and your thesis is published, I will help you discuss with Dean Xia how to recruit you to a lower-level position."
Director Han said slowly.
Recruitment from lower positions to higher positions is more common in private hospitals or general tertiary hospitals. There are relatively few provincial teaching tertiary hospitals. According to the normal process, Yang Ping wants to be promoted to deputy senior position in advance. I am afraid that these papers are not enough.
If there were papers in Science and Nature, it would be about the same, but these magazines generally publish basic research results and rarely publish clinical articles.
"You really don't need to take a vacation?" Director Han confirmed again.
Yang Ping was very sure: “It’s really not necessary!”
