When Chen Xia arrived at the laboratory, Chen Chun was observing alone under the microscope, and everyone else had already left work.
"Sister, don't work too hard. Come, my mother-in-law made you some chicken soup. It's delicious."
When Chen Chun saw his brother coming, he waved excitedly:
"Quick, quick, come and take a look at the bacteria under the microscope. We just extracted a sample from the gastric mucosa today, and we found another unidentified bacillus."
Chen Xia took a look and saw under the microscope that there were indeed long, spiral-shaped unknown bacteria with two long tentacles on their heads.
"Well? Is this unknown bacillus the Helicobacter pylori you mentioned?"
"Yes, this is it."
Chen Xia said this with certainty, because there was a picture of this bacillus in the "Medical Microbiology" textbook and it could be recognized at a glance. He had done enough homework before.
"But sister, what you saw is just one type. Helicobacter pylori includes five types: Helicobacter canis, Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, Helicobacter niger, Helicobacter rapuni, and Helicobacter salomonii. You must carefully distinguish them when you go. This is also the key to our defeating those foreign researchers."
This is indeed the key.
Because others can only observe and discover one related bacillus now, China will be able to provide 5 types of Helicobacter pylori. Doesn’t this mean that domestic research is ahead of Australia?
Don't think that foreign countries are a paradise where everyone is innocent. Academic corruption is just as dark and serious in European and American countries. Everything is about interests. Chen Xia must ensure that the evidence is foolproof.
Chen Chun was very suspicious: "How come it even has a name? Has it been thoroughly studied abroad long ago? Then what are we still researching?"
Chen Xia really wanted to slap himself in the face. How could he blurt out the name? He was so stupid.
But for men, lying is a basic skill, and the key is to make up for it quickly.
"Sister, these haven't been discovered abroad. I chose the names for easy translation into foreign languages. Oh, and I've got pictures of these bacteria ready for you. I'll give them to you when the time comes. Just look for them by looking at them."
Chen Chun felt that her brother was really mysterious, but since he was her closest relative, she would pretend to be ignorant unless he said anything.
At least a never-before-seen bacillus was found in the patient's gastric mucosa. She asked all the professors at the university to look at it, and they all said they had never seen it before. This proved that her brother's previous theory was valid.
This is a new type of pathogenic bacteria that has not yet been announced and is of epoch-making significance.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. So what did you mean by the paper you mentioned earlier?"
"What I mean is, since you have already found this bacillus in gastric mucosal biopsy specimens from different patients, you must publish a paper before the end of this year. I have already thought of the title: 'Unidentified Campylobacter Found in the Stomachs of Patients with Gastritis and Peptic Ulcer'.
It's April now, and I've asked you to give me two months to write this first paper. It should first be published in our domestic journal, Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine. Then I'll have my aunt find a way to submit it to The Lancet."
Chen Chun was a little puzzled. "Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it better to do more experiments to be on the safe side?"
"Hey, big sister, time is running out. My colleagues abroad are also studying this bacillus. If they publish a paper first, we will become followers and the whole research will be meaningless.
Just like how everyone only remembers the highest peak in the world, but few can name the second highest, we must seize the initiative and bring glory to our country."
Chen Xia had to be anxious because according to the information Chen Xia had, the two Australian doctors in history would publish the famous paper "Unidentified Campylobacter found in the stomachs of patients with gastritis and peptic ulcer" in The Lancet next year.
Now the two sides are actually in a competition. Whoever speaks first will take the initiative.
It may not be published in The Lancet, but as long as it is published in a domestic medical journal, when the two parties go to court, Chen Xia will definitely win. After all, the publication time is there and no one can deny it.
Besides, The Lancet is an English medical journal, and Hong Kong, where the Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company is located, is also a colony of England. As the sovereign country, it will always take some care of it.
If it really doesn't work, money will pave the way. As long as you have money, you can always find such a broker.
The Lancet is one of the four internationally recognized comprehensive medical journals with an impact factor of 60. It is one of the top international journals. When Chen Chun and Xuan Yongda, including the two hospitals behind them, are published, they will surely cause a sensation in the international medical circle.
If it were 2020, before Chen Xia was reborn, anyone who could publish a paper in The Lancet would definitely be promoted and make a fortune immediately, and being promoted to chief physician would be a piece of cake.
Domestic medical journals are basically unread, and the existence of these journals is just feeding a group of parasites.
In the hospital, a doctor must write a paper if he wants to be promoted. The price of each paper is clearly marked. As long as you pay the money, someone will write it for you and guarantee its publication. The service is excellent.
Therefore, the real bigwigs submit their papers directly to internationally renowned journals, and will not even give Chinese journals a second look.
Chen Xia's interception was a bit unfair to the two Australian doctors.
There was no way around it. At that time, they had no capital support and were pure soft persimmons. Chen Xia could only squeeze them.
If it were any other famous medical laboratory or pharmaceutical company, it would be like a tiger's butt, and Chen Xia would not dare to touch it. Now he and his Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company are still standard small shrimps that cannot withstand the storms.
Seeing that his younger brother was so eager to speak, Chen Chun nodded and agreed.
If you are simply writing a discovery paper, it is not difficult, and there is no need for the research team to falsify the facts, as the findings under the microscope are obvious.
What the research team needs to do now is to extract more samples from specific patients to confirm the existence of the bacillus. The Provincial First Hospital and Yuezhou People's Hospital are not short of patients, and the gastroscope donated by Xiangjiang is also in place, so there is no big problem.
In fact, Chen Chun can write this paper now. He just needs to fill in the data. There is no other way. Copying homework is so simple and there is no difficulty at all.
Just like that, in the laboratory, Chen Chun was happily eating dessert while Chen Xia was helping to organize the data. The scene was very harmonious.
"By the way, sister, when are you and your brother-in-law getting married?"
Chen Chun blushed all of a sudden, "Ah, this, this, we haven't thought about it yet..."
"Hurry up, I'll take care of the house and appliances when the time comes."
Chen Chun bit the spoon in his mouth, and his mind suddenly flew to Minglu by the West Lake.
