International Gastroenterology Congress in London, England.
Professor Gregory, chairman of the organizing committee and director of the gastroenterology department at Wellington Hospital, specially prepared half a day for Chinese doctors to talk about Helicobacter pylori, as well as its clinical treatment and medication.
He had a hunch that this would be a groundbreaking breakthrough in digestive diseases and a major opportunity to change the clinical treatment of the digestive department.
This arrangement is completely an exception. You have to know that during the three-day conference, countless experts and professors want to make public the topics they are researching. This is a symbol of seniority, status and influence.
In a half-day meeting, each expert's speech should not exceed 40 minutes.
In order to ensure accurate timing, a countdown alarm clock was placed on the podium. When the time was up, a bell would ring next to the venue. In principle, no more than 5 minutes would be given.
This time, the mysterious Chinese doctor was assigned a whole morning, more than three hours, which made the top experts from various countries extremely excited.
Amidst everyone's curious and expectant eyes, China's academic special session began.
The first person to speak on stage was Chen Chun. Her spoken English had fully met the requirements for a speech after daily communication with two Australian doctors and several months of training by an English teacher from Yuezhou Teachers College.
When a young female doctor in a professional suit walked onto the stage with a smile on her face, the doctors from various countries in the audience burst into applause and exclaimed in amazement.
Everyone is greeting their God in their hearts. Is that right?
This girl, who looks only in her 20s, is actually the first author of four papers published in The Lancet? She is the main researcher on this project?
Are all doctors in China so young and capable?
Don't forget that almost all the people at this conference are top doctors and professors from top hospitals around the world, including Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hospital and other famous hospitals.
The youngest doctors are in their forties or fifties, and many are even in their sixties or seventies before they have the opportunity to enter this conference and be qualified to sit down and attend the meeting. This is the result of a lifetime of hard work.
The fact that this Chinese female doctor is so young and yet is qualified to give a speech on stage has made countless doctors' heads buzz, and they are full of interest and curiosity about Dr. Chen's speech.
They have all read the papers, and now they want to hear Dr. Hua’s presentation in person and have him answer various questions from the conference.
Is Chen Chun nervous? Of course she is, but she is also very well prepared.
Chen Xia found all the papers related to Helicobacter pylori from the library of the Space Hospital.
The two siblings carefully selected and selected, going through all the questions that might be asked in the meeting to ensure that there were no mistakes.
The brother and sister also prepared many screenshots before and after the gastroscopy treatment, pictures of the shape of Helicobacter pylori under the microscope, and many lists of various graphics drawn based on experimental data.
It can be said that the preparations have been thoroughly carried out. These papers are all the research results of medical experts from all over the world in the past few decades. They can be said to be the essence of the essence.
How could it be possible to fail at the conference?
Chen Xia personally served as her assistant, and he had to keep changing the slides as her speech progressed.
In the 1980s, there were no PPTs or computer projectors. All slides had to be prepared in advance and then updated manually one by one, which was very inconvenient and required the speaker and assistant to work together in harmony.
Chen Chun stood in front of the podium and took a deep breath. Her young face was full of confidence and stubbornness. This was the first time that a Chinese doctor appeared at a mainstream academic conference in the world. She had no reason to fail.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Chen Chun, a gastroenterologist from China. Today, my colleagues and I, invited by Professor Gregory, are present at this most important gastroenterology conference for the first time. I'm deeply honored. My speech today will be on Helicobacter pylori..."
(No more water words)
Chen Chun's speech lasted a full 1.5 hours.
It provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction, starting from how she and her colleagues discovered an unidentified bacillus in the gastric mucosa of patients with stomach diseases, to how they confirmed through experiments the damage caused by this bacillus to the stomach, and then to how they invented proton pump inhibitors and quadruple bactericidal therapy for this bacillus.
The difference between this kind of speech and a thesis is that a thesis is rigorous and has a word limit.
A speech is an active process of narration, so Chen Chun clearly explained the various problems encountered in daily clinical practice, the various difficulties encountered in experiments, and her and her colleagues' ideas for solving the problems.
It was a good lesson for more than 300 gastroenterologists from various countries present at the scene.
After hearing this, many doctors felt as if they had suddenly realized something. After all, the existence of unknown bacteria in gastric acid had been discovered a long time ago, but no one had conducted in-depth research on it. Or, perhaps some people were researching it, but their progress was not as fast as that of Chen Chun's team.
This is just like solving a case. When all the evidence cannot be perfectly connected, doesn't it prove that the Chinese doctors are indeed conducting experiments in a rigorous and scientific way?
Rather than what some people had previously speculated, this was academic fraud or exaggeration of the facts.
Professor Gregory sat on the stage, watching the young Chinese doctor in front of him speaking in English throughout, and he felt quite emotional.
Personally, he has completely believed in the research of Chinese doctors, but his personal belief is useless. After all, it is useless if this revolutionary innovation does not get recognition from experts from various countries and the International Committee of Gastroenterology.
As soon as Chen Chun finished his speech, everyone just gave him polite applause, and many people were whispering to each other, obviously not very convinced.
Professor Gregory invited Chen Chun to sit next to him and said into the microphone, "Next, does anyone have any questions?"
Professor Harrison from the Mayo Clinic was the first to raise his hand:
"Dear Dr. Chen Chun, hello. I'd like to ask, how many clinical trials have you conducted? What is the overall cure rate?"
"Hello, Professor Harrison. So far, we have conducted 5,000 clinical trials in six hospitals. These patients include those with common gastritis, gastric ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, etc.
Among these 5,000 patients, 90% were found to have Helicobacter pylori, meaning that 4,500 patients had this bacterium in their gastric tissue specimens.
Then, after two weeks of full, adequate, and systematic treatment with our quadruple therapy, the clinical symptom improvement rate reached 95%, and the Helicobacter pylori eradication rate reached 80%."
Wow, the audience exploded again.
