Chapter 1139 Academy of Medical Sciences

After news of the reorganization of the Sanbo Institute, Sanbo Hospital, and Nandu Medical University and its affiliated hospitals spread, there were both welcome and opposition.

Change naturally evokes both welcome and opposition; those who benefit from it will naturally welcome it, while those who lose it will naturally oppose it. Ultimately, the gains and losses must be considered from a holistic perspective.

Everyone was happy about the upgrade of the Sanbo Research Institute to the Southern Medical Academy, after all, Yang Ping's abilities were undeniable and everyone was convinced of his worth.

Sanbo Hospital and the original affiliated hospital of Nandu Medical University have become affiliated hospitals of Southern Medical Sciences. All employees of Sanbo Hospital have no objection and wholeheartedly support it. They were originally one family, just with a change in affiliation. Now that this relationship has changed, the hospital's future development will obviously be better.

As for Nandu Medical University, it has now become an affiliated university of the Southern Academy of Medical Sciences. This change is unacceptable to many professors, as it makes it seem as if Nandu Medical University, as a university, is a level below a young research institute.

The Southern Academy of Medical Sciences does not have undergraduate education in its plan. It refers to the establishment of master's and doctoral education and postdoctoral workstations. It also offers an eight-year medical education program, which selects students with extremely outstanding college entrance examination scores, with requirements exceeding those of top universities such as Tsinghua and Peking University.

In summary, this is a high-end medical education platform that cultivates top-notch medical talents for the country. In addition, it has set up a national-level talent program to cultivate top-notch medical talents with both clinical and research capabilities.

Yang Ping is generally satisfied with this reform. The platform upgrade will give him more room to perform. Judging from the strength of this reform by the higher-level leaders, he is now regarded as a strategic talent, not just an ordinary medical talent, and will play a strategic role in the national medical and scientific technology field.

Yang Ping is very rational and objective. He knows that there is currently a big gap between China and developed countries in Europe and America in medical technology. This applies to pharmaceuticals, medical devices, equipment, instruments, and so on. The research and development capabilities of a single pharmaceutical giant exceed those of the entire country in the pharmaceutical field.

To bridge this gap, a robust system must be established. Currently, the Southern Medical Academy, Nandu Medical University, Sanbo Hospital, and other affiliated hospitals form a powerful system. Relying on this robust system, Yang Ping can directly mobilize more resources and accomplish many things.

However, Yang Ping felt there were some issues with certain details. For example, designating Nandu Medical University as an affiliated university of the Southern Academy of Medical Sciences was clearly inappropriate. Yang Ping believed that the university should be the main body, with Nandu Medical University at its core. All of Nandu Medical University's laboratories should be integrated into the Southern Academy of Medical Sciences to form a research and teaching system, while Sanbo Hospital and other affiliated hospitals of Nandu Medical University should form a clinical and teaching system. Nandu Medical University should be situated within this system, serving as the core of basic medical education. Only a university is suitable as the main body.

Dean Xia and Professor Su suggested that if Yang Ping did not want the Academy of Medical Sciences to be the core institution, they could consider integrating the two institutions, making the Academy of Medical Sciences and Nandu Medical University one entity with two names, and Yang Ping as the chief scientist.

After thinking it over, Yang Ping still felt it wasn't appropriate. The integration of universities and colleges would leave some things unclear. It would be best to keep Nandu Medical University as the main body, so that the boundaries would be clear and the main body would be well-defined. Professor Su and Dean Xia accepted Yang Ping's suggestion and revised the reform plan.

After these revisions, Yang Ping became the chief professor and scientist of Nandu Medical University, and the president of the Southern Academy of Medical Sciences.

Xiao Wu brought back good news: he had persuaded Tong Yongqian's parents, and not only his parents, but his mother also agreed to include her family members in the study, including Tong Yongqian's maternal grandfather and uncle.

Zhang Lin was very surprised and wanted to know how he had persuaded Tong Yongqian's mother. At the time, his mother had tried her best to stop Tong Yongqian from continuing the examination, and her attitude was extremely firm. She almost complained about the neurologist because of this.

"What? Can you tell me how you convinced her?"

Xiao Wu poked Zhang Lin's heart with his finger: "It's simple! You need to understand her true thoughts, find out why she refused Tong Yongqian's further examination, figure out this knot, and the matter will naturally be resolved. What parent doesn't want their child to be well? Let alone a free examination, as long as there is hope for a cure, they will spend their own money to see doctors everywhere to get treatment."

"Fifth Brother, from now on you're my Fifth Brother. Can you tell me the details?"

"I won't go into the details; that's private and doesn't involve any technical issues in the research."

Director Zhang, the head of the intelligence bureau of Sanbo Hospital, loves to get to the bottom of things and can't let such matters go unnoticed. He gets itchy whenever he hears about privacy, as he has a natural passion for it.

"Fifth Brother, can you teach me a couple of tricks?" "I told you, this is private, I can't tell you. Just go and prepare for your research."

"Fifth Brother, Fifth Master, I can't sleep if you don't tell me."

"If you can't sleep, go find your wife."

Since Tong Yongqian's family agreed to participate in the research project and conduct the next stage of examination, Xiao Wu Zhang Lin decided to cheer up and work hard on the project, hoping to find some gold.

During evolution, the Y chromosome often releases non-essential genes for recombination, while essential genes remain firmly locked in their specific regions and do not participate in recombination. Disease genes are non-essential genes, and following this route, it is entirely possible for disease genes to be released for recombination. During recombination, they may enter the X gene or be lost. If they enter the X gene, they may be passed on to Tong Yongqian's mother along with the X gene, and then passed on to Tong Yongqian by his mother. In this way, Tong Yongqian has not escaped the genetic lineage at all.

To further investigate the truth, the next step is to test the two X genes of Tong Yongqian's mother to determine whether there is a disease gene on the X chromosome. If Tong Yongqian's current X gene has a disease gene, and his grandfather's Y gene has a disease gene, and the two genes are the same, then it can be proven that the disease gene on his grandfather's Y gene has undergone a rare Y gene recombination phenomenon that occurs only once in millions of years.

Yang Ping is not interested in this topic right now; he needs to focus his energy on more important things. He'll let Zhang Lin and Xiao Wu research this kind of thing slowly, since they are interested and have the energy to do it anyway.

Soon, Zhang Lin and Xiao Wu reported to Yang Ping that the genetic testing report for Tong Yongqian and his mother's family had been released. His maternal grandfather's disease gene was on the Y gene, which is why several of his uncles had this genetic disease. His mother's disease gene was on the X gene, and through this X gene, his mother passed the disease on to him, indicating that the disease gene did indeed transfer from the Y gene to the X gene.

Therefore, whether it is clinical trials or scientific research, rationality and objectivity are of utmost importance. Any emotional interference will only do bad things and will not help the progress of the matter.

If we conclude that there is a problem with the kinship between Tong Yongqian and his father simply because Tong Yongqian's mother refused to continue the examination, such a judgment is obviously emotional, superficial, not rational, objective, and lacks logical support.

The same applies to clinical work. An excellent doctor must not empathize. Empathy can only allow emotions to influence the brain's judgment, leading to serious biases.

"However, there is still a flaw in your research," Yang Ping said, pouring cold water on the excitement of Xiao Wu and Zhang Lin.

They were taken aback: the gene analysis report was right there, yet there were still loopholes?
“Logical reasoning must be rigorous and absolutely cannot have loopholes. Your research has an obvious flaw: you did not include Tong Yongqian’s maternal grandmother in your research. If Tong Yongqian’s maternal grandmother also had the same disease gene, and if Tong Yongqian’s mother inherited the diseased X gene from her maternal grandmother, then all your current research is overturned.” Yang Ping pointed out the flaw in their research without any politeness.

Yes, that is indeed a problem.

"The probability of that is very low, right?" Zhang Lin said cautiously.

Xiao Wu directly refuted: "Research must be rigorous. No matter how low the probability, it may still exist. I need to think of a way to include his grandmother in the research as well."

"Is his maternal grandmother still alive?" Zhang Lin asked again.

Xiao Wu nodded: "He's still alive, and in pretty good health."

"It seems that achieving scientific research results is not so easy. I thought it would go smoothly, but now I have encountered problems. But it's okay, we are not afraid of difficulties."

"This is what scientific research should look like. Some scientists don't achieve anything in decades. What are we compared to them?"
