Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 346 The Courage of the Boss! (The End of the Book)

The data leakage of the scientific research team is a big deal.

In fact, the best arrangement was for Lei Zhong to let someone guard him, but Lei Zhong did not do so. Zhou Yanqing hoped that he could be cleared of the charges.

Lei Zhong replied: "Thank you for your hard work, Yanqing. Since my computer is just there, it doesn't have any particularly critical core data."

"You don't have to be overly cautious."

After seeing Lei Zhong's reply, Zhou Yanqing walked out of the office and told a junior colleague in the laboratory that he had finished using the equipment and asked him to lock the door in time.

Zhou Yanqing replied after he left the room: "Director Lei, thank you for reviewing it. If there are any changes that need to be made, I can make further changes."

Of course Lei Zhong had to review it, but he did not do it himself. Instead, he handed it over to a more professional person.

Xiangya Hospital has the First Clinical College of Central South University. The First Clinical College also has medical statistics courses offered by the School of Basic Medicine, so there are statistics professors stationed here.

As the dean, Lei Zhong knew a lot about these structures, so he immediately forwarded the email sent by Zhou Yanqing to an acquaintance of his.

"Professor Meng, please take a look at this statistical result. It was also given to me by someone else. Please review it and see if this person has the ability to participate in statistical analysis." Lei Zhong sent a voice message personally.

At this point in time, the First Clinical College has not yet started.

The professor was in a state of "off-duty" to focus on scientific research, but he happened to be listening to his students' research report, so after listening to the voice, he put down his phone...

In multi-center big data clinical trials, data are precious wealth and are projects that require millions or even tens of millions of dollars of investment. They are collaborations between universities and pharmaceutical companies or large regional statistical projects. Not everyone can use the data for statistical analysis.

Even some people can only get a part of it. You just need to do your part and disperse the data so that no one will know all of it.

Zhou Yanqing went to pick up his girlfriend, but while waiting for Chen Yu to get off work, the weather was too hot. Zhou Yanqing couldn't stand the hot weather, so he found a cafe to sit in.

Start replying to messages in the group.

"Wei Yonghui, please follow up on the results of the examination of bed nine. It would be best if you get the consultation form from the cardiology department before tomorrow, in case the anesthesiology department fails the preoperative inspection and the surgery is canceled."

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhou Yanqing directly @Wei Yonghui.

Wei Yonghui is Liu Qingshan's first disciple. He is in the same class as Chen Zan and Yan Wenfeng, and all are first-year professional master's students.

This is the initial stage of resident training, and they need to perform their duties conscientiously in the ward and do a good job of daily bed management.

"Okay, Brother Qing, I'm still in the department. I sent out the consultation form at noon. The patient said that the resident director of the cardiology department had come to see him half an hour ago, but there was no time to write the consultation form." Wei Yonghui replied.

"OK." Zhou Yanqing just replied.

Liao Meng, who was on duty, replied with a picture: "The consultation results for bed 9 have come out. Referring to the patient's cardiac ultrasound, the low U wave of the electrocardiogram has no actual clinical significance. Regular heart reexamination is required..."

"The preoperative examination results for bed 12 are all out, and there are no abnormal results." Liao Meng then reported the examination results of the bed he was in charge of.

"There is no bed 4 either! We have already talked and signed today." Yan Wenfeng replied.

Only three elective surgeries are scheduled for tomorrow. The preoperative examination results have been fully traced and will basically not affect the surgical arrangements.

The patient in bed 4 is named Wang Youquan. He was the one who was being operated on by Tan Zhongyu when Zhou Yanqing was traveling outside and had argued with Tan Zhongyu and others about having Tan Zhongyu perform the surgery.

"Did you go to the Security Office for a talk?" Zhou Yanqing @Yan Wenfeng.

This Wang Youquan had caused trouble in the department before, and his family had some connections. Because of Zhan Pengfei, Zhou Yanqing became more cautious with such patients.

I would rather not have the surgery than be exposed to the smell of blood again.

"If Senior Brother Yu Yue and I went to the Security Office to talk, someone from the Security Office would have witnessed it on the spot."

"Wang Youquan and his family have signed their consent." Yan Wenfeng also posted photos of their signatures in the small group.

Ning Zhu just happened to come out at this time, @ Zhou Yanqing and gave him a thumbs up: "Yanqing is pretty awesome, then I'll escape first."

When Ning Zhu was the chief resident, Liu Qingshan was responsible for tracking the pre- and post-operative examination results. After Ning Zhu stepped down as the chief resident, Ning Zhu took over Liu Qingshan's responsibilities. Now that Zhou Yanqing has also stepped down as the chief resident, Ning Zhu has more time to spare. Everything is connected.

"Brother Zhu, get ready for your debut tomorrow." Zhou Yanqing whipped him.

"Get lost! Don't put pressure on me." There was no senior doctor in the small group, only Liu Qingshan at most, so Ning Zhu spoke a little more presumptuously.

"Okay!" Zhou Yanqing finished his work.

If the junior doctors are competent, this will be Zhou Yanqing's daily routine on non-surgical days after he takes over as resident doctor.

After he graduates next year and obtains the title of attending physician, he will have to sit in the outpatient clinic for another day and will be in a relatively free state.

At least that's how clinical work is, but Zhou Yanqing didn't stop, and instead found Duan Qilin and Du Qiao in the group to discuss the follow-up...

At 5:40, Chen Yu's message arrived as expected.

"After another ten minutes of delay, I started walking out."

"Come to the door, we'll go get the car together." Chen Yu said.

Zhou Yanqing immediately replied in the group: "I will arrive at the laboratory at 7:40 pm. We will talk in person then."

……

When Lei Zhong was chatting with his sister and brother-in-law, Professor Meng Yannian called him directly. After he refused once, Professor Meng Yannian called again.

Lei Zhong couldn't refuse, so his brother-in-law quickly said, "Brother-in-law, answer the phone!~"

"Is Xiaolan abroad now?" He immediately turned to his sister-in-law and changed the subject.

"Yes, he is in the United States now..."

Lei Zhong stood up and returned to the study.

"Professor Meng." Lei Zhong's tone was calm.

"President Lei, which great professor did you invite? Did Professor Zhu from Union Hospital invite Professor Qi from Huazhong University of Science and Technology?" Meng Yannian asked.

This multi-center big data clinical trial was jointly led by Professor Lei Zhong from Xiangya Hospital and Professor Zhu Dongxu from Union Hospital affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

The scope involved is very wide, mainly covering many hospitals in five major provinces in the central China region, mainly Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Henan.

For the major of Epidemiology and Health Statistics, currently only Nanjing Medical University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology are rated A+ in the country. Others, such as Kyoto University, Harbin Medical University and Fudan University, are all rated A-!
This is the most basic scientific research. As a professor of statistics at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, he receives many invitations to study projects.

Among them, Professor Qi’s team is the most famous.

However, Professor Qi's team is usually booked with major projects from many domestic academician teams, and it is difficult for ordinary people to make time for them.

Even if Professor Zhu Dongxu is also from Union Hospital, it doesn't make any difference.

"It's not Professor Qi. Professor Zhu Dongxu hasn't given me any feedback yet. This is someone else I found!~"

"Professor Meng, just tell me, how strong is this team?" Lei Zhong fiddled with the fat leaves of the green radish in the study and got straight to the point. "They are very capable, with very deep statistical skills and data presentation skills!"

"It's no less than the original." Meng Yannian also knew that this set of data was exploratory. It was an article that had already been published and was extracted by the team to test the statistical team that was about to participate.

This time, for the multi-center big data clinical project, teams from different disciplines including statistics, pharmacy, laboratory science, surgery, and several biological companies collaborated together.

The statistical analysis of multi-center big data clinical trials is very difficult, involving multiple research centers, and the data format, coding rules and quality of each center may differ.

In order to ensure the consistency and comparability of the data, detailed data standardization work is required, including unified variable definitions, coding rules, and unit conversions. When merging data, appropriate data merging tools and techniques, such as SQL databases and Python's Pandas library, need to be used to ensure that the data from each center can be seamlessly integrated.

After the data is merged, data consistency checks must be performed, including variable consistency, record consistency, and data distribution checks, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. In addition, multicenter trials involve multiple centers and teams, and it is necessary to ensure information sharing, data synchronization, progress control, and ethical and safety supervision among the centers, which increases the complexity of coordination and management.

Multicenter clinical trials involve a large amount of data, and the complexity of data analysis increases. Common statistical methods include descriptive statistical analysis, multivariate statistical analysis, and machine learning methods. These methods require higher computing power and technical requirements when processing large-scale data.

Therefore, a strong statistical team is generally required to participate.

"Is this professor really willing to work on our project?" Meng Yannian became worried.

"Well, he will provide data analysis services for our project. I will send him some of our hospital's data and let him try it out." Lei Zhong stopped playing with the green radish and looked directly out the window.

Now, the question he is thinking about is whether Professor Meng Yannian and others have any need to exist in the project.

Lei Zhong has worked on multi-center big data clinical trials and knows that for this kind of trial, although collecting data is difficult, integrating and analyzing the data is even more difficult.

If we are not careful, this project may go to waste.

Many domestic research groups have the ability to operate multi-center big data, but may not be able to find suitable data statistics experts.

If we really have to make an analogy, maybe the team is the singer and the data statistics expert is the original composer of the music.

A singer's ability is important, but without a good song to sing, it is difficult for him to stand out.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Dean Lei." Meng Yannian had no idea what Lei Zhong was thinking, otherwise he would not be as polite as he appeared.

After Lei Zhong hung up the phone, Lao Cheng's mouth twitched several times.

"This Zhou Yanqing? He's also good at statistical analysis? How come I never knew about this?"

"Where does he get so much time?"

"It's strange." Lei Zhong shook his head and did not answer his own question.

Of course, what Lei Zhong thought more about was that Zhou Yanqing analyzed the data in just over an hour, and made Meng Yannian very satisfied with the results.

It is obvious that Zhou Yanqing's statistical skills are far superior to Meng Yannian's! ~
Statistics, also a branch of mathematics, is the most unreasonable subject. If you don't have talent, hard work cannot make up for it.

However, Lei Zhong planned to leave Zhou Yanqing alone for at least a day or two, otherwise Zhou Yanqing's aggressiveness would be too great.

After Lei Zhong thought about it, he quickly changed his mind!

"Deng Zicong, please send me some of the data we collected. I will send it to someone to see if he can process our data." Lei Zhong said immediately.

Deng Zicong is an associate professor following Lei Zhong. He is also the junior in the undergraduate program that Lei Zhong values ​​the most and he has always been personally guiding him.

"Okay, Teacher Lei." Deng Zicong is not Lei Zhong's student. He and Lei Zhong are just distant master-disciple relationship, but because of the big age difference, he has always addressed him as teacher.

Soon, Deng Zicong sent the data he had to Lei Zhong and said, "Teacher Lei, is this enough?"

"I intercepted data from one hundred people, and the data involved is close to more than two thousand."

"Okay." Lei Zhong nodded.

Using these data to test Zhou Yanqing's actual combat ability is definitely enough.

After Lei Zhong hung up the phone, he was afraid that Zhou Yanqing would not be able to see the email, so he called Zhou Yanqing directly: "Zhou Yanqing, I forwarded a form for you!~"

“Try to do some data analysis.”

"It's about the effectiveness comparison of four drugs."

"I intercepted some of the information in the subject!" Lei Zhong said.

"Ah? Okay, Director Lei, have you seen it?" Zhou Yanqing was quite surprised.

At this moment, he was cutting a fruit platter for the diligent and studious Chen Yu. He put his cell phone flat and turned on the speaker.

"Do it well. If you do a good job, our hospital will be able to keep more things!~" Lei Zhong is still willing to take a gamble!
In fact, any choice, any development, has the nature of gambling.

Because if we always follow the routine, development will be too slow.

If you really want to catch up, leap forward, or even fly up, you can only gamble.

After all, this is a gamble without too many side effects.

"Okay, Director Lei, I'll do it as soon as possible." Zhou Yanqing replied.

"Don't worry. This is a long-term project. If you can analyze the results in a month, it will be very good." Lei Zhong did not urge him.

He wants quality, not quantity.

Multi-center big data clinical projects take years, several years, or even decades.

"Okay, Director Lei, I'll remember the time." Zhou Yanqing didn't chat with Lei Zhong more.

The two of them are not on the same level at all, and they don't have much common topics. It is impossible for Zhou Yanqing to be dismissive of Lei Zhong, and it is impossible for Lei Zhong to completely treat Zhou Yanqing as someone of the same level.

Such small talk is very tiring, it’s better to talk about things directly.

If it was his own master, Zhou Yanqing could ask about his well-being and find other topics to talk about.

This is the difference between closeness and distance...

ps: Dear book lovers, this book is actually a spin-off written by the author, a spin-off about Dr. Zhou Yanqing. His subsequent story lines will be gathered in another book.

According to the outline, there are still many stories to be written, but the data statistics route and functional rehabilitation route that Zhou Yanqing will take in the future have a certain degree of overlap with the book "From a Small Town Test-taker to a Great Doctor".

If you are interested, you can try the book "Small Town". The story of the book "Traditional Chinese Medicine" actually ends here.

Zhou Yanqing's path is the path of traditional Chinese medicine, so his route is different from others.

However, it is not appropriate to charge for the same story twice; please forgive me.

The following is a rough outline. In the future, Dr. Zhou Yanqing will focus on functional rehabilitation as the clinical core and take the big data statistics route.

Through my most powerful data statistical analysis ability, I conduct a national data census, and strive to find some of the disease-causing factors such as "environment", "drugs", "pollution", etc. I am committed to this, discovering problems and solving them! ~
The current storyline of this book ends here. The author will most likely continue writing and publishing new books under another account...

Sorry! ~
The whole book is finished!
