CCTV News:On February 1st, Li Lanjuan, a 73-year-old academician of China Academy of Engineering and a member of the high-level expert group of the National Health and Wellness Commission, led a team of five people to set out from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province to help Wuhan.
At the departure ceremony, Li Lanjuan said with deep affection, "I plan to stay there for a long time and work with the medical staff there. I personally hope to go to Jinyintan Hospital, the hospital where all critical illnesses are concentrated. "
At present, Li Lanjuan’s move has touched countless people again. As an expert in the field of infectious diseases in China, Li Lanjuan has been engaged in clinical, scientific research and teaching of infectious diseases for more than 40 years.
Drilling for more than ten years, saving countless people.
After graduating from Li Lanjuan University and being assigned to work in a hospital, the first infectious disease I came into contact with was "severe hepatitis". Under the medical conditions at that time, the mortality rate was as high as 70% and 80%! As a young doctor, some patients’ families knelt in front of her and said, "Dr. Li, can you save him?" Seeing the desperate expressions of patients and their families, Li Lanjuan, a doctor, felt very sad and helpless.
Later, Li Lanjuan was inspired by the filtration and dialysis of the kidney. Is it possible to treat patients with liver failure, especially explosive liver failure, in this way? She declared a project and led the team to start the research on artificial liver, but the research process was very difficult. Many colleagues said that artificial liver had no hope and gave up halfway.
However, Li Lanjuan spent more than 10 years developing a relatively complete, unique and effective artificial liver system. After the initial success of this technology, Li Lanjuan and his team set up an artificial liver research center, and spread this technology to the whole country without reservation, thus helping patients with liver failure all over the country in time.
"What is the doctor’s greatest happiness? Seeing that so many patients have been treated and pulling them back from the death line is our greatest happiness! " Li Lanjuan said.
After the successful development of artificial liver, Li Lanjuan did not stop the work of epidemiological research. She successively carried out investigation and research on infectious diseases such as SARS and H7N9 avian influenza, and made great contributions to the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases in China. Now, in the face of the new coronary disease epidemic, she has no fear and leads a team to the front.
Often away from home, she actually sacrificed a lot for her family.
Fast-paced life may be the norm for Li Lanjuan. Li Lanjuan has been attending the expert clinic every Monday for many years. "Nothing is more touching than the patient’s expectant eyes." Li Lanjuan said.
As a medical worker, Li Lanjuan gets up at about 6 o’clock every day and starts the clinic at 8 o’clock. "She has formed a habit, sleeping late at night and getting up in the morning are fixed. This is also where I admire her. " Speaking of Li Lanjuan’s daily life, his son Jie Zheng said.
Jie Zheng, who was born in a double academician family, didn’t get much company from his parents. "I was basically brought up by my grandmother." He said.
When Li Lanjuan was studying, everyone mainly studied Russian. So I didn’t start learning English until I worked for many years, and this process was to start learning from one word to another by listening to the tape. At this time, Li Lanjuan’s medical work has been quite busy, and there are a lot of research besides clinical work.
Li Lanjuan’s husband, Zheng Shusen, went to West China University of Medical Sciences to study PhD when he was about 40 years old. After graduation, Li Lanjuan supported him to go to Hongkong for postdoctoral studies. "During that time, my mother’s salary alone had to support our family of four. This should be the stage when I am still in middle school. " Jie Zheng recalled, "At that time, my grandfather was ill in his hometown, and my mother didn’t tell my father, so she took me and took my brother to his hometown to hang an intravenous drip for him. She didn’t mention this to her father until she was cured. "
Enthusiastic public welfare, promoting artificial liver technology for free
In Li Lanjuan’s view, a person’s success is not success, and a team’s success is not success. As a doctor, she hopes that she can give full play to her ability to cure diseases and save lives.
In order to make more patients with severe liver disease in all parts of the country enjoy the gospel brought by advanced medical technology, she resolutely gave up the opportunity to apply for the patent of artificial liver. In order to ensure the standardization and order of treatment technology, she formulated the treatment guidelines and operating specifications for artificial liver. Since 2001, she has held training courses every year and promoted her artificial liver technology to the whole country free of charge.
In Li Lanjuan’s view, a scientist with conscience should have the courage to take social responsibility. When bird flu was raging, in the face of people’s panic, she took the lead in eating chicken, introduced scientific prevention methods, and told everyone that eating chicken was harmless, which greatly boosted the confidence of the aquaculture industry.
If you benefit from society, you should double your feedback to society. Together with her husband Zheng Shusen, she donated money and joined forces with all sectors of society to set up the Shulan Talent Fund to reward outstanding scientific and technological talents in China who have made breakthrough innovations in medical research and clinical fields.
Future medicine has a long way to go.
Referring to the future development of medicine, Li Lanjuan said that it is closely related to big data, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. She believes that the big data of everyone’s health records should be used.
"Which diseases have a high incidence in China? Which diseases have a low incidence? Which diseases have high mortality? We analyze big data to establish intelligent diagnosis. "Li Lanjuan said that we should improve our medical and health level through intelligent treatment, intelligent management and the use of big data, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence.
At the same time, many new technologies should be used to ensure health. In Li Lanjuan’s view, fecal bacteria transplantation is also a very effective new technology. She said, "What is fecal transplantation? It is to give a healthy person’s good stool to another sick person with intestinal microecological disorder. " The treatment effect is very good.
Li Lanjuan’s own experience of fighting against infectious diseases for more than 40 years witnessed the rapid growth of China in the field of infectious disease prevention and control.
The future of medicine has a long way to go. Li Lanjuan encourages young people to be rigorous and realistic, pioneering and innovative, and bravely climb the peak for the benefit of mankind. The future of the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, the future of the motherland are all on young people! (Text/Kang Yanlong)
