There is a concept in the medical field called "patient zero", which refers to the first patient who got an infectious disease and started to spread the virus. In epidemiological investigation, it can also be called "initial case" or "marked case". In 2020, the world's search for COVID-19 and patient zero is still vivid.

Peking Union Medical College can definitely be called "No.0 Medical College", which not only means that it is the world-renowned highest institution of higher learning in China's medical field, the highest medical research institution and the highest medical education institution in China, but also means that its scientific research achievements and personnel training benefit the world.

Some people say: "The technology that can solve problems is high-tech, and the technology that can completely solve practical problems is the highest technology." The scientific research achievements of Peking Union Medical College deserve this reputation.

The world's first standardized treatment scheme for choriocarcinoma at the radical level comes from Peking Union Medical College.

In view of the fact that choriocarcinoma, known as the "king of cancer", seriously endangers women's health, Professor Song from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital led the research team to start high-dose treatment, which increased the number of patients with choriocarcinoma from 90% to 90%.

In addition, it is recognized that patients with choriocarcinoma can give birth to healthy offspring without removing the uterus of the primary focus. The clinical staging method of choriocarcinoma proposed by the research team of Peking Union Medical College has been adopted as a unified clinical staging method by WHO and FIGO.

The inactivated polio virus vaccine, which broke the monopoly of IPV production technology in developed countries, was also developed by Peking Union Medical College.

Polio, commonly known as "polio". At present, countries all over the world mainly use inactivated polio vaccine for injection (IPV) and live attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV) to prevent polio.

Following the World Health Organization's Confirmation Committee for the Eradication of Polio in the Western Pacific (RCC) declared that China was polio-free, the research team of Peking Union Medical College independently developed and produced the first dose of inactivated polio vaccine (sIPV) in China in 20 15.

WHO sent a letter to the relevant authorities in China, suggesting that sIPV produced in China should be included in the global polio eradication action plan. The biological safety requirements of vaccines made from attenuated strains are low, and WHO encourages the development of sIPV.

At present, more than 10 countries have negotiated cooperation with China. The listing and use of sIPV developed by Peking Union Medical College will contribute to the eradication of polio in China and the world, especially in developing countries.

There are 5 state-level key laboratories and 7 ministries-level key laboratories/kloc-0.

National research bases and centers, 6 post-doctoral research mobile stations, 10 WHO Cooperation Center. These scientific research platforms make the scientific research achievements of Peking Union Medical College sing all the way.

During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the college won 209 scientific and technological awards, including 24 national third-class awards. Published SCI papers 1888, ranking first in national medical colleges.

During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, 7 SCI papers157 were published, and 222 scientific research achievements were awarded, with a total funding of 465,438+billion yuan for various scientific research projects. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, Peking Union Medical College only undertook the National Natural Science Foundation project 1095, and the overall research funding for horizontal and vertical projects has exceeded10 billion yuan.

Up to now, Peking Union Medical College has become a national medical science center and comprehensive medical science research institution integrating medical teaching, scientific research and production prevention, with 23 research institutes (institutes and bases), 6 hospitals, 7 colleges and 56 innovative units.

However, the goal of Peking Union Medical College to train clinicians, medical scientists, medical educators and medical administrators for the world has not failed. Eight-year clinical medical education, higher nursing education, resident training system and the earliest public health practice in China began with the centenary of the establishment of colleges and universities, among which "eight-year clinical medical education" is still in use today.

Eight-year consistent training is the characteristic of clinical medicine in Peking Union Medical College, which emphasizes "AG, excellent education and Yuko Yan" and implements "tutorial system" in pre-medical and undergraduate teaching by stages. In the clinical teaching stage, clinical teachers give students "one-on-one" guidance, emphasizing teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and meticulously carving.

The first batch of Peking Union Medical College, which has the right to confer doctoral degrees and master's degrees, currently has 7 first-class doctoral programs and 3 master's degree programs. The State Council Academic Degrees Committee is the entrusted degree awarding unit, which independently examines the first-level disciplines authorized by doctoral degrees and the first-level disciplines authorized by master's degrees.

The perfect talent training system of Peking Union Medical College makes it possible to implement the eight-year clinical medicine specialty and cultivate high-level medical talents with strong scientific research ability, solid foundation and international competitiveness.

The college has successively produced 52 academicians of the two academies of medicine and health, including Zhang, Zhang, Lin and Huang Jiasi, and provided talents and technical support for the establishment of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, PLA General Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Hospital, Sino-Japanese Hospital and Beijing Hospital.

For example, Du Bin, a leading figure in the field of critical care medicine in China, is the president of the Critical Care Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and is known as one of the "Eight Immortals of Severe Diseases" in China. With "systemic infection and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome" as the main research direction, many fields have reached the world advanced level.

Since its establishment, China Clinical Research Collaboration Group for Critical Care Medicine (CCCCTG) founded by him has published many articles in international academic journals, becoming the only collaborative organization for critical care medicine in China that meets the international clinical trial standards.

Because of his outstanding achievements in the treatment of critically ill patients, he was elected as the Secretary-General of the International Asia-Pacific Critical Care Medicine Association in 2006, and served as the director of the Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) and the director of the Ethics and Organization Management Department of F 1000 Critical Care and Emergency Medicine. He is the first ICU doctor in China to work in an international academic organization.

With a history of 100 years, it has trained many world-renowned experts and won the first place in a row, calling Peking Union Medical College a "zero" medical college. Of course, it is also called zero because there are no other medical schools in China, and no one dares to call it the first. The only natural number that can rank before "one" is "zero". Peking Union Medical College is known as "the medical palace of China". I wonder how many candidates will enter this temple.
