brief introduction

Xu Cai, also known as Xu Yujun, is a famous professor of internal medicine and an expert in infectious diseases. He is a first-class medical expert. Born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province in 1914, he graduated from Hunan Xiangya Medical College (now Central South University) in 1940 with a bachelor's degree.

Overseas Study

In September 1944, he went to study in the United States and engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases and scientific research at Park Hospital in New York. In June 1945, he went to Hemen hospital in Detroit for further study and served as the chief physician of the hospital.

As the second world war drew to an end, the Japanese militarist government announced its unconditional surrender. At this time, Xu CAI was eager to return to China for post-war reconstruction. In 1946, he returned to Nanjing to participate in the preparation of the central hospital. In the same year, he was a professor in the Medical College of Nanjing Central University (then called central Pro University).

thought

Xu CAI was progressive in thought, hated the corruption and incompetence of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and actively worked for the birth of new China. In 1949, he was a professor at the Military Medical University of the second field war. After the birth of new China, he served as director of internal medicine of East China military region hospital and professor of the fifth Military Medical University. Director of the Department of internal medicine and director of the Department of infectious diseases, General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region, devoted his life to the medical and health cause of the whole army.

For the development of the medical and health cause of our country, he has successively held the posts of the military and local medical academic groups. In 1953, he was the executive director of the internal medicine society of the Chinese Medical Association. He once served as the vice chairman of the internal medicine society of the Jiangsu Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, the chairman of the internal medicine society of the Nanjing Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and the member of the Jiangsu Provincial Association for science and technology. After 1980, he served as the director of the Chinese people's Liberation Army Medical Science and Technology Association and the leader of the Chinese medical science and technology branch. In 1985, he was elected as honorary member of the medical science committee of the whole army and academic consultant of the infectious diseases professional group of the whole army. Xu CAI was the first, second, fourth, fifth and Sixth People's Congress of Nanjing.

study

Although Xu Cai holds several posts and has to deal with busy medical research tasks, he always keeps in mind the teaching of his most respected teachers, such as Shen Kefei, Zhang Xiaoqian and Ying Yuanyue. In medical practice, he attaches great importance to preventive medicine, the establishment of medical ethics and medical style, forbids patients to invite guests to give gifts, and opposes private practice.

After liberation, Xu Cai eagerly studied Marxism Leninism and Mao Zedong thought. He joined the Communist Party of China in May 1956, joined the people's Liberation Army in July of the same year, awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, and was promoted to the rank of colonel in 1964. He applied materialist dialectics to clinical and scientific research, and achieved good results. Influenced by the May 4th culture since childhood, Xu Cai is good at reading, especially in literature, history and philosophy. He has a strong memory. Therefore, he can speak eloquently and humorously in conversation, write elegantly and naturally, and debate with great power and wit. Xu Cai's lectures on medical technology are quite vivid. The students listen to them for a long time, and talk about the boring medical theory with relish. For every symptom and every drug, he not only talks about its function, but also requires the students to know what it is and what it is going through. After decades, students can still remember the scene when they were teaching.

character

When Xu Caiping was silent and thoughtful, he was silent and smiling. When he considered the problem, he must start from the overall situation and deliberate from both positive and negative aspects. Once he saw the problem clearly, he would forge ahead and persevere. He organized the medical staff of the army to eliminate diseases in a high-profile manner, and to study epidemics and frequently occurring diseases. In the medical and educational work under his leadership, he spared no effort to publicize the idea of putting prevention first, and personally took charge of the prevention and treatment of frequently occurring dysentery and hepatitis diseases and scientific research in the army.

At the end of 1950s, due to the influence of some international trends, there appeared the viewpoint that "sulfonamides have failed, and all bacillary dysentery patients have developed drug resistance". From 1958 to 1960, Xu Cai organized brother hospitals and troops to study the prevention and treatment of bacillary dysentery, affirmed the curative effect of sulfonamides, determined the clinical type of bacillary dysentery, and determined the curative effect standard and rapid treatment method of bacillary dysentery Treatment plan.

From 1960 to 1961, the Department of histochemistry, pathology and infectious diseases cooperated to study the clinical regularity of hepatitis, the clinical significance of Biochemistry and pathology, so as to determine the clinical types and conversion rules of hepatitis, and affirm the clinical value of transaminase and liver biopsy.

From 1963 to 1964, the Department of histology, biochemistry and pathology studied the effect of nutrition on the liver, put forward the key points of distinguishing malnutrition hepatomegaly from infectious hepatitis, and clarified the saying of "idiopathic hepatitis" in East China.

attitude

In the above scientific research practice, he especially emphasized that on the basis of careful, accurate and complete clinical observation, he analyzed the data obtained through scientific logical methods, then used logical methods to analyze and summarize, put forward new theories and viewpoints, and then returned to the clinic for verification. These methods have been popularized in the army, so as to improve the level of scientific research and prevention of diseases in the army.

Xu Cai believes that health and medical work, like basic science and technology work, has a process of continuous development and progress. If we can consciously study this process, we can promote its development. Therefore, whether we are engaged in epidemic prevention work in the army or diagnosis and treatment work in the hospital, we need to constantly analyze and summarize, affirm achievements and draw lessons. Xu Cai first organized a research group composed of military and hospital medical personnel to carry out medical treatment, scientific research and teaching practice, and achieved successful experience, that is, open-door scientific research. Through several scientific summaries, the medical level of medical personnel in the whole army has been gradually improved, and through many summaries, scientific research and education have been integrated into an organism. Xu Cai tried this method in the hospital one after another, and later extended it to the army. The clinical classification, diagnosis and treatment criteria of dysentery and hepatitis obtained by this method were communicated at the military and national academic conferences.

During this period, Xu Cai participated in many important national and military professional academic conferences, published papers and made summary reports. In 1959, he made a report on the classification of dysentery at the Beijing National Conference on infectious diseases, in 1960, he made a report on the treatment of hepatitis at the Lanzhou all army hepatitis conference, in 1961, he made a report on the clinical significance of biochemical and pathological examination of hepatitis at the Changchun national hepatitis conference, in 1963, he made a report on the progress of prevention and treatment of bacillary dysentery at the all army elimination conference, and in 1964, he made a report on the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in Huangshan At the meeting, we made a summary report on the prevention and treatment of bacillary dysentery, and a report on the differential diagnosis of dystrophic hepatomegaly and hepatitis at the 1965 Chongqing military infectious disease conference.

achievements

Xu Cai believes that the success or failure of scientific research and the size of scientific research achievements largely depend on the quality of the original data, so he often makes great efforts to improve the quality of basic medical care and nursing. He tries his best to help the hospital establish various clinical laboratories, from sphygmomanometers and thermometers, to identify them one by one, and to give painstaking and earnest instructions to the medical records of residents, So that young doctors can learn from their thoughts.

In recognition of his achievements, he has been rated as an advanced medical science worker and has made third class meritorious service for four times. In 1964, he attended the army's Conference on eliminating pests and diseases and was received by Chairman Mao of the Party Central Committee and state leaders.

In the 1950s, under the leadership of the Ministry of health, he organized a large number of clinical medical staff to publish the unprecedented "medical and nursing technical operation routine (Draft)" and "physical examination diagnostics". From then on, the work of various hospitals has been standardized, the assessment has been standardized, and the study has been standardized.

Xu CAI has always advocated that all medical staff should have a good foundation in internal medicine, and on this basis, they should study other specialties. Based on this, one month before the birth of new China, he founded the first medical journal of internal medicine (now the predecessor of Chinese Journal of internal medicine) as the general manager.

He regarded the Journal of internal medicine as a good teaching material for further study in universities or medical schools. Journal of internal medicine publicizes good medical ethics and publishes articles on the achievements of internal medicine development. As the basis of internal medicine, Journal of internal medicine aims to expand the thinking of medical workers in the aspects of etiology, pathogenesis, pathology, pharmacology and pharmacology. Therefore, it is deeply loved by medical workers and takes Journal of internal medicine as their mentor. Xu CAI was deeply gratified by the support of medical workers all over the country. He worked day and night and devoted himself to his work. Until 1953, when the Journal of internal medicine was handed over to the Chinese Medical Association and renamed as the Chinese Journal of internal medicine, he published 4 volumes and 39 issues with 547524 volumes and 8 million words in total. Xu CAI was once the deputy editor in chief and editorial board member of Chinese Journal of internal medicine, the editorial board member of Chinese Medical Journal of PLA, the editorial board member of Chinese Journal of infectious diseases, and the editorial board member of JAMA.

to attack

After ten years of turmoil, the construction of hospital laboratories and various scientific research organizations were destroyed, and Xu CAI was also impacted. In 1967, he was transferred to Hefei people's Liberation Army for 10 years
