Chen Jumei:years of military service, regular military treatment,Full mouth tooth extraction.
In 1972, a 47-year-old heroine walked into the hospital and presented doctors with two seemingly extreme conditions: one was to remove all healthy teeth, and the other was to remove the appendix and tonsils.
This surprised the doctors present. In the face of her family's dissuasion, she resolutely carried out the operation, because she had a grand goal in mind - to eliminate hepatitis B and remove it"Hepatitis country"The stigma label.
She is Chen Jumei, an outstanding hepatologist in China, a fighter of the 302 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, whose determination and action interpret the fearless spirit of dedication to the cause of national health.
In 1925, the soil of Zhejiang gave birth to the tenacious Chen Jumei, although she was born in a poor family, with four siblings and turbulent times, her parents' persistence bathed her in the light of knowledge.
The diligent and studious Chen Jumei knows that her parents are hard, and on the way to the college entrance examination, she carried the burden of her family and walked for several days just to go to the examination room, eager to turn her fate around. However, fate made people, and the unexpected invalidation of the college entrance examination results made her dream instantly disillusioned.
However, disappointment did not defeat her, and in 1945, with the encouragement of her relatives and teachers, Chen Jumei stepped into Zhejiang Medical College and found a new direction in her life - to become a doctor who treats diseases and saves people.
The palace of medicine tests every student, and heavy knowledge and strict academic requirements are a severe challenge to perseverance, but Chen Jumei has gnawed the hard core of medicine with her extraordinary perseverance.
In 1950, she graduated with honors, not only joined the Communist Party of China, but also embarked on a job in the Department of Infectious Diseases of Shanghai Second People's Hospital, and since then, her career has officially set sail.
Five years of hard work in Shanghai won Chen Jumei a precious opportunity to go to the Soviet Union for further study, which she cherished very much, and did not hesitate to take leave to concentrate on reviewing, and finally won the first place in the professional examination and successfully entered the school.
In the face of her long journey, her parents were full of pride and a trace of worry, but Chen Jumei was steadfast, and her eyes only had to complete the mission of studying abroad given by the country. With her dedication to her dreams, Chen Jumei received the understanding and full support of her parents and became one of the first batch of international students with a doctorate in infectious diseases from the Leningrad Medical College in New China.
During her study abroad, she never wasted a day, proved her strength with excellent results, and graduated early with a brilliant achievement of full marks in all subjects, writing a legendary chapter that belongs to her.
After returning to China, Chen Jumei, a medical pioneer, joined the Second Department of the 302nd Hospital of the People's Liberation Army and showed her strength as an infectious disease expert. Her outstanding research and contributions are particularly significant, as she personally created the first infectious disease virus cytology diagnosis laboratory in China, which is like a beacon that illuminates the darkness, significantly improving the accuracy of virus diagnosis and clinical treatment efficiency.
Although 302 Hospital was once jokingly called the "Virus Hardland", and there was a joke that "kicking the door to talk about the disease, and the diagnosis is as fast as the wind", Chen Jumei was not afraid of this and resolutely took root here.
In the face of the country's trust, the ravages of the hepatitis B virus and the many lives lost due to liver disease every year, she stood up and declared with great determination: "I will take responsibility for reducing the mortality rate of hepatitis!" ”
Chen Jumei dedicates all her spare time to the laboratory, and she has only one goal: to overcome the problem of transaminases. She mined clues from the medical records of ** patients, although only 50 cases were screened out of more than 700 data, and each method was fruitless.
In the face of the sparse response to the letter, she was not discouraged and continued to explore. Until she met a patient with cirrhosis who repeatedly went in and out of the hospital, his experience led her to discover the secret of transaminase fluctuations - a seemingly ordinary bottle of sleeping pills, which actually contained schisandra.
This discovery inspired her to grasp the key to Schizandra chinensis, vowing to unravel the mystery of its enzyme-lowering in the laboratory.
Chen Jumei, as a discipline leader, not only deeply cultivates scientific research, but also practices it personally"Health poverty alleviation"。In 1969, she led the medical team to Huanglong County, northern Shaanxi, to provide free medical services for the villagers with selfless doctors, which lasted for one year.
Faced with the rudimentary of primary care facilities, such as the dilemma of urgently needing anesthesia during surgery but not being able to obtain it, her determination and wisdom were revealed. She worked with her team to challenge and even take risks to propose to experiment with innovative anaesthesia alternatives herself.
Despite the thrilling process, Chen Jumei experienced a coma, but did not complain after waking up, but worked with the team to optimize the plan and successfully solve this difficult problem.
This year, practicing medicine in Huanglong County, she lost 20 pounds, her physique became weaker, and due to the difficult dietary conditions, her nutrition was seriously insufficient. However, her tenacity and dedication are like a beam of light, illuminating the path to health in that land.
In the 70s, infectious hepatitis was rampant, Chen Jumei was like a warrior in a race against time, and her mission was to find the best cure as soon as possible to reduce the suffering of patients.
However, just as she was doing her best, her health turned red, and a bacterial infection caused her to suffer from glomerulonephritis, and the high-intensity work became a life and death test for her.
Knowing that the source of inflammation needs to be the first to happen, Chen Jumei resolutely picked the tonsils first and then removed the appendix, but the inflammation did not stop with these measures, and the challenge of periodontitis followed.
In the face of obstacles, she was fearless and determined to remove this "stumbling block". In this way, at the age of 47, she continued to move forward with great determination and tenacity.
Although her family was distressed, they couldn't shake her determination: "In order to take off the hat of 'hepatitis country', I am willing to give everything." Her smile reveals firmness, and her perseverance turns into the power of scientific research.
After eight long years of struggle, Chen Jumei finally developed it"Hepatopol"Series honey pills, this is her victory over the disease, but also a commitment to life.
In 1985, China faced the severe challenge of chronic severe viral hepatitis, and the case fatality rate was alarming. The historical mission fell on the shoulders of Dr. Chen Jumei, who vowed with unwavering determination to reduce mortality by 20 to 30 percent.
Chen Jumei led the team to work day and night to initiate the clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for severe hepatitis, which was officially adopted in 1995 and became an important guideline for the prevention and treatment of hepatitis, which is still used today.
Her antiviral** has improved patient survival rates, and the introduction of artificial liver technology has reduced the mortality rate of patients with liver failure by 20%. With the strategy of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine, Chen Jumei has successfully reduced the mortality rate of patients with chronic liver disease from more than 85% to 38%, creating a miracle in infectious disease medicine.
She not only treated hundreds of thousands of patients, including more than 60 infectious diseases, but also created a new path for sequelae of Japanese encephalitis and pioneered the application of "Schisandra chinensis enzyme".
There are countless honors and books, but Chen Jumei has always humbly called herself an "ordinary doctor", and her half-life legend shows the true character of a heroine.
After 67 years of medical journey, she has never missed a major moment. Whenever the plague rages, she always stands up to the challenge. In 2002, in Guangdong, SARS first appeared, and soon spread to the world, and in 2003, China suffered a serious panic, Chen Jumei, a 78-year-old veteran military doctor, was ordered to enter the SARS quarantine area fearlessly.
With firm steps, she took the lead in organizing expert consultations and sounding the clarion call for prevention and control. Whenever a crisis strikes, there are always heroes like her who stand up and fight against the disease. Chen Jumei wrote history, she was the first TV person interviewed, presided over the first expert seminar, edited the first prevention and control manual, created a professional magazine SARS column, and was the first authority to impart protection knowledge.
The race against time stopped the spread of the epidemic and ended the SARS epidemic for more than a year. Chen Jumei, who became a household name due to the SARS epidemic, has become synonymous with tenacity and courage.
In 2008, 83-year-old Chen Jumei devoted herself to earthquake relief as an expert in Wenchuan University ** Middle School, and worked with her working group partners to devote herself to the prevention and control of post-disaster infectious diseases.
She resolutely went to Beichuan and Mianzhu, the hardest-hit areas, and put forward key strategies with her professional knowledge - "building a monitoring network, focusing on the key points of epidemic prevention, and implementing scientific prevention and control", which effectively ensured that there was no major outbreak in the disaster area.
Faced with reporters' questions about epidemic prevention safety, Chen Jumei responded with a professional smile: "This is a disaster area, not an epidemic area, and we have taken strict measures to ensure safety." ”
This not only dispelled panic, but also gave the people in the disaster area peace of mind. Even though she is suffering from Parkinson's disease, 84-year-old "life-saving grandmother" Chen Jumei still sticks to the front line of treatment.
His wife Chen Guoshi silently supported, helped her dress neatly in the morning, drove her to the hospital, watched her leave, and patiently waited for her to go home at night, and her companionship and understanding allowed her strength to continue.
No matter where Chen Jumei goes, Chen Guoshi is like a loyal guardian, and his eyes always follow. He had laughed at himself"Eternal watchman"。Admirably, although Chen Jumei was supposed to retire in 1998, her love and dedication to the army allowed her to postpone her tenure until 2015, when she was 90 years old, which is 17 years.
For her outstanding contributions to the field of military medicine, she was awarded the Order of Merit of the Second Class and the General Logistics Department"A role model for women"and many other honors. As a civilian officer, her achievements reached the pinnacle of civilian special rank, which matched the high status of professional and technical level.
Although she is at the rank of a regular soldier, her treatment is equivalent to that of a general at the theater level, and she enjoys the same high military honor as the art master Yan Su.
Chen Jumei, a respected pioneer in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, passed away at 9:20 on November 5, 2021, at the age of 96. This outstanding expert, who served as the head of the expert group of the Third and Second Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, had his last wish before his death to be simple and great: to keep the funeral simple, and to dedicate his body to medical research.
She has devoted her life to practice"The healer is benevolent", never misdiagnosed or missed, always won high praise from patients and peers. Her name shines brightly in our memories, but it is in our mournful days that we remember it deeply.
