Walking into the gate of the academic research and development system at the headquarters of Gu Yitang, a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine enters the nasal cavity, and with every breath, it is as if the whole person is immersed in the medicinal soup, changing Be heavy and steady.
Among the piles of medicinal materials and bottles, I found today’s interviewee – Xue Lijun, Senior Academic Advisor of Gu Yitang Academic R&D System professor. In life, Professor Xue is always an elegant, gentle, friendly and kind-hearted image. However, in the R&D room, she is a meticulous and rigorous scientific researcher.
Study medicine is hard, scientific research is tiring, but everything is worth it
Going back to 2000, this millennium is destined to be extraordinary for Xue Lijun, who has just grown up. When she first stepped into the door of the University of Chinese Medicine, everything was so new and interesting, but she had been immersed in the efficacy of Chinese medicine in her hometown since she was a child, and she did not expect that learning Chinese medicine would be a chore.
It turns out that Chinese medicine should be learned from the yin and yang five elements, the heavenly stems and the earthly branches, and the eight cardinal syndrome differentiation. It’s boring, and only those who have learned it understand. “Can this be used to cure diseases?” Xue Lijun also questioned in her heart, but the medical student did not give up, so she could only bite the bullet and continue to learn.
The basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine is complicated. Whenever she has any doubts, she will follow the teacher for advice; Pulse to distinguish; Chinese medicine, acupuncture points, meridians are difficult to remember, when the girl should go shopping, she is all tied up in the library for endorsement. After 7 years of cold and summer travel, after graduating from graduate school and entering clinical practice, because of her solid foundation and mentoring from everyone, her knowledge is like a chess piece that she moves at will. However, in a few years, the big game of traditional Chinese medicine has taken shape.
“When you start to use the knowledge in your brain to diagnose and treat patients, your sense of happiness and value as a doctor will really appear. If you study hard and persevere If you don’t come down, you won’t be able to wait for this day.” Is studying medicine hard? Suffering, not bitter. Physically suffering, but spiritually rich. Xue Lijun has always insisted that interest is the best teacher. Because of her fiery red heart, she has never wavered and never thought of giving up. This is true of studying medicine, of practicing medicine, and of studying medicine.
During more than ten years of her clinical roots, Xue Lijun’s research on traditional Chinese medicine has not stopped. Over the years, she has made outstanding research achievements in TCM internal medicine, surgery, chronic diseases, etc. She has received financial support from the Hunan Provincial Department of Education for many times, presided over 3 provincial scientific research projects, 1 provincial education reform project, edited 2 textbooks, and edited He has published 15 academic works and more than 20 papers, and has won many national and provincial awards from the Ministry of Education and the Provincial Department of Education. The honor is small, and the evidence-based medicine collected by the research is large. These scientific research results not only make her more confident when diagnosing and prescribing medicine, but also make people who question traditional Chinese medicine be speechless – traditional Chinese medicine is not empirical medicine, It is also supported by scientific data.
In addition, she also has a strong interest in traditional Chinese medicine. For a common motion sickness, she can have full patience, and find out the prescriptions such as Zexie Decoction, Wuling Powder, Xiashu Zeyi Pills from the medical classics according to different syndrome types to differentiate and adjust the syndrome. “Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases” is full of obscure ancient texts. She searched for translations and searched documents word by word. Without repeated study and reflection day and night, it is impossible to explain the classics thoroughly. The truth is like “reading thousands of volumes, writing like a god”, the classics have been studied more, and Professor Xue Lijun’s clinical medicine has also been a lot more flexible.
Professor Xue insists that the driving force of scientific research comes from clinical practice and is applied in clinical practice. Now, she has started anew, integrating her more than ten years of scientific research experience and clinical experience, and devoted herself to the research and development of Gu Yitang products, and is committed to helping more patients with scientific research results.
Professor Xue Lijun is in the laboratory in front of her, making plans for Gu Yitang’s women’s health business line. Gynecological diseases involve a lot of complexity. It is a very time-consuming and laborious task to summarize and organize common symptoms of women one by one and match them with programs.
For example, if the menstrual flow is small, many different syndromes can be distinguished from this simple symptom, including blood deficiency syndrome and phlegm dampness syndrome. Each symptom is like a big tree, divided into several syndrome types “tree branches”, and the disease type is equivalent to a vast forest, straightening out each branch of several forests, the workload can be imagined And know.
“Everyone chooses Gu Yitang because of their belief. We must be serious and responsible, and there should be no less than one step. Only according to each patient The specific disease and constitution should be matched with the corresponding products, so as to truly help the other person to recuperate.” No one could see that the seemingly weak woman had such a rock-solid determination. Her medical ethics are engraved in her bones.
In addition to women’s health, Gu Yitang will continue to increase scientific research investment in the skin management business line. Professor Xue will also apply his expertise in traditional Chinese medicine surgery to this project. Whether it is skin diseases such as dermatitis, acne, and eczema, or skin problems such as pigmentation and dull complexion, the root cause is due to the imbalance of yin and yang in the body. If the original is not resolved, apply more hormone ointment, chemicalCosmetics are just a tactic to slow down the army. This is the concept that Professor Xue has always wanted to promote to everyone.
I am very fortunate and grateful that I have always had a good partner in the medical journey
< span>Any experience is wealth. On the official accounts of Guyitang’s major platforms, Professor Xue Lijun has now become a “Traditional Chinese Science Popularization Master”. In fact, her excellent expression ability benefits from her more than ten years of teaching experience. During the consultation period in the hospital, Professor Xue also shouldered the teaching work of the school.
“I have always treated students as friends, partners, and even family members. No. 1.” As big as leading students to do provincial scientific research projects, and as small as hosting daily theme class meetings, I can really feel it. Professor Xue Lijun’s serious responsibility and hands-on work has won a large number of “student fans”, and everyone calls her affectionately. For the “Goddess Dean”.
The title of “Dean and Associate Professor of the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine” did not make Professor Xue Lijun distance from the students, on the contrary, many students were willing to talk to her. “Whisper”, even after graduation for many years, he still does not forget his teacher’s kindness. “Mr. Xue, are you free? Which master tutor do you think is suitable for me?”, “Teacher, I want to invite you when I get married next month!”, “Today is Teacher’s Day, I wish you a happy holiday!” Questions, the ups and downs in life will also be shared with Professor Xue.
Professor Xue Lijun has severe pharyngitis. No matter how much throat medicine she takes, as long as she stays on the podium for a day, this kind of teacher-exclusive occupational disease cannot be cured. What has always supported her to persevere is just the students’ satisfactory transcripts. Seeing that the students are promising, no matter how uncomfortable the pharyngitis is, the pharyngitis has disappeared.
Leaving the school, Professor Xue said frankly that he was very reluctant to part with it. Everything on the campus is so sunny and simple, but fortunately After arriving at the Gu Yitang family, another group of kind and professional partners embraced her again. “A group of people working together in one direction, the team gave me a lot of motivation.”
Following the footsteps of Professor Xue, we came to the office area. It’s completely different from what I imagined. I thought she would have an independent and private office, but I didn’t expect that she, like ordinary employees, has no airs at all. A computer, a few stacks of books, and a kettle make up her simple workstation. Professor Xue said that it is more convenient to communicate and work with everyone. Why does she always blend in with everyone? Why do people around her praise her for being kind and humble? The reason is self-evident.
Liao Shenke, who is with the team, said: “In scientific research, Professor Xue’s meticulous attitude towards work is admirable, and at the same time in the team. She is also a teacher and a friend, and she will patiently answer everyone’s questions.” It is the excellent habit of being highly responsible for students and scientific research for many years that helps Professor Xue Lijun to give full play to his talents in the scientific research team of Guyitang.
“I don’t have any tricks to do scientific research, I just fail and summarize repeatedly, and I don’t have any tricks to lead a team, but I just change my mind from one’s heart, and there is a group of like-minded people. I am not alone.”
Professor Xue always talked about the team, in fact, the team It is a great luck to have her as a role model. Her greatest value is not how many scientific research results she has created, but the light radiating from her body, which can bring flexibility to everyone.
Her flexibility is supported by traditional Chinese medicine. For people to be soft on the outside and firm on the inside, Chinese medicine also pays attention to “examine the yin and yang, so as not to be soft and rigid”. The doctor knows the medicine and chooses the medicine well. Only when the medicine is firm and soft can the balance of yin and yang of the human body be coordinated. The way of Chinese medicine has run through Professor Xue’s life.
Nowadays, Professor Xue Lijun has grown into an all-rounder in practicing medicine, teaching, researching and developing, and popularizing Chinese medicine. On the road of exploring traditional Chinese medicine, there are still many people in Guyitang who are as radiant as Professor Xue. Only by protecting the health of the people and working together to forge ahead in the new journey of Guyitang can we go farther and brighter…
