There is a beautiful academician in China, she started from the grass-roots nurses, step by step and finally admitted to the doctoral candidate, she devoted her life to the study of diabetes, founded a number of firsts, in 2021 was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, she is the former president of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital Jia Weiping.
First, nurses in small hospitals to doctors in large hospitals. Jia Weiping was born in 1956 in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province. Family situation in general, at that time is catching up with the tide of knowledge youth to the mountains and the countryside, she went to the countryside to the Shaanxi Provincial Agricultural Construction Teachers Hospital as a nurse, here a job is 5 years, the good youth years dedicated to the grass-roots nursing career, she worked hard in the work, won people's praise, in 1975 was recommended to Xi'an Medical College, three years of specialist career, let her love endocrine metabolic diseases, and obtained a bachelor's degree in the major. In line with the principle of where to come from and where to go, the workers, peasants, and soldiers college students returned to their original places and went to the Shaanxi Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau Hospital as a resident physician, and three years later, they went to the Sanatorium of the Ministry of Economic and Trade of Qingdao as a resident, attending physician, and worked for more than 10 years. In her work, she realized her shortcomings, so she worked day and night to review and prepare for the exam, and in 1990, she once again stepped into the campus, was admitted to Xi'an Medical University as a working graduate student, and graduated with honors three years later and obtained a master's degree. At this time, the Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital threw an olive branch to her, according to the level of doctors, she went from a doctor who could not be listed in the nursing home to a resident of the top three hospitals in the country, which is such an honor! This is how she refuses to stop chasing and constantly pursues new goals.
Second, from doctor to academician. People say that knowledge changes destiny, and academic qualifications improve social status. He went to the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital to teach Professor Xiang Kunsan, a pioneer in the study of the molecular mechanism of diabetes in mainland China. In the 1990s, the diet of the mainland underwent great changes, people's living standards improved, and obesity and diabetes increased. If it is obvious that the treatment guidelines of foreign countries are not in line with the national conditions of the mainland, he and Professor Xiang work together to study a new diabetes treatment plan that meets the national conditions of the mainland. He presided over the study of the 973 program, identified 40 susceptibility genes of Chinese people, and revealed that the functional defect of islet beta cells is the main mechanism of diabetes in Chinese people. Abdominal obesity was found to be an independent risk factor for the onset of diabetes, which means that abdominal obesity can directly cause diabetes. Her outstanding contributions in the field of diabetes research have been praised by Professor Xiang and colleagues, and she has come step by step from a resident, attending physician, deputy chief physician, professor and director of the Department of Endocrinology, how many sleepless nights, recording her hard work and hard work. In 2001, she was admitted to the Doctoral Program of Shanghai Second Medical University, and successfully graduated three years later, this year has passed the year of confusion, she never considered the impact of age on her career, and lived to learn from old age. After that, he served as a chair professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, a doctoral supervisor, the director of the Shanghai Diabetes Research Institute, the president of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, and was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2021.
Third, the "sweet cause" that I love all my life. In the early 1980s, there was a movie called "Sweet Cause", which included an episode called "Our Tomorrow Is Sweeter than Honey", Jia Weiping devoted himself to the study of sugar metabolism, jokingly calling his research "Sweet Cause". In addition to her advanced molecular research in the laboratory and clinical practice, she is also particularly concerned about the treatment of diabetes in poor and old areas. At the beginning of this century, she led the team to find that the effectiveness of grass-roots diabetes treatment is only 10%, many grass-roots doctors have little understanding of biguanides and sulfonylureas, afraid of hypoglycemia and dare not boldly apply, so that the diabetes treatment rate is low, there are many complications, how to use these two drugs correctly?
She led the Ministry of Civil Affairs to some poor areas to publicize the knowledge of diabetes control and treatment, and guided local doctors to use drugs, so that the diabetes control rate reached 18.6%. She said that the education we received from childhood was "to be bitter, to think of the Red Army twenty-five thousand; Tired, think of the hero Dong Cunrui ", all our efforts are to make patients better, reduce complications, and seek happiness for the people, is our original intention, I love my sweet cause. She is such a person who bowed down for the "sweet cause" of the country, died and died, a respected and loved diabetic fighter.
