In April 2015, the first "Yangcheng Good Doctor" selection hosted by the domestic health portal Family Doctor Online and supported by many local media in Guangzhou was officially announced, and Professor Liu Side of the Department of Gastroenterology of Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University was selected.
Professor Zhou Dianyuan, the elder of the domestic digestive endoscopy, once praised him: "Very young and promising! He has achieved the top one or two in the industry in terms of colonoscopy and early diagnosis of colorectal cancer, and in a sense, the latecomer is on top, and he has come ahead of us. In order to better feel and improve the gastroscopy and colonoscopy technique, he did 8 gastroscopes and 6 colonoscopies himself.

"Yangcheng Good Doctor" business card: Liu Side
Liu Side, Professor, Chief Physician, Doctoral Supervisor, Director of the Department of Gastroenterology, Southern Hospital, Southern Medical University, Member of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese Democratic League, Member of the Family Doctor Online Medicine Committee. He has been engaged in the clinical and research work of colonoscopy diagnosis and treatment and early colorectal cancer endoscopic diagnosis and treatment for a long time, and has won 6 military and provincial scientific and technological achievement awards, 6 national patent authorizations, 52 papers published, 2 key fund projects of the National 863 Program, 7 national and provincial and ministerial scientific research fund projects, and more than 10 million yuan in research funds. In 2009, he was selected as a national candidate for the "New Century Millions of Talents Project", in 2010 he was appointed as a "Pearl River Scholar" Distinguished Professor of Guangdong Provincial Colleges and Universities, and in 2012, he was selected as a high-level talent (outstanding expert) in Guangzhou.
"Yangcheng Good Doctor" reputation: endured 8 gastroscopes and 6 colonoscopies just to empathize with patients
Unlike many medical students who do not know how to choose a major, Liu Side graduated from the Third Military Medical University, determined to become a gastroenterologist, he laughed, "Too many relatives and friends suffer from digestive tract diseases, I want to alleviate their pain." ”
In more than 20 years of medical career, he has always adhered to this ideal and made it the norm of medical practice: treating patients as relatives. He revealed, "I often wonder, if this patient is my relative, how will I treat him? ”
Not only treating patients as relatives, Liu Side often does something that empathizes with patients and is used to improve patients' feelings. Gastroscopy and colonoscopy are the most accurate examination methods for diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases today, but patients who have done gastroscopy and colonoscopy know that this is an invasive examination, the operation process will make people feel uncomfortable, and the patient's acceptance is relatively low. In order to improve the operation method of gastroscopy and colonoscopy, Professor Liu Side asked colleagues to perform 8 gastroscopies and 6 colonoscopies for himself. He confessed, "I have endured many gastrointestinal endoscopy examinations, one of the gains is that I can get the real feelings of the patient during the examination process, can really feel the pain of the patient during the examination, have these experiences can make me better understand the patient's feelings, better correct the manual skills in the examination process, and ultimately minimize the patient's pain, but also help to improve their skills." ”
At the request of Liu Side, now, young doctors in the gastroenterology department of Nanfang Hospital need to try gastroscopes and colonoscopies first, which is a compulsory course, "If you have not felt it, how can you understand the patient's feelings?" How can it be improved? "Professor Liu Side, who usually speaks and drizzles, exudes great perseverance in the requirements of professional skills.
"Good Doctor of Yangcheng" Medical Ethics: Doctors should be worthy of the trust of patients
As a well-known gastrointestinal endoscopy expert in China, many patients come to find him, he never resigns, he believes that the patient comes to the door, is the trust of a doctor, should do what they can, to be worthy of the trust of the patient.
Last year, a female patient in Shantou was transferred to the Southern Hospital due to cholangitis and gallstone blockage and was treated by Professor Liu Side, and the patient was transferred from Shantou to the Southern Hospital at night, and it was already past the end of the work time, but Liu Side stayed and waited for this patient. After carefully understanding the condition and completing the relevant examinations, Professor Liu Side worked overtime to give the patient a retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the operation was successful, and the patient was treated in time. When the patient's son recalled his mother's medical experience, he was still deeply grateful: "That day Professor Liu Side personally carried my mother to the ERCP stage, and every time he learned about and analyzed the condition from my mother, he always smiled and gave my mother great comfort and confidence. He was always busy. But no matter how tired he was, he always spoke softly, making people feel like a spring breeze, and both patients and families felt a deep sense of comfort and a strong sense of security. ”
Another patient wrote affectionately on the Internet: My father, sister, sister, and myself have found Professor Liu to do gastroscopy colonoscopy, and they feel very deeply. He is not only highly skilled in operation, good service attitude, but also very patient, always smiling. It is reported that he once did a gastroscopic colonoscopy for Premier Zhu Rongji, and it is indeed worthy of the name. His approach to the lens is so light that he will not feel the obvious discomfort caused by the insertion without anesthesia...
"Yangcheng Good Doctor" technology: at the forefront of blocking digestive tract tumors
On Professor Liu Side's desk there is a pale yellow ordinary notebook, which clearly records the things that need to be dealt with every day, surgery, lectures, consultations, meetings... Research, clinical, teaching is almost all he has. Professor Liu Side described his daily work trajectory as a three-point line: hospital, school, home. He pointed to the building opposite his office window, the top floor of which was his home. Although he can see his home close through the glass window, due to the busyness of work, he does not return home until more than 10 o'clock in the evening almost every day, and the total number of weekends each year is only 5 or 6, and he does not spend much time at home.
Professor Liu Side's research area is mainly the early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is one of the highest incidence of cancer in Guangdong Province, and many patients die from colorectal cancer every year. Although there is a 98% chance that early colorectal cancer can be cured, the early detection of colorectal cancer is not simple, and the current proportion of early colorectal cancer is only about 10%. He was the first to report the endoscopic morphology of lateral developmental tumors of the large intestine in China, and since then, he has also conducted a large number of clinical studies on the endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of flat colorectal tumors, especially for the endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of flat colorectal tumors, which has solved the technical problems of endoscopic treatment of lateral developmental tumors of the large intestine and flat early colorectal cancer.
In order to better promote the standardized diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer, as early as 2007, Professor Liu Side served as the drafter responsible for formulating China's first "Specification for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Early Colorectal Cancer Endoscopy". In the past 10 years, he has also spared no effort to promote the new technology of early colorectal cancer diagnosis and treatment, actively advocated the new concept of focusing on the diagnosis of colorectal cancer on precancerous lesions, and trained a large number of endoscopists for China by insisting on the national continuing education project "Colonoscopy Single Operation and Early Colorectal Cancer Advanced Training Class", so that the detection rate of early colorectal cancer in China has been significantly improved, so that thousands of colorectal cancer patients can be found early and completely cured. As a member of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he also seized the opportunity of each proposal to actively promote the prevention and early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.
As an explorer at the forefront of the discipline, Professor Liu Side's research results are more than that. In 2003 came out of the double airbag small colonoscope through the mouth to the cecum success rate is low, the examination time is long, some patients can not tolerate pain, in view of the shortcomings of the double airbag small colonoscope, Liu Side put forward the design idea of guided single sac small colonoscopy, and in the same year by the national utility model patent authorization, its products will become a new generation of high-efficiency small colonoscopy. In view of the defect that the massive images of the capsule endoscopy are inefficient and easy to miss diagnosis, he proposed the idea of a digital image filtering system and was funded by the Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology Program project and the key funding of the provincial "industry-university-research" project.
The research is a long-term work, Professor Liu Side revealed that he is still conducting research on the subject of graduate school - biological artificial liver project research, which has been carried out for 19 years. There are 500,000 new liver cancers in the world every year, and China accounts for 55%, if this study is successful, it will be the biggest blessing for liver cancer patients. In the long-term research, Professor Liu Side put forward innovative views on the research of human biomaterials and human liver stem cells, and put forward the idea of "full-function immortalization of hepatic adenoma cells" on the basis of the original research, and was funded by two key projects in the field of "863" stem cell and tissue engineering in the country, serving as the deputy leader of the research group and the sub-project leader.
In view of the disadvantages of gastroscopy and colonoscopy bringing discomfort to patients, he is also conducting research on capsule gastroscopy and colonoscopy, and has obtained relevant patents. "We want patients to swallow a pill like a capsule to see the digestive system, and we also want capsules to be combined with mobile phone software, so that patients can do examinations at home and pass the imaging results of the capsule mirrors to experts, eliminating the need for patients to queue up in the hospital for examinations and travel back and forth."
epilogue:
As a young and promising digestive oncology expert, but also a central health care expert, overhead there are Guangdong Provincial CPPCC members, the new century millions of talent candidates and other dazzling aura, Professor Liu Side always maintained a calm and calm: honor is the affirmation given by the people, behind the honor is more responsibility, how to live up to this title. In the interview, Professor Liu Side talked most about the treatment of diseases and the help his research helps patients. No matter what height he went, his ideal never changed: to better solve the patient's pain.
