【科学网】国际学术界写给中国卫生部部长和华中科大校长的公开信
|||
前些日子网络上出现了《31位国际学术同仁声援肖传国医生的公开信》，有人质疑这个公开信是否是伪造的？在这封公开信后面签名的各国泌尿学科专家是否知道这封公开信的内容？
为此有人专门给这些专家去信、去电话进行了核实，得到的答复（原Email转载）：

Subject: Re: Your verification of the attached open letter please
Yes the letter is real. Dr. Xiao's academic achievements are respected throughout the world. Attached is an updated version with a couple more signatures. Not sure what the Chinese translations says, hopefully it represents the letter accurately.

相信英语过了4级的同学应该能看懂上面这封信的内容。信中提到Kenneth Peters重新修正了公开信的内容，增加了几位国际学术界教授的签名。
现在公开信是写给中国卫生部部长和华中科技大学校长的，原文件是PDF文件，我把它作为附件放在这篇博文后面，同时，为了方便那些不愿意下载附件的懒蛋们阅读，兄弟我找了一个办法把原始PDF文档转换成了WORD文档，然后把内容贴在这里。
关于这封公开信，反面教材同学只有三句话：
1、有人说在这个签名里出现了好多国际学术圈大牛的名字，但遗憾的是我不是这个专业的，所以我一个也不认识。
2、我最后一次提醒中国媒体界的各位记者编辑和评论员注意这封信的内容，在报道肖传国是否造假的问题上，过去5年里你们一边倒的做法已经让中国学术圈中的不少人对中国媒体整体的职业道德产生了怀疑，你们如果继续无视来自国内乃至世界科学界的声音，继续只是单纯片面的报道一些与事实真相大相径庭的消息，那么你们的做法最终将使中国的学术声誉和媒体声誉集体蒙羞。
做事不要太过分，出来混迟早要还的。这话说得挺难听，但就是这么一个道理，你们懂的。
3、义和团的朋友请不要上火，在学术问题上，你要相信洋鬼子里也有好人。
Open letter in support of Chuan-Guo Xiao, M.D. from the International Academic Community
September 29, 2010
Mr. Zhu Chen, Minister
Ministry of Health
People’s Republic of China
Mr. Peigen Li, President
Huazhong University of Science and Technology
People’s Republic of China
Minister Chen and President Li:
We have all had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Chuan-Guo Xiao for many years. He is an internationally respected surgeon-scientist who has made major advances in the development of neuroregeneration to restore voiding and bowel function. Dr. Xiao performed groundbreaking animal research in the United States, demonstrating that a motor nerve that innervates the leg can be used to reinnervate the bladder and bowel. This reinnervation allows for development of a reflex to initiate bladder function. The results of his studies were published in peer-reviewed journals and other scientists have replicated Xiao’s findings confirming these results.
Dr. Xiao eventually took the courageous step of moving from animal research to human studies and began performing the rerouting procedure on patients with spinal cord injury and spina bifida in China. Neurogenic bladder is life threatening in China due to a lack of both antimuscarinics and intermittent catheterization and lessening the complications of neurogenic bladder would be considered a lifesaving success. Patients with neurogenic bladder and bowel suffer greatly and endure a host of issues such as urinary retention, incontinence, recurrent infections, renal insufficiency, fecal incontinence, constipation,and poor quality of life. For a procedure as complicated as nerve rerouting requiring nerve regeneration, one cannot expect normalization of bladder and bowel function to be the definition of success. What is
important is that the benefits outweigh the risks of the procedure.
Dr. Xiao published his clinical results in peer-reviewed journals and was twice honored by the Jack Lapides Essay Contest - one of the most respected international awards given to scientists who make major contributions to the field of neurourology. In 2008 he was named the Kelm Hjalmas Memorial Lecturer from the International Children’s Continence Society for his scientific achievements. Many of us have traveled to China to examine patients treated by Dr. Xiao and/or have been trained by him in the nerve rerouting surgery he invented. Dr. Xiao is a very skilled surgeon who is passionate about patient care and works tirelessly to train physicians around the world in performing his nerve rerouting procedure.
In the United States, an independent and very rigorous pilot research trial was performed to test the safety and efficacy of this procedure. The one-year results were recently published in the Journal of Urology. At the 12-month follow-up visit, a cutaneous to bladder reflex was found in 7 of 9 spina bifida patients, confirming that rerouting does occur. This finding by itself is remarkable and Dr. Xiao should be commended. In addition, a number of patients demonstrated improvement in bladder and bowel function, which has continued to improve with longer patient follow-up. The 36-month results are currently being analyzed and will be reported in the near future. The pilot data was supportive of Dr. Xiao’s procedure and now an NIH sponsored clinical trial is being conducted to further study lumbar to sacral nerve rerouting in spina bifida patients. In addition, similar procedures have been done worldwide with Dr. Xiao helping to mentor the surgeons at each site.
The Chinese people and government should be proud of Dr. Xiao for his dedication to his patients, his scientific achievements, and his willingness to train doctors around the world on how to perform his surgery. The international scientific community was shocked to hear of Dr. Xiao’s arrest. Those of us who know Dr. Xiao well find it difficult to believe that he is involved in these attacks.
Dr. Xiao is a compassionate man who is respected worldwide for his integrity and his innovative scientific contributions to society. We implore the Chinese government and authorities to treat Dr. Xiao fairly and to protect his human rights as these charges are investigated. Please strongly consider Dr. Xiao’s scientific and humanitarian contributions to the world as facts are gathered in this case.
