There is a large office on the top floor of "Cell" that can accommodate two hundred people. This office is rarely open, but every time it is open, there are major and important matters to be discussed.
At this time, the atmosphere in this office was depressing. Everyone was looking down at the information on their laptops. In front of the projector in the conference room, there was a man, thin and tall, who was Keao!
The decision to publish a special issue cannot be decided by Keao alone. The editor-in-chief even has to obtain the approval of the general manager of the company's department.
Because of the identity and status of a magazine like "Cell", you have to pay great attention to everything you say and do, especially when publishing articles that have a positional nature.
Clary Naxter, editor-in-chief of "Cell", and Li Fansi, general manager of Elsevier's "Cell" magazine, all attended this meeting.
Keao said affectionately and seriously: "Cobalt-chromium alloy is currently the most widely used alloy material in the world. The latest research reports that the number of people using cobalt-chromium alloy hip prostheses is 2 million every year, and the number of times cobalt-chromium alloy knee joints are used is 300.
Tens of thousands, combined with various other cobalt-chromium alloy prosthetic materials, this is a terrifying number."
"Now the actual research results have confirmed some of the side effects of cobalt-chromium alloy. As a leading company in the cobalt-chromium alloy industry and a leader in orthopedic medical equipment, Hankison has been engaged in cobalt-chromium alloy research for more than 20 years.
Time has passed, but the relevant reports on cobalt-chromium alloy prostheses have not been updated at all. What does this mean? This shows that this is an intentional concealment."
"The people at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are simply a bunch of hateful capitalists. They are very lax in testing medical equipment. Often, only when new products are updated and have the efficacy of the previous generation can they be shipped accurately.
The management of medical devices in the United States is simply a serious loophole when it comes to the market. Ferno Group has taken advantage of this legal loophole to gradually put new cobalt-chromium alloy products on the market and obtain relevant batch numbers!"
The U.S. FDA is an authoritative international medical review agency. It is authorized by the U.S. Congress, the federal government, and is the highest law enforcement agency specializing in food and drug administration. It is an organization composed of doctors, lawyers, microbiologists, pharmacologists, chemists and statisticians.
A government health regulatory monitoring agency composed of professionals dedicated to protecting, promoting and improving national health. Many other countries seek and receive help from the FDA to promote and monitor the safety of their own products.
To put it bluntly, the US FDA is actually the Food and Drug Administration of many European and American countries!
Keao said angrily: "This is dereliction of duty! It is disrespectful to taxpayers and contempt for human rights. Therefore, editor-in-chief and managers, we must expose them and expose them!"
Li Fansi took a deep breath, this matter is really big!
It affects the politics of the United States, the subsequent presidential election, the soundness of American laws, and the internal party politics of members of the U.S. Congress...
Published?
Is this something a "cell" can bear?
He closed his eyes and imagined in his mind the pressure he would face from society and public opinion once it was published.
Imagine what kind of future "cell" publishing house and even the entire Elsevier Group will face.
He is a general manager in charge of "cell" affairs, but to put it bluntly, "cell" is just a publishing house under the Elsevier Group.
What is Elsevier?
It is one of the top three information analysis companies in the world, mainly engaged in scientific and medical information analysis, and is one of the industry giants!
Since 2015, the group's annual profit has reached 5.8 billion pounds, and the annual growth rate has reached 37%.
This is an information company with capital operations.
Li Fansi is the general manager of "Cell" and one of the shareholders of Elsevier. He has the right to operate "Cell" independently.
Therefore, he can publish "cell" and publish anything without even contacting the head office.
Just to do it or not to do it?
Clary clenched his fists. He was a cultural person and a scientist. After listening to the report, he slammed the table and stood up: "Publish! It must be published! Sooner or later, American culture will be distorted by these hateful capitalists.
, the supremacy of human rights is abandoned like a piece of grass!”
Clari turned and stared at Li Fansi: "Manager, we are a publishing house and a media! Why is our impact factor so high? Because of people's trust and the loyalty of our readers!"
"The hundreds of millions of pounds in taxes every year from "Cell" are not used to feed the wolves. Our money comes from readers. We have the right and obligation to tell the public the truth!"
Clary's words were so heartfelt that Li Fansi suddenly raised his head, stared at Keao and said: "Let the institute start verification immediately, and publish it immediately after verification! The special issue is published, Mr. Clary, Mr. Keao, you are personally responsible for this manuscript.
, you make arrangements."
After saying that, Li Fansi stood up and left. He was going to contact The Lancet!
"Cell" and "The Lancet" are both publishing houses owned by Elsevier, and are very influential in the field of science and medicine.
Li Fansi was also in the new wave at this time. As a Dutchman, he did not receive absolute fairness in the United States. Now that he has done it this time, he must make it bigger. In fact, he also feels that the power of "cell" is no longer enough to fight against this terror.
of power.
But this is a huge opportunity for "cell" and Elsevier!
As a listed company, the public's influence is very large, and it is unimaginable to reveal such a big news this time to increase the influence of "Cell".
Speaking of which, Elsevier’s growth path has not been smooth sailing. In other words, from the beginning to today, The Lancet has relied on the people, not the government. It has a group of the most loyal fans, and even a group of
The strength of the government hates him to the core and gnashes its teeth.
It was heavily criticized for an article published as early as 1988, in which the author significantly promoted the MMR vaccine and autism, and related to some vaccination controversies (ine controversy).
The possibility of connection. In 2004, the Lancet Medical Journal published a partial retraction of this controversial article. The Halton government also publicly stated that this article was "fatally wrong" due to one of the
The author had a serious conflict of interest that he did not state to The Lancet when the journal published an estimate of 100,000 civilian deaths in Iraq in November 2004.
Two days before the US presidential election, this again attracted accusations of political intentions.
The online version of "The Lancet" magazine announced the discovery of a new type of super bacteria that can erode the human internal system. The most powerful antibiotics currently available in humans are unable to do anything about it. Such a super killer is scary enough, but for Indians
What is more terrifying than this "super bacteria" is its name: "New Delhi Metalloenzyme 1". The report attracted attention as soon as it came out, and even caused a stir in India. Indian Deputy Minister of Health Rao said
, was "shocked" by The Lancet's publication of the article, and believed that the article "had no scientific basis."
It is no exaggeration to say that along the way, "The Lancet" has received resistance from the Indian government, British media, American political parties, the Dutch Ministry of Health... and many other forces.
However, these have not affected the sales of "The Lancet" at all. On the contrary, the strength of "The Lancet" can be improved to a higher level with every incident.
Therefore, Li Fansi decided to learn from the development history of The Lancet. As for how the directors within the Elsevier Group discuss things...anyway, the directors at Elsevier have long been accustomed to managers who are not afraid of big things.
Li Fansi stood on the top floor of the 42nd floor, looking into the distance: It has been four or five years since "Cell" ranked first in impact factor last time, and we haven't won the first place for a long time.

After Bai Ye sent the magazine to Keao, he was not idle either. He couldn't guarantee that "cell" could be released immediately, but he could!
Because "Puze Latest Medicine" is his base, this is also the main reason why he originally increased the influence of the magazine.
At first, Bai Ye actually wanted to create his own journal, but at that time, "Puze Latest Medicine" appeared, which made Bai Ye give up the idea.
But no matter what, the current "Puze Latest Medicine" is Bai Ye's one-stop shop, and even the dean can't use it.
Within a week, a special issue called "Alloy Scam" was published!
Now, more and more people are ordering "Puze's Latest Medicine", and the vanguard team that last published the complications of alloy for ten thousand people has attracted too many people's attention.
And this time "Alloy Scam" is the main meal!
Therefore, as soon as the journal was released, it attracted the attention of countless people and ordered to watch it.
The influence of "Puze Latest Medicine" may not be high around the world, but in Asia and China, it is definitely the leader.
Therefore, after this special issue was released, everyone who followed the journal immediately opened their eyes after reading it.
This... Pu Ze is becoming more and more courageous...
Everyone can't even think of how to describe it, because this journal is equivalent to a war on cobalt-chromium alloy!
Cobalt-chromium alloy is a field with a market worth hundreds of billions. Is Puze stupid?
Gao Yueyang sat in the office, picked up the "Alloy Scam" in his hand, and thought to himself: This "Puze Latest Medicine" has developed really well under the leadership of Bai Ye, and the impact factor is getting higher and higher. If you have time,
Let him come to Union Medical College for guidance. After all, he is also a professor at Union Medical College, so he cannot favor one over another.
But... ten minutes later, Gao Yueyang's eyebrows tightened. He was an orthopedic surgeon himself, and he knew what cobalt-chromium alloy was.
At present, cobalt-chromium alloy is the most commonly used in China.
The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more scared he became. He didn't expect... this cobalt-chromium alloy could be so harmful!
It turns out that Bai Ye came to Xiehe a few days ago just to study these things.
However, when he continued to read, he saw Feinau, Hankison... when he saw the license issued by the US FDA, and the 1999 instructions for the use of cobalt-chromium alloy prostheses, he felt a chill behind him.
, scalp feels tight!
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.
Gao Yueyang stood up suddenly!
This kid is so naughty!
Doesn't he know what he is publishing?
Cobalt chromium alloy, what are you doing?
Gao Yueyang can't think of any other adjectives. I don't know the importance anymore. It's not an exaggeration to say that I don't know how to live or die!
Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, you are a little too impatient.
Is this something you should research and expose?
However, he thought of Bai Ye's character and knew that this child was anxious. He couldn't bear to see countless people in dire straits. He saw that countless people were kept in the dark and spent a lot of money to get something that was not safe.
Ignorance and helplessness when it comes to medical equipment!
Gao Yueyang quickly called Liu Boli, then hurriedly stood up, greeted the driver and rushed towards Puze.
When Liu Boli got the news from Gao Yueyang, he was in the outpatient clinic. At this time, he didn't care about the outpatient clinic and got up directly to find Bai Ye.
This kid, he played too much this time.
For those who did this last time, the grass on the grave is now more than four meters high.
This matter is no longer a cobalt-chromium alloy matter. It has developed to the point where the U.S. FDA has joined forces with Ferno Hankison to expand the production of unhealthy medical equipment, dump it on the world, and harm people's health...
This is too big!
The hat is too big...
Bai Ye, can you bear it?
Liu Boli's first thought was to call Bai Ye over and have someone protect him for the next few days.
But after arriving at the editorial office, he saw that the entire editorial office was working in full swing. There were stacks of "Alloy Scam" on the table. Liu Boli picked up a copy and saw that all the instructors in the more than 30 articles in it were white.
When I was crying, I even felt my heart sinking.
This kid is so careless!
what to do?
Liu Boli couldn't get through when he called Bai Ye. The anxious Mr. Liu quickly got up and went to Zhongnanhai.
I muttered in my heart: Bai Ye, please don’t let anything happen to you...
In just two days, "Alloy Scam" spread widely, immediately attracting everyone's attention, and even... shocked everyone.
Those research institutes have begun to verify the authenticity of the journal, and most people have begun to panic. If this is a real thing, it will definitely be a major event involving tens of millions of people.
People's panic is brewing!
Major research institutes are studying its validity and reliability.
And some people can't sit still at all.
One day at the end of October, Pierce, the head of Hankison Company, made an official statement publicly:
"Request Puze Latest Medicine to stop slandering and spreading rumors about Hankison, and publicly apologize for his behavior. Furthermore, Hankison's company will send lawyers to China."
"We resolutely safeguard our rights and will resolutely pursue legal responsibility for Bai Ye and Puze who have harmed our company's reputation. We hope China can handle this matter fairly!"
