Why I want to be a neurologist My name is Quan Wang, and my parents give me the given name Quan, because they hold the belief that this name could bless me to be a full-rounded developed person. After three years training in the top 1 neurology department of China – the neurology department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, I consider myself as a high-level clinical neurologist now. I have stepped into the door of neurological world since 2013. In fact, master program is not the very first time I was charmed by human brain that is the most mysterious and beautiful masterpiece of nature. When I was a high school student, my general biology teacher, who was a graduate of neurobiology, taught us lots of knowledge of human nervous system beyond our textbooks. It was the first time I knew the structure and function of neuron. Axons, synapses, neurotransmitters and so many amazing things that exactly exist in my brain animatedly show themselves on the blackboard. The net of neurons looks like a huge palace with countless room, and it trapped me from then on. However, I love this feeling when I was wondering in this palace, because the deeper I explore into this palace, the more I know the dwelling of my soul and thoughts. Held the interest to human brain, I entered Xiangya Medical School, which was founded by the Yale University Foundation in 1914, to study clinical medicine in 2008. At first, I wanted to be a psychiatrist, but after a conversation with my teacher of anatomy Dr. Li, I changed my mind. When I told Dr. Li that I wanted to study on the nervous system of human and might choose psychiatrics as my major, he recommended that neurology might be better for me, because neurologists focused on the exact functions of each part of the brain. He told me the story of Broca’s area, and I was excited by this astonishing discovery of neuroscience, and I knew that I was attracted by these mysteries of human brain. So I spent my entire summer vacation time to work in the neurology department before the rotation.

Scientific writing is so difficult, I don't know how to choose appropriate words. Background and Purpose – Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are radiological defined lesions, being wildly found among hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke patients. Based on previous studies, hypertensive cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are common etiologies of CMBs, and strictly lobar CMBs strongly predict CAA while deep and mixed CMBs are associated with hypertensive CSVD. Although cerebral microbleeds are generally-accepted radiological markers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), some famous cohort studies, such as Framingham study, Rotterdam study and AGES-Reykjavik study, found out that these “silent” lesions were also frequently seen in the general elderly population. However, Chinese cohort study is absent. In order to identify the prevalence and risk factors of CMBs among general Chinese rural population, this research was conducted.

a problem of sudden vomiting at street Yesterday morning, I was waked by severe headache very early. I went out for fresh air, and wanted to buy some analgesic to relieve my pain. Unfortunately, the nearest drug shop was not a 24 hour shop, so I didn't get medicine and just ate a bowl of warm porridge and three meat Baozi. When I headed back my dormitory, I suddenly felt very sick and vomited at the street. I didn't have experience like this, so I didn't know how to deal with the puke. When I stood there helplessly, a sanitation worker just showed up, so I asked him help me to clean the vomit. I was wondering if there is no sanitation worker, how should we tackle with this condition?

Talk about Baidu Recently, a undergraduate published a short video online, which said that he was accepted useless treatment because he was cheated by the medical advertisement provided by Baidu (Baidu is the biggest searching engine in China, just like google in the United States). However, the manager of Baidu said that they didn't have enough professional medical knowledge to distinguish the fake information out of all medical advertisements, so the manager thought that Baidu had no responsibility for this event. Some people agree with the manager, but some people think that if they don't have ability to make sure the information provided in the advertisement, they shouldn't accept these applications.

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I'm a medical student in China. When I was in high school, I was fascinated by biology and chemistry. In contrast to emphasising the rules and statistics in maths and physics, human bodies are sometimes changeable. However, the nature is so amazing, it give us a well-designed bodies which possess billions of cells, and each of they are perform their own works in our bodies, logically and orderly. I love the logics and orders created by nature, and I want to know more about it, even though I cannot know everything about our bodies in my limited lifespan, but I will glad that I have been trying. I want to improve my English. Besides, if anyone want to learn Chinese, I can teach you, but you'd better know English or German, because I don't know other languages.
