走近诺贝尔医学奖之中华第一人——写在伍连德逝世50周年之际

The First Chinese Approached The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine:Written on the Occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Death of Wu Lien-teh

在1910年东北鼠疫大流行防控中,伍连德因为在肺鼠疫方面的工作,尤其是发现了土拨鼠在肺鼠疫传染中的作用,获得1935年诺贝尔医学奖的提名,成为历史上第一个走近诺贝尔医学奖的华人。伍连德与诺贝尔医学奖擦肩而过,有被提名项目自身学术影响的因素,也有当时中国社会发展和国际影响的因素。

During the fight against the plague in the northeast China in 1910, for his Work on Pneumonic Plague and especially the discovery of the role played by the Tarbagan in its transmission, Wu Lien-teh was nominated for The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, becoming the first one of Chinese who had been nominated. Wu Lien-teh passed the prize, for the influence of the item he had been nominated and for the influence of Chinese social development at that time and international backgrounds as well.
