本刊自今年第一期开展医学名词改革的讨论以来,已收到各地读者参加讨论的来稿300多篇。绝大多数读者热烈赞同无产阶级文化大革命以来的医学名词改革,并对何爱华、谢周生二同志的文章进行了严肃的有说服力的批评。不少读者正确指出:“对医学名词改革这一社会主义新生事物的否定不是偶然的,它是当前医疗卫生战线上前进与倒退、革新与守旧、革命与复辟斗争的一种反映。”毛主席指出:“无产阶级和资产阶级之间在意识形态方面的阶级斗争,还是长时期的,曲折的,有时甚至是很激烈的。”因此,我们认为,这场医学名词改革与反改革的斗争也将会长期继续下去。由于本刊即将开展关于中西医结合问题的讨论,有关医学名词改革的讨论,在此暂告一段落。这期发表的贾如宝、陈长风、侯学文三同志的文章,就作为这一讨论的小结。不少读者还提出了医学名词改革的具体倡议,我们准备整理后,在适当时机予以发表,供读者参考。 Since the first issue of medical journal reform in the first issue of this year, we have received over 300 contributions from readers from all over the world. The overwhelming majority of readers enthusiastically agree on the reform of medical terms since the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and have solemnly and convincingly criticized the articles of Comrades He Aihua and Xie Zhousheng. Many readers rightly pointed out: “The negation of the neo-natalism in medical nouns reform is not accidental. It is a reflection of the progress and retrogression in the current medical and health fronts, the reform and preservation of the old, and the revolution and the restoration of the home.” Chairman Mao Pointed out: “The ideological class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie is still protracted, tortuous, and sometimes even fierce.” Therefore, we think that this medical term reform and anti-reform struggle Will continue for a long time. As we are about to discuss the issue of the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, the discussion on the reform of medical terminology is tentatively scheduled for the end. The articles published in this issue of Jia Rubao, Chen Changfeng and Hou Xuewen are summarized in this discussion. Many readers have also put forward specific proposals for the reform of medical nouns. After we prepare them, we will publish them at an appropriate time for reference of readers.
