近读《生理通讯》,得知在刚刚结束的中国生理学会第18届理事会第二次会议上,一些理事曾就我国生理学学科发展战略问题进行了研讨。许多生理学家明显地感到了一种危机所带来的压力,这就是所谓的“生理学危机”,主要表现在分子生物学对生理学的全面渗透和“兼并”,特别是传统生理学遇到了不可抗拒的挑战,致使濒临“死亡”境地,国外一些著名的医学院校纷纷撤消或易名生理科系。 Read the “Physiological Communications” recently and learned that at the just-concluded second meeting of the 18th council of Chinese Physiological Society, some directors discussed the strategic development of physiology in our country. Many physiologists clearly feel the pressure of a crisis, a so-called “physiological crisis,” mainly manifested in the full penetration of physiology by molecular biology and the “annexation” of physiology, and in particular, the traditional physiology encounters irresistible Challenge, resulting in the verge of “death” situation, some well-known foreign medical universities have withdrawn or renamed Department of Science.
