The magazine claims to be "the only gynecological endocrine journal in China", but it has made subversive mistakes in its core fields, seriously damaging its professional authority.

After the news of the fraud of nurse Huo Wenjing's thesis broke out, Shandong University Qilu Hospital quickly made a decision to deal with it:
On the morning of May 5, our institute paid attention to the relevant paper information feedback from netizens and carried out investigations as soon as possible. After verification, there was an academic misconduct problem with the circulating papers. Our hospital gave nurse Huo Moumou the demerit and demotion in accordance with regulations and regulations, and canceled his qualifications for various promotions and promotions within five years.
This paper, titled "The clinical application effect of targeted nursing intervention in the perioperative period of uterine fibroids", is not very clever because it created 55 "male patients with uterine fibroids" - Huo Wenjing said, "80 patients with uterine fibroids were selected, including 27 male patients and 13 female patients in the control group, and 28 male patients in the observation group and 12 female patients."
Qilu Hospital is very well-known and is a comprehensive tertiary-class A hospital, directly managed by the National Health Commission (NHC). The hospital was founded in 1890 and is located in Lixia District, Jinan City. It is one of the earliest modern hospitals in China.
"North Union, South Xiangya, East Qilu, West China and West China", the four famous medical centers in the Chinese medical community had a statement in the last century.
If Huo Wenjing is the director of the key department of Qilu Hospital, then this scandal will be a big deal. But she is just a nurse, so a friend said in the social circle: The focus of this incident should be on the electronic magazine "Practical Gynecological Endocrinology" under the supervision of the State Drug Administration, sponsored by China Medical Science and Technology Press, and edited by Academician Union.
But no media has seen them interview yet.

Let's see who compiled this magazine.
The main columns of this magazine include:
Papers: Publish original research papers.
Summary: A systematic summary of research progress in a certain field.
Clinical research: Exploring clinical practice and research in the field of gynecological endocrine.
Diagnostic technology: introduce new diagnostic technologies and methods.
Clinical Nursing: Sharing nursing experience in gynecological endocrine patients.
Wide angle of medicine: covers a wide range of topics in the field of gynecological endocrine.
The editorial team is as follows:
It is editor-in-chief by Academician Lang Jinghe, a famous leader in the field of obstetrics and gynecology in my country, and Professor Sun Aijun is the executive editor, and co-organized by the Gynecological Endocrinology Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. A well-known expert and professor in the field of obstetrics and gynecology in the country serves as deputy editor-in-chief, executive editor and editorial committee member.
Academician Lang Jinghe is famous. He was once the director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Many people know this.
Sun Aijun needs to give a key introduction. He is the director of the Endocrinology and Reproductive Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and has successively served as the head of the "National 15th, 11th, and 12th Five-Year Support Plan key research projects, National Natural Science Foundation of China's Health Development Special Projects.
The content of this journal is led by Peking Union Medical College Hospital, so there is basically no objection... In the Jiachen year (2025), the Union Medical College is really unfavorable!
How did this kind of fake paper be published at a glance? This is a huge mystery. Didn’t “Practical Gynecological Endocrinology” review the manuscript?
The paper was published in 2017 but was not exposed by the public until 2025, reflecting the lack of effective paper traceability and error correction mechanisms for journals.
What is even more ironic is that the magazine claims to be "the only gynecological endocrine journal in China", but it has made subversive mistakes in its core fields, seriously damaging its professional authority.
Is it necessary to publish the article if I give it money, so I don’t need to review it?
We know that many internal hospital staff are now involved in writing papers. Zhou Haiyun, the Ninth People's Hospital of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, once acted as the participant author and took the initiative to contact a third-party institution to write a paper on gastric cancer research. After the failure in 2021, he was punished by a party warning, demotion and transfer from his original unit.
From simple gender logic errors to complex experimental data tampering, all expose the formalization of peer review.
You should know that nurses like Huo Wenjing can’t be able to publish in national academic journals by spending money.
So, Lang Jinghe and Sun Aijun - two big names in the Union Alliance, shouldn’t you take the initiative to come forward and explain the whole story?
Also, by the way, many people are puzzled, why does a nurse need to publish in an authoritative national journal? A friend of mine complained:
The question is why nurses write papers?
Similarly, why do primary and secondary school teachers write papers?
What's the point except for maggots in the ulcerated areas of the fattening system?
