Mallory（MALLORY的小故事）

原创： LYC 阿尔法医学英语 6天前

今天的主角，是两位以Mallory医生为名，命名的医学词汇。

无论是国内还是国外的病理课，尤其是国内病理的消化系统部分，总会毫无悬念地花超级大的篇幅讲肝病，肝癌。其中，酒精肝的病理表现为出现Mallory body (damaged cytokeratin filaments, necrosis and acute inflammation).

如果这人大量酗酒，就很有可能造成一个叫做Mallory-Weiss syndrome, 其临床表现为大量的呕吐。

此时的脑海顿感：这Mallory好牛啊，一人占了给俩病贡献了自己的大名！赶紧上维基看看此人为何方大牛?

Frank Burr Mallory (1862–1941) was an American pathologist at the Boston city hospital and Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School, after whom the Mallory body is named.

He receives his medical degree in Harvard Medical school in 1890. In 1893 he traveled to Europe to train under Hans Chiari (没错，这个大神就是命名脊髓发育异常的那个Chiari!).

His contributions in the field of pathology included improving techniques and standardization of tissue staining; his book, written with James Homer Wright, (即neuroblastoma里的Homer Wright Rosettes) was the standard textbook in this field.

真是…神仙打架！不过怎么看了半天词条没看见Mallory-Weiss syndrome呢？于是把这个综合征进行查询之后，居然发现了另一个Mallory！

George Kenneth Mallory (1900–1986) was an American pathologist chiefly remembered for describing the Mallory-Weiss Syndrome.

He receives his medical degree in Harvard Medical school in 1926, and subsequently worked at the Mallory Institute of Pathology (founded by, and named after, his father).

啊，原来是父子啊！果然还是拼……不对，这叫家族事业！
