我们很喜欢阅读Ann Rheum Dis的“英雄和修辞学的支柱”部分，该部分于2018年推出，以突出“过去对推进我们学科至关重要的人或科学创新”。1虽然我们承认Barbara Ansell博士CBE，FRCP，FRCS，FRCPCH在2019年6月的问题2中得到了认可，但我们注意到，到目前为止，其余14名“英雄”都是男性。我们认识到，从历史上看，妇女在医学领域的机会有限。然而，也有许多女性在风湿病学领域做出了开创性的贡献。过去的英雄包括：Nanna Svartz教授（1890-1986），她在1938年发现了柳氮磺胺吡啶，并证明了它对类风湿性关节炎的疗效; Gertrude Elion教授（1918-1999），她因开发药物（包括别嘌呤醇，巯基嘌呤和硫唑嘌呤）而获得1988年诺贝尔医学奖; Tsai Fan Yu教授（1911-2007），她进行了别嘌呤醇，丙磺舒和秋水仙碱治疗痛风的首次临床试验。
We have enjoyed reading the ‘Heroes and Pillars of Rheumatology’section of Ann Rheum Dis which was introduced in 2018 to highlight ‘persons or scientific innovations of the past that were pivotal in advancing our discipline’. 1 While we acknowledge the recognition of Dr Barbara Ansell CBE, FRCP, FRCS, FRCPCH in the June 2019 issue, 2 we note that the remaining 14 ‘Heroes’ profiled to date 3 have been men. We recognise that, historically, opportunities for women in medicine were limited. However, there are many women who have made ground-breaking contributions to the field of rheumatology. Examples of past Heroes include:► Professor Nanna Svartz (1890–1986) who discovered sulfasalazine in 1938 and demonstrated its efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis.► Professor Gertrude Elion (1918–1999) who was awarded the 1988 Nobel Prize in medicine for her work developing drugs including allopurinol, mercaptopurine and azathioprine.► Professor Tsai-Fan Yu (1911–2007) who undertook the first clinical trials of allopurinol, probenecid and colchicine for management of gout.
