星期一澳大利亚人Barry J. Marshall 和 Robin Warren由于发现是细菌感染而不是压力导致了胃和小肠溃疡从而赢得了2005 年诺贝尔医学奖。 诺贝尔奖委员会说, 1982 年的发现使胃溃疡从一种慢性的, 频繁使人丧失能力的疾病变成了一种可由抗生素和其它医药短期治愈的疾病。由于他们的工作, 现已确定这些新诺贝尔奖获得者发现的幽门螺旋杆菌是胃溃疡的最常见原因。

Australians Win Nobel Prize In Medicine

Australians Barry J. Marshall and Robin Warren won the 2005 Nobel Prize in medicine Monday for a discovery that defied bacterial infection-not stress-cause ulcers in the stomach and intestine. The 1982 discovery transformed peptic ulcer disease from a chronic, frequently disabling condition to one that can be cured by a short regimen of antibiotics and other medicines, the Nobel Prize committee said. Due to their work, it has now been established that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which the new Nobel winners discovered, is the most common cause of peptic ulcers.
