 详细介绍 / Introduction

埃米尔·阿道夫·冯·贝林 (1854 - 1917)，也称为贝林医生，是德国医学家，细菌学家。 人体的免疫系统可以产生各种抗体，这些抗体可以中和由细菌释放的有害物质或毒素，也就是说让有毒物质或毒素失活，进而保护人体。贝林医生发现，这些具备保护功能的抗体存在于血浆或血清中，并且可以从其他人体甚至是动物的血浆或血清，转移到病人身上。当病人接收这些具备抗体的血清或血浆之后，也可以获得免疫保护。 贝林医生由此发明了抗白喉血清和抗狂犬病血清，为血清疗法的创始人之一。1891 年，他首次成功地用羊的血清治愈了一例白喉患儿。1892 年，研究出批量生产“抗毒素”的方法，两年后成功生产出白喉疫苗。1901 年，他因此项发明荣膺首届诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。 由于当时白喉是危害儿童的重大疾病，贝林医生也被称为“儿童的救星”。 该雕塑由广东梅县东山中学 86 届同学会捐赠。

Emil Adolf von Behring (1854 – 1917), also known as Dr. Behring, was a German physician and bacteriologist. The human immune system can produce a variety of antibodies that neutralize harmful substances or toxins released by bacteria, thereby deactivating them and protecting the body. Dr. Behring discovered that these protective antibodies exist in plasma or serum and can be transferred from the plasma or serum of other humans or even animals to patients. When a patient receives plasma or serum containing these antibodies, they can also obtain immune protection. Dr. Behring was a pioneer in the field of serum therapy and invented antitoxins for diphtheria and rabies. In 1891, he was the first to successfully treat a child with diphtheria using sheep serum. The following year, he developed a method for mass-producing "antitoxins," and two years later successfully produced a diphtheria vaccine. In recognition of these achievements, he was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1901. Dr. Behring earned the nickname "Savior of Children" due to his work in developing a treatment for diphtheria, a serious disease that predominantly affected children at the time. This sculpture was donated by the Alumni Association of Class 1986 of Meixian Dongshan High School in Guangdong.
