读到这则新闻，震惊了好一阵，就好像读到人类刚刚发现月球有人居住一样震撼。这种简单的事实不是一百年前就该发现了吗？事情是这个样子的：
首先，早在1937年就有相关研究论文了，只是西医重视实证，没有切实证据就不能随便定论。其次，《自然》杂志刊登的原文标题并没说肺是造血器官，只是说肺是巨型血小板的主要发现地点。
原文的结论性句子：
1.We conclude from these experiments that the lungs are a primary site of platelet biogenesis. 肺是血小板产生的主要部位。
2.These experiments confirmed that megakaryocytes releasing platelets in the lung circulation originate from outside the lungs. 肺循环释放血小板的巨核细胞来自肺外。
3.In contrast to observations in the lung, we did not observe any intravascular megakaryocytes undergoing proplatelet formation. We did not observe any megakaryocytes in the liver. 血管内、肝脏内没有观察到巨核细胞释放血小板。
4.Indeed, the fact that the extravascular megakaryocytes were smaller than the intravascular megakaryocytesin the lungs and the extravascular megakaryocytes in thebone marrow and spleen could point to the presence of megakaryocyteprogenitors. 血管外巨核细胞比肺中少，骨髓和脾脏的巨核细胞存在可能是和巨核细胞的产生来源有关。
请注意第四段的这句话——
…the extravascular megakaryocytes in the bone marrow and spleen could point to the presence of megakaryocyteprogenitors.
以及结尾的结论——
We propose that the lungs are an ideal bioreactor for the production of mature platelets from megakaryocytes.
我们认为肺是从巨核细胞产生成熟血小板的理想生物反应器。
那么网传的那些“造血”“修改教科书”的话是从哪里来的呢？ 在文章的最最后面，就是最后一句话，是作者的一些展望和猜想概括—— have untapped potential as a contributor to haematopoiesisa contributor to matopoiesis a contributor to haematopoiesis a contributor to haematopoiesis
可能是有人看到了这个消息之后没有看原文献或者没有看全，只看了开头结尾，然后报道上就有了些偏差。最后，中医也并没明确定论。所以，我错怪了祖先和科学家。
