元大阪大学附属病院医師 論文データの改ざんやねつ造
2020年8月18日 23時27分
これは大阪大学と国立循環器病研究センターが会見を開いて明らかにしました。
研究不正が見つかったのは大阪大学附属病院に以前所属し、国立循環器病研究センターでも室長を務めていた野尻崇医師が2013年から2016年にかけて発表した肺がん手術の際に炎症を抑える薬剤などについての5本の論文です。
掲載されたデータに不正の疑いがあるとの指摘があったことから大学などが調査した結果、カルテにない数値を用いてグラフを作成するなど複数のねつ造や改ざんがあったと認定したということです。
調査に対し、医師は「ミスで不正は行っていない」と説明したということです。
医師はすでに退職しているということですが、大学などでは論文の取り下げを勧告するとともに懲戒解雇相当の処分にしました。
このうち1本の論文は、大阪大学附属病院が行った160人の患者に薬剤を投与した臨床研究の際に参考にされていましたが、これまでのところ健康被害は出ていないということで、病院は参加した患者に文書で謝罪したということです。
大阪大学と国立循環器病研究センターは「このような事態が発生したことは誠に遺憾です。意識の向上に一層努めるとともに再発防止に取り組みます」としています。
Translation
Osaka University and others had announced that there was a fraud on data tampering and fabrication regarding the research data on the treatment of lung cancer etc. published by a doctor who was belong to them in the past. Since the paper was used as a reference for clinical studies in administering drugs to patients, Osaka University and others apologized to the participating patients.
This was made clear by an interview between Osaka University and the National Center for Cardiovascular Disease Research.
Research misconduct was found done by Dr. Takashi Nojiri who was previously belong to the Osaka University Hospital as the director of the National Cardiovascular Research Center relating to five papers announced from 2013 to 2016 about drugs etc. that suppressed inflammation during lung cancer surgery.
After it was pointed out that the posted data was suspected to be fraudulent, the university etc. investigated it and found that there were multiple falsifications and tampering, such as creating graphs using figures not in the clinical records.
In response to the investigation, the doctor explained that he did not commit fraud by mistake.
It was said that the doctor had already retired, but universities and others recommended that the thesis be withdrawn, and the disciplinary dismissal was taken.
One of these papers was used as a reference during a clinical study conducted by Osaka University Hospital on 160 patients, but no health hazard had been reported so far. The hospital had apologized in writing to the patients who were involved.
Osaka University and the National Center for Cardiovascular
Disease Research said, "We regret that such a situation has occurred. We
will try hard to raise awareness and prevent recurrence."
So, it is
nice to note that Osaka University and the National Center for Cardiovascular
Disease Research have the courage to admit the error occurred in their organizations.
