Zhong Shizhen's main achievements

In the field of anatomy, Zhong Shizhen initiated biomechanical research combining science, engineering and medicine, and established the China People's Liberation Army and Guangdong Biomechanics Key Laboratory, which made valuable mechanical achievements for studying war trauma, impact injury and spinal stability. He led an excellent technical team to build the internationally renowned exhibition hall of human specimens in the research on the casting method and design of human bodies.

In the field of applied anatomy of microsurgery, there are a series of research results, which provide a basic theoretical basis for China's microsurgery to rank among the international advanced academic ranks for a long time; His applied anatomical design provides a morphological basis for the innovation of clinical surgery.

◆ The founder of modern clinical anatomy in China.

Zhong Shizhen was engaged in the investigation and study of China people's physique in his early years. He has published 26 papers in acta anatomica sinica and other periodicals, participated in the editorial work of the monograph "Investigation on People's Physical Fitness in China" of the Chinese Anatomy Society, and made certain contributions to the accumulation and collation of data on people's physical fitness in China. Human anatomy is a very old morphological science, which has played an important role in the history of medical development. However, with the development of science and technology, especially in the structure of human body, the most mysterious research field of "brain" has formed a brand-new "neuroscience", and the research content and means still remain in the original scope of human anatomy, which once shrouded the depression of "thin horse in the west wind and faint crow in the old tree" Moreover, during the ten years of the Cultural Revolution, the whole field of anatomy in China was cut off from international academic information, which made "What is the future of human anatomy research?" This became an urgent problem at that time. Zhong Shizhen is keenly aware that the traditional anatomical research model that only describes the morphological structure can no longer meet the needs of the development of clinical medicine, and it is also difficult to meet the teaching requirements of medical students. Therefore, he worked closely with a group of anatomists and clinicians to establish a new system of modern clinical anatomy to meet the needs of the development of clinical medicine. He founded and edited China Journal of Clinical Anatomy, and served as assistant editor and executive editor of two international journals of clinical anatomy in the United States and France. It is suggested that a "Clinical Anatomy Professional Group" should be established in the Human Anatomy Professional Committee of the Chinese Anatomy Society. He has done a lot of pioneering work in establishing academic organizations, cultivating academic teams and establishing academic gardens, and has become the founder of modern clinical anatomy in China. During the period from1988 to1991,he undertook the task of editor-in-chief of Clinical Anatomy Series entrusted by People's Health Publishing House and completed a four-volume masterpiece with more than 3 million words. The publication of this series has set a milestone in the development history of clinical anatomy in China.

◆ To provide anatomical theoretical basis for the development of microsurgery in China.

Microsurgery is a new technology in the field of surgery, which has a strong demand for anatomy. Zhong Shizhen combined with the urgent need of the development of microsurgery, conducted targeted anatomical research, which not only systematized the human body structure related to the operation of microsurgery technology, but also combed the anatomical basis of various clinical surgical innovations, and raised the scattered contents to the theoretical level. For example, there have been nearly 100 innovative operations of skin flap, muscle flap and bone flap in clinic, but there is no strict and systematic theoretical basis, which leads to overlapping naming and different opinions. According to the characteristics of human body structure, Zhong Shizhen's microsurgical anatomy research is generally popularized as a regular blood supply type. These principled theoretical systems are highly generalized, and the naming, operation and application of all new clinical operations are guided by rigorous scientific basis, which unifies the debate.

His research achievements in the field of applied anatomy of microsurgery, such as vascular types of flap, anatomical basis of tissue flap design, and relationship between structural characteristics of nerve trunk and surgical methods, have been widely adopted by microsurgery circles at home and abroad and become the classic guiding principles of microsurgery. He has two English versions of microsurgery published abroad, Microsurgery and Clinical Microsurgery, which is the first monograph published by the same major in the world. As an anatomist, he has been a member of the Standing Committee of Microsurgery Society of Chinese Medical Association for a long time and the deputy editor of Chinese Journal of Microsurgery, and was awarded the "China Lifetime Achievement Award for Microsurgery" by the Chinese Microsurgery Society.

◆ Established an internationally renowned exhibition hall for human specimens.

Zhong Shizhen led his academic team, produced more than 1000 exquisite human specimens, and established the internationally advanced "Southern Medical University Human Body Museum", which can be understood by both experts and laymen, integrating science and artistry.

The museum of human body can reflect the level of morphological science of a country from one side. Professor Moore, Dean of Toronto Medical College in Canada, praised after the visit: "The quantity and quality of this museum 1000 specimens are better than the most prestigious Gernert Museum in the world." Hagens, known as the father of German bioplasticized specimens, also praised this exhibition hall when he came to China to give lectures. It is the best comprehensive pavilion among the more than 100 representative similar pavilions he has visited all over the world. The Human Body Museum of Southern Medical University won the second prize and the third prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

◆ To provide a basis for improving the repair level of peripheral nerve injury.

The repair and treatment of peripheral nerve injury has always been a difficult problem for surgeons. The main problem that bothers people after the repair of peripheral nerve injury is that the functional recovery rate is not high, which leads to different degrees of disability. This is a social problem that can not be ignored. Zhong Shizhen and his graduate students have successively conducted a series of studies. He explored the identification of nerve functional bundle, the qualitative and location of functional bundle in nerve trunk, the anatomical basis of choosing nerve suture method, nerve directional regeneration, microenvironment of nerve regeneration and active substances to promote nerve growth. A number of research results have been able to guide clinical application, help to improve functional recovery rate and reduce disability rate, and won the second prize of military scientific and technological progress for many times. Zhong Shizhen has long served as the vice chairman of the Rehabilitation Society of Neurodisability in China, and has written relevant chapters on applied anatomy of peripheral nerves for monographs such as Modern Microsurgery, Modern Orthopedic Microsurgery, Practical Microsurgery and Progress of Microsurgery.

◆ Carry out clinical anatomical biomechanical research.

Zhong Shizhen has opened up a new field of clinical anatomical biomechanics research, and established the "Key Laboratory of Medical Biomechanics" of the whole army and Guangdong Province, providing a high-level technical platform for departments such as war injury treatment, training injury prevention, clinical orthopedics, aerospace medicine and so on. Using this technical platform, the basic theory and protection methods of trauma treatment were studied, and biomechanical research related to the safety of Shenzhou VI astronauts was carried out, which ensured the safe launch and return of Shenzhou VI. To provide biomechanical scientific basis for the research and development of trauma treatment equipment and curative effect evaluation, and accelerate the independent innovation and research and development of domestic medical equipment; Combining basic theoretical research with clinical practice to carry out innovative research on applied anatomy of surgery; Using this platform, the construction of digital human data set and virtual reality simulation research were carried out, and eight sets of "virtual China people" data sets with independent intellectual property rights were obtained.

200 1, Zhong Shizhen established "Guangdong Trauma Treatment Research Center" and served as its director. At present, the center is committed to expanding the coverage, providing a technical platform and academic guidance for basic research on anatomy and biomechanics for trauma treatment in primary hospitals, thus improving the level of trauma treatment; It will provide biomechanical scientific basis for the renewal of trauma surgery and the development and evaluation of medical equipment, further improve the independent innovation ability of medical equipment development in Guangdong Province, gradually establish mechanical technical standards for trauma treatment equipment suitable for Chinese people, and fundamentally ensure the quality of domestic medical equipment.

In view of the prospect that Guangdong Province will become a major automobile manufacturing province, Zhong Shizhen also led the laboratory to plan to carry out digital human body simulation research on automobile crash safety experiments, so as to enhance China's independent innovation and research and development capabilities. The laboratory participated in the biomechanical fall experiment of "Shenzhou VI" astronauts landing safely. On this basis, they plan to further provide virtual simulation research for the safety of Shenzhou VII astronauts' spacewalk.

◆ China Digital Medicine Advocate

Academician Zhong Shizhen initiated and carried out research on digital people and digital medicine in China. At the 200 1No.174th Xiangshan science conference, he served as the executive chairman and held a seminar on the theme of "scientific problems of digital virtual human body in China", which opened the prelude to the research on digital people and digital medicine in China. With the support of the National Natural Science Foundation and the National "863 Program", China successively established data sets with China characteristics in 2003, making China the third country with digital people in the world after the United States and South Korea. In 2005, he pushed this technology to the peak: he successfully produced "China Digital Man 1", which is the "digital man" with the largest data volume and the highest resolution in the world. In the past, human data sets were all models of white people and western technologies, and now there are also models of China people and yellow people. It is a phased achievement and a milestone contribution to process the samples with vascular perfusion technology to make them' flesh and blood'.

China's research group has built a database, but it faces the same bottleneck as the United States and South Korea: it can produce excellent medical education films, but it is of little clinical significance.

In 2007, Academician Zhong Shizhen presided over the "First China Digital Medicine Seminar". At present, Academician Zhong has turned to the research of digital medicine, collecting patient data with advanced imaging equipment and establishing a three-dimensional model. In the field of clinical surgery, we can use digital simulation technology to simulate the operation on the computer, study the problems encountered in the operation process, and then really perform the operation to improve the accuracy and safety of the operation. Today, students in Zhong Shizhen and other members of the research team are working to promote "digital medicine". At present, many academicians and experts, including him, have jointly applied to the Chinese Medical Association to form a formal academic group, and the inaugural meeting of the Mathematical and Physical Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association will be held on February 20 10.

With the above achievements in surgical anatomy and digital medicine, Zhong Shizhen won the highest award "Guangdong Science and Technology Outstanding Contribution Award" at the 2009 Guangdong Science and Technology Awards Conference, with a prize of 2 million yuan. high level personnel training

Academician Zhong Shizhen teaches and educates people in teaching posts, and serves as a doctoral and postdoctoral tutor. In the aspect of training high-level talents, according to the research direction of this discipline, he gave full play to the advantages of clinical applied anatomy and established a new interdisciplinary training model for human anatomy surgeons, which is worth popularizing. After the implementation of this model, the shortage of doctoral students in human anatomy has been quickly changed. It is a late doctoral degree authorization point, but it has trained more than 100 doctoral students in a short time.

Among his students, a large number of outstanding talents emerged. For example, among the four orthopedic hospitals formally established in military medical colleges, the presidents of three orthopedic hospitals are all graduate students under Academician Zhong (Pei from Xijing Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University, Yin Qingshui from Guangzhou Military Region General Hospital, and Kunming General Hospital of Chengdu Military Region).
