BACKGROUND
Expert Surgeon, Thoracic Surgery, Beijing University First Hospital, ChinaFellow, Thoracic Surgery, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, USAResearcher, Fujita Health University School of Medicine, JapanResearcher, EPFL, SwitcherlandResearcher, Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, USAAssistant Professor, Case Western Reserve University, USAChief, Thoracic Surgery, Xuzhou Kuangshan Hospital, ChinaIndependent Research, China
OTHER INTERESTS
1. Pioneering research of the new concept of cardiomyocytes asynchronized contraction/relaxation manner, in which subendocardium/mid-myocardium contract/relax in opposite way to subepicardium. This contract/relax manner constitute the mechanism of blood perfusion into ventricular wall. The interruption of this manner will cause heart ischemia and ventricular arrhythmia.2. Pioneering research of the new concept of perivascular lymphatic remodeling, which constitute the mechanism of protecting lung blood vessels from injury.
