Qiu Weiliu is lively like an old naughty boy, but Qiu Weiliu is rigorous and meticulous at work. He often said that working in a teaching hospital should achieve four key points: medical treatment is the foundation, teaching is the foundation, scientific research is the soul, and educating people is one's own responsibility. He spent his whole life fulfilling these missions.

In the following excerpts, although Mr. Wang has passed through the ages, his spirit of medicine and scholarship will last forever in the hearts of future generations.

The famous oral and maxillofacial surgery experts Zhang Xize and Professor Qiu Weiliu of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Second Medical University are dedicated to cultivating a new generation of dental doctors, making a group of young attending physicians in their thirties stand out. He is unique in developing various methods to treat oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors. The picture shows Professor Qiu Weiliu leading young attending physicians in ward rounds.

Two and a half kilograms of neurofibroma were successfully removed from the patient's face: City No. 9 Hospital writes a new chapter in the history of international medicine

The Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Second Medical University successfully removed a 19-year-old young farmer from a very large facial neurofibroma that is rare in international medical history, writing a new chapter in the history of human medicine.

This young farmer from Liuhe County, Jiangsu Province, had a very large neurofibroma weighing 2.5 kilograms and as big as his head hanging on the left side of his face. This large neurofibroma, full of blood vessels, not only distorted his It covered his left eye, and once the tumor ruptured and bled, it would be life-threatening.

Last December, Qiu Weiliu, Wang Wei, Feng Shengzhi and other well-known domestic and foreign experts in oral and maxillofacial surgery and plastic surgery from the No. 9 Hospital stepped onto the operating table. Professor Zhang Disheng, an older generation plastic surgery expert, also visited the front line. Professor Yang Zhenqun of Changhai Hospital and others also came to the Ninth Hospital to provide full assistance. The operation lasted nearly fourteen hours.

Currently, the young farmer is recovering.

Yesterday, the country's first health TV program, "Healthline" of Shanghai Educational Television, celebrated its tenth birthday.

Over the past ten years, it has adhered to the positioning of "expert quality, civilian perspective". It not only built an interactive platform for viewers to seek medical advice on the screen, but also often went out of the studio to deliver doctors to the people's doorsteps. It was affectionately called " "Our TV Doctor".

When "Healthline" was first founded, first-class medical experts were used as the criteria for positioning program guests, and they were invited to the live broadcast room to answer the audience's inquiries. Under this concept, Academicians Wu Mengchao, Academician Chen Haozhu, Academician Tang Zhaoyou, Academician Zhang Disheng, Academician Shen Ziyin, Academician Gu Yudong, Academician Qiu Weiliu, etc. came to the show one after another, causing a sensation among the audience.

Doctors who dare to operate on themselves: Academician Qiu Weiliu of the Ninth People's Hospital of Jiaotong University School of Medicine

Tomorrow, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Stomatology will celebrate its 80th anniversary. For Honorary Dean Qiu Weiliu, October 2012 has another meaning. This month, he also happens to be 80 years old.

Perhaps it is fate that this old doctor who calls himself "post-80s" is almost the same age as the Chinese Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. He is indeed a bit different. He dares to do things that many doctors dare not do, such as operating on his own body and trial and error, in order to know himself and the enemy - to understand the patient's feelings.

Qiu Weiliu is a person who dares to deny himself. He is not proud of the many classic maxillofacial surgeries he has performed. He feels that these surgeries, which were innovative and groundbreaking at the time, may have better solutions now.

He is also a person who dares to take action on himself. Qiu Weiliu has white hair and is tall and strong. Although he was an athlete when he was young, he has been "scarred ten times" in his life. From chronic otitis media surgery to necrotizing pancreatitis surgery, he underwent more than 10 surgeries for various reasons, some of which he regarded himself as an "experiment" and "living teaching material."

Qiu Wei pointed to his left ear with six fingers. The scar from the operation was no longer visible, but it was a testimony of his "testing the needle". In order to verify the analgesic effect of acupuncture anesthesia, Qiu Weiliu persuaded his colleagues to perform acupuncture anesthesia surgery on himself and remove a removable lymph node in front of the ear. Colleagues applied needles to seven or eight acupuncture points on Qiu Weiliu's hands and feet, and started the operation half an hour later. The operation lasted for about ten minutes.

"It hurts a little bit when cutting the skin, but it's acceptable; it doesn't hurt when sewing the skin; when it touches the nerve endings when separating the lymph nodes, it hurts like lightning." Qiu Weiliu endured the pain and summarized the "flying knife method", which is to cut the skin. The skin must be cut quickly, and the knife must be lifted and dropped with one hand. This personal experience gave him an objective evaluation of oral and maxillofacial acupuncture surgery. Finally, he and his colleagues summarized a set of operating procedures for acupuncture anesthesia, which were written into "Acupuncture Anesthesia" and "Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Theory and Practice" which he edited.

He said that many surgeons often ignore the pain of their patients. However, only after you become ill can you understand what it feels like to "grit your teeth" and "endure it." After his abdominal wall incisional hernia surgery, when he woke up from general anesthesia, he couldn't help but feel so painful that he wanted to jump out of bed. After that, General Manager Qiu Weili publicized the necessity of surgery and postoperative analgesia to his colleagues. "Shen Nong tasted all kinds of herbs, which was risking his life. What I performed could only be regarded as a minor operation." In his opinion, it is common for doctors to taste the "suffering of the skin and flesh". As early as when he was a medical student, due to the poor position of his wisdom teeth, he offered a "trial teaching" opportunity and asked other students to extract teeth in two times, and both the upper and lower wisdom teeth were reimbursed.

Qiu Weiliu, the new “Shanghai Education Hero”: He is willing to work for others and make his own mistakes

As an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, an honorary chair professor of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, a tenured professor and chief physician of the Ninth People's Hospital of the Medical College, Qiu Weiliu has been engaged in medicine, teaching, and research for more than 60 years. He is a leader in oral and maxillofacial surgery, head and neck tumor surgery, and One of the founders and pioneers of oral and maxillofacial reconstructive surgery.

Qiu Weiliu said: "The requirements for self-cultivation should be specific to people, including myself; in addition to being a human being, a person must also have three hearts: love, ambition and career." This is the origin of his self-made motto, It is also the best example he has set for his students.

Since the establishment of the degree system after the reform and opening up, in addition to teaching undergraduates, he has trained more than 70 master's students, doctoral students and postdoctoral students. Most of the more than 40 PhDs have become a new generation of doctoral supervisors. To this day, the 86-year-old still leads doctoral students, teaches "Introduction to Stomatology" to undergraduates, and makes academic reports for graduate students and departments; he insists on visiting expert clinics every week to teach graduating interns.

"Life has an end, and career has no end." Only by taking it as a sacred duty to train future generations and support future students, can our career be continued; and we must 'prepare for a rainy day, and never dig a well when thirsty.'" Qiu Weiliu often does this He said that this is what he did; he said that he would learn from his mentor Zhang Xize and be willing to be a paving stone to pave the way to success for young talents. He hoped that the master's and doctoral students he taught would be like Yangtze River. The waves behind pushed the waves ahead, surpassing him and drowning him. Seeing his students' outstanding achievements, Qiu Weiliu burst into tears. He was really happier than himself when he won the prize.

Thanks to Qiu Weiliu's decades of hard work, the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of the Ninth Hospital, which is recognized as one of the centers of oral and maxillofacial surgery at home and abroad, is full of talented people. There is basically no rupture in the academic echelon. Six graduates of the "Cultural Revolution" Young doctors have all been promoted to chief physicians. One of them served as a doctoral supervisor soon after studying for a master's degree and a doctorate, and became a new generation of subject leaders. He also has a high academic status at home and abroad. He was elected in 2015. member of China Engineering Academy. Many of his students are now well-known figures active in the academic arena at home and abroad. There are many current department directors; some have even been rated as "young and middle-aged people with outstanding contributions."
