Abstract
Throughout my life I have been focused my research on three fields:
1. Direct neural regulation of mammalian anterior pituitary. A student of mine accidentally found many nerve fibers in the anterior pituitary of a monkey”. Since beside the gland cells there are abundant blood vessels in the anterior pituitary, therefore, the first thing is to clarified what do the nerve fibers innervate in the gland. It turned to be that the nerve fibers innervate both of them, but mainly the gland cell. A series of studies were then followed. To make the story short, the golden criterion was that our electron microscopic study found typical synapses between the terminals of the nerve fibers and the gland cells. We then put forth a hypothesis: Neuro-humoral dual regulation of mammalian anterior pituitary.
2. Brain control of immunity
3. Early neural surgery of spinal cord contusion, a surgery I myself designed. The operations were followed by rehabilitation of three months. The outcome was beyond imagination. In 30 ASIA grade-A patients, the optimal operation time window was 4-14 days. There were13 cases in the window, 85% were able to walk with a pair of crunchers, or a stick, or without any support.
4. A small but very popular staining technique. The glucose oxidase-DAB-nickel method in peroxidase histochemistriry of the nervous system. 1988. It has been cited more than 1,000 times and is still popular today.
