1937 graduated from yenching university, Beiping with a bachelor's degree in science; 1942 graduated from Peking Union Medical College with a doctor's degree in medicine. 1947- 1948 studied at the university of Chicago. 1997 received an honorary doctorate in science from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and an honorary doctorate in science from the University of Hong Kong in 20001.
As one of the pioneers of urology in China, he has made outstanding contributions to urology and male family planning. The study of "contralateral hydronephrosis caused by renal tuberculosis" can make some patients with renal tuberculosis recover, which has been confirmed in medical practice at home and abroad. Adrenal medullary hyperplasia has been established as an independent disease, which is internationally recognized. The study of compensatory growth of kidney after nephrectomy corrected the long-standing incomplete understanding. Cooperate with colleagues to develop vasectomy into vasectomy, which has attracted international attention. Engaged in medical education for 60 years, published medical papers 150, and compiled 2 1 medical books; In which 13 is the chief editor. Won 7 national science and technology awards. He has won the first prize of population science and technology research, the first Bole Award of Beijing Medical University, the ho leung ho lee foundation Science Progress Award, the Paris Ruby Award, the highest Ruby Award in Li Si, and the Japanese Matsushita Urology Award.
Old but full of energy.
Have you seen this contemporary famous doctor? I can't believe he has passed 69 years. Look at those eyes shining with wisdom, scanning everything in front of them, showing jumping vitality and high momentum; Listening to his speech is not only beneficial, but also a pleasure. His speech is sharp, vivid and witty, and you can feel his efficient thinking machine running endlessly. Not long ago, at a meeting between famous scientists, college students and graduate students held by China Association for Science and Technology, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the All-China Federation of Students, Wu Jieping said when talking about his age: "I really appreciate the great painter Liu Haisu saying that he is' 90 years old'. Some old people abroad no longer say' I am 50 years old', but say' I am 70 years younger'. "
Wu Jieping admits that time is limited and the natural laws of metabolism are irresistible. This makes him urge himself to cherish time, forge ahead and be diligent like gold. His childlike heart is full of blood, and his passionate feelings for rejuvenating China have formed a powerful and attractive charm. He confidently handed the burden of the Dean of China Academy of Medical Sciences and the Dean of Peking Union Medical College to the next generation, and he became honorary dean and dean himself. He is a member of the Biology Department of China Academy of Sciences, and holds many important positions, such as President of Chinese Medical Association, Chairman of Urology Society, Director of Urology Research Institute of Beijing Medical University, Chairman of China Drug Inspection Committee, and Vice President of China Family Planning Association. He presided over the meeting, organized activities, and was busy helping him arrange the schedule. He will edit publications, write books and take doctoral students. He still holds many titles in foreign academic circles and goes abroad to participate in various activities almost every year. At the end of April, I just came back from a heart-to-heart meeting with college students and flew to the other side of the ocean to help the Academy of Medical Sciences and Union Medical College.
In recent years, he has given lectures in four places, focusing on helping the younger generation study hard and succeed as soon as possible. He always faces the future and always looks for new goals that can push his career forward. Recently, Clinical Practice and Thinking, which he told medical students and young doctors, is very popular. This is his experience refined and sublimated from years of practical experience, which improves the theoretical level. It is a new topic that has never been discussed at home and abroad. As a result, the enthusiasm of the audience greatly exceeded the original quota, and the tape of the report was transcribed and played many times. At the graduation ceremony of a foreign medical school, he also talked about this content, and foreign friends were amazed.
Today, Wu Jieping, which has made outstanding contributions and won praises at home and abroad, is by no means created overnight. After more than half a century's hard struggle, he encountered difficulties and obstacles all the way. Let's dial the time to 60 years and explore his "secret" of success on the road of success in turn!
Pursuit of individuality
When I was a child, Wu Jieping was lively, naughty and lovable. Professor Wu Ruiping, a famous pediatrician who is ten years older than him, has talked about Wu Jieping many times. He always gushes like a few treasures: "He has been very active since he was a child, he is very concerned about everything, and he is willing to learn and play new tricks." He gave an example to prove that there was an intellectual game of tossing copper coins. Six copper coins were arranged in three heads and three tails, and only two moves were allowed, which would become a cross sequence with one head and one tail. Xiao Wu Jieping frowned and thought carefully. After sitting for a long time, she didn't eat or sleep and vowed endlessly to achieve her goal. Where there is a will, there is a way, and the problem was finally solved by him. Wu Jieping learned to think with his head at an early age, and everything should be made clear, which sowed excellent seeds for exploration and innovation in later decades of study and research.
Their father Wu Jingyi is an honest industrialist. At that time, I worked as a manager in Tianjin China Merchants Bureau and Baocheng Cotton Mill, and my family conditions were good. Wu Jieping often takes his younger brothers to play in the yard. Once he was whimsical and wanted to make a new move by himself-riding a bike and playing with a ball. The younger brothers were attracted and watched the wonderful performance of the second brother with their eyes wide open. Who knows that it only took one step, Wu Jieping was not satisfied for a while, and even the driver fell to the ground and injured his right arm, which led to the eldest brother who was studying in Union Medical College taking him to Beijing for treatment. Up to now, that arm is still uncomfortable, just can't see. Although he suffered a little, he enjoyed the fun of innovation, which did not prevent him from becoming a surgeon in the future.
Wu Jieping came to Beijing for treatment and lived in his brother's dormitory. It is convenient for all the senior students of Concord to live in one room. Sometimes when big brothers and big sisters play bridge after school, there will always be a small audience next to them, and the days are not long, so let a child watch that kind of racking their brains. Professor Wu Ruiping, who is nearly eighty years old, clearly remembers that a few years later, he spent five yuan to buy a bridge book called The Book of Gold, which was shot by Wu Jieping. After entering the university, Wu Jieping mastered this skill and became an expert in playing bridge.
Wu Jieping and his brothers are both famous medical experts, which is related to family education. When the children are enlightened, the father tries his best to create conditions for the elderly to teach ancient books and the engineers in the cotton mill to teach English and arithmetic. As a result, Wu Ruiping did not go to junior high school, but went directly to high school. Wu Jieping also passed primary school and was admitted to Tianjin Huiwen Middle School. The old father's teaching is still ringing in my ears: when you grow up, don't go to officialdom to pursue fame and gain, you don't have that kind of background; Do not do business, or study hard, learn technology, and rely on skills to eat in the future. The old man also wants his son to study medicine and attend the famous Union Medical College. What is commendable is that my parents were so wise and an enlightened family. Wu Jieping lived and grew up there and benefited a lot.
At the beginning of this century, "Yu Wang Fu", a high-walled deep courtyard located in Dongdan Sanjiao, Beijing, was bought and demolished by American oil giant Rockefeller, and it took five years to build a number of palace-style buildings in the original site, namely Union Medical College. The oil magnate built a monument for himself and called it "oil" with the homonym of "Yu". When Wu Jieping was a child, he came to Beijing for treatment and lived there. He felt as if he had entered a dazzling mysterious maze. Without the guidance of his father, he made up his mind to study in Concord, just as he did when he was a child. /kloc-graduated from high school at the age of 0/6 and was successfully admitted to yenching university. Completed three years' study in the preparatory class of Union Medical College, and officially entered "Wang Fu" on 1936. That was very enviable in those days. Concord has an eight-year academic system, registered in the United States, and graduated from new york University with a doctorate. Most professors are Americans, and all teaching is conducted in English. Only twenty or thirty students are selected from many top candidates in the country every year. The study requirements are extremely strict, and 75 points is considered as a pass. By the time of graduation, there are often only 10 people left in a class. Students study very hard, but they are inevitably eliminated.
Wu Jieping gave himself this evaluation: "Very naughty, middle school and university didn't study hard, not a good student. But I left nothing behind. My brain has not stopped, but it is active. " He is naughty enough. When studying anatomy, students are trying to review their lessons, picking up pieces of bones and looking left and right, touching left and right; Also practice putting a piece in your pocket, and you can know what bone it is just by reaching out and touching it. Wu Jieping came over and smiled mysteriously and said, "It's not worth touching. I'll show you a fresh one. " I saw him grab a bone and throw it high. He caught it with a bang. Without looking, he asked everyone, "Do you believe it or not? I can tell you what kind of bone it is right away. " The students stood there like watching magic, and it was really good to check after listening to Wu Jieping's own question and answer. Afterwards, he admitted that he made preparations first and deliberately fooled others. Wu Jieping said, "I hate reading, and I hate reading." He kept playing tricks on people, but his classmates only thought he was clever and full of tricks, so they didn't blame him. While studying parasitology, he was not interested in remembering this mosquito and that fly. The naughty student is going to play tricks again. He caught a fly from the dining room, put a pin in the cork and covered it with a small test tube, just like a teaching specimen. He took it and asked, "What do you think this is?" I don't know him in the whole school. Wu Jieping couldn't help laughing internally and pulled up a long voice and said, "This is called housefly, the most common one!"
In Concord, people competed fiercely to climb the top of the ivory tower. You usually lose a few pounds during the exam, and some will put away the bed and urge them to study hard all night. Wu Jieping is different. He is relaxed and warm in class, but he still plays, eats and sleeps on time, eats well and sleeps steadily. Professor Cai Rusheng, consultant and chest specialist of Fuwai Hospital, is in the same class as Wu Jieping. He said: "Wu Jieping never dies in learning, and learning can grasp the main points, which is flexible and effective. It seems that he doesn't study hard, but his exam results have been good. " To this end, he won a scholarship. At the graduation ceremony, according to the regulations, the students with the best grades in the class should hold signs and lead the whole class to file in. Wu Jieping won this honor.
Nature is not always sunny and warm as spring, how can a person always be smooth sailing! 1939, in the sixth grade in Wu Jieping, the disease suddenly struck. He suffered from renal tuberculosis, his right kidney was removed and he had to drop out of school for a year. He didn't bow to difficulties. During his recovery, he continued to learn and master new knowledge in his flexible and effective way.
Graduation was one year late, and Wu Jieping had a solid foundation in Concord for eight years.
Directional takeoff
"Think more, explore and innovate" —— the basic feature of Wu Jieping's ideological character, which took shape at an early age and further developed in eight years. He graduated from school and has the ability. The profession of doctor is an "iron rice bowl", what's more, he graduated from Concord University and is called a "gold medal", so he holds a "golden rice bowl". He has overfulfilled his father's goal of "studying hard and eating by skill in the future".
However, can Wu Can be satisfied with earning money to eat? Think about it. His eight years in Concord were precisely "the most dangerous time for the Chinese nation", and then Japanese fascists invaded and a large area of land was lost. Because of the subtle special relationship between the conquered people and the United States at that time, the American-run Union Medical College also had a "quiet desk", which became Japanese students in ambivalence. They turned a deaf ear to things outside the window and read only medical books. Wu Jieping, who is good at thinking, pondered repeatedly: Why did Japanese imperialism dare to bully us? Not that we are weak! He once envied that Japan had a Meiji Restoration and published Ito's blog post, which turned Japan into a powerful country. When will China become strong? He has a new pursuit and yearning.
Wu Jieping just graduated from the Pacific War. When Concorde closed, people went their separate ways and found their own way out. Professor Yuanfu Xie, the earliest urologist in China, liked Wu Jieping best when he was teaching in Union Medical College Hospital. Under his influence and guidance, Wu Jieping chose urology as his major. Yuanfu Xie left Union Medical College Hospital and took Wu Jieping to Zhonghe Hospital (predecessor of Beijing Medical People's Hospital). Wu Jieping has done a good job as a resident and chief resident.
Wu Jieping first came into contact with our underground party during the fall of 1943. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression won, and he was very happy and soon disillusioned. At this time, he contacted several underground members of the Chinese Communist Party to treat them. At the same time, he accepted some revolutionary truths from them and began to know * * *. He felt his eyes lit up.
At that time, Guan Songtao, an outstanding surgeon and brain surgeon in China, went to Peking University Medical College to conduct surgery. He asked Wu Jieping to help him establish surgery, on the one hand, as a surgical lecturer, on the other hand, as the chief resident of Zhonghe Hospital. Wu Jieping readily accepted.
Professor Yuanfu Xie likes talents very much. 1947, he managed to send Wu Jieping to the University of Chicago for further study. Professor Huggins, the tutor of Wu Jieping, is the founder of modern tumor endocrine therapy and a Nobel Prize winner. He admired the young China man very much and tried his best to keep Wu Jieping in the United States. At that time, the University of Chicago was building a research building for Huggins. Huggins put a blueprint in front of Wu Jieping and sincerely pointed out, "This is your laboratory ..." Huggins also promised attractive and generous treatment, and mobilized Wu Jieping to bring his family. However, Wu Jieping was unmoved. He wants who can save the devastated motherland under the weight of the three mountains, which he already knows. Wu Jieping gave a firm answer with a clear attitude. He didn't even bring his luggage, and hurried back to the motherland on the eve of the birth of New China. Less than a month later, the ancient city of Beijing ushered in the mighty People's Liberation Army. Wu Jieping was deeply gratified by the news of the country and began to write a new historical chapter of his great achievements.
Wu Jieping returned to Beijing Medical College to treat, teach and research in the First Affiliated Hospital. He became an associate professor in his thirties and a professor a few years later. He believes that * * * respects knowledge and cherishes talents. He is completely trusted and feels useful. He used to be the director and vice president of surgery. 195 1 year, led the Beijing Volunteer Surgery Team to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea to rescue the critically wounded in the fierce battle, and made outstanding achievements. He works hard and has many original ideas. Before he was puzzled, he had become a first-class surgical expert in China, made indelible contributions to the construction and development of urology in China, and was recognized as a discipline leader.
In the intense and busy work, Wu Jieping also made some philosophical reflections on the values, ideals and beliefs of life. In the early days of liberation, there were many things to do. How does * * * play a leading and core role, and what brilliant achievements have been made in just a few years? Wu Jieping see in the eye, know fairly well. He also absorbed positive nutrition in the knowledge transformation movement. He confided his long-standing true feelings to the party. Unforgettable 1956! He remembered that on October 27th, 65438, he raised his clenched fist and took the oath under party flag.
"Struggle for the cause of communism for life". This is a serious choice made by a scientist after years of careful observation and thinking; For a senior intellectual, it is a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change. Wu Jieping, like many scientists, is cool-headed, diligent in thinking and unsmiling. At first glance, he looks almost cold. At this point, I can't see much change from his face, but his heart is warming up and his passion is turning into infinite power. He feels that starting from the specific business of serving the people, all work is extending to the distance, and every step forward is a step closer to that big goal. Politics is not an empty concept. The task of revolution is not only to know the world, but also to transform it. Isn't this the bounden duty of a scientist?
Students in Wu Jieping say that he is a typical "expert first, then famous". They not only learned medical knowledge from him, but also learned his scientific thinking method of thinking, analyzing and discriminating things. The relationship between "red" and "expert" should be clear, but some intellectuals are still hesitating and talking about it. This is naturally a normal phenomenon, so let it continue to be a topic for people! Wu Jieping has a plan in mind. He analyzed and compared the old and new societies and distinguished the motherland from foreign countries. His experience is profound. Fact education also prompted him to set up lofty ideals and find a satisfactory and reliable home.
Wu Jieping, who came back, tied his personal ideal, pursuit, success or failure fate with the highest interests of the motherland, and dissolved everything in the cause of the party and the people. He felt far away and broad-minded, and soared in Ren Woxing. He entered a higher ideological realm, showed his intelligence and skills, and his infinite potential broke out.
Wu Jieping has always opposed studying hard. How does he live? He was not very clear at first; When I became a doctor, I began to get in touch with reality and slowly summed up some experiences. He feels that knowledge does not give people the ability to solve practical problems. Only by using it in practice and thinking constantly can we improve our ability. Therefore, he thinks that we should first solve the problem of combining practice, knowledge and thinking. A famous saying by Pasteur, the founder of modern microbiology and a famous French microbiologist, he kept in mind: "Opportunity favors a prepared mind". He consciously exercises himself to have a prepared mind, asks himself questions at any time, urges himself to think, forms the habit of thinking, does not make the mistake of "knocking at the door and ignoring", and never misses any opportunity to improve himself. This has become his inexhaustible "magic weapon".
Being a doctor is not easy. Using various special functions to "repair" the bodies of advanced animals, unlike repairing machines, can be disassembled at will and carried out intuitively. Whether a doctor is skilled or innovative often depends on whether he is good at thinking and diligent in exploration. Acute appendicitis is a common disease, which is not difficult to diagnose and easy to operate. However, Wu Jieping did not simply do so. After careful analysis, he found that the site of appendicitis was on the left, right, up and down of the intestine. Although the appendix is not broken, what effect may it have on the peritoneum? Are there fecal stones in the appendix? ..... try to ask yourself to think carefully and make a diagnosis. This kind of operation is generally successful, but Wu Jieping's operation is more "beautiful", the patient's pain is less, and other problems caused by poor consideration in advance are avoided. He feels that every time he has an operation, he has a different new harvest. He treats any patient like this and can't allow himself to just do it the old way for many years. This requires not only serious thinking, but also repeated deliberation. Experienced doctors are well aware of the complexity of the disease and have many shortcomings, so they are "walking on thin ice" in diagnosis and treatment. As a doctor, the responsibility is great, which is related to a person's life and human health.
Wu Jieping's originality and achievements of "five years and ten years" have benefited from this charming "prepared mind".
Great contribution
In the Institute of Urology of Beijing Medical University, Professor Gu, who was in his early fifties, talked about Wu Jieping's academic achievements and outstanding contributions, and his reverence was beyond words. He is the first graduate student brought out by Professor Wu Jieping in the early 1950s, and has been studying, researching and producing results with his teachers. Professor Gu first mentioned the new concept of contralateral hydronephrosis caused by renal tuberculosis put forward by Professor Wu Jieping in 1953, saying that this innovation has enabled many patients who were considered incurable in the past to be correctly treated and reborn. This is a breakthrough in urology, which immediately attracted great attention at home and abroad and was widely used.
"As early as 1959, Wu Jieping also designed the ileocecal part for bladder enlargement, which was successfully applied to patients with bladder contracture in clinic. This operation was introduced to readers as the latest operation method in the 1970s and 1980s in European and American books and magazines.
"In the 1950s, under the leadership of Professor Wu Jieping, Beijing Medical University took the lead in widely using percutaneous nephrography for diagnosis, and there were cases treated by percutaneous nephrostomy, which was earlier than the internationally popular percutaneous nephrostomy. At that time, adrenal surgery had not been popularized in the world, and Wu Jieping took the lead in carrying out research in this field in China, which caused great shock in Japanese medical circles. 196 1 At the International Society of Surgery in September 19, Wu Jieping clearly pointed out that the symptoms of Cushing's syndrome are often accompanied by alopecia, which caused concern. His report added new contents to the diagnosis of cortisol.
His outstanding contribution to adrenal surgery was that he clearly put forward a new concept of adrenal medullary hyperplasia in the 1960s, and confirmed it as an independent clinical disease. Papers published in English edition of Chinese Journal of Medicine were included in American Urology Yearbook 1979. 1983, Wu Jieping first reported the long-term postoperative follow-up of patients at the 30th International Society of Surgery.
He proposed that "the volume of children with giant hydronephrosis should be based on the average urine volume for more than 24 hours", which was recognized by the urology field.
In the 1970s, he also designed a special catheter to improve the operation of benign prostatic hyperplasia, which greatly reduced the amount of bleeding and shortened the operation time. It is called "Wu's catheter" and has been popularized in China.
As an expert in urology, he attaches great importance to family planning. 1957, he first injected mercuric acetate into the seminal vesicle during vasectomy to kill the remaining sperm, so as to achieve the effect of sterilization immediately after operation (it usually took two or three months after operation in the past). Immediately after the report, it was popularized throughout the country, which effectively promoted the family planning work.
There is such an episode: 1956 One day, Wu Jieping was reading a book in the library. Professor Lin, a famous gynecologist in China, walked over with her unique brisk steps and said in strong Fujian Mandarin, "Wu Jieping, it's time for family planning. The woman is mine and the man is yours! " The mind acts on the mind. Wu Jieping felt duty-bound, took out his "magic weapon" that he was good at thinking, went through all the male methods that could promote family planning, scrutinized them carefully, and soon came up with new measures to improve the efficiency of vasectomy. Speaking of which, Wu Jieping smiled and said, "What's the matter? It's just that Lin knocked on me, and I figured it out with my head. To put it bluntly, it is worthless. " Professor, I am too modest. Why didn't this century-old operation develop in the past? Why did the United States publish it as a new method in 17 and 1974 medical journals after you said it? Isn't this the crystallization of your selfless dedication to exploring and pursuing the scientific progress of the motherland, people and mankind?
Many students in Wu Jieping are professors and associate professors now, but they are still attracted by the situation in the class: Professor Wu, who is not tall, stood behind the lecture desk, first took a look at all the students present, and the audience immediately became quiet. His lectures are efficient, vivid and concrete, with prominent central ideas, strict thinking logic, concise language, rich philosophy and fascinating. All the students like listening and think they are interested, easy to understand and easy to remember.
Clinicians love to make rounds with Wu Jieping and listen to case discussions hosted by Wu Jieping. Like lectures, he inspires and encourages people to think and discuss more. What people are most interested in is that Wu Jieping can often find and ask unusual questions from even a medical record of common diseases and an ordinary X-ray, which gives people new enlightenment. Such activities are often packed and lively, which is good for peers and younger generations. Professor Wu Jieping's charm can't be understood and measured by secular eyes.
The Institute of Urology led by Wu Jieping is famous all over the country. In the past decades, it has trained a large number of doctors and researchers from all over the world, who have come to further their studies. 120 people have become the backbone of their respective units, and many of them have made outstanding contributions, including Professor Meihua from Sun Yat-sen Medical College.
Most grateful to Wu Jieping is the patient he saved.
In September, 1982, 1 1, People's Daily published Lei's article in Wuhan, thanking Professor Wu Jieping for having operated on her twice for more than 20 years, which cured her of congenital bladder and urethra malformation. She said that Professor Wu Jieping is so approachable and cares about ordinary patients. What a serious and responsible attitude this is! He deserves to be a real doctor!
Wu Jieping also had a lesson of failure. At first, he was criticized by the old professor because he neglected to study as a doctor and missed the examination items. But more is the relief and joy after success, which makes me more conscientious and conscientious.
Nothing is more recognizable than a monument in our hearts. Premier Zhou appreciated and trusted Wu Jieping and sent him to preside over major and special medical and health tasks at home and abroad for many times. From 6: 438 to 9: 62, Premier Zhou sent him to Indonesia with the China medical team to treat President Su Jianuo's left kidney, which was blocked by kidney calculi. After four months of hard work, he achieved very satisfactory results. Suharto, the president's personal doctor and Minister of Commerce, specially invited journalists from all over the world to the presidential villa to make a thank-you statement and introduced China medical experts headed by Wu Jieping to meet the reporters (Xinhua News Agency sent a message on May 7, 1962). The statement said that the Vienna medical team who treated the president once thought that if the president's kidney could not function within three months or at the latest six months, then surgery was necessary. Thanks to the treatment of China medical team, President Su Jianuo's health is very good, especially his left kidney has recovered its function. The president can avoid surgery now. President Su Jianuo and his wife gave a banquet to send away experts from China. Wu Jieping was awarded the Indonesian National Second-Class Medal. Since then, Su Jianuo has caught a cold and invited Wu Jieping.
Two years ago, a Yugoslav patient went to see a doctor, and Wu Jieping cured him. He became a household name when he returned to China. Later, Yugoslav friends came to Wu Jieping, and several of them fell ill, no matter what their subjects were.
This versatile doctor has great charm, and his influence far exceeds our 9.6 million square kilometers. For decades, Wu Jieping has been undertaking various special medical and health care tasks at home and abroad. When there are more fascinating stories, it is beyond the scope of this article.
