On the eve of July 1st, a staggering and powerful figure, carrying a pacemaker, walked from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the Great Hall of the People, receiving the highest honor of the "July 1st Medal".
This frail old man is Wu Tianyi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and dean of the Qinghai Academy of Plateau Medicine
Academician Dean In the pastoral area of Qinghai, the herders cordially called him "the good mamba of the herders" ("Mamba" in Tibetan means "doctor"), and he diagnosed and treated tens of thousands of people in Tibetan areas
"As a Communist Party member, the most important is the spirit of dedication, remain in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is best decisions of my life
Communist Party Communist "High altitude pulmonary edema" was first proposed in the world
"High altitude pulmonary edema" was first proposed in the world Wu Tianyi was born in Yili, Xinjiang in the 1930s and participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
Due to the backward medical conditions in Qinghai Province, in the 1960s, many altitude sicknesses were treated as common pneumonia and pulmonary congestion
“The harsh environment of hypoxia and low pressure on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau hinders the pace of human development of the plateau, and also threatens the health and safety of residents here.
Since then, Wu Tianyi started research on altitude sickness and Tibetan groups
In 1963, Wu Tianyi first proposed and demonstrated the "high-altitude pulmonary edema" that occurred in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the world, and many documents before that referred to high-altitude pulmonary edema as alpine pneumonia
In the following 12 years, Wu Tian conducted a survey of altitude sickness in people of different altitudes and different ethnic groups on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
In 2020, the 3.
100,000 data on 14 fractures
100,000 data on 14 fractures Since 1980, in order to obtain physiological and pathological data, Wu Tianyi has spent 10 years walking every inch of land in the pastoral area of Qinghai Plateau
In the 1980s, the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and the Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, which were located in the highest altitude areas in Qinghai Province, were blocked with traffic and had poor natural conditions
In addition to conducting on-site sampling in plateau areas, another key task of Wu Tianyi is to conduct simulation experiments on high and low pressure cabins
After the experiment started, the operators lacked experience and accidentally caused Wu Tianyi's hearing to be severely damaged, but he found out the safety factor of the cabin operation
In 1990, Wu Tianyi organized the International Animaqing Mountain Medical Academic Mountaineering Team for the first time in China.
In order to obtain a large number of people's high altitude alpine physiology data, he faced the snow-capped mountains for two consecutive months, resulting in cataracts in both eyes
.
For more than 50 years, Wu Tian has done systematic research on various types of acute and chronic altitude sickness that occurred in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from the aspects of epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical science
.
The quantified diagnostic criteria for chronic mountain sickness he proposed was adopted by the International Mountain Medicine Association as an international standard and named the "Qinghai Standard", which was uniformly applied internationally in 2005
.
Dragging a "wounded" "part", Wu Tianyi is still optimistic and determined
.
Although he is over eighty years old, his steps are still in a hurry
