Neurosurgery
About me
, currently pursuing a PhD in Neurosurgery while working. Graduated from Anhui Medical University with a Bachelor's degree in Clinical Medicine in 2001. In 2012, attended the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Learning Class at Shanghai Huashan Hospital. Led the application and completion of a research project funded by the Science and Technology Bureau of Ma'anshan City ("A Study on the Dynamic Changes of Serum CRP in Patients with Severe Craniocerebral Injury", Project Number: 2009Z070304), and actively participated in several municipal research projects and projects related to new technologies. In recent years, published more than ten papers, with five of them as the first author in core journals. Also responsible for teaching theoretical courses in the Department of Neurosurgery at Wan Nan Medical College, and has been repeatedly recognized as an outstanding teaching instructor and advanced medical professional by Ma'anshan City-owned Medical Group and Ma'anshan People's Hospital. Furthermore, gained significant experience in bilingual teaching through clinical teaching practice.
Proficient in diseases
Neurosurgery commonly treats cranial brain injuries, cerebrovascular diseases, and intracranial tumors. It has gained certain clinical experience in the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia, facial spasm, and other functional neurosurgery. It also provides comprehensive treatment for severe neurosurgical emergencies such as severe cranial brain injuries and cerebral hemorrhage.

What is hydrocephalus shunt?
Patients with hydrocephalus usually require shunt surgery, among which the most common is the ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The shunt tube used in this surgery typically features a reservoir, often referred to by patients as a "water basket". Patients are frequently required to press this reservoir to promote the excess cerebral spinal fluid to flow through the shunt tube into the abdominal cavity, where it is absorbed by the omentum. If the reservoir is not pressed, the shunt tube may become blocked, potentially requiring the surgery to be performed again.
How to rehabilitate from a cerebral infarction?
Brain infarction is one of the most common cerebrovascular accidents, accounting for about 65% of all cerebrovascular diseases. The types of brain infarction include lacunar infarction, cerebral thrombosis, and cerebral embolism; sometimes it also includes cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Any type of brain infarction, or cerebral infarction, can cause certain neurological dysfunctions. Therefore, once the patient's condition is stabilized, it is advisable to actively consider rehabilitation treatments. These rehabilitation treatments mainly include hyperbaric oxygen therapy, acupuncture rehabilitation, and physical rehabilitation therapy.
post-stroke sequelae
Brain infarction is a very common type of ischemic cerebrovascular disease, which mainly includes the following types: the most common are lacunar infarction, cerebral thrombosis, and cerebral embolism. The neurological sequelae of lacunar infarction are not particularly typical, and patients may exhibit mild incomplete paralysis of limbs, decreased muscle strength, reduced sensation, or ataxia. Cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism often cause extensive brain infarction, where patients typically experience severe limb paralysis, loss of sensation, increased tendon reflexes, positive pathological reflexes, and an inability to care for themselves.
How is trigeminal neuralgia diagnosed?
Trigeminal neuralgia is divided into primary and secondary types. Primary trigeminal neuralgia refers to cases where no specific cause is apparent. However, with the advancement of modern medicine, doctors have discovered that there is actually a cause for primary trigeminal neuralgia. It is due to the lack of protective myelin sheath over the initial segment of the trigeminal nerve, which gets irritated by the pulsation of nearby small arteries. In such cases, further investigations like brain MRI and cerebral angiography can usually identify the responsible blood vessel. On the other hand, secondary trigeminal neuralgia occurs along with corresponding tumors and inflammation during the progression of the neuralgia, and MRI can assist in diagnosis.
