Wu Mengchao(August 31, 1922 to May 22, 2021), Fujian Minqing people, famousHepatobiliary surgeryExperts,Academician of CAS, the pioneer and one of the main founders of Chinese liver surgery, and the lifelong honorary president of Lizhuang Tongji Hospital, known as the "father of Chinese hepatobiliary surgery" and one of the mainland Chinese scholars who may win the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine.[1-3]
Wu Mengchao was the first to put forward the new idea of "five lobes and four segments" of Chinese liver anatomy. He pioneered the method of intermittent hepatectomy under normal temperature in China, broke through the forbidden area of human middle lobe surgery, and established a completeCavernous hemangioma of liverAnd early diagnosis and treatment system of small liver cancer.He presided over the establishment of a special center for the treatment and research of diseases in hepatobiliary surgery, which has won 24 national, military and Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Awards, published 19 medical monographs such as Atlas of Abdominal Surgery and Liver Surgery, and published more than 220 papers.[8-9]On October 18, 2020, Academician Wu Mengchao's Hall was opened in Minqing County, Fuzhou.[10]
At 13:02 on May 22, 2021, Wu Mengchao died of invalid medical treatment in Shanghai at the age of 99[32]。
Wu Mengchao was born in Fujian Province on August 31, 1922Minqing County, returned from Malaysia. At the age of 5, he followed his mother to Malaysia to join his father.In Malaysia, when he was young, Wu Mengchao helped his father cut rubber while reading.[2]
Academician Wu Mengchao
In 1940, he returned to China to participate in the anti Japanese activities. Because he could not go to Yan'an, he had to stay in Kunming to study, determined to "save the country by studying".In the same year, he entered the middle school attached to Tongji University in the suburb of Kunming.[2]
At the end of 1941, shortly after the Pacific War broke out, the Japanese army captured Hong Kong. Many famous people who stayed in Hong Kong at that time, such as How Xiangning, Liu Yazi, Zou TaofenMao DunAnd professors of the United Nations Universityinternationally known sinologistThey were unable to evacuate in time becauseKong XiangxiWhen dignitaries monopolized the aircraft of AVIC to transport their personal belongings and furniture, the Kongs even transported foreign dogs to Chongqing by plane.The disclosure of this matter by Chongqing's Ta Kung Pao aroused great indignation among the teachers and students of Southwest Associated University.
On January 7, 1942, the students of Southwest Associated University launched a parade to beg for Confucius. The Southwest Associated University connected to Tongji High School. As the monitor, Wu Mengchao immediately led the students to the street.
In 1943, he and his wife Wu Peiyu were bothNational Tongji UniversityMedical school admission[2][11]And become a pre medical student (at that time, Tongji University's medicine was divided into pre medical and post medical. The pre medical study was mainly to lay the foundation, and only after passing the exam can you enter the post clinical study and various specific medical skills).
At the beginning of 1946, he passed the pre medical examination and went to Yibin (where the Medical College was located at that time) to study in the post medical period.
In 1949, he graduated from Tongji University School of Medicine (nowTongji Medical College ）[5], received a bachelor's degree.In the same year, he entered the First Affiliated Hospital of the People's Medical College of East China Military Region (laterThe First Affiliated Hospital of the Second Military Medical University）, became a military surgeon.I was destined to learn from Professor Qiu Fazu again, and learn his medical skills and ethics.[2]
In 1958, he translated and published China's first monograph on liver surgery - Introduction to Liver Surgery. In the same year, he formed a "three person research group" headed by Wu Mengchao, aiming at conquering liver surgery.[2]
In February 1959, Wu Mengchao bought a table tennis ball, cut it into pieces and put it in acetone, waiting for its dissolution.The next day, the ping-pong ball in the bottle really dissolved into liquid.They bought celluloid from the table tennis factory, and added red, blue, white and yellow colors into it, which were injected respectively from the hepatic artery, hepatic vein, portal vein and bile duct, so that the crisscross thick and thin blood vessels inside the liver were all filled.After waiting for coagulation, use hydrochloric acid to corrode the surface tissue of the liver, and finally use a carving knife to hollow it out a little bit and remove it completely.The structure of liver blood vessels is clearly shown, from thick to thin, extending outward like branches, because each "branch" has different colors, like coral. After more than four months of hard work, China's first fully structured human liver blood vessel model was finally poured out.
At the end of 1959, 108 liver specimens and 60 fixed liver specimens were made.By making specimens, Wu Mengchao knew the internal structure of the liver and the direction of blood vessels like the palm of his hand, which laid a solid foundation for his future liver surgery.
In June 1960, Wu Mengchao formally proposed at the 7th National Surgical Academic Conference: "Based on the data of Chinese liver size and its rules, the liver anatomy of normal people can be divided into five lobes and six segments according to the internal vascular trend, and it is most practical to divide the liver into five lobes and four segments in surgical clinic.
In 1960, a middle-aged female patient was successfully resected for liver cancer, becoming the first successful liver operation in the First Affiliated Hospital of the Second Military Medical University.In the same year, he invented the "intermittent portal occlusion and liver resection method under normal temperature".[2]
In 1961, we discovered the "biochemical metabolic rule after liver surgery for normal and cirrhotic liver", and proposed new ideas and strategies to correct the common fatal biochemical metabolic disorder after liver cancer surgery.[2]
In 1963, it broke through the forbidden area of "middle lobe" surgery, which shocked the world.[2]
In 1964, in view of Wu Mengchao's innovation and achievements in a series of basic theories and clinical practice, Shanghai Science and Education Film Studio shot a color documentary "March to Liver Surgery".[2]
In 1966“the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution”It made Wu Mengchao wear the hat of "reactionary academic authority". As he was a returned overseas Chinese, he was also suspected of "connecting from inside to outside".[2]
In 1969, he moved from Shanghai to Xi'an with the Second Military Medical University, taught himself Chinese medicine, and became a barefoot doctor of "a silver needle and a handful of grass".[2]
In 1974, taking advantage of the good opportunity of the rectification of the Military Medical College, he applied to the hospital party committee for the establishment of an independent hepatobiliary surgery, which was approved, realizing his first leap in hepatobiliary career.[2]
In 1975, the largest resected cavernous hemangioma of the liver at home and abroad, weighing 18 kg, was miraculously removed with one knife.In July of the same year, the Second Military Medical University was ordered to move back to Shanghai. The next year, Wu Mengchao took the lead in conducting a liver cancer survey of 180000 people in Shanghai to carry out research on early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer.[2]
In 1978,National Science ConferenceHeld in Beijing.At the meeting, Wu Mengchao's "New Achievements in Liver Surgery - Research on Normal Liver Anatomy" won the National Science Conference Award.
Since 1978, Wu Mengchao has taken the lead in recruiting graduate students, and has cultivated many high-end talents with expertise for decades.During this period, he also successively proposed a series of strategies for surgical treatment of liver cancer: "two-stage resection" of huge liver cancer;Local radical resection of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma;Re operation for recurrent liver cancer[2]
In September 1979, at the 28th International Surgical Academic Conference held in San Francisco, the United States, Wu Mengchao, as a member of the Chinese delegation, shocked the international medical community with his experience of resection and treatment of 181 cases of primary liver cancer from January 1960 to December 1977, with a total success rate of 91.2%.At the meeting, Wu Mengchao was elected as a member of the International Society of Surgery, as an affirmation of Chinese liver surgery by the international medical community.
In 1983, for a four month old baby girl, she successfully removed a hepatoblastoma weighing 600 grams. The tumor was even larger than the baby's head!The following series of pediatric liver surgery research and clinical practice has made the reputation of Chinese hepatobiliary surgery more impressive.[2]
Wu Mengchao once relieved more than 13600 patients with liver disease with both hands.By the end of 1986, 1019 patients had undergone hepatectomy, with a success rate of 97%. Both the total number of hepatectomy and the success rate were in the leading position in the world.[12]
In 1993, the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery was approved to develop the "hospital in hospital" of Changhai Hospital, with a total of 200 beds, realizing his second leap in life and career.
In 1996, Wu Mengchao set up the "Wu Mengchao Hepatobiliary Surgery Medical Fund" with generous donations, based on hundreds of thousands of yuan saved by individuals over the years and more than 4 million yuan awarded by all sectors of society.[2]
On July 26, 2010, the International Asteroid Center issued a bulletin informing the international community that the No. 17606 asteroid was permanently named "Wu Meng Superstar".The 17606 asteroid, permanently named "Wu Meng Superstar", was discovered by the Schmidt CCD Asteroid Project Team of the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the Xinglong Observation Base of the National Astronomical Observatory in Xinglong County, Hebei Province on September 28, 1995.
On May 3, 2011, the Ministry of Science and Technology held an asteroid naming ceremony,Second Military Medical UniversityAcademician Wu Mengchao, the president of the Oriental Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital, received the asteroid naming certificate and the bronze medal of the asteroid's orbit, named the 17606 asteroid "Wu Meng Superstar", and officially obtained the permanent asteroid naming.[2]

Wu Mengchao has a set of hand exercises, which he does whenever he has time to keep his hands flexible.When talking, his hands often hold the teacup and keep turning.The large teacup sets off a vivid finger. At the same time, the author finds a strange detail: Wu Mengchao's upper knuckle of his index finger bends outward, like a hook.Is this innate?Wu Mengchao smiled and said it was the result of a lifetime of hard work with the scalpel.With that, I put my index finger and middle finger together, and the fingertip has never been on.[22]

Overview of scientific research
One of the main founders of hepatobiliary surgery in China.In the 1950s, the Chinese first put forward the new idea of five lobes and four segments of liver anatomy. In the 1960s, the Chinese first created the intermittent portal occlusion and liver resection method under normal temperature, and took the lead in breaking through the forbidden area of human middle liver lobe surgery. In the 1970s, a complete early diagnosis and treatment system for hepatic cavernous hemangioma and small liver cancer was established. In the 1980s, the ligation of hepatic artery and embolization of hepatic artery were used earlier to treat middle and advanced liver cancer,The technology of normothermic bloodless hepatectomy, resection of recurrent liver cancer and two-stage hepatectomy for liver cancer was established in the 1990s. Significant progress was made in gene immunotherapy, liver cancer vaccine, liver transplantation and other aspects of advanced liver cancer, and laparoscopic hepatectomy and hepatic artery ligation were first carried out.Over the past 40 years, more than 8000 liver cancer operations have been carried out. The 5-year survival rate of small liver cancer (less than 5 cm) after surgery reached 38.1%. More than 1000 cases of small liver cancer (less than 5 cm) were operated. The 5-year survival rate of surgery reached 79.8% (85.3% of small liver cancer less than 3 cm), with the longest survival of 36 years.[17]
He established the key theory and technical system of liver surgery.
In order to lay the foundation of liver surgery, Wu Mengchao has conducted a study of liver anatomy since 1958.Based on the establishment of human liver perfusion corrosion model and detailed observation and surgical practice, the author creatively proposed the anatomical theory of "five leaves and four segments";In order to solve the important problem of bleeding in liver surgery, on the basis of animal experiments and clinical exploration, a liver hemostasis technique of "intermittent portal occlusion at normal temperature" was established;In order to master the changes of biochemical metabolism after liver surgery and reduce the mortality rate of surgery, we found the "rule of biochemical metabolism after liver surgery for normal and cirrhotic liver" through clinical and liver biochemical studies, and proposed a new strategy to correct the common fatal biochemical metabolic disorder after liver cancer surgery;In order to further expand the indications of liver surgery and improve the level of liver surgery, he took the lead in successfully implementing a series of landmark operations represented by middle lobe hepatectomy.Based on the above work, we have created unique key theories and technologies of liver surgery, established a disciplinary system of liver surgery in China, and gradually developed and expanded it.[18]
It has opened up a new field of basic and clinical research on liver cancer.He put forward the concept of "secondary surgery" in view of the fact that most of the patients with liver cancer were late, huge and could not be removed when they were found, that is, large liver cancer should be treated comprehensively first, and then resected after the tumor shrinks, which opened up a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of advanced liver cancer;In view of the characteristics of frequent postoperative recurrence of liver cancer but lack of effective treatment, the concept of "reoperation after recurrence of liver cancer" was first proposed, which significantly prolonged the survival time of patients with liver cancer;According to the characteristics of liver cancer with cirrhosis in China, which is easy to lead to liver failure after surgery, a local radical treatment strategy for liver cancer is proposed, so that the efficacy and safety of liver cancer surgery can be organically unified.The above research has increased the 5-year survival rate of liver cancer from 16.0% in the 1960s to 1970s to 30.6% in the 1980s and 48.6% in the 1990s. It has constantly enriched and developed the cause of liver surgery in China.
In order to improve the scientific research level of liver surgery in China and make the cause of liver surgery develop continuously and deeply, Academician Wu Mengchao established the largest specialized institute of liver surgery in the world, led and guided a series of basic research work with international advanced level, and developed two tumor vaccines, cell fusion and double specific monoclonal antibody modification,We invented a proliferative viral vector carrying anti-cancer genes, and the research results were published in Science, NatureMed, Hepatology, Oncogene, Cancer Research and other academic journals.[18]
It has established the world's largest liver disease research and treatment center and trained a large number of high-level professionals.The scale of disciplines led by him has grown from a "three person research group" to the current three-level first-class specialized hospital and institute of hepatobiliary surgery, becoming the largest diagnosis and treatment center and scientific research base for hepatobiliary diseases in the world;Wu Mengchao's Medical Fund for Hepatobiliary Surgery was established to award outstanding talents and innovative research who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of hepatobiliary surgery in China;A large number of high-level professionals have been trained.Through the joint efforts of him and his peers, he has promoted the development of liver surgery at home and abroad. Most of the theories and technologies of surgical treatment of liver cancer were originated in China, making China's research, diagnosis and treatment level in this field leading the world.[18]
After Tu Youyou, a researcher of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, opened the gate of the Nobel Prize with artemisinin therapy for malaria in 2015, Wu Mengchao's new theory and therapy of liver surgery, together with Zhang Tingdong's leukemia arsenic therapy, Wang Xuechang's neck shoulder waist leg pain arc blade acupuncture therapy, and Wang Zhenyi's malignant tumor differentiation induction therapy, are considered to be the successor of Tu Youyou in mainland China,Important scientific and technological achievements in mainland China that are expected to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.[3]
