The old man was completely bewildered at the sight of a 70-year-old academician putting on shoes for him. “How can this be done? How can this be done?” This small moment happened more than a decade ago, but is still heartwarming to this day. Weiliu Qiu (Figure 1) is one of the founders and pioneers of oral and maxillofacial surgery in China, and the first member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in the field of stomatology. He was the former president of Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University and director of the university’s College Figure 1 Academician Weiliu Qiu. of Stomatology. During his 60-year career, he has set a number of records in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, and cured numerous patients. surgery, and oral and maxillofacial repair/reconstruction When reflecting on his life, Prof. Qiu says in an surgery in China. He has won three National Invention emotional tone, “patients are teachers of doctors, and they bring Awards and Science and Technology Progress Awards, and us more than what we have given to them. Therefore, we should ‘be 36 ministerial and municipal science and technology awards bending our bodies as doctors, not holding our heads high’.” (first, second, and third grades). He was also the winner of the Ho Leung Ho Lee Award for Progress in Science Expert’s introduction and Technology. He was the Editor-in-Chief of more than 10 books and has contributed to the publication of over Weiliu Qiu, an expert in oral and maxillofacial surgery, 20 books and monographs. He has published over 400 an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, scientific articles in top-rated journals. His honorary and a professor and doctoral tutor at Shanghai Jiao Tong titles include the National Outstanding Teacher, National University. His former positions include the director of Advanced Health Care Worker, Shanghai Labor Model, the Department of Stomatology, the dean of the School of Shanghai Science and Education System Bole Award, and Stomatology, and the director of the Ninth People’s Hospital Shanghai Education Hero. In 2009, he won the China of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Huatuo Award and the (formerly the Second Medical University). He is currently an Distinguished Fellow Award of the International Association Honorary Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and a of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (IAOMS).

Up until the 1970s, the surgery for congenital craniofacial anomalies, developed by Prof. Tessier, had become quite mature. This surgery was jointly performed by plastic surgeons and neurosurgeons. It inspired Prof. Qiu to explore the potential collaboration between oral and maxillofacial specialists and neurosurgeons to open the “floor” and remove the tumoren bloc. He discussed this idea with Prof. Hanzuo Shang, a neurosurgeon. They performed simulated surgeries and Figure 2 The first combined cranio-maxillofacial resection searched relevant literature to explore the best procedures. performed by Weiliu Qiu (first on the right) and Hanzuo Shang “The surgery involves two sticking points. The first is to avoid (second from the right). massive bleeding and any injury to major tissues, and the second is to ensure smooth cooperation from the anesthetist. The respiratory rate per minute will be decreased more than ten times when the skull base is exposed. Measures should also be taken to prevent intracranial infection and promote postoperative rehabilitation.” Thinking that every minute and second the young man was suffering from cancer, Prof. Qiu was aware that he had no time to relax. In the race against time, he often bought a bag of steamed bread and ate it when he was hungry. He read literature and performed autopsies, working more than 10 hours every day. After a full day of busy work, he felt like falling apart. Once he took a piece of bread and fell asleep. After six months of exploration, he finally worked out Figure 3 Weiliu Qiu (right) meets Hanzuo Shang (left) again in a protocol to perform the surgery: in order to prevent 2019. infection, the surgery should be carried out first inside the skull and then outside the skull; after the skull is opened, the skull base can be separated to expose its upper side; after the are among the most damaging illnesses threatening people’s tissues requiring protection are identified, the osteotomy health, and the skull base affected by advanced malignant line can be designed. maxillofacial tumors had been considered the “forbidden th On June 28 , 1978, Weiliu Qiu and Hanzuo Shang zone”. began exploring the forbidden zone (Figures 2,3). After “Skull base is somehow like a floor of the brain; above the seven hours of surgery, the tumor was completely removed. floor involves neurosurgery, below the floor involves oral and The combined maxillofacial resection offered a new maxillofacial surgery, but the floor itself has remained unattended path to survival for patients with advanced, malignant for a long time. Neurosurgeons say the floor is beyond their maxillofacial tumors, and also opened up a new world for expertise, while oral and maxillofacial specialists believe that oral and maxillofacial surgery. This innovative approach opening the skull base may injure brain tissues and is therefore earned Prof. Qiu with the Ministry of Health Medical highly dangerous,” explains Prof. Qiu. Science and Technology Progress Award (second grade) Forty years ago, a patient with a sarcoma of the in 1980. infratemporal fossa sought help from Prof. Qiu. The tumor An analysis of 113 surgical patients in 2013 showed had invaded the skull base, and because of neuropathic pains the 5-year overall survival rate reached 72.9% after the and the inability to open the mouth, the 30-year-old patient combined maxillofacial resection, and the survival rate of had almost lost the courage to live. “Medical science cannot patients with malignant tumors reached 59.0%. solve everything.

But actually, whether a disease is cured should be defined by “With the bones gone, to what can the teeth attach themselves? patients, not by doctors.” In his opinion, only survival with a With the muscles gone, how can we make emotional expressions? high quality of life can be regarded as “cured”. Doctors have Without emotional expressions, how can we become happy, angry, to resolve a lot of problems to achieve this target, which is or sad?” In Prof. Qiu’s opinion, in addition to saving the also a driving force for the development of medicine. patients’ life, oral and maxillofacial surgeons have another “Patients are teachers of doctors, and they bring us more than important task: return a healthy smile to the patients.

  • 2018 Fudan MBBS Program
    2018 Fudan MBBS Program (An English-Taught Undergraduate Medical Program) Program Overview According to the “Provisional Regulations on Quality Control Standards of English-Taught Medical Undergraduate Education for International Students in China”, the Ministry of Education of China has approved Fudan University as one of thirty universities in China permitted to enroll international students in English-taught undergraduate programs in medicine. To promote international education, Fudan University began enrolling international students in the English-taught undergraduate medical program in fall 2008. The program aims to produce high-caliber medical graduates with solid medical knowledge, competent clinical skills, and professionalism, while giving due consideration to the possible needs for them to serve in countries outside of China. Graduates of the program will have the ability to work in medical and health institutions, making meaningful contributions to the areas of patient care, education, and research. The program is taught completely in English and follows the principles of consolidating academic knowledge, with emphasis on technical skills, interdisciplinary studies, and clinical practice. Offered by the Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, this program is open to international students intending to pursue the science and practice of medicine. Students who excel will have the opportunity to participate in overseas clinical internship programs. After completing the required number of credits, students will be conferred a diploma from Fudan University, and qualified students will receive a degree of Bachelor of Medicine and the Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS). Graduates will have the opportunity to register for medical licensing exams in accordance with the requirements of the relevant regulatory bodies of the countries in which they choose to practice.
