title: [Fascinated by pulmonary function].
abstract: I would like to tell you about my 35 years of research, starting when I became a medical doctor, titled "Fascinated by Pulmonary Function". For the first 10 years, I studied the automation of pulmonary function tests and developed some automatic pulmonary function test apparatuses such as the spiro-computer, panspiro-computer, automatic respiratory resistant test apparatus and automatic respiratory central function test apparatus. For the next 15 years, I studied the relationships between some important pulmonary diseases and respiratory pulmonary functions. In particular, I studied respiratory efficiency and respiratory center functions. For the most recent 10 years, I have been studying the relationships between non-respiratory pulmonary functions and chronic respiratory diseases. I am studying the relationships between ATP(Adenosine Tri Phosphate) in the blood for the parameters of mitochondria function and pneumoconiosis and other chronic pulmonary diseases. I had very interesting results regarding DNA types of arteriosclerosis in chronic pulmonary emphysema. I thank all my research fellows during these 35 years from the bottom of my heart.
