He presided over the formulation of multiple diagnosis and treatment guidelines and specifications such as the "Diagnosis and Treatment Specifications for Brain Glioma" and "Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for Brain Glioma" of the National Health Commission, and edited a unified textbook. He has obtained 1 Class III medical device registration certificate and 25 domestic and foreign patents. As the first finisher, he won 1 second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, 3 first prizes at the provincial and ministerial levels, and the 14th Guanghua Engineering Science and Technology Award. He was awarded the title of Outstanding Communist Party Member of the Beijing Health System and Advanced Worker of Beijing, and was selected as a Beijing Scholar in 2019 and a member of the Academic Advisory Committee of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

Michael Brainin is an Austrian neurologist and emeritus professor at the Danube University Krems. He is widely known as a pioneer in stroke research and prevention as well as a leading figure in the development of stroke units. Brainin was president of the Austrian Stroke Society, the European Stroke Organisation and the World Stroke Organization.
In 1998, Brainin co-founded the Austrian Stroke Society (ÖGSF) and was elected as its first president, where he pioneered the planning and establishment of acute stroke units. He also established the first stroke database in Austria, from which the Austrian Stroke Unit Register emerged.
From 2012 to 2014, Brainin was President of the European Stroke Organization (ESO)and from 2018 to 2020, he was President of the World Stroke Organization (WSO). In this global position he propagated the similarities of prevention strategies for stroke as well as dementia and published the "Declaration on the Prevention of Stroke and Dementia" while also developing the project 'Cut Stroke in Half'. From 2008 to 2017, Brainin was also head of the Education Committee of the WSO. In this function, he supported the development of a global network of stroke researchers as well as the educational programs for stroke physicians in numerous countries. Brainin also co-founded the World Stroke Academy, a web-based learning platform. Together with Wolf-Dieter Heiss, he developed the European Stroke Master Program[6] at the Danube University Krems in 2007, an international program for the training of stroke specialists.
Brainin is active in numerous of the WSO's activities. Together with Valery Feigin, he chairs the WSO's Global Policy Committee. He organized and co-chaired numerous international congresses, including the World Stroke Congress in 2020. Throughout his career, he represented the stroke agenda in meetings with the UN and the WHO, often jointly with the World Federation of Neurology, World Heart Federation and World Hypertension League. He is the initiator and supporter of global stroke prevention programs (such as the "Cut Stroke in Half" program). Brainin furthermore advised many countries on the creation and implementation of strategies for stroke treatment, stroke prevention and specialist training (including a training program of 9,000 doctors which he led in Vietnam, as well as other programs in Myanmar, China, Russia and the Philippines). He also supported the founding of the African Stroke Organisation.
His scientific achievements include the development of dysphagia screening, the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS). To harmonize post-stroke care Brainin initiated the development of the Post Stroke Checklist (PSC). A focus of his research was Post-Stroke Cognitive Decline: He initiated and carried out with his team the first randomized polyintervention trial (ASPIS) for the prevention of post-stroke cognitive decline.
