Hongbin Lu, Chief/Professor of Sports Medicine
Career
- Chief/Professor, Department of Sports Medicine, Research Center of Sports Medicine, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha -- the title and institution come from the ORCID self-record employment entry ("Sports Medicine" department, start 1993, ongoing), which matches the Study 13 affiliation exactly.
- Name spelling: PubMed indexes his career under both "Hongbin Lu" (147 records, 2003-2026, including Study 13) and "Hong-Bin Lu" (17 records), plus the umlaut-spelled "Lu" on the team's 2 earliest LIPUS records -- one person, unified by an identical co-author web (Hu Jian-Zhong, Qu Jin, Zhang Tao, Cao Yong) on the hyphenated block, identical coauthors on the umlaut records, e-mail anchors on 13+ corpus records spanning 2011-2026, and one continuous research program.
Research Work
- A single research program across the whole record class: low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) bone-tendon healing, rotator cuff repair, spinal cord injury, microvascular imaging, and stem-cell scaffolds.
- ORCID 0000-0001-7749-3593 is a substantive self-record created 2014-06: 58 works, all in-domain (LIPUS/tendon-bone/rotator cuff/spinal cord), including the team's classified records; employment and education entries; publisher ORCID deposits under his own author line on 19 corpus records (2019-2026), and the Crossref deposit of DOI 10.1002/jor.25457 (PMID 36205185) carries the same ORCID on his author line. Study 13 itself predates his first ORCID-tagged deposit, but the self-record employment matches the study affiliation exactly.
- Identity basis: "Lu H[Author] AND Xiangya[Affiliation]" returns 477 records with at least 15 distinct Xiangya-affiliated Hong* forenames in the pool; the Hongbin class (147 records) plus the Hong-Bin block (17) plus the 2 umlaut records are unified as one person by the anchors above.
Role in Study 13
Co-author of Study 13, a dose-response study in 120 mature New Zealand rabbits with standard partial patellectomies in which twice-daily low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation produced more new bone formation and mineralization, a better histological interface, and significantly improved biomechanical properties than once-daily treatment or control. See Study 13: Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Stimulation for Tendon-Bone Healing (American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2018; PMID 29016398).
