Career
- Career institution, machine-verified from the PubMed class: Department of Sports Medicine / ICMRS Sports Medicine Research Center, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha (records 2014-2026).
- No degree or title string was machine-verified anywhere in his corpus; the profile stands on the verified career record, the closed co-author web, and the identifiers below.
- Institutional e-mail ztblack@csu.edu.cn under his own author line on 2 records (2025, 2026).
Research Work
- Sports-medicine research class: a 46-record Tao class 2014-2026 inside the 521-record "Zhang T AND Xiangya" pool -- 43 records co-authored with Lu Hongbin, and the 3 non-Lu records all carry team coauthors (Hu Jian-Zhong blocks 2012/2017 and the 2021 ankle paper). Class topics: rotator cuff, tendon-bone healing, LIPUS, scaffolds.
- Two publisher-minted ORCID identifiers appear under his own author lines on team records: 0000-0002-6746-8834 on PMIDs 42710873 (2026) and 37698466 (2023), and 0000-0002-6797-8332 on PMID 36203341 (2023, the "Role of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound in regulating macrophage polarization to accelerate tendon-bone healing" record). Both deposits sit on lines co-authored with Lu Hongbin, whose own line carries his ORCID on the same records. The first record carries 2 works (SIRT3 tendon degeneration 2026; single-cell RNA sequencing enthesis 2023 -- both team-corpus titles); the second carries 0 works. Both are cited as publisher-minted identifiers on his works, never as credential sources.
- 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.
Role in Study 13
Co-author of Study 13. See Study 13: Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Stimulation for Tendon-Bone Healing (American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2018; PMID 29016398).
Relationship statement: King Brand utilized the individual's work in the development of our products and treatments. The study and all the professional's work was independent of King Brand - they did not work for us, nor were they compensated by us - it is truly independent. King Brand has relied on the results of this study, this individual's work, and the work and studies of others in the development of our medical solutions.
