The school became the national "endemic nail disease" and "endemic disease" research center; "Research on magnetic resin root canal filling materials and technologies" won the third prize of the National Science and Technology Invention Award, filling the domestic gap at that time. Since the reform and opening up, the school has embarked on a medical and technological development path of integration of industry, academia and research, and successfully incubated a high-tech biopharmaceutical company-Jinzhou Aohong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., becoming a model of integration of industry, academia and research in the field of higher medicine in the country.
