Cell Res: Bian Xiuwu/Ping Yifang/Zhang Shuyang collaborate to reveal the systemic pathogenesis caused by the new coronavirus

The new coronavirus can be detected in the lungs and multiple extrapulmonary organs of patients with severe coronary pneumonia
.

Recently, Academician Bian Xiuwu, Associate Professor Ping Yifang of the Army Military Medical University, and Professor Zhang Shuyang of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, as co-corresponding authors, published a research paper entitled: A cohort autopsy study defines COVID-19 systemic pathogenesis in Cell Research .

The study described the systemic pathological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and provided new enlightenment for the development of new coronary pneumonia treatment and the recognition of infection mechanisms
.

The presence and tissue damage of permanent SARS-CoV-2 in the lungs and extrapulmonary organs indicate that direct virus invasion is the pathogenic mechanism of critically ill patients with new coronary disease
.

The median age of the 26 autopsy cases used in the study was 67.

The presence of permanent viruses and tissue damage in the lungs and extrapulmonary organs indicate that the direct invasion of the new coronavirus is the main pathogenic factor in critically ill patients.

This study describes the systemic pathological characteristics of the new coronavirus infection and provides a reference for the development of new coronary pneumonia treatment and the understanding of the mechanism of infection
