a white paper on "China's Action against the New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic". It truly records the arduous course of China's fight against the epidemic. The white paper points out that in the past few months, China has been working together in the two battlefields of prevention and control and treatment, and science and technology have played a supporting role.
now look back, in the face of the new crown pneumonia outbreak out of the examination papers, China can quickly solve the problem, can not be separated from the various forms of fighting in the first line of the anti-epidemic university team. They face up to difficulties and fight on multiple lines. Their hard work has also become a vivid thought and politics lesson for guang university students.the first line of anti-epidemic relief, is more than a hundred college-affiliated hospital medical staff forget to fight the main battleground. Only one Huahua Central University of Science and Technology has invested in 10 hospitals, such as Affiliated Concord Hospital and Tongji Hospital, with a total of 8,900 beds, accounting for nearly 40% of the total number of open beds in Wuhan City, and about 6000 beds in the management of Fangfang Hospital . . .
The university war "epidemic" behind the unpaid doctor benevolence, is the courage and responsibility of life to protect life. Whether it is Zhang Boli
, president of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who has taken the lead in the first line, or Professor Zhang Wenhong, director of the infection department of Huashan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University, who has knowledge of epidemic prevention, or Concord medical staff who have landed the Concord Severe Disease Model on the front line of the epidemic prevention, they are pulling life back from the brink of death day and night.
outbreak suddenly, before the success of the development of new drugs, the selection of hand-available old medicine is the most convenient way to save the dead and wounded. Experts from more than 10 universities, including Zhejiang University, Zhongshan University, China Pharmaceutical University and Nanjing University, raced against death on their respective tracks. Using artificial intelligence, big data and other methods, they screened out a number of potential inhibitors from a large number of related drugs, some of which have been shown to have clinical therapeutic effects.
Sun Yat-sen University took the lead in proposing chloroquine phosphate treatment program, Zhejiang University after screening and in vitro cell experiments, proposed that Abidor has a better anti-neo-coronavirus effect, both drugs were selected in the sixth and seventh editions of the diagnosis and treatment program. Zhang Boli, of Tianjin University of Traditional chinese medicine
first proposed the Chinese medicine into the square cabin, and achieved good results and quickly spread to all square cabin hospitals. Hua zhong university of science and technology, "Tongji coffee" golden leaf detox particles, "Concord black tea" Chinese medicine compound medicine has also played an important role in the clinical.
new crown pneumonia critically ill patients are generally older, many accompanied by underlying diseases, the course of the disease is fast, is a major difficulty in the war epidemic. Many colleges and universities have actively explored therapeutic methods for this purpose. Tongji University, through the development of human umbilical cord-to-interstitiotic stem cell-assisted treatment of the relevant program research, severe patients after receiving interstital charge stem cell infusion did not appear adverse reactions, the overall indicators improved significantly, in clinically can see the lung lesions improved, the comprehensive indicators have been significantly improved.
Zhejiang University carried out research on the treatment of severe cases of artificial liver neo-crown pneumonia, the level of inflammatory factors decreased significantly, the CT examination of lungs improved significantly, and the success rate of treatment of heavy and critical patients improved significantly.win the people's war, the overall war, the resistance war, science and technology is an important support, scientific research workers are an important force. On February 1, the Ministry of Education issued a special notice, asking colleges and universities to speed up scientific research, on the one hand, focus on the urgent need to produce practical and effective scientific research results around virus detection, vaccine development, drug research and development as soon as possible;
more than 100 colleges and universities after 3 months of continuous struggle, around the testing of reagents, drug research and development, vaccine development focused on the attack, produced a number of excellent results, effectively supporting the national and even global epidemic prevention and control work.
in the area of virus detection, the Ministry of Education has organized 23 colleges and universities to carry out continuous research from different technical routes of nucleic acid, antigen and antibody detection. From the beginning of prevention and control work in mid-January 2020, Shanghai Jiaobo University on the rapid joint enterprise action, developed a new type of coronavirus automatic closed detection platform and PCR testing kit, the first batch through the State Drug Administration approval, and put into clinical first-line use.
Other significant achievements include: Chongqing Medical University developed the first approved chemical luminescent antibody detection products, Tsinghua University, Wuhan University developed a multi-pathogen detection products, including new coronavirus detection of a variety of respiratory viruses, Sichuan University research and development of anti-medical test kit , only need to collect a drop of finger blood, within 10 minutes can be completed with the naked eye testing, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Tianjin University, Xi'an Jiao Jiao University and other joint related enterprises developed a series of new coronavirus detection reagent products through the European Union, Singapore, Australia and other international certification, has been sold in many countries and regions around the world.
In drug research and development, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University and other universities have isolated antibodies with highly medium and active activity against the new coronavirus from the blood of patients recovering from neo crown pneumonia, and are stepping up their exploration of new ways of antibody therapy.
In terms of vaccine research, Xiamen University, Tsinghua University, Sichuan University, Fudan University, Tongji University and other university research team from the Spring Festival, fast horse whipping, go all out, focusing on influenza virus vector vaccine, adenovirus vector vaccine, recombinant protein vaccine, nucleic acid vaccine 4 technical routes in parallel, in collaboration with research institutes and related enterprises, to speed up the development of new coronary pneumonia vaccine, has been declared clinical trials.
under the organization of the Ministry of Education, colleges and universities also co-ordinate financial resources, actively explore channels of cooperation between enterprises, set up emergency special projects on their own, and fund key technologies for epidemic prevention and control and clinical research. Tsinghua University set up the "Spring Wind Fund", the first phase of investment of 50 million yuan to support interdisciplinary research on the new crown pneumonia, Xiamen University from the "double-first-class" construction funds allocated 15 million yuan, the establishment of a "new crown virus textile research and research special fund", Zhejiang University innovative school-enterprise cooperation model, jointly with Shanghai Dream Information Technology Co., Ltd. set up a special fund of 100 million yuan, for the national collection and funding of emergency projects.war is not difficult because of the "slyness" of the new coronavirus. In addition to traditional drug vaccines and other therapeutic materials, the fight against the epidemic also requires a large number of advanced equipment and medical supplies input.
front line is the most dangerous and arduous front, and it is the key place that needs artificial intelligence to play its role and support and guarantee. During the outbreak, the medical service robot "Little Jia" began to work in Wuhan Lei Shenshan Hospital, wandering through the wards for disinfection and sterilization. Appearing on the front line of the epidemic, this special robot force can not be separated from Wuhan University science and technology workers overtime research and development and efforts.
universities have also made innovations in the rapid use of artificial intelligence. Tongji University led the development of intelligent identification system for epidemic prevention and control, can quickly assess the risk of individual infection in the human flow, Hunan University developed two-arm collaborative auxiliary diagnosis and treatment robot, intelligent disinfection and inspection robot, disinfectant detection robot has been put into clinical use in Changsha.
in order to better provide medical protection, Shanghai Jiaojiao University co-production enterprises quickly completed the "one-time anti-splash isolation towel", in Wuhan Hospital and Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center played an important role. Hua zhong University of Science and Technology in order to solve the problem of insufficient capacity of masks in the early stages of the epidemic, in a week for a number of enterprises to design more than 80 high-speed automatic flat mask production line, and soon put into production.
outbreak has brought new challenges to medical waste disposal and public health protection. In order to solve the health problems that medical waste may bring, Shanghai Jiaoda University joint enterprise quickly developed a "mobile medical waste incineration party cabin", soon put into use in Wuhan epidemic prevention line, daily incineration, harmless treatment of medical waste 5 tons.addition to testing reagents, vaccine drugs, epidemic prevention and other "hard equipment", the epidemic resistance war can not be separated from situational research, data statistics and education guidance and other "soft services." Under the deployment of the Ministry of Education, colleges and universities give full play to the advantages of multidisciplinary, in the data model prediction analysis, psychological guidance and other aspects to provide all-round scientific and technological support.
information system to carry out the epidemic situation assessment. In order to grasp the outbreak at home and abroad in real time, Tsinghua University has quickly set up a real-time situational awareness and analysis system for the outbreak, serving the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention and more than 20 provinces and cities. Peking University, Nan kai University, Xi'an Jiaotong University and other universities use big data technology to build a model of epidemic transmission, the outbreak prevention and control assessment, prediction.
outbreak not only threatens people's life safety and health, but also profoundly affects people's mental health, do a good job of humanistic care, is to win this epidemic prevention and control resistance war and the people's war an important part. To this end, Shaanxi Normal University, Sichuan University, Tongji University, Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nanjing Medical University and other universities published a number of mental health manuals to help the public through the psychological crisis;
Relying on the key laboratory of the Ministry of Youth Psychology and Behavior, Central China Normal University has set up a psychological helpline platform, bringing together more than 4,000 professional consultant volunteers from more than 1,200 universities and other institutions to provide accurate psychological assistance to medical personnel, patients and family members of new crown pneumonia, police officers and security personnel on the front line of epidemic prevention.
snow pressure green pine, green pine straight and straight. In this battle, China's epidemic prevention and control has achieved significant strategic results, for the global epidemic prevention has accumulated valuable experience. Under the deployment of the Ministry of Education, colleges and universities
make concerted efforts to overcome difficult times, continue to carry out scientific and technological research, in order to win the new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control of the people's war, the overall war, resistance to the war to contribute wisdom and strength.
