"China has reported more than 80,000 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, of which more than 70,000 people have received different degrees of interventional treatment of traditional Chinese medicine." Zhang Boli, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, visited China.com and Qiao.com on the 23rd During the video interview, it was stated that in the course of China's fight against the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the intervention of Chinese medicine has reached an unprecedented depth and breadth.
Zhang Boli said that Chinese medicine has obvious advantages in the treatment of mild patients. It can shorten the duration of symptoms such as fever, cough, and fatigue, shorten the time required for the patient's nucleic acid test to turn negative, and improve the degree of inflammation absorption in the lungs of the patient. Can reduce the proportion of mild to severe.
"In the process of anti-epidemic medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, we have adopted two new methods of" old medicine "and new drug development." Zhang Boli introduced that Lianhua Qingwen Capsule, Jinhua Qinggan Granule and Xuebijing Injection are three "old medicines" "During the treatment of new coronary pneumonia, an extensive clinical evaluation has been made and good results have been achieved.
"And in the development of new drugs, there are already three clinical experience parties for clearing lungs and detoxifying, eliminating dampness and detoxifying the lungs, and two of them have obtained clinical approvals, and one is under declaration." Zhang Boli emphasized that It is our excellent tradition to discover and develop a batch of good medicines under the great epidemic situation.
Talking about the role of traditional Chinese medicine in international cooperation against "epidemic disease", Zhang Boli said, "We are widely introducing the experience of traditional Chinese medicine against epidemic to the world. For example, we held a video conference with the World Health Organization, and also through the World Association of Chinese Medicine And the World Federation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Societies and other platforms to exchange experiences with their counterparts around the world. "
According to Zhang Boli, the current interest and demand for Chinese medicine overseas are higher than ever. He introduced that Thailand, Ecuador and other countries have already approved the registration of Lianhua Qingwen as a drug, and Russia, Portugal and other countries are also in the process of approval.
"Under the current situation, overseas Chinese should do 'three more and three less', that is, go out less, gather less, eat less together, wash more hands, ventilate more and rest more." Zhang Boli emphasized, especially the importance of wearing masks, now appeared For some asymptomatic patients, wearing a mask can effectively reduce the risk of infection.
Zhang Boli suggested that mild patients overseas should not simply be isolated at home, but should receive Chinese medicine treatment. "Overseas Chinese can consult local Chinese medicine doctors, take traditional Chinese medicine, and supplement with comprehensive treatments such as Tai Chi, Baduanjin and acupoint application."
Regarding the development trend of the global epidemic, Zhang Boli predicts that the epidemic will not completely disappear in the next one to two years, and there may be another wave of the epidemic in autumn and winter this year. "Now the development of vaccines is accelerating all over the world. Once the vaccine is successfully developed and most people obtain antibodies, new coronary pneumonia may become a normalized disease that can coexist with humans." (End)
