  After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, Chinese scientists detected the gene sequence of the new crown virus at the first time, and then announced it to the world. This provided the basis for the detection and treatment of new crown pneumonia.

Later (Chinese scientists) clarified that RBD (receptor binding domain) binds to the ACE receptor of human cells, causing infection.

The neutralizing antibody can bind to the S protein (viral spike protein) to prevent RBD from binding to the ACE receptor, thereby blocking the infection of the new coronavirus.

  [Explanation] During the epidemic, traditional Chinese medicine played a unique role in both epidemic prevention and treatment.

At the scene, Wu Yiling, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and founder of TCM collaterals, also shared his insights through a speech.

  We analyzed the law of the occurrence and development of SARS and organized a new prescription Lianhua Qingwen.

Clinical studies jointly organized by Academician Zhong Nanshan, Academician Zhang Boli, and Academician Li Lanjuan confirmed that Lianhua Qingwen has a relieving effect on the clinical symptoms of patients with new coronary pneumonia and reduces The occurrence of severe illness.

Therefore, it is now included in the country’s recommended medications, and the indications for new coronary pneumonia have been added. It has now been applied in more than a dozen countries to fight the epidemic abroad.

  [Commentary] At the meeting, many guests also showed the latest research and development progress in the field of anti-epidemic.

Cheng Jing, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chair professor of Tsinghua University School of Medicine, and his team have developed a mobile laboratory for rapid detection of the new coronavirus, which is equipped with a number of "hard core" technologies.

  The first one is to use a robot for sampling. From the open window on the left, the manipulator will extend. People only need to stand in the window and the throat swab will be collected.

After entering, we have a rapid virus inactivation instrument, and finally complete the rapid test. The result of the test is reported directly through the 5G communication system. As long as it detects the new coronavirus positive, the data will be sent to where it should go through 5G in an instant. , Such as the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, such as the Emergency Office.

  [Explanation] It is reported that the Zhongguancun Forum was founded in 2007 and is an international scientific and technological innovation exchange and cooperation platform that integrates scientific and technological exchanges and the display, release and trading of innovative achievements.

The 2020 Zhongguancun Forum takes "cooperative innovation and common challenges" as the theme, and launches four major sections of "conference + exhibition + transaction + release". A total of more than 50 events will be presented in the four days of the conference.
