Zhong Nanshan, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering-Great doctors love to protect lives |
On September 8, 2020, the Chinese Academy of Engineeringacademician, Zhong Nanshan, director of the National Respiratory Diseases Clinical Medicine Research Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, was awarded the “Medal of the Republic”.
In the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Zhong Nanshan bravely shouldered the heavy burden, always rushed to the front line, and guarded the people’s life and health with benevolence and benevolence.
Be courageous and protect life
From the sentence 18 years ago, “Transfer the most critically ill patients to me”, to last year’s new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control, “To fight the epidemic, the doctor is the soldier. Who will rush up if we don’t rush?” Zhong Nanshan always carried it on his shoulders. The role of the healer.
On May 21 this year, there was a case of local transmission of the delta variant of the new crown virus in Guangzhou. Under the leadership of Zhong Nanshan, the Guangzhou laboratory launched an emergency response to the epidemic, and the “Falcon” gas film laboratory soon started construction and was put into use .
For the first time, the Guangzhou laboratory summarized the infection characteristics, transmission laws, and clinical characteristics of Delta virus, providing important references for the prevention and control of the virus and policy formulation; the concept of “close connection” and the “yellow code” system have been updated in our community prevention and control strategies , To carry out precise tracking more accurately, providing a reference for other cities in China and even the global screening.
This is Zhong Nanshan once again facing the new crown virus. Even at the age of 85, he still bears courageously and takes the responsibility of protecting life.
On June 30, all the 6 sets of air capsules in the Guangzhou Gymnasium were turned off. The “Falcon” gas film laboratory, which has been fighting for a whole month, has successfully completed its mission to help fight the epidemic with accurate detection, and ushered in the moment of cabin suspension.
Many people will never forget a photo of Zhong Nanshan traveling to Wuhan by high-speed train. That night, he rushed to the front line urgently and was temporarily settled in the dining car. He looked tired, frowned, closed his eyes and rested. Before him was a pile of documents that he had just reviewed… Two days later, he was serving as a national health care provider. The leader of the committee’s high-level expert group, Zhong Nanshan, informed the public that there is “person-to-person transmission” of new coronary pneumonia. After investigation, he quickly put forward the strategy of “early attention, early deployment, early activation, and early implementation”, which won precious time for curbing the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
“Life is supreme, and never give up every life in the treatment of new coronary pneumonia.” Zhong Nanshan led the team of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University to treat a large number of severe patients with new coronary pneumonia in Guangzhou. He presided over the writing and revision of the second to eighth editions of the “New Coronavirus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Plan”. He also used the remote network conference system to take the lead in conducting 24 remote consultations of critically ill and severe cases in Wuhan, Jingzhou, Hubei, and other places with more than 55 cases, guiding clinical diagnosis and treatment, and improving the success rate of critically ill cases.
Respect science, respect the law
Recently, the research team led by Zhong Nanshan has made new results: by comparing patients with domestic vaccines and non-vaccinated patients, it is found that domestic inactivated vaccines have a protective effect on the Delta strain, and the overall protection rate is close to 60%, which is against moderate symptoms. The protection rate is 70%, and the protection rate for critically ill patients has reached 100%.
The results of this research have strengthened people’s confidence in domestically-made inactivated vaccines and conveyed a firm belief in fighting the epidemic. And this also reflects Zhong Nanshan’s professional persistence over the years: respecting science, respecting the law, using professional knowledge and rich experience to study the characteristics of diseases, and providing a basis for formulating treatment plans in a timely manner.
In 2003, during the fight against SARS, Zhong Nanshan and his research team tackled key problems day and night, and finally worked out a set of effective treatment methods in a short period of time, which contributed to reducing the mortality rate and improving the cure rate.
Today, in the face of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and constantly mutating strains, Zhong Nanshan still insists on using the power of science and technology to treat diseases and save people. He led the team to carry out clinical treatment and scientific research at the same time. Isolate live virus strains from clinical samples, feces and urine; carry out the first nationwide study on the clinical characteristics of new coronavirus; carry out research on animal models of new coronavirus infection; carry out research on the prevention and treatment of new coronavirus pneumonia with traditional Chinese medicine; successfully develop new coronavirus IgM Rapid antibody detection kits; development of artificial intelligence applications and predictive model construction; development of new coronavirus vaccine research, pioneering the concept of single isolation and immediate elimination… These studies provide an important basis for accurate clinical understanding and scientific diagnosis and treatment of new coronary pneumonia.
During the epidemic prevention and control period, he and his team led the development of 41 emergency clinical trial projects for new coronary pneumonia, published more than 50 SCI articles in internationally renowned academic journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, and took the lead in completing 3 new coronary pneumonia-related disease guidelines, 2 related works. He has participated in more than 40 international long-distance connections, exchanged discussions with medical experts from 20 countries including the United States, France, Germany, and contributed to the global fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the “Chinese plan”, and made positive contributions to the joint construction of a human health and health community. contribute.
In the face of honor, Zhong Nanshan always said that he is just a doctor who sees a doctor. Whether facing SARS or the new crown, he always insists on seeking truth from facts, and every time he speaks to the public, he can always convey confidence with the professionalism and responsibility of the doctor.
Stick to the front line, treat illnesses and save people
Zhong Nanshan is more than 80 years old and still insists on working in the clinical frontline. According to the hospital staff, Zhong Nanshan still insists on weekly “academicianBig rounds.” In winter, Zhong Nanshan would heat the stethoscope with his hands before giving the patient auscultation. During the examination, he would help the patient to lie down slowly, and then slowly help him up after the examination. No matter how old the patient is and what kind of condition Zhong Nanshan treats people equally. He often said: “After decades of experience in medicine, my greatest happiness is to always be on the front line of treating illnesses and saving people. “
For Zhong Nanshan, it is the bounden duty of a doctor to treat illnesses and save others. Only in this way can he feel happy and life is meaningful.
As an authoritative expert in the field of respiratory science, he has been active in the front line of science popularization for the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. He not only uses his expertise in pathology, epidemiology and other fields, but also personally demonstrates how to wash his hands and wear masks. He painstakingly exhorted people that they must respect medicine, respect knowledge, and strengthen self-isolation.
In December last year, the National Respiratory Medicine Center was listed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, and Zhong Nanshan was appointed honorary director. He proposed that the National Respiratory Medicine Center should play a leading role and drive common development. The practice of early diagnosis and treatment of COPD by his team may change the strategy of COPD diagnosis and treatment around the world.
Today, Zhong Nanshan is still fighting on the front line. He said: “At present, the global epidemic is still relatively serious. We must make more efforts in scientific research and prevention and control, and contribute more to the fight against the epidemic.”
