September 18, Fourteenth China Society of Respiratory Diseases Annual Meeting held in the city, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the famous expert Zhong Nanshan respiratory disease attended the meeting. At the meeting, Zhong Nanshan said the next 30 years, respiratory diseases will become a huge burden on the people, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, asthma and so on. In addition, this winter and spring but also prevent the H7N9 bird flu recurrence.

Do not buy a home slaughter live poultry consumption

Some time ago, a domestic media reported that the H7N9 bird flu this winter and next spring will kill a Parthian shot. In this regard, Zhong Nanshan said that the current academic or China CDC and other authorities have not clearly stated the winter and next spring there will be a H7N9 outbreak, but still want to prevent the H7N9 bird flu recurrence. He pointed out, H7N9 avian influenza virus is mainly present in the live bird markets. But now, the poultry market and did not get quick and effective management and control. If the weather is cold, there is an outbreak of the epidemic is still possible. In addition, clinical animal experiments show that, H7N9 virus may be spread by droplet infection, which also can not exclude the possibility of human to human transmission. Zhong Nanshan, also pointed out that H7N9 bird flu, people do not panic too much. Last year, H7N9 virus into people's vision, but this virus is not happen last year, but has always been there, but last year was discovered. Zhong Nanshan recommend that people try not to buy a home slaughter of live poultry consumption, from a preventive point of view, this is very important.

Respiratory diseases to be like stroke, myocardial infarction, like being taken seriously

Zhong Nanshan said breathing is smooth, is directly related to a person's physical and mental health and quality of life. However, due to respiratory disease onset is usually slow, obvious symptoms, many people do not pay attention to. Such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease treatment level and the level of awareness is relatively backward. However, according to the survey analysis, 30 years later, COPD mortality and morbidity will increase by 50% or more. Therefore, the medical workers to increase publicity, so that respiratory diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction, like to be known and valued. Zhong Nanshan said, air pollution, smoking and other factors or causes of biofuels increased incidence of lung cancer. In addition, the increase in allergens, but also makes asthma and other allergic diseases increased incidence. Zhong Nanshan, called on the government and individuals should improve air quality, tobacco, etc., to make more effort.

Hospitals asked to monitor flu-like cases

Updated: 2013-09-24


The health bureau of Beijing has asked all hospitals at level two or above in the city to monitor flu-like cases for two weeks in an attempt to keep down a possible epidemic of H7N9 as it gets colder, Beijing News reported on Tuesday.


All flu-likes cases coming to these hospitals and patients hospitalized for severe acute respiratory infections must be monitored for two weeks, the bureau said in its plan to combat H7N9 in the coming months.

A person is considered to have flu-like symptoms if his or her temperature exceeds 38 C with symptoms of a cough or a sore throat.

Children under 5 years old don't have to be running a fever before being monitored, the bureau said. They should be closely monitored if they show acute symptoms of coughing or difficulty breathing, or other signs such as refusing to eat, severe vomiting or sleepiness.

Zhong Nanshan: H7N9 limited human-human transmission may need to guard against this winter and spring

Zhong Nanshan: case reveals limited human transmission of H7N9 may need to guard against this winter and spring
  
October 17, China Academy of Engineering, the famous expert Zhong Nanshan respiratory disease in Hong Kong Chinese University conducted a lecture entitled "From SARS to H7N9 avian influenza - China respiratory disease infection control," the keynote speech. At the meeting, Zhong Nanshan, the current understanding of human infection from avian influenza H7N9 case analysis, combined with the relevant animal experimental results that the H7N9 virus may exist limited human to human transmission.
  
Zhong Nanshan mentioned in a lecture animal experiments, the researchers selected a very close-cell receptor and human ferrets, ferrets were placed in two groups of closely spaced cages were observed. Experiments show that H7N9 virus can be spread through droplets in the air and cause respiratory infections.
  
Tong Qisheng: Respiratory disease expert Zhong Nanshan
  
Before I mention some examples that we called the medical term, there may be a limited human to human transmission, this means that some prerequisites. Why, because animals do some research before it comes to ferrets, ferrets cage two very close, after the wind off, here is sick, and there is also infected the contrast. This indicates that the air is really contagious.
  
Professor Zhong Nanshan also spoke of the medical profession on the mainland two human cases of concern, two of which are to take care of H7N9 patients living in close contact with patients, they did not contact history poultry. The researchers believe that this reflects the H7N9 possible limited human to human transmission.
  
Tong Qisheng: Respiratory disease expert Zhong Nanshan
  
Another one that I talked about before the case, the Chinese mainland has three families, two of which (are household contacts). That case she is taking care of their husbands, she had never had any contact with chicken (poultry), so if there is such limited cases, we have to be vigilant.
  
Recently, the Zhejiang region once again found a case of human infection with the H7N9 avian influenza virus. Professor Zhong Nanshan said sporadic cases appear worthy cause alarm. In particular, into the fall and winter seasons, is the high incidence of influenza season, although he does not believe that the current H7N9 avian influenza outbreak of a large area, but it is still winter and next spring to prevent the recurrence of the epidemic.
  
Tong Qisheng: Respiratory disease expert Zhong Nanshan
  
Generally speaking winter, influenza viruses in general will increase the activity. Now (Zhejiang new) of this case, it should be a good high alert. (But) until now, did not have this (large area) person to person basis, so far, I do not think there will be a big spread of possibilities.
  
The Chinese University of Hong Kong day 50th anniversary celebration of the founding day, Professor Zhong Nanshan Hong Kong Chinese University also awarded honorary doctorate of science in recognition of his development in the medical important contribution. (End)
