"Stroke is a disease with extremely high morbidity, disability rate and mortality in China, but through drug thrombolysis and catheter thrombolysis treatment, most patients can stand up again and act as usual." Unfortunately, many patients do not understand stroke, thinking that a rest will be better, missed the best treatment time of 4.5 hours, thus leaving a lifetime regret of disability. Zhao Jing, a professor at Fudan University, said.
In order to further pay attention to the problem of stroke, the World Stroke Organization recently announced the establishment of a new branch, the Pre-hospital Medical Working Group, and appointed Zhao Jing and Liu Renyu, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, as the co-chair of the organization's pre-hospital medical working group.

In the future, Zhao Jing will work with 9 experts from 7 countries around the world to focus on key issues related to pre-stroke medical treatment, including improving the awareness of first aid and prevention of stroke, optimizing pre-hospital medical processes, and advocating national and local policy improvements, thereby reducing the burden of stroke worldwide. In this working group, there is also Professor Li Dou, director of the Beijing Emergency Center and chairman of the Emergency Branch of the Chinese Stroke Society.
WorldWind is the only global organization dedicated to stroke, with thousands of individuals and members of 90 institutions around the world, including stroke societies around the world, representing more than 55,000 stroke experts worldwide who are engaged in clinical and scientific research.
In 2016, Zhao Jing and Liu Renyu proposed the "Stroke 120" three-step recognition method, which was published in The Lancet Neurology, which contained "1 look - 1 face asymmetry, crooked corners of the mouth; 2 checks - two arms, unilateral weakness, can not be lifted; 0 (listen) listening - speech is slurred, do not understand", if any of the above symptoms suddenly occur, immediately call the emergency number 120.
The above identification method is simple and easy to understand, and has been applied on a pilot basis in Shanghai's Minhang District, which has greatly reduced the pre-hospital delay of "stroke". In recent years, the concept of "Stroke 120" has been gradually promoted in China, and has attracted great attention and praise from the international medical community, and has also been applied and promoted in more than 1,500 hospitals across the country.
In order to make "Stroke 120" more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, from micro-videos to micro-movies, from popular science comics to songs, fire dance performances, as long as you can think of the way of science popularization, Zhao Jing is willing to try, and even personally appear on camera, personally dubbed, in order to let more people master the stroke recognition method. For this reason, she was once misunderstood as a "doctor who does not do his job".
Micro-video is the most widely used and widely used of these popular science methods, and more than 30 dialect versions have been launched so far, and the Tibetan version and Uyghur language version have also been produced and will be launched soon. The content of the video is also various, including classic version, children's version, sand painting version, surgical version and so on.
Zhao Jing hopes that one day this simple and easy-to-operate quick life-saving method can enter thousands of households and become an essential skill that everyone can master. "Stroke 120, if it can be widely spread like 'fire to hit 119', China's stroke disability rate will drop significantly."
