Academician Zhong Nanshan sent a message to Nankai's students: Happy to meet the prosperous world, when not to live up to the prosperity

Academician Zhong Nanshan is giving a general education class to undergraduate students at Nankai University

"More than 70 years ago, I heard about Nankai University when I was still in middle school. Because our beloved Premier Zhou studied liberal arts at Nankai University, I have a very good impression of Nankai... Nankai University has trained many outstanding scientists. ”

On April 8th, Nankai University's "Famous Teachers Led" general elective course "Frontiers and Challenges in Medicine" welcomed a heavy guest - Zhong Nanshan, a recipient of the Order of the Republic, a famous respiratory expert, and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Academician Zhong Nanshan, with the title of "Science and Technology Guides the Fight Against the Epidemic, Bravely Climbs the Peak of Medicine, and Talks About Innovation with the Vast Number of Young People in Nankai", from the current aspects of prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, innovation and its quality training, has guided the young students' scientific and technological innovation, and has also brought a heavy lesson of home and country feelings, with more than 200,000 people listening to the class online and more than 600,000 likes.

Scientific fight against the epidemic Life is supreme

"In the fight against the virus, the highest human right is human life, a healthy life." Speaking of the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, academician Zhong Nanshan said: "The key issue of new crown pneumonia is to minimize the transmission and case fatality rate. ”

The currently circulating Aomikejung strain has mild symptoms and a relatively low mortality rate compared to Delta virus, for which some countries promote coexistence with the virus. In this regard, Academician Zhong Nanshan said in conjunction with the epidemic situation in Hong Kong and Shanghai that although the mortality rate of Omicron is low, it has strong transmission power, and if it occurs on a large scale, many lives will be lost. "So at present, it is not applicable to China's complete opening up, and for China, it is still necessary to adhere to dynamic zeroing and gradually open up."

Under the new situation, to do a good job in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Academician Zhong Nanshan proposed the "PROTECT" integration strategy, that is, to rely on the epidemic prediction model to guide prevention and control; strengthen vaccination and general vaccine research and development, improve the prevention rate; implement the policy of "antigen screening, nucleic acid diagnosis"; accelerate the research and development of new crown drugs and antibodies; multidisciplinary rehabilitation intervention to reduce the risk of sequelae; realize the integrated prevention and control management of hospitals, communities and grass-roots levels; and change from disease-centered to health-centered.

For vaccination, Academician Zhong Nanshan introduced that through the analysis of the immunogenicity of the vaccine in the laboratory, after two doses of inactivated vaccine, a xenoph vaccine was used, and its serum neutralizing antibody level and specific CD4+ (RBD polypeptide library stimulation) activity were higher than those of three inactivated vaccines. "According to this situation, my own third injection is Zhifei's recombinant protein new crown vaccine." Zhong Nanshan suggested that according to the mainland's "dynamic clearance" strategy of not only reducing severe illness and mortality, but also reducing infection rates, it is recommended to use xenophragm vaccines as a sequential vaccination.

Message to the students live up to the prosperity

In the class, Academician Zhong Nanshan combined many years of clinical cases to vividly interpret the profound connotation of innovation for everyone.

Combined with the case of COPD disease treatment, Academician Zhong Nanshan stressed that innovation should have curiosity, a pioneering spirit and a sense of mission, to pursue the "unknown unknown, known unknown". Combined with the experience of fighting SARS 19 years ago, he mentioned that innovation should respect facts, "authoritative opinions are not always right, and the results of their own practice or personal witness are credible." By sharing the experience of 30 years of PTS research, he stressed that innovation should be persistently pursued, and said that persistent pursuit is the key to success. At the same time, he also mentioned that innovation should strengthen collaboration, and it is necessary to establish a foothold and develop drugs and technologies that meet China's national conditions.

With regard to how young students can better grow into talents and realize the value of life, Academician Zhong Nanshan gave a sincere exhortation of "being willing to work, being capable, being good at doing good work, being able to do it, being persistent, and daring to do it." He said: To be willing to work, we must have motivation and never be satisfied; to be able, we must have the ability to practice the basic skills; to be able to do well, we must have cohesion and arouse enthusiasm; if we want to work constantly, we must have physical strength and lifelong exercise; to dare to work, we must have the ability to resist setbacks and never say defeat. When talking about lifelong exercise, Academician Zhong Nanshan also "generously" showed his fitness photos, emphasizing that "scientists should exercise" and encouraging everyone to "make my health my master".

At the end of the class, Academician Zhong Nanshan put forward ardent expectations for the young students of Nankai University, "I hope that the students will enjoy the prosperous world, and when they live up to the prosperous world, you will not only have ideals, but also have dreams; not only have requirements, but also pursue; not only have ambition, but also strive for morale; not only have enthusiasm, but also have passion." Academician Zhong Nanshan said with emotion.

The doctor sincerely inspires the youth

After listening to this class, Ren Yifan, an undergraduate student majoring in clinical medicine at Nankai University School of Medicine, benefited a lot, and she said that her future career choices were more clear. "I am a senior in college this year, and I was hesitant to do any work in the future, but after listening to this class, I want to firmly choose clinical work, because I feel that this is my mission as a clinical medicine student, to save every patient, every patient." 」

"Academician Zhong focused on innovation and mission, and the feeling of family and country in him also deeply touched me." Wang Zhenyu, an undergraduate student at the School of Statistics and Data Science of Nankai University, said, "At present, our country's scientific and technological level still has a certain gap with the world's first-class, and these card neck technologies are exactly what the country needs, as a young student, as Academician Zhong said, to turn 'I want to do' into 'I want to do', be committed to innovation, and make contributions to the young generation." ”

This class also deeply inspired Shen Tianyu, a young teacher at Nankai University School of Medicine, "I think that for myself, in the future, while educating students on medical knowledge, I may be more likely to integrate some medical humanities or life-like education, and through these deep-seated things, students can better understand life from multiple perspectives." “

"I believe that for the students, this lesson is not only a lesson in knowledge transmission, but also a vivid and vivid lesson in political science." Cao Xuetao, president of Nankai University, said in the host, "Academician Zhong Nanshan is an excellent example for us, and I believe that this class will have a profound inspiration for students on how to treat their studies in the future, how to choose future careers, and how to take responsibility in the industry." He said.

This class is the fourth lecture of the series of courses led by famous teachers of Nankai University in "Frontiers and Challenges of Medicine", which is led by Cao Xuetao, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of Nankai University, and jointly taught by 12 academicians, aiming to lead undergraduate students who have just entered the university to appreciate the endless charm of the frontiers of science, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the peak of medicine, and establish the lofty ambition of scientific research to serve the country and benefit mankind.
