Yesterday (21st), the first Space Medicine Frontier Forum was held in Beijing, where experts and scholars from aerospace medicine, space brain science, biomedical engineering and other fields exchanged the achievements in the field of aerospace medicine research during the construction period of the mainland space station, and discussed future development trends and new technologies.
From Shenzhou XII to Shenzhou 16 manned mission, manned spaceflight has achieved a breakthrough from short-term flight to long-term healthy residence, at present, aerospace medicine covering the whole mission cycle of the comprehensive confrontation protection system, will also provide a strong theoretical support and technical platform for the ground public cardiovascular, musculoskeletal system, neurodegenerative disease and other research.
Li Yinghui, Director of the National Key Laboratory of Aerospace Medicine of China Astronaut Scientific Research and Training Center and Deputy Chief Designer of Astronaut System of China Manned Space Engineering Li Yinghui: Based on the bone loss countermeasure formed by bone flow vibration, this can effectively protect our astronauts in orbit. For public health, it can also play an auxiliary role in the decline of degenerative senile bones. In addition, some acupoint stimulators we have developed to systematically regulate the cardiovascular bones and muscles, which are also helpful for degenerative and systemic problems on the ground.
Wu Bin, researcher of China Astronaut Scientific Research and Training Center and deputy chief designer of astronaut system of China Manned Space Engineering Wu Bin: In fact, aerospace science and technology are also very close to public life, and there are many examples of practical transformation. For example, the portable ultrasound we used before, including bedside monitors like our hospital, was also in aerospace at the beginning, because it pays attention to miniaturization, responsiveness, and integration, so that the technology is directly converted to bedside monitoring.
The Chinese space station has been fully transferred to the stage of application and development, and the National Key Laboratory of Aerospace Medicine has been successfully established. The application of advanced on-orbit health maintenance technology in space station operation and manned lunar landing missions is also the focus of attention of everyone in this forum.
Wu Bin, researcher of China Astronaut Scientific Research and Training Center and deputy chief designer of astronaut system of China Manned Space Engineering: The biggest difference between deep space exploration and low-earth orbit flight is that it is far away, and it is necessary to go to extraterrestrial planets, such as the moon and Mars, which will bring great challenges to the health of astronauts. But in deep space, due to the lack of protection of the Earth's magnetic field, astronauts will receive more severe radiation than low-Earth orbit. In addition, if there is a more serious injury in our low-earth orbit, it can return to the ground for treatment. However, because of the long distance, deep space exploration is not realistic in terms of time, so this will put forward a high demand for autonomous medical technology.
Li Yinghui, Director of the National Key Laboratory of Aerospace Medicine of China Astronaut Scientific Research and Training Center and Deputy Chief Designer of Astronaut System of China Manned Space Engineering Li Yinghui: The research we are doing now is on the one hand oriented to the long-term operation of our space station, and on the other hand, we are also accumulating technologies and methods for deep space exploration. For example, our long-term human adaptation, response and law to the environment These studies and different gravity environmental conditions, such as our rapid response to human posture under 1/3 gravity or 1/6 gravity, rapid adaptation of human musculoskeletal, these studies can continue to accumulate theories and technologies for our deep space exploration.
