Recently, the application of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of respiratory virus infections has been strongly proven. On April 24, the authoritative journal Science Bulletin published the results of the randomized, open, multicenter clinical study on the effectiveness and safety of cold and dampness granules and nirmatrelvir tablets/ritonavir tablets in the comparative treatment of adult novel coronavirus infection by Cao Bin from China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Guang'anmen Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, and Tong Xiaolin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The results showed that the cold and dampness dissipation granules were better than the control group in a number of key indicators, showing their significant advantages in the treatment of new coronavirus infection.
In the early days of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the cold and dampness particles evolved from the "Wuhan Anti-epidemic No. 1 Formula". The drug is a collection of five classic prescriptions, including Ma Xing Shi Gantang in the Han Dynasty, Bao Bao Da Zao Epsom Lung Tang in the Han Dynasty, Da Yuan Drink in the Ming Dynasty, Shenshu Powder in the Song Dynasty, and Huopu Xia Ling Tang in the Qing Dynasty, and is recommended by the national and local new crown diagnosis and treatment programs for the treatment of new crown ordinary patients. Tong Xiaolin, the developer of the formula, introduced his mental process and treatment experience in developing the formula. Tong Xiaolin said that the cold and dampness dissipation granules are a collection of the essence of ancient famous diagnosis and treatment caused by the beginning of the plague, including cold and fever, headache and body pain, pulmonary carbuncle, lung distention, asthma and cough caused by branch drinking, etc., and combined with the front-line clinical diagnosis and treatment experience of the anti-epidemic, it is finally refined into a "sharp weapon" of traditional Chinese medicine.
"The threat of emerging infectious diseases to human beings always exists, and the practice of the Wuchang model tells us that when we face the unknown X+N, especially in the early stage of the epidemic without specific drugs and vaccines, traditional Chinese medicine should become a 'fire extinguisher' and take on the important task of building the first line of defense in the early stage of the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases in the future. Tong Xiaolin said, "I hope that in the future, we will continue to deepen the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, strengthen the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, multidisciplinary cooperation, and contribute to the construction of a major public health emergency prevention and control system in the mainland with new quality productivity." ”

As the R&D developer of the cold and dampness granules, Xiao Wei, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, chairman of Jiangsu Kangyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and dean of the Research Institute, said that the cold and dampness dissipation granules were developed in accordance with the 3.2 registration requirements in the ancient classic Chinese medicine compound preparations, combined with the production process of drugs actually used in clinical practice during the epidemic. The whole prescription not only has a rigorous TCM diagnosis and treatment theory and the basis of TCM formula, but also has a large number of clinical application data. This is not only the result of scientific research, but also an affirmation of the culture of traditional Chinese medicine. It is hoped that in the future, we can continue to promote the R&D and industrial development of traditional Chinese medicine with scientific and technological innovation, build a high-quality service system of traditional Chinese medicine, and give full play to the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in disease prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.
With the release of this major achievement, we have reason to believe that in the field of global public health, traditional Chinese medicine will continue to play its unique advantages and role and make greater contributions to the cause of human health. (Zhang Mengfan)
