The scene of the new book launch.
Yangtze River Daily Wuhan Client, September 22 (Correspondent Ren Yixuan) The Chinese and English academic work "Principles and Practice of COVID-19", co-authored by Hu Ke and Ye Boxin of Wuhan University People's Hospital (Hubei Provincial People's Hospital) and co-authored by more than 100 medical experts from around the world, held a book launch in Wuhan. The book was officially published by the Science Press, and Chen Zhu, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, chairman of the Central Committee of the Peasants' and Workers' Party, president of the Red Cross Society of China, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, attended the launch ceremony and held the unveiling ceremony for the release of the new book.
This medical monograph in the field of covid-19 is divided into two parts, Chinese and English, with a total of more than 1.2 million words, with the participation of 140 Chinese front-line experts from all over the world, experts from the medical team of hubei, global scientists and related professionals, and took 18 months to complete the publication, including Chen Saijuan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Cheng Genhong, an academician of the American Academy of Microbiology. Through the analysis of typical cases during the anti-epidemic period in Wuhan, the monograph discusses the clinical treatment methods and principles in detail, truly reproduces the clinical treatment process of patients, and systematically expounds and discusses the basic research and clinical knowledge related to COVID-19 from the perspectives of different clinical disciplines (such as respiratory, infectious disease, cardiology, gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, etc.), involving epidemiological characteristics, pathogenesis, medical technology and other research fields. A large number of pictures and data are published for the first time, which has both theoretical and practical value.
New book released.
Academician Chen Zhu is the preface to this monograph. He wrote in the preface: "Adhering to the spirit of science, it is particularly important to sort out, think and summarize the medical experience and scientific progress of the fight against the epidemic in a timely, accurate and systematic manner, which will provide a scientific reference for human society to prevent and respond to future pandemic outbreaks." "In the face of the problem of virus traceability, countries around the world need to work together, take science as the basis, respect the professional knowledge and scientific data of scientists and medical scientists, find and clarify the true source and transmission law of the virus, and lay a theoretical foundation for the future formulation of scientific epidemic prevention strategies." The existing scientific evidence supports that the novel coronavirus comes from nature, and the cross-species spread from animals to humans is a long-term complex process. Moreover, retrospective studies in several countries have reported clues to infection with the virus in populations at the end of 2019. Therefore, traceability is a multidisciplinary and multi-country and multi-regional research topic, which requires the international medical science community to conduct research in the spirit of science and firmly exclude the interference of various non-scientific and irrational behaviors. Academician Chen Zhu stressed that the publication of this work can not only provide a reference for global epidemic prevention and control and scientific research, but also provide inspiration and thinking for responding to new pandemics that may occur in the future.
Dr. Gaudn Galea, WHO Representative in China, said in a video address that we must continue to learn and summarize the lessons of the past and work together to protect ourselves. Only by uniting can we control COVID-19. "China has accumulated a wealth of experience in fighting the epidemic, which has contributed to the global response. I'm very much looking forward to the publication of this book, which will tell us how we should respond to this epidemic and the challenges ahead." ”
Professor Hu Ke, the first editor-in-chief of this book and director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine II of Wuhan University People's Hospital, is one of the members of the medical treatment expert group for the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hubei Province. For more than 4 months since the beginning of the epidemic to the discharge of the last patient with positive nucleic acid of the new crown virus, he has been sticking to the front line of anti-epidemic clinical practice and accumulating rich experience in the treatment of new crown pneumonia.
Associate Professor Ye Baixin, co-editor of this book and initiator of the project, has actively participated in the global anti-epidemic rescue work during the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic. At the end of January 2020, while studying in the United States, he cooperated with Tencent and other companies to actively promote the global procurement of more than 100 million overseas medical supplies by the Tencent Charity Foundation, which effectively supported the prevention and control of the epidemic in Wuhan. After returning to China in mid-March 2020, Ye Baixin, with the support of Tencent's technical team, founded the "Global Frontline Doctor Group for Fighting COVID-19" with the participation of more than 2,000 doctors, and organized well-known experts in Wuhan to carry out online dissemination of knowledge and experience in the medical treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, holding a total of 16 online covid-19 academic lectures covering multiple different disciplines to deliver the "Chinese plan" to the world to fight the epidemic. Since then, in order to better promote the global anti-epidemic work, with the support of the Tencent Charity Foundation, experts and scholars from Wuhan University People's Hospital have cooperated with the Science Press to organize 140 professionals around the world to successfully publish the book for 18 months. Dr. Hooke and Ye Baixin wrote in the preface to this book: "In today's unprecedented depth and breadth of globalization, the fate of mankind is closely related, honor and disgrace are shared, and only by abandoning prejudice, shelving controversy, working together to fight the epidemic can all countries truly usher in a bright future for mankind." ”
At the launch ceremony, Tencent Charity Foundation, Wuhan University People's Hospital and Science Publishing House donated 4,000 copies of this book to the Red Cross Society of China as co-donors, and will donate to medical and other related institutions at home and abroad through the Red Cross Society of China to make a contribution to the global fight against the epidemic, and called for "global cooperation and cooperation in fighting the epidemic" to convey China's anti-epidemic experience and belief to the world.
