The value and status of traditional Chinese medicine in China's medical system is changing. In recent years, from the central government to local provinces and cities have issued policies and regulations, adhere to the principle of paying equal attention to traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and explore the integration of traditional Chinese medicine into the public health emergency prevention and control system. Industry insiders believe that after the outbreak test, the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine will not only fall on paper. With the central and local governments setting the tone and issuing relevant policies, the development of traditional Chinese medicine has entered a fast track.


Chinese medicine anti epidemic "report card" appeared


The novel coronavirus pneumonia is a major feature of the new Chinese crown syndrome. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, in the absence of specific drugs and vaccines, traditional Chinese medicine has been involved in the whole process of epidemic prevention and treatment and treatment of patients with the help of the methods of strengthening the body and eliminating pathogenic factors and treating the plague in history, which has greatly improved the cure rate and reduced the death rate. Chinese and Western medicine has played a key role in complementing each other's advantages.


China's novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak has been released recently by the Information Office of the State Council, which points out that the Chinese medicine should give full play to its unique advantages. We should adhere to the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine and combine Chinese and Western medicine, give full play to the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of disease, syndrome differentiation and multi-target intervention, and participate in the whole process of deep intervention in epidemic prevention and control.


According to the white paper, during the anti epidemic campaign, TCM hospitals and TCM teams participated in the treatment, the TCM medical team took over several critical wards and shelter hospitals of designated hospitals, and other shelter hospitals sent TCM experts. The novel coronavirus pneumonia is early intervention, full participation and classified treatment, early intervention of Chinese medicine for mild patients, combination of Chinese and Western medicine for critically ill and critically ill patients, and immunity of Chinese medicine patients with fever and close contacts.


According to the data, 92% of the confirmed cases were treated by TCM, and the utilization rate and total effective rate of TCM in Hubei Province exceeded 90%. Novel coronavirus pneumonia, Lianhua Qingwen capsule, granule, Xuebijing injection, Qingfei Baidu decoction, Huashi Baidu decoction, Xuefei Baidu Fang and so on, represented by the three drugs and three prescriptions, are effective for treating different types of new crown pneumonia. The clinical curative effect is accurate, and the incidence rate, the rate of conversion and the mortality rate are reduced effectively. Recovery period.


Taking Qingfei Paidu decoction as an example, Wang Wei, vice president of Beijing University of traditional Chinese medicine, said that experts had done research on the material basis of Qingfei Paidu decoction. At present, more than 300 chemical components and more than 200 kinds of blood components have been identified. Through network pharmacology, it is preliminarily predicted that there are more than 790 potential targets Novel coronavirus pneumonia is regulated by many links. In particular, it can effectively inhibit the production of endotoxin, can avoid or delay the occurrence of inflammatory storm.


Since the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak in novel coronavirus pneumonia, the first clinical research results of Chinese medicine research team published in the Lancet Series in April 24th, the paper shows that the Qingfei detoxification Decoction emergency team based on 662 cases of ten provinces, the study found that neutrophil and lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is the diagnostic and clinical course of COVID-19. Progress has important predictive value.


Traditional Chinese medicine will be brought into the public health emergency prevention and control system


Combination of traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine is a major feature of the epidemic prevention and control. It is also a vivid practice of the essence of TCM inheritance and innovation. In this context, it is necessary to strengthen the participation of traditional Chinese medicine in public health emergency events, and to bring traditional Chinese medicine into the national infectious disease prevention and control system.


Lu Chuanjian, vice president of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, said that in China's existing clinical system of public health prevention and control, almost all infectious disease hospitals in China are dominated by western medicine, and there is no traditional Chinese medicine hospital that can treat infectious diseases and research institutions that study infectious diseases. When an epidemic occurs, traditional Chinese medicine medical institutions can only participate in part of clinical and research work in the form of cooperative units, which hinders the development of traditional Chinese medicine The role of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of new infectious diseases and related scientific research.


Against this background, novel coronavirus pneumonia prevention and control capacity building plan was issued in May 22nd. The national development and Reform Commission pointed out that public health, especially the major epidemic prevention and control, should be focused on the new crown pneumonia epidemic situation, and the layout of medical resources should be adjusted and optimized, and both Chinese and Western medicine should be emphasized. In view of China's national conditions, we should explore the establishment of an emergency response mechanism combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, give full play to the advantages of "simplicity, convenience, test, and honesty" of traditional Chinese medicine, and improve the basic conditions for epidemic prevention and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Among them, we should strengthen the construction of TCM departments, set up TCM departments according to standards and norms, and enhance the ability of Integrated Chinese and Western medicine in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. At the same time, we should support qualified TCM institutions to build laboratories with biosafety level II or III, and improve the scientific research support platform for TCM in response to public health emergencies.


On June 1, Ma Xiaowei, secretary and director of the Party group of the National Health Commission, presided over the enlarged meeting of the Party group. He pointed out that we should further study and promote the reform of disease prevention and control system, improve the direct reporting and early warning system of infectious diseases, and strengthen the construction of health emergency response capacity. We should institutionalize the participation of traditional Chinese medicine in public health emergency response at the first time, and make overall arrangements for the prevention and treatment of a number of traditional Chinese medicine
