Infectious diseases are very special, which can cross the factors such as race, wealth, country, class and belief, especially malaria, AIDS, hepatitis B, enterovirus, tuberculosis, influenza and other diseases are the focus of Taiwan's research. Taiwan Province Province is located in the subtropical zone. In a warm and humid environment, infectious diseases spread viruses through different media, such as insects, animals, droplets, blood, contact, drinking water and food.
In the face of the water drop storm, Taiwan Province Province did this.
The virus spread by droplets is nothing more than influenza, tuberculosis and other diseases, which has a far-reaching impact on densely populated Taiwan Province Province. According to the statistics of Taiwan Province CDC, Ministry of Health and Welfare of Taiwan Province Province, 1947, 18533 people died of tuberculosis, 1982, 89 children died of polio, 1998, and 78 children died of enterovirus EV7 1 in 2003. The above data show that neglect is not enough to fight against new infectious diseases, and Taiwan Province Province must actively face it to keep domestic medical knowledge, scientific research and technology in step with international ones.
In cooperation with WHO, the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis was declared positive.
The earliest tuberculosis prevention and control work in Taiwan Province Province began in the Japanese occupation era of 19 14. Faced with the increasing number of TB deaths in 1947, Taiwan Province Province entered the community to fight tuberculosis and started the prevention and control mechanism with the foreign aid of the United States and the World Health Organization (WHO) after the war. Taiwan Province province 195 1 started BCG vaccination, 1954 set up X-ray patrol, 1957 launched the first national tuberculosis prevalence survey, 1957 started free drug treatment, 1965 fully vaccinated infants with BCG vaccine.
After years of changes, Taiwan Province Province has gradually changed from a recipient country to a self-reliant country, and gradually mastered the three major axes of tuberculosis prevention and control, taking BCG vaccination and tuberculin test, patient discovery (chest X-ray examination and sputum examination) and chemical drug treatment (patient management and free treatment) as principles. 1997, the pilot office of rural areas in mountainous areas launched the DOTS, in which trained observers "deliver the medicine to the hand, take it to the mouth and swallow it before leaving", and take nursing medicine for at least five days every week, so as to ensure that every patient takes each medicine regularly, which effectively reduces the probability of tuberculosis infection and the difficulty of treatment.
According to the WHO announcement in 2006, the DOTS program was fully implemented and popularized in Taiwan Province Province in 2007. In 20 12, the CDC invited Edwin Antonio Paz, who was the head of tuberculosis prevention and control project of San Francisco Public Health Department, to personally visit counties and cities to evaluate the effectiveness of DOTS team organization and operation. Dr Paz once said that the operation and control effect of Du Zhi in Taiwan Province Province has made obvious progress compared with its initial stage, and the central and local governments should continue to move in this right direction.
According to the CDC, according to statistics, from the implementation of DOTS project in 2007 to 20 17, the number of pulmonary tuberculosis cases managed dropped significantly, from 440 cases to 152 cases, the success rate of treatment increased to 82.4%, and the rate of treatment interruption and treatment failure was less than 3%. This achievement won the international authoritative journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
Facing the pain, Taiwan Province Province is committed to vaccine research.
Facing the pain caused by enterovirus 1998 in Taiwan Province Province, Taiwan Province Province turned the death cases into the driving force of vaccine research and development. According to the statistics of CDC, enterovirus is the general name of a group of viruses. 1998-2006,560 cases of enterovirus/kloc-0 were diagnosed, of which enterovirus 7 1 type accounted for 40.2%. Among 244 cases of enterovirus death, up to 45.5% belonged to enterovirus 7 1. Viruses spread by droplets break out every three to five years. According to Wang Zhenren, a professor at Yicheng University, due to different genotypes or recombination with Coxsackie virus, cross-protection between viruses has become an important consideration in vaccine development.
People in Taiwan Province Province generally agree that "health is a basic human right". Although the health insurance system faces different challenges, Taiwan Province Province is still making efforts. In the face of the pain caused by illness, the most effective way is to defend your health with action. Thanks to the efforts of researchers in Taiwan Province Province, in 20 1 1 year, the national institutes of health (NIH) published the results of the first phase of human clinical trial of enterovirus 7 1 vaccine, which confirmed that the safety and antibody response were good, and the cells and viruses in the trial obtained international certification, becoming the world's first enterovirus 765433.
It is very important to deal with the threat of enterovirus to children's health! In 20 17, the National Institutes of Health established the Asia-Pacific Enterovirus Monitoring Network (APNES), and actively cooperated with Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia to carry out health and epidemic prevention and vaccine research, which is more conducive to the collection and research of enterovirus epidemiological data in Southeast Asia. Lin, chairman of the National Institutes of Health, said that enterovirus contains more than 100 serotypes, and polio virus, enterovirus 7 1, enterovirus 68 and a few Gram-Zazie virus types are easy to cause serious complications; In addition, international literature also pointed out that Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia are areas with a large number of newborns and prone to EV7 1. The establishment of Asia-Pacific enterovirus detection network can provide countries with a grasp of the epidemic situation and virus evolution, and also add a layer of protection for the growth of newborns.
Out of concern about the flu epidemic, Taiwan Province Province launched a self-made vaccine program.
? Sexual apathy (abbreviation? Is it global? It has always been the focus of the world's attention. In the 20th century, something happened? The world three times? , respectively 19 18? H 1N 1、 1957？ H2N2, and 1968? H3N2. Most epidemiological studies indicate that? Feeling? In a certain range, it may be a community, a city or a country; The common feature of regional influenza is "sudden", which occurs within 2 to 3 weeks. Sudden increase In order to monitor the subtype of influenza virus and the change of antigenicity drugs in the community, CDC set up a "virus infection contracted laboratory" from 1999, and entrusted eight medical centers. The virus laboratories in each hospital and their surrounding sampling points formed an active monitoring system.
Under the threat of global influenza, vaccines have become the first choice for epidemic prevention in all countries. Entrusted by Europe and the United States, major international vaccine factories fully supply emergency influenza vaccines in Taiwan Province Province and other regions, so that Taiwan Province Province can start the influenza vaccine self-made plan. The epidemic prevention measures and experience established in the late period of SARS in 2004 laid a good epidemic prevention foundation for the outbreak of H 1N 1 new influenza in 2009. Guoguang Biotechnology, a brand-new vaccine factory and a brand-new team, openly planned and invited tenders, which enabled Taiwan Province Province to successfully produce a new influenza virus vaccine with international quality for the first time within four months.
This epidemic is likely to cause huge social panic and economic impact. Vaccination is not 100% protection. It is necessary to further strengthen vaccine efficacy and drug research and development capabilities through long-term personnel training and monitoring of various pathogens. Only by cooperating with the world and planning international exchanges, such as exchanging epidemic prevention strategies and obtaining information on pathogen changes, can the epidemic situation be effectively blocked from the beginning and immediate prevention and control measures be provided.
The prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases is not a national matter.
Due to frequent international economic and trade exchanges, national barriers no longer constitute obstacles to the spread of epidemics. According to the global prevention and control experience, it is necessary to popularize vaccination and improve the efficiency of the monitoring system in order to improve the group immunity and prevent the spread of the epidemic. Over the years, advanced countries and non-governmental organizations around the world have continued to provide financial and human support for the global eradication program and help establish monitoring systems in endemic areas. Faced with the challenge of new viruses, due to the influence of laws, environment, economy, beliefs, politics and other factors in various countries, epidemic prevention is prone to epidemic prevention gaps. Taiwan Province Province hopes to implement the concept of "health is a basic human right", turn slogans into actions, use the energy of international conferences to integrate the experiences, advantages and resources of various countries, effectively reduce epidemic prevention and provide a better living environment for the next generation.
