Latest research: The new coronavirus may directly destroy the heart DNA
University of Queensland recently released a message saying that a new study reveals how the new coronavirus affects the heart and its differences with the impact of the influenza virus on the heart, which provides ideas for treating heart damage caused by the new coronavirus infection.
This study, led by University of Queensland, has been published in the monthly issue of Immunology. Dr. Kurasinha of the University of Queensland, one of the authors of the
study report, said: "Compared with the flu pandemic in 2009, the new crown has caused more serious and long-term cardiovascular disease, but at the molecular level, it is unclear what factors cause this phenomenon." According to reports, the new study used cardiac tissue samples collected from the remains of 7 COVID-19 patients, 2 influenza patients and 6 control patients for analysis.

Results show that researchers found strong inflammation in the heart samples of influenza patients, while tissue changes related to DNA damage and repair were found in the heart samples of patients with new coronavirus patients.
The new coronavirus is likely to have a direct impact on the DNA of the heart, not just by triggering inflammation to bring about a chain reaction.
DNA damage and repair mechanisms can cause genome instability and are related to chronic diseases such as diabetes , cancer, atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative diseases.
This study shows that the new coronavirus and influenza virus will have different effects on heart tissue, which provides more evidence that the new coronavirus is not "similar to the influenza virus."
The future team hopes to conduct in-depth investigations through a larger-scale cohort study .

Singapore will promote traditional Chinese medicine on a large scale
Singapore's health care field adopts a comprehensive strategy. Emergency treatment, public health and elderly care are all comprehensively managed by the Ministry of Health, which allows the Ministry of Health to mobilize resources and promote comprehensive plans to take care of the health of the people.
Health Minister Wang Yikang also said that the health SG is an important step in reforming Singapore's health care system and requires the cooperation of all links to achieve success. To improve the health of the Chinese people and shape a healthier Singapore, it is necessary to gather the strength of all stakeholders such as family doctors, community partners, employers, and residents to jointly promote the realization of this goal of white paper .
Minister also pointed out that preventive care is the key to the healthy SG program, and this is the strength of traditional Chinese medicine, which can play a certain role in the healthy SG program.
"The strength of traditional Chinese medicine is preventive care. There was already such a saying more than 2,000 years ago. Three methods of health preservation: 'Eat calmly, live a regular daily life, and do not work hard'."
The Ministry of Health has established two working groups with the traditional Chinese medicine group in the past year to carry out work on improving the clinical training and career development of traditional Chinese medicine.The results of this work can be used as a reference for the next discussion of the role played by the Chinese medicine field in the health SG program.
In addition, Singapore hospitals, clinics and Leung Comprehensive Service Centers are estimated to increase the number of nurses, all-time medical personnel and other personnel required by 2030 to more than 80,000 to cope with the needs.
