Devoted to the study of "tick disease" to escort all living beings

2022-10-09

Slightly petite, wearing a royal blue dress, and long hair casually draped on the shoulders - this is the impression of Liu Wei, a researcher of the Academy of Military Medicine of the Academy of Military Sciences, on the first interview. When asked about his feelings about winning the 17th "China Young Female Scientist Award", Liu Wei said: "This is a recognition of my achievements in the field of new infectious diseases research, and also a spur to me, encouraging me to forge ahead at a new starting point and climb the scientific peak." In 2000, Liu Wei was admitted to the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, the predecessor of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, from the former Shandong Medical University, and successfully became a master doctor. Photographed by Zhang Zhenwei/Guangming Picture In 2003, "SARS" hit China. In the face of "SARS", from virus isolation, epidemiological investigation, transmission chain analysis to long-term follow-up of the population... Liu Wei was in a research institute with less than 200 people, but he was undertaking heavy national and military research projects. "Our institute is at the forefront of the fight against the epidemic." "SARS" made Liu Wei realize the value of his major. It is also in the forefront of scientific research to fight against SARS that Liu Wei has more opportunities for close communication and in-depth cooperation with top scientists in public health, viruses and infectious diseases at home and abroad. These in-depth exchanges and thought collisions have inspired her innovative research ideas and ways of thinking. After completing his doctoral studies with excellent academic achievements, Liu Weiyi chose to work in the institute without hesitation. Since then, he has started a long-term and persistent exploration on the road of new infectious diseases. Liu Wei has devoted himself to the study of fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in the past decade. In the summer of 2009, dozens of farmers died of unknown causes in rural areas of Xinyang, Henan Province and central Anhui Province. Most of these patients were bitten by ticks. In 2010, Chinese scholars first isolated the pathogen of this new tick disease: fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus. Liu Wei studied a series of tick borne viruses represented by this virus. Because of the unique breeding environment of ticks, people in remote mountainous areas or soldiers stationed in the field are often infected with tick disease. "It is our mission to protect people's lives and health and ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops." Liu Wei quickly focused on the fever associated with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus. "It has been more than ten years since the sentinel hospital in the epidemic focus welcomed the first group of enthusiastic researchers in 2010. The people who came to look for tick disease hotspots have gradually dispersed, leaving only Liu Wei and her team to continue their research." Cui Ning, director of the Infection Department of PLA 990 Hospital, said. At the beginning of each spring, Liu Wei and his team went to Xinyang, Henan Province, to catch ticks and rats in the wild, paid a return visit to the army and the masses, and carried out clinical experiments. Finally, they established a full chain technical system that included case diagnosis, differential diagnosis, prognosis judgment and critical care. Liu Wei and his team members continuously optimized and improved the pathogen diagnosis technology, screened and found the specific therapeutic drugs for fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, which greatly reduced the mortality of patients. Their relevant scientific research achievements also benefit other insect borne disease fields - through continuous research
