UCheng Jing, isazinzulu esineqela elaphuhlisa “itshiphu” yokuqala ye-DNA yaseTshayina yokufumanisa i-SARS kwiminyaka eli-17 eyadlulayo, unegalelo elikhulu kwidabi lokulwa nobhubhane we-COVID-19.
Kwisithuba esingaphantsi kweveki enye, wakhokela iqela ukuba lenze ikhithi eyayinokuchonga ngaxeshanye iintsholongwane ezintandathu zokuphefumla, kuquka i-COVID-19, kwaye ihlangabezane neemfuno ezingxamisekileyo zokuxilongwa kwezonyango.
Wazalwa ngo-1963, uCheng, umongameli wenkampani yesayensi yebhayoloji kaRhulumente iCapitalBio Corp, usekela kwiNational People's Congress kunye nengcali yezemfundo kwiChinese Academy of Engineering.
NgoJanuwari 31, uCheng wafumana umnxeba ovela kuZhong Nanshan, ingcali edumileyo yezifo zokuphefumla, malunga namatyala amatsha e-coronavirus pneumonia, ngokutsho kwengxelo yeScience and Technology Daily.
UZhong wamxelela ngobunzima obukwizibhedlele malunga novavanyo lwe-nucleic acid.
Iimpawu ze-COVID-19 kunye nomkhuhlane ziyafana, nto leyo eye yenza uvavanyo oluchanekileyo lubaluleke nangakumbi.
Ukuchonga intsholongwane ngokukhawuleza ukuze kuhlukaniswe izigulane ukuze zifumane unyango olongezelelekileyo kwaye kuncitshiswe usulelo kubalulekile ekulawuleni ukuqhambuka kwesi sifo.
Enyanisweni, uCheng wayesele emisele iqela lophando lokuvavanya i-coronavirus entsha ngaphambi kokuba afumane umnxeba ovela kuZhong.
Ekuqaleni, uCheng wakhokela iqela elivela kwiYunivesithi yaseTsinghua kunye nenkampani ukuba bahlale elabhoratri imini nobusuku, esebenzisa yonke imizuzu ukwenza i-DNA chip entsha kunye nesixhobo sokuvavanya.
UCheng wayedla ngokutya iinoodles kwangoko ngexesha lesidlo sangokuhlwa. Wayesiza nemithwalo yakhe yonke imihla ukuze alungele ukuya “edabini” kwezinye izixeko.
“Kwasithatha iiveki ezimbini ukuphuhlisa iitships ze-DNA ze-SARS ngo-2003. Ngeli xesha, sichithe ixesha elingaphantsi kweveki,” utshilo uCheng.
“Ngaphandle kobutyebi bamava esiwaqokelele kwiminyaka edlulileyo kunye nenkxaso eqhubekayo evela kwilizwe kweli candelo, besingenakukwazi ukugqiba umsebenzi ngokukhawuleza kangaka.”
Itshiphusi eyayisetyenziselwa ukuvavanya intsholongwane ye-SARS yayifuna iiyure ezintandathu ukuze kufunyanwe iziphumo. Ngoku, itshiphusi entsha yenkampani inokuvavanya iintsholongwane zokuphefumla ezili-19 ngexesha elinye kwiyure enye enesiqingatha.
Nangona iqela lifinyezile ixesha lophando nophuhliso lwetshiphusi kunye nesixhobo sokuvavanya, inkqubo yokuvunywa ayizange ibe lula kwaye ukuchaneka akuzange kuncitshiswe konke konke.
UCheng uqhagamshelane nezibhedlele ezine ukuze enze uvavanyo lweklinikhi, ngelixa umgangatho woshishino ungowesithathu.
“Sizolile kakhulu kunangaphambili, sijongene nobhubhane,” utshilo uCheng. “Xa kuthelekiswa nowama-2003, ukusebenza kakuhle kophando lwethu, umgangatho wemveliso kunye namandla okuvelisa zonke ziphucuke kakhulu.”
Ngomhla wama-22 kuFebruwari, ikhithi eyenziwe liqela yavunywa yiNational Medical Products Administration yaza yasetyenziswa ngokukhawuleza kumgca ongaphambili.
Ngomhla wesi-2 kweyoKwindla, uMongameli uXi Jinping wahlola iBeijing ukuze ajonge ulawulo lobhubhane kunye nokuthintela ngokwesayensi. UCheng wanika ingxelo yemizuzu engama-20 malunga nokusetyenziswa kwetekhnoloji entsha ekuthinteleni ubhubhane kunye nempumelelo yophando lweekhithi zokufumanisa intsholongwane.
Yasekwa ngo-2000, inkampani ephambili yeCapitalBio Corp encedisayo iCapitalBio Technology yayikwindawo yoPhuhliso lwezoQoqosho-lweTekhnoloji yaseBeijing, okanye eBeijing E-Town.
Malunga neenkampani ezingama-30 kulo mmandla ziye zathatha inxaxheba ngokuthe ngqo kwidabi lokulwa nobhubhane ngokuphuhlisa nokuvelisa amaziko afana noomatshini bokuphefumla, iirobhothi zokuqokelela igazi, amashishini okucoca igazi, amaziko e-CT scan kunye namayeza.
Ngexesha leeseshoni ezimbini zalo nyaka, uCheng ucebise ukuba ilizwe likhawulezise ukusekwa kwenethiwekhi ekrelekrele kwizifo ezisulelayo ezinkulu ezisanda kuvela, enokudlulisela ulwazi ngokukhawuleza malunga nobhubhane kunye nezigulana kwiingcali.
