UCheng Jing, usosayensi onethimba lakhe elakha “i-chip” yokuqala ye-DNA yaseShayina ukuthola i-SARS eminyakeni eyi-17 eyedlule, unegalelo elikhulu empini yokulwa nokuqubuka kwe-COVID-19.
Esikhathini esingaphansi kwesonto elilodwa, wahola ithimba lokuthuthukisa ikhithi elalingakwazi ukuthola ngasikhathi sinye amagciwane okuphefumula ayisithupha, okuhlanganisa ne-COVID-19, futhi lihlangabezane nezidingo eziphuthumayo zokuxilongwa kwezokwelapha.
Wazalwa ngo-1963, uCheng, umongameli wenkampani yesayensi yezinto eziphilayo ephethwe nguhulumeni iCapitalBio Corp, uyisekela leNational People's Congress kanye nesazi se-Chinese Academy of Engineering.
NgoJanuwari 31, uCheng wathola ucingo oluvela kuZhong Nanshan, uchwepheshe ovelele wezifo zokuphefumula, mayelana namacala amasha e-coronavirus pneumonia, ngokusho kombiko we-Science and Technology Daily.
UZhong wamtshela ngobunzima obusezibhedlela mayelana nokuhlolwa kwe-nucleic acid.
Izimpawu ze-COVID-19 kanye nomkhuhlane ziyafana, okwenze ukuhlolwa okunembile kwaba kubaluleke nakakhulu.
Ukuhlonza igciwane ngokushesha ukuze kuhlukaniswe iziguli ukuze zithole ukwelashwa okwengeziwe futhi kuncishiswe ukutheleleka kubalulekile ekulawuleni ukuqubuka kwalesi sifo.
Eqinisweni, uCheng wayesevele esungule ithimba lokucwaninga ngokuhlolwa kwe-coronavirus entsha ngaphambi kokuba athole ucingo oluvela kuZhong.
Ekuqaleni, uCheng wahola ithimba laseTsinghua University kanye nenkampani ukuthi bahlale elabhorethri imini nobusuku, esebenzisa ngokugcwele yonke iminithi ukuthuthukisa i-DNA chip entsha kanye nedivayisi yokuhlola.
UCheng wayevame ukudla ama-noodle asheshayo ngesikhathi sokudla kwakusihlwa. Wayeletha imithwalo yakhe nsuku zonke ukuze alungele ukuya “empini” kwamanye amadolobha.
“Kwasithatha amasonto amabili ukuthuthukisa ama-DNA chips e-SARS ngo-2003. Kulokhu, sichithe isikhathi esingaphansi kwesonto,” kusho uCheng.
"Ngaphandle kwengcebo yolwazi esiluqoqe eminyakeni edlule kanye nokusekelwa okuqhubekayo okuvela ezweni kulo mkhakha, besingeke siqede umsebenzi ngokushesha kangaka."
I-chip eyasetshenziswa ukuhlola igciwane le-SARS yadinga amahora ayisithupha ukuthola imiphumela. Manje, i-chip entsha yenkampani ingahlola amagciwane okuphefumula ayi-19 ngesikhathi esisodwa ngaphakathi kwehora nesigamu.
Ngisho noma ithimba lifinyeze isikhathi sokucwaninga nokuthuthukisa i-chip kanye nedivayisi yokuhlola, inqubo yokugunyaza ayizange ibe lula futhi ukunemba akuzange kuncishiswe nhlobo.
UCheng uxhumane nezibhedlela ezine ukuze athole izivivinyo zemitholampilo, kanti izinga lemboni liyizintathu.
“Sizolile kakhulu kunangesikhathi esidlule, sibhekene nobhubhane,” kusho uCheng. “Uma kuqhathaniswa no-2003, ukusebenza kahle kocwaningo lwethu, ikhwalithi yomkhiqizo kanye namandla okukhiqiza konke kuthuthuke kakhulu.”
Ngomhlaka-22 kuNhlolanja, ikhithi eyasungulwa yithimba yavunywa yi-National Medical Products Administration futhi yasetshenziswa ngokushesha emgqeni wokuqala.
NgoMashi 2, uMongameli uXi Jinping wahlola iBeijing ukulawula ubhubhane kanye nokuvimbela kwesayensi. UCheng wanikeza umbiko wemizuzu engama-20 mayelana nokusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe obusha ekuvimbeleni ubhubhane kanye nempumelelo yocwaningo lwemishini yokuthola igciwane.
Yasungulwa ngo-2000, inkampani eyinhloko ye-CapitalBio Corp engaphansi kwe-CapitalBio Technology yayitholakala e-Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, noma e-Beijing E-Town.
Izinkampani ezingaba ngu-30 endaweni zihlanganyele ngqo empini yokulwa nalolu bhubhane ngokuthuthukisa nokukhiqiza izikhungo ezifana nemishini yokuphefumula, amarobhothi okuqoqa igazi, imishini yokuhlanza igazi, izikhungo ze-CT scan kanye nemithi.
Phakathi nemihlangano emibili yalo nyaka, uCheng uphakamise ukuthi izwe lisheshise ukusungulwa kwenethiwekhi ehlakaniphile yezifo ezithathelwanayo ezinkulu ezisanda kuvela, engadlulisela ngokushesha ulwazi mayelana nobhubhane kanye neziguli eziphathimandleni.
Isikhathi sokuthunyelwe: Juni-12-2020
