The new pneumonia coronavirus epidemic in Hong Kong continues. The Chinese University of Hong Kong has found that the intestinal microecology is closely related to the severity of the disease.

The Faculty of Medicine of CUHK followed up on the condition of 30 Hong Kong patients with new coronary pneumonia 6 months after the infection, and found that 80% of them continued to suffer from sequelae such as poor memory, insomnia, dyspnea and hair loss.

CUHK also found that patients with COVID-19 have more "bad bacteria" in their intestines, and they lack beneficial bacteria that can regulate immunity.

Even if the patient recovers and is discharged from the hospital, the intestinal microecological imbalance will continue, resulting in a decline in immunity, which is closely related to the "long-term new crown".

The research team believes that if the intestinal microbiota is improved, resistance can be enhanced and it is believed that it can reduce the risk of contracting new coronary pneumonia.

It is recommended that the public avoid eating foods with a large amount of additives, sugar substitutes and unnecessary antibiotics to maintain the intestinal micro-ecology and enhance resistance.

Thirty percent of the 30 survivors who have followed up have symptoms such as fatigue, poor memory, insomnia, dyspnea, and hair loss



. The research team of the Faculty of Medicine of CUHK

followed up with 30 COVID-19 patients who were

hospitalized between February and April 2020, of which 30 % Of patients have chronic illnesses and 76.7% have taken antiviral drugs.

It was found that 80% of the patients still had symptoms such as fatigue, poor memory, insomnia, dyspnea and hair loss, and one third of the respondents had more than three symptoms.

Mak Wing-hin, assistant professor of gastroenterology and liver in the Department of Internal Medicine and Drug Therapy of the Faculty of Medicine, CUHK, said that even more patients have difficulty in breathing exercises such as hiking before illness.

In addition, the team collected stool and blood samples from 100 patients with new coronary pneumonia in Hong Kong from February to May last year. Among them, 41 provided multiple stool samples during hospitalization. Of these, 27 people still had fecal samples 30 days after the virus was cleared. Provide samples; the team also compared samples provided by 78 people who were not infected with COVID-19.

The continuous imbalance of the intestinal microecology will lead to the "new crown" state. The



results found that compared with people without infection, patients with new crown have more "bad bacteria" in the intestines, such as active rumen cocci, rumen twisted streptococcus, etc.; Known "good bacteria" that can regulate immunity, such as Clostridium prasectus, Eubacterium eubacteria, etc., among which Clostridium prasectus is related to the severity of new coronary pneumonia.

Professor Huang Xiujuan, deputy director of the Gut Microbiota Research Center of the Faculty of Medicine, CUHK, pointed out that if there are more "good bacteria", there will be less inflammation.

If the patient's intestinal microbiota is out of balance, the inflammation index increases, or a "cytokine storm" is triggered.

She also said that 30 days after the patient's virus was cleared, the level of "good bacteria" was still low. It is believed that the continued imbalance of the intestinal microecology may lead to a "long-term new crown" state.

To improve the intestinal



microbiota and

reduce the risk of infection should "start from the details"

, Chen Jialiang, dean of the Faculty of Medicine of CUHK and director of the Center for Intestinal Microbiota Research, said that earlier research indicated that 40% of Hong Kong people's intestinal microecological imbalances and the new crown The patient is similar, describing the situation as worrying.

He advised the public to avoid eating foods with large amounts of additives, sugar substitutes and unnecessary antibiotics, because they will destroy the intestinal microbiota; and aerobic exercise can also improve the intestinal microbiota.

He also pointed out that because some of the "good bacteria" have existed in the intestines since childhood, "children are more likely to improve imbalances than adults and the elderly, and we should start with details."

He also does not approve of people taking numb health products, because many "good bacteria" are difficult to get from their diet.

As for the treatment plan, Chen believes that a comprehensive treatment plan should not only eliminate the new coronavirus from the patient, but also restore the intestinal microecological balance to reduce the risk of "new crown".

A study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong found that intestinal microecology is closely related to the severity of the disease.
