The University of Hong Kong has designed a gene against influenza virus that can effectively prevent and treat the flu.
The University of Hong Kong announced that its microbiology experts have used viral genes and proteins to develop drugs that effectively inhibit influenza virus. According to reports, the research team spent more than three years to design influenza DIG3 (defective interference gene), which can effectively inhibit the growth of influenza virus in cells, and is not easy to produce drug resistance. In addition, the research team designed a new protein called TAT-P1 as a gene carrier, which can not only introduce DIG3 into the cell to inhibit the growth of the virus, but also inhibit the virus replication by inhibiting the acidification of the cell endosomes, and exert a dual antiviral effect.
Researchers at the University of Hong Kong found that injecting DIG3/TAT-P1 into the respiratory tract of mice one or two days before the laboratory mice were infected with H1N1 human influenza virus or H7N7 avian influenza virus or 6 hours after infection, it could effectively improve the survival rate of mice. Inhibits the growth of the virus in the lungs of mice. This shows that DIG3/TAT-P1 can effectively prevent and treat influenza.

How to prevent flu from pregnant women should pay more attention to these ten points
How do pregnant women prevent flu?
Influenza is a respiratory infection caused by a virus. The unique immune tolerance during pregnancy makes pregnant women less resistant to disease than the general population and is susceptible to influenza. Pregnant women with flu have a higher incidence of complications than the general population. Due to limited medication during pregnancy, the flu can sometimes not be controlled in time.
The measures for pregnant women to prevent influenza are as follows:
1. Pregnant women should try to avoid crowded, prosperous and crowded public places. On the one hand, the air in these places is not fresh and affects the oxygen supply of the fetus. On the other hand, the density of pathogenic microorganisms in public places is much higher than other areas, especially in the flu. During the prevailing period, and the pregnant women's resistance is poor, it is easy to spread the disease.
2. Wear a mask when going out, usually use a light salt water to gargle, indoors should pay attention to air circulation, keep clean, such as patients with influenza around the room should be given indoor air disinfection.
3. Life is regular, not too tired, should ensure that sleep is about 10 hours a day, diet diversification, not partial eclipse, try to do a small amount of meals.
4. Enhance physical exercise, do more outdoor activities, more sun, enhance their disease resistance.
5. Air conditioning ventilation, can not replace the window, should allow fresh air to enter the room continuously, should be ventilated after nap and before going to bed. In addition, it is necessary to open the window to change the air after the sun comes out. If the sun has not come out to open the window for ventilation, the outdoor carbon dioxide concentration is higher, which is not good for pregnant women. If the air pollution index is large, it is not conducive to ventilation and ventilation, and the air freshener can be used.
6. When the expectant mother is cold, or feels like a cold, drink a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger water, and then sleep beautifully. Raw garlic, raw onions, medicine, raw garlic, raw onions are a good way to prevent colds. Allicin capsules are extracted from garlic. Garlic not only has the effect of preventing colds, but also inhibits intestinal pathogens.
7. Every morning after getting up and washing, use salt water to gargle, and then drink half a cup of boiled water, not only can prevent colds, but also good for the health of the gums, because the gums during pregnancy are congested, susceptible to gingivitis.
8. Wash your face with cold water in the morning to enhance your ability to resist colds. Wash your face with warm water at night to avoid drowsiness due to cold stimulation.
9. The winter air humidity is low, especially in the north, indoor heating with more heating, the air is very dry, dry air is conducive to the accumulation of virus in the respiratory tract. A humidifier can be used to maintain a suitable humidity in the room.
Pregnant women should also pay attention to diet when preventing influenza
1. Eat more zinc-containing food
In the absence of zinc, the respiratory defense function is reduced. Pregnant women need to consume more zinc-containing foods than usual. Seafoods such as seafood, lean meat, peanuts, sunflower seeds and beans are rich in zinc.
2. Eat more foods containing vitamin C
Vitamin C is a scavenger for harmful substances in the body, and it also has the function of improving ciliary movement and defense of the respiratory tract. It is recommended to eat more foods rich in vitamin C or vitamin C tablets, such as tomatoes, cauliflower, green peppers, citrus, strawberries, kiwi, watermelon, grapes and so on. Vitamin C will be lost in a large amount during heating, and care should be taken when cooking.

How to prevent baby flu in the spring
Spring is here, the weather is changeable, the climate is uncertain, and parents are not well controlled by their children's clothing. Therefore, it is easy to cause a cold. And spring is the high incidence of flu. Therefore, for parents, be sure to master some ways to prevent your baby from getting the flu before spring comes. This will keep your baby away from colds, away from the flu, and grow up healthily.
1. Vaccination
This is a more effective means. Generally, when the flu is in high incidence, there will be regular medical institutions to carry out rug-based vaccination for children. If parents are worried that their baby will also get the flu, they can get a good vaccine in advance, and it is best to prevent it. But parents should remember that vaccination is just to prevent the influenza virus, but it can't prevent the common cold.
2. Wash your hands and get used to it
For the baby, it is necessary to develop a good habit of washing hands. At this point, parents should pay attention to the ability and habits of children in this aspect. Especially before and after meals, or after returning home after playing outside, you must wash your hands before you can take food.

How to prevent influenza, what should you pay attention to?
Every season of season change is also the period of frequent influenza, especially for teenagers and the elderly. Because this group of people has relatively low resistance, can you reduce the chance of influenza by yourself? I hope to help you in the way of avoiding influenza in your daily life.
1. Personal hygiene plays a key role in the prevention of influenza. The flu virus can easily be infected by touching the surface of the mouth with the virus and touching the nose and mouth. Half of the flu is caused by contact with the hands. Therefore, it is very important to wash your hands and keep your hands clean. Try to avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands. In addition, wash your hands with soap to wash carefully, and the time should be as long as possible. The other is to wear a mask when going out. Although wearing a mask can not completely block the virus, it is currently one of the best ways to reduce the infection, at least let us inhale some of the virus floating in the air.
