The chief culprit of this SARS epidemic is a new variant of coronavirus. Scientists have experienced great twists and turns in their understanding and final confirmation of it. As an excellent disinfectant, ozone has never had a chance to meet the SARS virus, but experts and scholars in the ozone industry generally believe that ozone will definitely have an effect on the SARS virus. Due to the lack of first-hand experimental data, we can only speculate theoretically.
Recently, Professor Li Zelin, an expert from the Technical Committee of China Ozone Industry Federation and director of "National P3 Laboratory", presided over the experiment of inactivating SARS virus with ozone. In the experiment, the comprehensive inactivation rate of green monkey kidney cells inoculated with SARS virus was 99.22%. After three repeated experiments, the inactivation efficiency was very high and it was a complete success.
According to the China Ozone Industry Federation's search to the International Ozone Association, this experiment of using ozone to inactivate SARS virus is the first in the world. It not only provides the scientific basis for the society to effectively kill SARS virus with ozone, but also has an impact on the development of ozone industry in China and even the world. More importantly, consumers can safely use ozone products to kill SARS virus. The comparative experiment completed by china environmental science Research Institute in the same period proves that the ozone used this time completely meets the requirements of environmental safety.
As an efficient broad-spectrum bactericide and oxidation solvent, ozone has been gradually recognized by medical scientists and technicians. The great potential medical value of ozone will certainly bring new disinfection, sterilization and treatment space to the medical community.
Ozone treatment of cervical and lumbar disc herniation project
Feasibility report Disc herniation is a common and frequently-occurring disease. Research data at home and abroad show that 50-60% people have had low back and leg pain at different times in their lives, and about 20% of patients with low back and leg pain in outpatient clinics are lumbar disc herniation. It is estimated that the number of patients with lumbar disc herniation in China should be more than tens of millions, and the number of new cases is about 3 million every year. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is conservative treatment, including physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and so on. , and then added a small needle knife and sacral canal injection. Although it has a certain curative effect, it is not easy to consolidate and the symptoms are easy to recur. Although surgery is a radical method, it will destroy human tissues, slow recovery after surgery, and patients need to bear the pain and risk of surgery, and the cost of surgery is high. Complications such as iatrogenic trauma and postoperative adhesion in surgical treatment are puzzling both scholars and clinicians.
Since 1960s, minimally invasive therapy has been introduced to treat disc herniation, including early injection of papain and collagenase, percutaneous clamping of nucleus pulposus in Japan in 1970s, cutting aspiration and laser ablation in the United States in 1980s, which greatly developed minimally invasive therapy. A new treatment method: injecting ozone into intervertebral disc and paravertebral space, which was developed in Italy in the 1990s, has an effective rate of 70-80% and has been widely used in European countries. At present, many hospitals in China have received ozone minimally invasive injection, such as Guangzhou Nanfang Hospital; Beijing 30 1 Hospital; Shenzhen Pok Oi Hospital; Shandong Provincial Hospital; Zibo First Hospital; The Central Hospital of Shengli Oilfield has used imported and domestic equipment to perform thousands of cases of ozone injection dissolution, and achieved good results. Compared with traditional methods, this treatment method has the advantages of convenient operation, little or no trauma, high efficiency, quick recovery and few complications, which is welcomed by patients and has aroused great enthusiasm and attention of interventional radiologists. The popularization and application of this technology will make a large number of patients with disc herniation receive this technology treatment. According to the existing data, there are two main causes of low back and leg pain caused by disc herniation: neuromechanical compression, aseptic inflammation of nerve roots, nerve root malnutrition and impaired nerve root conductivity.
Ozone has a strong oxidizing ability. Injecting it into the nucleus pulposus of a prominent intervertebral disc can instantly oxidize proteoglycan in the nucleus pulposus, destroy nucleus pulposus cells, make the function of proteoglycan lose, reduce the proteoglycan produced by cells, and the osmotic pressure of nucleus pulposus tissue can not be maintained, resulting in dehydration and atrophy, thus reducing the pressure in the intervertebral disc and eliminating symptoms, thus achieving the purpose of treatment.
At the same time, ozone has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, and can eliminate aseptic inflammation of nerve roots, thus achieving a fundamental cure effect. Ozone therapy not only has the same advantages as other minimally invasive treatments for disc herniation, but also has its unique advantages:
Absolutely safe, there is no medical accident in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation with ozone at home and abroad.
Minimally invasive, almost equal to non-invasive
Simple operation.
It can not only shrink the protruding spinal cord, but also eliminate aseptic inflammation of nerve root.
There were no obvious complications after operation.
Indications of ozone therapy in the treatment of disc herniation
Swelling and mild to moderate protrusion with symptoms of root compression.
Clinical symptoms are obvious, including persistent low back pain, claudication and so on.
Positive signs of spinal nerve compression or abnormal skin sensation, such as positive straight leg elevation test.
After more than four weeks of conservative treatment, the effect is not good.
It was diagnosed as inclusive or simple disc herniation or protrusion by CT or magnetic resonance imaging, and the imaging findings were consistent with clinical symptoms and signs.
Surgical treatment or other minimally invasive treatment of intervertebral discs is not effective.
The low back pain that has been treated conservatively but not cured for a long time has no obvious symptoms of nerve compression, but it has been confirmed by imaging that there are planar disc lesions (such as disc herniation), and other reasons are excluded. economic benefits
Ozone therapy is used to treat disc herniation without hospitalization after treatment, which makes the therapy easy to be accepted by patients. At present, ozone therapy costs about 2500 ~ 3800 yuan per case in China. Based on the equipment investment, the investment cost can be recovered in about 3 to 5 months after treating 150 ~ 250 patients, and the profit in that year can reach more than 500,000 yuan.
It can be seen that ozone therapy for the treatment of disc herniation will bring high economic benefits to users.
Social welfare
Ozone therapy is the most advanced treatment method in Europe at present, and it is almost blank in China at present. The introduction of world-advanced equipment and treatment methods will greatly enhance the image of the unit, help users to carry out international academic exchange activities in related fields, and make users occupy a higher position in the discipline.
