Needle cases occurred in the city of Urumqi, the state sent People's Liberation Army General Logistics Department of Military Medical Sciences Medical Expert Group on pins and needles in patients with disease were detected and analyzed, the basic rule of radioactive substances, toxic chemicals, HIV and botulism, anthrax and other potent pathogen microbial infection may be.

The basic rule of potent pathogenic microorganism infection

Disease Control's Office of Military Medical Sciences, bio-security office researcher, director of Qian Jun, said: "We are through the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi General Hospital of Lanzhou Military Region admissions of 217 cases of symptomatic treatment readme systematic analysis of cases, while of 22 patients with Health Department, General Hospital, there are obvious symptoms that a systematic detection of cases, including radioactive and biological review of some fast from the current detection point of view, our preliminary conclusion is that the basic rule of radioactive substances, toxic chemicals as well as botulism, anthrax and other pathogenic microbial infection may be potent. but they still had to conduct further laboratory tests to confirm the work of the relevant evidence to obtain articles have been sent to Beijing today, 19 o'clock, is night testing, test results will be at the right time to We announced. "

"We know that deadly infectious diseases such as anthrax infection in the future, people will be some symptoms, the first may have a fever, the second part of infection would be redness, heat pain phenomena, In addition, the blood will change item or that there is specificity antibodies. we have observed from the view of these cases, little or no fever, blood items are normal, post-test found no antibodies, so we can basically rule out the needles used in acupuncture, there are potent pathogenic micro-organisms. "Military Medical Sciences researcher at the Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology, the military microbiological inspection and research center, pathogenic micro-organisms State Key Laboratory of Bio-safety researcher, said side green.

Did not find any radioactive substance

2 Fellow of Military Medical Sciences, director of the army testing center on Radiological Protection, the State members of the Group disposal of nuclear terrorist incident, the State members of the Group disposed of public health emergencies Yang Shan said: "Within two days, I was probably 30 or Readme Hospitals that have been victims of a radiological detection of acupuncture, but also to the public security authorities seized a number of tools, samples were tested. by detecting, I did not find any radioactive material in this incident was used. Therefore, I view is that the human body with radioactive material should be said that the possibility of harm does not exist. "

To overcome the psychological factors do not have to panic

307 of Military Medical Sciences affiliated hospitals, the army Poisoning Center, Chief Physician, Wang said: "We consultation found that most patients are due to psychological factors come to clinic, which is medically known as 'psychogenic' causes big Some have been victims of acupuncture is not unusual to see the signs and symptoms, some patients do have certain signs and symptoms, but indications of life, clinical manifestations and signs are very stable, so I think that we should not panic. "

Highly toxic chemicals can basically rule out the

Of Military Medical Sciences researcher at the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, the military director of Toxicology Testing Center, the United Nations OPCW designated laboratory director Xie Jian-wei, said: "Under the current situation, highly toxic chemicals, can be completely ruled out as a needle to use. Another one from the chemical point of view, if the case of very large doses can also cause some damage, but for now, this is also possible to exclude the use of high doses, so that the use of toxic chemicals cause harm is a basic can be excluded. "

HIV infection is almost impossible to

Of Military Medical Sciences Institute of Epidemiology, the military LI Jing-yun, director of AIDS testing center, said: "HIV must have a condition that a large number of high-titer virus directly into the human body. Our country has had many medical personnel from As the working relationship, treatment, care for AIDS patients, was the blood of patients with AIDS and needlestick injury, or surgery has been scratched, but no case of infection occurred, we can see a very small chance of infection. From now on Urumqi Needlestick victims those circumstances, none of the cases belonging to such a situation, are very small needle, it is shallow and without a clear acupuncture was bloody injuries. According to this analysis, I think this is the way to become infected with nearly is not possible. "
