　　The technology invented by Jufeel Bio Group jointly with Zhejiang University, which is named the Application of Natural Plant Extracts on Improving Intracranial Auto-immunization and Protecting Injured Neurons of Cerebral Stroke Patients, won the Gold Award of Medical Health in this exhibition. The technology can improve the rehabilitation effects on brain atrophy and cerebral degeneration with no clinically observed side effects. The inventors of this technology are Professor Zhang Rongxuan, who is the chief biological scientist of Jufeel Biology and the School of Life Science of Changzhou University, and specially-appointed chief medical scientist, Professor Yan Weiqi.

　　Professor Yan points out that cerebral stroke is a kind of disease with extremely high mortality and disability rate in China and there have been no effective drugs so far; therefore it is very important to improve intracranial auto-immunization activity and protect injured neurons against hypoxia-ischemia. According to WHO materials, there is one patient suffering from cerebral stroke every six seconds in the world and most of them become disabled due to this disease. Therefore this technology has a tremendous scientific significance and social demand.
