感冒误区及攻略（Cold misunderstanding and strategy） Ancient medicine China think the flu is caused by pathogenic wind from the nose and mouth, take advantage of a weak point. Some people think that wind evil is equivalent to the virus, but even so, this statement also mistaken the way cold viruses enter the body. The cold virus does not enter the body through its fur or mouth, and its entrance is the nasal cavity (sometimes from the eye, but also through the nasolacrimal duct). The nasal mucosa has cilia, and these cilia move back and forth, and send the stick to the nasopharynx. The virus entering the nasal cavity is thus transmitted to the lymphatic tissue at the back of the nasal cavity - the adenoids. The surface of an adenoid cell has a receptor called intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM). The receptor has a ligand that binds it, but the cold virus acts as a ligand for ICAM and binds to the ICAM, allowing ICAM to send it into the cell. When a cold virus enters adenoids, the cells are hijacked and a large number of viruses are replicated using intracellular equipment. The infected cells eventually die and rupture, releasing new copies of the virus to infect other cells. A cold virus can be very infectious, and a small amount of cold virus (1~30 cold virus particles) can cause infection, and once the cold virus enters the nasal cavity, 95% of the population will be infected. Cold symptoms usually appear 2~5 days after the virus infection. The cells infected by the cold virus account for only a small percentage of the nasal cells and are very harmful to the mucous membranes of the nose. The symptoms of colds are not primarily caused by viruses, but by the bodys immune system. The cold virus infections of the nose cells, the immune system will find the intruder, like any other intruders to respond, known as the release of many bioactive substances such as inflammatory mediators, histamine, bradykinin, prostaglandin and so on. These inflammatory mediators cause vasodilati
