Biography

Zeng Yi, male, Han nationality, is a native of Jiexi, Guangdong Province. He graduated from Shanghai Medical College in 1952.

Since the early 1970s Zeng Yi has researched the relationship of the EB virus and nasopharynx cancer, established a series of serum diagnosis methods for nasopharynx cancer, and , increased the diagnosis rate of nasopharynx cancer at the early stage from 20-30% to 80-90%. His serum index could predict the occurrence possibility of nasopharynx cancer 5 to 10 years in advance.

Yi was also the first to establish the cell plant for nasopharynx cancer from high differentiation and low differentiation because all of these cell plants had DNV and albumen of EB virus. He discovered Chinese herbal medicines, carcinogens in plants and foods in areas with a high incidence of nasopharynx cancer. He also discovered that certain oxygen bacillus on human nasopharynx parts could produce butyric acid. Yi discovered genes chained with HLA that tended to be infected by nasopharynx cancer and was the first in the world to prove under cooperative function of carcinogen TPA and butyric acid that the human fetus mucous membrane in parts infected by EB virus could induced human nasopharynx cancer in rats. This was direct evidence that the EB virus could induce nasopharynx cancer and at the same time provided models for multiple factors of nasopharynx cancer pathogens and functional mechanism.

Since 1984 Yi has conducted research on HIV and AIDS and proved the introduction of HIV into China. He separated the first Chinese HIV-1 noxious plant in 1987 and established the rap diagnosis method for HIV. Yi also discovered that some Chinese herbal medicines had a relatively high probability of prohibiting copies of HIV.
