A new mode of renovation of old residential areas in Guangzhou: renovation+operation, rejuvenation and "staying in the face" Recently, the first old residential area renovation design, construction and operation integration (EPCO) project in Guangzhou (15 old residential areas such as Huangshi Garden Community) completed the bidding work. This batch of projects will introduce social capital, invest and operate more than 300 sets of directly managed public houses in the residential area, and promote the introduction of properties in non-property residential areas. In the future, the neighborhood will not only gain a better residential environment and better living facilities, but also welcome young new neighbors and property management companies to realize the effective use of idle public houses and the long-term maintenance of renovation results. Before the renovation, the design effect diagram of the leisure and entertainment area is more in line with the operational requirements. The renovation project of this tender is EPCO integration mode for a long time, which is the first mode adopted in the renovation of old residential areas in Guangzhou. "In the past, the transformation was usually EPC, that is, the general contracting of design and construction. When the project is completed, it will be over. If the community without property is not well managed, the transformation results will be difficult to maintain. This project has added O-operation, and the transformation is only the beginning. It is also necessary to introduce the property and be responsible for the subsequent operation and maintenance. " The relevant staff of the Housing and Construction Bureau of Baiyun District said, "This means that the winning bidder will think about transformation from the whole life cycle, and the design scheme will be more in line with the needs of operation, and it will be’ once transformed and maintained for a long time’." The reporter learned that the consortium dominated by Vision Group won the bid for the project. This "cross-river dragon" enterprise is the first in the country to explore the market-oriented model of the transformation of old communities, because it is built.Beijing’s "Jinsong model" is widely known for its "leading by Party building, guiding by public opinion, sustained meager profit and integration of reform and management". Since the beginning of this year, the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau has issued supporting policies such as "Trial Measures for Introducing Social Capital to Participate in the Renovation of Old Urban Residential Areas in Guangzhou" and "Implementation Measures for the Activation and Utilization of Existing Buildings in Old Urban Residential Areas in Guangzhou", clarifying that social capital can participate in the implementation of investment, design, construction, operation and maintenance of old residential area renovation projects in a whole chain or in stages. Social capital can participate in the operation of stock resources in old residential areas according to the actual situation of the project, and activate and utilize stock resources such as public houses, public inefficient idle land, motor vehicle parking spaces and public advertising spaces, and encourage the integration of relevant state-owned enterprise properties and private properties, and jointly transform and upgrade and manage them in pieces. By introducing social capital to fill the shortcomings of people’s livelihood in the community, we encourage and guide the existing buildings to be activated and utilized according to the positive list, give priority to increasing public services and municipal public facilities, appropriately increase convenience commercial facilities, enrich community supply, and improve the living quality of the community and the vitality of the block. The design renderings of the carport before the renovation introduced social capital to lease idle public houses and transform them into youth apartments. The tender announcement mentioned that the batch of projects involved 15 old communities including Huangshi Garden, Provincial Medical Dormitory, Dongfang Community, Yijingju and Metallurgical Community.The renovation contents include, but are not limited to, the protection and custody of tree resources within the renovation scope, the rain and sewage diversion renovation of some residential areas, the third-line renovation of public areas in residential buildings and the third-line renovation of public areas in residential areas, the renovation of the facade of the building body, and the addition (renovation) of non-motor vehicle charging piles. It is worth noting that the tender announcement calls for the integration and utilization of vacant public houses within the tender scope, investment and transformation of this part, so as to make assets meet the requirements of commercial operation, build youth apartments, and realize the development and utilization of idle resources and the socialized and sustainable operation of public houses. In addition, property management will be implemented for the residential areas that meet the takeover requirements within the scope of this tender, and a long-term management and maintenance mechanism for residential properties will be established. It is the first time in Guangzhou to introduce social capital to lease idle public houses and invest in transforming them into youth apartments in the transformation of old residential areas. "This part is invested by the society. After the renovation, the value of public houses will be improved. The rental income of enterprises will be put into operation, the resources of idle public houses in the community will be effectively utilized, the dilapidated environment will be improved, and fitness, reading rooms and coffee shops will be added. The vitality of the community will be much better." The relevant staff of the Baiyun District Housing and Construction Bureau said. The transformation and operation of public houses is a "hard bone" without much fat. If an enterprise operates with its own funds, it will generally take more than 10 years to recover its capital. According to the "Trial Measures for Introducing Social Capital to Participate in the Renovation of Old Urban Residential Areas in Guangzhou", the longest service period of social capital is 20 years, and a low-profit and sustainable operation mode is advocated. The integration of design, construction and operation bidding also adopts the idea of matching fat and thin, combining soft and hard, and solves the "hard bone"No one chews on the problem. The Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said that the implementation of the project will be solidly promoted, and the feasible path of market-oriented operation and long-term maintenance of old residential areas will be continuously explored and improved to help the city update and develop with high quality.

　　A Fang (a pseudonym) after 90 often feels tired. Last year, on the recommendation of a friend, an online consulting agency of nutrition collocation in personal tailor prepared some health products for him. "It’s a WeChat applet. It took a few minutes to do the questionnaire. According to the results, the platform gave me some health care products, including seaweed oil, vitamin E and other 5-minute pills." Five small pills a day, A Fang feels that the price is not expensive, and the first order can’t reach 700 yuan. Three months’ worth, and I haven’t finished eating for half a year. Although he didn’t see the effect of these nutritional supplements, he was psychologically satisfied.

　　A Fang’s friend left a message for the qianjiang evening news Hour reporter, trying to confirm whether this little pill is reliable or not. "Is this an IQ tax?"

　　Nutritionist’s statement:

　　The conclusion of the questionnaire is unscientific.

　　This online consulting organization of nutrition collocation in personal tailor takes WeChat as the main channel, carries out brand promotion through WeChat official account, and advertises in the circle of friends based on big data, and then uses the strong sociality of WeChat to push the brand to a wider audience. At the same time, it also opened up channels such as Tik Tok, Xiaohongshu and Tmall to capture the youth market.

　　The founder of the agency mentioned in an interview with other media that "some people can’t keep eating vegetables and exercising every day. He must smoke, drink and eat fast food in his life, then we can recommend him to take some extra vitamins with the goal of making people healthier. "

　　The reporter also spent a few minutes making a questionnaire, including topics such as eating habits and lifestyle. The questions are many and detailed, and some are indeed subjective.

　　Finally, the platform for reporter personal tailor’s plan requires five kinds of drugs, with a quantity of three months and a cost of more than 600 yuan.

　　Is the vitamin supplement obtained by this consultation reliable?

　　After reading the complete questionnaire, Lu Yanxuan, a nutritionist at the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University, said: "The questions involved in the questionnaire are quite reasonable, and there is no problem from the evaluation point of view, but the conclusions drawn through these questions are not enough evidence."

　　In other words, these surveys can’t determine what your body needs, and the conclusions drawn from them are too one-sided. For example, fatigue means that the body lacks some nutrients, which is unscientific.

　　In her view, as long as you follow the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (2022) issued by the China Nutrition Society on April 26th, 2022, you can achieve a balanced nutrition.

　　"Many health care products, including nutritional supplements, are controversial. Whether they can prevent and alleviate diseases, there is no direct and specific conclusion." Lu Yanxi said.

　　In fact, in the usual diet, nutrients are enough. For example, vitamin e exists in our usual cooking oil; Vitamin A can be taken from meat, eggs, milk and dark vegetables.

　　Just eat reasonably at ordinary times.

　　Special people should supplement nutrients.

　　Lu Yan-fung’s conclusion is that a reasonable diet can satisfy nutrition and maintain good health, and no additional supplements are recommended.

　　For example, too much calcium intake will interfere with the absorption of zinc and iron; Vitamins A and D are fat-soluble vitamins. If they are not easily metabolized, they may accumulate in the body and even have the risk of poisoning.

　　"The dosage standard in China is different from that in foreign countries, so foreign health care products may not be suitable for Chinese." She said that even the most harmless probiotics that can regulate the intestines, everyone has different reactions to it, so you can’t blindly follow suit.

　　But some special people really need to supplement nutrients, so they can eat some properly.

　　Pregnant women, nursing mothers, young children, the elderly, etc., due to the high demand for some nutrients in special physiological periods, should often consult nutritionists, nutrition experts or doctors (hospitals, health centers) to make reasonable nutritional conditioning to ensure the nutritional needs in special physiological periods.

　　The means of nutritional conditioning include diet, nutrient supplement, reasonable exercise and other measures.

　　On the whole, Lu Yan-fung suggested that you should not eat health care products to supplement nutrients at will, and a reasonable diet can fully meet the nutrition. If you really want to supplement it, you need to supplement it scientifically and effectively under the guidance of professional doctors.

We should pay special attention to the adverse effects that heavy snowfall may bring to production and life, and the elderly, children and people with weak physique should try to reduce going out during snowfall.

　　Changchun, China, March 11 (Reporter Guo Dongyu) How important is a good seed for food production?

　　"Good seeds, good rain and good moisture can make us look forward to a bumper harvest year." Han Fengxiang of Fenghuangshan Agricultural Machinery Farmers’ Professional Cooperative in Lishu County, Siping City, Jilin Province said.

　　"The contribution rate of excellent varieties to grain production has reached more than 45%, which plays a vital role in national food security." Zhang Zhijun, a researcher at the Corn Research Institute of Jilin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.

　　"I have a dream, buried in the soil, convinced that it is different. Light gives it hope, rain nourishes it and grows with the seeds. " Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, said.

　　This year, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee proposed that the seed industry should be revitalized in depth, the pace of industrialization of corn and soybean biological breeding should be accelerated, the pilot scope should be expanded in an orderly manner, and planting management should be standardized.

　　Recently, the reporter walked into Gongzhuling City, the founding unit of the National Modern Seed Industry Park and a national-level rice seed production county, to see how Jilin people on the black land grasped the "core" of grain.

　　Organic fertilizer "waits" for the next field (photo by Yang Guangwang)

　　In the more than 20,000 mu seed field of Hongxiang Seed Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hongxiang Seed Industry") in Gongzhuling City, the land has been turned over and the organic fertilizer has been piled up at the edge of the field. "This seed production base was transferred last year. We used the method of black land protection to produce seeds. After a year of practice, the seed quality is very good." He Wei, general manager of Hongxiang Seed Industry, said.

　　Walking into the seed cultivation room, a fresh new green brings ying ying spring. "This is our trial variety and we are testing the emergence rate." He Wei said, "The seedlings in this germination box grew the day before yesterday, and each leaf of them contains a lot of information, which is very important for us breeders." Here, enterprises invest about 50 million yuan in maize breeding every year. "We carefully selected the seeds and planted them in the experimental field. Through the growth and yield, we found those plants with less diseases, lodging resistance and high yield."

　　A piece of new green "nurtures" the hope of a bumper harvest (photo by Yang Guangwang)

　　In addition to constantly researching and developing new varieties, how to make seeds more suitable for modern agricultural production methods is a problem that the Corn Research Institute of Jilin Academy of Agricultural Sciences is currently thinking about.

　　"At present, one of the main problems in corn production is that the level of mechanized harvesting of seeds is low. At present, the harvesting method is mechanical harvesting of ears or manual harvesting, which is not conducive to large-scale production." Zhang Zhijun, a researcher at the Corn Research Institute of Jilin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.

　　In recent years, the corn research institute of Jilin Academy of Agricultural Sciences has taken the research and development of new varieties suitable for modern production methods as its main research goal. "At present, we have cultivated Jidan 66, Jidan 436, and Jidan 81 and 82, which will be approved soon. It can be said that grain harvesting is a strong support for Jilin agriculture to take the lead in realizing agricultural modernization in the future." Lu Ming, deputy director of the Corn Research Institute of Jilin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.

　　Document No.1 of Jilin Provincial Party Committee issued this year made it clear that it is necessary to implement the project of improving corn yield per unit area. Screening and popularizing new maize varieties with density tolerance, high resistance and high yield.

　　"Every seed we develop must first ensure safety and good resistance. No matter what kind of environment, it can grow. The second is high yield, which allows farmers to increase their output after planting. " He Wei said. Hongxiang Seed Industry plans to reach the production capacity of all four design production lines as planned before 2025, meeting the production demand of 100,000 mu. "In the future, we can serve the whole park, let the seed industry in Jilin Province come back and build a spring corn processing base."

　　It is the wish of Jilin breeders to cultivate a good seed and plant a good field, and it is also the road they will always stick to.

Frankly speaking, I think China’s economy will soon reach the speed of take-off. In terms of economic growth, 2023 will usher in a bumper year.

Vitol Gaspar, director of the Financial Affairs Department of the International Monetary Fund, said that China’s economy has maintained growth not only because it can adapt to the needs of development and carry out transformation, but also because it insists on the effective combination of expanding consumption and deepening supply-side structural reform.

Vitol Gaspar, Director of the Financial Affairs Department of the International Monetary Fund:I think that China has a very strong growth record in the past 45 years, and China has proved that rapid growth and development are extremely important, and it has indeed lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. With the continuous expansion of China’s scale in the world economy, it is very important for China to give priority to the growth of domestic resources, which shows Chinese’s intelligence.

　　On February 19th, thousands of anti-war activists in the United States held a rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Protesters demanded that the United States stop inciting the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and cut US military spending. The picture shows a protester holding a slogan to cut military spending to attend the rally.

　　Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Jieshe

　　The White House recently announced the fiscal year 2024 budget, and plans to allocate 842 billion US dollars for the US Department of Defense, which is the highest military budget ever proposed by the US government. In addition, the budget also plans to inject capital into defense-related projects in other departments.

　　Experts pointed out that the fundamental purpose of the high US military expenditure is to maintain hegemony. Supported by high military expenditure, the United States continues to disrupt the world and bring instability to the world. The uncertainty of the external environment has become the reason for the United States to further increase its military spending, which has led to the United States falling into the strange circle of "the higher the military spending, the less safe it is."

　　The highest military expenditure in peacetime

　　According to the news released on the website of the US Department of Defense, the US government’s 2024 budget proposed to allocate 842 billion US dollars for the Pentagon. This amount is $26 billion higher than the military budget for fiscal year 2023 proposed by the US government and $100 billion higher than that for fiscal year 2022.

　　"The US government’s military budget in 2024 hit a record high." Today, the Russian TV website reported that at present, the US military expenditure has exceeded the sum of the military expenditures of the nine countries ranked next.

　　Reuters reported that in addition to the $842 billion allocated to the U.S. Department of Defense, the new budget also plans to allocate $44 billion for defense-related projects of the FBI, the U.S. Department of Energy and other institutions, which will bring the total defense-related budget of the United States in fiscal year 2024 to $886 billion, which is the highest defense budget proposed by the U.S. government in peacetime.

　　The website of National Defense magazine reported that $886 billion is expected to account for 3.2% of the US GDP in 2024 and 47% of the US federal government’s discretionary expenditure.

　　American military spending has been the highest in the world for many years. According to the data of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in Sweden, during the 10 years from 2012 to 2021, the US military expenditure always ranked first in the world, accounting for 39% of the total global military expenditure in the past 10 years. In December 2022, the US House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2023, which stipulated that the US defense budget in 2023 was as high as 858 billion US dollars. This is the first time that US military expenditure has exceeded 800 billion US dollars.

　　McChord, Chief Financial Officer and Auditor-General of the US Department of Defense, recently told American media that the ratio of US military budget to GDP in 2024 is not the highest in history. The defense budget of the United States in the late Iraq war and Afghanistan war accounted for much more than 3.2% of GDP. He added that the US military expenditure during World War II once reached one third of GDP.

　　In order to maintain high military spending, the United States does not hesitate to empty its pockets. Recently, many foreign media have noticed that the financial health of the United States has declined. The national debt burden of the United States has now exceeded 31 trillion US dollars, far exceeding the total GDP of 25 trillion US dollars. According to the website of the US Defense News Weekly, Speaker of the US House of Representatives McCarthy promised to cut the federal budget by 130 billion US dollars to reduce the US debt burden, but neither the Senate nor the House of Representatives opposed the continued increase in military spending.

　　Reuters said that the US Congress will discuss the 2024 budget in the coming months. The US Congress may further increase military spending on the basis of the budget proposed by the White House.

　　"Still being false ‘ Hegemonic dream ’ Trapped "

　　According to the information published on the website of the White House, $842 billion includes $9.1 billion of targeted investment in the Pacific Deterrence Program of the US Department of Defense. The plan aims to strengthen the presence of the United States in the Pacific region. The new budget also proposes to provide $6 billion in aid to Ukraine. In addition, the new budget also stated that it would invest $2 billion to "make game-changing investments in the Indo-Pacific region".

　　In terms of weapons and equipment, the United States is also continuing to "burn money." Reuters said that the new budget proposed to invest a huge sum of US$ 145 billion in the weapons research and development program, specifically for developing long-range strike weapons such as hypersonic missiles and promoting the modernization of US military equipment.

　　The White House said in a statement that the 2024 military budget aims to "ensure American security" and strengthen cooperation with allies and partners to "meet urgent global challenges". Among them, "China" and "Russian" became the key words that frequently appeared in the statement.

　　"The fundamental purpose of the United States to maintain high military spending is to maintain its own hegemony." Yuan Zheng, deputy director and researcher of the American Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that the United States has always believed in the law of the jungle in the diplomatic field, believing that military power is an important pillar of American global hegemony, and firmly believes that if it wants to maintain its hegemonic position and enhance its so-called ability to intervene in international affairs, it must increase its investment in military spending.

　　"In recent years, the United States has returned its strategic focus to the so-called ‘ Competition among great powers ’ , regard China and Russian as the main ‘ Challenge ’ And ‘ Threat ’ , hope in the face of ‘ Strategic opponent ’ At the same time, it maintained a strong military deterrent, so it continued to increase military spending, which made the US military expenditure increase obviously. At the same time, the United States continued to provide military assistance to Ukraine, which led to the decline of ammunition stocks in the United States, and it was necessary to purchase more ammunition to make up for the vacancy, further pushing up US military expenditure. In addition, the inflation factor also has an impact on the rise of military spending. " Yuan Zheng said.

　　"In today’s world, from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Iranian nuclear issue to the South China Sea dispute, there are many conflicts and disputes behind the United States." Zhou Fangyin, vice president of Guangdong Institute of International Strategic Studies, said, "The United States has always regarded military hegemony as the core means to achieve strategic goals and hopes to seek other interests with military superiority. At the same time, the United States also hopes to enhance its allies’ confidence in the United States and maintain the US-led alliance system by increasing military investment. "

　　"The United States is still being falsely ‘ Hegemonic dream ’ Trapped. " Recently, Andrew Bacevic, an honorary professor of international relations and history at Boston University, published an article on the bimonthly website of American Diplomacy, saying that American foreign policy agencies insist that the world needs more American military forces, and the fiasco of the Iraq war and the Afghan war has not stopped the United States from "betting" on military operations. For decades, America’s military misjudgment has wasted a lot of American wealth and sacrificed the lives of thousands of Americans. According to Brown University’s "War Cost Accounting" project, since the "September 11th" incident, the United States has spent about $8 trillion on global military operations, and the costs of these military operations far outweigh the gains.

　　American military spending remains high, and there is a military-industrial complex behind it. Reuters reported that the 2024 budget of the United States was the first budget that explicitly proposed to sign long-term contracts with American arms dealers for the procurement of missiles and other ammunition. In the past, such long-term contracts were only used for the purchase of aircraft and ships. According to the report, the new budget will benefit major US arms dealers such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Lockdyne, Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics.

　　Zhou Fangyin said that the military-industrial complex composed of the US military, arms dealers, politicians and think tanks has strong political influence in the United States. In recent years, despite the economic downturn, increasing financial difficulties, and unhealthy government revenue and expenditure, the United States has maintained high military expenditures, which has already damaged the economic growth and competitiveness of the United States. However, due to the lobbying and encouragement of the military-industrial complex, the US government refused to cut military spending even if it cut other expenditures.

　　"There has always been a call to cut military spending in the United States, but in the end it often ends in vain. Obviously, there are huge interest groups behind it." Zhou Fangyin said.

　　A dangerous signal.

　　High military expenditure continues to support the US overseas military operations. Some American media found that from 1798 to 2022, the United States launched 469 military activities overseas, and only 251 times in the short period of more than 30 years since the end of the Cold War, far exceeding the sum of more than 190 years before the end of the Cold War. The targets of these military operations involve most countries in the world.

　　Stimulated by the new round of high military expenditure, the US military plan is more active. According to the website of the US Defense News Weekly, the funds allocated to the US Department of Energy in the new US budget in 2024 will provide a "strong technical and engineering foundation" for the trilateral security partnership between the United States, Britain and Australia. A few days ago, the United States, Britain and Australia just announced a new nuclear submarine cooperation plan, and the nuclear proliferation behavior of the three countries has taken another dangerous step.

　　Yuan Zheng said that the United States believes in force and is obsessed with increasing military spending and enhancing its ability to intervene abroad. This concept violates the purposes of the UN Charter and the basic norms of international relations based on international law, and runs counter to the trend of world peace and development. At present, on the basis of its strong military strength, the United States is still increasing its expenditure on weapons research and development and procurement, and promoting the modernization of its military equipment, which is a dangerous signal to other countries. This move will stimulate the arms race, aggravate international tensions and undermine the global strategic balance.

　　"The United States has greatly increased its military spending, which has also made the relationship between major powers even more tense." Yuan Zheng said, "The United States regards China and Russia as its main strategic competitors, engages in proxy war behind the Ukrainian crisis, tries to bring down and consume Russia, and constantly uses the situation in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait to fully contain China. These acts seriously endanger regional peace and security and bring instability to the world, which is by no means a good thing for global strategic stability. "

　　In the new budget, the United States also proposes to "strengthen democracy and promote human rights on a global scale". To this end, the budget will provide more than 3.4 billion US dollars for "strengthening free and independent media; Combating corruption, strengthening democracy, and defending free and fair elections and political processes.

　　The bimonthly website of American Diplomacy published an article entitled "The Root of Washington’s Addiction to Force", saying that the United States has developed the inertia of interfering in international affairs. During the Cold War, under the banner of national security, the United States supported coups, intervened in elections and secretly took military action around the world. After the end of the Cold War, the old habits of the United States were still deeply rooted, and they began to call themselves "leaders of the free world" and continued to intervene under the banner of "protecting human rights and promoting democracy".

　　Zhou Fangyin said that the United States is currently caught in a vicious circle of military expansion. On the one hand, in the name of safeguarding world security, the United States has greatly increased its military expenditure and created contradictions and conflicts around the world. On the other hand, in order to intervene and intervene in these conflicts, the United States needs huge financial support, thus further increasing its military expenditure. For many years, the United States has been trapped in this cycle.

　　"Since World War II, the United States has always been the most powerful country in the world. If the United States really wants to promote world security, it can make achievements in many fields. However, the interest of the United States has never been to promote world peace and security, but to expand its international influence, suppress its strategic opponents and safeguard its global hegemony. As a result, it has not only added instability and uncertainty to the world, but also made the United States pay a high price. The United States has always believed that there are enemies and insecurity outside, so it has continuously strengthened its military investment, thus stepping into the strange circle of arrogance. " Zhou Fangyin said. (Reporter Lin Zihan)

　　On June 11th, the reporter learned from the People’s Government of Songbei District in Harbin that the investigation team of "Private Demolition of Load-bearing Walls" in Limin Academy Community invited nine national authoritative experts, including China Academy of Engineering, to form an expert group to make a special demonstration on the safety appraisal and repair scheme of the building structure, and formed an expert group’s opinion that the technical work procedures such as testing, monitoring, appraisal and repair scheme preparation are reasonable, the content is comprehensive, and the analysis and appraisal results are credible.

　　After the incident, Songbei District entrusted national and provincial authoritative professional institutions to comprehensively carry out related technical work such as building structure detection, deformation monitoring and structural safety appraisal, and formulated a repair plan.

　　First, the National Construction Engineering Quality Inspection and Testing Center of China Academy of Building Research was entrusted to carry out comprehensive inspection on Building B of Limin Academy Community, and 248 houses were checked one by one. After verification, the total number of vertical load-bearing wall members on each floor of Unit 2, Building B of Limin Academy Community is 50, with a total cross-sectional area of 42.98 square meters. In the decoration construction, part of the wall of one component was demolished, with a cross-sectional area of about 0.48 square meters, accounting for 1.12% of the total cross-sectional area of the load-bearing wall of this floor, and the other walls were non-load-bearing walls. The test results show that 248 houses in Building B have not found any stress cracks in structural members, and all the cracks that can be seen are located in the infilled wall or the interface with the structure, which does not affect the structural safety.

　　Second, the Heilongjiang Institute of Cold Building Science was entrusted to monitor the deformation of the building. The continuous monitoring for 30 days showed that the data of each monitoring point were within the allowable value of the national standard, and no abnormality was found.

　　The third is to entrust Harbin Institute of Technology Engineering Testing Co., Ltd. to carry out the safety appraisal of the building structure, which shows that the whole structure is safe and stable except for the structural members adjacent to the demolition site, and it can meet the requirements of safe use after repair.

　　Fourth, the architectural design and research institute of Harbin Institute of Technology was entrusted to make a restoration plan based on the appraisal report.

　　Recently, an expert group composed of nine national authoritative experts, including academicians of China Academy of Engineering, national engineering survey and design masters, main compilers and examiners of national general codes, conducted a special demonstration on the safety appraisal and repair scheme of structures after illegal demolition. The expert group conducted on-site investigation and listened to the special reports from the testing unit, monitoring unit, appraisal unit, original design unit and restoration design unit. After questioning and discussion, the expert group’s opinion was formed: the temporary measures taken against the illegal removal of shear walls were timely and effective, ensuring that the structure was in a safe and controllable state at the disposal stage; The technical work procedures such as detection, monitoring, appraisal, design calculation and analysis, and preparation of repair scheme are reasonable and comprehensive, and the analysis and appraisal results are credible; It is reasonable and feasible to adopt the standard not lower than that at the time of construction to implement the restoration.

　　After verification, the picture of the gables of the building passing through the big cracks in the network was previously transmitted, and the building of Building B in the non-Limin Academy Community was a network picture quoted from the media.

　　It is understood that the residents of Unit 2, Building B of Limin Academy Community have been temporarily resettled, and 15 working groups have been set up in Songbei District to ensure the residents’ living services, and the first-class construction enterprises in the province will be entrusted to start the restoration construction. Songbei Branch of Harbin Public Security Bureau took criminal compulsory measures against five people, including the lessees Zhang and Ma Mouxin, the constructors Chang Moujiu and Liu Mouping, and the manager of the property company Zhang, who were suspected of negligently endangering public safety by dangerous means. Zhu Mobin, the owner of the house involved, and the property company will be severely punished according to the upper limit. The case is currently under further investigation. The Supervision Committee of the Harbin Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has carried out investigation on the related problems existing in this incident.

　　(Headquarters reporter Wang Haijun)

Cancer is a big problem in the history of human medicine, and there is no way to completely cure it at present. In the face of cancer with extremely high mortality, life is fragile. No matter whether it is poor or rich, famous or unknown, we often see the news that celebrities have died of cancer, and we can’t help sighing, but there are also some wonderful experiences of anti-cancer success!　 Many cancer patients often lose confidence in life after learning that they have cancer, do not actively treat them, or even resist treatment, and feel that treatment is unnecessary, and treatment is a waste of money. In fact, this idea is not correct. Don’t give up until the last moment. Even if cancer has not been completely overcome, after scientific and reasonable treatment with many patients, life can be continued, and even clinical cure or long-term survival with tumors can be achieved! Nowadays, there are many treatments for cancer. If it is found as early as possible and treated actively, one third of cancer can be cured. Medical "cure" is different from what people usually understand. The clinical cure here refers to the disappearance of symptoms and signs after treatment, and the tumor can not be found after image review for more than 5 years.

Today, Xiaobian, a cancer-free home, will share the stories of four celebrities who have succeeded in fighting cancer, and see how they fight cancer. I hope to give some reference and motivation to all cancer friends!

Kai-Fu Lee: From the late stage of cancer to the disappearance of tumor, chemotherapy+targeted therapy against advanced lymphoma.

　 On September 5th, 2013, 52-year-old Kai-fu Lee, the founder of Innovation Factory, announced that he had stage IV follicular lymphoma and had to leave work for treatment. In February 2015, he announced the results of his physical examination, indicating that the tumor in the body is not obvious at present. In June of the same year, Kai-fu Lee said that he had not found any lesions in his last two examinations and ridiculed himself as "Li Kangfu". It took Kai-fu Lee less than two years from finding out the cancer until the focus was completely gone. His anti-cancer experience is worth learning from. 　

Lymphoma, also known as lymphoma, occurs in the lymphatic system and is one of the malignant diseases of the blood system. In fact, we are no strangers. Besides Kai-Fu Lee, celebrities such as Luo Jing, Asan and Cindy Lee have also suffered from lymphoma. The incidence of lymphoma is actually not too high in malignant tumors, which is about 5/100,000. It can occur at any age, but it is mainly in middle-aged people aged 30-50. The malignant degree of different types of lymphoma varies greatly, which can be roughly divided into: inertia, aggression and high aggression. Inertial lymphoma is similar to chronic diseases, while high aggression is like a "death warrant"! There are many types of lymphoma, but as long as we know, lymphoma can be divided into Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), the latter accounting for about 90%, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the main type (40%~50%). When you know that you have stage 4 or systemic metastasis, it doesn’t mean that your condition is very serious and there is no cure. Don’t give up treatment easily. The treatment of lymphoma is mainly systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Li Kaifu’s treatment plan is that bendamustine (bendamustine) is combined with rituximab (rituximab, trade name: rituximab). Different from traditional chemotherapy drugs, rituximab is called "an artifact to accurately combat lymphoma". It is an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody against malignant B lymphocytes, with good effect and little side effects, and it is a milestone in the treatment of lymphoma. 　

Since rituximab was listed in the United States in 1999, the 5-year survival rate of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma has increased to 50%. Rituximab used to be a self-funded drug, which was expensive. Now it has been included in the scope of medical insurance reimbursement, which has enabled many cancer friends to enjoy the fruits of modern medical progress.　　

In addition, Kai-Fu Lee also tried many kinds.Natural therapyIn order to finally defeat cancer.

Keeping a good sleep is the most important thing. Staying up late for a long time may reduce the body’s immunity, and his lymphoma is a common cancer in the immune system. Therefore, after suffering from cancer, he made a schedule to protect his immunity. It is necessary to keep your mouth shut when disaster comes from your mouth. It is particularly important for cancer patients to keep their mouths shut, and maintaining good eating habits can better fight cancer. Kai-fu Lee suggested that everyone should eat more grains, beans, fruits and vegetables, and take a balanced intake. 3. Take your legs apart and exercise properly to inhibit cancer cells. Many studies have confirmed that exercise is beneficial to the rehabilitation of cancer patients and can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence after operation. However, it should be reminded that not all exercise is suitable for cancer patients, and it is suggested to use the principle of "not feeling tired". 4. Good attitude, get twice the result with half the effort When fighting cancer, it is very important to keep a good attitude, which has a great influence on cancer treatment.

Pancreatic cancer: steinman "tried medicine by himself", and the dendritic cell vaccine made him live for four and a half years!

　 Speaking of vaccines, everyone is actually familiar with them, except for the common hepatitis B vaccine and influenza vaccine, and the Covid-19 vaccine that we have vaccinated up to now. In fact, cancer vaccine is also a form of immunotherapy, which can prevent cancer from developing or kill existing tumors by stimulating or restoring the human immune system. In the 21st century, the high incidence of cancer has attracted the attention of the global medical community. As a prominent tumor vaccine, dendritic cell vaccine has been a research hotspot in this field. When it comes to dendritic cell vaccine, we have to mention a legendary figure-ralph steinman, winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. 　　

ralph marvin steinman After the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in 2007, steinman actively tried a therapeutic vaccine (DC vaccine) based on dendritic cells. With the help of this "cellular immunotherapy", his life was extended from the expected months to four and a half years.　 There is a rule in the Nobel Prize that they never give this prize to people who have passed away. However, ralph steinman broke this rule because he passed away quietly three days before receiving the call for winning the prize. Therefore, Staman is also called the most regrettable Nobel Prize winner.

　 0one　　Suffering from pancreatic cancer with a mortality rate of 95%, he devoted himself to the research of DC vaccine.

In 1973, steinman discovered dendritic cells in the spleen of mice, and put forward the concept of dendritic cells. In 2011, steinman shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Jules Hoffman and Bruce Beutler for "discovering dendritic cells and their role in the acquired immune system".

Pancreatic cancer, which claimed steinman’s life, is one of the malignant tumors with the highest mortality rate at present. The mortality rate of this disease can reach 95% clinically, and it is very rare for patients who can survive for 5 years after being diagnosed with this disease (< 5%). There is no approved cancer vaccine for pancreatic cancer, and the prognosis is very poor. The survival time of advanced patients is weeks or months. The disease is usually treated with the cytotoxic drug gemcitabine. However, this treatment seems to be mainly used for palliative treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer, which can improve the quality of life and prolong the median survival time of 5 weeks. Most patients will soon develop resistance to this drug. Therefore, the indomitable Professor steinman tried to use dendritic cell vaccine to treat his pancreatic cancer. Dendritic cells are the main antigen presenting cells (APC) in the immune system. They process antigenic substances (for example, from invading bacteria and viruses, and from cancer cells) and present antigens on their surfaces to other types of immune cells, especially T cells. This leads to antigen-specific activation of T cells. Therefore, dendritic cells act as the main link between innate immune system and adaptive immune system.　

02　　After eight treatments, dendritic cell vaccine made him live for four and a half years!

　 Professor steinman tried eight experimental therapies, one at a time. For each of these treatments, he and his colleagues submitted a single-patient use agreement to the FDA and obtained the approval of the agency. In these treatments, there are three kinds of cancer vaccines, and steinman finally used the dendritic cell vaccine from his own tumor instead of the cell line. Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer usually have poor prognosis. The median survival time of locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer (advanced pancreatic cancer accounts for more than 80% of individuals diagnosed with the disease) is about 10 months and 6 months respectively. For all stages of pancreatic cancer, the 1-year and 5-year relative survival rates were 25% and 6%, respectively. However, Dr. steinman’s life span has been extended from several months to four and a half years! Since then, the medical community has launched a craze for the research and development of dendritic cell vaccines, which has become a kind of immunotherapy with more research and development achievements in recent years. At present, the dendritic cell vaccines approved by the FDA and many clinical trials entering the third phase are worth looking forward to. Since 2010, exceptThe FDA approved the first dendritic cell vaccine Provenge(sipuleucel-T) for the treatment of refractory prostate cancer. Dendritic cell vaccine has achieved good results in all kinds of cancer. Such as brain tumor-DC VAX-L vaccine, melanoma-—TLPLDC vaccine, renal cancer-—ilixadencel vaccine, newly diagnosed glioblastoma-AV-GBM-1 vaccine, lung cancer-CCL 21-dendritic vaccine, breast cancer -Her2 pulsed dendritic cell vaccine, etc.Xiaobian will not go into details here.

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: After 33 proton treatments, Li Zongwei successfully returned to badminton.

　 As the uncrowned king of badminton in the world, Li Zongwei, a famous Malaysian badminton player, has a brilliant career, with three runners-up in the Olympic Games, four runners-up in the World Championships, one runner-up in the soup cup and one silver medal in the men’s singles in the Asian Games. However, on July 25, 2018, he met another more powerful opponent-nasopharyngeal cancer. According to Malaysian media reports, Li Zongwei suddenly announced his withdrawal from the World Badminton Championships and the Asian Games badminton competition, and was later confirmed to have early nasopharyngeal carcinoma in September. However, Li Zongwei was not defeated by the disease. After 33 proton treatments of 25 minutes each time for more than two months, the doctor said that all the cancer cells in his body had been eliminated. In October of the same year, after he announced the success of anti-cancer, he said that he would return to badminton in December. Perhaps Li Zongwei is not a "winner" in badminton. Although he has won numerous titles, he has never won a world championship, including a slightly dismal record against Lin Dan. This time, however, in the face of this "competition" with the same disease, he finally won. This win will be the greatest capital of his life. In terms of treatment, it is difficult to perform radical surgery because of the special location and unclear boundary of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the deep and narrow nasopharyngeal cavity, and many important blood vessels, cranial nerves and lymphoid tissues around it. But nasopharyngeal carcinoma is sensitive to radiotherapy, Therefore, radiotherapy is the main treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, especially proton therapy. As the "king" of "precision radiotherapy", it can not only show its talents, but also effectively prevent the side effects of radiotherapy.

Proton therapy is a "qualitative leap" in tumor radiation!

　 Proton therapy is to accelerate the nucleus of hydrogen atom (i.e. proton) which has lost electrons to about 70% of the speed of light by using cyclotron or synchrotron. After being accelerated by the accelerator, protons with positive charges become very penetrating ionizing radiation, which enters the human body at a very high speed, is guided by special-shaped equipment, and finally reaches the targeted tumor site. Because of its high speed, the chance of interaction with normal tissues or cells in the body is extremely low. When it reaches a specific part of the tumor, the speed suddenly decreases and stops, and the maximum energy is released, resulting in a "Bragg peak", which can kill cancer cells without causing damage to surrounding tissues and organs.

　 　

When tumors are directly adjacent to important organs or structures, such as spinal cord, optic nerve and heart, proton therapy can still effectively treat tumors while protecting the functions of these important organs or structures, which is impossible in conventional radiation therapy.

　

The high radiation dose is concentrated in the tumor site, and there is no/little dose in the surrounding normal tissues.

　 　　

　

Legend: The radiation of Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) is mainly concentrated around the focus of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, with little or no influence on the surrounding normal tissues, while the radiation area of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) is large, covering the focus and surrounding normal tissues.

Melanoma: "cured" after 4 months, immunotherapy made Carter the "longest-lived president"

　 In August 2015, former US President Carter was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, and liver metastasis and brain metastasis have occurred, so he is an out-and-out terminal patient. But just four months later, at an event in December, 91-year-old Carter announced that he had just confirmed after a general examination that the lesions in his body had disappeared. 　

It is understood that Carter used comprehensive therapy. First, the visible tumor was surgically removed, then the intracranial tumor was treated by radiotherapy, and finally the PD-1 drug Keytruda of Merck was used. After the brain cancer cells disappeared, Carter said that he would continue to use Keytruda for treatment. This incident made immunotherapy popular all over the world overnight. PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 pathways are crucial to the immune system’s ability to control cancer growth. These pathways are often called immune checkpoints. Many cancers will use these ways to escape the immune system. Specific antibodies to immune checkpoint inhibitors can block these pathways to deal with cancer. Once the immune system can find and deal with cancer, it can stop or slow down the development of cancer. Having said that, I have to mention the biggest difference between immunotherapy and traditional treatment, that is The trailing effect of immunotherapy, that is, patients who benefit from immunotherapy can continuously obtain stable results and bring long-term survival.
