How much is it to call an ambulance once? Can you specify a hospital? Take you to uncover the mystery of 120.

Speaking of 120, everyone knows it is an emergency hotline, but do you know how to communicate with the dispatcher in case of emergency? What can be done in the process of waiting?

Today, Xiaobian will talk to you about those things about 120 ~

When can I call 120?

As a life-saving first aid channel, the number of 120 patients is still huge, especially when some disasters occur. Therefore, each of us should learn when to call 120 and how to call 120, so as to minimize the unnecessary occupation of emergency resources and improve the efficiency of asking for help.

The following eight situations occur, so be sure to dial 120.

(1) Sudden heart attack, such as severe arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, acute heart failure, etc.;

(2) Shock or collapse, such as pale face, cold sweat dripping, weak pulse frequency, and decreased blood pressure;

(3) cerebrovascular accidents, such as loss of consciousness, coma, stroke, hemiplegia, etc.;

(4) massive hematemesis and hemoptysis;

(5) Severe dyspnea or asphyxia, such as foreign body blocking the respiratory tract;

(6) All kinds of acute poisoning, such as food poisoning, drug poisoning, pesticide poisoning, taking poison, etc.;

(7) Unexpected disasters, such as lightning, drowning, electric shock, traffic accidents and other industrial injuries, trauma, civil collapse and extrusion;

(8) Other conditions that may endanger the patient’s life, such as severe burns and frostbite.

If the patient does not have the above eight serious conditions, but his condition or injury tends to deteriorate, he should also call 120 for help in time.

# Tips #

Never think that it will be faster and more convenient to drive the patient to the hospital than to call an ambulance!

120 Emergency personnel will give patients some emergency rescue and diagnosis before the hospital, and report to the hospital, which is convenient for the hospital to prepare for receiving doctors. The medical equipment on the ambulance can also rescue patients in emergencies.

At the same time, when the ambulance is in danger, it will sound an alarm, and social vehicles will pay attention to giving way, so as to facilitate the patient to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.

So, next, Xiaobian will tell you what to pay attention to when dialing 120 ~

What should I pay attention to when dialing 120?

Xiaobian first gives you a wrong example:

"My grandfather fell to his head! Come quickly! "

"Ok, what’s the address?"

"My community, send someone quickly!"

"Excuse me, where is your community?"

"Beeping …"

Do you think this is a bit exaggerated? Don’t believe it, this is what really happened.

Although the emergency center can get the exact location through mobile phone positioning, it also delays the emergency time. So what is the correct method?

Knowing the correct way to dial 120, I believe many friends still have questions: "Which hospital can I choose for the 120 ambulance?" "Do you want to charge?"

How is 120 allocated?

1 Distribution system

Generally speaking, ambulances are commanded and dispatched by the 120 Command and Dispatching Center, which uniformly allocates the emergency resources of the whole city and treats emergency patients in different levels and districts. In the case of unstable patients’ condition, it is not allowed to designate hospitals for the first aid.

PS: If the patient’s condition is stable, there are no special circumstances that can be sent to the designated hospital according to the wishes of the patient or his family.

2 charging system

As a special vehicle equipped with professional medical equipment and emergency personnel, ambulances are not free of charge and are not covered by medical insurance reimbursement.

Ambulance expenses generally include two parts: ambulance expenses and pre-hospital first aid expenses.

Ambulance fee

The ambulance fee includes a fixed use fee (starting price) plus a kilometer fee. In case of waiting for a bus, a waiting fare will be charged.

Take Fuzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital affiliated to Fuzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as an example;

The charge for an ambulance within 3 kilometers is 200-300 yuan, and for each additional kilometer, the charge is 8-10 yuan, and the part less than one kilometer is counted as one kilometer.

(The local regulations are slightly different. The local regulations shall prevail.)

Pre-hospital first aid fee

Pre-hospital emergency expenses refer to all kinds of expenses incurred by a series of first aid, medicines and medical supplies before being sent to the hospital.

Some cities will also charge stretcher fees according to elevator rooms or staircase rooms, and the fees on different floors are also different.

Xiaobian reminder

These fees are uniformly stipulated by local provinces and cities, and all fees are based on standards, which are not casually mentioned by hospitals, so you don’t have to worry too much!

After making an emergency call, it always feels like a long time to wait for an ambulance. What else can we do for the patients during the waiting process?

Now you know that 120

How to call and how to charge?

Gentle Cell Jun: It turns out that emotions can be so real.

Text | Cat-loving novelist

"Jin Roumei, what the hell are you doing? You have no ambition, but you haven’t enjoyed your life and lived well. "

It is said that this drama is about "talking about the most realistic love in a fairy tale way".

This metaphor is so appropriate.

It seems that day after day, most people are still making rational and emotional plans for the future. Sometimes we think that this is our own decision, but in fact, there are a bunch of decision makers who are as important as your decision.

I seem to see the truth of the existence of "cell" from it, which is the lovely story expounded in "Gentle Cell King".

It’s been a long time since there was such a cured and decompressed love drama.

I have the honor to talk with you today.

one

"There is no fate, it’s just our choice."

The first time I saw this drama, I went to Kim Go Eun, the heroine.

Judging from her previous film and television dramas, I know that her choice will not be bad. She reached the peak when she debuted. At the age of 21, she won the Best Newcomer Award in eight film awards ceremonies, including the 33rd Korea Qinglong Film Award and the 49th Korea Film Bell Award.

She has high taste in choosing scripts, and the quality of movies and TV plays is guaranteed.

Let’s look at this drama, which is adapted from the popular website of the same name and has 3 billion hits in Korea. This film is different from the ordinary drama. It is not a simple real person to interpret the plot of comics, but takes the form of combining animation with real people. This is the first attempt in a Korean drama, and this adaptation of the live-action version not only did not overturn, but also satisfied the original party, and its reputation rose steadily. In addition, the actor’s acting skills were excellent: Kim Go Eun’s pretty short hair style with bangs on his eyebrows was almost similar to the comic characters, which perfectly interpreted the image of an ordinary social animal with a girl’s heart.

A good drama requires the blessing of the production team and the scriptwriter. Song Zaizhen, the writer of two works with more than 8 points, Alhambra Palace and W- Two Worlds, participated in the production. While restoring the cartoon, the director paid tribute to Interstellar’s five-dimensional space, and the sense of the picture suddenly increased. Compared with the lovely popular science of the Japanese version of Work Cell mentioned frequently before, Gentle Cell Jun let us "discover" the real emotions in ourselves for no reason.

This drama shows the social life of ordinary people, and also lets us know that we are different.

The first season ended at the end of last month. At present, Douban scored 8.5, and the second season has been renewed. It is planned to be broadcast in the first half of next year.

"I am obviously in love, but I still feel lonely occasionally."

Going back to the drama itself and putting aside various external factors, the drama itself with this theme is very popular.

Looking around, no matter whether it is domestic or overseas dramas, they can’t escape the dog’s blood-stained plot performance. What the audience discusses is more star acting, and they care little about what the plot is going to be.

In the original cartoon, there are three boyfriends in the heroine’s gentle setting, which is different from the inherent hero setting of traditional Korean dramas. There is only one protagonist in Gentle Cell Jun, that is, gentle oneself.

Her cell monarchs take her as the center, and her mood is also influenced by the cell monarchs. Tell the most common and realistic love in the form of the most dreamy fairy tale.

It is difficult for a romantic drama to tell a relationship in this way, and it did.

In the soft cells, they almost perform their duties, and they are indispensable.

When Ruanmei works hard, rational cells drive everyone to help and exert themselves; She is hungry, hungry cells are irritable, and she wants to eat everything. She began to pay attention to her personal image, and every day she dressed up with fashion cells to control it; Suddenly, Roumei had some shy thoughts caused by excessive secretion of estrogen, which must be the pot of sinister cells.

They are the source of joys and sorrows in our lives. Just like Roumei, we will cry and laugh, and we will be angry when we meet our predecessors. In the invisible cell castle, we will also encounter earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions through these experiences. In the face of rival in love, people will be flustered and dissatisfied. Rational and perceptual cells hold their own words, which affects the gentle judgment.

Seeing this, everyone will definitely mention Inside Out with the same theme, but completely different from it, "Gentle Cell Jun" is feminine and cells, not just talking about the hero’s cells.

Roumei keeps an invisible and transparent dialogue with these cells at all times. When Roumei doesn’t know it, the cells give Roumei the most firm and long-term companionship, the warmest and sincere care.

Like a friend, like a family member, like a comrade-in-arms, to support a gentle life.

What I am most worth mentioning is the gentle love thread of this drama, the "gourd" that was hung high by love cells when Ruanmei began to fall in love. In fact, the animation part is more like a lollipop.

This candy affects every move of’ Cell Castle’. Roumei and Xiao Xiong begin to fall in love, and the castle is full of joy and sweetness. As we spend more time together, contradictions gradually emerge.

From the beginning, the dissatisfaction of perceptual cells with Xiao Xiong turned into the protest of all cells, and everyone began to ravage it crazily and throw sandbags at it. But it didn’t move. It didn’t change at all.

"Because love is deep, it will never crack."Cells think so, but in real love, many a mickle makes a mickle. No matter how deep the love is, it can’t resist the consumed love and patience. When this candy is really opened, it suddenly says "Break up".

Then there is really something wrong with this relationship. Back to the reality of the plot line, there are many points that Roumei cares about hidden around Xiao Xiong. It seems that so many things have happened, and Roumei was the last one to be informed, and she lost her sense of participation in this relationship.

Cell Jun also knows that when Ruanmei falls in love with Xiao Xiong, she is not the first, but no matter what happens, Xiao Xiong always puts herself first. This is the difference between two people, which is followed by no communication and no treatment, which is slowly shelved and finally broke up.

"There is no hero! There is only one protagonist in this place! "

The ending of the first season seems to be very sad, and the director seems to be deliberately arranging it. The beginning and end of their love affair are all in the same scene, with a beautiful picture and a silent one.

Roumei has been adapting to the reality that the other party has left for a long time. Different from the brokenhearted three years ago, she began to accept the fact, and the love cells didn’t sleep as long as they did three years ago.

The story focuses on the reality, and it seems that it is difficult for us to come out in the face of lovelorn love, just as the line says, "Why is it two people’s business to be together, and breaking up becomes one person to say it." Roumei took off the photo of Xiao Xiong in front of her desk, and when she passed by the place where she had been together, her footsteps would get heavier. Looking back on their sweet past, she would also think of the reasons for the split feelings and what it was.

Xiao Xiong’s self-centeredness, lack of attention to femininity, will not stand on her side for her consideration.

Not much to say, she thought she didn’t say, since the other party loves herself, why can’t she arrange a restaurant she likes?

So later, everything returned to the original point, and Ruanmei began a person’s life again.

In the picture of the story, it seems that it is no different from before, but in the end, this relationship is to let Roumei pull herself back to the first place and recognize that in life,I am the only hero.

There are so many dramas, and the core reason why this film is out of the circle is that the story itself fits the life of normal people.

It not only talks about love, but also provides some necessary survival skills for ordinary people in love: how to repel green tea, how to deal with contradictions, how to grow and how to make progress. I can see myself from the characters in the play, not grandiose and close to reality.

I have experienced her experience and felt her feelings.

Struggling in the workplace, maybe doing something you don’t like; I often work overtime, wishing my brain could turn faster; In order to buy shoes with clothes and choose bags for shoes, I spent too much and regretted it. I can’t sleep and always think, and my emotions come along the night; I know that eating too much supper will make me fat, but I still can’t help but open the refrigerator.

It’s rare for a love drama to be so real. It’s a bit of life, and it’s all reflected in the drama. It’s light, free and easy, and the picture feels closely following the rhythm of the plot. I want to brush it again quickly.

Then I look forward to the second season of "Gentle Cell Jun" next year, and I will make up the comics!

Emergency stop payment! Once the verification code is issued, 340,000 yuan will be gone.

Cctv news(Reporter Li Wenxue, reporter Gao Peng) On November 14th, a woman in Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province was defrauded by a liar posing as a public security inspector, and more than 340,000 yuan in her bank card was almost transferred to the other party. At the last moment, the police of Xiangyang Branch of Jiamusi City Public Security Bureau dissuaded and stopped it in time, so that it avoided heavy losses.

At 20 o’clock on November 14th, Ms. Wang went to Xilin Police Station of Xiangyang Public Security Bureau for help. According to Ms. Wang, at about 17 o’clock that day, a staff member who claimed to be a public security organ in Shanghai called to inform him that his identity card had been stolen by a fraud gang for fraud, and he needed to cooperate with the investigation and was equipped with an electronic confidentiality agreement.

The swindler asked Ms. Wang to use her mobile phone to download the mobile app sent by the other party, and then asked Ms. Wang to provide a bank card account number and password, and at the same time transferred all the funds in the remaining bank cards to the bank card, and asked Ms. Wang to keep it confidential and not allow outsiders to intervene. Ms. Wang listened to the other party and transferred the remaining funds in the bank card totaling more than 340,000 yuan to the bank card provided to the other party, and informed the other party of the bank card account number and password. Subsequently, the other party asked Ms. Wang to untie the bank card and ask for a verification password.
    At this time, Ms. Wang realized that she might be cheated and immediately went to the Xilin police station of Xiangyang Public Security Bureau for help. After being dissuaded by the police in time, Ms. Wang canceled the bank card unbinding verification code to be sent soon, and with the help of the police, frozen the bank card funds, so that the funds in the bank card could not be transferred out.
    Police tips:Public security organs will never use telephone to investigate and deal with so-called suspected crimes, bank card overdrafts and other issues, and there is no so-called "safe account". Don’t believe anyone who asks for bank transfer or remittance of deposits by phone or SMS, or claims to conduct fund review.

Continue to increase the supply of medical services, and do everything possible to tap resources to carry out medical services.

CCTV News:The National Health and Wellness Commission recently issued a notice, requiring local grassroots medical and health institutions to provide health services for respiratory diseases in winter and spring. In the past few days, local medical institutions have continued to increase the supply of medical services, improve service processes, and maximize the protection of patients seeking medical treatment.

Community health service center shares the pressure of hospital admission

Recently, the epidemic period of respiratory diseases in winter has been superimposed in many places across the country, and the demand for medical and health services for urban and rural residents, especially children, has increased significantly. In Yaojia Township Health Center, Hengfeng County, Jiangxi Province, the daily number of patients has increased from more than 40 cases to nearly 100 cases, and the visiting time of the health center has been adjusted to 7: 00 am to 8: 00 pm, an increase of 4 hours than usual.

In a community health service center in Jing ‘an District, Shanghai, the fever clinic is open from 8 am to 8 pm every day. Patients do not need to register, and commonly used emergency medicines can be directly distributed to patients in case of emergency. The community can also do antigen and antibody testing.

For parents who have taken their children to the children’s hospital, it is also very convenient to return to the community health service center near home.

Large public hospitals actively carry out pediatric diagnosis and treatment services.

Large public hospitals around the country have also taken various measures to carry out pediatric diagnosis and treatment services. Shengjing Hospital affiliated to China Medical University mobilized personnel, materials and areas as a whole, transformed the adult ward of Shenbei Campus Rehabilitation Center into a pediatric comprehensive ward, and increased the infusion area of Nanhu Campus from one to three.

Do everything possible to tap resources to carry out pediatric diagnosis and treatment services

Recently, the epidemic period of respiratory diseases in winter has been superimposed in many places across the country, and the demand for medical and health services for urban and rural residents, especially children, has increased significantly. The National Health and Wellness Commission recently issued a notice, requiring local grassroots medical and health institutions to provide health services for respiratory diseases in winter and spring, and do everything possible to tap resources to carry out pediatric diagnosis and treatment services.

The circular requires that local primary health care institutions should be fully open to children, and should not refuse medical treatment, and timely release the list of primary health care institutions providing pediatric services in their jurisdictions. Delayed service of pediatric diagnosis and treatment on weekdays in urban community health service centers with large service demand 1-mdash; 3 hours, or as appropriate, on Saturday and Sunday to increase the service hours. Township hospitals, community health service centers and community hospitals that meet the recommended standards of service capacity should take the lead in building independent pediatric clinics.

All localities should establish cooperation, counterpart support and referral mechanisms between general hospitals and primary medical and health institutions under their jurisdiction, determine the pediatric docking of a general hospital for community health service centers and township hospitals, arrange for doctors with intermediate or sub-high titles to make home visits to primary medical and health institutions, strengthen the teaching training for primary medical personnel, and especially help improve the service capabilities of pediatric emergency first aid, early identification of severely ill children, and venipuncture of children. General hospitals should reserve a certain proportion of outpatient number sources to give priority to primary medical and health institutions. Smooth referral channels, guide mild children to give priority to primary medical and health institutions, and refer them to primary medical and health institutions for follow-up treatment if there is a clear diagnosis and stable treatment in general hospitals. Guide the children to the nearest primary medical and health institutions for follow-up, and the general hospital will arrange special personnel to provide telemedicine or online consultation services.

Give full play to the role of family doctors, do a good job in health management services for key populations, and ensure the health needs of "one old and one small". Grassroots medical and health institutions should keep the fever clinic "fully set up and fully open", equip the grassroots medical and health institutions with necessary facilities and equipment such as thermometers and children’s atomizing machines (children’s masks), and equip them with necessary drugs such as antibiotics, antiviral drugs, cough-relieving and expectorant drugs suitable for children.

Brake failure is mostly caused by wear, leakage or insufficient air pressure, so regular inspection and maintenance are needed to prevent it.

When I stepped on the brakes, I found that the brakes were useless, the speed of the car did not decrease at all, and the brake failure was very dangerous. What is the cause of the brake failure? How should we avoid it? Many times, brake failure is actually a precursor.

First, if the brake suddenly hardens, it is likely that the vacuum booster pump fails to work, so it is necessary to check whether the vacuum booster pump is damaged or falls off.

Second, the brake suddenly becomes soft and treads like cotton. This situation may be caused by brake oil leakage due to brake oil pipe damage.

Third, when stepping on the brake, the pedal is soft and hard, and the strength is big and small. It may be that the brake oil enters water or air, and the brake oil should be removed or replaced in time. It may also be that the vacuum booster pump is aging or damaged.

Fourth, the steering wheel wobbles when you step on the brakes. This situation may be uneven grinding and excessive runout, so it is necessary to replace the brake disc in time.

Fifth, when you step on the brakes, the steering wheel deviates. This is because the brakes on one side are not working or the braking force is getting smaller. Check the brake calipers in time.

If you think it’s useful, remember to like it and pay attention to it. Braking is no small matter. If these things happen to your car, you must check it in time and don’t take any chances.

A 25-year-old boy has no heart for 555 days: artificial heart maintains life to change heart.

  In the past 18 months, few people have noticed that Stan Larkin is a man without a heart.

  This 25-year-old black guy has a thick body, likes to hang out with his younger brother and always takes his three young children to the park to play. He looks like a normal man.

  The only special thing is that he always carries a gray backpack and never leaves his body for 24 hours. Go out, carry your bag on your back, even if you sit down for a haircut, put it at your feet.

  Two pipes came out from the corner of the backpack, penetrated into Larkin’s clothes, buried under his ribs and connected to his "heart". As early as 2014, Larkin’s heart was removed and replaced by a Total Artificial Heart made by Syncardia Systems, Inc The backpack is filled with a portable driving device that provides power for it.

  To put it simply, this backpack and all-artificial heart system maintain Larkin’s life.

  It was not until May 9th that he transplanted a donor’s heart at the frankl Cardiovascular Center of the University of Michigan that he finally unloaded the backpack.

  Cynthia’s total artificial heart handed out the baton, successfully ending its 555-day term.  

  "Many people may be afraid of using artificial hearts, and what I want to tell you is that you need to overcome this fear because it will help you." Before leaving the hospital, Larkin described this journey as a "roller coaster" when sharing his experiences with the public at a media meeting. He feels that he can recover quickly after surgery, thanks to the escort of the total artificial heart while waiting for the transplant.

  "I feel like I can jog now." The man who just changed his heart two weeks ago said with a smile.

  A machine will become my heart, think about it, a machine.

  Larkin never thought that a man could live without a heart, let alone this happened to himself.

  He hesitated for half a month before agreeing to the doctor’s treatment plan to install a total artificial heart for him. "A machine is going to be my heart," he said with an incredible expression. "Think about it, a machine!"

  But he had to accept the machine. At the age of 16, Larkin went into shock on the basketball court without warning. Soon, he was diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.

  In human body, the heart promotes blood circulation throughout the body through the relaxation and contraction of atrium and ventricle. Larkin’s disease will make the myocardium of the right ventricle be replaced by progressive fibrous adipose tissue, which will cause the right ventricle to expand and not contract normally, which will lead to arrhythmia and even sudden death.

  "The best choice for him is to receive a heart transplant." Jonathan Gaft, Larkin’s attending doctor and frankl Cardiovascular Center of the University of Michigan, said, "But at the same time, we feel that his condition is changing very fast, and he may not wait for the day when his matching donor heart arrives."

  According to Billy Coen, director of the Technology and Innovation Center of Texas Heart Association, some patients with advanced heart failure often have to wait for months or even years to get a suitable heart source. Because the heart is too weak, key organs including kidneys and liver are likely to fail in the process. Without some forms of support such as artificial heart, many patients will die while waiting. According to the data provided by the American Organ Acquisition and Transplantation Network (OPTN), 49% of people on the waiting list for heart transplantation have to wait for one year or more.

  Larkin’s situation is getting worse. After developing from right ventricular dysplasia to total heart failure with bilateral ventricular involvement, his left and right ventricles could not effectively collect and pump blood. He was so weak that he could hardly get into the car by himself.

  Prior to this, the doctor implanted an automatic cardioverter defibrillator for him. When necessary, it will send electrical pulses to "activate" the regular operation of the heart. However, after the illness worsened, this commonly used cardiac auxiliary equipment was not enough to maintain Larkin’s life.

  In November 2014, after a series of physiological tests, the doctor decided to remove Larkin’s heart and implant a Cynthia artificial heart to replace the original left and right ventricles and four valves.

  This new "heart" is a pneumatic bicentric pump. After connecting with Larkin’s atrium, aorta and pulmonary artery, it began to perform its duties. As a mechanical heart, it can pump 9.5 liters of oxygenated blood per minute, which is beyond the ability of ordinary healthy heart and close to the level of athletes.

  There is no sensor or engine in Larkin’s body. Through two pipes, the electric external driver transmits oxygen and creates vacuum, controls the synthetic material membrane separating air and blood in the ventricle of the total artificial heart, and pumps blood to the whole body.

  "Tick-tock … … Tick-tock … …” This machine has accompanied his life all day. With each accurately calibrated compressed oxygen pulse, the driving equipment in the backpack makes a strong, stable and rhythmic sound, which sounds like a fast horse galloping through the hard road.

  A few weeks later, Larkin, who was used to the noise, finally fell asleep with it. "It kept me alive," he said. "That’s it ‘ The sound of heartbeat ’ 。”

  Larkin is challenging the limits of this equipment.

  Two days before Christmas in 2014, Larkin walked out of the hospital with his family and became the first person in Michigan to leave the hospital with a total artificial heart.

  "Although there is a backpack connected to my body, it’s like a real heart," Larkin joked. "It feels like I’m going to school with a backpack full of books on my back."

  Like every ordinary person celebrating Christmas, he went shopping in the shopping center, went to church to participate in activities, and accomplished something he had been longing for for for a long time — — Picked up the basketball with the device that kept him alive.

  Gaft, the attending physician, took a deep breath when he saw the pictures of him dribbling.

  "This artificial heart is not designed for playing street basketball," Gaft said. "Larkin is really challenging the limits of this equipment." 

  Hu Shengshou, academician of China Academy of Engineering and president of Fuwai Hospital, introduced in an article that artificial heart broadly includes ventricular assist devices and total artificial heart, in which ventricular assist devices are mainly left ventricular assist devices. 

  It has been 80 years since the Soviet scientist De Mihov transplanted the artificial heart into dogs in 1937. In 1969, American doctor Cooley completed the first successful total artificial heart transplant in Texas Institute of Medicine, and assisted the patient with a total artificial heart for 64 hours before the heart transplant.

  In China, the related blood pumps being developed by Tianjin TEDA Cardiovascular Hospital, Beijing anzhen hospital and Suzhou University are still in the animal experimental stage. There is no breakthrough report on the development of total artificial heart in China.

  Cynthia total artificial heart is recognized as the most successful of more than 10 kinds of total artificial heart devices that have been published so far. Ten years ago, it was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an auxiliary treatment before heart transplantation. It is also the only total artificial heart certified by the United States, Canada and Europe for clinical application.

  Although Larkin, who came home with Cynthia’s artificial heart, can’t move completely freely, for example, the electric drive device connected to him prevents him from standing under the shower, picking up children or carrying them around his neck as usual, all this is very rare.

  When the total artificial heart was just implanted, two pipes drilled from Larkin’s left rib were connected to a driving device called "Blue Giant".

  It weighs 188 kilograms and looks like a washing machine. This means that Larkin can only be tethered to the hospital by this cumbersome machine until it takes the doctor months or even years to find a matching heart donor for him.

  Fortunately, in June of that year, this small and portable all-artificial heart drive device newly developed by Syncadia Systems was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Larkin’s "washing machine" was replaced by a "backpack", so he no longer had to be trapped in the hospital. 

  "When eligible patients become stable, they can switch to portable drives," the production company said. "It provides patients with a wider range of activities and allows them to return to their families and communities to wait for a matching donor heart." It is powered by two lithium-ion batteries and can be recharged with a standard power socket or an adapter of a car.

  This equipment, weighing about 6 kilograms, was named "Freedom".

  In order to permanently replace the human heart, it has to overcome many technical difficulties.

  It seems that Larkin is doing well with a total artificial heart. At home, he doesn’t need more treatment, as long as he eats a low-sodium diet and takes blood-thinning drugs to keep healthy. Of course, as a person with a total artificial heart, he has to be like a robot and can’t leave the power supply for too long — — The lithium battery in the equipment is enough to run for 3 hours.

  However, total artificial heart is only used as an alternative transitional treatment before heart transplantation, and it can not be maintained for a long time. Cynthia’s total artificial heart, which is at the forefront of the industry, is also starting the clinical trial of permanent artificial heart transplantation.

  Academician Hu Shengshou introduced that although heart transplantation is the best treatment for many patients with end-stage heart failure who can’t be treated by drugs or surgery, it is still the goal pursued by the medical community for many years to use artificial heart instead of natural heart because of the limitation of heart source and the fact that heart transplantation is not suitable for patients under 40 years old.

  Although the current research is more and more advanced, in order to permanently replace the human heart, the total artificial heart has to overcome many technical difficulties. For example, as an artificial mechanical device, it does not have the self-repairing function of human heart, and it is impossible to stably simulate the heart beating more than 100,000 times a day for a long time without wear.

  "Larkin is still waiting for a heart transplant, and we hope to transplant him as soon as there is a suitable donor. During this period, he can return to health in some normal life at home, and when the opportunity comes, he will be transplanted in the best condition. " Dr Jonathan Gaft said.

  In order to serve the heart of this substitute, Larkin’s family took over most of the work of the nurse. The mother, who was afraid of touching two pipes at first, was used to often changing the bandage covering the entrance of the pipe for her son.

  "We have to be careful so that he won’t get infected," she said. "Now, I’m a professional."

  After 555 days of being accompanied by Cynthia’s total artificial heart and "freedom" drive equipment, Larkin finally got a heart from a donor.

  Now, in his chest, a fresh human heart is beating steadily.

  This is the third heart he experienced, which made him feel "reborn". "You can stop worrying about small things and do many things that you once thought you could never do again."

  Including hugging his three children again.

  "They will attack me," the father showed a spoiled smile. "They can’t wait for a long time. They will hang in front of my neck, jump on my back and ride on my neck. In short, they will run around me. " China Youth Daily Zhongqing Online Reporter Chen Yinan

Spend money to eat prefabricated dishes in restaurants, who became a big injustice?

Titanium media note:This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account Netease Digital Reading (ID: datablog163), by Su Wanshui, authorized by Titanium Media.

After Luo Min, the originator of campus loan, invited Jerry and Fu Seoul to bring prefabricated dishes, the prefabricated dishes caused a new round of controversy. In mid-September, in the "Oriental Selection" live broadcast room, the founder of Zhigang think tank shouted that "prepared dishes are pig and dog food".

Prefabricated dishes, a term that has a sense of existence in this year’s public opinion field, refer to semi-finished dishes that are prepared in advance and can be eaten simply by heating or frying later.

Precast dishes have been blown to the air, and "kitchen black holes" have found "spring" for cooking, but some people have a slight complaint — — This kind of fast food, which runs counter to the traditional eating habit of focusing on freshness, will eventually make Chinese food lose its soul and change the taste buds of Chinese.

When consumers feel that life is surrounded by something, capital with a keen sense of smell must have swarmed, just like prefabricated dishes.

There is no doubt that in the past two years, the industry of prefabricated vegetables has really caught fire. According to NCBD data, in 2021, the scale of the prefabricated vegetable industry will exceed 300 billion [1], and even some institutions predict that it will be a trillion-dollar track [2].

Among the players in the pre-cooked food track, whether they are cooking home-cooked dishes, focusing on vegetables, focusing on seafood, western food or hot pot and other special dishes, or even doing supply chain, they are all favored by investment institutions.

According to our statistics, from 2021 to the first half of 2022, there were at least 56 investment and financing events of prefabricated vegetables, accounting for 17% of the 334 public financing events in the catering industry during the period [3] [4].

Among them, tens of millions of levels of financing are the mainstay, but there are also billions of dollars in business. For example, in March of this year, Lu Zhengyao, who left Ruixing, participated in the establishment of the Tip of the Tongue Hero, and received 1.6 billion Series B financing [5].

In January of this year, the Tip of the Tongue Hero was officially launched, claiming that it would open 5,000 stores this year. Although there were only over 400 stores in July, people from all walks of life always paid close attention to whether the Tip of the Tongue Hero could become a lucky star in the catering industry [6].

According to the statistics of China Chain Store & Franchise Association, the amount of financing flowing into the prefabricated vegetable industry in the past year and a half can account for 10% of the financing amount of the catering industry [7]. "Prefabricated dishes" can also be compared with "meta-universe" and "carbon neutral", and together with them, it will become the most concerned track for investment institutions in the first half of 2022 [8].

Capital is willing to invest, and provincial policies are also overweight. Under such a good environment, there are more players on the track, and the start-ups, transformations and cross-border competitions are on the same field. By April 2021, Weizhixiang was listed, and the "first stock of prepared vegetables" in A shares successfully ran out.

In the year of 2021, Weizhixiang achieved revenue of 765 million yuan, up 23% year-on-year, and at the same time, 133 million net profit was returned to the mother, up 6% year-on-year [9].

Making prefabricated dishes can really make money. In fact, Weizhixiang, whose market is concentrated in East China, has achieved double growth in revenue and net profit in recent years. In the first half of 2022, the operating income of Weizhixiang reached 378 million yuan, and the net profit returned to the mother increased by 14.58% year-on-year.

Like the tip of the tongue hero, Weizhixiang also focuses on retail channels. In the first half of 2022, there were 1,522 franchise stores and 645 cooperative dealers nationwide [10].

If you often go to the vegetable market, you may be familiar with Weizhixiang, because the retail channels of Weizhixiang are mostly distributed in various vegetable markets and farmers’ markets. It is in the vegetable market that the founders Xia Jing and his wife observed the pain points of office workers’ trouble in washing vegetables and made their fortune [11].

But at the same time, Wei Zhixiang is also trying to walk on two legs, expanding the business of wholesale and direct sales to catering enterprises, and selling half of the dishes to hotels, restaurants, etc. In the first half of 2022, the revenue of wholesale channels accounted for 26.35% [12].

This is because consumers’ buying habits of prefabricated dishes are still in the training stage, but the use of prefabricated dishes in restaurants has already matured.

In recent years, prefabricated dishes have caught fire, and many people have also appeared in their homes. But in fact, prefabricated dishes have already "invaded" chain restaurants.

"28 separation" is the actual situation of this industry — — The ratio of B-end market to C-end market is about 8:2. According to China Chain Store & Franchise Association, at present, more than 85% of the sales channels of prefabricated vegetables are concentrated in B-end [7].

In other words, most of the prepared dishes flow to the central kitchen of the restaurant, and after being processed by the central kitchen, the prepared dishes in the form of semi-finished products continue to be delivered to various stores and finally delivered to the diners’ tables.

In 2020, 68.3% of the chain catering brands with more than 10 stores are already using the central kitchen [13].

In the survey of China Chain Store & Franchise Association, the proportion of prepared food in some head Chinese fast food companies can be close to 100%, such as Kungfu, while the proportion of prepared meals in Xibei Youmian Village and Xiaonanguo has reached more than 85% [7].

Moreover, compared with in-house food, take-away food is the growth soil of prefabricated dishes, and meals can be served simply by stir-frying, so merchants can not worry about overtime. The braised pork rice or pickled fish you ordered for lunch is probably a heated frozen fast food.

Pre-cooked dishes, a standardized product, are a perfect match with chain restaurants that pursue scale and take-away industries that pursue timeliness. The chain rate of restaurants in China is increasing, and the proportion of online take-out industry in the catering industry will reach 21.4% in 2021.

It can be predicted that as chain restaurants and takeout become more and more common, diners will be more likely to eat prefabricated dishes.

Why are prefabricated dishes so popular with chain restaurants? The reason is that prefabricated dishes can help them achieve "reducing costs and increasing efficiency".

Through the central kitchen, we can ensure the uniformity of products and reduce the risk of quality control, and the speed of eating will be accelerated, and we can entertain more guests in fixed business hours, and the revenue will naturally increase.

On the other hand, using prefabricated dishes, the kitchen in the back of the store heats it up and simply stirs it, which eliminates the need for chefs to operate, and the required manpower is also reduced, which greatly saves labor costs.

According to the calculation of China Chain Store & Franchise Association, the labor cost of restaurants will be reduced from 22% to 10% before and after using prefabricated dishes. Although the cost of raw materials will increase to some extent, the overall profit will still increase.

If it is a takeaway, the kitchen area can be further reduced and the rent cost can be lowered.

High rent and high labor are two big problems in the catering industry, both of which are solved by prefabricated dishes.

No wonder jian li, the founder of Xin Spicy Road and the chairman of Xinliangji, published bold opinions on his short video account that "in the next 10 years, 90% of chefs will be killed by prepared dishes" and "in the next 10 years, 90% of restaurants must use prepared dishes" [14].

Under the domination of assembly line production, the role of Chinese chefs has indeed been greatly reduced. If the taste is good, the power will be vested in the preparers of prefabricated dishes, and only a small number of chefs can get this "honor", while a large number of ordinary cooks know how to turn on and off the fire.

China Newsweek once reported that a 45-year-old skilled chef lost his job because his owner chose a new location in a shopping mall that restricted the use of open flames. "It may only take two minutes to heat up the prefabricated material package in 5 yuan and sell it in 25 yuan. From this point of view, the boss really doesn’t need to raise me again "[15].

Catering enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, but consumers are not willing — — Isn’t it the original intention of us to go to the restaurant all the way to eat the fresh and hot dishes cooked by the chef, even if there are occasional flaws?

The taste of the prepared dishes is mostly the same, and diners eat too much, and they slowly taste the clues.

In the first half of this year, "the use of prefabricated dishes in take-out and in-house meals without telling customers" became a widely complained problem, and the China Consumers Association criticized it by name, pointing out that it damaged consumers’ right to know and choose [16].

In August this year, CCTV’s Tianxia Finance reported that over 80% of chain restaurants in Guangzhou use prefabricated dishes [17], while in Shanghai, the users of prefabricated dishes even include Michelin restaurants [18].

After hearing this, a group of gourmets were thunderstruck, and related topics on social media were filled with their anger and disappointment.

The hottest controversy is that "prefabricated dishes unify the taste of restaurants". As prefabricated dishes continue to "invade" restaurants, different restaurants taste the same and have no pot gas.

Some people accuse restaurants of eating too ugly, and consumers pay the price of fried food. As a result, they get cheap fast food on the heating line, which is obviously unacceptable to consumers.

Indeed, if you go out for a meal, you can’t eat fresh ingredients and the chef’s unique skills. Anyone feels that he is a "big injustice". To suffer such a crime, it is better to order takeout or make instant noodles by himself.

When it comes to family use scenarios, solitary people who have "one person to eat" are too lazy to cook or young couples who "support their feet" want to eat some new tricks, and they may not be able to make cheap, delicious and relatively healthy meals with the help of prefabricated dishes.

They are not cheap — — Over 70% of consumers will choose to buy pre-cooked dishes above 21 yuan, and more than 14% will spend more than 40 yuan.

And they may not be so healthy — — A 258-gram prefabricated dish contains more than 2600 mg of sodium, which is too high [19].

Of course, these security risks may be solved with the improvement of industry norms, and the categories and tastes of high, medium and low-end markets will be richer and the prices will be more reasonable.

The emergence of prefabricated vegetables is the product of market demand, and the pace of life in modern society is fast. It is really convenient for many "workers" who don’t have enough time to wash vegetables, chop meat and marinate for seasoning.

However, it has always been lamented that when one day, the family kitchen is deeply invaded and the catering industry is heading for assembly line production in an all-round way, private and fresh delicacies will decline, and the "mother’s taste" will be nowhere to be found. The non-standardized and attractive Chinese food has also been eroded by industrial civilization.

No one hopes that the next "eat drink man woman" will not have the eighteen martial arts of steaming, frying, boiling, stewing and stewing, which are pleasing to the eye of Lao Zhu, but only the fancy way of tearing the packaging bag of prefabricated vegetables; Or the next "Gourmet" doesn’t have golden wisps of Buddha clothes, roasted geese in Gankun, and ecstasy rice, but only pre-made barbecued pork rice with heating time in place.

Sichuan Zizhong: Developing Characteristic Agriculture and Building a Strong Green County

Cctv news(News Network): "Going into the County to See Development" entered Zizhong County, Sichuan Province today (August 15th). Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Zizhong has promoted agriculture through science and technology, strengthened the characteristic agricultural industry, and strived to build a strong county with characteristic industries in Chengdu and Chongqing.

Zizhong County, Sichuan Province, is located in the middle of Sichuan Basin, and it is the time for local rice harvest. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Zizhong has carried out the strategy of "storing grain on the ground and storing grain in technology", continuously explored the land potential, and tried to implement whole-process mechanized farming in hilly areas to promote grain production and income.

Yi Xiaojie, a rice grower in Zizhong County, Sichuan ProvinceMechanized farming has been carried out throughout the process, and the output has also gone up, and our pockets have also swelled.

Promoting agriculture through science and technology and promoting the high-quality development of modern agriculture. Relying on national agricultural science and technology parks, national modern agricultural industrial parks and national rural industrial integration development demonstration parks, Zizhong has continuously increased investment in research and development, and the scale and quality of agricultural products have been continuously improved. In 2021, the total output value of Zizhong agriculture was 8.131 billion yuan.

Zizhong is located between Chengdu and Chongqing. In recent years, the local transportation infrastructure has developed rapidly. Now, from Zizhong North Station, Chengdu-Chongqing high-speed railway can reach the capital in 28 minutes and Chongqing in 38 minutes. In the future, Zizhong will continue to lay out emerging industries such as clean energy and electronic information, build food and beverage industry clusters, and strive to build a strong green industry county in Chengdu and Chongqing, relying on the development of the twin-city economic circle in Chengdu and Chongqing.

Lu Songming, Deputy Secretary of Neijiang Municipal Committee of Sichuan Province and Secretary of Zizhong County CommitteeWe will develop characteristic agricultural industries, actively undertake supporting key industries in Chengdu and Chongqing, speed up the construction of a regional modern logistics system, and integrate high-quality into the twin-city economic circle in Chengdu and Chongqing.

Service upgrade! "Warm Home" has become a warm home for truck drivers.

"Tired, have a rest."

In Chengdu Qingbaijiang Micro-products Liandahai Industrial Park, truck driver Ye Qinghua took advantage of the cargo gap and walked into the 24-hour "rest station". The temperature in the station is suitable, and the facilities and equipment are readily available. Ye Qinghua opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of frozen mineral water and gulped it down. "It’s very convenient here. The canteen next door also provides meals of 2 meats, 2 vegetarian dishes and 1 soup. You can eat them for free by scanning the code."

Qingbaijiang is the seat of Chengdu International Railway Port, and the trains between China and Europe (Chengdu and Chongqing) are galloping, attracting many modern logistics enterprises to settle down and simultaneously expanding the group of truck drivers. As one of the busiest logistics industrial parks in Chengdu, Dahai ranks first in the city in terms of storage capacity, distribution capacity and truck flow. Every day, thousands of trucks loaded with goods come in and out from here, transporting tens of thousands of tons of goods between Chengdu and other cities.

In view of the characteristics of large mobility and scattered aggregation of truck drivers. In 2022, Dahai Industrial Park opened the "Rongouyi Warm Heart House", which provided one-stop services such as parking and maintenance to meet the needs of truck drivers who want to "drink hot water, eat hot meals, take a hot bath and sleep well". Last year, combined with the business model of truck drivers in the park, Dahai Industrial Park launched several "rest stops", with air conditioners, televisions, water dispensers, recliners, books and newspapers, which further upgraded the service model of "Warm Heart Home". According to Li Lianglun, director of Chengdu Dahai Comprehensive Management Department, after the launch of the "rest station", truck drivers use the station service more than a thousand times a month.

Since 2021, Sichuan has explored a new path of high-quality development of the industry with "wheel party building", and innovated to create an upgraded version of the driver’s home-the "warm-hearted home" for truck drivers. At present, 26 related points have been built. According to the person in charge of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Transportation, the "Warm Home" is laid out along highways, ordinary national and provincial roads, logistics parks and inland ports in the province. According to the plan, 37 "Warm Home" points will be built in Sichuan before 2025, realizing full coverage of the main freight logistics channels in the province. On the basis of broadening the points, more considerate services are also being launched.

Jintang Service Area of Chengde South Expressway has established the first "warm-hearted home" for truck drivers in the province. In the "warm-hearted home", the laundry and drying area, shower area and kitchen area are well-equipped, providing drivers and passengers with services such as bringing their own bedding to stay at the minimum of one yuan, and the "one meat and two vegetables" box lunch sold in the service area is at the minimum of ten yuan, striving for convenience and practicality.

"This is the warm home of our truck driver."

"The space is clean, the service is good, the bath is very comfortable, and the mood of the sports car is good."

……

On the register of "Warm Heart House", the truck driver expressed his affirmation of this service through a series of real messages.

On this basis, in 2023, the Jintang service area of Chengde South Expressway launched the Warm Heart Health Service Station, which opened up a safe, healthy and green rescue channel to provide health promotion, emergency rescue and safety guarantee to the drivers and passengers in the past service areas.

Warm Heart Health Service Station is equipped with automatic external defibrillator (AED), sphygmomanometer and standing medicine box. Jintang Service Area, in conjunction with county transportation department and health department, has opened a medical green rescue channel nearby and provided a special telephone for green rescue. In case of emergency, the service area staff can contact the local hospital ambulance personnel and quickly link to medical resources, so that the drivers and passengers who are in urgent need of treatment can get the most timely and fastest medical treatment.

In January of this year, Ms. Wang, a driver and passenger, was sent to the post station by her friends because she was flustered, short of breath and weak. In the post station, the staff gave Ms. Wang a simple care and contacted the hospital through the emergency phone. It took only 14 minutes. The ambulance arrived at the post station and transferred Ms. Wang to the hospital for treatment.

"The service station is committed to rapid discovery, timely treatment and effective treatment of patients, and provides a safe and healthy travel service experience for drivers and passengers in all directions." According to Yue Dongxue, director of Jintang Service Area of Chengde South Expressway, in the early stage, they conducted emergency rescue skills training to improve the self-help and mutual rescue ability of the service area in response to emergencies and accidental injuries. It is convenient for rapid discovery, timely treatment and effective treatment of patients. "Provide a safe and healthy travel service experience for drivers and passengers in all directions." She said.
