Xinhua News Agency, Los Angeles, December 16th, special feature: Why did the loss of a mountain fire hit a hundred-year record — — Reflection on Mountain Fire Disaster in California, USA

　　Xinhua News Agency reporter Huang Heng Gaoshan

　　On the real-time fire map of California Forest Fire Bureau, many mountain fires are still burning. Compared with the basically controlled mountain fire "Kemp", these mountain fires are small in scale, but they still make Californians nervous.

　　Recently, mountain fires "Kemp", "woolsey" and "Hill" have ravaged the north and south of California at the same time, causing at least 89 deaths and burning more than 20,000 buildings. The "Kemp" mountain fire has become the most deadly and destructive mountain fire disaster in the United States in the past 100 years because it claimed more than 80 innocent lives.

　　Although California mountain fires are related to natural factors, they also expose some problems such as outdated infrastructure, improper planning and insufficient budget in some parts of the United States, which causes American society to reflect.

　　Climate change policy is questioned.

　　On December 7, the US Environmental Protection Agency announced a new policy, which greatly loosened the restrictions on carbon emissions of new coal-fired power plants. This is the latest action of the Clean Power Plan issued by the current US government during its subversion of the Obama administration. In the eyes of many scientists, similar carbon emission loosening policies will aggravate global warming, thus leading to more "Kemp"-style deadly mountain fires.

　　According to the statistics of the National Inter-departmental Fire Center of the United States, four of the five largest mountain fires in California history occurred after 2012 in terms of fire area. The "Thomas Mountain Fire", which just set a fire area record at the beginning of this year, was surpassed by the "Mendocino Joint Mountain Fire" with a fire area of more than 1,148 square kilometers seven months later.

　　Neil Laru, an atmospheric researcher at the University of Nevada, Reno, believes that the frequent severe mountain fires are behind the trend of climate warming. "When the atmosphere warms, it also becomes hungrier." Strong winds accelerate the spread of fire, and at the same time, "thirsty" air will absorb water from plants, making vegetation more flammable. "Heat, drought and strong winds are all raw materials for mountain fires. It’s all collected this time. "

　　In the view of California Governor Jerry Brown, "Fire Devil" is rampant because of human factors. He emphasized to the media and the public that global warming and the increase in extreme weather are the fundamental reasons for the destructive power of California mountain fires. Humans need to "stand with nature" to stop the trend of global warming.

　　This is an important part of the White House’s policy philosophy. The current U.S. government not only withdrew from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, but also abolished a series of energy reform measures formulated during the Obama era by administrative order, and even planned to force the reduction of automobile exhaust and carbon emission standards of coal-fired power plants.

　　Coincidentally. When reflecting on the severe flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey in Houston last year, many scientists also expounded the relationship between climate change and frequent hurricanes. Jim Black, a professor of environmental engineering at Rice University in Texas, told reporters that in the United States, climate change has almost become a taboo topic, and he does not agree with this practice. He believes that facing up to climate change will help to deal with disastrous weather conditions to a certain extent.

　　"These measures [to loosen carbon emission restrictions] mean that when people face heat waves, droughts, fires and floods, the government will ignore them. These disasters will become more terrible because of climate change. " Ken Chimel, president of the American Union of Concerned Scientists, told reporters.

　　Infrastructure aging buried hidden dangers.

　　In addition to the "bad weather", California suffered heavy fire losses in the past two years, which also reflected two major livelihood issues that have plagued the United States for many years, namely, the housing crisis and the aging of infrastructure. Failure to nip in the bud is closely related to these disadvantages of people’s livelihood.

　　In California, for example, the housing needs of a large number of low-income people have been unable to meet for a long time, and their homes have been forced to gradually expand from the edge of the city to the adjacent wild forest areas, some of which are even the originally planned urban fire belts. In order to ensure the real estate tax that supports local finance, some municipal authorities have relaxed supervision on developers. As a result, a large number of buildings were illegally built in the forest. Once a mountain fire happens, it is easy to cause huge personal and property losses.

　　Richard halsey, an expert on mountain fires, wrote in the Los Angeles Times that the social reasons behind mountain fires must be acknowledged, including "poor planning". "They allow developers to leave hidden dangers during development, but let firefighters take the blame."

　　The aging of power, communication, emergency and other infrastructure has seriously affected the life-saving and escape measures such as fire warning, notification and evacuation. The communication signal in the mountainous area of California is extremely poor. In Paradise Town, the hardest hit area of the mountain fire "Kemp", many victims who escaped from the fire confirmed to reporters that about one-third of the 27,000 residents in the town did not receive the mandatory evacuation order issued by the police through mobile phones, networks and other channels when the mountain fire occurred.

　　According to an after-the-fact investigation by the California Public Facilities Committee, the first batch of firefighters who rushed to Paradise Town arrived at the scene 10 minutes after the fire broke out, at about 6: 45 am on November 8. Due to the shortage of local base stations and communication difficulties, although the county sheriff’s office quickly issued an evacuation order, it was past 8 o’clock when the first batch of residents learned the order, and by 10: 15, the mobile communication signal in Paradise Town was completely interrupted.

　　Savannah Lauscher, a resident of Paradise Town, recalled that when she received the alarm at about 8: 30, the ashes had drifted outside her house. "We saw a wall of fire. The Woods 50 yards (about 45 meters) away are burning and moving forward at a speed of almost 10 yards (about 9 meters) per minute. " Their family escaped by car like most people, but the road was so congested that they had to drive into the opposite lane to find a way out. Many people abandoned their cars and fled, while many people who stayed in the cars were burned to death.

　　Old power facilities are also a great hidden danger. According to the investigation report of the California Forest Fire Bureau on the cause of the fire in 2017, of the 21 large-scale fires in that year, 17 were caused by the equipment failure of Pacific Gas and Power Company. According to reports, the cause of the "Kemp" mountain fire may also be related to this.

　　Insufficient special budget attracts criticism.

　　The frequent occurrence of catastrophic mountain fires highlights the shortage of funds related to disaster prevention and relief in the United States. When the fiscal deficit and debt are rising, the U.S. government insists on using more government budgets in the military field, and does not hesitate to squeeze the budgets of federal agencies related to people’s livelihood. In addition, short-sighted economic and fiscal policies have magnified the shortcomings of insufficient and unbalanced disaster prevention and relief resources in the United States at this stage.

　　In FY 2018, the department responsible for forest fire prevention at the federal level — — The overall fire budget of the US Forestry Administration decreased by 17%, of which the budget for fire fighting was 1.06 billion US dollars, and in fiscal year 2017, the bureau spent more than 2.5 billion US dollars on fighting mountain fires. Overexpenditure on fire fighting has resulted in less and less expenses on fire prevention and related scientific research.

　　Us president trump accused California of failing to clean up dead trees and weeds in the forest in time after the "Kemp" mountain fire. The budget table of the US Forestry Administration shows that this year’s federal budget will directly reduce the budget for "cleaning up dangerous combustibles" from more than $37 million to zero. The inter-departmental "Joint Fire Science Research Project" has funded 280 sub-projects in the past 10 years, which has played a great role in guiding the disaster reduction and prevention of mountain fires. However, the funding for this research project in 2018 is less than a quarter of that in 2011.

　　Due to historical reasons, a large area of land in the western United States belongs to the federal government. Take the forests of California as an example, 40% are owned by federal agencies, 30% are privately owned, and 30% are owned by the California government. The federal government has invested less in the prevention, control and scientific research of mountain fires, so the state government has to use local financial funds to advance. In 2016, California paid $16 million in firefighting funds for the federal government. Until 2017, the money was not returned, which led California to threaten to stand by and watch the fires in the federal government’s jurisdiction.

　　The California mountain fire also exposed the imbalance in the allocation of disaster relief forces of local governments in the United States. An official of the Los Angeles Fire Department told the reporter that "Kemp" caused heavy casualties in northern California, while the other two fires near Los Angeles caused relatively light losses. The most direct reason was that the local government in southern California had more money, so it could hire more firefighters, professional firefighting planes and other large equipment. The worst-hit paradise town, which is located in Buyut County, is one of the poorest places in California.

　　The casualties and losses caused by a fire are heartbreaking. The inability of the federal and local governments to cope with the disaster has exposed the shortcomings of American social governance. These deep-seated contradictions and problems should arouse the reflection of the American government and society, otherwise, the future fire and water disasters will only be more ruthless.

　　Cctv news(Reporter Zhang Ke): On February 18th, National Medical Products Administration issued an announcement in official website to revise the instructions of Liuwei Dihuang preparation. The announcement pointed out that according to the response evaluation results of adverse drug reactions, in order to further ensure the public’s drug safety, the instructions [Adverse Reactions] [Taboos] and [Precautions] of Liuwei Dihuang preparations (including pills, capsules, tablets, mixtures, decoctions and granules) were uniformly revised.

　　The instructions of Liuwei Dihuang preparation are revised for prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs respectively. It is pointed out in the revision requirements of OTC drug instructions that [adverse reactions] should include: reports of adverse reactions such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal discomfort, loss of appetite, constipation, itching, rash, headache, palpitation and allergy. In the modification requirements of items [Taboo] and [Precautions], the drug safety of allergic people is mentioned.

　　As one of the classic prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine, Liuwei Dihuang Pill is well known to the public for its effects of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, and was once called "essential tonic for families". How to eat this kind of "tonic", can it be eaten for a long time, and which people should not take it? CCTV reporter interviewed Yang Liping, the chief pharmacist of Beijing Hospital, to answer your questions.

　　The origin of "tonic medicine"

　　Liuwei Dihuang Pill is composed of six kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, namely Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Fructus Evodiae, Cortex Moutan, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Poria and Alismatis Rhizoma. It is characterized by "three tonics and three diarrhea" and mainly tonics. Yang Liping explained that the "three tonics" consist of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Fructus Corni and Rhizoma Dioscoreae to tonify liver yin, spleen yin and kidney yin respectively; "Three diarrhea" consists of three herbs, namely Cortex Moutan, Poria and Alisma orientalis, to purge liver heat, spleen dampness and kidney dampness. Among them, the dosage of tonic is heavier than laxative, so tonic is the main one; Liver, spleen and kidney are supplemented with three yin, and the dosage of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata for tonifying kidney yin is the sum of Cornus officinalis and Dioscorea opposita, so tonifying kidney yin is the main method. Therefore, Liuwei Dihuang Pill mainly has the function of nourishing kidney yin and is suitable for patients with kidney yin deficiency.

　　The prescription of Liuwei Dihuang Pill was formed by Qian Yi in Song Dynasty after subtracting two kinds of drugs from Shenqi Pill written by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which changed the original medicine for warming kidney-yang into a medicine for nourishing kidney-yin. Its original intention is to treat children with congenital deficiency and stunted five-delay syndrome, that is, "the kidney is afraid of losing its voice, the mouth is incompatible, the spirit is insufficient, the eyes are white, and the face is white". Since then, Liuwei Dihuang Pill has gradually become the ancestor of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney. Modern physicians mainly use Liuwei Dihuang Pill to treat dizziness, tinnitus, soreness of waist and knees, hot flashes due to bone steaming, night sweats and nocturnal emission, thirst-quenching, tinnitus and deafness, hand and foot fever, dry mouth and throat, tooth shaking, heel pain, dribbling urine, and improper opening of the mouth in children.

　　Improper use or "the more you make up, the more empty you become"

　　Yang Liping said that it is unnecessary for healthy people to take Liuwei Dihuang Pill if they have no obvious symptoms of kidney yin deficiency, and they should not take it for a long time.

　　For people with obvious symptoms of kidney-yang deficiency, symptoms such as soreness and coldness of waist and knees, preference for warmth and fear of cold have already appeared, and it is not recommended to take Liuwei Dihuang Pill to avoid aggravating the condition. Many people regard Liuwei Dihuang Pill as a "secret recipe for tonifying kidney" or use it for daily health care for a long time, which is easy to "replenish more and more deficiency", some symptoms are getting worse and worse, and even gastrointestinal problems may occur.

　　Experts pointed out that if you want to know whether you can use Liuwei Dihuang Pills, you must first judge whether you are yin deficiency. You can first look at your tongue, such as red tongue and frequent dry mouth. See if there are often symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, dizziness, and soreness of the waist and knees; Conditional can see the pulse, whether the pulse is thin and fast. With these signs and symptoms of kidney yin deficiency, Liuwei Dihuang Pill can be used. Even if it is suitable for eating, you should quit smoking and drinking and eat less irritating food.

　　Liuwei Dihuang Pill should be used with caution in patients with cold.

　　Compared with the previous instructions of Liuwei Dihuang Pill, the description of drug use for patients with cold has been changed from "It is not advisable to take cold medicine during taking medicine" in the original [contraindications] to "Use it with caution for patients with cold" in the [Precautions]. Yang Liping said that according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Liuwei Dihuang preparation is too greasy and easy to retain exogenous pathogens, which violates the cold treatment principle of relieving exterior symptoms and dispelling pathogens. The key to cold treatment lies in opening pores, sweating and dissipating heat. However, the function of Liuwei Dihuang preparation is mainly to "harvest", which runs counter to the idea and direction of cold treatment in traditional Chinese medicine.

　　Therefore, people should stop taking Liuwei Dihuang Pill even if they have kidney yin deficiency during the cold stage, and then use it after the symptoms of exogenous diseases are relieved.

　　Who else should not take Liuwei Dihuang Pills? Yang Liping said that Chinese medicine treatment needs syndrome differentiation, and "syndrome differentiation first distinguishes yin and yang". For example, kidney deficiency syndrome can be divided into kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. People with kidney-yin deficiency can show symptoms of lack of body fluids, such as dry mouth and mouth, dry skin, soreness of waist and knees, emaciation, hot flashes, red cheekbones, tinnitus, night sweats, red tongue with little coating, and weak and rapid pulse. People with kidney-yang deficiency are afraid of cold, and their hands and feet are cold; Frequent urination, long and clear urine, thin stool, pale and tender tongue, and slow pulse. Symptoms are completely different from kidney yin deficiency, so people with kidney yang deficiency should not take Liuwei Dihuang pills. Because Liuwei Dihuang Pill not only does not tonify kidney-yang, but also consumes kidney-yang, the symptoms of kidney-yang deficiency in patients will be aggravated after use.

　　In addition, people with kidney yin deficiency but poor spleen and stomach function have symptoms such as weakness of spleen and stomach, indigestion, chest tightness, anorexia, abdominal distension in loose stool, thick tongue coating, and excessive phlegm and dampness, and should not take it. Because the rehmannia glutinosa and Cornus officinalis in Liuwei Dihuang Pill are too greasy, it will hinder the digestive function after taking it, and may also aggravate the symptoms of loose stool, so it is not recommended to take it.

　　Also, healthy people don’t need to take it. Although Liuwei Dihuang Pill has the function of tonifying kidney, healthy people who have no obvious symptoms of kidney yin deficiency may not have any side effects in the short term, but long-term use may cause discomfort such as fullness, loose stool and loss of appetite.

　　Finally, note that Liuwei Dihuang Pill cannot be taken with rifampicin. Because Cornus officinalis contains a lot of organic acids, it will increase the toxicity of rifampicin to the kidney. (Proofread by Chen Yanhui)

　　On August 24th, the Japanese government unilaterally forced the Fukushima nuclear polluted water to be discharged into the sea. This extremely irresponsible move triggered strong opposition from the international community.

　　Japan launches Fukushima nuclear polluted water discharge into the sea.

　　But amid the opposition, there is a "debris flow" that is out of place.The authorities in Democratic Progressive Party, Taiwan Province not only don’t object to the Japanese government’s discharge of nuclear polluted water, but also take the initiative to "whitewash" the aquatic products imported from Japan, claiming that "there is no risk, so it will not be banned for the time being".Be ridiculed as a stage "‘ Help ’ On the 26th, Xie Changting, the representative of Japan, even made a strange remark on social media, saying that "trace radioactive elements are beneficial to the body", which is really "‘ Help ’ Day "has no bottom line.

　　Previously, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities had "whitewashed" Japanese Fukushima food with doubts about radioactive material residues, called "nuclear food" a "blessing food", and opened the import of "nuclear food" regardless of public opposition. This time, as always, I am groveling in front of Japan.

　　In fact, from the American "Lai pig", the Canadian "mad cow" to the Japanese "nuclear food", the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have become habitual offenders in importing problem foods.

　　Today, Master Tan will talk to you about the Democratic Progressive Party authorities’ trading people’s food safety.

It’s impossible to prevent!

The people’s dining table on the island has fallen.

　　"To carefully identify the origin mark, buy pork depends on whether it is the United States ‘ Lai pig ’ Buying beef depends on whether it is ‘ Add cattle ’ Buying aquatic products depends on whether it is Japanese or not, beware of disaster! "

　　This is the spit of an island friend of Tan Zhu. He said that when buying food in Taiwan Province, we should pay special attention to the place of origin."The Democratic Progressive Party authorities have poisoned the dining tables of Taiwan Province people badly in recent years!"

　　A store in TaipeiHanging "Taiwan Province Pig"Sign to attract customers

　　Master Tan’s search found that this island friend’s worry was by no means a mountain out of a molehill.

　　In addition to Japan’s "nuclear food", which has once again become the focus of discussion on food safety on the island because of Japan’s nuclear sewage discharge, just two months ago, Taiwan’s administrative agencies also decided to open the import of Canadian full-age beef with concerns about mad cow disease. Canada has been repeatedly upgraded by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) for mad cow disease.

　　Experts studying food safety on the island told Tan Zhu that the incubation period of BSE is as long as several years and the mortality rate of infected people is extremely high. Therefore, Taiwan Province’s "Food Hygiene Management Law" clearly stipulates that beef imports should be banned in the territories where BSE occurs within 10 years.Canada, which was just exposed to mad cow cases at the end of 2021, has obviously not passed the "risk period".

　　There are also media reports on the island that before confirming the import of "plus cattle", Taiwan Province Food and Drug Administration went to Canada for on-the-spot inspection, but did not check the slaughterhouses mainly for cattle over 30 months old (generally, cattle with mad cow disease are about 39 months old).Simply ignore the key points and go through the motions, and regard food safety as a child’s play.

　　This year, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities also opened up the import of Japanese cooked pork. However, some media on the island disclosed that there have been several cases of swine fever in Japan in recent years, which spread to more than 10 counties. In 2020, it lost the qualification of "swine fever clearing country" recognized by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH).Japanese pork can’t be sold to European and American markets at all, and only Taiwan Province is the "take-over man".

　　Also imported by Democratic Progressive Party authorities are American pork containing ractopamine, Japanese "nuclear food" mentioned above, and even Japanese imported strawberries found to contain banned pesticides.Democratic Progressive Party authorities can relax the standards of pesticide detection specifically for them, opening the door for Japanese "poisonous" strawberries.

　　No wonder Tan Zhu’s friends on the island are so uneasy about imported food.

　　Japanese imported strawberries containing banned pesticides were detected on the island.

Eat by the head!

Democratic Progressive Party authorities harbor evil intentions.

　　In order to safeguard the safety of the dining table, in recent years, people on the island frequently took to the streets to express their demands.

　　At the end of 2020, dozens of groups in Taiwan Province held the largest "Autumn Fight" parade in history, shouting "Anti ‘ Lai pig ’ "Take care of food safety", many parents took part in the demonstration with their children and asked the Democratic Progressive Party authorities: Have you ever cared about the health of the next generation?

　　People on the island marched against the import of American "Lai pig"

　　There are also non-governmental organizations that published a love letter saying, "The Democratic Progressive Party authorities are willing to be obedient and open to the American people ‘ Lai pig ’ Imports seriously endanger people’s health. ""People don’t want to be victims of politics, and the most humble hope is health. "

　　Similarly, as early as "anti ‘ Nuclear food ’ In the referendum, the people on the island rejected Japan’s "nuclear food" imports with 7.79 million votes. After Japan forcibly discharged nuclear polluted water into the sea, the anti-Japanese "nuclear food" public opinion on the island once again reached the boiling point. Some netizens on the island left a message asking the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, "How much do you sell for the health of Taiwan Province people?" "Is the life of Taiwan Province people worthless?"

　　People on the island oppose Japan’s "nuclear food"

　　Regrettably, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have always been perfunctory about the questions and protests of the people on the island, and have drawn all kinds of "big cakes" that have not yet been realized and cannot be realized.

　　Tan Zhu noticed that when the import of Lai Pig was opened, Tsai Ing-Wen declared that the decision could effectively promote "Taiwan-US relations" and help promote the "bilateral trade agreement" between Taiwan and the United States.

　　On the issue of "adding cattle", Mason Lee, deputy director of Taiwan’s foreign affairs department, also publicly stated that Canada will be the chairman of the Executive Committee of the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (CPTPP) next year, and opening up the import of Canadian full-age beef will have a positive effect on Taiwan Province’s accession to CPTPP.

　　After opening the "nuclear food" to the island, Tsai Ing-wen and Su Zhenchang frequently talked, suggesting that Taiwan Province’s move to open the Japanese "nuclear food" was "right", which would help strengthen the "Taiwan-Japan relationship" and facilitate Taiwan Province’s entry into CPTPP.

　　Produced by netizens on the island

　　Experts studying food safety on the island told Tan Zhu,The Democratic Progressive Party authorities’ wide-open door and "taking over" the problem food everywhere regard selling the health and well-being of Taiwan Province people as a "stepping stone" to expand the "international space". In the final analysis, it is for their political self-interest. These shameless politicians have sharpened their heads and want to join CPTPP, hoping to reach a so-called "value alliance" and "interest alliance" with "foreign masters" such as the United States and Japan, and create the illusion of "support from the international community" in order to defraud votes on the island.

　　However, Mr. Tan must remind the Democratic Progressive Party authorities that Taiwan Province, as a part of China, must take the one-China principle as the premise to join any international organizations and participate in any international activities.The Democratic Progressive Party authorities’ flattery of foreign countries to sell Taiwan has only resulted in "lip service", and what is more, the "foreign masters" have made more and more unscrupulous demands on Taiwan Province.

　　The "poisonous food" of the people on the island is doomed to be "free food". The Democratic Progressive Party authorities have ignored the health and well-being of the people on the island, and they have no bottom line to flatter foreign countries and harm Taiwan. They are also doomed to blame and be spurned.

So far, the hospital has introduced 12 domestic and foreign high-end medical talents in three batches to settle down flexibly in the province, which has become a new attempt for the hospital to introduce top talents.

　　It is understood that in the past two years, The hospital has signed talent introduction agreements with many experts, such as Professor Jiang Zefei from the 307th Hospital of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, Professor Ji Jiafu from Peking University Cancer Hospital, Professor Zhou Pinghong from Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, Professor Huo Yong from the First Hospital of Peking University, Professor Xuanyuan Qingshi, Director of HiPep Institute in Japan, Professor Liang Hanguang, Director of Surgery of Seoul National University, and Academician Li Zhaoshen, Director of Gastroenterology Department of Changhai Hospital affiliated to the Second Military Medical University. Together with the five distinguished professor introduced this time, 12 top talents have settled in the hospital, involving oncology.

　　"First-class centers call for first-class talents, and first-class talents look forward to a first-class platform. I believe that signing experts can also play their greater value in jiangsu province hospital, a high-level platform." Dean Tang Jinhai of jiangsu province hospital said that the hospital attaches great importance to internationalization, intelligence and talent superiority, and the introduction of flexible talents will quickly help the hospital master advanced medical technology, enhance its service capacity and benefit the people.

　　Three academicians of Gulou Hospital have been quietly "working" for two years.

　　It is understood that in the introduction of academicians, Nanjing Gulou Hospital is also a big deal. As early as two years ago, Gulou Hospital took the lead in introducing the academician workstation model, and now three academicians have quietly "worked" for two years.

　　Dai Yutian, director of the Science and Technology Department of Nanjing Gulou Hospital, introduced that in 2016, the hospital signed contracts with academicians Ning Guang, Liu Zhihong and Qiu Guixing respectively to establish academician workstations. Among them, Academician Ning Guang, a famous endocrinologist from Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Academician Liu Zhihong from Nanjing General Hospital in urology and Academician Qiu Guixing from Peking Union Medical College Hospital in orthopedics were introduced. Several experts come to Gulou Hospital regularly or send people to listen to the department development and clinical research reports, give clinical and academic guidance, train relevant technical innovation talents, and put forward suggestions and opinions, so as to "find the difference by benchmarking". Dai Yutian introduced that the establishment of the academician workstation has trained talents, improved the clinical and scientific research level of the hospital, and enabled the people to enjoy the quality services of top medical experts at their doorstep.

　　Dai Yutian introduced that under the leadership of the Nanjing Municipal Health Planning Commission, in the next step, Gulou Hospital will continue to build new academician workstations to further enhance the hospital’s talent strength and clinical research level and better serve patients.

　　Dr. Yang from the First Hospital performed 150 operations in three months.

　　Also on May 18th this year, a foreign doctor appeared at the awarding ceremony of Jinling Friendship Award of Nanjing Municipal People’s Government in 2018. Professor Mike Carmack, the chief physician of Cardiovascular Surgery in Nanjing First Hospital (American, MD), was awarded the "Jinling Friendship Award" by Nanjing Mayor Lan Shaomin, becoming one of the ten foreign experts who won this honor in the city.

　　It is understood that Professor Mike Carmack is a famous expert in cardiovascular surgery in the United States. He has been engaged in clinical work of cardiothoracic surgery in the United States for a long time since 1984. He has a very comprehensive cardiac surgery technology, especially in severe heart bypass surgery, complex heart valve surgery, reoperation, aortic surgery (aneurysm and aortic dissection) and heart transplantation. He is "the fifth doctor in the world who has performed total artificial heart implantation" and enjoys a high reputation in the world. As an expert selected by Jiangsu’s "Hundred Talents Program", Professor Mike Camack officially joined the Cardiovascular Surgery Team of the First Hospital on February 22 this year, and signed a three-year employment agreement to become a full-time foreign doctor in the First Hospital.

　　Qin Wei, Ph.D., Cardiovascular Surgery, First Hospital, introduced that Professor Carmack has been fully involved in cardiovascular surgery, undertaking tasks such as expert outpatient service (half a day each week in the headquarters and Hexi Campus), ward rounds, surgical treatment and personnel training. Now, Professor Carmack takes part in the early handover of departments every day, and the handover of departments adopts English communication, which greatly improves the overall English level of departments. Professor Carmack takes part in preoperative discussion every day, making operation plans, watching films with young doctors, participating in clinical decision-making, guiding doctors to operate, etc. In particular, he advocated the concept of rapid postoperative recovery, so that patients can leave the ventilator as soon as possible after surgery, remove the drainage tube and get out of bed as soon as possible, which greatly shortened the hospitalization time.

　　As of May 24th, Professor Carmack has participated in 150 operations, and 91 cases of difficult operations have been performed by him, including two cases of heart transplantation, aortic valve replacement combined with ascending aorta replacement combined with heart bypass, and the second operation for patients after heart surgery. In the past three months, there have been three operations every day on average, and no one has died. Such a low mortality rate is also very rare in the United States.

　　A number of 3A hospitals introduced academician workstations.

　　During the interview, the reporter found that in addition to the Provincial People’s Hospital and the Drum Tower Hospital, a number of top three hospitals in Nanjing constantly "borrowed" from the top technical fields in the country and the world, and invited academicians and Nobel Prize winners to set up workstations.

　　Nanjing Zhongda Hospital also cooperated with Sun Yinghao, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and a national academic leader in urology, to set up an "academician workstation". It is understood that in addition to setting up academician workstations in urology, Zhongda Hospital will also strengthen its strength in surgical disciplines such as cardiothoracic surgery and general surgery by setting up academician workstations. According to the strategic plan of Nanjing No.1 Hospital, the hospital will introduce 8 academicians in recent years, involving oncology, cardiovascular, nuclear medicine and other departments. At present, five academicians, including Han Yaling, Chen Zhinan, Zhan Qimin, Hu Shengshou and Zhong Shizhen, are stationed to guide the work.

　　Graded diagnosis and treatment, big hospitals urgently need top talents.

　　An industry expert said that the "graded diagnosis and treatment" promoted by this round of medical reform has made large and small hospitals more clear about their respective positioning. "Minor illnesses are in the community, and serious illnesses go to the hospital." The top three hospitals are no longer "grasping the eyebrows and beards", but taking on more and more difficult diseases. The requirements for technology are getting higher and higher, so the demand for top medical talents is more urgent. However, the dilemma of long training period and difficult mobility of top doctors also exists objectively. How to win more top doctors for hospitals? Academician workstation has become a feasible mode, which has been paid more and more attention by hospitals and departments.

　　By "marriage" with academicians of the two academies, on the one hand, the hospital flexibly introduces high-level talents, participates in the research of international frontier scientific research projects, and improves the ability to treat difficult and complicated diseases; On the other hand, it is undoubtedly a win-win situation for the hospital to learn from academicians and experts and train a group of academic leaders and key talents, so as to rapidly improve the scientific research and clinical strength of the hospital, further strengthen its own strength and benefit more patients.

　　Affected by the typhoon "Candu", it has been stormy in Shanghai since September 13th. From the ground to the sky, hard-core technology helps Shanghai prevent typhoons. In Xuhui District Urban Operation Management Center, the depth of ground water, fallen trees on the roadside, and all kinds of drainage emergency situations in the area are monitored in real time on the flood control and typhoon prevention command platform. On the skyscraper in Lujiazui, Pudong, the damper of vibration reduction and pendulum reduction device plays the role of "town building artifact" and guards the city skyline.

　　On September 13th, technicians of Shanghai World Financial Center checked the shaking of damper device during typhoon. The device has two sets on the 90th floor (about 394m above the ground), each weighing 150t, to reduce the shaking of the building caused by strong wind.

　　The eddy current pendulum tuned mass damper is located at the 126th floor of Shanghai Tower. This damper is independently developed by China and weighs 1000 tons. When the building is shaken by the wind force, the inertia of the damper mass produces a reaction force, which produces a reverse swing and plays a role in reducing vibration and swing (photo taken on July 27).
