EY study Corona is changing the pharmaceutical industry

Status: June 21, 2021 3:53 p.m.

The corona pandemic did not give the pharmaceutical industry a boost in 2020, it actually slowed it down. According to an EY study, only cancer medicine and ophthalmology are booming.

Is “Big Pharma” but not a beneficiary of the corona pandemic? The management consultants from EY (formerly Ernst & Young) are convinced: “The corona crisis was not a growth driver in the past year, on the contrary, it led to higher spending on research and development”, says Klaus Ort, head of EY’s Life Sciences & Healthcare market segment in German-speaking countries. “The pharmaceutical industry wasn’t a big winner from the pandemic.” In fact, sales of the world’s 21 largest pharmaceutical companies rose by just 4.4 percent in 2020. In the year before the pandemic, the increase was almost 13 percent. However, this was also due to a billion-dollar takeover in the industry.

Corona slowed growth

According to Ort, Corona led to delays in various treatments. Among other things, the fact that fewer operations were carried out in hospitals had a negative effect. This slowed down sales of the corresponding drugs and therapies. In the case of funds for heart and circulatory diseases, for example, revenues stagnated after having increased significantly in 2019. Sales of therapeutics for respiratory diseases even fell. Place refers to the wearing of face and nose masks as the reason, which also prevented infectious diseases such as flu.

Corona surge will not come until 2021

With sales of 26.4 billion euros, vaccines only made up a good five percent of total sales last year “Big Pharma” out. That should change in 2021. The US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has already announced that the corona vaccine Comirnaty will flush a good 15 billion dollars into the coffers. That’s a good quarter of Pfizer’s total sales. “At Pfizer, Corona will only have an impact on sales in 2021″says EY expert Ort.

Pfizer partner BioNTech also expects an enormous growth spurt in new, unimagined dimensions this year. The Mainz corona vaccine pioneer expects sales of 9.8 billion euros for 2021 and should thus become the third largest German pharmaceutical manufacturer – behind Bayer and Boehringer.

766 Covid vaccines and therapeutics pending

EY was unable to quantify how high the market volume for combating corona is. However, the management consultants see huge potential. They refer to 260 vaccine candidates who are currently in studies. So far, only four vaccines have been approved. “The four big players dominate the market and will continue to do so”, predicts Alexander Nuyken, co-author of the study and head of life sciences transaction consulting at EY. Because of the increasing number of mutations, the hurdle for approval will become higher and higher in future.

EY has found out that 506 therapeutics are in the pipeline for drugs against Covid-19. However, no means of this have yet managed to obtain approval. “Despite all the vaccination euphoria, one should not lose sight of this fact”, warns EY expert Nuyken. People are still dying of Covid-19 due to a lack of medication. After all, the number of drug candidates has doubled since the end of 2020. And: 162 therapeutics are in the clinical phase III study. The most promising means is considered the cortisone drug dexamethasone . According to a large-scale study by Oxford University, it lowers the death rate of seriously ill Covid patients by at least 25 percent. In the initial phase of the corona disease, Remdesivir, which was the first Covid drug approved in Europe, also works – albeit only under certain conditions.

Price drop for corona tests

The EY experts see the market for corona tests as completely oversaturated. There are currently 1,021 diagnostic tests on the market, more than half of which are so-called immunassays (including rapid antigen tests). “We see a drop in prices here”says EY expert Nuyken. Individual drugstore and supermarket chains are now offering self-tests for 80 cents.

Thanks to Corona, the vaccine business has experienced a renaissance, emphasize the EY experts. The biotech sector in particular benefits. Due to new trends such as digitization as well as gene and cell therapies, it is on the threshold of further growth. According to EY, the German biotechs received more capital in 2020 than ever before.

Cancer medicine is the major growth driver

The main market for “Big Pharma” but oncology remains. In the fight against cancer, the industry has a turnover of over 200 billion euros, which is more than a third of the entire pharmaceutical business. In 2020, the world’s 21 largest pharmaceutical companies increased their sales in oncology by 14.6 percent. Experts are also predicting growth rates of ten percent for the coming years. Only ophthalmology promises similarly strong growth. Because of the trend towards home office in the pandemic, myopia increased in many people, especially children.

Biotech companies could provide a new boost in the cancer market. Amgen recently made a breakthrough in cancer therapy with Lumakras. For the first time, an active ingredient was approved that is directed against mutations in the KRAS gene. The KRAS mutations are one of the most common causes of pancreatic, colon and lung cancers. The mRNA technology that BioNTech and Moderna are successfully using in the fight against Corona also promises huge potential for cancer research.

Hope in the fight against Alzheimer’s

Biotech could also bring progress in the fight against Alzheimer’s. In early June, Biogen received “green light” for the active ingredient aducanumab . It is the first Alzheimer’s drug to receive FDA approval since 2003.

According to the study by EY, the Swiss Roche Group has maintained its top position in the ranking of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies with 43.4 billion euros. AbbVie climbed to second place – just ahead of Johnson & Johnson and Merck & Co. Pfizer slipped to sixth place in the rankings. Due to the corona surge, the US pharmaceutical giant should regain the top spot in 2021

Exploring the offline store in Pien Tze Huang: “Limited purchase” of 2 tablets per person, sold out within 10 minutes after opening the door
On the morning of the 21st, the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client came to the Pien Tze Huang Experience Hall Beijing Galaxy SOHO store. There was still a quarter of an hour before the opening time of 9 o’clock, and several people had queued at the door.
At this time, the Pien Tze Huang clerk asked customers who lined up outside the store to scan the code to fill in information such as ID card, residential address, and mobile phone number, and said that only one person can enter the store at a time to make a purchase. Seeing that the line at the door was getting longer and longer, the clerk began to “persuade me to retire”: “Today, two pills are issued, and they only sell to the 10th place.”
The Sino-Singapore Jingwei client observed that Pien Tze Huang was sold out 10 minutes after the door was opened, and the customers in the back had to return empty-handed.
It is understood that the current offline store price of Pien Tze Huang is 590 yuan per tablet. Although the above-mentioned stores do not need to make an appointment to purchase, customers who purchase 2 capsules on the same day will have the opportunity to buy again after 5 days, and those who purchase 1 capsule can only buy again after 3 days.
A customer asked where to buy 10 gift boxes as a gift. The clerk responded, “Now there are no products everywhere, it depends on your ability to buy it.” Some customers told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client that their friends can only get one tablet within two weeks if they rely on internal channels.
In addition to offline “purchase restrictions”, on e-commerce platforms, Pien Tze Huang for 590 yuan is also hard to find. Many merchants sell Pien Tze Huang at a price ranging from 900 yuan to 1,600 yuan, the highest being the store price. More than 2 times more expensive. In addition, on social media such as Weibo, some netizens reported that the local Pien Tze Huang was fired at a price ranging from 900 yuan to 3,000 yuan.
Pien Tze Huang’s flagship store on Tmall “Pien Tze Huang Pharmacy Flagship Store” previously sold Pien Tze Huang, but the product’s webpage currently shows that it is “off shelves”. The 3-boxes, 5-boxes, 10-boxes, and 20-boxes in some online stores have been shown to be out of stock. You can only purchase the standard pack, that is, 1 pack. An online shop customer service told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client that recently Pien Tze Huang manufacturers have restricted shipments, and they are also out of stock.

Screenshot source: e-commerce platform Who is hyping Pien Tze Huang? On the 21st, the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client contacted the sales department of the Pien Tze Huang headquarters, and the relevant person in charge responded that there was no purchase restriction policy. When receiving a telephone consultation from the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client, the clerk at the Pien Tze Huang Experience Hall Beijing Galaxy SOHO store also denied the existence of a purchase restriction policy. He claimed that the store will have goods every day, but because there are many buyers and few goods arrive, so early No more. The client of Sino-Singapore Jingwei called the Pien Tze Huang Experience Hall at Cha Ting Store in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province on the same problem. Regarding the phenomenon of “difficult to find a drug” in the current market, the clerk replied, “In fact, it is not that we restrict purchases, but that there are A lot of speculation has led to high premiums. In addition, the supply of goods is relatively tight, so there is a situation where medicines cannot be bought at high prices. In order to ensure that real consumers have medicines available, we have made this move and set up prescriptions in stores. The rule of buying one tablet with an ID card has become what everyone calls the “purchase restriction”.” “A pill shouldn’t be enough for consumers, right?” The clerk said to this question, “You can buy it after you eat it. For real consumers, we can guarantee that there are medicines. I am afraid that there will be a lot of speculation. People buy the medicines so that the people who use them have no medicines available.” As for whether there will be a price increase in the near future, the clerk replied that “the price will not increase”. The outer packaging of Pien Tze Huang shows that the ingredients of Pien Tze Huang are bezoar, musk, panax notoginseng and snake gall. According to the dosage of 0.6g per adult, it can be taken 5 times, 2 to 3 times a day. Based on this calculation, the cost of each consumption is about 100 yuan. Although Pien Tze Huang has always been called Maotai in medicine, the unit price of Pien Tze Huang is even lower than that of Maotai: the original price of 1499 yuan of 53 degrees Feitian Maotai 500ML, an average of about 3 yuan per milliliter, and Pien Tze Huang a 3g, you can sell it for 590 Yuan, about 197 yuan per gram on average. It is understood that Pien Tze Huang functions mainly to clear away heat and toxins, cool blood to remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and is used for acute and chronic viral hepatitis caused by heat toxin and blood stasis, carbuncle boils, unknown swelling toxin, bruises and various inflammations. An industry insider told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client that at present, the supply of raw materials such as bezoar and musk used in Pien Tze Huang is relatively sufficient. Other pharmaceutical companies may not be able to maintain sufficient supply, but Pien Tze Huang’s raw materials are not a big problem. According to the research report of Southwest Securities on February 7, 2021, Pien Tze Huang is currently promoting artificial musk breeding to make up for the shortage of scarce raw materials. The Shaanxi breeding base raises more than 10,000 musk musk. It is estimated that the annual output exceeds 100 kg. Both musk and bezoar can meet the three-year supply. Capacity expansion. The above-mentioned market participants also believe that there is hype, “Exclusive products are particularly prone to monopolize. Pien Tze Huang is not capable of being produced by any company, and the stock is limited, which can easily lead to malicious hype.” Liu Chunsheng, an associate professor at the Central University of Finance and Economics, told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client that the price of Pien Tze Huang is rising steadily because on the one hand, the cost of certain raw materials is indeed more expensive, such as musk, which alone accounts for 55% of the total cost. . On the other hand, Pien Tze Huang has a state-level top-secret formula, which is very important in the Chinese medicine industry. Liu Chunsheng mentioned that with the consumption upgrade of the healthcare industry, Pien Tze Huang, 590 yuan a pill, actually acts as a “luxury” in medicine, in line with the current concept of consumption upgrades and emphasis on health. “At the same time, it is undeniable that, of course, there is also a factor of speculation. When Pien Tze Huang is in short supply and has the same financial attributes of investment as Moutai, the more speculation will be, the higher the speculation, the more difficult to find investment.’ The herding effect’.” Behind “One drug is hard to find”: Pien Tze Huang’s share price quadruples in 18 months Pien Tze Huang’s “it is hard to find a medicine” has also opened up the imagination of the capital market. At the beginning of 2020, the stock price of Pien Tze Huang was still in the early 100 yuan. On June 11 this year, its stock price broke through the historical high to reach 419.96 yuan per share. In just 18 months, the stock price has quadrupled and the market value has increased from more than 60 billion yuan. Yuan has soared all the way, and together with Yunnan Baiyao, they have become the only two Chinese medicine listed companies with a level of 100 billion. As of the close on June 21, Pien Tze Huang’s stock price was reported at 404.23 yuan per share, with a market value of 243.9 billion yuan, far surpassing Yunnan Baiyao’s 136 billion yuan in market value, and was firmly in the position of “the first brother of traditional Chinese medicine.” In addition, Pien Tze Huang’s 2020 financial report data shows that Pien Tze Huang achieved revenue of 6.511 billion yuan, an increase of 13.78% year-on-year; net profit of 1.672 billion yuan, an increase of 21.62% year-on-year. Among them, from the first quarter to the fourth quarter of 2020, Pien Tze Huang’s gross profit margin was 47.98%, 44.44%, 49.20%, and 37.45%, respectively. Pien Tze Huang said that the main reason is that the sales proportion of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry has decreased, which makes the gross profit margin of sales. Compared with the previous three quarters, there has been a decrease. It is worth mentioning that although Pien Tze Huang’s performance has risen in 2020, the growth rate has slowed down significantly. From the financial report data in recent years, Pien Tze Huang’s revenue growth rate in 2017 was the fastest, reaching 60.85%, but then the revenue growth rate began to decline year by year, and it fell to the lowest point in the past five years by 2020, only 13.78% . According to Wind data, Pien Tze Huang was restructured and founded by the former Zhangzhou Pharmaceutical Factory in December 1999. It is a time-honored Chinese enterprise. Its main business includes the manufacture of Chinese patent medicines and the circulation of medicines. It was listed on the Shanghai Main Board in 2003. Among them, the core product is the Pien Tze Huang series, including Pien Tze Huang, Pien Tze Huang capsules, compound Pien Tze Huang lozenges and other Pien Tze Huang series products.

This article is based on the data of the Employment Report of Chinese University Students in 2021 (Employment Blue Book), and counts 10 science and engineering majors (including engineering and science), and 10 humanities and social sciences majors (including literature, history, and science) with a large number of graduates. Philosophy, Pearl Lam Galleries, Education, Economics, Management, Law), as well as the employment situation of medical majors that have attracted much attention in the past two years, hope to provide a reference for candidates and parents in their professional choices.

It should be reminded that the above data only shows the tracking evaluation of the training quality of the 2020 graduates, and the future development is still unknown. Candidates are advised to consider multiple factors such as employment prospects, social needs, and personal interest preferences when choosing a major, and must not blindly follow the trend.

Science and engineering: computer majors have high incomes; civil engineering majors can best “apply what they have learned”

According to the data from the Blue Book of Employment in 2021, among the top ten science and engineering majors with a large number of graduates in 2020, the computer major has the highest monthly income (6800 yuan) after graduation, and the computer and data processing, Internet development and application personnel are the majors graduated After the main work. Other higher-income professional categories include electronic information (6091 yuan) and automation (5917 yuan).

If high income is not the only career pursuit, mathematics and electrical majors may also be a good choice. More than three-quarters of graduates of these two types of professional employment have found a job that satisfies them, with employment satisfaction of 76% and 75% respectively.

From the perspective of the relevance of work and majors, 87% of civil engineering majors in the 2020 class are engaged in jobs related to their majors, and electrical majors are also highly related to majors (81%). Therefore, it is recommended that students who choose to study in these two majors, pay special attention to the cultivation of professional knowledge and skills during the university, which will be more conducive to entering a better career development platform after graduation in the future.

Humanities and social sciences: Management science and engineering majors have an advantage in income, and 90% of education majors realize the “gardener dream”

Among the ten humanities and social sciences majors with a large number of graduates in 2020, the highest average monthly income is management science and engineering (5701 yuan), and its representative majors include information management and information systems, engineering management, etc.; Later, he majored in finance (5587 yuan).

In contrast, although the income of education majors is not high, the employed groups have a higher sense of professional happiness, and 90% of them are engaged in professional-related jobs after graduation, such as elementary and middle school education personnel, early childhood and preschool education personnel, education and training Personnel is the main occupational category engaged in. The vast majority of students with “gardener dreams” can achieve their ideals better after studying in this type of major.

At the same time, it should also be noted that the 2020 economics and trade majors have a 51% correlation with majors, and about half of the graduates are engaged in jobs outside of their professional fields. Therefore, it is recommended that students who choose this type of major pay more attention to the cultivation of general work abilities during their university studies, such as communication skills, cooperation skills and other workplace “soft skills”, which will help them develop better in a broader employment field.

Medical: Generally speaking, the initial income after graduation from undergraduate is not high, so be prepared for further studies

In recent years, with people’s emphasis on health, coupled with the sudden impact of the epidemic in 2020, medical majors have become popular for admission. Stable industry, high social status, and good income seem to be the general understanding of the future jobs of medical graduates. In fact, what is the quality of their employment?

As can be seen from the table below, among the five medical professional employment groups with a large number of graduates in the 2020 undergraduates, about 90% have engaged in professional-related jobs after graduation. Among them, the clinical medicine professional work and professional correlation reached 96%. The job satisfaction of medical technology, nursing, and pharmacy majors is relatively good.

Due to the characteristics of the medical industry, the salaries of medical graduates in the early stages of work are generally not high. Moreover, many large medical institutions now require a master’s degree or above for recruitment. Therefore, choosing to embark on the path of medicine requires preparation for continuous study in the professional field.

the data shows: The follow-up evaluation of the training quality of the 2020 undergraduates half a year after graduation will be completed in early March 2021. The national sample of undergraduates is 124,000. Covering 401 undergraduate majors, covering 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country, covering 582 occupations and 330 industries engaged in by undergraduate graduates.

Don’t advertise… dose In addition to participating in advertising on the mass media, some artists and celebrities also introduce products through livestreams on social networks. In addition to food supplements, they also accept advertisements for many products related to cosmetics, virtual currency… Recently, the public has been very upset with the fact that some artists have participated in advertising and hyped the public. Shioka effervescent tablets claim that the product can “dissolve fibroids, cysts”. After being criticized, some people had to apologize or silently delete promotional videos on their personal social networking sites. On the website of the Food Safety Department at vfa.gov.vn, people are constantly warned not to buy or use food products advertised in violation of the law, including Shioka effervescent tablets. as above. Recently, the Food Safety Department has sanctioned 3 violating companies (with addresses in Hanoi), specifically: Sanctioning Locifa Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company 162 million VND; Gob International Hi-Tech Joint Stock Company 150 million VND; Phamaco International Trading Company Limited 60 million VND. The violation committed by all three companies is to advertise misleading health food products that act as medicines. Assessing this situation, Assoc. Prof, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Phong, Director of the Food Safety Department said: “Violations on advertising of dietary supplements are increasingly complicated even though we regularly check and handle them. The inspection and handling of infringing advertisements on the internet and social networks face many difficulties and take a long time. People need to raise their vigilance, when they have an illness, they should go to the hospital for early examination and treatment, do not arbitrarily buy drugs or floating advertising food products.” Lawyer Dang Van Cuong, Chief of the Law Office of Chinh Phap, Hanoi Bar Association said: “It is very normal for artists and celebrities to sign advertising contracts for brands and businesses to help them. have additional legitimate income.

And then, Salk appeared as a savior with a vaccine that he tested directly on himself and family members. Just two years after Salk’s vaccine became widely available, the number of polio cases has dropped to just one in ten. Salk may have made a fortune from his invention but instead, he donated it to humanity, because in his opinion it is the intellectual property of the common people, like the sun, no one has exclusive rights to own the sun. . Rolling Stone magazine painting depicts pharmaceutical companies as a large vulture profiting from COVID-19. Comparing vaccines to the sun is a linguistic error on Salk’s part, because the sun is a product of the universe (or god), and vaccines are not. In the 18th century, the doctor Edward Jenner made a boy immune to smallpox by taking fluid from the wound of a woman who had had cowpox (a cowpox disease) and injected him, from That was the first time a vaccine was created. While injecting wound fluid from one person into another does not qualify Jenner for any patents, most vaccines today are much more complicated and require a team of experts to spend months, even even years of research and testing. In other words, vaccines are a human invention. However, Salk’s comparison only implies his belief that, in essence, the purpose of science is to serve humanity unconditionally. Salk’s story deserves a repeat at a time when the Biden government has a desire to remove intellectual property rights over vaccines so that poor countries can also access this knowledge and save lives. its citizens. But, many European countries objected. Even the leaders of giant pharmaceutical corporations also objected. They say the move will stifle and destroy the motivation to improve vaccines for businesses and scientists working for them. And they are absolutely correct. Profit is a reward for those who deserve it. Frederick Winslow Taylor, known as the father of scientific management, at the beginning of the 20th century put forward a theory that greatly influenced production systems around the world. Its basic is: money is the motivator. Although there have been many theories with ideas that go against it, after all, it is not Cuba Gooding, Jr. got a supporting role in the movie “Jerry McGuire” thanks to a scene in the phone shouting to the male lead Tom Cruise: “Show me my money!” or what? We all love that line and it’s classic because it’s so real, so raw, so true. Money and profits are very important. Drug companies cannot be told to sacrifice their profits when, as the New York Times puts it, “pharmaceutical corporations are addicted to huge profits”. Calculating from 2000-2018, the world’s 35 largest pharmaceutical corporations alone generated $11.5 trillion in revenue and a net profit of $8.6 trillion. The pharmaceutical industry’s net profit margin is higher than any other industry. And it’s been like that since the mid-1950s. In “Pharmaceuticals: Greed, Lies, and Poisoning America,” author and investigative journalist Gerald Posner recounts the stories of the early days of some of the biggest pharmaceutical giants and how they built their empire. As a story happened in 1990, German company Bayer released a “divine” pain reliever aspirin with a name inspired by “hero” in German. They promote it as a treatment for a dozen diseases: colds, coughs, asthma, epilepsy, stomach cancer, multiple sclerosis, bipolar disorder. They also claim that it is safe for children. Are you curious to know what kind of medicine that cures all diseases is no different from the drugs advertised by quacks on Facebook? Please, that drug is… heroin. Or another story during World War II, when the advent of antibiotics helped pharmaceutical companies to get rid of the reputation of specializing in producing addictive drugs to become pioneers in saving lives, these companies immediately applied for a patent for a series of antibiotics that could be used for many health problems and created a frenzy for doctors to prescribe antibiotics for 90% of the cases when patients came to see them, even though they did not practice them. the need for antibiotics to cure the disease. The disastrous consequences of the antibiotic craze are now starting to become more pronounced. But, that’s okay, for the pharmaceutical companies, it’s important that they make a profit. Profit may not be Salk’s driving force, but it is the driving force of pharmaceutical companies. But today’s world is also much more complicated than before, it is difficult for single individuals to create a specific power because the world is operated by corporations with centipedes growing all over the globe. We can’t tell tigers not to eat meat, that’s their nature and we can’t ask big pharmaceutical companies to be as “humane” as Salk. Illustration of “polio soldier” Jonas Salk on the cover of Time magazine. Pharmaceutical companies also argue that removing patents with COVID-19 vaccines will set a bad precedent and cause many other inventions to be removed in the future. But, they never questioned the fact that, constantly applying for patents also makes everything patentable, even the human genes – which are inherently natural – become obsolete. become someone’s intellectual property. In 2012, a case caused a stir when the biotech company Myriad Genetics was sued for holding a patent for two genes related to ovarian and breast cancer, BRCA1 and BRCA2. They weren’t the only ones at the time who possessed the gene. About 20% of the human genome was then owned by a corporation or a scientist. The petitioner argued that Myriad could not possess genes just as one could not own gold. But, Myriad compared the gene to a baseball bat, although it has natural materials, but cutting out which gene segment is a scientific choice. After many long years, finally Myriad lost the patent but let’s imagine for many years, the gene in our body belongs to someone’s intellectual property, which is very absurd but still blatantly exists. . And after all, does removing some research patents hurt scientists’ motivation to do research? Roentgen refused to apply for a patent for X-rays and what was his reason? His excuse was that it would limit the progress of this discovery! And instead of damaging the motivation for research, his later successors in the field of radioactivity were Marie Curie and Pierre Curie, who were honored not only for their discovery of radium, nor for them. not only because they found radium at the expense of their health, but also because they found radium. Traded his health but gave it away to the world for nothing. You could say Roentgen was already a millionaire by inheriting the family fortune so he didn’t need more money but Marie Curie was different, she was later unable to buy 1 gram of radium, the element she discovered herself. But she never regretted it. Marie Curie said: “Radium is not meant to enrich anyone. Radium is an element and it belongs to man.” Roentgen or Marie Curie are still single individuals. We have the right to hope in the noble hearts of single individuals, but we should not hope in the kindness of tigers, should not hope in the noble hearts of corporations.

Mr. Hoang Van Hanh sells all kinds of products made by his family. Photo: Nguyen Dung. In the past, the local people did not know how to trade in agricultural products and their products, because they brought goods from Dong Khe commune to the central market of Van Chan district by a far distance, so people set up small stalls right at the market. along Highway 32 for sale. The owners of the goods sold at the market are relatives of the Mong, Thai, and Tay ethnic groups living in Dong Khe and Suoi Bu communes, many of whom cannot speak Mandarin. Initially, they sold with different high and low prices, so Mr. Hoang Hiep Cuoc was the first person to trade in the market and told everyone to sell the same price for all items, which is 5 thousand. Because it has no name and has not been planned as a people’s market, people around and passersby call this place a market of 5,000, or a market for one price. In the market, I saw Ms. Sung Thi Dong selling vegetables with her son on the roadside. She is a Mong ethnic living in Ba Cau village, Suoi Bu commune, recently she went to the market to sell vegetables. Her customers are passersby and people in the surrounding communes. Because the price is only 5 thousand, the vegetables are grown in the high mountains and are always fresh, so each customer usually buys a few at a time. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thao sells specialty rice. Photo: Nguyen Dung. Sitting selling goods in the sun, the road is full of cars, so it is very dusty, but it helps her earn a little more money to cover her life. Sitting next to her are elderly Mong and Thai people selling wild vegetables, bamboo shoots and specialty rice. These old women do not speak Mandarin well, but they also bring goods to the market to sell, because the items have only one price and do not need to be bargained like other normal markets. Mr. Hoang Van Hanh, living in the market, he has just brought cucumbers, pumpkins, bamboo shoots, bitter melons, vegetables … for sale right at the door. Mr. Hanh said: My wife and I, Lo Thi Thuy, bring our family’s things to sell to passersby. My vegetables and herbs do not use pesticides, so you can rest assured that you use them… He added that in the bamboo shoot season, he and his wife can sell nearly 2 tons per month and a few kilograms of other agricultural products, thanks to which the family can make a small amount of income. Some people around here also bring goods to sell, many of which are herbal products exploited by people in the forest, at this time the items are not the same price of 5 thousand as before. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thao specializes in selling specialty rice such as black brown rice, brown rice, plain rice, etc., with prices ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 VND/kg.

Earlier, on May 5, the administration of President Joe Biden supported the removal of vaccine patent protection to speed up production around the world. If approved by the World Trade Organization (WTO), the move would allow other countries to create their own vaccines. However, according to reviews from Reuters , patent cancellation will not solve the current pressing problem: There is a worldwide shortage of vaccine components and equipment. Meanwhile, the United States, which holds a significant amount of vaccine production materials such as filters, tubes or specialized bags, is not ready to share with many other countries. Stickers are given to people who have received the Covid-19 vaccine. Photo: Reuters. America’s “Priority” Act This action stems from America’s reliance on a 1950s Korean War-era law, known as the Defense Production Act (DPA), which allows federal agencies to prioritize orders defense-related purchases. For decades, the law has been used to provide military supplies and respond to everything from natural disasters to biennial census disruptions. The government of former President Donald Trump later invoked this law to put the US government at the top of the list to buy vaccines and other products made by the US to fight the epidemic. When talking about the DPA, Gavi – a vaccine alliance that includes international organizations, governments, pharmaceutical companies and many others – commented: “The biggest challenge in COVAX’s goal to achieve Equal access to vaccines is a limited global supply.” “Export controls on raw materials are a significant cause of this phenomenon and ultimately only prolong the pandemic,” the organization stressed. However, a senior Biden administration official said there is no export ban and all US-based suppliers have shipped products overseas after prioritizing manufacturers in the US. country. The official said the DPA does not cause a global shortage of vaccine materials, and the problems stem from overwhelming demand. Complaints from India Even with access to vaccine patents, countries hit hard by Covid-19 like India cannot produce vaccines without raw materials. The number of Covid-19 cases in India has been increasing continuously recently. Photo: Reuters. With the DPA, factories helped the US build a giant vaccine production system. About 45% of the US population has received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Meanwhile, according to data collected at the University of Oxford, UK, dozens of other countries, from South Africa to Guatemala, to Thailand, have only immunized about 1% or less of their population. The US DPA has been criticized by many vaccine manufacturers around the world, including the Serum Institute of India, the largest producer globally. On Twitter in late April, CEO Adar Poonawalla “on behalf of the vaccine industry outside the US” asked the US to lift its hold on raw materials “if we really want to unite to defeat this virus.” “. Starting in May, the company plans to produce billions of doses of the vaccine annually developed by the US-based company Novavax. However, the quantity would probably be more than halved without raw materials from the US. South Africa’s Biovac vaccine production institute also relies on an American company to produce bioreactor bags, the material needed for cell culture. CEO Morena Makhoana said Biovac was warned by its US supplier that product delivery times could be double the usual time to 14 months because of the DPA. “Unexpected demand” Some suppliers say the vaccine industry can do a better job than governments at managing limited resources to maximize global reach. “If the ultimate goal is to produce a vaccine, then we believe (the government) needs to let the industry connect with its stakeholders to be able to deliver the end product,” said Thermo Fisher Vice President, Thermo Fisher, Mr. Michel Lagarde, said. A Biden administration official said experts from various federal agencies discussed the US prioritization system. Officials can sometimes change delivery dates for the country to avoid disrupting vaccine projects in other countries. However, this is not enough when vaccine suppliers around the world are planning to meet demand. Accordingly, Cytiva, Pall and Thermo Fisher are expanding their production space in the US and abroad. Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine. Photo: AP. Thermo Fisher urged customers to clarify which needs are urgent and which can wait. Even so, Mr. Lagarde said the company still tries to fulfill orders even if they are not considered a priority. Cytiva also announced it is expanding production, but the process will be limited by raw material shortages. “The world is experiencing unprecedented demand for biopharmaceutical products, technologies and solutions,” said Cytiva.

Jade yang goat is “praised” by many people as an effective “panacea”. That’s why goat pearls are becoming more and more popular. Photo: Thitdetuoi. Jade yang or jade onion, also known as goat’s goat, goat’s pin, and goat’s egg, is the testicle of a male goat. Photo: Decuubaoquan Since ancient times, Vietnamese people have spread among themselves that the dish from jade yang goat is ranked first in the dishes used to nourish men’s sexual vitality, enhance men’s ability, kidney and yang. ..Photo: Decuubaoquan It is also for this reason that at many restaurants specializing in goat meat dishes, jade yang goat is always very popular, even “out of stock”.

Accordingly, each set of goat pearls costs from 300,000 to 500,000 VND, depending on the size. Photo: Internet. Mr. Tam (owner of a goat meat shop in Ho Chi Minh City) said: “Men are very fond of dishes from goat pearls. My restaurant often stews, stir-fries or pickles wine to serve customers”.

However, do not want to buy is there. Photo: Internet The reason is that this type of jade is supposed to be obtained from goats raised in the rocky mountains of Ninh Binh, where the climate is four seasons and there are many medicinal leaves, so when the goats eat it, it will accumulate in the meat, the new jade will reach the highest quality. best quantity.

The root cause is believed to be 30 years of not trying to clear people’s doubts about vaccine side effects, according to the above article. Nikkei Asia 10/5. The landmark court ruling of 1992 During the 1980s, Japan possessed world-leading vaccine technology for the treatment of chickenpox, encephalitis, and pertussis. These technologies are licensed to the US and other countries. But vaccine development in Japan came to a near complete halt following a 1992 court ruling ordering the government to compensate people for side effects after vaccination. The Japanese people see this as a landmark ruling that opens the way for victims to seek compensation on a broader scale. A Japanese official injects a vaccine against Covid-19. Photo: Reuters. The Japanese government did not appeal the ruling. Vaccination was also no longer mandatory after the government revised the law in 1994. Since then, vaccination rates in Japan have declined as parents become more concerned about side effects. The AIDS crisis also has a negative impact. In 1996, a Japanese health ministry official was convicted of negligent manslaughter following a scandal involving HIV-contaminated blood products. Despite the government’s efforts to hold responsible, the incident still made officials in Japan feel that they would suffer the consequences if anything happened, while the politicians were unharmed. Gaps in policy Japan is currently facing a “vaccine gap”. In the US and Europe, the product licensing process takes only a few years, but in Japan it is more than 10 years. The Japanese Ministry of Health has issued a special license for the Pfizer vaccine to be administered to the elderly, but this licensing process only applies to foreign vaccines. Meanwhile, the US administration has accelerated vaccine development since the 2001 anthrax attack. When there is a public health crisis in the country, the US Department of Health and Human Services will coordinate with other agencies. research institutes and pharmaceutical companies to respond appropriately. The agency also supports development budgets, clinical trials, as well as emergency approvals. The global vaccine market is growing by nearly 7% per year. New vaccines are released every time a new deadly infectious disease emerges, such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Ebola. The mRNA technology used in making vaccines has been studied for the past 20 years and is being applied to fight Covid-19. But private companies in Japan can hardly solve this problem alone because of the lack of motivation to promote the development, purchase, or stockpile of vaccines. Japan currently does not have a domestically produced vaccine. Photo: AFP. “There is a gap in the vaccine because there is still a gap in policy,” said Tetsuo Nakayama, a professor at Kitasato University in Tokyo. One can mention the case of UMN Pharma, a Japanese biotech company that uses new technology to develop flu vaccines. UMN Pharma used to spend more than $100 million to build a manufacturing plant, but the company’s application for a license was rejected in 2017. The grounds for the rejection were that the product “lacked clinical importance” compared to vaccines. available. UMN Pharma currently has negative total assets and is owned by Shionogi – another Japanese pharmaceutical company. The vaccine made by UMN Pharma has been approved in the US. This has led one in the Japanese vaccine industry to question whether anyone still wants to make new vaccines in the country. Complicated legal regulations Technology and research talent are also flowing outside of Japan. “Japan has a lot of regulations but it has a weak support system,” said one virus expert. The country has only two research facilities that can handle the most dangerous viruses. But one of the two establishments has only recently reopened because it was previously opposed by the local people. Public Administration Reform Minister Taro Kono was appointed on January 18 as the person in charge of Japan’s vaccination campaign. Photo: Japan Times. Vaccine research in Japan is subject to complicated regulations by many ministries. Experiments involving gene editing are limited to the Cartagena Protocol. This is an international legal document on biosafety management with genetically modified organisms that Japan has approved. Meanwhile, Europe exempts pharmaceutical companies from applying the Cartagena Protocol. The United States has not yet ratified this document. Japanese manufacturers even ignore the domestic market. Takeda Pharmaceutical, for example, has no plans to license its dengue vaccine in Japan. The same thing happened with the vaccine made from tobacco leaves of Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma company. In the immediate future, Tokyo has quickly appointed a minister in charge of the Covid-19 vaccine. But products made by AnGes, Shionogi, and other Japanese companies are not expected to be approved before 2022.

Japan plans to produce the vaccine domestically. Illustration: CNN Shionogi is currently in discussions with the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare about a framework that would allow the efficacy and safety of vaccines to be assessed even with small-scale trials. This manufacturer hopes to contribute to the early prevention of the Covid-19 pandemic by focusing on investment and management of resources. In addition, the company has also completed a production line capable of supplying 10 million people a year with vaccines and plans to increase capacity further. Regarding Moderna’s vaccine approval process, on May 10, the pharmaceutical company Takeda said that clinical trials have confirmed that Moderna’s vaccine has helped increase antibodies in vaccinated people. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will evaluate and make a decision on whether to give the vaccine a “green light” as early as May 20.

Australia ordered 25 million doses of Moderna’s vaccine. AAP photo. Moderna pharmaceutical company said Australia will receive two batches of vaccines, including a booster batch of vaccine capable of dealing with new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel also said that the company intends to set up a vaccine production facility in Australia this year and this intention is being discussed by the company with the Australian government. Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine has not been approved in Australia, but the company said it will quickly submit an application to the Therapeutic Goods Administration for approval. Moderna’s vaccine is manufactured on the same mRNA technology platform as Pfizer’s vaccine and is considered highly effective in preventing deaths and hospitalizations due to Covid-19. Moderna’s vaccine has not yet been approved for use by the Australian Drug Administration, but it is being used widely in vaccination programs in the US. Thus, with the agreement with Moderna, Australia has ordered a total of nearly 200 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine, enough to vaccinate nearly four times the population of this country.

According to statistics, Thanh Hoa has nearly 1,000 species of medicinal plants such as: trichromats, mulberry, tuberose, white mulberry, cinnamon, hi thiem, saffron, tomato thorn, ha thu o, saffron, gao Ancient lam, ivy, mint, mint … In which, there are about 20 species of valuable medicinal herbs. Medicinal species are mainly concentrated in 11 mountainous districts with many endemic species. Growing red peas to raise red ant wings gives economic efficiency dozens of times more than planting acacia. Photo: Vo Dung. In fact, growing medicinal plants brings high economic efficiency, many localities and units in the province have implemented projects and solutions to conserve and develop medicinal plants sustainably, step by step. forming raw material areas for processing. However, the development of medicinal plants in the province is still not commensurate with the potential. For decades, the people of Muong Lat district (Thanh Hoa) have raised red ant wings and harvested plastic. All products are currently purchased by a company in Hanoi. The effect of raising red ant wings on the host tree is obvious, but what makes many people wonder is that the area of ​​red ants farming in the Thanh area is still too small. Mr. Luong Thanh Binh in Zone 3, town of Muong Lat currently has 1 hectare of thyme tree that flies red ants to exploit for resin. According to Mr. Binh, ant wings released on thieu pea trees can be harvested from 2 to 2.5 tons of resin / ha / year. With the purchase price of a unit in Hanoi committed at present, farmers can earn from 80-100 million VND / ha / year on average. According to Mr. Binh, on the border land that is both sloping and nutrient-poor, there is no tree more effective than raising red ants to collect resin from the host tree. As a breeder of red ant wings for decades, Mr. Binh said that raising red ant wings is both leisure and high economic efficiency. Compared with acacia trees, which are commonly grown locally, cultivating red ant wings gives economic efficiency 15 – 20 times higher. Red ant resin is a valuable medicinal material that is currently purchased by businesses with high prices. Photo: Vo Dung. Mr. Binh analyzed: The hills and mountains are exhausted, it is almost impossible to plant anything, there is no manpower, not much capital and time to take care of it to grow acacia. Meanwhile, compared to acacia cultivation, it doesn’t take much effort to grow host crops to raise red ant wings, and invest less … “In the past, Muong Lat people used to drop ant wings on big, tall trees, but later on they mainly raised ant wings on thieu pea trees because they were of moderate height and easy to exploit for resin,” said Mr. Binh. . According to Mr. Binh, thieu peas are leguminous plants, easy to grow, with low nutrient and water requirements and need to be replanted in 3-4 years. If planting pure palm trees as a host tree to raise red ant wings, the retention time is usually 20-30 years, but the disadvantage is that the stem is high and difficult to harvest. Currently, people still like to grow thieu pea to feed red ant wings because in addition to the advantages of low trees, easy to harvest, thieu lentils are also legumes to help improve the soil, simple care, and less pests. part of Muong Lat people plant this plant to release ant wings. Money picking, but not focused Thieu peas are locally available plants that can be propagated by seeds, so planting thieu lentils costs almost no cost in terms of seeds, and also does not need to be fertilized or taken care of. According to local people’s experience, if using thieu bean as host plant, they usually sow seeds at the beginning of the year and plant in April and to October. Red ants are also insects available in the environment. Thieu lentils themselves have “charm”, helping to attract red ant wings. Mr. Ha Van Huan, Zone 3, Muong Lat town, who has 500 thieu pea trees released red ants, about to reach the harvest date. Photo: Vo Dung. The adult red ants will find themselves, parasitize on the thieu pea tree. After laying eggs and hatching larvae, farmers often tie the larvae to the smallpox plants so that the red ant wings proliferate and develop evenly on the host plant and release the resin to exploit. Usually each year, farmers will have two times to exploit plastic in April and October. The product is currently signed by an enterprise in Hanoi with the price of 40 thousand VND / kg. In addition to planting thieu peas on the hillsides, on roadside land, some people raising ant wings also have the idea of ​​planting thieu lentils on the field banks to release the ant wings. Mr. Ha Van Huan, Zone 3, Muong Lat town, who has 500 thieu lentils, has released red ants about to reach the harvest date, shared: Planting thieu peas on the field bank while taking advantage of the excess land and harvesting. are red ant wings. The leaves of the thieu pea plant fall into the field as fertilizer for the plants as well. Next time, Mr. Huan will continue to plant more thieu pea trees on the field banks to release red ant wings. In 2007, Mr. Luong Thanh Binh (Zone 3, Muong Lat town) was supported by Thanh Hoa Union of Science and Technology Associations to train and transfer techniques of raising red ants to exploit plastic. After being transferred, in addition to his family area, Mr. Binh has now developed the farming area to 50 hectares, concentrated in communes Quang Chieu, Muong Chanh, Tam Chung, Muong Ly, Muong Lat town, Nhi Son, Pu Nhi … (Muong Lat district). The current red ants growers and cultivators are mainly the H’mong and Thai ethnic groups of Muong Lat district. According to Mr. Binh, people from Quan Son and Quan Hoa districts of Thanh Hoa province and some mountainous districts of Nghe An province have also contacted him for technology transfer and seed supply. Growing red beans to raise red ant wings can take advantage of a lot of land funds such as village roads, rice fields, pond banks, forest edges … Photo: Vo Dung. Raising red ant wings gives high economic efficiency, but according to Mr. Binh, ethnic minorities in Muong Lat district have not really paid attention. It is a very regrettable thing when the economic conditions of the people here are still many difficulties. “Raising red ant wings is very leisurely and gives high economic efficiency, but in reality, many people still do not understand its value. The elderly and children can also raise and harvest red ants; Where the product comes out is purchased there. I really want to expand the farming area to develop the local economy and increase income for the people, ”Mr. Binh pondered. To make the harvesting of red ants resin easy, Muong Lat people often plant on low host trees with short harvesting cycle. This explains why the cultivation of red ants is not suitable in the forests if they want to green the barren hills. Mr. Mai Huu Phuc, Director of Thanh Hoa Forest Protection Department (Management Board) also said that raising red ant wings to use plastic as medicine brings high economic efficiency. In the past, the Muong Lat District Protection Forest Management Board also raised red ant wings, but mainly selected multi-purpose host trees. Therefore, when the host tree has grown, it is difficult to release and harvest the red ants, so for many years, the Management Board no longer has cultivated red ant wings. This is one of the factors that makes the red-wing farming area not being focused in Thanh Hoa. Red ant’s wing is a red resin excreted by a species of red ant leaf aphid (a member of the ant wing worm family) that sucks on the sap of its host plant. According to traditional medicine, red ant wings have a bitter taste, cold properties, have a heat effect, blood pressure, detoxification, hemostasis, peas … Currently, all the resin of ants harvested in Muong Lat district is under construction. Duc Phu Agriculture and Forestry Joint Stock Company in Hanoi buys buckets for 40 thousand VND / kg.

With the record-high new Covid-19 cases, a nation of 1.3 billion people needs huge amounts of medical oxygen every day to cater to the treatment of its patients. This has caused a boom in the black market oxygen trade, where only the very rich can afford it, and families desperately looking for oxygen for loved ones with Covid-19 are susceptible to scams. “On the black market, an oxygen tank, which costs between $ 81 and $ 135 depending on size, is currently being pushed up to $ 812 to $ 1,354. This condition is an indirect cause of the death of patients who have no relationship or money, ”said Divyansh Pandey (25 years old) volunteer in the state of Uttar Pradesh, said. Medical oxygen in India has become an expensive commodity due to the soaring cases of Covid-19. Photo: Getty. The average price of a medical oxygen on the black market, about $ 1,080, is higher than the average monthly income of 1% of the country’s richest people. Conventional drugs, which cost $ 67, are now pushed up to $ 810. Pandey has helped dozens of Covid-19 patients find hospital beds, medical oxygen, oxygen generators and essential medicines. Pandey said he was forced to consider the supply from the black market after repeatedly failing to find and buy the items at the original prices. “The saddest thing is that the black market is openly open and hoarders casually sell it on social media. Non-governmental organizations and official sources often distribute these items for free or sell at original prices, but in small quantities and often out of stock quickly, sometimes within an hour. ” Crisis India currently records more than 20 million cases of SARS-CoV-2, more than 220,000 deaths. Experts say the reason for this dire number is the lack of beds and medicine. “When demand is too much and supply is insufficient, we are forced to sell imported oxygen generators for 10 times the price,” said an anonymous supplier at the Delhi black market. According to data submitted by the Indian government to the Supreme Court, the country has three times more medical oxygen than it needs in 12 states, with about 16,000 tons of liquid oxygen to meet the estimated demand of 4,880. tons last week. However, activists point out that the system only monitors hospital resources, not those needed by Covid-19 patients in home isolation. Although Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that oxygen production has increased 60% to address the crisis, volunteers and suppliers pointed out that problems such as transportation and logistics could hinder the arrival of oxygen cylinders. people’s hands. The price of medical oxygen in the black market has been pushed up many times because of the high demand. Photo: AFP. The lack of oxygen has even made many Indians recklessly experiment with making oxygen at home. At the end of April, many YouTubers posted videos showing people how to make oxygen using easy-to-find sources, available at home. Many of these are new high school students. “We created oxygen in the lab before using electrolysis and easy-to-find chemicals like potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide,” said Kirtharth Tiwari (16), whose video received more than 50,000 views. . Then, Tiwari also made the next video instructing people how to filter oxygen to use, avoiding the risk of an exothermic reaction by using a cold storage bag. “Two people reached out and said that following my instructions worked,” said Rahul Soni, another YouTuber with more than 300,000 video views. However, experts warn against doing such experiments at home because it can lead to dangerous explosions. YouTube has removed both videos for violation of community guidelines. Last week, the Delhi High Court ordered the state government to cut back to stop the proliferation of a “black oxygen” market. However, the situation is still developing complicatedly.

According to Chronicles of Sima Qian, in 219 BC, Qin Shihuang, fearing death, assigned the body to seek the secret of immortality. Regrettably, the dream of the first Emperor to unify China did not come true. Later, oil king John Davison Rockefeller – considered the richest American of all time – became the first person to successfully extend life with six heart changes in 38 years. These are two of the many examples of human desire to become immortal. That desire is becoming more and more burning, and based on the reality and the achievements of current science and technology, one day, man’s immortal dream will come true … Technology that prolongs life For scientists, human immortality is also an area of ​​research that receives a lot of attention. Although negating the immortality hypothesis from some religious point of view, atheists maintain Albert Einstein’s theory of relative immortality. In addition, modern scientific achievements are gradually proving the concept of relative immortality of the individual through physical immortality and biological immortality, instead of the subconscious “having death becomes immortal”. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the development of life-prolonging intervention technology has made great progress. Sinclair, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, thinks we are witnessing new developments in technology and that one day all humans can live to be 150 years old .. In medicine, gene therapies have long been used to help people regenerate themselves and fight all diseases. The current achievements of gene implantation, reversing the aging process by enzyme and NAD, effects on chromosomes or stem cells … are still quite limited. While it is possible to maintain a person’s lifespan for up to 15%, or even longer, the distance to immortality is a long way to go. In contrast, studies such as Syncardia and Carmat artificial hearts that have just been approved for commercial use will make the human immortality process more and more realistic. This artificial heart possesses a structure similar to that of a human heart and can automatically adjust the rate of blood flow throughout the body. They can also be replaced in the face of depletion and self-adapting to the changing mechanisms of life. An artificial heart works similarly to a human heart Currently, 81 patients have received artificial heart transplants worldwide. Not only the artificial heart, the famous academic journal Nature recently selected the “Seven Major Aging Intervention Technologies,” including a β-nicotinamide derivative from the Harvard laboratory, which was put into experiment. Sinclair, who discovered how the substance works, revealed that there is an important coenzyme called NAD +, which is equivalent to the body’s energy production plant, but its content is not static and will decrease with age. This is the cause of problems like aging and depression. Scientists have discovered the β-nicotinamide derivative adds enzyme levels to longevity. However, the price barrier of β-nicotinamide is a major hurdle to address. The famous investment bank Bank of America Merrill Lynch forecasts that the global anti-aging industry has a huge potential market of up to $ 600 billion. Realize the immortal dream with technology Biological immortality from life-prolonging technology only helps people have a few decades of life expectancy, which is not the final destination of the human future. Now, the new achievements of artificial intelligence (AI) will open up a promising direction. The move from Elon Musk’s computer-brain research recently went beyond the experimental basis, showing that the line between humans and AI is almost broken. From the idea that was once thought to be crazy, the research achievements of Elon Musk and scientists were able to initially modify human limitations. The first trials have been effective in patients with polio, the next challenge that this project aims to be to break human limits … Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface opens the door to breaking human boundaries After brain-computer interfaces, gene editing, nano-robots or the advent of an artificial heart, the new achievements add new magical weapons to the realm of life-prolonging technology. The company’s most recent achievement Promobot has released a new robot model developed by artificial intelligence covered entirely with artificial leather. This robot can express more than 600 expressions by making eye, eyebrow, lip and body movements similar to a real person. If it is possible to combine with medical nanotechnology or cloning based on cloning techniques, create living individuals with genetically identical multicellular structure using metamaterial metamaterials, at the same time In terms of human intelligence, consciousness, and memory, such as the Avatar Project (or Project of Life) by tycoon Dmitry Itskov, that’s when people can literally become immortal and dream “wisdom. “artificial intelligence” will become a reality. Some futurists say that before our bodies can achieve immortality, we can fully connect our thoughts with the mechanical world, and we will live well in the cloud. Even a Swedish funeral company has been looking for volunteers to allow deceased loved ones to be tested in hopes of creating robotic copies of their loved ones. In the near future, humans will be able to store their consciousness on hardware, meaning the portal to digital immortality has opened up.

According to Antonio Belloni, CEO of blockchain technology LVMH will provide an encrypted certificate to help users feel secure about their transactions. Louis Vuitton will use blockchain to combat counterfeiting. Photo: SCMP. Given the complex structure of the blockchain, these certificates cannot be hacked or modified by outside sources. The counterfeiting situation has caused billions of dollars in losses for the big fashion brands. According to the company Frontier Economics , the total transaction value of counterfeit goods reached 991 billion USD in 2022, double the level in 2013. This includes counterfeits in the luxury goods, consumer goods and medicine sectors. Jewelry brand Cartier tested the technology for its product return policy. Customers only need to capture the status of the product before exchange and upload it to the blockchain system to prove that the product they sent to the company has not been swapped or damaged. “A simple model but helps to strengthen the trust between us and the customer,” said Cyrille Vigneron, CEO of Cartier. He also said that auctions should also use the same technology for items with great value. Blockchain technology is being used by fashion brands. Photo: icontechnic. According to Belloni, the blockchain model should be set as the industry-wide standard. Aura Blockchain, the main platform of the project, has contacted many other luxury brands. Subsidiaries of LVMH such as Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, and Hublot have started experimenting with blockchain technology. The next candidate to be tested is most likely the jewelry brand Tiffany, also a member of the group. “Trust is at the core of this industry, and we will do our best to preserve it,” says Belloni. In addition, customers can also sell used brands more easily and transparently thanks to the benefits of blockchain.

Developed by a small group of the most talented vaccine scientists on the planet and industrially produced by the leading pharmaceutical giant with many prestigious certifications, Vaxzevria (the official new name for the Oxford / AstraZeneca vaccine in Europe) has been making hot headlines for many months. But not the kind that manufacturers have high expectations for. Months later, the manufacturer was not only caught in the political conflict between the EU and the UK, but also by the increasingly complicated conflicts. As a result, many governments around the world have recovered parts of Vaxzevria (some countries call it Covishield). Even when the third wave of outbreaks broke out in Germany and the EU, followed by a number of people claiming they wanted to be injected with any vaccine except for AstraZeneca. What’s wrong with that? The following survey by reporters Der Spiegel has reorganized the stories surrounding AstraZeneca in recent weeks to envision the disaster facing not only the pharmaceutical company but also many other countries. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (center) in an AstraZeneca vaccine factory. The Story of AstraZeneca The story of Vaxzevria begins at the Faculty of Medicine Nuffield, a research center on the eastern edge of the University of Oxford city. On January 30, 2020, a group of prominent researchers gathered there, just one day before the Brexit event and one day before the first two COVID-19 infections were announced in the UK, to be exact. is in York, 300 km away. For weeks, researchers continuously watched news about an outbreak of a virus in Wuhan (China), in a restless mood. As Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s governmental capacities are fully focused on leaving the EU, scientists at Oxford discuss how they can do to save the world. Among those present that day was Sarah Gilbert (a mediocre professor at the Jenner Institute) who was experimenting with yeast in a brewing research laboratory before becoming a world-renowned vaccine expert. Ms. Gilbert has researched on vaccines against malaria, Ebola and MERS, and is also preparing vaccines for “Disease X” – the next major pandemic that scientists are working on. . Ms. Gilbert (who has been studying the SARS-CoV-2 genetic code for weeks) has surprised colleagues by asserting that a vaccine will soon be available. At the time, Ms. Gilbert was working on phase 2 of Phase 1 clinical trials of a vaccine against MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) caused by a virus in the coronavirus family. By March 2020, Oxford experts have completed the first batch of new vaccines used to destroy SARS-CoV-2. The swine clinical trials in Surrey County have shown promising results. But obviously a huge amount of vaccine is needed, as much as possible. So Oxford started looking for partners in the pharmaceutical industry, and the first choice was pharmaceutical giant Merck (USA). But because Mr. Donald Trump’s “America First” thought made the British hesitant when working with Americans and the deal with Merck broke down. Speaking later on LBC radio, UK Health Minister Matt Hancock posted on the forum explaining that he did not want to enter into a contract that would allow the first batch of Oxford vaccine to be given to other countries. In April 2020, AstraZeneca’s Anglo-Swedish joint idea was born. Mr. Pascal Soriot, CEO of AstraZeneca. Pascal Soriot and AstraZeneca When Pascal Soriot took over AstraZeneca in 2012, the company was at a bottom: stock prices plummeted, and the risk of losing its drug patents. Soriot is deep into AstraZeneca: instead of reducing costs, he invested in product development, bought more companies, and resisted Pfizer’s American acquisitions. Today, AstraZeneca is the 2nd largest company in the UK. At the age of 61, Mr. Soriot soon learned to build himself. Raised up in the Paris suburbs and his father passed away when his son Soriot turned 20 years old. Soriot then enrolled in the Paris Business School (HEC) and entered the pharmaceutical industry. In 2020, AstraZeneca’s CEO Soriot announced that his company was planning to tackle a very difficult public health problem: producing vaccines against COVID-19. AstraZeneca initially announced a partnership with Sarah Gilbert and other Oxford scientists. AstraZeneca plans to export vaccines globally at prices ranging from $ 2 to $ 5, and aims that poor countries will have access to vaccines as quickly and equally as possible. At the same time, Soriot also assured Prime Minister Boris Johnson that would provide the first and exclusive large quantity of vaccine to the UK. However, the AstraZeneca staff said that Soriot was subjective in not considering the possible consequences of failure. Without hesitation, Soriot approaches the vaccine strategy as it does with all of its projects. AstraZeneca is committed to producing 300 million doses of the vaccine for the EU by mid-2021, as well as another 100 million doses for the UK. AstraZeneca is producing Vaxzevria in at least four plants in Europe; Two of them are Oxford Biomedica and Cobra Biologics (both located in the UK); The other two facilities are Thermo Fisher and Halix (located in Belgium and the Netherlands). The four factories are operated by subcontractors, not by AstraZeneca. And at least two of them have had problems right from the start. At first, Thermo Fisher produced fewer vaccines than expected. And Cobra Biologics does not work synchronously. The Dutch health expert, Wilbert Bannenberg, was not surprised by AstraZeneca’s vaccine production glitch when it came to the hundreds of ingredients used in vaccines like Vaxzevria, even with small deviations in the ingredients. The raw material also causes the finished product to be discarded. By the end of 2020, it was clear that AstraZeneca was having difficulty in the contracts it had to make. Soriot is wondering whether to leave the UK or leave the EU. And the owner of Downing Street began to form a specialized vaccine force consisting of famous experts and scientists. Led by biochemist and venture capitalist Kate Bingham, the force not only created multipurpose vaccines for the British, but also built the UK vaccine industry. In other words, the UK offered vaccine developers an offer they could hardly turn down. Gambling customers’ trust Vaxzevria is the third vaccine to be approved in Europe, after BioNTech / Pfizer and Moderna. But by the fall of 2020 it appears that AstraZeneca’s pandemic studies have become inaccurate. For example, about 3,000 test subjects received half an injection for their first phase, and a full dose for the second injection. Both Oxford and AstraZeneca disagreed in the notion that half the dose was an attempt to act. good idea. AstraZeneca has been criticized because it basically ended up calculating the mean of the data for different groups of test subjects. An even bigger problem is the lack of seniors to include in the study. The Standing Committee on Immunization (STIKO) of the Robert Koch Institute (Germany’s center for disease control) initially recommended AstraZeneca only test 18 to 64 years old, and invisibly turned the island. Inoculation in Germany is wrong. With a feeling of discomfort from a congestion in the vaccine supply, and not yet on any scientific basis, but French President Emmanuel Macron has declared the AstraZeneca vaccine “does not budge at all for people over 65” . Since that time, the vaccine has been ranked 2 in every European country except the UK. In the US, the AstraZeneca vaccine has not even been approved even though President Trump ordered 300 million doses required by the end of May 2020. At first it seemed that AstraZeneca was not completely transparent with Americans when covering the truth about A test subject fell ill at an early stage of the trial. But that is not the last malfunction. In March 2021, AstraZeneca announced that its vaccine was 79% effective in preventing symptomatic infections. But US officials believe that the pharmaceutical company’s data is out of date and may falsify the results. In March 2021, news began to circulate threatening to destroy confidence in AstraZeneca. In some countries, people vaccinated with the Vaxzevria vaccine have developed an embolism caused by a blood clot in the brain, also known as sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT). On 29 March 2021, the Paul Ehrlich Institute (German institution of health management) recorded 31 cases of CSV out of 2.7 million vaccinated people in Germany. Most affected young women. 9 people died. Fearful, some countries have now ended contact with AstraZeneca. Until recently, the European Medicines Agency (EUMA) admitted for the first time that there is a link between thrombosis and Vaxzevria, but EUMA still recommends the Vaxzevria vaccine for all age groups. According to a survey, 23% of French people consider Vaxzevria safe, in Germany it is 32%. Norway and Denmark stopped using the vaccine Vaxzevria. Thrombosis and death were also seen in Britain for the first time. Oxford University has suspended a vaccine trial in children. Experts are on the verge of despair. Ms. Nina Gatter (a vaccinator from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) criticized AstraZeneca when saying that the company did not properly display concerns from the skeptical psychology of public opinion. In Europe, there has been growing skepticism and has delayed the vaccination campaign. Many were vaccinated later than planned, while others used different vaccines. Consequences affect the chain elsewhere. The Covax initiative is currently heavily dependent on the AstraZeneca vaccine. The consequences of this lack of trust can be seen in South Africa. The government stopped vaccinating people after it discovered a mutation. The slow results of the COVID-19 vaccinations in South Africa, meaning substances created with the hope of saving the world, are now piled up in stock.

Drug shortages and medical hypoxia in India when the “tsunami” of COVID-19 swept through unintentionally to help the mercenaries, although many volunteers are still trying to support people on Twitter and Instagram. In the eastern Indian city of Patna, Pranay Puji runs from pharmacy to pharmacy looking for remdesivir for his seriously ill mother. The lack of oxygen in Indian hospitals is severe. (Artwork: Times of India) Finally, a pharmacist told him that if he wanted to buy this drug he had to go to the black market. The supply is offered at 100,000 rupees (1,340 USD), 30 times more expensive than the normal price and 3 times the average monthly income of an office worker in India. Punj then got the medicine from a distant relative whose wife just died of COVID-19. But the “nightmare” has only just begun. In the middle of the night, he received a phone call informing the hospital was running out of oxygen, pushing his mother’s situation into a more pressing situation. “A few hours ago, we managed to give my mother a very expensive hospital bed in a private hospital and move her there.” , I said. Similar heartbreaking stories unfold across India. Desperate people went to social media to ask for support with beds, oxygen and medicine. Although “Pharmacy of the world”, Indian drug manufacturers are unable to meet demand for antivirals such as remdesivir and favipiravir. In the northern city of Lucknow, Mr. Ahmed Abbas has just bought a 46-liter oxygen tank for 45,000 rubles ($ 602), nine times more expensive than the normal price. “They told me to pay first and come to them to pick up the goods the next day”, Abbas said. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is being criticized for allowing mass events during the epidemic, said on April 20 that India was “making an effort” to increase supplies of medical goods. “One solution to this crisis is to create a stockpile of antiviral drugs when case numbers are low, but that has not been done.” , Says Raman GaiGaik, infectious disease specialist at Sahyadri Hospital, Pune. The remdesivir manufacturers responded Indian Express Last week the government asked them to stop production from January when the number of infections dropped. As the number of cases increased at a record speed, the Indian government did not take much action while health workers and residents were worried. “My friend is desperate … we tried all the government help lines but no one responded to (and) most of the oxygen providers turned off the phone”, Zain Zaidi, sales manager at a hotel in Lucknow said. “I just found a supplier but he charges 20,000 rupees. I have to buy it no matter what.” The 34-year-old man told AFP in a shocked voice before hanging up. Sheet Times of India reported that the average cost of an oxygen tank has “skyrocketed”, to 20,000 to 25,000 rupees, about 250-330 dollars. The viral advertisement on the oxygen tank costs 30,000 rupees (about 400 USD). Another offered it for 35,000 rupees, about $ 460. According to World Bank data, the gross national income per capita (GNI) in India is $ 2,120 per year. India is not the only country lacking oxygen. The WHO said 25 countries around the world reported a spike in oxygen demand, mainly in Africa. Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Egypt, Nigeria and other countries all reported equipment shortages as the number of COVID-19 cases increased, and more people turned to the black market. According to WHO estimates, more than half a million COVID-19 patients need daily oxygen therapy. That means 1.1 million oxygen cylinders per day.

Asparagus can be used to process into many delicious dishes such as: asparagus salad, sauteed asparagus with beef, chicken, shrimp, or grilled dishes, stews, soups, salads … The crisp crunch of the vegetables mingles with the natural sweetness of the meat to create a nutritious and attractive dish. When processing, wash it thoroughly and thoroughly. Should split bamboo shoots to cook will absorb more spices. The other way is: young asparagus is very crunchy. You can bend the stalks to get the young part. The rest, can add a little bit of sugar to cook drinking water, has a diuretic and detoxifying effect for the liver very well. If you cannot cook immediately, you can dry the asparagus to save it. Asparagus soup, baby corn: Cut asparagus and wash, cut baby corn into pieces. Add asparagus, corn, crab meat together, stir quickly, pour in broth and spices and boil. The beaten eggs slowly pour into the pot and stir quickly to dissolve, gently pour the dissolved corn starch mixture with a little water into the pot and stir well. Bring to a boil until the dish is slightly sweet. Eat hot. Stir-fried asparagus corn mushroom: Asparagus, corn kernels, washed shiitake mushrooms, soaked in water. Blanch the asparagus and mushrooms in boiling water. Mince the garlic, fry the garlic, put the corn seeds in a pan and fry it with oyster oil until the corn is nearly cooked, then add the shiitake mushrooms to stir fry. Then add the asparagus and stir fry quickly. Eat hot. Stir-fried shrimp with asparagus: Asparagus washed, cut 6-7cm long, split. Cut cabbage 6-7cm long. Cut carrots diagonally, then cut into pieces 6-7cm long. Thinly sliced ​​garlic. Add garlic to fry and then add shrimp and stir fry quickly until the shrimp are cooked, then scoop out to a plate, set aside. Stir fry the carrots, add a little water to soften the carrots and do not burn the pan. Then pour the asparagus into the sauté. Finally, add the cabbage and the shrimp and stir-fry them quickly.

When the movement of young workers to big cities for work takes place quickly, it leaves a “headache” about human resources serving agricultural production. Modern machine tools are considered as the optimal solution to solve the problem of lack of manual labor in the field. To solve the problem of sowing, seeding machines, rice transplanting machines gradually replace. To deal with the harvest, combine harvester is widely used. For post-harvest preservation, large capacity drying systems are utilized, farmers sell fresh rice directly instead of exposing themselves to sun drying as before … Drone demonstration workshop in Vong Dong commune (Thoai Son) However, although machines support many stages, but with rice care tasks, such as weeding, mixing, fertilizing, spraying pesticides … still need a lot of manual labor. “Each rice crop must be sprayed with many drugs, not to mention the pest must increase the number of sprays. My family cultivates 3ha of land, employs 2 people to spray it for more than half a day, and has to supervise to make sure they spray the fields. The rice was being sprayed in the seed, the rice was trampled down, the recovery was slow, and it looked pity. These days, when it is urgent, it is not easy to find someone to spray drugs ”- said farmer Tran Van Minh (Vong The commune, Thoai Son). For the pesticide spray problem, the use of Drones (unmanned aircraft) as a salvage. Farmer Phan Thanh Bac (Vong Dong commune, Thoai Son) said that his family has more than 5 hectares of rice land, each time he hires someone to spray it is very difficult and takes a lot of time, so he has invested more than half a billion dong to buy Drones. both used for home fields and hired by pesticide spraying services. According to Mr. Bac, if the person carrying the sprayer can take 2-3 hours to finish spraying 1ha of land, with Drone, it only takes … 8 minutes. “Since the introduction of the Drone into the field, it helps to reduce a lot of labor, reduce costs but increase rice yield. Less than 1 year, I have been spraying pesticides for more than 3,200 ha of rice farmers in the district. With the cost of spraying 180,000 VND / ha, after deducting all the costs, I have recovered the capital to buy the original Drone ”- Mr. Bac said. As expected, Mr. Bac will invest in buying an additional drone to expand pesticide spraying service. Need to support farmers Ngoc Anh Food Company Limited (Thoai Son) is a distributor, maintenance and training drone for Dai Thanh Joint Stock Company. Director of Ngoc Anh Food Company Limited Cao Van Tan said that over the past 1 year, the company sold 9 P-GLOALCHECK pesticide spraying aircraft to farmers in the province. Because the selling price is still quite high (from 534-609 million VND / machine), it is mainly sold to farmers with a large field area, first serving their home, then spraying pesticides service. Through practical assessment, Drones can reduce the loss of 30% of pesticides in spraying, reduce labor by about 20 times, save 95-97% of water, limit environmental pollution and more importantly, farmers do not continue. Direct contact with pesticides such as spraying should limit health effects. The special feature of the Drone provided by Dai Thanh is a versatile machine that is not fussy about drugs (dissolved powder, water or oil emulsion), applying centrifugal spray technology to bring high accuracy. The particle when coming out of the nozzle is very small and smooth, helping to reduce the actual amount of water needed while ensuring even surface spread. Centrifugal spray technology makes water droplets swirl, making the contact with pests on the underside of the leaves more effective, the ability to concentrate Drone to spray the drug quickly. Drones are also capable of spraying at night, accurately spraying with the control of on-board spray technology, pest diagnosis application to synchronize data with the aircraft to automatically spray into the pest area. Using Drones, it helps to reduce the losses of 150-200 kg rice / ha compared to conventional spraying because the rice is not trampled. Mr. Vo Thanh Manh (Deputy Head of Technical Department, An Giang Agricultural Extension Center) said that An Giang is the province with the second largest rice production area in the Mekong Delta. agricultural concern. Especially, for nearly 2 years now, the technology of unmanned aircraft spraying pesticides on rice and fruit trees has started to develop quite strongly. This is an activity in the project of implementing high technology application in agricultural cultivation, improving production efficiency for farmers in the province. Although the utility of the Drones has been proven, the problem is that the price of Drones is still high, many farmers are difficult to access. To expand the area served by Drone, it is necessary to have policies for farmers to borrow loans to support interest rates or business units to coordinate with banks to support capital for farmers. That is also how to solve the problem of lack of human resources in agriculture today.

Pho is a dish that hurts expatriates whenever they remember their homeland, is a dish that foreigners who come to Vietnam must definitely taste. The most famous is Hanoi pho. One day in the beginning of the year, a man called to the culinary artist Anh Tuyet earnestly wanted to enjoy the pho flavored with old Hanoi cooked by her own hands. Hanoi beef noodle soup He added that pho is so different now, I can no longer feel the essence of pho. Many people eat just to eat, to eat, not to eat to enjoy. I’m just afraid of the fading of traditional pho and losing its essence. Sympathizing with the enthusiastic guest with pho and also a little bit dissatisfied with Hanoi cuisine, even though she was very busy, Ms. Anh Tuyet accepted the invitation to cook a separate pot of pho according to his wishes. In the middle of January of Mau Tuat year, his family and close friends had the opportunity to enjoy beef noodle soup in the cozy atmosphere of Anh Tuyet restaurant at 25 Ma May (Hanoi). Soft yellow light, a vase of cherry blossoms and a vase of violets with dahlia flowers fill the space with spring colors. After enjoying pho, the guest expressed his satisfaction, did not need to eat, but right from the moment I smelled pho, I saw the “leap” taste, feeling very comfortable. In terms of sense, the slices of beef in the bowl are like falling petals, not slices of meat placed on the map. When I ate the first bite, I felt reassured about the quality, the more delicious the meat, the more delicious it was to eat. Sharing the secret of cooking pho, artist Anh Tuyet said that she did not use her ribs, only simmered the bones for 12 hours, until the bones were as white as lime to meet the requirements, but had to remove the marrow to avoid cholesterol. Fish sauce must be a delicious, sweet taste, not seasoning with main noodles. The broth is fat-free, fragrant with grilled ginger, cinnamon, anise, cardamom …, and beef bones are thoroughly bleached so that the water no longer causes the smell of beef. The beef must be sliced ​​so that after being placed in the bowl and hot with hot water, the pieces of meat hang down, blending together. With the artist Anh Tuyet, to have a delicious dish, she focuses right from the selection of ingredients plus experience and the feat of processing. The most important thing is that she always put all her heart and soul into each dish she cooks. 25 Ma May House (Hanoi) is the place where the artist Anh Tuyet regularly receives those who love the taste of old Hanoi cuisine. In the story of the tea cup on spring day, the artist Anh Tuyet passionately told about the dishes she cooked, about the selection of ingredients, the exquisite presentation, and the delicate way of eating of the old Hanoians … The guests also sympathize with a heart that is always eager to preserve the quintessence of cuisine, always wanting to raise the culinary arts to a new level. For those who have once enjoyed the dishes prepared by Anh Tuyet artist, when leaving will certainly meet her again, not only because of the charm of delicious food but also by her admiration. understanding about culture and human life of Ha Thanh culinary artist.

In the A-share market, there are big bull stocks such as Huaxi Biology, Amec, Huadong Pharmaceutical, and in the Hong Kong stock market, Sihuan Pharmaceutical’s recently represented botulinum toxin product has been approved, and it has also announced that it has entered the track.

Sihuan Pharmaceutical used to be the forefront of domestic generic drugs. However, due to various problems, it has gradually fallen behind. Now, can it be revalued by the style of medical beauty?

1. White poison products bring relatively high growth

First of all, we can see the overall status of Sihuan Pharmaceutical. The company has everything in the pharmaceutical industry. It originally started as a generic drug, but now it has expanded into innovative drugs, CMO, industrial hemp, medical beauty and other fields.

Among them, the layout in the medical beauty industry is the biggest highlight, and it is also the main reason why the company has tripled this year.

Botox is one of the potential markets for domestic medical and aesthetic products. At present, China’s formal Botox market has reached nearly 5 billion, and the growth rate has remained at 20-30% in recent years. The prospects are quite good.

Excluding the formal botulinum toxin market, a considerable part of the botulinum toxin still flows into China through parallel trading channels. Therefore, together with the informal botulinum toxin market, there should be a domestic market space of more than 6 billion yuan.

Previously approved botox products in China were mainly Allergan botox and Lanzhou Hengli, each of which accounted for 50% of the market share. In 2020, two new products have been approved, including the botulinum letybo co-operated by Sihuan Pharmaceutical and Hugel, and Gish from the United Kingdom.

From the effect point of view, the product difference is not particularly large. The best and most expensive is of course botox, but low-priced products also have room for cost performance.

According to some informal investigations, Korean white poison, or letybo, is currently the most widely used parallel product. It has high quality and low price, and has brand protection. It is the product with the highest market share in Korea, a major cosmetic country.

Therefore, Sihuan Pharmaceutical calls out the slogan, and letybo achieves at least double-digit market share within a few years. It is not an emptiness, but has a certain basis. Letybo’s informal market has a considerable scale and has a good awareness. . After the follow-up formal approval, the informal sales of parallel imports will be converted into formal sales, and it will be able to immediately increase the sales to a market of several hundred million yuan. This is also the reason why Sihuan Medicine’s medical aesthetics concept is so popular because of its certainty. Is very high.

However, as far as the botulinum toxin market is concerned, whether the long-term 30% growth will continue, this should be negative.

Because we can see the changes in global sales of botox, it has been declining in recent years. It peaked at around US$3 billion in 2017 and has fallen to around 2.5 billion in 2020.

The botulinum toxin market in the entire United States is about 2 billion to 3 billion US dollars. Therefore, botulinum toxin is not a product with sustainable growth and unlimited ceilings. Taking into account the linear comparison between the US and domestic pharmaceutical markets, the current large pharmaceutical market in the United States is about four times that of China. After China’s economic growth, the Chinese pharmaceutical market can reach the United States in the medium and long term. Half of the pharmaceutical market, so the domestic botulinum toxin market (regular + parallel imports) may be about 1.5 billion US dollars. Even if we optimistically consider letybo’s market share of 20% in the long term, it is about 300 million US dollars, and the sales of 2 billion or so, the profit that can be brought should be about several hundred million.

In the medical aesthetics industry, the logic of Sihuan is still good. The logic of parallel imports ensures that letybo’s sales can increase quickly, and this income volume is comparable to the current income of iMac, but in the long run, a few The profit of 100 million seems to be the ultimate ceiling of this product.

Of course, there will be other products such as hyaluronic acid in the future, but considering that Sihuan’s role is a domestic agent, it cannot be internationalized, nor can it assume the role of a product developer, so in the long run, logic has certain limitations .

2. The outlook for pharmaceutical products remains bleak

The products in the pharmaceutical field have few bright spots. First of all, the company’s revenue of 2.4 billion yuan and 540 million yuan of profit last year have turned losses year-on-year, but we have seen historical data and found that this revenue is the lowest since 2012.

The company’s generic drug business has maintained a steady decline. The approval of its main product cinepazide maleate for new indications for stroke in 2020 seems to bring some new expectations. However, many drugs are still in the monitoring catalog, and the business of supplementary drugs with uncertain efficacy has been eliminated. The long-term high profit margin has been eliminated, and the company’s generic drug research and development has been stagnant for many years. These products are old products for many years. From the side reaction, the company does not have much ability to respond to changes in the industry.

Considering that the company’s current collection of generic drugs with not unique functions, and the revenue of 2.2 billion yuan can still correspond to a profit of about 540 million, the profit margin is still particularly high. Under the tide of centralized procurement, the company’s current products should still have relatively high Under great pressure, in the long run, this business still sees the prospect of gradual decline.

As for the innovative drugs, the company conducts innovative R&D through the acquisition of Xuanzhu Biologics, an innovative drug platform. The current product pipeline is as follows

Source: company information

The current product line is very thin and the market is not large. The leading CDK4/6 inhibitor, the domestic sales of Pfizer’s original research is expected to be about 500 million this year, and Qilu generic drugs are already on the market, and a large number of them are waiting for approval. The company’s products are innovative drugs. If the listing fails to obtain superior results, there is a risk of failure not to be approved, which is not small.

As for the follow-up products, the market space is even smaller, and the target is not new. The company is said to have technical platforms such as ADC and dual-antibody, but those things are too far away. Therefore, the company’s innovative drug business may achieve zero returns.

In addition, the company also has CMO business and industrial hemp business, but there is not much need for analysis.

3. Conclusion

In general, the company’s past was flawed. In the past few years, the suspension of trading due to bribery and the trend of cracking down on supplementary drugs in the pharmaceutical industry made the company unable to cope with the double-kill of a sharp decline in revenue and profit margins. And now, I haven’t seen that this part of the flaw has been clearly corrected.

Of course, Botox cannot deny its prospects. This is also the result of the company’s accumulation in the past few years. Taking into account the popularity of Korean white poison in the domestic informal market, it is inevitable that it will bring a faster increase in the long term. It may also bring in sales of more than 100 million yuan, and you can look forward to several medical beauty products in the future.

However, the pharmaceutical business still accounts for the bulk of the company’s revenue, and the current profit is basically contributed by the pharmaceutical business. The long-term prospects of this business are bleak. Because of the concept of medical beauty to value the pharmaceutical business, it would be a rather blind approach. Relatively speaking, the current market value of more than 20 billion corresponds to a profit of 500 million in the pharmaceutical business. Looking at the next few years, Botox will eventually give a profit of several hundred million. Taken together, the current market value is already in the high range.

In fact, as far as pharmaceutical companies are concerned, cmo can give hundreds of billions of market value to be the industry’s first, double-antibody, and adc can achieve technological leadership and can also give hundreds of billions of market value, and innovative drugs can have breakthrough results. Give hundreds of billions, and the leading generic drugs also have a market value of hundreds of billions, and the market value of Allergan is also hundreds of billions.

But for a company with a revenue of 2 billion, it can do everything if it includes the above-mentioned fields and adds an industrial hemp. Strategically speaking, there is a problem.

The popularity of the medical beauty industry actually has certain psychological factors, because investors can intuitively observe it in life, and labels such as women, consumption, and beauty are easily linked to high profits.

But in fact, seeing its global growth rate and observing the trend of Allergan or Hugel in recent years, it is found that the medical beauty track is also limited. The performance is very general in the entire pharmaceutical industry or the consumer goods industry. Track tuyere can affect short-term trends, but long-term performance is determined.

Tests with neutrobots have been performed quite successfully in mice. It can use intelligent biological camouflage and overcome difficult barriers to get closer to the source of the disease in the body and offer the best treatment. The Preeminence of New Micro Robots Microbots are nothing new, it’s like disguising robots into bacteria or using magnets to move them across blood vessels. But what sets Chinese scientists’ new micro-robot designs apart from the crowd is that it can overcome one of the body’s toughest biological barriers, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) ​​- a single layer. extremely high selectivity protection. Designed to stop pathogens and allow only nutrients to penetrate, BBB is the challenge of micro-robots that the body often considers an outside invader. It is very difficult for micro robots to cross this last line of defense and get closer to the hidden tumors behind it. One author of the above study is Professor Zhiguang Wu at Harbin Institute of Technology specializing in nanotechnology. The new micro-robots, he said, can overcome obstacles that hamper many conventional medical treatments. According to Professor Wu, “the passive diffusion of conventional drugs is subjected to a long, ineffective period of time and blocks biological barriers, which can lead to strong side effects. Meanwhile, the new swimming micro-robot / nano-robot, can move into hard-to-reach tissues using their propulsion, load different drugs and actively swim to diseased sites to transporting drugs ”. This is very important because when it comes to fighting cancer because the more targeted the treatment the better. It is especially true when it comes to brain tumors. Because the tumor is in a difficult position in the brain and BBB’s strong protection, drug treatment can be difficult, and removing the tumor requires brain surgery. Even then, usually only 90% of the tumor can actually be removed. In the past, micro robots were inspired by the way a bacteria or sperm move through the body. All light, acoustics and magnetic fields are used to propel them along the host’s body. Through it, a variety of biomedical tasks can be performed, including cutting the membrane, retaining the distributed drug in the gastrointestinal tract, and distributing the drug through the eye dropper. However, even though the researchers control the motion of these micro-robots more than typical drugs in the body, most micro-robotic designs still face one major hurdle: the body’s immune system, especially BBB. To fool BBB’s defense systems, scientists have designed a new micro-robot that is biologically camouflaged to “sneak through” the fence without being detected. The neutrobots are disguised and introduced into the bloodstream. How does the new micro robot work? The use of self-propelled, drug-dispensing micro-robots could open the door for scientists to get closer and more individual-based access to tumor treatment than oral or given medication. permission before. To treat glioma, a type of brain cancer, in mice, Professor Wu and colleagues have designed neutrobot-based micro-robots that can be controlled with a magnetic field. First, they created nanoparticles from a gel embedded with magnetic iron oxide particles, and the popular cancer drug paclitaxel. Next, these nanoparticles were encased in a disguised E. coli bacterial membrane. Disguised as harmful bacteria, these nanoparticles are submerged by in vitro mouse neutrophils much more easily than the bare nanoparticles that are not camouflaged. The researchers found that the camouflage also prevented drug leakage and made these particles less toxic to neutrophils. The research team tested the neutrobots’ ability to navigate and deliver drugs in vitro. Under the control of a rotating magnetic field, the neutrobots reach a speed of 16.4 µm / second – about 50 times faster than the natural neutrophil. By tracking the neutrobots under the microscope, the scientists can let them travel in complex directions on the artificial substrate. In their trials, the team showed that their neutrobots were able to successfully penetrate mouse BBBs to bring the drug into brain tumors. Despite these successes, scientists still have many things to do before they can be applied to humans. One issue that needs to be fixed, the authors explain, is how to better track each neutrobot as they pass through the body. Right now magnetic resonance imaging can track neutrobot groups as they move but cannot track individuals. “Our research has verified that treatment with neutrobots can prolong survival in mice with gliomas. Therefore, it may not be too long to bring stories about micro-robots in science fiction to reality, ”said Professor Wu.

Once a concept only in the imagination, people are getting closer and closer to immortality thanks to the achievements of modern science and technology … According to Chronicles of Sima Qian, in 219 BC, Qin Shihuang, fearing death, assigned the body to seek the secret of immortality. Regrettably, the dream of the first Emperor to unify China did not come true. Later, oil king John Davison Rockefeller – considered the richest American of all time – became the first person to successfully extend life with six heart changes in 38 years. These are two of the many examples of human desire to become immortal. That desire is becoming more and more burning, and based on the reality and the achievements of current science and technology, one day, man’s immortal dream will come true … Technology that prolongs life For scientists, human immortality is also an area of ​​research that receives a lot of attention. Although negating the immortality hypothesis from some religious point of view, atheists maintain Albert Einstein’s theory of relative immortality. In addition, modern scientific achievements are gradually proving the concept of relative immortality of the individual through physical immortality and biological immortality, instead of the subconscious “having death becomes immortal”. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the development of life-prolonging intervention technology has made great progress. Sinclair, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, thinks we are witnessing new developments in technology and one day all humans can live to be 150 years old .. In medicine, gene therapies have long been used to help people regenerate themselves and fight all diseases. The current achievements of gene implantation, reversing the aging process by enzyme and NAD, effects on chromosomes or stem cells … are still quite limited. While it is possible to maintain a person’s lifespan for up to 15%, or even longer, the distance to immortality is a long way to go. In contrast, studies such as Syncardia and Carmat artificial hearts that have just been approved for commercial use will make the human immortality process more and more realistic. This artificial heart possesses a structure similar to that of a human heart and can automatically adjust the rate of blood flow throughout the body. They can also be replaced in the face of depletion and self-adapting to the changing mechanisms of life. An artificial heart works similarly to a human heart Currently, 81 patients have received artificial heart transplants worldwide. Not only the artificial heart, the famous academic journal Nature recently selected the “Seven Major Aging Intervention Technologies,” including a β-nicotinamide derivative from the Harvard laboratory, which was put into experiment. Sinclair, who discovered how the substance works, revealed that there is an important coenzyme called NAD +, which is equivalent to the body’s energy production plant, but its content is not static and will decrease with age. This is the cause of problems like aging and depression. Scientists have discovered the β-nicotinamide derivative adds enzyme levels to longevity. However, the price barrier of β-nicotinamide is a major hurdle to address. The famous investment bank Bank of America Merrill Lynch forecasts that the global anti-aging industry has a huge potential market of up to $ 600 billion. Realize the immortal dream with technology Biological immortality from life-prolonging technology only helps people have a few decades of life expectancy, which is not the final destination of the human future. Now, the new achievements of artificial intelligence (AI) will open up a promising direction. The move from Elon Musk’s computer-brain research recently went beyond the experimental basis, showing that the line between humans and AI is almost broken. From the idea that was once thought to be crazy, the research achievements of Elon Musk and scientists were able to initially modify human limitations. The first trials have been effective in patients with polio, the next challenge that this project aims to be to break human limits … Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface opens the door to breaking human boundaries After brain-computer interfaces, gene editing, nano-robots or the advent of an artificial heart, the new achievements add new magical weapons to the realm of life-prolonging technology. The company’s most recent achievement Promobot has released a new robot model developed by artificial intelligence covered entirely with artificial leather. This robot can express more than 600 expressions by making eye, eyebrow, lip and body movements similar to a real person. If it is possible to combine with medical nanotechnology or cloning based on cloning techniques, create living individuals with genetically identical multicellular structure using metamaterial metamaterials, at the same time In terms of human intelligence, consciousness, and memory, such as the Avatar Project (or Project of Life) by tycoon Dmitry Itskov, that’s when people can literally become immortal and dream “wisdom. “artificial intelligence” will become a reality. Some futurists say that before our bodies can achieve immortality, we can fully connect our thoughts with the mechanical world, and we will live well in the cloud. Even a Swedish funeral company has been looking for volunteers to allow deceased loved ones to be tested in hopes of creating robotic copies of their loved ones. In the near future, humans will be able to store their consciousness on hardware, meaning the portal to digital immortality has opened up.

AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 Vaccine. (Photo: VNA broadcast) Regarding the issue of vaccine supplies of the European Union (EU), on April 18, the European Commissioner for the internal market Thierry Breton left open the possibility that the EU could decide not to continue ordering. vaccine of AstraZeneca due to a later than agreed upon delivery. The EU initially ordered 120 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine for 27 member countries in the first quarter of 2021 and 180 million doses in the second quarter of 2021. However, so far AstraZeneca has only delivered 30 million doses and is expected to have only 70 million more doses in the next quarter. Mr. Breton affirmed that there is currently no certainty and the EU is still negotiating with AstraZeneca. However, he stressed that no matter what the decision is not due to medical or epidemiological reasons, and affirms that the AstraZeneca vaccine brings more benefits than risks. U] Previously, on April 16, French Industry Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher also mentioned the possibility that the EU will not renew the contract with AstraZeneca and both. Johnson & Johnson in the year 2022. Some EU countries have stopped using the AstraZeneca vaccine due to concerns about the risk of side effects occurring thrombosis. However, most countries have resumed their AstraZeneca vaccination program after the European Drug Administration (EMA) confirmed the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.

I am Nguyen Thi Lien, retired female soldier with the rank of major. Many people are supposed to settle in old age at this time, but for me this is the time to fulfill my dream of owning a farm that I have cherished for a long time. The predestination of farming came to me very casually. Once I accidentally saw the worm raising techniques of expert Nguyen Lan Hung and read the document translated by former Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Cong Tan, I decided to explore the model of raising earthworms. I am more and more passionate about this job. The reality of raising earthworms is quite simple. Worms feed are mainly agricultural by-products such as buffalo, cow, pig, and chicken manure … Worms on the farm are processed in many forms such as: dried worms, worms epidemic, earthworms, and powdered worms. Dried cinnamon, frozen earthworms … Especially, earthworms are also very effective food and medicine. To find the complete wormwood recipe, I had to learn from a lot of documents. In which, there is a remedy of Mr. Nguyen An Dinh, the son of Mr. Nguyen An Ninh, a famous revolutionary in the early twentieth century. Mr. Dinh also used earthworms, but they are earthworms (geese) to cure dengue fever during the war years in the country. After a period of about 45 days, I proceed to harvest the worms. When harvested, just pick up cow dung on a canvas and leave it outdoors where there is a lot of light, worms will go down because they like the dark. The worms are nearly the size of chopsticks, about 20 cm long, and washed away. Worms are treated by boiling method and brought into the oven with green beans to shrink. Drying takes 15 to 16 hours. The process of treating fresh worms to this stage, usually takes about 2 days. One of the most important worms that I created was to put in a pot of gold stars, bring it down and crush it by hand. After crushed earthworms, they will be canned and preserved. All steps are done by myself and by the people. In particular, the box will have a barcode, buyers can check the origin and complete information of the product. In fact, my goal is not to make money from earthworms because the money earned from selling food worms and medicinal worms is just enough to pay and buy by-products as food for them. The main income of the farm today is still raising pigs, raising chickens with earthworms with good quality and clean meat. Pigs raised by earthworms have very good resistance, less disease and the smell of meat is very delicious and delicious. Each month I feed the clean food stores in Hanoi about 50-60 pigs. The total income of the whole farm from selling earthworms, pork, and chickens is about 400-500 million / month. I also let pigs listen to French music, the music with a very wonderful, soothing, deep melody … will help the pigs relieve stress effectively and improve the quality of meat. Currently, clean pork from my farm is present at a number of big chains and supermarkets in Hanoi.

It happened in early 2018 at the Oregon College of Health and Science in Portland, Oregon (USA). 26-year-old medical student Warren Nielsen and four friends in the group prepare to perform the surgery of the donated body in the autopsy room. The body that the Nielsen group operated on was that of Rose Marie Bentley, who died in 2017 at the age of 99. Rose died of natural causes, not illness or accident. Before her death, she expressed her wish to donate her body to medicine. The woman with visceral reversal and was the longest living person with the condition ever recorded. But as soon as she operated the donated body of Mrs. Bentley, Warren Nielsen and his group were very shocked. They felt something was very strange because what they saw seemed completely contrary to the theory learned in the syllabus. “ I know something happened, but it took us a while to determine the composition of her organs “, says Cameron Walker anatomy professor at the Oregon College of Health and Science. “ Bentley’s veins are on the left side, instead of pouring directly into the heart. Her veins continued across the diaphragm, along the thoracic vertebrae, up and around on the aorta before pouring into the right side of the heart. Our normal bodies are never like that “, Walker explained. A live image of Mrs. Bentley. It was not the only anomaly that surgeon Cameron Walker and his students found in Mrs. Bentley’s body. Her right lung had only two lobes, instead of the usual three, while her heart’s right atrium was twice the size of normal. A series of questions were asked: Why is Mrs. Bentley’s stomach on the right side and not the left side? Her liver is on the left, not the right side? Likewise, is the spleen on the right side instead of the left and organs that should be in the abdomen found in the chest cavity? And there are many other abnormalities inside the body, including part of the stomach protruding from the diaphragm and strange veins … Why? The cause of Bentley’s internal upheaval may come from a congenital condition called Situs inversus – in which most of the vital organs are reversed, almost like a mirror inside the body. The picture shows abnormalities in the internal position of Mrs. Bentley. That, along with a host of other bizarre anomalies, make Mrs. Bentley a “mutant” and it will make her name recorded in the history of world literature. This strange mutation can occur between days 30 and 45 of pregnancy, he added, but no one knows why. It is estimated that for every 10,000-22,000 births, only one will experience Situs inversus. Due to heart defects, only 5% to 13% of those children live beyond the age of 5 years. Records have been documented in a boy who lived to the age of 13 and one who lived until the age of 73. The reversal of the internal organs will affect the health of the person who has it, so the majority of children with Situs inversus do not survive to adulthood. So the fact that Mrs. Bentley lived to the age of 99 is almost an unbelievable miracle. Mutants with normal life Photo: Internet Mrs. Bentley has 5 children, 14 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren and 11 children, but no one, not even the 99-year-old old lady, knows about the strange mystery inside her body. Louise Allee, one of Mrs. Bentley’s five children, shared that her mother was a lover of science. Perhaps that is the reason why Mrs. Bentley decided to dedicate her body to research. “ My mom will think that’s a great thing she can do. She will smile in heaven when she learns about her difference, especially when the difference is so meaningful. “Said Louise Allee. An image of a young Mrs. Bentley. “ Despite suffering from chronic heartburn (possibly due to the abnormal stomach position) my mother never complained of any discomfort in her body. We have no reason to believe there was such a strange thing in my mother’s body. My mother is always very healthy. She often took us to Campfire Girls, fishing, swimming. My mother deserves to be a great swimmer “Mrs. Bentley’s third child, Ginger Robbins, said. In fact, there was a time when a doctor was unable to locate the appendix for Mrs. Bentley. At that time, the doctor only noted the family that her appendix was in an unusual position. The doctor also did not check on other organs, so things gradually went into oblivion.

Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic last year, traditional Chinese medicine and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine have played an important role in clinical treatment and have also provided new opportunities for the development of Chinese medicine companies. At the beginning of this year, the General Office of the State Council issued a notice on several policy measures to speed up the development of Chinese medicine characteristics, injecting development momentum into the Chinese medicine industry at the policy level.

Regarding the current market environment faced by the Chinese medicine industry, Jack Ma analyzed in his speech that as Western patent medicines face a decline in gross profit after “purchasing in quantities”, Chinese medicine will become a special supplement in the future. Regarding the development of traditional Chinese medicine, Ma Yun summed it up as “four regressions”: classic return, ecological return, quality return, and academic return. At the same time, the future development of traditional Chinese medicine will be a “classic road to large varieties”.

For Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical, the company began to study how to promote classic Chinese medicines in 2019, and proposed a “3 minutes to explain classics” in 2020 to empower product sales and retail. Jack Ma explained that the ultimate goal of “Explaining Classics in 3 Minutes” is to clarify the advantages and disease types of classical Chinese medicine in a particularly easy-to-remember and focused way, and to re-explain the essence of Chinese medicine.

In the process of “telling classics in 3 minutes”, Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical established a classic Chinese medicine value evaluation model, and conducted standardized research on the question of “how classic Chinese medicines come from”, including technology and raw materials from multiple perspectives. Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical also studied classic Chinese medicine with experts from various fields, repositioning classic products from the perspective of respecting history and digging into the ancestors, and proposed the “five parts and sixteen methods.” Ma Yun said that Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical has studied classic brands in terms of product positioning, theoretical basis, disease analysis, medication plan, dosage form notes, etc., reflecting the classic value of traditional Chinese medicine.

Compared with the past talk about function and main treatment, Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical has made innovations in the form of educating consumers. It has launched picture books, reading books, videos, shorthand cards, etc., which vividly interpret Chinese patent medicines in multiple forms. Jack Ma said that the purpose of “telling classics in 3 minutes” is to enable employees to speak and empower customers; customers can use it, consumers can accept it, and serve as a drain for the company. This will be a correct “open way” to deliver classic Chinese medicine by audience, level, time, space, and content.

“Ultimately, we want to contribute to the goal of’Healthy China 2030′ through the ‘3 minutes to explain the classics’, and work with our strategic partners to contribute our own strength to the promotion of Chinese medicine culture, the confidence of Chinese medicine culture, and the revival of Chinese medicine culture “Ma Yun said.

The liver and kidney are two organs that excrete drugs, some drugs are eliminated mainly through the liver, others are eliminated mainly by the kidneys. Therefore, when kidney disease, kidney function is impaired, the use of drugs in people with kidney disease has 3 risks, that is, nephrotoxic drugs that decrease kidney function worse.

Second, the drug is eliminated slowly and will accumulate in the body, causing an increased effect.

Third, causing homeostasis due to renal failure, thereby susceptible to drug toxicity even at the appropriate dose.

Some drugs are toxic to the kidneys

With a healthy kidney, when suffering from a certain disease, drugs must be used, the kidneys will be cleaned normally, but for people with kidney disease, especially kidney failure (all kidney functions have been impaired) when Taking certain medications puts you at risk of further kidney damage.

Some drugs can be toxic to the kidneys, especially long-term use, high doses and especially self-medicating for self-healing not under the prescription of the doctor. For example, some antibiotics of the amynoglycoside group (streptomycin, gentamycin, amikacin …), quinolone group (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin …), vancomycin group, cyclin group, cephalosporin group 1, 2 or antifungal (amphotericin B, ketoconazole …) or Vietnamese, Oriental medicine of unknown origin; Contrast drug used for X-ray with high permeability or some cancer treatment chemicals (cisplatin, methotrexate …).

People with kidney damage should pay attention when using the drug.

In addition, some drugs are not directly toxic to the kidneys but cause kidney anemia, reducing glomerular filtration rate or if used long term will cause renal entity failure. For example, antihypertensive drugs, when used in overdose cause hypotension cause renal anemia and impaired glomerular filtration, especially the class of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (indomethacin, diclofenac …), inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis are factors that cause vasodilation leading to kidney anemia.

Note when using drugs in people with kidney problems

We all know, drugs (Western medicine or Vietnamese medicine, Oriental medicine) all have a curative effect and all drugs that are put into the body pass through the kidneys and are filtered here. Therefore, when suffering from kidney disease, especially kidney failure, it is very important to check the function of the kidneys (that is, follow the test order of the doctor) before using the drug to know and know. the exact state of kidney disease, glomerular filtration rate and kidney function must be checked during drug use, especially when taking long-term medication.

Comply with the instructions and instructions when taking drugs of the doctor to avoid adversely affecting the kidneys.

Do not buy, take drugs by yourself or do not change the dosage by yourself or change the drug without consulting your doctor to avoid harming the kidneys due to improper use of the drug.

In addition, drink enough water every day to facilitate drug purification (there are drugs when used need to drink a lot of water to help the kidneys purify drugs better).

Analysis conducted on Roche’s pharmacovigilance database showed 99 cases of serious adverse skin reactions, including 36 cases confirmed by histopathology or according to a specialist’s diagnosis. , in patients taking atezolizumab. About 23,654 patients who were treated in clinical trials and 106,316 after the drug was licensed for circulation in the market were exposed to atezolizumab as of May 17, 2020.

The incidence of serious adverse skin reactions based on laboratory clinical trials with atezolizumab as monotherapy and combination was 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively. A death from toxic epidermal necrolysis has been reported in a 77-year-old patient treated with atezolizumab as monotherapy.

Concerned about the above serious adverse reactions that may occur when taking the drug, Roche Company recommends: If serious adverse skin reactions are suspected, the patient should be referred to a specialist. to be diagnosed and handled appropriately. Treatment with atezolizumab should be discontinued if Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis is suspected. Treatment with atezolizumab should be permanently discontinued if Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis is confirmed, as well as any adverse skin reactions or severe rash at grade 4. Atezolizumab should be used. Caution is given to patients with a history of serious or life-threatening adverse skin reactions during previous treatment with another immunostimulating anticancer drug.

Speaking of Bozhou, its most shining business card is that it is the world-famous “World Capital of Traditional Chinese Medicine”. We know that peony is expensive as a “floral appearance” and has extremely high ornamental and medicinal value. The history of cultivating peony root in Bozhou dates back to the Wei and Jin dynasties, and Bozhou white peony has excellent texture and high medicinal value. It is one of the four famous medicines in Anhui. As a well-known distribution center for white peony roots in the country, the planting area of ​​white peony roots in Bozhou ranks first in the country, and its output accounts for more than 70% of the country’s total output. Of course, there are not only white peony roots, but Bozhou also has a well-known Chinese herbal medicine planting base, and there is currently the world’s largest professional Chinese herbal medicine market, Kangmei Chinese Medicine City. Bozhou has a wide variety of medicinal materials and high quality. It is the first of the four major medical capitals in the country. Boshao, Boju, Bosangpi, and Bo pollen are even recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

As one of the cradles of ancient Chinese civilization and the ancient capital of the “Three Dynasties” with a history of more than 3,000 years, Bozhou has a long history and a rich collection of humanities. It is a famous historical and cultural city with natural and cultural landscapes. It is one of the first batch of excellent tourist cities in the country. “. For thousands of years, this beautiful and fertile land has nurtured countless celebrities and wise men who have made martial arts and shining through the annals of history. There are nearly a hundred of them included in China’s “Dictionary of Celebrities in History” alone. Like “bring the strong men to break the strong formation, and the lyricist at night to give the Chinese house”, the generation of Wei Wu Emperor Cao Cao; “the strategizing, the decisive victory thousands of miles away” Zhang Liang, resourceful and resourceful to prosper the Han industry; respected by the world as a “genius doctor” , Hua Tuo, the “general doctor of common people” and “originator of surgery”; Li Shen, the famous peasant poet in Tang Dynasty; Chen Tuan, the supreme Taoist who was honored as “Mr. Xiyi” by Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty; Xue Fengxiang, the author of “History of Peony” in Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty Acting calligrapher Liang T and so on.

The long history, splendid culture, and the cluster of sages have left many precious cultural relics and historical sites in the ancient city of Bozhou. The Cao Cao Troop Transport Road, built in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is cleverly laid out and well-preserved. It is an underground military battle road built by Cao Cao. It is more than 8,000 meters long and is known as the “Underground Great Wall”. The largest Cao Cao Park in Bozhou City, named after the Cao Cao family tombs in the park, is one of the famous tourist attractions in Bozhou. The Huaxi Building, known as the “Daguan Emperor Temple”, is known as the “Daguan Emperor Temple” with many operas and scripts all over the country.

It can be seen that with such a high cost, just every day the “physicians” carry out treatment for a few dozen or a few hundred patients everywhere, the profit is not a small number, so the “medical healers” “Also extremely generous to spend money on advertising content.

According to advertising experts, with advertisements on the Youtube platform, Google implements a “bidding” feature to choose the preferred display in advertising services. This is a feature that allows advertisers to choose how much they will pay Google when YouTube viewers “click” on the promotional video or watch the specified time. Usually, companies and individuals running professional ads will know how to “bid” with the least amount of money but with the highest efficiency. The usual cost is in the range of 100-200 VND for a time when a viewer visits or watches YouTube for the specified time for the promotional video. However, the video advertising “god of medicine”, the medicine mentioned above has “bid” many times higher, maybe from 500 VND, even 900 VND. Therefore, priority is given to these videos to be rampant.

And the stars are helping?

When the “self-proclaimed gods” receive a negative reaction from the public and have signs of slowing down, the appearance of stars, celebrities, influencers participating in advertising products. “Absolutely effective”, “complete treatment” … are also asking many questionable questions.

Tracking a page promoting a product introduced is a comprehensive solution to “cure” the problem of body odor with the consultation of male singer Đ.T, which is famous for his nourishing hair and nickname ” Not old singer “. Appearing in the sharing video, the male singer said that the X series (including oral tablets and a rolling bottle) with dual effects will “eliminate” the problem of body odor; and X is also the first and only product in the world (!?) containing silver Nano ingredient that acts both inside and out to help reduce more than 90% of sweat and body odor after 1 course. It is not clear how the “special treatment” of the product is, whether it really cures armpit disease as shared by the male artist, but according to the above information, it is confirmed that the advertising content No. 2301/2020 / XNQC-ATTP dated 23 / 07/2020 is issued by the Food Safety Department to the product with the content and function: “Support to improve sweating situation”.

Male singer Đ.T in the product video is said to be able to cure the “wing inflammation” problem.

The 58-year-old NTM shared with a reporter related to the fact that artists participating in online advertising for “drugs” said that she recently encountered many advertisements with different contents from “diabetes pills”, “Stomach effervescent”, … with the appearance of a famous comedian, director of a famous theater and familiar with the audience through his audacious roles on television from 2005 to now on.

In an introduction video about the product “effervescent Y”, the actor said, this is “the No. 01 effervescent tablet in Vietnam, for sure” and the technology application from Japan has the effect of “folding 300 times ”compared to conventional products.

The comedian shared that a product was “300 times more” useful than a conventional product.

The advertising of selling drugs and functional foods with the promise of “cure”, “the perfect solution”, “farewell to the disease”, “root treatment” … has not been verified in terms of quality. The amount, which has not been licensed by the competent agency for advertising, is a violation of the law. So are the stars and celebrities who are participating in the ads with the above content are responsible for the content they have participated in advertising?

Mosquito killer is widely advertised and sold on social networks. Quality how the buyer is difficult to discern. Screenshots

The seasonal weather creates conditions for mosquitoes to breed, including mosquitoes that cause dengue fever. Therefore, many people are interested in mosquito killer products.

* Builds for… mosquito repellent

To prevent dengue fever, Ms. Nguyen Thi Tam (living in Trung Dung Ward, Bien Hoa City) went to an e-commerce site to order a 100ml bottle of mosquito repellent Permethrin 50EC, 100ml capacity for 70,000 VND, recommended by the seller as originating from the UK, recommended by the Ministry of Health. When her children and grandchildren go to work and school, according to the instructions, she mixed the medicine bottle with 5 liters of water and sprayed it from the house to the garden. After nearly a day of spraying, from morning to afternoon when her family members returned home, everyone was still under construction because they could not stand the strong, stinking smell of pesticides that lurked in the house. Seeing that, her family had to turn on the fan, open the door wide to let the smell of medicine go away before they dared to enter the house.

Director of the Center for Disease Control of Bach Thai Binh province recommends that, when spraying mosquito repellent, there are some points to note: choose the time of spraying when no one is at home. When spraying should go backwards from the inside out to avoid contact with chemicals. Only return home 30-60 minutes after spraying; The elderly, pregnant women and children should return home after 2-4 hours. When spraying, cover cooking utensils, food, drinking water …

As noted by the reporter of Dong Nai Newspaper, at present, there are many probiotics sold on the market to kill mosquitoes and other insects. These products are very diverse, the type commonly used in many households today is the spray bottle and mosquito incense. In addition, there are products to kill mosquitoes with water or powder, mixed with water to spray on a wider area. However, the market for mosquito repellants is also confusing, people who do not pay attention or have a cheap ham, it is easy to buy toxic chemicals under the label of “mosquito repellant” that is safe for people.

Mr. Nam Nghia, a person who has been selling cleaning chemicals for many years at Bien Hoa market (Bien Hoa city), said that foreign mosquito repellants are often counterfeited. Counterfeit drugs are made in 2 forms: the correct form of the biological product to kill mosquitoes, but the buyers dilute it, 1 bottle into 2-3 bottles to make a profit, this type reduces the effectiveness of mosquito killing but less dangerous for people. The second is a fake medicine made from a pesticide, extracted in small bottles, labeled with a fake mosquito killer and sold at a cheaper price, which is very toxic.

According to Mr. Nam Nghia, the mosquito repellent brand Permethrin 50EC is selling very well because of its good effect. If the goods are from the UK, the smell is light, does not cause harm to people, the price is about 250 thousand VND / 100ml bottle. This type is being counterfeited the most and only sells for 1/3 of the correct price. To identify the genuine drug Permethrin 50EC is a white bottle cap with a dark brown shell, on the bottom of the bottle there is a logo of the product’s name embossed, and the fake is not.

* Use a safe mosquito repellant

“There is no mosquito repellent that is absolutely safe for human health, even if it is a real mosquito killer. Because all current mosquito repellents or repellents are chemicals, they also have certain harms to users, if used incorrectly, especially for the elderly, pregnant women and children. children. It is more dangerous if using fake mosquito repellent as bottled insecticide, the harm will be unpredictable ”- Dr. Bach Thai Binh, Director of Provincial Center for Disease Control confirmed.

According to Dr. Bach Thai Binh, in principle when spraying mosquito repellent, chemicals will cling to the contact surface of objects and on the user’s skin if there is no good isolation or protection when spraying. If using a concentrated drug on a narrow area, it is easy to risk allergies or skin irritation such as erythema, itching, burning skin or swelling of the eyes, sneezing, runny nose … If using the drug Using insecticides to kill mosquitoes will increase the likelihood of chemical poisoning. Mildness may cause dizziness, vomiting; severe breathing can lead to difficulty breathing, coma. When you encounter mild chemical contamination situations, you should take a shower immediately to remove any chemical particles on your skin. In severe cases, it is necessary to bring the patient to the nearest medical facility.

Currently, there are many types of mosquito repellent on the market and mosquito repellent chemical spraying service. People can use drugs or rent services, but should buy drugs at stores and agents with clear addresses, labels, origins, standards certification stamps. Should not be cheap but buy floating goods in the market. If you are looking for a mosquito spraying service, you should hire a company that is reputable and has specific addresses.

However, according to Dr. Bach Thai Binh, spraying chemicals to kill mosquitoes is only a temporary urgent solution. Basically, you should choose a solution to regularly clean the living area and the area around where you live such as: clearing the bushes where mosquitoes live; cap tightly the canals, drains, water jars, pots, dump water in discarded materials … to kill larvae; sleeping should be blind.
