[quick news] on November 8, 2018, the founder of "theory of acid and alkali constitution" was fined $105 million

The San Diego court recently awarded Robert O young $105 million in damages for a cancer patient Robert O'Young is the founder of the theory of acid-base constitution According to the theory, most of human diseases are caused by "acid constitution" Acid-base balance can cure diseases and restore health Robert O'Young's cancer therapy is to give cancer patients an intravenous injection of $500 solution, the goal is to increase blood alkalinity to eliminate tumors Bicarbonate obviously can't cure cancer, "acid-base constitution" is a completely pseudoscientific proposition In fact, since the "theory" was born more than ten years ago, many scientists, doctors and science popularization workers at home and abroad have been emphasizing that it is a fraud Http:// 6.97 tons of carbon nine leaked from Fujian Gangquan, experts: toxic but not highly toxic at 1:14 a.m on November 4, the leakage occurred at the connecting hose between the ship and the wharf of Fujian Donggang Petrochemical Industry Co., Ltd carrying out the carbon nine shipment, causing a total of 6.97 Tons of carbon nine leaks C9 is a kind of polymer mixture, which is obtained by condensation of the distillates containing nine carbon aromatics in the by-product of catalytic reforming and cracking of petroleum in the presence of acid catalyst, mainly including trimethylbenzene, cumene, n-propylbenzene, ethyl toluene, etc Experts say that C9 is toxic to some extent, but not very toxic Its main components are not volatile substances, so it is not likely to be inhaled It is mainly through the pollution of food According to the latest report, on November 5, all air indicators of the automatic air monitoring sub station in Quangang District continued to be normal, the petroleum content of the seawater quality monitoring points met the first (second) class seawater quality standard, and the chemical oxygen demand met the first class seawater quality standard (meeting the aquaculture water quality requirements) Http://digitalpaper.stdaily.com/http_ / 08 / content_ HTM? Div = - 1 The British supercomputer has become the strongest "brain" so far According to the live science website of the United States recently, scientists have just activated the world's strongest "brain": a 1 million processor core and 1200 million processor cores A supercomputer connected with a circuit board, which can operate like a human brain, is the most accurate supercomputer to simulate the human brain This device is called "pulse neural network architecture" (SpiNNaker), located at University of Manchester, UK Spinmaker can not only "think" like the brain, but also create a model of neurons in the brain Its architecture supports the extraordinary communication ability between processors, which is very similar to the neural network of the brain But scientists say it's impossible to simulate human brain completely at present Machines such as spinmaker can only manage a small part of human brain's communication Supercomputers have a long way to go before they can acquire independent thinking ability Https:// micro eye patch can deliver drugs to eyeballs Chen Peng and his colleagues at Nanyang University of technology in Singapore have developed a millimeter sized eye patch, which contains a micro needle array, which can deliver drugs to eyeballs in a controlled way Then, the microneedles gradually dissolve and slowly release the drug into the surrounding environment Relevant achievements have been published online in nature communications recently In the mouse experiment, the researchers applied the above-mentioned eye stickers to the surface of the mouse's eye by briefly pressing with the thumb Using corneal neovascularization as a model, the researchers demonstrated that the neovascularization area of mice decreased by about 90% after a single treatment with monoclonal antibody DC101 delivered by eye patch In contrast, even with the use of higher doses of eye drops, there is no significant therapeutic effect In the future, clinical research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the new device Https://w w w.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-06981-w research shows that: people who don't think longevity is genetic once thought that the impact of genetic genes on longevity can reach 15-30%, but a new study on 54 million family tree data shows that the impact of genes on longevity is very small, only 7% There is little correlation between life span of blood relatives, but more correlation between life span of partners This is because environment, living conditions and other important factors affecting life span are more similar between partners https://
