Respiratory infection is prevalent, microbiologist: Most of them are self-limited diseases, so we should pay attention to the elderly.

  At the press conference held on November 26th, Mi Feng, spokesman of the National Health and Wellness Commission, said that monitoring showed that influenza was the main respiratory infectious disease in China recently. In addition, rhinovirus, mycoplasma pneumoniae, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus and other pathogens caused it.

  "Influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, mycoplasma pneumoniae and rhinovirus are all known viruses or bacteria, and humans have coexisted with them for thousands of years." Jin Dongyan, a microbiologist and professor at Li Ka-shing Medical College of HKU, said in an interview with The Paper that people are very familiar with the characteristics of these pathogens, and most of them are self-limited diseases. A considerable number of healthy adults are immune to these pathogens, and there are no signs of super-large-scale outbreaks or significantly enhanced pathogenicity.

  Lu Mengji, a German virologist of Chinese descent, also told The Paper that it is understandable that respiratory infections have increased after the management of the epidemic was lifted. In the first half of this year, children’s hospitals in Germany were also overcrowded. In his view, as the temperature drops, the pressure on hospitals in southern China may also increase, and it is suggested to protect vulnerable people through vaccination.

  Jin Dongyan believes that the susceptible groups of the above pathogens are mainly the elderly and children. At present, it is necessary to nip in the bud. "Keep an eye on schools and kindergartens, find out early when there are small-scale cluster infections, and take decisive measures to effectively level the epidemic curve, reduce the total number of infected people, and at the same time reduce the pressure on medical institutions." In addition, the family should pay attention to the elderly with low immunity. "Children are sick, so we should pay attention to isolating the elderly." He suggested vaccinating the elderly and paying special attention to the elderly in nursing homes.

  Previous public information showed that the number of patients in many children’s hospitals in Beijing was running at a high level and even overloaded. At the press conference on the 26th, Mi Feng suggested that large hospitals are crowded, with long waiting time and high risk of cross-infection. If there are children with mild symptoms at home, it is recommended to go to primary health care institutions or general hospitals for pediatric treatment.

  Jin Dongyan also advocated that people should not gather in large hospitals for treatment. Gathering children is not only easy to cross-infect, but also may lead to the failure of timely treatment of critically ill patients.

  In Jin Dongyan’s view, most of these pathogen infections are symptomatic treatment. It is not necessary to detect and determine the pathogen before treatment. "The most advanced areas in the world can’t do this." At present, only large hospitals in China can complete testing, and most primary hospitals can’t. "Time is the most important thing", if we wait for the test and then treat it, it may delay the treatment and cause the resources of large hospitals to be squeezed.

  At the aforementioned press conference, Mi Feng said that all localities should scientifically coordinate medical resources, implement a graded diagnosis and treatment system, adjust their strength across disciplines and hospitals, give play to the role of medical associations, and improve the diagnosis and treatment ability of general infections and the efficiency of severe identification and referral; It is necessary to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control in key crowded places such as schools, child care institutions and nursing homes, and reduce the flow of personnel and visits. He reminded everyone that it is necessary to adhere to the sanitary habits of wearing masks, ventilation and washing hands frequently, and advocate key groups such as "one old and one small" to actively vaccinate relevant vaccines. When you have respiratory symptoms, you should be well protected, keep a social distance, and avoid cross-infection in your family and unit.

  [The following is a conversation between The Paper and Jin Dongyan]

  "These diseases are not difficult to treat, and they are not so special."

  The Paper:In your opinion, is the main pathogen prevalent in recent respiratory infections new?

  Jin Dongyan:The current situation is not consistent with the epidemic characteristics of new pathogens. First of all, there is no evidence that there is a new virus in the information released by the CDC and the Health and Health Commission. Judging from a professional point of view, if a pathogen mainly infects children, it is basically a known or past epidemic virus or bacteria. Because adults have been infected before and have immunity, adults can’t be infected or the symptoms of infection are mild or even completely asymptomatic, while children have never been exposed to this pathogen before and have no immunity, so the number of children infected is large and the impact is relatively large. Fortunately, children are infected with these pathogens, and most of the symptoms are not serious.

  The Paper:Wang Quanyi, deputy director of Beijing CDC and chief expert of epidemiology, said in an interview recently that according to the latest monitoring data, the epidemic intensity of mycoplasma pneumoniae dropped to the fourth place, with the top three being influenza, adenovirus and respiratory syncytial virus.

  Jin Dongyan:According to the data released by China CDC, the northern part of China is on the rise of seasonal influenza, which has not reached the peak yet, and should gradually reach the peak in the next few weeks. The South is just beginning to take the lead, while Hong Kong is over, which is below the baseline level.

  All the four pathogens are known viruses or bacteria, and their epidemic characteristics, severity and severity ratio are also known. Humans have lived with them for thousands of years, so we can say that we know the root of them. We have never had a devastating epidemic in the past, and there is no sign that this will happen this year. This is a basic judgment.

  About half of people are immune to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and its infectivity is not so strong-it is usually transmitted in a crowded or closed environment after very close contact, such as eating and drinking together. Its basic reproductive rate is only 1.7, which is much lower than that of Omikjon strain in Covid-19.

  From the point of view of public health, the disease control department mainly needs to deal with the cluster epidemic to prevent its scale from expanding, and if the intensity is achieved, many outbreaks can be reduced.

  The Paper:Which age group are the susceptible people of these four pathogens? Is there any difference in clinical manifestations after infection, and what damage will it cause to the body if it is serious?

  Jin Dongyan:Almost all susceptible people are children and the elderly.

  There is little difference in clinical manifestations. In terms of drug treatment, influenza has specific drugs, such as Tamiflu and oseltamivir. There is no specific medicine for respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus or rhinovirus. Mycoplasma pneumoniae can use azithromycin and other antibiotics. However, most influenza patients do not need to use Tamiflu or oseltamivir, and most children infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae do not need azithromycin. Patients who only have symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection and have been in good health in the past generally do not need to take antibiotics. Not all patients with mycoplasma pneumoniae positive must use antibiotics. Even in hospitals that have the conditions for testing, antibiotics are not needed for those infected with mild symptoms.

  Of course, after using antibiotics, the number of bacteria in droplets decreases, which can reduce the spread. Whether to use antibiotics or not is a clinical judgment made by the attending doctor. As long as the doctor judges that the patient has or will have a high possibility of mycoplasma pneumonia, even if there is no pathogen test result, the drug should be given on a trial basis, and then whether the patient has a fever for 48 to 72 hours should be observed. If the fever has gone down, you should use it correctly, and if it hasn’t, you should change your tactics. This is the treatment procedure for mycoplasma pneumonia and other community-acquired pneumonia. This judgment should be made by a professional doctor in combination with clinical symptoms and the presence or absence of basic diseases (such as asthma).

  In fact, children’s hospitals, general hospitals, pediatrics or community hospitals without pediatrics can make correct judgments as long as they are adequately trained pediatricians or general practitioners. Parents with medical knowledge can of course make their own judgments and make wise choices for their children whether and how to seek medical treatment.

  Most people infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae are asymptomatic or mild, and only 3%-10% of infected people will have pneumonia. Most infected people with pneumonia are mild, and their prognosis is good. It should also be made clear to everyone that not everyone will be seriously ill and everyone will go to hospital.

  The Paper:In what season are these four pathogens prevalent?

  Jin Dongyan:Generally speaking, it will be popular all year round, but it will be more serious in winter, especially in the northern region, which is also a known feature in the past.

  The Paper:A doctor in Beijing was interviewed and mentioned that he has been engaged in pediatric diagnosis and treatment for more than 20 years. This time, the infection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the highest.

  Jin Dongyan:In the post-epidemic era, when foreign influenza virus and syncytial virus broke out together with Covid-19, many doctors said that it looked more serious than ever. Is it actually worse? The answer is none.

  You should look at the data of the whole city or the whole country. Up to now, there are not many places in China that have the conditions to do mycoplasma pneumoniae testing, and it may be impossible to test it at the district-level hospitals, and it is also inaccurate. How do you know if something happens to you? Plus mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is mostly asymptomatic. Without the test data of the past years, it is actually impossible to know whether this wave has the largest number of infected people.

  From the weekly influenza report released by the National Influenza Center, it can be clearly seen that the number of cases with flu-like symptoms in northern China has increased significantly this year compared with the previous year, but it has not exceeded last year or 2017 and 2018 before the epidemic. Because mycoplasma pneumoniae infection can also cause flu-like symptoms, this statistic also reflects the prevalence and scale of mycoplasma pneumoniae to some extent. In short, it is not clear from this data that the number of people infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae is the highest this time.

  Of course, due to the outbreak of mycoplasma pneumoniae in schools and kindergartens, a large number of patients go to the nearest hospital for medical treatment at the peak of the outbreak, which is really easy to cause heavy pressure on individual hospitals. Therefore, it should be understandable that pediatricians have this impression.

  In fact, most patients who come to the hospital now are mild. So many people go to the hospital and it is easy to run on medical resources. Doctors are tired of coping and there is no way to give the best treatment.

  And the disease is not difficult to treat, and it is not so special. If the doctor suspects that it is mycoplasma pneumonia, azithromycin has been used for 48-72 hours. If the fever has gone down, it will be right. If it doesn’t get better, it should be changed. Most international regulations suggest this, but it is not said that it must be tested first.

  If testing must be done first, the capacity of testing must be increased, and the quality control and supervision of testing reagents must be in place. Moreover, the positive detection of nucleic acid must be combined with clinic or IgM antibody to make an accurate diagnosis. Many places in our country can’t do the first test, so there should be a clear procedure on how to diagnose and treat mycoplasma pneumonia.

  It is necessary to classify diagnosis and treatment to avoid a run on big hospitals.

  The Paper:According to media reports, the daily average number of patients in Beijing Children’s Hospital far exceeds the hospital’s carrying capacity. What do you think of the overload operation of the hospital?

  Jin Dongyan:The main cluster epidemics of these four kinds of diseases occur in schools and kindergartens. Keeping an eye on schools and kindergartens can get twice the result with half the effort. Under the current situation, what we should do is to nip in the bud, find out early and take decisive measures when there is a small-scale cluster infection.

  The risk of hospital overload operation is that increasing the gathering of these sick children in confined spaces will not only increase the risk of transmission, but also make it easier for people who really need treatment to be treated in time, and will also cause panic among the people.

  The Paper:When do you expect this round of infection to peak?

  Jin Dongyan:At present, we only see the sequence of pathogen detection rate, but we don’t see more data. We don’t know how big the infection scale is in Beijing, and we don’t know the data compared with the previous period or the past few years, so it is difficult to make an accurate prediction.

  In fact, there are more than ten other pathogens that cause upper respiratory tract infection or community-acquired pneumonia. The data provided at present only say which ones have been detected, not which ones have not been detected or not. Generally, the proportion of community-acquired pneumonia with unknown causes is 50% or even higher. In winter, we should always be alert to community-acquired pneumonia caused by various reasons, and we should not take it lightly or worry too much.

  According to the data released by the National Influenza Center, the peak of influenza should not have arrived yet.

  According to the oral report of Beijing CDC, the number of children seeking medical treatment for mycoplasma pneumoniae infection has dropped from the peak, which may also indicate that this wave of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection has entered a downward period.

  The Paper:Now, what can the public do?

  Jin Dongyan:We should use common sense. Our child is ill, and the best care is to relieve his symptoms and then observe him closely. If your child’s body doesn’t show warning signs, don’t go to the hospital, because going to the hospital is easy to cause cluster infection, and most of them will be fine. If the illness is serious, or the child has basic diseases such as asthma, then he should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

  The Paper:What symptoms do you need to go to the hospital in time? Is there a difference between adults and children in the standard of medical treatment?

  Jin Dongyan:Children with persistent high fever for many days, persistent dyspnea (such as depression of intercostal muscles when breathing), wheezing, purple lips, low blood oxygen concentration, unconsciousness, aversion to water, original asthma and other basic diseases should see a doctor in any of the above cases.

  Most healthy adults have experienced influenza or other upper respiratory tract infections, and there is little chance of developing pneumonia. Unless you have a basic disease, you need special attention.

  From the family level, if children are ill, we should pay attention to isolation, especially not to let them contact the elderly, which is best for the elderly. If infected with the elderly, the old people’s original immunity is low, and they may be seriously ill or even life-threatening. The severe mortality rate of the elderly is relatively high, especially in nursing homes.

  The Paper:At present, some parents take their children to the pediatric hospital, but the pediatric hospital is overloaded and the waiting time for treatment is generally long. When treating children’s respiratory tract infections, can we choose a general hospital with a shorter waiting time, and will there be any difference in treatment effect?

  Jin Dongyan:It doesn’t make any difference. Because of these pathogens, only mycoplasma can use antibiotics such as azithromycin, and there are no specific drugs for other diseases, which are mainly symptomatic treatment. There are only a few kinds of drugs that doctors can choose.

  After most infected people have symptoms, they will get better without taking antibiotics. The fever should be reduced, the cough should be stopped, and the allergy should be prevented. If there are any symptoms, symptomatic treatment should be given to alleviate the symptoms, pay attention to rest, and then go to school when you are completely better. The most important thing is not to touch the elderly.

  The Paper:At present, we know that many community hospitals don’t have pediatrics, or don’t have the ability of initial diagnosis, so parents have to choose general hospitals or top three hospitals. What do you think of this situation?

  Jin Dongyan:Common upper respiratory tract infection or pneumonia is not an incurable disease, and medical college graduates with medical training can effectively deal with it. It’s not that you have to find a pediatrician to cure it well.

  The Paper:What is the self-limitation of these four pathogens now?

  Jin Dongyan:After these four pathogens infect the respiratory tract, most of them are self-limiting and self-healing diseases. People susceptible to respiratory syncytial virus are also children, and adults are already immune, so children and the elderly are the most vulnerable groups. The susceptible population of mycoplasma is also children, especially school-age children, most of whom are infected when they gather at school.

  The Paper:If there is mixed infection, what are the risks for patients?

  Jin Dongyan:Mixed infections are rare. According to the data in the literature, only less than 10% of community-acquired pneumonia was found to have mixed infection. It is not easy to know whether it is a clinically significant mixed infection. Because many people are asymptomatic carriers of these pathogens. For example, asymptomatic carriers of mycoplasma pneumoniae are infected with adenovirus and cause pneumonia, but the results of mycoplasma nucleic acid are also positive. Whether it is mixed infection or not, which is the main cause, it is difficult to explain by the test results alone.

  "Test before treatment" is not necessary.

  The Paper:Some doctors said in an interview that drugs should be used only after the pathogen is determined. Is this correct?

  Jin Dongyan:It is too idealistic and advanced to identify the pathogen first and then treat it, and even the most advanced areas in the world can’t do this. A few years ago, some regulations about mycoplasma pneumonia suggested this, but now they have all been returned. Because there are not so many reagents, and diagnosis is as good as no diagnosis. If pneumonia comes up, it is necessary to treat it quickly.

  Our country can only complete these tests in large hospitals. Ordinary grass-roots hospitals and some large-scale hospitals do not have the ability to carry out routine tests, or they do not have the ability to carry out rapid tests on a large number of patients in a short period of time, and the quality control of most reagents provided now may not pass.

  Secondly, in many cases, there is no need for pathogen diagnosis. If we insist that all people make pathogen diagnosis before treatment, it may delay the treatment of some critically ill patients.

  In addition, not only these four pathogens can cause pneumonia now, but also more than a dozen pathogens can cause pneumonia, and there is more than half the chance that the pathogens can not be found at all by using existing means. If you must diagnose it, you may have to wait until he becomes seriously ill or can’t be saved. You can’t do this or wait. At the same time, this practice will cause a run on the resources of large hospitals, because we simply don’t have the ability to complete so many tests.

  The Paper:From a scientific point of view, what are the specific detection methods for these four types of pathogens?

  Jin Dongyan:Now basically rely on nucleic acid detection, but our ability of nucleic acid detection is limited, not infinite, and the production of reagents is limited, not infinite. There are many cases where nucleic acid is positive but completely asymptomatic or the symptoms are very mild. As far as mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is concerned, it is more reasonable to take nucleic acid and IgM antibody double positive as diagnostic criteria. According to international norms, outpatients generally do not do pathogen testing, and only inpatients do it.

  The Paper:Uncertainty about the pathogen, is there a risk in treatment?

  Jin Dongyan:According to the rules, it is necessary to prescribe antibiotics for trial treatment, and time is the most important thing.

  Do you have a plan for the flu? No move. Do you have any ideas for other viruses? I didn’t say anything. Antibiotics are not necessary and should not be used for virus infection, but antibiotics should be tried immediately in an emergency when pneumonia occurs and the pathogen diagnosis is still unclear. You can barely use Tamiflu to find out the flu, but can Tamiflu be used frequently now? In fact, Tamiflu is only for people with special needs, and it can only be used at a high price. Not all people with flu have to eat or can eat Tamiflu. Now we can’t even hang up the date, and the monitoring cycle can’t be fast. When we find out the flu or COVID-19, we often miss the best administration time. Of course, if COVID-19 and influenza can be quickly identified or ruled out, it will be very helpful for clinical treatment. However, if we want to detect multiple pathogens separately, it may be time-consuming and laborious, but in the end it will have little effect. Doctors should try antibiotics decisively in combination with clinic and epidemiology, and make timely adjustments according to pathogen diagnosis and other test results.

  Clinically, it is often more important to distinguish between viral infection and bacterial infection. Recent studies have shown that the level of procalcitonin in blood can be used for this purpose. This is actually more practical than detecting pathogens, and it has more clinical guiding significance. It is better to simply measure procalcitonin than to focus on detecting pathogens. If the level is low enough, antibiotics can be stopped as soon as possible in combination with clinical manifestations.

  It is necessary to increase the proportion of vaccination for the elderly

  The Paper:Azithromycin is a specific drug for mycoplasma pneumoniae. Is there any risk if parents give their children azithromycin by themselves?

  Jin Dongyan:Of course there are risks. This is originally a prescription drug, and the world does not recommend giving antibiotics to children by themselves.

  In addition, self-medication may delay the illness. For example, if the patient has the flu, the flu has developed to pneumonia, which is more serious. Give him antibiotics, and he will not be able to eat well, and the treatment of the flu will also be delayed.

  The Paper:What is the efficacy of azithromycin in treating mycoplasma pneumonia? Some patients with mycoplasma pneumonia are resistant to azithromycin, will it affect their rehabilitation?

  Jin Dongyan:Azithromycin is effective against mycoplasma. However, there are many mycoplasma pneumoniae resistant to azithromycin and other macrolide antibiotics in Asia, so it is not necessarily effective to detect azithromycin mycoplasma. In the final analysis, we should try to cross the river by feeling the stones. In case of azithromycin resistance, other antibiotics, including tetracycline and fluoroquinolones, should be used. However, children under 8 years old should not use tetracycline, and fluoroquinolones can still be used.

  The most effective gold standard for judging azithromycin drug resistance is to use cultured mycoplasma for detection, but it is difficult and takes a long time. As mentioned above, it can also be used as a reference index according to whether the fever has gone down 48~72 hours after administration.

  The Paper:Will there be repeated infections with these four pathogens?

  Jin Dongyan:Could be a different pathogen infection. The first time may be adenovirus, the second time may be influenza, the third time may be Covid-19, and the fourth time may be something else. Unless the child’s own immunity is problematic, it is impossible to be infected with the same pathogen many times in a short period of time.

  The Paper:Can the infection of four pathogens be prevented?

  Jin Dongyan:As in COVID-19, keeping social distance, wearing masks as much as possible, washing hands frequently, etc., all return to the basic steps.

  The Paper:Do these four pathogens have corresponding vaccines? How effective is it?

  Jin Dongyan:Only the flu has a vaccine, and the other three pathogens have no vaccine. There is respiratory syncytial virus vaccine in the world, mainly for the elderly, but we haven’t approved it yet. Covid-19, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae, which may also cause pneumonia, also have vaccines, and the elderly and children should be encouraged to actively vaccinate.

  Influenza vaccine is quite effective, and the international standard is to give it to the elderly. Over the years, 60% of the elderly in Hong Kong have been vaccinated, and COVID-19 and influenza vaccines for the elderly and children are free or subsidized. The vaccination rate of the elderly in the mainland is low, which should be taken seriously.

Banana is the most radioactive fruit, which can cause cancer if eaten regularly?

Medical Jianghu of original DrX

Ms. Wu is 27 years old. Now she has been pregnant for 6 months, and she is raising a baby at home. On this day, she suddenly wanted to eat bananas, so she took them out of the refrigerator and was about to eat them. It happened that her mother-in-law saw them. Her mother-in-law hurriedly snatched them off and said earnestly, "It is said that bananas are the most radioactive fruit. You are pregnant now, so how can you eat such things casually!"

Ms. Wu is puzzled. How can a good banana become the most radioactive fruit? Can bananas still be eaten safely?

Eating 200 bananas is equivalent to taking a chest X-ray?

Bananas do have radiation, and radiation is mainly related to potassium. Among all fruits, banana is rich in potassium, especially potassium -40, which makes banana the most radioactive fruit.

Being radioactive does not mean that it will cause cancer. Many people will panic when they hear "radiation", which is totally unnecessary. Because any behavior that talks about toxicity regardless of dose is hooliganism, the additional ionizing radiation dose of a banana is about 0.078μSv, which means that eating 80,000 bananas in a row is equivalent to taking a chest X-ray. The so-called "eating 200 bananas is equivalent to taking a chest X-ray" is nonsense.

It is even more difficult to reach the fatal level, which means eating at least 25 million bananas at one time, which is impossible even if you think about it.

Bananas with black spots are poisonous and cannot be eaten?

There are rumors that bananas with dark spots are poisonous and can’t be eaten. People will be poisoned if they eat them.

In fact, there are two reasons why bananas have black spots. First, banana will have fungal diseases after being infected with Colletotrichum spinosum, which means that there will be black spots on the epidermis. Although it is a germ infection, it sounds terrible, but there is no need to worry too much, because this germ is isolated from human beings, even if it enters the human body, it will not affect health.

Another reason is that the skin of banana will be damaged by external force or low temperature, which will lead to oxidation reaction after exposure to oxygen, and finally black spots will appear on the skin.

These two conditions are normal, and some black spots are the manifestations of diseases. For example, banana anthracnose, scab, crown rot and banana rot will make bananas grow black spots.

However, it should be noted that these microbial diseases are only aimed at bananas, and even diseased bananas are still safe for human beings. As long as the pulp is good, you can eat it safely. If the pulp changes color with the epidermis, it is best not to eat it.

Bananas are not easy to grow black spots when stored like this.

① Eat and buy now.

Everything is the same. According to the principle of moderation, you can buy as much as you want to keep it fresh, especially bananas. It is best to eat them in two days.

(2) wrap the roots of bananas.

The basic substance that causes banana skin to turn black is ethylene. The more mature bananas are, the more ethylene will be released. Therefore, controlling the ethylene around bananas can delay the ripening speed of bananas. Most of the ethylene comes from the roots of bananas, so wrapping the roots of bananas can delay the ripening process of bananas, thus prolonging the preservation time.

③ Storage at room temperature

Studies have shown that the best storage temperature for bananas is around 13℃. Therefore, compared with storage in the refrigerator, room temperature is more suitable for banana storage, and bananas will ripen more slowly and are less likely to turn black.

(4) hang bananas.

You may also find that some supermarkets have special shelves for hanging bananas when you visit them. The reason why supermarkets choose to hang bananas is not because they look better, but because the hung bananas are better ventilated, which can make ethylene flow faster and delay the ripening of bananas.

Bananas are not only delicious, but also rich in nutrients. Besides basic energy-supplying nutrients, they are also rich in vitamin C, thiamine, riboflavin and nicotinic acid. However, it should be noted that bananas are not low in calories and belong to "high potassium fruits", so people with renal insufficiency, acute and chronic nephritis should not eat too much. In addition, the sugar index of cooked bananas is high, so diabetics should eat as little as possible.

Is the new virus attacking the throat coming? Swollen throat, swallowing blades … Doctor: Teach you 4 ways to relieve it!

Original attention → Health Times

Light the star.

Don’t miss every push.

A stream and B stream are just right, and many people are "recruited" again. Different from the cold symptoms in the past, many people reported sore throat and swollen throat this time, like swallowing a blade … Many people questioned, "Is the new virus attacking the throat coming?"

Is the new virus attacking the throat coming?

"My throat was swollen overnight. At first I thought it was tonsillitis, and then I started to have a low fever. I had no strength and my throat was so swollen that I couldn’t swallow water." On January 28th, Krishna Kumari (pseudonym), who works in Beijing, told the People’s Daily Health Client that at first she thought she had COVID-19 or flu, but all the results were negative. As soon as her throat became swollen, she began to take anti-inflammatory drugs. As a result, she took a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs and her throat still didn’t get better. ①

There are not a few netizens who are in a similar situation to Krishna Kumari on social media. Some netizens even said, "Pharyngolaryngitis is much worse than COVID-19" and "I didn’t escape this pharyngitis from COVID-19". Some netizens said, "In the afternoon, my throat is dry, and at night, I directly’ swallow the blade’ and feel sore all over." "This is a virus that specifically attacks the throat? The tonsils are suppurated and the saliva hurts. It has been 9 days. "

A sudden onset of pharyngitis,

What virus is it?

On January 28th, Hu Yang, deputy director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of pulmonary hospital, told People’s Daily Health Client that sore throat is common in acute inflammation of the throat, such as acute tonsillitis, acute pharyngitis and acute laryngitis, which can all cause sore throat. This kind of pain is mostly caused by bacterial infection or virus infection, and it can also be caused by mixed infection of bacteria and virus. Clinically, it is characterized by sore throat, foreign body sensation in throat, accompanied by swallowing pain, and sometimes accompanied by fever, fatigue and other systemic symptoms. ①

In December 2023, patients in the fever clinic of Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University were waiting for treatment. Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University

Xie Jin, chief physician of the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of Xinhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, introduced in an interview with the Morning News on January 23 that some acute pharyngitis is caused by virus infection, and different influenza viruses such as influenza A and B may cause the same symptoms. It may also be common viruses, adenoviruses, etc., and the detection of common viruses is sometimes undetectable. Therefore, someone will have a sore throat. Going to the hospital to find out that it is not the current popular viruses such as influenza A, influenza B and mycoplasma pneumonia. ②

Dr. Xie Jin said, "The symptoms of acute pharyngolaryngitis are often acute at the beginning. The dry and burning throat pain is often more obvious when swallowing saliva than when eating, and this pain sometimes radiates to the ear, causing reflex pain."

In these cases,

Be sure to go to the hospital in time!

Dr. Xie Jin reminded me that my throat was so sore that I couldn’t swallow it when I was eating. Speaking was like slurring my words with glutinous rice balls. Or the general symptoms are obvious, and the symptoms such as fever, headache and limb pain are obvious, so you should go to the hospital. In addition, cough and expectoration are very severe, so not only the upper respiratory tract, but also the bronchi and lungs of the lower respiratory tract may have problems. In this case, you should go to the hospital and take a film. ②

Dr. Hu Yang reminded that not all fever and sore throat are caused by COVID-19 and flu, so you need not be too nervous. When the above symptoms appear, you can generally use some drugs that are pungent and cool, such as Yanyan tablets and Lanqin oral liquid. In addition, you should drink plenty of water, try to eat lightly and develop good eating and living habits. "If there is no obvious relief within one to two weeks and the situation is getting worse, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination to avoid problems such as lung infection." ①

Four small ways to relieve pharyngitis

Zhu Yun, deputy chief physician of wuhan union hospital Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, recommended four effective methods to relieve pharyngitis and sore throat in October 2023 in Health Times. ③

Step 1 rinse your mouth with salt water

Washing the mucosa of the throat with salt water can play a role in sterilization and relieving inflammation. Add 250 ml of warm boiled water to salt the size of a beer bottle cap, dissolve it fully, then put the salt water in the mouth and tongue root for 20 ~ 30 seconds, then spit it out, and finally rinse your mouth with clear water.

Step 2 Moisten your throat with steam

Moisturize the throat with steam. Boil a cup of boiling water, aim the mouth of the cup at the throat for fumigation, or buy a special steam instrument. However, it should be noted that the water temperature should be controlled below 60℃. It is recommended to take about 20 minutes twice a day.

Step 3 ensure drinking water

Dietary Guidelines for China Residents 2022 recommends that adult men drink 1,700 ml of water every day and women drink 1,500 ml of water every day. In addition, you can also drink some tea to relieve pain and inflammation.

4. Including swallow tablets

Put the throat tablet on the base of the tongue near the throat. However, most throat tablets contain iodine, which can inhibit bacteria, but excessive iodine may irritate oral mucosa, so it is recommended to take it under the guidance of a doctor.

If you can’t find a "light cat" when you quit broadband, you have to pay 200 yuan?

Recently, some users reported that when they unsubscribed from the broadband service in Unicom’s business hall, the business hall demanded to return the "light cat", and the "gift" that consumers thought at first turned into "lease". If they could not find it, they would need to compensate 200 yuan or even more. According to a survey conducted by Beijing Youth Daily, in addition to China Unicom, users in China Mobile, China Telecom and gehuayouxian also complained about similar problems. On the second-hand market, a large number of "off-net-only" light cats have appeared correspondingly, and the price is only 25 yuan. Users said that many users were not clear about the contents of the contract when handling business, and they did not know much about whether the hardware such as light cats and set-top boxes were given or rented, such as the loss of compensation price, the installation fee or deposit, and so on. In order to promote sales, the staff deliberately blurred the statement, resulting in continuous problems when withdrawing broadband.

Many people spit out that "unsubscribing broadband requires retiring cats"

Recently, Ms. Tu, a user, reported that she had encountered a "pit-stepping incident" when she retired from Unicom’s broadband. She said that she couldn’t find the light cat when she moved. When she went to Unicom’s business hall to quit the network, the staff said that "the equipment lost needs compensation, and it costs more than 200 pieces". She even thanked herself for not having Gigabit broadband. "Otherwise, it seems to cost more than 700 pieces."

User Mr. Zhang also had a similar experience. He told the reporter of Beiqing Daily: "I applied for Unicom broadband in the rented house at that time. Later, I had to stop using broadband because I went abroad. I called customer service and requested to stop, but the other party asked me to return the light cat. I said that the light cats were left to the landlord, thinking that they were gifts, and it was not good to go back and disassemble them. After returning to China, I found that I had been on Unicom’s’ blacklist’ and could not handle any business. "

Users in China Telecom and gehuayouxian also said that their experiences were similar: "When it comes to the light cat, it comes to anger. The advertisements all say that the light cat will be given as soon as it is opened, and it will be rented for free when it is opened, but when it is broken, you will be asked to pay for a replacement, and you will have to return it when you return it." "Only when I lost it did I know that the set-top box was not a gift. When you start a business, you say that you will give it away. If you don’t pay it back, you will lose money. "

The second-hand market appears "special optical cat set-top box for quitting the network"

"There are all kinds of good attitudes when doing business, and it is difficult to stop using it." According to the investigation of Beiqing Daily reporter, there are many similar complaints. Most users are very dissatisfied with the fact that they were not clearly informed of various matters when handling. In order to promote broadband, salesmen will not clearly inform users of some key matters in advance, including which hardware equipment to return when unsubscribing, how long the contract period is, whether the deposit is paid or the installation fee is paid, which leads to users being "kept in the dark".

In some second-hand platforms, there are even a number of light cats and set-top boxes sold specifically for returning to the business hall, and the prices are very cheap.

"Off-line optical cat set-top box, full set of accessories, Unicom Telecom Mobile, to ensure successful off-line!" A merchant told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that a set of set-top boxes in 29 yuan includes set-top boxes, remote controls, power cords and all accessories of hd line. A set of cat 25 yuan, including cat and power supply; Both cats and set-top boxes need 50 yuan.

The merchant said that these goods are all bad and can’t be used for personal use, but if you take them and return them to the net, you can "guarantee that there is no problem. Just confirm the receipt after you successfully return the net".

The reporter of Beiqing Daily saw that there are many merchants selling similar "special light cats for quitting the network", and their sales volume is also quite large. A store has sold thousands of units.

survey

Operators call the equipment "leased" and need to return it.

Due to the sales skills, many users will be confused whether these devices promised to be "given" when they access the network are legally "given" or "rented". The reporter of Beiqing Daily called the Unicom broadband expert as a consumer and asked, "How to handle broadband, will you give a light cat?" The other party repeatedly said, "We will provide you with the light cat and the box, and then you can give the master an installation fee." The whole process did not mention whether it was "gift" or "rental". In order to find out the specific policies for unsubscribing broadband, Beiqing Daily reporters called the operator’s customer service to inquire.

The customer service staff of Beijing Unicom told the reporter of Beiqing Daily: "Light cats are rented to users free of charge, and if broadband unsubscribe business is handled, they will be returned to the business hall". The contract period will take three years to be owned by users. If lost, 200 yuan or 400 yuan will be compensated respectively according to the different types of light cats.

Beijing Mobile’s customer service said that the light cats and set-top boxes that were given when the broadband subscription was cancelled need to be returned. If they are three years old, they don’t need to be returned. If they are lost, they need compensation, namely 250 yuan and 220 yuan.

The customer service staff of Beijing Telecom told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that Guangmao is rented to users free of charge, but it must be returned to the business hall when it is returned. No matter how long the contract period is, Guangmao must be returned. If it is lost, 300 yuan will be compensated.

In addition, the customer service staff of Beijing gehuayouxian replied to the reporter of Beiqing Daily that when unsubscribing from the cable TV service, they need to return the set-top box. If they are lost, they should compensate 200 yuan for more than 5 years, 400 yuan for 2 -5 years and 600 yuan for 1 -2 years.

press sb for an interview

There are different opinions about the deposit and installation fee. A "cat" may not get the money back.

In addition to the question about returning the light cat, many users also reported that they paid the deposit or installation fee when they handled the business, and they were not told clearly, which led to trouble when they unsubscribed.

User Ms. Wang reported that she subscribed to Unicom’s broadband service in November 2021. At that time, the staff said that the optical cat was rented for free, but she had to pay a "deposit" from 200 yuan, and she could get the deposit back after returning the optical cat later. Ms. Wang believes that "it is a normal rule to rent something and pay a deposit, so she accepted it." However, when I went to the business hall to return the cat in March this year, the staff also said that the money paid before was "installation fee", not "deposit".

Ms. Wang also said that the staff did not give her a deposit certificate when handling broadband business at that time. However, when she contacted the business hall to quit the network, the online customer service kept asking her for a deposit slip, and she could not return it without a deposit slip; The offline staff also said that there was no such thing as a deposit. The salesman who had previously handled it belonged to the franchisee and had already withdrawn from the store. You need to find this salesman before you can give it back. Finally, Ms. Wang returned the light cat, and the business hall did not refund the deposit.

So, is the fee paid at the time of handling a deposit or an installation fee? The reporter of Beiqing Daily called the business hall of Beijing Unicom, and got a response that at present, the broadband service generally only needs to pay the installation fee of 100 yuan, and there is no deposit requirement. The business hall will rent the router and cat all-in-one machine to the user for free, and return the all-in-one machine to the business hall when logging off the network, but the specific charges need to be based on the requirements of the business hall in this region.

However, after the reporter of Beiqing Daily dialed Unicom’s customer service again and asked about the inconsistent statement about the deposit online and offline, the customer service said that because the broadband business is handled online, the deposit can be refunded when the cat is returned. The deposit may not be refunded because it has not been three years, and I need to go to the offline business hall to inquire. It can be seen that the different customer service statements of an operator of Unicom are inconsistent, and it is no wonder that consumers are confused.

analyse

The behavior of light cat deducting fees is unreasonable, and the fees are mostly installation fees.

The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that the total number of broadband access users in China has reached 614 million. According to the public data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the number of fixed broadband access users increased steadily in the first half of 2023. By the end of June, the total number of fixed Internet broadband access users of the three basic telecommunications companies reached 614 million, a net increase of 24.68 million over the end of last year. At the same time, the income from fixed Internet broadband services has also achieved steady growth. In the first half of the year, the income from Internet broadband services completed by three basic telecommunications companies was 130.1 billion yuan, up 6.3% year-on-year. With the steady growth of fixed broadband access users, the relationship between operators and users is becoming more and more important for the good operation of communication industry economy.

In the investigation, the reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that when handling business in the early stage, users must carefully check the agreement. There are three points that need special attention: First, it is necessary to find out whether the package includes light cats, set-top boxes, cables, plugs, etc. Whether the physical equipment needs to be returned when logging out of the network; Second, ask whether the fee charged is a refundable hardware rental deposit or a one-time installation fee; The third point is to keep invoices, receipts, etc. to avoid losses caused by incomplete information when you quit the network later.

So, is there a problem with this practice of operators? According to Chen Yinjiang, Deputy Secretary-General of china law society Consumer Law Research Association, ordinary consumers will regard light cats as "gifts" rather than "rentals" as operators say, because operators have not fulfilled their obligation of "informing". He stressed that operators must ensure that consumers are fully informed in advance. When opening, they should inform consumers that these goods should be returned. It is best to let consumers choose whether to rent them, otherwise they may be suspected of infringing consumers’ "right to know".

Fu Liang, an independent telecom analyst, said that there are indeed many problems in the return of the light cat. Most of the money collected is not a deposit, but an installation fee. In addition, the light cat is free to use, and there is no need to return it after a certain number of years, but first, this number of years is not clear most of the time; Second, when returning a cat, all accessories are required, but some cheap accessories are not in use, so users can’t return them if they can’t find them. Fu Liang suggested that operators should pay attention to the management details of the "whole life cycle" of broadband users and family package users, and give users a sense of belonging. Otherwise, some details may bring users the feeling of being "trapped".

Foreign media widely forwarded "International Sharp Review: Seeing through the American Two-Handed Trick"

  CCTV News:On August 1st, the Central Radio and Television General Station’s "International Sharp Review" broadcast an article entitled "Seeing through America’s Two-Handed Tricks", which was reprinted by many overseas media.

  From August 1 ST to 3 rd, the German website of European Times, the website of Radio Spain International, the website of RADIOWE in Italy (facebook, twitter), the website of Daily Morning News in India, the website of Czech News Today, the facebook account of Jordan Global Radio, the Chinese headline APP, the Portuguese news APP(facebook, twitter), the website of Nordic Times, the website of European Union Chinese website, the website of Europe-China United Times, and the African Times. On August 2, Indonesia’s International Daily and Hong Kong’s Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po also published this article. The main reports are as follows:

  The Sino-US economic and trade contest, which lasted for more than four months, has seen a new situation in the past two days.

  According to Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the matter, representatives of U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and China’s Vice Premier Liu He are holding private talks on resuming Sino-U.S. economic and trade consultations. Meanwhile, the United States may start to impose tariffs on about $16 billion of goods imported from China as early as August 1. In addition, the report also quoted sources as saying that the US government is considering imposing a 25% tariff on China goods worth 200 billion US dollars, which is higher than the previously declared 10% tariff rate.

  While releasing the rumor that it wants to negotiate with China, it raises the tariff stick higher and higher. Obviously, the US side has no sincerity to really solve the problem, but still wants to get more benefits by playing tricks. This has long been expected by the Chinese side. Because China has learned from its treacherous and capricious behavior before, it can be said responsibly that whether the US imposes tariffs on $16 billion or $200 billion of goods, whether it adopts a 25% tax rate or a 10% tax rate, China is ready to use both quantitative and qualitative measures to resolutely fight back!

  Looking back at the changes since the US started the first shot of the Sino-US trade war on July 6, it is not difficult to find that the White House is hiding three big attempts behind the trick of talking with one hand and playing with one hand:

  First of all, because the trade war with China has not made any immediate progress, the Trump administration is anxious and intends to further exert extreme pressure on China in a more radical way.

  From 50 billion to 200 billion, and even all the goods exported from China to the United States, the Trump administration has been increasing the price for more than four months, trying to force China to make concessions. However, the White House found that this "art of trading" failed to deal with China. Because China is not any trading partner that the United States has suppressed in the past, China has its own development rhythm and unique resource endowment, and the free trade and multilateral system that China adheres to conforms to the global trend and development trend, and has won international morality and people’s hearts. Therefore, despite the United States’ carrot and stick and all kinds of tricks, it has not got any cheap from China so far. On the contrary, because of China’s resolute counterattack, the United States itself is in a passive position. White House policymakers are very anxious. Recently, US Secretary of Commerce Ross came out to let the wind out, saying that the United States must take a radical stand against China’s "unfair trade" practices, and now is a good time to do so.

  According to the plan, the Office of the US Trade Representative will hold a hearing on the proposed tariff increase on China’s $200 billion goods exported to the United States in late August. Before the hearing, the US announced that it would raise the tax rate. Obviously, it wanted to exert double pressure on China’s implementation time and tax rate to force China to make more concessions.

  Second, the voice of opposition to the trade war in the United States has risen, and the Trump administration has tried to pass on the pressure. People noticed that on July 31st, Trump gave a speech at a political rally in Florida, and spent a long time defending his trade policy, acknowledging that the interests of American farmers were harmed by China’s anti-tariff measures. This shows that Trump has felt unprecedented political pressure on his tough tariff policy.

  In fact, the American economy is not as bright as the data shows. Although the recently announced US economic growth in the second quarter reached 4.1%, in the view of professional economists, this growth was due to strong exports, especially soybean exports. Because, soybean exporters are eager to sell their goods quickly before China’s anti-tariff takes effect. In addition, the overall investment in the United States in the second quarter was lower than that in the first quarter, which also dragged down the growth of real GDP. This proves from the side that Trump’s tax reduction plan has not actually promoted the recovery of American manufacturing.

  Under the shadow of tariff stick and trade war, a group of large enterprises in the United States have increasingly felt the pressure. For example, General Electric estimates that the total cost will increase by $300 million to $400 million, while General Motors and Ford Motor Co., Ltd. also lowered their annual profit expectations. Economists warn that in the end, all the costs of a trade war will be added to consumers. Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel laureate in economics and a professor at Columbia University, recently wrote that the United States is in danger of losing its trade war with China. Charles Kirk, the Republican "big money owner", said recently that the US’s provoking of a trade war may lead to a recession in the US economy, and he wants to launch a campaign to promote free trade and oppose tariff policies. This is undoubtedly a blow to Trump.

  Under the double pressure of politics and economy, the White House chose to release the information that representatives of China and the United States were negotiating to restart negotiations before the US stock market opened on July 31. Its intention to stimulate the stock market and boost confidence is self-evident. However, at the same time, it has raised tariffs on China, and its intention to divert domestic contradictions and attempt to attract foreign disasters is also obvious.

  Third, the Trump administration is not satisfied with solving the trade deficit problem with China at all, but wants to change the development path of China.

  If we want to simply solve the trade deficit problem, China and the United States can gradually solve it by expanding business, and both sides reflected this demand and desire as early as the Washington Consensus in mid-May. However, the United States believes that China has not done enough. Ten days later, it reneged and broke its promise. This time, the United States once again raised the tariff stick to intimidate China, which can only make people see more clearly: China’s trade surplus is narrowed again, and it is impossible to satisfy the Trump administration’s "appetite"; Its real intention is to force China to carry out "structural reform" according to the requirements of the United States, and fundamentally change China’s development model and development path.

  Any sovereign country has the right to choose its own development path. It is impossible for the United States to provoke a trade war and change China’s development strategy. However, since there is no winner in the trade war, China has been unwilling and unwilling to fight from the beginning, and has always tried its best to solve the problem through negotiations with the greatest sincerity. However, all negotiations should be based on equality, respect and good faith. While talking and talking, the White House keeps threatening and pressuring, destroying the negotiation atmosphere. Is this the "negotiation mode" of the White House? How can it win the trust of its negotiating opponents? For the trade war, China is not afraid to fight, and it has to fight if necessary. If the United States really wants to solve the problem through negotiations, it should put down its stick and show sincerity.
