Microfilm tablet press

　　Microfilm: the diameter is between 1-3mm, the content is uniform and the quality is controllable.

　　Diameter comparison between microchip and ordinary microchip.

　　The "microchip" medicine specially designed for children is small in size and easy to swallow.

Orally disintegrating tablets freeze-dried orally disintegrating tablets

　　"Freeze-dried orally disintegrating tablets" will immediately disperse in the mouth to prevent spitting.

　　Adults all know the truth that "good medicine tastes bitter and is good for disease", but for children, bitter medicine is unwilling to take even if it has a curative effect. In the future, in children’s medication, the bitter taste of good medicine may become history.

　　The pills will be made into cute little bears or cute kittens. Bitter potion adds sweet and sour "flavoring agent", which has strawberry flavor and orange flavor, depending on which one the baby likes; Naughty children will spit out after eating pills. After changing to "freeze-dried orally disintegrating tablets", the pills will spread on the tongue and disappear, and they can’t find pills when they want to vomit … …

　　The National Children’s Medical Center and Beijing Children’s Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, as the lead units, joined forces with the R&D forces of more than 30 scientific research institutes, universities and enterprises across the country to start the research and development of drug varieties and key technologies for children, which is also the 2017 project of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" national "major new drug creation" and will be closed at the end of next year.

　　Ni Xin, the project leader and president of Beijing Children’s Hospital, said that the related technology of this project involves more than 100 kinds of children’s medicines. In the future, good medicines will no longer be bitter, and children will no longer need parents and children to "fight with each other".

　　Oral medicine is too bitter

　　By the end of next year, a technical platform for correcting and masking the taste of children’s drugs will be built.

　　"One thing touched me deeply." Wang Xiaoling, director of the project office and director of the pharmacy department of Beijing Children’s Hospital, said that a child in the hospital was ill and had to take a sugar-coated tablet for adults. Because the dosage of the child was small, the sugar-coated tablet could only be ground and then fed to the child. "Once the sugar-coated tablet is destroyed, the bitter taste in the medicine will go straight to the entrance." The child was particularly angry and said, Why do adults take sweet medicine, but give me such bitter medicine? How can you adults be so bad! "This sentence makes me particularly shocked. Why can’t we adults try to make our children’s medicine no longer bitter?"

　　The child can’t understand the helplessness behind grinding a sugar-coated tablet and taking it again. His idea is very simple, that is, he wants to take medicine that is not bitter. Wang Xiaoling said that as one of the top ten tasks of the project, China will build a technical platform for correcting and masking the taste of children’s drugs by the end of next year. The specific technical types of taste correction and taste masking for children include taste masking technology, chemical taste masking technology and physical taste masking technology. "Some medicines are naturally bitter." Like other tastes, bitterness is a feeling caused by the stimulation of liquid containing chemical substances. Bitter substances existing in food and medicine basically naturally exist alkaloids, glycosides, bitter peptide bile and other substances, and some nitrogen-containing organic substances can also have a bitter feeling.

　　"We have established a bitterness database." Wang Xiaoling said that in the future, when children’s drug manufacturers develop new drugs, they can query the database and consider avoiding these bitter ingredients. However, the first thing to consider in drug research and development is curative effect. If bitter chemicals cannot be avoided, it is necessary to consider improving the taste of children’s drugs through taste correction technology or taste masking technology. "Just like giving people a double eyelid, beautify it."

　　The technology of taste masking and taste correction seems to be relatively uncommon, but in simple terms, it can be understood as the illusion of baby’s taste buds by adding "condiments"; It is also possible to avoid direct contact between bitter drugs and taste buds by adding auxiliary materials, or to temporarily paralyze taste buds. Now many babies have taken medicines that are not bitter, such as peaches, strawberries, oranges, hawthorn, milk tea and brown sugar … … Wang Xiaoling said that before the end of next year, the research group will also build a taste evaluation system for children in China. "Now many taste masking and taste correction technologies are imported. We should choose a taste that is more suitable for children in China according to the tastes of children in China."

　　The taste of children’s medication is not just "not bitter". Wang Xiaoling said that the waterless swallowing granule technology currently under development adopts technological innovation and high-quality auxiliary materials, which can effectively cover up the bad smell of drugs, and at the same time, it does not need water to be taken. After entering the stomach, the drugs are quickly dissolved and released, giving full play to the curative effect, greatly improving the compliance of children with drugs, and parents are no longer worried about the headache of drug administration.

　　decode

　　Dose is broken by hand

　　Customize different dosage packages for babies with professional packaging equipment.

　　In the young children’s ward of Beijing Children’s Hospital, pharmacists also have an important job of grinding pills for children. Hydrochlorothiazide, a commonly used medicine in children’s wards, is used to treat mild and moderate edema and hypertension, and can improve the symptoms of bronchial dysplasia. In the children’s ward, this is a drug that challenges pharmacists: the commonly used hydrochlorothiazide tablets are 25 mg per tablet, but the dosage of children needs to be calculated according to their weight. Some children need to use one-third tablets, and some children need to use one-quarter tablets. The youngest child needs to use 0.5 mg at a time, which is only 1/50 of one tablet. "Ordinary scales can’t be used for weighing, and analytical scales with higher accuracy must be used."

　　In the ward of Beijing Children’s Hospital, there are many commonly used divided-dose drugs. Compound sulfamethoxazole tablets are used to treat enteritis, endocarditis, acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis in children’s hospitals, and are likely to be used in the departments of gastroenterology, cardiovascular medicine, respiratory medicine, neurology and infectious diseases. 79.95% of the compound sulfamethoxazole tablets used in children’s hospitals need to be divided into doses. Among the 199 kinds of oral drugs available in Beijing Children’s Hospital, 85 kinds of drugs, such as oral liquid, granules, dispersible tablets, etc., and 34 kinds of drugs with different doses, are excluded, and a total of 80 kinds of drugs need to be prepared in different doses, including 63 kinds of tablets and 12 kinds of capsules, as well as dosage forms such as enteric-coated tablets and sustained-release tablets.

　　According to the drug classification of clinical medication instructions, most of these 80 drugs are used for anti-infective drugs, nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive system and endocrine system. Infection and digestive diseases are very common in children, and many children will use these drugs. Cardiovascular, endocrine and nervous system drugs sometimes need long-term out-of-hospital drug treatment. If there is no suitable dosage form specification and parents need to divide the dosage themselves, how to ensure the accurate dosage of drugs? How to ensure the proper storage of divided dose drugs? How to deal with the remaining drugs after dispensing? Is it necessary to buy an analytical balance specially for children to distribute medicine at home?

　　In some developed countries, such as Japan, personalized drug delivery has begun, which means that hospitals can use special equipment to package drugs separately. In China’s "Quality Management Standard for Pharmaceutical Work in Medical Institutions", there is also a clear definition of individualized dispensing — — According to the needs of patients’ individualized medication, qualified medical institutions can provide temporary preparation of special dosage forms or doses, such as diluting liquid, grinding tablets and subcontracting, subpackaging capsules, preparing temporary mixtures, and preparing ointments.

　　This year, the topic of personalized medication for young children has been added. At present, the research group has purchased sub-packaging equipment. In the future, Beijing Children’s Hospital can customize drugs with special doses for babies. "The content of a bag may be 10 micrograms or 5 milligrams, which can be designed completely according to the doctor’s advice. Parents give their children medicine, and they don’t have to guess. "

　　decode

　　It is difficult to swallow medicine.

　　Develop special formula technology

　　Develop special drugs for children

　　The problem of children’s medication is a worldwide topic. "We often say that children are not miniature versions of adults." Ni Xin said that children should choose special drugs for children. The project led by Beijing Children’s Hospital is based on the differentiated needs of children’s medication, developing special drug delivery technologies, including straw delivery, oral instant, micro-tablets, etc., and developing children’s drugs through the establishment of key technologies with distinctive differentiation.

　　For example, Wang Xiaoling said that according to the characteristics of children, the research group is still developing "microchips", that is, the diameter of tablets is between 1 and 3 mm, "too big tablets for children to swallow." After being changed into small tablets, the diameter is reduced to facilitate swallowing, and more importantly, the content of active ingredients in the medicine is uniform and the quality is controllable. Now adults are using sustained-release tablets, and the drugs can be released slowly. Adults can take the drugs once or twice a day. Children have to go to kindergarten and primary school, but many children need to take drugs orally three or even four times a day. This time, the research group also designed the sub-topic of key technology and industrialization platform of children’s sustained and controlled release preparations to explore and develop sustained and controlled release preparations suitable for children, and studied the oral absorption mechanism.

　　Children take drugs orally and through mucous membranes, such as nasal mucosa, rectal mucosa and lung mucosa, all of which are routes of administration. "The World Health Organization recommends that children use anal suppositories to reduce fever, but parents in China don’t accept it very well and children don’t like it." Wang Xiaoling said, this suggests that Chinese researchers can’t copy foreign experience. "We found that the gel dosage form is relatively easy to be accepted by parents, and the products developed now are highly accepted by parents. If you gently touch it, you can achieve good curative effect, and parents certainly welcome it. "

　　"Nothing reveals the soul of a society better than the way it treats its children." Wang Xiaoling always remembers such a famous saying, "All pharmaceutical workers do is to make children recover in sweetness."

Poster of International Market

　 　 1905 movie network news Last year, Huang Zhengmin, a powerful actor who swept the best actor in major awards ceremonies, was a veritable "model worker". At the beginning of the year, the gangster love movie starring him, although the plot is a little old-fashioned, moved the audience because of his acting skills, and the film still achieved double box office success. Recently, he once again grabbed the Christmas file in Han Ying with his new film. With good audience reputation, the film became popular at the box office. Next, he has four new films coming out one after another, three crime action films (directed by Liu Chengyong) (directed by Luo Hongzhen) and (directed by Yil-hyeong Lee), plus a biography film (directed by Seok-hoon Lee), each of which is menacing and cannot be underestimated, which makes people have to admire the exuberant energy of this model actor.

　 　 The International Market, which is being shown in South Korea for Christmas, is a masterpiece of director (masterpiece) Je-gyun Yun who was born in Busan after five years, and is called the Korean version. The film tells the story of Dexiu (Huang Zhengmin), who has great ambitions but never lived seriously for himself, fighting for his family all his life. Starting in the 1950s, the film has experienced major historical periods such as the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the search for separated relatives, and has written a magnificent modern Korean history from the perspective of little people struggling to survive in the ever-changing historical ups and downs. The cast of this film is very bright, including Huang Zhengmin, Jin Yunzhen, Dal-su Oh, Jin-yeong Jeong, Zhang Yingnan, Luo Meilan, Jin Seqi and Jung Yunho.

　 　　Huang Zhengmin’s role as the hero, Dexiu, in this film is a challenging role, from a soft-blooded 20-year-old man to a perverse 70-year-old man. In a recent interview with Korean media, he said that Dexiu is a rare role, and he is a portrait of our fathers throughout our time.

Huang Zhengmin said that the appearance of childhood actors made him even more touched.

Talking about the new film: I hope the audience will resonate

　 　　Reporter: You have seen the film, right? What do you think?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Yes, I waited for a whole year after the filming. When shooting, I only saw my own appearance, and the pictures of other actors acting were all seen for the first time. At the beginning, the grand evacuation scene was Xiao Dexiu’s debut. I had read the script before, so I probably knew what the content was, but at the moment I saw the picture, tears flowed down like crazy. Some people distributed paper towels during the screening, but I used up all the paper towels I had prepared and borrowed them from someone next to me. (Laughter) I feel like I’m burning in my body. I don’t know why, but I feel more deeply about the pain and experience of Xiao Dexiu than the one I played as an adult.

　 　　Reporter: What prompted you to resolutely decide to participate in this film?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: One day, director Je-gyun Yun called and said that he wanted me to read a play. I asked him what the story was about, and he said it was about his father. At that time, there was a feeling that I was hit in the back of my head. After I got married, I had a child, and I slowly began to understand the psychology of being a father. At that moment, I thought I must play. The role of Dexiu can remind us of our father. In fact, the gathering between parents and children, even for a short time, can pave the way for mutual communication and understanding. This is the original intention of my choice to star in this film. I don’t want to make the character Dexiu too prominent, but I hope that he can become an ordinary character that everyone can think of his father.

　 　　Reporter: Can you tell us how you began to understand your father?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Actually, I don’t fully understand it. So the long-term way of life and communication doesn’t mean to change. Now, in fact, most of the time, I ask my father what he thinks through my mother. After I gave birth to my own child, I thought the child was so cute. After reading it again and again, I still want to see it, thinking that my father shouldn’t have seen me like this at the beginning? Why didn’t you say something nice to me when I was in pain in adolescence? Maybe it would make me less painful. But then I began to understand my father, not as a son, but as a man, and I gradually understood his thoughts.

　 　　Reporter: I just said that Dexiu represents the image of my father, and I want to perform a sense of ordinary. Can you tell me in detail what kind of universal ordinary feeling it is? What is the key to playing the role of father?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Actually, it is relatively easy to give a character a personality. For example, in the script, the character Dexiu actually has a lot of experiences, but I don’t want to use so many events and experiences to create a portrait of a character. Instead, I try to keep the character in a colorless state, so that the audience can project it to their father when watching everything he experiences, and try to handle the character with this ordinary feeling.

　 　　Reporter: The role you played in this film spans from the 20th generation to the 70th generation. Is there any difficulty?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: To tell you the truth, I think this may be a role that I will never meet again in the future. It’s either a big loss or a big gain. This work contains romantic love, comedy, popular drama and other diverse elements, and it has to be interpreted from the 20th generation to the 70th generation. It is a very rich corner color, and I am very grateful to Director Je-gyun Yun for giving me this opportunity. With regard to acting in old age, I care more about the shaping of the character’s personality than the problems brought about by makeup, and how to show his old eccentric but warm complex emotions. This is the part that bothers me the most. Because if the 70 th generation is well played, it will be more natural to watch the 20 th and 30 th generations.

　 　　Reporter: The experience of this film Dexiu can also be said to have witnessed the development of the whole modern history of South Korea. Is there any preparation for this part of the information?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: I have consulted some relevant materials. Especially about the Vietnam War, a former fellow villager once participated in the war. He shared his experiences including persecution and escape at that time, and got great help from his description, including the psychological state of fear.

Talking about box office: unprecedented pressure and gratifying achievements

　 　　Reporter: Your work has maintained a relatively stable box office and word of mouth before, but it seems that there is always a step away from the blockbuster. I must have a lot of expectations for the box office of International Market, and it seems that the trend is not bad at present.

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Before the official release, the word-of-mouth was not bad, but I don’t know if it can directly affect the box office. Later, I saw that the box office reached 180,000 on the first day, which was still a non-weekend achievement. To be honest, it was quite surprising, and the audience rating rose after the release. Under normal circumstances, there will be a certain decline. I am still in the hunger and thirst period of big sales (laughs). I feel that this is the return of director Je-gyun Yun after five years, which is considered to be a success.

　 　　Reporter: I heard that after director Je-gyun Yun finished reading the script, Huang Zhengmin was the first choice for Dexiu.

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Honestly, I don’t know why. With such an age span and rich experience, I always feel that I am not the first choice among so many actors with outstanding qualifications. Perhaps it was because there were not many actors with suitable schedules to choose from.

　 　　Reporter: I heard that the character prototype of Dexiu is Director Yin’s own father?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: I didn’t know about it before. That’s why people cried at the screening, isn’t it When Jin Yunzhen sitting next to me was crying, I was still thinking, what’s going on? Only later did I know that the director was burdened with a heavy burden, but I didn’t ask more about it after the screening.

　 　　Reporter: In short, it is a very important work for Yin Dao.

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Yes, although it’s not very important to me, it’s really too heavy for Yin Dao, and how much bitterness he has to bear during filming, so that’s why I especially hope this film can have a good result.

　 　　Reporter: I feel that your sense of burden is unprecedented this time.

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Even if it’s not just for the commercial box office performance, as the leading actor of a movie, it’s a lie to say that there is no burden. But I also know that my task is how to solve these burdens, and I can’t bring this burden to my actual work. I’ve been thinking about how to better show the integrity of the characters.

　 　　Reporter: Is your own father as blunt as Dexiu?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Although he is not as stubborn as honest and frank, he is usually a quiet person, so this role still resonates.

　　With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the market and consumers are becoming more and more mature. For the matter of buying a car, everyone has not only paid attention to the brand, price and appearance, but also factors such as quality are becoming the focus of consumers’ attention. After all, no one wants to always run to a 4S shop after buying a car, or even stop on the road to wait for help.

　　Word-of-mouth communication is very important on quality issues, and reports issued by professional organizations are also a great reference for consumers. A few days ago, J.D. with high credibility. Power America’s 2020 new car quality survey report was released. It is not surprising that Tesla’s new car quality ranks at the bottom due to the lack of maturity in building cars. However, it is also not surprising that Land Rover, which was ridiculed by everyone as "not repaired well", really appeared in the penultimate position of new car quality, and its brother brand Jaguar ranked sixth from the bottom.

　　In China, Jaguar Land Rover is also facing the same situation, with endless quality problems and repeated complaints from users. Judging from the public information of Chezhi. com, Jaguar Land Rover was complained 108 times in the first half of this year, most of which were quality problems. Of course, there were also complaints about sales fraud and poor service attitude. As of press time, Jaguar Land Rover has not made a public statement on all faults.

　　Judging from the specific models, Land Rover found that Shenxing became the most complained model of Jaguar Land Rover in the first half of this year, reaching 43 times, accounting for nearly 40% of the total complaints. Complaints about the discovery of Shenxing mainly focus on the engine, including water pump failure, abnormal sound, antifreeze leakage, flameout and so on.

　　Just in late March of this year, it was found that Shenxing had been "delisted" by Land Rover, and the sports version was found instead. In fact, it was found that Shenxing’s redesigned model could be "transshipped" by changing its name, but the most important thing is to improve the quality control level.

　　Long-standing quality problems have killed Jaguar Land Rover’s brand strength and product strength to a certain extent. Now, it can only compete with other brands with preferential margins ranging from 40,000 to 50,000 to more than 100,000. Although the price reduction of luxury cars is a common phenomenon, brands such as Lexus still exist, and excellent product quality is the foundation of Lexus. Jaguar Land Rover should really reflect on it.

　　In the complaints about Jaguar Land Rover’s quality problems in the first half of this year, a series of engine failures became the biggest problem, such as engine water pump failure, abnormal sound, flameout, jitter, antifreeze leakage and crankshaft failure, which can be described as frequent problems.

　　As we all know, the engine is one of the core parts of the car, and it is the heart of the car, which determines the performance of the car. However, there are many quality problems in such an important part, which is naturally unacceptable to users.

　　According to users’ complaints, the trouble of Jaguar Land Rover engine is mainly concentrated on the 2.0T turbocharged engine with model PT204, which is currently installed on Land Rover Discovery, Land Rover Discovery Sport Edition, Land Rover evoque, Jaguar XEL, Jaguar F-PACE and other models.

　　As far as fault classification is concerned, the number of complaints about engine water pump fault is the highest, and the water pump fault has also caused a series of chain reactions. The water pump fault leads to insufficient cooling of the engine, and the cooling fan will always run at a high speed, which will produce a lot of noise. Some users complain that the abnormal noise of the engine is caused in this way. In addition, the high-speed operation of the cooling fan will also cause engine jitter, which will even be transmitted to the steering wheel according to users’ feedback.

　　Some users said that although they knew it was a water pump problem, they were told to wait for accessories after arriving at the 4S shop. At the same time, the staff also said that it would not affect the normal use. In the eyes of users, this is obviously irresponsible. "So many vehicles have the same problem, which is obviously a common problem. Jaguar Land Rover should be recalled, but now it is unacceptable to just let us wait." One user said this.

　　In addition to the water pump problem, there are not a few complaints about engine flameout. Some car owners said that the 2017 Land Rover they bought found that Shenxing engine flameout frequently when braking or starting in April this year, and reported that "special procedures were closed", and the fault still existed after one week of repair.

　　Another user pointed out that on April 28, he was driving a 2017 Jaguar XFL car at a high speed, and suddenly the engine fault light came on, followed by abnormal noise, jitter, smoke and flameout of the engine. After dragging the car to a 4S shop, the engine needed to be replaced.

　　The engine flameout has risen from a quality problem to a safety problem. After the engine flameout, the braking power and steering power will disappear, and the driver’s improper operation will cause accidents, especially on the expressway, which is very easy to cause rear-end accidents. Safety is the bottom line. Jaguar Land Rover must pay enough attention to it, and the safety of drivers and passengers must be put in the first place. Faults such as engine flameout must be solved promptly and effectively.

　　According to the summary of complaints from Jaguar Land Rover, besides the engine, the quality problems of its products can’t be overemphasized, such as oil leakage from transmission, frustration, abnormal sound of car body, resonance, foaming and cracking of paint, water leakage, abnormal sound of brake system, cracked glass, mailbox defect (jumping gun) and so on. After buying Jaguar Land Rover’s car, it is really difficult for users to feel at ease and worry.

　　Judging from the number and content of complaints, transmission oil leakage is also one of the common quality problems of Jaguar Land Rover’s products. Some users said that the transmission oil leakage occurred when the new car they bought was driven less than 5,000 kilometers, which made some car owners unacceptable. Transmission oil leakage is still a chronic disease. One car owner has repaired the transmission oil leakage five times since he bought the car in March 2017, but the problem has never been completely solved.

　　Of course, there are also some 4S shops that don’t take the oil leakage of the transmission seriously. Clean up the surface and let the owners go home to observe it. However, the oil leakage of transmission is not small, which will lead to insufficient lubrication and accelerate the friction between gears. However, when the size is in a dry friction state for a long time, it will lead to gear damage and the transmission will be scrapped. Therefore, the oil leakage of transmission should be highly valued by car owners, 4S shops and manufacturers.

　　Among many complaints from users, low-frequency resonance has attracted our attention. Most of this complaint is directed at Land Rover Range Rover Star Pulse, but generally speaking, automobile products receive less such complaints. Some car owners said that when the vehicle is driving on a bumpy road, or the engine speed is between 1100 and 1500, whether driving or parking, the low-frequency resonance in the car is serious, and there is a strong ear-pressing feeling, which affects driving safety.

　　In fact, it is simply understood that low-frequency resonance is like flying, with high internal pressure and buzzing in the ear. The feeling of low-frequency resonance varies from person to person, and sensitive people will have adverse reactions such as headache and palpitation, which will affect normal driving. Jaguar Land Rover should pay full attention to this potential safety risk. However, judging from the complaints of car owners, Jaguar Land Rover has not effectively solved the problem of low frequency resonance.

　　For Jaguar, which is located in luxury, and Land Rover, which focuses on luxury all-terrain SUVs, there are many quality problems mentioned above, especially the core components, and some failures can’t be cured for a long time, which is really difficult to support the word "luxury". And consumers’ eyes are discerning. If this continues, I believe that its few clusters will be further reduced. Of course, this can’t blame the fierce competition, but Jaguar Land Rover’s own inaction.

Original Xiao yin yin ke aesthetics

In the 29th year of the serial of Detective Conan, people were finally disgusted by the author’s manipulation.

It’s completely disgusting.

Because, in the theatrical version, Ke Ai kissed.

This matter has been quarrelling vigorously for two weeks, and even the Sixth Princess has personally come off to comment.

Just released in Japan, the 26th theatrical version of "Fish Shadow of Black Iron" has also won a new label-golden soap idol drama.

Conan’s plot is getting worse and worse?

The quarrel between "Xinlan" and "Ke Ai" has existed since ancient times.

Even if the official repeated "Kudou Shinichi = Edogawa Conan" for several years, even if it started with "Mao Lilan from my childhood" for more than ten years, the CP party struggle still exists and will break out every once in a while.

But this time, it is the biggest one in recent times.

Because in Conan’s latest theatrical version, Detective Conan: The Fish Shadow of Black Iron, Conan and Haibara Ai kissed.

Whether it is the explosive content in the picture or the author’s unique style of writing, in short, this matter makes Xinlan powder unacceptable.

Because in the chapter of "Red School Travel", Xinyi and Xiaolan formally confirmed their relationship through SMS.

Therefore, this time, Keai’s operation directly led to the appearance of hot search four palaces.

The topic extends from Weibo to various platforms.

The same is true overseas, directly to the official face.

What is terrible is that Uniqlo is also on fire at this time.

It was found that in the joint name of Uniqlo and Conan, the author G?sh? Aoyama painted the signature paintings of Xinlan and Keai at the same time.

But Conan is wearing "Ke Ai" clothes.

As a comic book about Zhou Geng’s juvenile reasoning, which has been serialized for nearly 30 years, G?sh? Aoyama has entered a period of creative exhaustion.

Because in an interview in 2017, he said that when the serialization entered the third year, he fell into slack:

"It’s like living in hell. Every week, I draw color pictures and draw color pictures every week. The painting work of color pictures is several times as usual … But, after all, the most troublesome thing is the way of thinking about events. Every time, it’s murder and murder. I’m still dead when I think about events and techniques. "

However, the value of IP still exists, so even if the author’s creativity is exhausted, it should be updated regularly.

Therefore, Conan’s plot in the later period is more and more outrageous.

Such as various anti-Newtonian mechanical operations.

He fell from the roof of dozens of hospitals, but he used sheets as parachutes.

Moreover, I didn’t grasp it in mid-air and the sheets flew away.

However, he landed safely and unscathed ……

Jackie Chan wanted to retire, and Newton wanted to lift the coffin board and applaud him.

More importantly, even if Qingshan’s own creativity is exhausted, the writers of original animation will be released one by one.

Conan, the animated version, has always been the original comic+original story of the animation group to be updated weekly.

However, G?sh? Aoyama often stops publishing. In order to make Conan update stably, he has to add a lot of original plots.

It seems that writers prefer to write about Kogoro taking Conan to help people find armadillos rather than solving crimes.

In the past, Castle Peak would still guard the original plot, but in recent years, he didn’t have the energy, so the plot is getting worse and worse.

For example, the death of the western-style dessert boss was that he plunged into the red bean paste and was suffocated.

Red bean paste? ? Red bean paste? ? ! !

The criminal motive of the murderer’s female secretary is not a labor dispute or emotional injury.

But because the company’s top management wants to develop Japanese desserts.

In the eyes of the secretary of the western-style dessert fundamentalist, this is the original sin.

So, in order not to defile the pure western-style dessert, I killed the boss angrily.

Netizens are also crazy about whipping corpses, saying that Bai Yueguang couldn’t look straight when he was a child.

The whole network prays for a happy ending every week, so that everyone can die happily.

I used to look forward to watching every episode, but now I barely support it with my feelings.

Is the country full of people and the collective rotten tail?

If Castle Peak is a disgusting reader, Xu Feigang, the author of "The Prince of Tennis", is unabashedly disgusting.

Many domestic audiences’ cognition of "King of the Nets" may still stay in the sports passion fan featuring Ryoma Echizen, a tennis genius of Bking.

But in fact, this sport has developed towards science fiction and fantasy.

Kirihara Akaya likes to have the "demonization" function, and when he enters the state, he will become completely red.

I know that I am playing tennis, but I don’t know that I just returned from the battlefield.

Even netizens laughed at seeing "biodiversity" in "King of the Nets".

Tennis is no better than team sports such as basketball and football, without the cooperation and fetters between some partners, so Xu Feigang has to use more pen and ink to describe the confrontation between the two players.

To make an impression, you must be wild enough.

Therefore, the current role strength has entered the field of special effects awards.

Byodoin Temple Phoenix, the ace player, was "killed" by lightning in a training match on a rainy day. The evidence is that the hospital issued a death notice.

But after lying on the morgue for 13 hours, he miraculously resurrected.

After returning to the stadium from the grave, who saw it without saying: this is the real blood! ! !

It is because we believe in materialism that we have been approaching science for so many years for nothing.

In addition, there is even a biography of Bo Ren, which makes "Bibo Burning" spread all over the network on its own.

Since The Biography of Bo Ren was serialized, the 12-year-old Bo Ren had his back broken twice, his arm broken once, he was on the verge of death four times and died once.

And his father Naruto just met Sasuke KINOMOTO SAKURA at the age of 12.

Moreover, because "Biography of Bo Ren" is a monthly watch, the production of animated version has been severely restricted, and many original plots have to be added.

Next, it is inevitable that the plot will be flooded and the force value will collapse.

Therefore, in 2020, Ukyo Kodachi, who was scolded by fans for three years, finally failed to resist the pressure and announced his farewell to Biography.

However, it may be that some people think that this stalk itself is more passionate than Biography of Bo Ren.

Do you think the only thing that is ridiculous is the sun?

The absurdity of the country is even worse.

"Stealing the Stars in September" is the enlightenment of the post-90s.

The story itself is light-hearted and humorous. In September, the thief stole the jewel of the male host, Liu Xing’s Ziweixing, which triggered a series of adventure stories.

At least at the beginning.

But as the story unfolds, the plot begins to look like a runaway wild horse.

Because the explosion of comics far exceeded the author’s expectation, the pressure from the editorial department and readers forced him to make changes.

From monthly magazines to semi-monthly magazines to weekly magazines, the creators have already lost the ability to control the plot.

In today’s story discussion posts, what everyone is most interested in is to find fault together and study all kinds of wonderful plot loopholes.

Moreover, in order to prolong the story line, comics have gradually expanded from the relaxed atmosphere of cat and mouse at the beginning to the grand narrative of saving the world.

A large number of subplots, all kinds of "unconscious" ghosts, gods and demons, can always be mechanically set at critical moments, which makes the plot break away from the original outline.

Especially when the popularity soared in October, the author began to play cp bonus.

Finally, it is a big move-

The two leading men returned to their babies and were taken care of by the hostess in September.

Such a perfunctory party struggle ending makes the unforgettable love like a joke.

Whose leek are you cutting?

It seems that serial comics can’t escape the law of later collapse.

To put it bluntly, it means both old pink feelings and new pink benefits.

The result that both sides want is that both sides offend.

Say Conan, it should have ended in 1996.

G?sh? Aoyama felt that reasoning comic week was even more tiring and his creativity was almost gone, so he decided to take his assistants to Las Vegas for a holiday first, and then write Conan a grand finale when he came back, so he closed the pen.

Matsuda Jinpei’s case is Qingshan’s favorite case, so the dead people appear again and again.

But he got a call from the editor at the hotel-Conan is going to make a movie.

After rekindling the fighting spirit, Castle Peak experienced it personally in the theatrical version, especially the sixth "The Dead of Baker Street" reached its peak.

Not only did he make a breakthrough in narrative rhythm and special effects pictures, but he also made a profound reflection on the hereditary system of Japanese society and got a high score of 9.1 for Douban.

But later, in order to earn more money, I began to learn from Marvel Comics, and moved towards the road of emphasizing action and neglecting reasoning.

Especially after knowing that the female audience is the main audience group, they began to idolize IP and increase the weight of handsome guys and cp, but intentionally or unintentionally marginalized the original main characters.

The same is true of Biography of Bo Ren.

Let the previous generation and the next generation forcibly participate in the war at the same time under the condition of huge strength gap, and also imagine that everyone can play brilliantly. This plot can’t be designed at all.

It’s like letting Zhang Yining take Ti mo Feng to the women’s doubles. Can you still watch this game?

The old powder was hurt, and the new powder didn’t feel different, so naturally both sides didn’t get along.

Most famous cartoonists have been tortured by the editorial department.

Toriyama Akira, the author of Dragon Ball, once revealed that he hoped to finish his work many times, but under the pressure of editors, he kept opening a new chapter.

Behind the long serials of Death and Naruto, there is also the shadow of pressure from the editorial department. Only a few people can resist the pressure from the editorial department and carry out their creative ideas.

This is the common problem of long comic series.

Under the pressure of market demand and profit index, IP can’t be broken until it has drained all its value.

So, there are magic change, collapse, water injection, cp party and government …

When the theatrical version of Biography was released, the author Kishimoto Masashi said, "I can’t write a better story."

Well, let’s end the story.

(Experts refute that genetically modified soybean oil is carcinogenic, saying that domestic soybeans are superior or no longer) Network map

On June 6th, the Ministry of Agriculture approved the import safety licenses of three genetically modified soybean varieties. However, public opinion generally has doubts about the food safety of genetically modified soybeans, and at this time, Heilongjiang Soybean Association released an analysis report on "Genetically modified soybeans are highly correlated with tumors", which attracted the attention of experts and insiders. Some experts pointed out that there is no epidemiological evidence for the theory that genetically modified soybeans cause cancer.

Experts approve the theory that genetically modified soybean oil causes cancer

A few days ago, an analysis report by Heilongjiang Soybean Association that "genetically modified soybeans are highly correlated with tumors" triggered a "war of words" between opponents and supporters of genetically modified soybeans.

According to the relevant data in the 2012 China Cancer Registration Annual Report, Wang Xiaoyu, deputy secretary-general of Heilongjiang Soybean Association, said: "Based on my 20-year working experience in the grain industry, I found that the cause of cancer may have a great correlation with the consumption of genetically modified soybean oil."

According to Wang Xiaoyu’s specific analysis, Henan, Hebei, Gansu, Qinghai, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Fujian and other places are basically concentrated areas of consumption of genetically modified soybean oil in China, and these areas are also concentrated areas of tumor incidence in China. Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou and other places basically do not consume genetically modified soybean oil, and are not concentrated areas of tumor incidence.

After this series of remarks was widely spread, the safety of genetically modified food was once again pushed to the forefront. And triggered a "slobber" between opponents and supporters of genetically modified organisms.

In this regard, Chen Junshi, a researcher at the National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment and an academician of the China Academy of Engineering, said that the import of genetically modified soybeans and the high incidence of cancer in China are both facts, but the combination of these two things is groundless. Genetically modified soybean oil does not even contain genetically modified ingredients. "Genetically modified soybean oil is the most common genetically modified food that can be eaten. Strictly speaking, any genetically modified ingredients should not be detected in the genetically modified soybean oil, because the gene is protein, and protein has been removed from the refined soybean oil. The detection method of the food safety supervision department is very clever, and even a very small amount of protein can be detected from soybeans into oil. "

Yi Zhu, an associate professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University, also expressed the same view. She said: First of all, the occurrence of cancer is caused by many factors, and it is impossible to explain it by a single factor. Secondly, the consumption of genetically modified soybean products in the United States is more than that in China, so the incidence of cancer in the United States should be higher than that in China. In fact, the incidence of cancer did not increase significantly before and after eating genetically modified soybeans.

The advantage of domestic soybean industry is no longer.

On June 6th, the Ministry of Agriculture approved the import safety licenses of three varieties of genetically modified soybeans from Monsanto and BASF. Before the new batch of three varieties of genetically modified soybeans was imported, the Ministry of Agriculture had not approved the import of new genetically modified soybeans for at least three years, and since the import of genetically modified soybeans was allowed in 1997, a total of 11 varieties have been released.

According to the data of the Ministry of Agriculture, the genetically modified crops approved for import in the first half of 2013 include three kinds of soybeans, two kinds of corn and two kinds of cotton. The transgenic characteristics of three kinds of soybeans are herbicide resistance, insect resistance and insect resistance and herbicide resistance, which come from Monsanto and BASF respectively.

Undeniably, this incident not only made public opinion pay more attention to the safety of genetically modified foods, but also focused on the domestic soybean industry. As the original country of origin of soybean, the once industrial advantage of soybean in China is slowly being squeezed under the extrusion of transgenic varieties.

The advantages of imported genetically modified soybeans in quality and price are rapidly emerging, which has seized part of the original domestic soybean market, and domestic soybeans are crying for help one after another. As one of the soybean producing areas in the world, Heilongjiang has been pushed to the front line because of half of the country’s output.

Judging from the development history of Chinese traditional agriculture, the competitiveness and brand influence are very weak, but under the current market economy system, it is simply a "fantasy" to achieve long-term development through existing advantages. Therefore, if the domestic soybean industry tries to regain its former market advantage, it should also attach importance to its own development to adapt to the new pattern of market economy on the premise of maintaining market safety and order.
