Metformin, new role discovered

On September 12, a research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences published a result in the journal Cell, titled “Metformin decelerates aging clock in male monkeys.” After eight years of in-depth research, its findings were confirmed in primates. Metformin can significantly delay aging, especially protecting the brain cognitive function of elderly animals. This study found that the protective effect of metformin on primate aging does not depend on its traditional blood sugar and metabolic regulatory functions, but will reset the intrinsic program of cellular aging, thereby delaying cellular aging. Previously, in a research report titled “Metformin facilitates viral reservoir reactivation and their recognition by anti-HIV-1 envelope antibodies” published in the international magazine iScience, scientists from the University of Montreal and other institutions found through research that metformin may help HIV-infected people who are receiving treatment clear the reservoir of the virus in their bodies and eventually eliminate the virus. ...

A domestic giant in imaging equipment

Imaging equipment is an indispensable medical product for building a clinical diagnosis and treatment system. Medical imaging equipment interacts with the human body through a certain medium (such as X-rays, electromagnetic fields, ultrasound, etc.), and presents the structure and density of internal tissues and organs of the human body in the form of images for diagnostic physicians to judge and evaluate the health status of the human body. Commonly used medical imaging equipment in clinical practice includes computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MR), X-ray imaging equipment, nuclear medicine diagnostic equipment, and ultrasound equipment (US). Medical imaging of different modalities has different working principles, imaging characteristics, application scenarios, and advantages and disadvantages, but the functions are relatively consistent: Medical imaging equipment is one of the basic diagnostic options before most diseases are currently intervened, especially in the context of aging in China. Most aging-related diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ...
