Out-and-out False Proposition and Political Manipulation Full of Lies —— Authoritative experts comment on the speculation of "Taiwan Province’s participation in the World Health Assembly"

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 16th Title: Out-and-out false proposition and political manipulation full of lies — — Authoritative experts comment on people with ulterior motives and speculate that "Taiwan Province participates in the World Health Assembly"

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Shi Longhong Li Hanfang

  The 73rd World Health Assembly will be held from May 18th to 19th. At this time, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities stepped up the pace of "seeking independence through the epidemic", linked with the United States and other individual countries, and hyped up the so-called "Taiwan Province’s participation in the World Health Assembly". A number of authoritative experts told Xinhua that the so-called "Taiwan Province’s participation in the World Health Assembly" is a completely false proposition. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities are not really concerned about public health issues, but politicize the issue of epidemic prevention for the self-interest of political parties. The mainland has always attached great importance to the health and well-being of Taiwan Province compatriots, and continued to provide assistance for Taiwan Province to obtain public health information in a timely manner. According to the arrangement reached between China and WHO, on the basis of the one-China principle, Taiwan Province has smooth access to relevant information released by WHO, and Taiwan Province medical and health experts continue to participate in WHO technical activities in their personal capacity. Attempts by people with ulterior motives to kidnap the World Health Assembly by political manipulation full of lies will interfere with the process of the Assembly, undermine global cooperation in the fight against epidemic diseases, and do no good to the health of Taiwan Province people. On the contrary, it will worsen cross-strait relations, which will surely be resolutely opposed by compatriots on both sides of the strait and the international community.

  Taiwan Province’s participation in the activities of international organizations must be handled according to the one-China principle. The failure to attend the World Health Assembly was caused by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities.

  Yan Anlin, vice president of Shanghai Institute of International Studies, said that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan Province is a part of China. Taiwan Province’s participation in the activities of international organizations, including WHO, must be handled according to the one-China principle. The United Nations has repeatedly reiterated that it will adhere to the UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 to deal with the Taiwan Province issue. As a specialized agency of the United Nations composed of sovereign States, WHO abides by the resolutions of the General Assembly, and resolution 25.1 of the World Health Assembly reaffirmed resolution 2758 of the General Assembly. These are all hard facts, and there is no doubt about it.

  He pointed out that the Constitution of the World Health Organization and the Rules of Procedure of the World Health Assembly clearly stipulate that only sovereign countries are eligible to become members or associate members of WHO, and only sovereign countries, overseas territories or relevant international organizations that have not formally joined WHO are eligible to be invited to attend the WHO as observers. As a part of China, Taiwan Province is not eligible to attend the World Health Assembly as an observer. The World Health Assembly has rejected Taiwan-related proposals submitted by a few countries for many years, which fully reflects the general consensus of the international community in adhering to the one-China principle.

  From 2009 to 2016, Taiwan Province participated in the World Health Assembly in the name of "Chinese Taipei" and as an observer for eight consecutive years. Deputy Secretary-General of the National Taiwan Province Research Association said sternly that this was a special arrangement made through cross-strait negotiations on the basis of the "1992 Consensus" that both sides of the strait adhered to the one-China principle. However, after Democratic Progressive Party took office, he put political schemes above the well-being of Taiwan Province compatriots, stubbornly adhered to the "Taiwan independence" separatist stance and refused to recognize the "1992 Consensus", which led to the disappearance of the political foundation for Taiwan Province’s participation in the World Health Assembly, and the relevant arrangements were naturally unsustainable. Taiwan Province’s inability to participate in the World Health Assembly was caused by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, and the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are well aware of it.

  Wang Yingjin, director of the Research Center for Cross-Strait Relations of Renmin University of China, analyzed that Taiwan Province is not a sovereign country, so it is certainly ineligible to join international intergovernmental organizations composed of sovereign countries. Only on the common political basis of adhering to the "1992 Consensus" and opposing the "Taiwan independence" can the two sides make relevant special arrangements through pragmatic consultation and proper arrangements. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities are stubborn, trying to achieve a "breakthrough" with the support of some countries, such as the United States, while making "Taiwan independence" moves. This year, they are even more arrogant and have provoked some countries to put forward Taiwan-related proposals, even at the expense of kidnapping the World Health Assembly and damaging global cooperation against the epidemic to seek their own political interests. The consequences of the above-mentioned practices will seriously interfere with the process of the General Assembly and undermine international cooperation in fighting the epidemic, and will be resolutely opposed by the overwhelming majority of members of the international community, which is impossible to succeed.

  The mainland really cares about the health and well-being of Taiwan compatriots. The information channels between Taiwan Province and WHO are smooth and technical cooperation is unimpeded.

  Since the outbreak, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have repeatedly speculated on the WHO’s involvement in Taiwan, fabricated and spread rumors, falsely accused the mainland of concealing the epidemic situation in Taiwan, and claimed that Taiwan Province’s absence from WHO and the World Health Assembly would create an "international epidemic prevention gap" and threaten the health of Taiwan Province people. After being refuted by WHO, they made vicious attacks on WHO and its responsible persons and made unreasonable demands that violated the relevant provisions of international organizations. In this regard, experts pointed out that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are full of lies, black and white are reversed, and politicians and media in individual countries are following suit and spreading false information with ulterior motives.

  Yan Anlin said that the mainland has always attached great importance to the health and well-being of Taiwan compatriots and made proper arrangements for Taiwan Province to participate in global health affairs under the premise of the one-China principle. According to the arrangement reached between China and WHO, health institutions in Taiwan Province can obtain information released by WHO in time and update information directly to WHO through the contact window under the framework of WHO’s International Health Regulations. Medical and health experts in Taiwan Province have been attending relevant WHO meetings in appropriate capacity. These arrangements ensure that Taiwan Province can respond to public health emergencies in a timely and effective manner, whether on the island or internationally.

  The data shows that from the beginning of 2019 to the beginning of May 2020, 16 groups of 24 experts from Taiwan Province participated in WHO technical activities. On January 3rd, the mainland started the emergency notification mechanism for cross-strait public health emergencies, and informed Taiwan’s disease control departments of the epidemic situation in time. On January 12th, it specifically informed relevant parties in Taiwan about the sharing of Covid-19’s gene sequence with WHO and the ways to obtain related gene sequences. From January 12th to 14th, Taiwan Province experts were specially arranged to make a field trip to Wuhan to learn about the diagnosis, treatment and epidemic situation of patients diagnosed in COVID-19. It is understood that from February 5 to March 8, the mainland has shared 26 key technical materials with Taiwan; As of May 15th, the mainland has informed Taiwan of the epidemic situation 152 times.

  "The mainland has always maintained communication with relevant parties in Taiwan Province in the spirit of attaching great importance to the health and well-being of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and the channels for to obtain public health information released by WHO are also smooth. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities call it ‘ International epidemic prevention gap ’ And threats to the health of Taiwan Province people are completely untenable. " Wang Yingjin said, on the other hand, Democratic Progressive Party authorities’ treatment of Taiwan compatriots stranded in Hubei shows that they are not really concerned about people’s lives and health, only thinking about political abacus and taking the opportunity to seek "independence", taking people’s interests as political chips and showing the greatest disrespect to the people.

  Seriously, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities hyped the issue of participating in the World Health Assembly, not to obtain technical parameters, not to safeguard the health rights and interests of Taiwan Province people, but to flaunt the existence of so-called "sovereignty". Its claim that "not allowing Taiwan Province to participate in the World Health Assembly will lead to a gap in the international epidemic prevention system" does not exist at all, but is a lie and an excuse. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities’ hype about this issue at this time is to "seek independence through the epidemic", which is an out-and-out political manipulation, and it is not only unhelpful but also harmful to the well-being of the people of Taiwan Province.

  Using the epidemic to speculate on WHO’s Taiwan-related issues is entirely out of political conspiracy, wrong and dangerous actions, which further push Taiwan Province to danger.

  Seriously, it is pointed out that the United States has recently openly pleaded for Taiwan Province’s participation in the World Health Assembly and made great efforts to "perform", with obvious intentions. American politicians don’t care about the health and well-being of Taiwan Province people. There are two purposes behind manipulating Taiwan Province to join WHO and attend the World Health Assembly. First, to enhance the so-called "US-Taiwan relationship", make Taiwan Province more closely attached to the United States, and strengthen the strategic influence of the United States in East Asia; The second is an attempt to put pressure on the China administration to cater to the needs of the "pro-Taiwan" right-wing forces in the United States. Under the current background of Sino-US relations, the United States, which is used to playing the "Taiwan Province card", has made a fuss about the World Health Assembly in order to make better use of Taiwan Province to contain Chinese mainland.

  "The Democratic Progressive Party authorities tried to link up the support of some western countries and politicians, highlighting Taiwan Province’s so-called ‘ International presence ’ 。” Wang Yingjin said that what Democratic Progressive Party authorities really care about is not the outcome of Taiwan Province’s participation in the World Health Assembly. If it fails, it will just continue to "throw the pot" on the mainland and attack the mainland for ignoring the life and health rights of Taiwan Province people, so as to further incite the "anti-China hatred against China" populism on the island, raise cross-strait confrontation and achieve the political goals of "de-China" and various forms of "Taiwan independence".

  Li Peng, dean of Taiwan Province Research Institute of Xiamen University, believes that Democratic Progressive Party authorities believe that the epidemic provides an opportunity for them to promote the "Taiwan independence" process, and attempt to take the opportunity to strengthen the "independence" consciousness of Taiwan Province people, highlight Taiwan Province’s status as an "independent country" in the international community, and seek to promote "legal Taiwan independence". This attempt to incite populism to cover up the fact of its incompetence in administration and to provoke cross-strait confrontation to escort its "Taiwan independence" action is tantamount to taking the interests and well-being of the 23 million Taiwan Province compatriots as their own political bet.

  He said that in order to give courage to "seek independence through the epidemic", the Democratic Progressive Party authorities colluded with the anti-China forces in the United States and fully catered to the political operation of the United States to "throw the pot" at China. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities think that the complicated situation of Sino-US relations is a "good opportunity" for them to seek external support from the "de jure Taiwan independence", but in fact they have miscalculated. Willing to be a "pawn" of the United States at this time will push Taiwan Province to a more dangerous situation, and the United States cannot provide substantial help to the Democratic Progressive Party authorities in expanding the so-called "international space." The vast number of Taiwan Province compatriots should keep their eyes open and see who is really working for the well-being of Taiwan Province compatriots and who has repeatedly used the interests of Taiwan compatriots as a bargaining chip for personal gain.

Miao Liqi: After 7 hours of loading a car by hand, 85 technicians practice "god skills"

CCTV News:There are more than 2,000 parts and components in a car. Miao Liqi remembers them all, and she can’t accept them! It takes only 7 hours to complete the assembly of a whole vehicle independently? This is a piece of cake for Miao Liqi.

Miao Liqi is the section chief of the assembly workshop of Shanghai GM-Wuling Qingdao Branch, as well as the "Qingdao Chief Technician" and the "national operation technical expert". "I can assemble a car independently offline without the help of a workshop assembly line, and the whole process only takes 7 hours." This is not bragging. Miao Liqi now has a number of intermediate and senior skill level certificates, including welders, fitters, maintenance workers and engine assemblers, and he is also proficient in all major events and small situations in the workshop. Only 30 years old this year, how did he practice this "god skill"?

Interest is the best teacher.

Miao Liqi was born in a rural family in Gongzhuling, Jilin Province. He was very interested in the disassembly and maintenance of agricultural vehicles since he was a child. Later, he studied mechanical and electrical engineering at China Jiaotong University, and worked in an automobile company after graduation. It can be said that his long-cherished wish has been realized.

"I’ll show you again. Whether you can learn it depends on your understanding!" In June 2005, the company’s assembly workshop was an ordinary mentoring exercise, from which Miao Liqi entered the business. After 11 years of polishing, "auto parts worker" Miao Liqi has now grown into an "all-rounder of auto parts".

At a glance, you can judge which screw of the automobile interior is not screwed in place; You can judge which part of the engine is caused by listening with your ears. With diligent exploration spirit and hard-working style, Miao Liqi has developed a set of excellent automobile professional technology and solid business ability.

Thanks to "obsessive-compulsive disorder": it must be 100%

"The car that has passed my hand must be striving for perfection, and it cannot have the slightest defect. It can reach 100% and never 99%."

Always want to do things to the extreme, always feel that knowledge is not enough, which is the perfectionism of Miao Liqi, a "master of technology", and also his obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is not only the mapping of the craftsman spirit in the new era, but also the consistent pursuit of Miao Liqi.

Although he has already grown into a well-known craftsman and technician in the company, Miao Liqi feels that now is the golden age of life learning and accumulation. He used his spare time to catch up with his professional knowledge, learn management knowledge, take exams to improve his academic qualifications, and even recited the learning content in his dreams. Although he has grown from an ordinary assembly worker to a site manager in just three years, he said that he will continue to improve his professional knowledge and skill level with the mentality of "eager to learn, humble and foolish", and at the same time try to develop horizontally to make himself more professional and comprehensive in the field of vehicle assembly.

Masters love "invention": there is no end to innovation

Miao Liqi’s various suggestions on technological innovation are too numerous to mention, among which four have obtained company patents.

Colleagues really admire Miao Liqi. In addition to his technical proficiency, his innovation and creation also liberated everyone’s arms. Before installing a spare tire, it was necessary to put the arm under the chassis and rely on the strength of the arm to lift it. At the end of the day, almost everyone’s arm would be weak and weak. This problem inspired Miao Liqi to be willing to learn, and he just invented a spare tire machine. He uses the principle that the cylinder can be lifted by the control valve to make a car. After pressing the control valve, the spare tire can be installed on the car by lifting the cylinder, and the work efficiency is more than doubled.

Began in the way, the craftsman is in the heart. Miao Liqi’s life in Dont Ask For Help is brilliant. I only hope that every process I handle will be meticulously crafted and refined, and everything will be done in a down-to-earth manner. (Source of material clues: Zhonggong. com)

Do it yourself? Be careful about online shopping for medical devices.

  Household medical devices sell well and become one of the pillars of pharmacy performance.

  Consumers "place an order with one click" to purchase medical devices online? A little carelessness may lead to risks. According to media reports, a man recently bought a circumcision device online, and he was eventually sent to hospital for treatment because of his improper operation. The reporter visited a number of e-commerce companies and found that there are different brands and different prices of such products on sale in the market, but the stores have different attitudes towards the instructions and risk warnings of such medical device products. In this regard, some insiders reminded that the e-commerce platform has irregular problems such as unclear products for medical devices, no relevant business qualifications and risk-free tips. Consumers should be more vigilant when shopping online.

  Case: There are safety risks in surgical instruments at home.

  A few days ago, a report aroused social concern — — A man in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, was busy with his work. He circumcised himself at home by online shopping, and was sent to hospital for treatment because of improper operation, which caused bleeding in his lower body. The doctor reminds: Improper self-circumcision has the risk of necrosis. Although this kind of surgery is minor in medicine, it does not mean that ordinary people can do it at home. It has certain safety risks and may be accompanied by bleeding, wound infection and abnormal appearance. It is necessary to go to a regular hospital for professional treatment.

  It is reported that the circumcision device is a surgical instrument, which belongs to the second category of medical devices and is sold on all major e-commerce platforms.

  Reporters in JD.COM, Taobao, Pinduoduo and other mainstream e-commerce platforms found that the price of circumcision is mostly in the range of 100~300 yuan. When the reporter consulted an online shop, the customer service said: "There is no risk"; The customer service of another online shop stressed: "We are fully qualified and can deliver goods at any time", but it did not show relevant qualification certificates. The page of an online shop on the shopping platform indicates: "This product is only used by professional doctors and medical institutions, and ordinary individual consumers do not deliver it." The customer service told reporters that it is necessary to have a doctor’s license to deliver it. The backstage of another online shop also reminded that this product can only be operated by professional doctors, but when the reporter asked if it could be shipped after being photographed, the customer service said yes.

  Investigation: Some nose-clip snorers and laser hair removal devices are not clearly defined as medical devices.

  The reporter browsed the major e-commerce platforms and found that electronic sphygmomanometer, oximeter, oxygen generator, infrared physiotherapy lamp, snorer and sputum aspirator are the main products of online shopping medical devices. In fact, however, the Catalogue of Medical Devices clearly states that snorers, ventilation nasal patches and so on, which can improve snoring or dilate nostrils by dilating nasal cavity, maxilla and mandible or correcting them, belong to the second category of medical devices.

  The Catalogue of Medical Devices shows that the semiconductor laser hair removal instrument belongs to laser therapy equipment and is the third kind of medical devices, but the intense pulsed light hair removal instrument belongs to the second kind of medical devices. In 2018, National Medical Products Administration issued the Notice on Classification and Definition of High-intensity Pulsed Light Hair Removal Products, indicating that high-intensity pulsed light hair removal products are managed according to Class II medical devices. If an unqualified enterprise sells such products, the regulatory authorities may punish it for unlicensed sales or out-of-range operations.

  The reporter saw in Taobao that there are many kinds of household intense pulsed light hair removal instruments on sale, including Braun, Philips, Mujin and other big brands.

  When the reporter asked the customer service of a brand flagship store whether the products on sale belonged to medical devices, the customer service said that this was a household depilation instrument. It is reported that according to the regulations, since January 1, 2023, products of intense pulsed light hair removal may not be produced, imported or sold without obtaining the medical device registration certificate according to law. Some insiders said that home hair removal instruments are mainly sold online, and how to obtain the registration certificate of medical devices is an urgent problem for brand enterprises.

  National Medical Products Administration: Some medical beauty products are managed by medical devices.

  According to industry data, the consumption ratio of household medical devices and medical devices in China is about 1: 4 at present, while it is generally about 1: 1 in developed countries. There is a large market space for household medical devices, and the demand scale of household medical devices will continue to grow in the future. A person in charge of a chain pharmacy in Guangzhou told the reporter that household medical devices contributed one-third of the pharmacy’s performance, including blood pressure detectors, blood sugar detectors, electronic thermometers, foot physiotherapy devices and so on.

  In the face of endless chaos such as product abuse and out-of-range use, China is constantly strengthening supervision and clarifying the "concept" from the source. Just recently, National Medical Products Administration issued the Announcement on Adjusting Some Contents of the Classified Catalogue of Medical Devices to adjust the contents of the Classified Catalogue of Medical Devices for 27 types of medical devices. The adjustment contents announced this time include some medical beauty products, such as RF therapeutic devices and RF skin therapeutic devices, which are clearly regulated according to Class III medical devices; Facial embedding line and facial lifting line shall be supervised according to Class III medical devices. According to the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices, products that have not obtained the registration certificate of medical devices according to law will not be allowed to be produced, imported or sold.

  Little knowledge: medical devices are divided into three categories according to risks.

  It is reported that at present, China implements classified management of medical devices according to the degree of risk. Risks are divided into three categories from low to high:

  The first category is medical devices with low risk, which can be guaranteed to be safe and effective by routine management;

  The second category is medical devices with moderate risks that need strict control and management to ensure their safety and effectiveness;

  The third category is medical devices with high risks and need to take special measures to strictly control and manage them to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

  According to the Regulation on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices, those who engage in the operation of Class III medical devices shall apply for a business license and submit relevant materials to the department in charge of drug supervision and administration of the local municipal people’s government with districts. It is the obligation stipulated in the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Online Sales of Medical Devices to publish true product information when selling medical devices.

Cell review: organ specificity and medical application of fibroblasts

Original Cell Press CellPress cell science

Life science

Fibroblasts are diverse interstitial cells, which create signal niches by producing complex extracellular matrix and biophysical and biochemical clues, and participate in tissue balance and diseases. Fibroblasts have diverse lineages and a wide range of uses, but our understanding of these cells, which fill a considerable part of the human body, is still not comprehensive. Next, let’s understand the mysterious and fascinating fibroblasts from four aspects and embark on a human journey across time and space.

Definition of fibroblast

The term "fibroblast" refers to the following kinds of cells: (1) cells that secrete many macromolecules with the same structure and signal as the extracellular space of tissues; (2) Adopting the phenotype of myofibroblasts that contract instantaneously when dealing with tissue injury; (3) signal niche cells as resident stem cells; (4) As the progenitor cells of specialized differentiated interstitial cells, they are sometimes called mesenchymal stem cells (Lemos and Duffield, 2018; Pittenger et al. , 1999, 2019)。

Fibroblasts create and maintain anatomically diverse connective tissue rich in extracellular matrix (ECM) to support a wide range of basic organ functions, such as resisting blunt and sharp skin injuries, stretching and elastic retraction in the organ range of lung, etc. In addition to producing connective tissue, fibroblasts serve as the progenitor cells of specialized interstitial cell types during embryonic development, adult homeostasis, injury, repair and remodeling, such as osteoblasts forming bones or fat cells filled with lipids.

The origin and development of fibroblasts

In 1858, German pathologist Rudolf Virchow first described fibroblasts as a unique cell type, which he called "Spindelzellen des Bindegewebes"-"Spindle cells of connective tissue" (Virchow, 1858;; Fig. 2A). Ernst Ziegler first put forward the term "fibroblast" to describe cells that produce new connective tissue after healing (Ziegler, 1895;; Fig. 2B), this observation was replicated by Santiago Ramón y Cajal, who observed that "célula fusiforme" or "fibro-células" are important producers of granulation tissue in skin wound healing and scar (Cajal, 1986;; Fig. 2C). The appearance of in vitro technology developed in the 1900 s promoted the research of fibroblasts. These methods allow primary fibroblasts from embryonic chicken heart explants to be cultured, and these cells can easily propagate before other cell types after passage (Burrows and Neymann, 1917; Carrel, 1912; Ebeling, 1913; Hogue, 1919; Fig. 2D). More than 50 years later, 3T3 fibroblast cell line from mouse embryo was established (Todaro and Green, 1963; Todaro and others,1964) further promoted our understanding of the biological and genealogical potential of fibroblasts. These findings include the identification of fibroblast growth factor (FGFS) (Gospodarovicz, 1974); Multi-line differentiation of cultured fibroblasts into bone, cartilage and fat cells (Junker et al., 2010); And the key role of fibroblasts in the production, remodeling and contraction of ECM.

Although there are a lot of studies on fibroblasts in vitro, the in vivo correlation of these cells is still unclear, and the real characteristics of fibroblasts and their pedigree potential in the in vivo primary environment have only recently been deeply explored. New evidence shows that fibroblasts have promoted major changes in the tumor-related environment, which has been widely reviewed elsewhere (Sahai et al., 2020).

Organ specificity of fibroblasts

The existence of tissue-specific fibroblast function and lineage can support the development, homeostasis and repair needs of specific organs. During embryonic development, multiple cell lines coalesce to form fibroblasts, which are filled with organs from all three somatic germ layers, such as skin and breast derived from ectoderm, skeletal muscle or myocardium derived from mesoderm, and lungs derived from endoderm. When fibroblasts proliferate in specific organs, they will produce unique microstructure, biophysical and biochemical components of connective tissue.

In organs rich in epithelial cells (for example, skin and lungs), fibroblasts in the skin produce a mechanically elastic, viscous and elastic structural foundation, which supports the epithelial cells of the outward layered epidermis and its many appendages, mainly hair follicles and sweat glands. Fibroblasts and other mesenchymal cell lines in the skin have established three anatomically different layers: papillary dermis, reticular dermis and dermal white adipose tissue (dWAT) (Figure 5A). Skin epithelial cells are derived from ectoderm, which has a unique level of connectivetissue. In contrast, lung epithelium originated from endoderm, forming a highly branched tree and eventually forming an inflatable sac called alveoli. The gas exchange function of lung depends on the close physical connection between alveolar epithelium and extensive capillary network, and on the repeated and rapid expansion and contraction ability of lung. These functions require the reticular ECM of the lung, which has the best viscoelasticity, but is strong enough to withstand the change of air pressure and prevent alveolar rupture and potentially fatal air pressure trauma. With the maturity of the lung, the lung mesenchymal progenitor cells assume different spatial positions and functions, including smooth muscle cells around bronchi and blood vessels, pericytes, numerous interstitial fibroblasts, adipocytes supporting lung cells and mesothelial cells of visceral pleura (Peng et al., 2013; Fig. 5B).

In interstitial organs (such as skeletal muscle and heart), unlike skin and lung, skeletal muscle has no epithelial structure, but is composed of large, highly differentiated and multinucleated muscle fibers arranged in parallel, and its main function is to generate strength through contraction. The connective tissue in muscle has a complex layered tissue. Its innermost layer is called endocardium, which surrounds a single muscle fiber and contains a special basement membrane rich in laminin and collagen IV. Laminin acts through its transmembrane receptor, helping the mechanical force to be transmitted from the intracellular contraction device to the inner muscle layer rich in collagen I and III (Chapman et al., 2016). Muscle fiber group is called bundle, surrounded by perimuscular layer, which forms a continuum with tendon, and is rich in so-called perimuscular layer "cable", that is, thick connective tissue bundle mainly composed of closely arranged type I and type III collagen III fibers. Finally, the whole muscle is wrapped by the connective tissue layer of the adventitia (Chapman et al., 2016). Myocardium is an anatomically and physiologically complex contractile organ. Its main cell group, cardiomyocytes, are connected with each other, and an electrically coupled tissue is formed through the sandwich disc that constitutes its middle layer, which is called myocardium. The heart is also rich in fibroblasts, which produce and reshape a powerful ECM network, which is very important for conductivity and heartbeat rhythm. In addition to myocardium, fibroblasts also exist in the outermost epicardium, which contains specialized adipose tissue, and the innermost endocardium, with a layer of endothelial cells at its edge.Unlike most other organs’ fibroblasts, which originated from mesenchymal progenitor cells through gradual standardization, most cardiac fibroblasts are formed through EMT, and fibroblasts located in interventricular septum and right ventricle are products of EndMT (Gittenberger-de Groot et al., 1998; Fig. 5D).

Application of fibroblasts in diseases

At present, the approved anti-fibrosis therapy is aimed at the activation of fibroblasts in established diseases and cannot restore the structure and function of diseased tissues. Therefore, developing strategies to promote the repair of damaged tissues will greatly promote the development of this field.

Although the plasticity of fibroblasts may be problematic in the context of fibrotic diseases, it also provides opportunities for regenerative intervention. Recently, this understanding has promoted the development of in-situ reprogramming into fibroblasts by molecular strategy to restore tissue anatomy and function (including direct reprogramming). In skin wounds, the innate ability of fibroblasts to support hair follicle regeneration can be induced by transcription reprogramming.

Examples have proved that the principle of therapeutic reprogramming of fibroblasts in vivo can be realized in liver and heart, such as transferring transcription factors such as Foxa3, Gata4, Hnf1a and Hnf4a to myofibroblasts in liver through viruses, reprogramming them into hepatocyte-like cells, and reducing the signs of liver fibrosis in mouse models (Rezvani et al., 2016; Song et al., 2016). The above examples clearly emphasize the therapeutic potential of reprogramming tissue-resident fibroblasts directly into "working" cells, and suggest it as a new scar replacement strategy. However, there are still several important problems to be solved, including the efficiency of reprogramming factor delivery using non-integrated vectors and high fibroblast specificity (if not exclusiveness), in order to transform this attractive method into safe clinical application.

Conclusion and prospect

In the past decades, our understanding of fibroblast biology under different organs and conditions has made remarkable progress. New methods and techniques have made this field develop from phenotypic study of cultured cells more than a century ago to complex genetic and functional observation in vivo. These advances reveal that fibroblasts from different organs (such as skin, lung, heart and skeletal muscle) have unexpected similarities and unique characteristics, so they are currently used to treat human diseases.

While great progress has been made, many problems and opportunities still exist. For example, the ongoing efforts to adopt single-cell omics and space genomics technologies will provide key insights into the heterogeneity of fibroblasts within and between tissues, and their ability to assume multiple functional States for physiological or disease triggers. With our understanding of the basic function of fibroblasts far beyond the scope of ECM synthesis, in-situ regulation of fibroblasts can bring new therapeutic possibilities for a wide range of diseases characterized by aging, pathological remodeling and tissue fibrosis. New research fields, including cross-regulation between wound fibroblasts, immune cells and peripheral nervous system, are very important for understanding how to restore tissues to their pre-injury state. Finally, effective clinical transformation will require rigorous verification in local human tissues and human-like models, such as organotypic cultures, xenotransplantation and organs derived from pluripotent cells. These advances will make it possible to prevent, treat and even reverse fibrosis through proper and controlled repair.

Associate Professor of Peking University wrote an article recalling the past of Jiang Zhongping, the former vice governor of Jiangxi Province, who founded Gongqingcheng.

[Inscription]

At 16: 30 on March 5, 2017, the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s outstanding party member, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of Jiangxi Provincial People’s Congress, former deputy governor of Jiangxi Provincial People’s Government, and national and provincial model worker Jiang Zhongping died in Nanchang at the age of 74.

On March 9th, Jiangxi Political Reading, an information daily, learned that Liu Chunrui, an associate professor of Chinese Department in Peking University, wrote an article recalling Jiang Zhongping’s life after learning of the death of Comrade Jiang Zhongping. With the consent of Professor Liu, we hereby forward this article.

On the Honest Life of Pioneer Jiang Zhongping

Liu Chunrui, Associate Professor of Chinese Department of Peking University.

Liu Chunrui data map

At 4: 30pm on March 5th, Mr Jiang Zhongping passed away. People are weak, which increases my sadness. The Communist Youth City, which he led the Communist Youth Reclamation Team, is located in Duchang, my hometown, separated from Poyang Lake, and looks east and west. When I was in primary school, the intern teacher told us the advanced deeds of Mr. Wang’s reform and entrepreneurship, which sowed a seed of youth for us. Last autumn, after visiting Nanchang, I was very excited to see Mr. Wang splash ink in his studio. At that time, he was still healthy and had the strength to fight the disease. Now, his sudden return to Daoshan is very painful to me. In this rather quiet midnight in the northland, sound of spring came slowly. Holding a pen, I sat in front of the window, and the bright image of my husband, aboveboard and selfless, reappeared before my eyes. With this article, I send my condolences from afar.

one

In January 1944, Jiang Zhongping was born in a poor family in Sunxiang Village, Tongzha Town, hanshan county City, Anhui Province. At the age of 10, he lost his father. At the age of 15, he took two young sisters to say goodbye to his lonely grandmother, looking for his mother, and moved to Gongqingcheng, Jiangxi. He lost his mother at the age of twenty, and joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) at the age of twenty-six. He has successively served as Party Secretary and Director of Gongqing Reclamation Farm, Deputy Secretary of De ‘an County Committee, Deputy Secretary of Nanchang Municipal Committee and Mayor, Vice Governor of the Provincial Government and Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People’s Congress. He has also been elected as Executive President of China Arts and Crafts Association, National Model Worker, Representative of the Eighth National People’s Congress and Representative of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Jiang Zhongping went through hardships all his life, fought bravely and persevered, devoted all his life energy to the cause of the party and the people, and propped up the whole family with strong arms.

On the banks of Poyang Lake in 1960s, a barren land where snails were everywhere and schistosomiasis was a disaster, and a place without any marks on the map, Jiang Zhongping led the Communist Youth Reclamation Team to create a city of youth, reform and ideal. This place was named by Comrade Hu Yaobang as Gongqing Society, Gongqing Reclamation Field and Gongqing City.

The difficulty is greater than the current situation, and the reform is easy to unite the spirit. In July 1969, the Communist Youth League was forced to split up, and the Communist Youth League moved to the more desolate and remote South Lake. During the rainy season, 30,000 bricks and tiles for the covered duck factory were demolished, all of which were submerged in the huge waves. Without hesitation, Jiang Zhongping was the first to jump into the flood, but they just fished out all the bricks and tiles. That year, the salted duck factory was built, which stabilized people’s hearts and earned 90 thousand yuan, and passed the most difficult period of the farm.

He led the "Communist Youth League" to create "Duck Duck" brand down jackets and fist products such as dried salted duck, beer and lean pig, which were exported to more than 40 countries and regions, earning more than 12 million US dollars in foreign exchange each year, and the per capita output value reached more than 16,000 yuan, creating a new model of no agriculture, no work, no wealth and no business in the whole country, making the Communist Youth League "famous all over the world".

From scratch is a revolution, and everything is a realm. Every step forward, there are always storms and hardships. After the hurricane, rebuild your home; There is no town, create it yourself. In the 24th Spring and Autumn Period of the Communist Youth League, his name has been deeply engraved in this emerging city. He is like a winter plum, tenaciously blooming on the banks of the misty Poyang Lake, watching the Communist Youth League, and the fragrance overflowed in the spring of the motherland’s reform and opening up, becoming the weathervane of that era! In the face of these extraordinary achievements, he always said that this is the grace of the party, and the credit belongs to the times and the people.

Middle-aged official, performing his duties in Nanchang, cultivated for ten years, with a strong pen and heavy color, which left a good reputation. He dared to break in, transform the old city of Nanchang, build Yanjiang Road and Nanchang Bridge, and rebuild Tengwang Pavilion. He worked hard to build a new Yuzhang, repair overpasses, Changbei Airport and Economic Building. "Nanchang speed" and "Hongdu experience" became hot topics that people talked about at that time. After working in the provincial government, he still maintained a strong revolutionary fighting spirit, worked conscientiously, assisted the governor in grasping circulation, activating the market, promoting opening up, developed business with the courage of opening up, innovating and being the first, prospered the urban and rural markets, expanded inter-provincial cooperation, and worked hard for the opening up and development of Jiangxi. During his tenure at the Standing Committee of the Provincial People’s Congress, he studied the policies and business of the work of the National People’s Congress, and did some fruitful work in promoting financial and economic legislative supervision and planning and budget review. After retiring from the leadership position, he still insisted on studying, adjusted his mentality, participated in various activities within his power, and contributed to the cause of the party and the people.

In his later years, Jiang Zhongping visited the Heart Art Garden and worked tirelessly as the executive president of China Arts and Crafts Association. Grand composition, thick lines and strong brushwork are the main styles of his calligraphy and painting art. Anyone who has seen his live paintings will be amazed at the waves at the bottom of his pen and the clouds on the paper. Such artistic personality is the result of decades of entrepreneurial spirit. His pioneering will and enthusiasm for hard work have been fully demonstrated in his free art kingdom.

two

Jiang Zhongping has a general temper and dares to fight against evil forces; He is also a heavy drinker, and he will be drunk when he meets his bosom friends. He is bigger-minded, either not doing it or being the first.

He is big, as if he were born with it. In his early years, when he was herding cowboys in his hometown in Anhui, he was king of the children; Youth entrepreneurship Communist Youth League, starting from scratch to create a world; Being in charge of Nanchang in middle age has created many firsts in the whole province and even the whole country; The paintings and calligraphy in his later years are mostly large landscapes. Bamboo, only take its fresh strength; Pastoral, only praise its harvest; Autumn cliff, only painting the flying of mountain waterfalls; In the native land, "the willows on the shore are constantly looking forward, and the long Huai is thousands of miles into the new autumn", which is written about the power of clearness.

Whether starting a business or reforming, he dares to think and do it, stand tall, look far, have courage and have a big pattern. He is ahead of his ideas. When there is Poyang Lake, he will raise more ducks. When there are more ducks, he will run a dried salted duck factory. When there are more duck feathers, he will run a down factory and a winery when there are more guests.

If I read the mountain, I realized the existence of "big"; If I read the classics, I see the realm of "big". Mencius said: "Abundance is beauty, and fullness and brilliance is greatness." Zhuangzi highly praised "big", and he compared those who bear the blue sky, unique cloud spirit and are suitable for the south to Dapeng, which is a symbol of ideal personality. Adults and gentlemen are always admired by the world. Communist party people associate "greatness" with the liberation of mankind, and put the people’s cause first.

Regardless of the small, regardless of personal gains and losses. Big and magnanimous, not surprised by honor or disgrace. Big and heroic, a bright moon, remain uncorrupted. Great and fearless, fearless in times of crisis, fruitful in doing things. Big and open-minded, life and death are the same, and enlightenment is the Year of the Crane. Many of his words and deeds can be described as consistent in the "big" here.

Jiang Zhongping loves mountains, and he loves the land under his feet. He loves heaven with depth, people with temperature and children with moderation.

In May 1982, he led a delegation to Japan to study down processing technology. When I came back, the suitcase was full of all kinds of down technical data, but there was not a tight Japanese appliance. Others advised him to move to a new house, but he insisted, "I won’t be the last to move until all the employees live in the new house." I live in a low, damp old bungalow, worrying about its people and enjoying myself.

He often said that people should have spirit. The reason why the wheel of human beings rolls forward is that only by facing difficulties can it be solved. After suffering from a serious illness, his work and rest remained unchanged, his distress did not increase, he was optimistic and never bowed his head. Persuade children to say that he has been satisfied all his life, feeling grateful to the party, thanking friendship and being filial to Reiko, and there are not many regrets.

The first thing I did after waking up from major surgery was not to ask him about his illness, but to ask his classmates who came to visit him from other places. How was the arrangement? Did you not treat your friends badly? He is such a person, who cares about many people and few about himself. Many people contribute to their country, but few give to themselves. Even though he was seriously ill, he still thought very little of himself, and told his family not to cause trouble to the country. He said that things have come to this point, and the road is natural, and heaven and man are one.

People’s hearts are full of meat. Suffering from illness, there is no pain! But he has always been a strong ninja, trying not to let people find his emotional changes. I really can’t insist on going. I can only hum a few times at most. He is such a man, such a gentleman and such a true hero.

three

Jiang Zhongping has always been optimistic. In November of the year before last, when the serious illness was just found out, the doctor judged that he would not live for 9 months. After the operation in May last year, he lost a lot of weight, and when he saw his youngest son’s bloated body, he did not forget to ridicule that he still had a figure to wear clothes to be beautiful. On December 12th last year, it was his seventy-third birthday. His children were very happy and held a simple birthday party for him at home. He said that the Central Committee has eight regulations that cannot be extravagant, and then said easily: "The past year has been like a year for others, but it has been like a year for me." I hear it in my ears, but it hurts in my heart. What a powerful spiritual strength his old man must have to support such a relaxed smile.

Jiang Zhongping’s son said, "With my sick father, I have experienced what it means to race against time, and I feel that life is more and more precious, and the most rare thing is a deep affection between father and son. I really want to say to him:’ I don’t want anything. You can live, which is the greatest gift for our children.’ "

Liang Jikuan recalled that his father, Mr. Liang Shuming, said that at that time, his father’s whole task was to preserve the tradition of "gentle". He said that as long as China’s culture does not die, the nation will not die. Mr. Liang has no time to teach his children face to face and to teach them by example. But Mr. Liang Jikuan clearly saw the tall figure after his father hurried. This tall figure is the deepest thought and the most touching education.

Seek things from the overall situation, have a bright heart, be an upright person, and take great care of people. -This is the deepest thought and the most touching education that Jiang Zhongping gave his children.

He said: "I have benefited the most from the party’s grace in my life. Without the cultivation of the party, there would be no life course for me. " Teach your children and remember the party’s kindness all your life.

In his article Yaobang and Our Communist Youth League, he said: "Gongqing City was created by Comrade Yaobang under the guidance of the Communist Youth League. Every step of development here cannot be separated from Comrade Yaobang’s great concern. Comrade Yaobang will always be with us Communist Youth League members. Comrade Yaobang’s spirit will always reflect the Communist Youth League like the light of the sun, inspiring us to move towards a brighter tomorrow! " He led the Communist Youth League to cultivate people, which was bathed in the sunshine and dew of the party and deeply cared by Comrade Hu Yaobang, so that he could go straight against the current, cut through difficulties, make progress from scratch; Only two "perseverance" in his life (hard work and reform and innovation) can be realized, and only then can he have the "Communist Youth League Model" and "Hongdu Experience" which are famous throughout the country.

four

Jiang Zhongping’s prime of life coincides with the reform and opening-up. In the tide of the times, he made extraordinary achievements by making waves, braving the wind and waves, which is attributed to that great era. It was the great times that perfected his personality of reform and innovation, and he added luster to his times with his innocent youth.

The avenue of Jiang Zhongping’s life, the "big" ideological personality formed by the avenue, can only be alive, true and powerful if it is placed in its great era. This is the most honest ideological education he left us.

The wonderful pen and flowers published in 2014 is his last collection of paintings and calligraphy. The collection also includes the blue-and-white calligraphy giant porcelain plate "Qinyuanchun Snow" created in 2006. This large-scale porcelain calligraphy, which won the title of "the best in kiness in the world", is vigorous and forceful. Seeing this painting, his tall body, indomitable will, approachable temperament and indomitable gentleman image stood before my eyes.

Entrepreneurship, politics and art constitute his trilogy of life. Entrepreneurship and politics have enriched his artistic connotation; Wandering in art has improved his life realm. Righteousness is the cultivation and education of the party; Big is the essence of his temperament. The unity of "fairness" is the most distinctive personality of Jiang Zhongping’s life.

His eldest son, Comrade Jiang Bin, wrote in the poem "Father": "When I was a child, my father’s shoulders were the mountains that stood, and they were the lookouts." Now, standing on a high sentry post, looking into the sky, the starlight overhead, like his deep love, is clear and bright.

Outside the window, the moonlight, like water, quietly spilled on his book painting, as warm as the old days of primary school. And the looming starlight is also here at this time.

Raise your pen, and you will be in constant pain, followed by singing;

Simple and lofty sentiments, gods and virtuous,

So, you are here!

I’ve gone astray for a long time,

Looking for you in the busy crowd.

If your holy tree grows on earth,

Only on Gao Gang can it be lush and green.

Compared with pleasant tranquility,

I feel vulgar when I get along with people.

How can make-up beauty have it?

The amorous feelings of this spring stream in Yun Chuan?

Cruel passion makes infatuated people

Carve the lover’s name on the tree.

They don’t understand or don’t want to admit it.

How can lovers compete with starlight!

Lovely starlight, if I hurt you,

Please carve your own name.

The morning breeze is your kind smile,

The earth is your steady posture.

Autumn acquaintances count the years of the Communist Youth League,

The starlight of the pine moon is swaying and echoing the tide.

Singing beautifully in the starry sky,

Reflected on the vast shore of blue waves.

This place is full of vicissitudes of life,

My image flows here.

Life here, how wonderful!

A cluster of azaleas guarded the hill.

The earth here is so beautiful!

Bitian’s poems can’t hold back sorrow.

Sweet grapes on vines

Squeeze the fragrance of Joan juice from my lips.

The brightness in the shadow of Ganjiang lamp

Please wake up my dream pen, and the world will be full of baskets.

You wash the waves of the dark clouds with nail polish,

You use mountains to support the sea that holds the sun.

In your otherworldly world

Life has never been as blue as the sea;

In your burly and stalwart personality

Time is as clear as olives!

Let all creators go in and out with the times

Dreams and butterflies, a trip to the forest.

Born here with a clear spring,

Or a moss-covered stump of a fruit tree.

The clothes of the body were thrown outside,

My little soul flew into the sentry post.

Like a bird singing happily in spring,

And comb its silver wings.

Let the wings shine brightly,

Until you carry the sky and spread your wings.

A paradise that used to be poor and happy,

That’s it, shared by starlight.

Such a pure and sweet homeland,

The high starry sky stems from ardent yearning.

Stepping on the light, that shape

A stream of reeds is dyed for the beautiful spring.

Thousands of charm, feeling the power of love.

The teenagers here stand and look into the distance.

Goose,-You are my moonlight.

Sprinkle on the backbone of great love.

Skilled gardeners use branches and flowers,

How exquisite the sundial is!

The hard-working bee among the flowers,

I am also busy calculating the time skillfully.

Such a vibrant spring scenery,

How can you not share it with the world!

The proverbs of Zhuang and Lao, who have everything but nothing.

At the beginning of the universe, please settle my heart at ease.

The true meaning of Yangming studies with one mind and one mind

Let the hibiscus be clothed with stars and chardonnay, and open its heart to light.

Beautiful mountains and rivers reflect the sun and the moon,

The breeze is strong and the sea is vast.

We create and develop there.

Even though it is a dangerous beach, it is fearless of thunder storms!
