To pay attention to gastroesophageal reflux disease,the incidence of stomach disease in China is on the rise.

The rate of disease in the Chinese stomach is rising. The incidence of gastric cancer in young people aged 19 to 35 has doubled from 30 years ago, and it has become a "new disease" and "heart disease" for many young people.
There is a group of people around us who have a stomachache and stomachache at work. Some work a busy stomach also can often ache, eat what have no appetite; Others even become the "old disease" of chronic gastritis and need to carry medicine with them. Intense work and life, too much pressure makes people with stomach trouble more and more.
To pay attention to gastroesophageal reflux disease,the incidence of stomach disease in China is on the rise.

To pay attention to gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Gastroesophageal reflux is due to the abnormal gastric contents reflux to the esophagus, causing the mucosal injury and chronic syndrome, this is a very common gastrointestinal diseases, a high incidence in the crowd, even healthy people after the improper diet, sometimes also can appear the phenomenon of heartburn and reflux.

About 30 percent of people report symptoms of reflux almost every day, while 40 percent report at least once a month, according to the survey.
Therefore, esophageal reflux disease and its symptoms are very common and should be taken seriously. With the improvement of the quality of modern life, the diet structure has changed, and the obesity population has also increased, which can lead to the increase of the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The expression of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Reflux stimulation causes esophageal symptoms: heartburn, chest pain, acid, belching, reflux, dysphagia, etc.
Symptoms other than esophagus: laryngitis, laryngitis, laryngopharyngeal foreign body sensation, throat congestion, chronic cough, asthma, aspiration pneumonia, snoring, etc.
Complications: upper gastrointestinal bleeding, esophageal stenosis, Barrett esophagus, etc.

Eight Suggestions for preventing gastroesophageal reflux disease.
1. Reduce the intake, the satiety causes the lower esophageal sphincter to relax. Eat slowly and eat a small number of meals.
Dinner is especially unfavorable for food; Avoid eating four hours before bedtime. Patients with esophageal stricture, fast food intolerance, depending on the severity, select the pap, semifluid or liquid, the slow swallow a bite, or swallow soon by taking the soda for food.

2.Drink less acidic beverages, alcohol, etc., in order to prevent the lower end of the esophageal sphincter tension, especially the alcohol can reduce the frequency of peristaltic contraction of the esophagus.

3.Eat less food that slows the stomach. Gastric emptying delay not only indirectly increases the chance of reflux, but also causes abdominal distension and belching. This kind of food mainly includes some sticky food, such as zongzi, rice cake, yuanxiao, wine and so on.

4.Increase protein intake, stimulate gastrin secretion and increase the pressure of the esophageal sphincter. Therefore, some proteins can be appropriately added in the food, such as lean meat, milk, soy products, egg white, etc.

5.Eat less irritant, eat less chocolate, cook less spices, such as chili, curry, pepper, garlic, mint, etc.

6.Try to minimize the increase in abdominal pressure, such as over bending, wearing tights, and tying a belt.

7.Gastroesophageal reflux often relapse when the hypothesis, because the hypothesis when the reflux is horizontal movement, vertical than sit a bottom-up movement is easier, at the same time, when in a state of sleep, stomach mouth up and down the two doors of sphincter is in a state of relaxation, the role of inhibition of gastroesophageal reflux. Like sleeping on the bed, the bed mat can be 15~20 centimeters high, this is an effective way to reduce the counterflow, if necessary, you can also take a tablet before bed.

8.Medication should be administered under the guidance of a physician to avoid side effects of drug abuse.

Why do we have stomach trouble when we are young?


Why do we have stomach trouble when we are young?
1. In China, Because a lot of young people just graduated from school, soon to step into society, so the economic pressure will be bigger, because the job is not very stable, the guarantee of life in big cities is not completely, many people are often in the company have a cheap fast food, eat quickly will continue to work, so long the comprehensive nutrition, cause the body immune system problems, also can affect the function of intestines and stomach, resulting in some stomach trouble.

2.Because of life pressure and work pressure is too large, often can make young people feel very nervous, can't let up, so there will be work and rest time is not fixed, lead to increased the risk of stomach trouble, so can make a lot of young people intestines and stomach problems.

Reducing improper joint replacement can save billions of dollars.

According to a review published this week in JAMA, avoiding inappropriate knee and hip replacement can save about $12.7 billion.
Reducing improper joint replacement can save billions of dollars.

With an average medical insurance rate of $13,000 to limit the cost of knee and hip replacements, about $4.4 billion is saved each year.
The authors say the lack of patients with education, changes in equipment prices, and the use of inpatient and outpatient Settings can also help to increase the cost of these programs unnecessarily.
In 2014, the United States conducted 723,000 knee replacements and 505,000 hip replacements, costing more than $20 billion. That is equivalent to 226 knees and 204 hip replacements per 100,000 people, more than the replacement rate of other high-income countries. As more and more young people opt for joint replacement, the incidence of these operations is also increasing, the article said.

At the same time, the author says the United States of 205 knee arthroplasty a study concluded that more than a third of the patients are considered to be inappropriate, may save the cost of $8.3 billion.

See what drives costs and programs can help reduce overall health care costs. In some parts of the country, for example, compensation for knee and hip replacements ranges from $17,000 to nearly $60,000 in other areas. The price of the implant is also $4,000. A study in 2017 found that in expensive hospitals, the cost of knee and hip replacements was 2.1 times and 1.7 times the cost of hospitals with lower costs.

To control costs, the authors recommend limiting payment differences and treating patients with treatment options and risks in the decision-making process. Increasing the price transparency around the prosthesis will allow hospitals to compare prices and reduce the purchase price.

Moving more programs to the clinic can also save a lot of money. The authors cite the mobile surgery center's estimate that a quarter to half of knee and hip replacement can be performed in the clinic. Transferring only a quarter of the health care facilities to outpatients could save Medicare about $714 million a year.

CMS's integrated care joint replacement (CJR) bundle payment plan is another way to reduce costs. The model will tie the cost of hospitalization and the care costs of patients with knee and hip surgery after 90 days of discharge, and reward hospitals that exceed the cost and quality benchmarks.

As mobile payment spread, many people have been unwittingly got to go out with mobile phones, the habit of leaving her wallet, there are a lot of people don't remember when was the last time went to the bank to withdraw money, and at the same time, ATM machine utilization ratio is lower, the market on the voice of the ATM opportunity will not be eliminated gradually.

The reporter visits found, the ATM machine "meets the cold" phenomenon and can not generalize. "There has been a decline in demand for traditional atms, but the notion that atms are being eliminated is overblown." A member of the settlement management department of a share bank told reporters.A number of bankers interviewed said there was no obvious sense that the ATM was being phased out. Instead, the upgraded bank intelligent machines are replacing the labor, which brings more convenient and faster service experience to customers.

ATM self-service.
ATM self-service.

Traditional ATM machines are no longer popular.
In crowded areas, ATM machines, the scenes of long queues, seems to emerge in your mind, but now, popular commercial area, hospital, subway station, and community bank ATM machine become very little activity.
Recently, the Beijing reporter in xidan hanguang department store, observes discovery, very long time not only the ATM machine has few people to visit, even the cashier desk in the department store, customer queuing phenomenon also rarely appeared. Many of the brands' counters can be paid by 'scanning the code (qrcode)'. Occasionally, customers will use cash or swipe CARDS, and the staff will open the documents to the cashier for payment." Hanguang department store, a saleswoman told reporters.

In a large community in fengtai, the self-service network of the bank found that the utilization rate of the deposit and withdrawal in the 24-hour self-service equipment was much higher than that of the ATM.
In half an hour, the vast majority of self-service customers are saving money.
"During the Spring Festival, a large number of red packet were received, and the cash payment was seldom used. Therefore, it is convenient and fast to deposit in the ATM." A customer who used an ATM during this period told reporters.

It has been a win-win project for business districts, subway stations and office buildings. It is convenient for customers to add water and promote their brands.
ATM machine utilization rate significantly decreased in the past two years, business district, a lot of Banks for the rent cost, maintenance cost and other factors taken into account to remove some of the old equipment, but most of the bank's actions and not so fast, also in a 'wait-and-see'." A Chinese state-owned banker said.

According to the overall statistics of China's central bank payment system, the total number of atms in the country was 92.42 million by the end of 2016, an increase of 5.75 million over the previous year, with a growth rate of 6.63%.
By the end of the third quarter of 2017, the number of ATM machines in China was 94.77 million, up 4202 units from the end of last quarter, and the number of ATM machines per 10,000 people was 6.85, up by 3.53% year on year.
It is worth noting that in 2012 and 2013, the annual growth rate of ATM machines in China was about 25%.

Reporters to Beijing and some Banks in hebei to check whether the ATM machine is being phased out.
In this regard, many Banks have said that they still need ATM machines, but many kinds and functions are the direction of future development.
"Cash transaction service, ATM machine mainly do before now through bank technology updates, and the cooperation, ATM is becoming a comprehensive intelligent equipment trading, in financial field, can complete more complicated business, handling in the field of life service, can pay the utility costs, bus card prepaid phone, ticket booking, etc." A bank worker in Beijing said.

At a joint-stock bank headquarters, he says: "according to its understanding, at present the bank have no plan of new ATM machine in shopping malls, subway station, but new outlets must be equipped with 24-hour automatic equipment. ATM machines are not limited by time and are convenient for customers. They are necessary for a long time.

"There is also a reason for the decline in ATM machines due to the closure of branches due to comprehensive consideration." At the headquarters of the joint-stock Banks, he says, is "physical light-duty outlets are many Banks to take the train of thought, some branches off leaving only self-service ATM service, and some even removed with ATM, but looking from the existing data, and cannot accurately judge the ATM machines are pulling out of the market, and transformation is the development direction of the bank."

Intelligent equipment becomes the main force of transformation.
The increase in cashless applications does pose a challenge to bank atms, but it also accelerates the pace of its transformation. Under the background of financial science and technology, bank branch construction is developing towards "smart" and "light", and the upgrade and transformation of ATM machine is also the meaning of the problem.

A bank's ATM machine staff told reporters that the company ATM project team is committed to business functions update, only traditional deposit and withdrawal, transfer and check balances ATM machines are being upgraded to a more intelligent, more convenient self-service machine."Today's ATM ATM has added feature business modules in addition to its basic functions," the business insider said. That is, in addition to deposit and withdrawal, transfer, check balance, etc., also support time deposit, buy financial management and query financial evaluation and so on.

"Customer group is given priority to with elderly people in the city, they are keen to high interest rates of deposit or financial products, especially the old people not so proficient in operating, and have free time, more inclined to personally to the bank to transact business." The business people said.

Asked whether the bank ATM machine existence phenomenon, the declining use of hebei competent a subbranch of a bank settlement, said a deputy governor of the bank ATM machine not only has not been eliminated, instead became the main force of business.

"For example, in our bank for the one-year deposit and withdrawal business, the interest rate for manual handling at the counter is 1.95%, and the interest rate of the ATM machine is 2.10%. Since the use of self-service equipment to handle the deposit business interest rate is high, it is easy to be accepted by customers, and the upgraded ATM machine is very popular.
"In addition, our bank certificates of deposit and CD machine, recycling machine, card machine, electronic banking experience and so on, customers are not familiar with machine operation at the beginning, rather than in a long time some such as window, but the Banks with a large number of machines used to guide personnel, some customers have used a few times, can skilled operate by himself."

It is worth noting that the bank also has a "money cabinet" machine, an upgraded ATM. This device to save atms much higher recognition rate than the average, ordinary ATM machine only once in a less than 100 face value is RMB 100 yuan, and "till" machines at a time can even access to hundreds of thousands of yuan, for customers with large demand, can save a lot of time, also avoid a customer in front of the ATM machine operation caused a large number of customers waiting in line for a long time.

At the same time, deputy governor of the above said, toward the window where the branch is almost only business need to be dealt with artificial, individual business is only the passbook and report the loss of business, other business basic can be done on self-service equipment intelligent machines to their bank has brought great changes.

7.6 percent of Chinese college students consider themselves bisexual or homosexual,A survey of homosex students in China.

China family planning association issued college students and the present condition of the reproductive health survey, according to a report on sexual orientation, Chinese college students, the thought of himself as heterosexual students accounted for 89.5%, gay and bisexual accounted for 2.5% and 5.1% respectively.

7.6 percent of Chinese college students consider themselves bisexual or homosexual,A survey of homosex students in China.

The survey was conducted in 2015 with 17,966 valid questionnaires covering more than 130 universities in China, with an average age of 20.2 years. Homosexuality among Chinese college students is slightly lower than in the United States and Europe.

In recent years, the Chinese perception of gay has changed, at least from the point of the younger generation group, most people's attitude is not exclusive homosexuality exists in social life.

Before the interview, we subconsciously thought that foreigners would be very open, especially those from Europe and the United States, which should be very different from the Chinese. But that is not the case.
The five Russian girls interviewed said they did not like gay people and had few gay people around them. A foreign student from the United States says some of his gay friends still face public opinion and pressure to make intimate moves with their male friends in public. But all respondents said that everyone should have the right to love.

Homosexuality is still the boundary of society when society is not universally accepted.

In the sad and sad stories we hear, they are not only struggling, but also under pressure from family and public opinion. Gay in the past, people regarded as a kind of disease and abnormal behavior, try by electric shock "aversion therapy", intake of male female hormones and brain lobe resection surgery such as appalling change sexual orientation.

Based on treatment of inefficiencies, most gay people are no longer seeking medical help, they or latent in the other side of the city to show the other side of the unknown, or hit a nominal marriage life.
Conservative estimates suggest that more than 16 million Chinese women have married gay or bisexual men.

Some gay people divorced, married, divorced, and eventually chose to go home.

The prevailing view in the United States and Europe that homosexuality is a disease is not a disease, nor is it treated, and that is supported by the medical community. In 1992, the world health organization (who) confirmed that homosexuality was a natural phenomenon for minorities and did not include it as a mental disorder.

China removed homosexuals from the list of mentally ill people in 2001.
We look forward to a more inclusive social environment.

Part of the translation:
@像那个男人一样涅槃 : In the face of China, there is no such thing as undeveloped. When I was a child, I felt that the developed countries were good. Now there is no such thing as a developed country. Only the rest of China?
@落落无尘 : Engel Coefficient Engel s Coefficient is the proportion of total food expenditure in total personal consumption expenditure. The less a family income, household income and expenditure Used to buy food spending, the greater the proportion with the increase of family income, household income and expenditure Used to buy food spending ratio declines. PS: what if you add the mortgage? I'm over 85%.
@长宁华尔街 : Not developed countries, but why are prices so expensive?

Over the next five years, the gap between China's per capita income and that of the us, Japan and Germany is widening.
