[quick news] release of statistics of NSFC funded projects on December 6, 2018

Release of statistics on NSFC projects in 2018 statistics on NSFC projects in 2018 have been released The supported projects include seven categories: 18947 general projects (RMB 11152.89 million), 17671 youth science projects (RMB 4176.44 million), 2937 regional science projects (RMB 1103.33 million), 701 key projects (RMB 2054.42 million), 199 national science foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars（ 682.85 million yuan), 102 overseas and Hong Kong Macao scholars' cooperative research funds (54 million yuan), 400 outstanding young scientists' funds (520 million yuan) In addition, the data from the application and funding, the affiliation of the supporting unit, the nature of the supporting unit, the statistics of professional and technical positions and degrees of the person in charge, the age of the person in charge, the composition of the project team, the amount of direct funding costs, the funding rate of the supporting unit, the region of the supporting unit and other 9 different aspects of the 2018 funding data are classified Http:// table.pdf the birth of the world's first baby born in the womb of a dead body transplant Brazilian scientists reported that a Brazilian woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl in December last year after transplanting the womb from the dead This is the world's first baby born in a dead body transplant womb, bringing new hope to many women suffering from uterine infertility According to a paper published in a new issue of the lancet magazine, the woman suffered from congenital absence of uterus and vagina syndrome After the transplantation of the uterus, she was pregnant through in vitro fertilization At the 35th week of pregnancy, she gave birth to a baby girl by caesarean section The baby weighs about 2.55kg at birth, and then grows at the same speed as the ordinary baby The transplanted uterus was finally removed during caesarean section Http:// recently, Australian researchers proposed a method that can complete cancer cell detection in 10 minutes This test can quickly complete the initial diagnosis by identifying the DNA differences between cancer cells and healthy cells Matt trau of the University of Queensland and colleagues found that different methylation conditions in cancer cells affect the physical and chemical properties of DNA In these properties, the researchers found that DNA and gold nanoparticles are particularly closely linked, and used this feature to develop a cancer detection method Only a very small amount of purified genomic DNA from patients can be tested in 10 minutes, and the test results can be identified only by the naked eye But at this stage, the method can only detect the presence of cancer cells and can't recognize their type or disease progression, the researchers said In the future, more samples should be tested and more detailed analysis and research should be carried out if possible Https://w w w.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-07214-w research found that the larger the brain, the better memory, logic and response ability Researchers from the United States and the Netherlands tried to find the relationship between brain size and cognitive performance and educational achievements through MRI scanning The sample size of the survey is 13600, the largest of its kind The results show that, on average, people with larger brains tend to perform better in cognitive tests including memory, logic and response than people with smaller brains However, the significant difference in brain volume between men and women did not translate into the difference in cognitive performance The researchers hope to understand the biological basis of cognition more deeply to help clarify the environmental factors that shape intelligence, but the inadequacy of this survey is that it only focuses on the influence of brain size Https:// new mode of Internet health service: let patients enjoy health management at home Recently, Johnson & Johnson signed a strategic cooperation agreement with ALI health in Xi'an Janssen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a Chinese pharmaceutical subsidiary, to explore a "patient-centered" Internet medical health service model Asgar rangoonwala, President of Xi'an YANGSEN Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., said: "through the Internet, we will provide patients with online medical and health services such as drug knowledge inquiry, disease consultation, outpatient appointment, etc In addition, there will be different forms of cooperation in medicine e-commerce, drug traceability and smart medicine It will help more patients to enjoy the life style of health management in the era of "Internet + medical treatment" without leaving home, improve the communication efficiency between doctors and patients, reduce the operation cost, and realize the optimal allocation of medical public resources " http://digitalpaper.stdaily.com/http_
