MHI Thermal Systems Receives “Minister of the Environment Award for Climate Action 2024”

TOKYO, Dec 3, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has received a Minister of the Environment Award for Climate Action 2024 for development of its JHT-Y/JHT-YI series of large-capacity centrifugal chillers adopting the HFO-1234yf refrigerant with a low GWP(1). The award, sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment, was presented in the Technological Development and Commercialization category. An awards ceremony took place in Tokyo on December 2.The Awards CeremonyThe Minister of the Environment for Climate Action Award program was renewed in 2020 to reflect recent trends in climate change measures and succeeded the Environment Minister's Awards for Global Warming Prevention Activity, which had been held since 1998. The awards are given annually to individuals or groups having made noteworthy contributions to climate change mitigation (measures to curb greenhouse gas emissions) and accommodation to climate change (measures to avert or reduce impacts from climate change). This 2024 award is MHI Thermal Systems' third to date: in 2019, the Company received an Environment Minister's Award for its high-efficiency centrifugal chiller ETI-Z series that adopt a low-GWP refrigerant(2); and in 2021, the Company garnered the award for development and promotion of an air-to-water type heat pump using a low-GWP refrigerant(3).The constant-speed JHT-Y and inverter-equipped JHT-YI are new series for large-capacity centrifugal chillers launched in June 2022. Both models in the series adopt the HFO-1234yf refrigerant with extremely low environmental impact (GWP below 1) and the capacities ranging from 300 to 5,400 refrigeration tons (RT)(4). The JHT-Y and JHT-YI are the first centrifugal chillers with capacities up to 5,400 RT commercially offered in Japan with a low-GWP refrigerant. With a newly designed compressor, outstanding efficiency has been achieved: the constant-speed model to achieve a maximum rated COP(5) of 6.4, the inverter-equipped model achieves an IPLV(6) of 8.8 and a maximum part load COP of 24.9. A smaller compressor size, together with the optimized centrifugal chiller structure layout, also contributes to the effective use of the space, enabling smooth installation from existing equipment. The replacement of an existing equipment using a higher-GWP HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerant with the JHT-YI can reduce annual energy consumption and CO2emissions by approximately 65%(7), contributing significantly to mitigating environmental impacts. The JHT-Y and JHT-YI models are also adaptable to a wide range of applications: air-conditioning, heating, as well as low-temperature and heating processes in beverage plants, etc.The HFO-1234yf refrigerant, which is also used in car air-conditioners and vending machines, has a GWP of below 1 and ODP(8) of zero, and is categorized as non-Freon refrigerant according to Japan's Revised Fluorocarbons Recovery and Destruction Law(9). For these reasons, it is not subject to this Law that regulates the Fluorocarbons' emissions into the atmosphere, recovery, and destruction after usage. Concerning an equipment with higher-GWP HFC refrigerant including HFC-134a, which was widely used before the revised legislation took effect, it has been made compulsory to reduce in both their production and usage volumes as it has a significant impact on global warming. In 2025 and onward, it is scheduled that the regulations on the supply of equipment with higher-GWP refrigerants to the market will be tightened further in the Japanese market, therefore, currently the demands for the equipment with low-GWP refrigerants, ex. the JHT-Y/JHT-YI series, are increasing and earlier upgrading is required in the market.MHI Thermal Systems is Japan's leading manufacturer of centrifugal chillers, having delivered numerous units for district cooling/heating, factory air-conditioning, etc. Going forward, the Company will continue to focus on developing high-performance products using low-GWP refrigerants covering - together with the small and medium-capacity ETI-Z series - a capacity span of 150 to 5,400 RT, as its way of contributing to environmental protection on a global scale.(1) GWP: global warming potential. CO2 is assigned a GWP of 1. The lower the GWP factor, the less impact on the environment.(2) For further information, refer to the following press release: https://www.mhi.com/news/191203.html(3) For further information, refer to the following press release: https://www.mhi.com/news/21112502.html(4) Capacity above 2,700 RT requires two compressors (parallel type).(5) COP: coefficient of performance as calculated based on Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). The higher the COP, the higher the level of energy savings.(6) IPLV: integrated part load value, an indicator of the efficiency of an air-conditioner during part load operation. The higher the IPLV, the higher the level of energy savings.(7) Compared with our previous model (20 years ago)(8) ODP: ozone depletion potential, a coefficient expressing the relative amount of degradation to the ozone layer compared to trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11), a refrigerant previously in wide use which has a fixed ODP of 1.0. The lower the ODP, the lower the destructive impact on the ozone layer.(9) This revised law, which took effect on April 1, 2015, stipulates rules for the rational use and proper management of fluorocarbons.JHT-Y/JHT-YI SeriesAbout MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

特朗普關稅威脅後,墨西哥稱加拿大「只能羨慕墨西哥的文化底蘊」

(SeaPRwire) - 表示在準總統唐納·川普威脅對兩國課徵關稅以因應湧入美國的移民和毒品之後,加拿大「只能期望他們擁有墨西哥擁有的豐富文化」。希恩鮑姆在加拿大駐華盛頓大使克莉絲汀·希爾曼(Kirsten Hillman)向美聯社表示,她與川普上週五在海湖俱樂部共進晚餐,期間她向準總統談到他的邊界疑慮後發表了這番言論。希爾曼週日表示:「我們的邊界與墨西哥邊界如此大相逕庭,這個訊息確實被理解了。」希恩鮑姆隔天告訴美聯社:「墨西哥必須受到尊重,尤其要受到其貿易夥伴的尊重。」並補充說,加拿大自身也面臨芬太尼濫用問題,而且「只能期望他們擁有墨西哥擁有的豐富文化」。 美聯社報導,美國海關人員在過去一個財政年度在加拿大邊界查獲43磅芬太尼,而在墨西哥邊界則查獲21,100磅。在移民問題上,僅十月單月,美國邊境巡邏隊就在墨西哥邊界逮捕了56,530人,而從2023年10月到2024年9月,在加拿大邊界逮捕的人數僅為23,721人。同期,美國海關與邊境保護局報告稱,在與墨西哥的西南邊界與移民遭遇了153萬次。在「真實社群」上發文表示:「眾所皆知,成千上萬的人湧入墨西哥和加拿大,帶來了前所未有的犯罪和毒品。」川普補充道:「作為我上任後眾多行政命令之一,我將在1月20日簽署所有必要的文書,對所有進入美國的墨西哥和加拿大產品徵收25%的關稅,以及其荒謬的開放邊境政策。此關稅將一直有效,直到毒品,尤其是芬太尼,以及所有非法移民停止入侵我們的國家!」 希恩鮑姆還告訴美聯社,在她上週與川普的談話中,他「同意」墨西哥希望專注於反毒工作的情報共享,並指出「他認為這很好」。然而,她表示墨西哥將拒絕美國任何直接干預墨西哥的行為,並將繼續執行其前任總統對美國執法機構在墨西哥施加的嚴格限制。「這將會維持下去。」她說。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

俄羅斯遊客在泰國做瑜伽時被巨浪捲走身亡

(SeaPRwire) - 一名到泰國旅遊的俄羅斯遊客在星期五做瑜伽時被巨浪捲走,不幸身亡。當地新聞媒體證實死者是24歲的卡米拉·貝利亞茨卡婭(Kamilla Beliatskaya)。警方查看了閉路電視錄像,顯示貝利亞茨卡婭下午1點前駕駛一輛紅色汽車到達Laad Koh觀景點停車場。她從汽車後備箱拿出粉紅色的瑜伽墊,然後獨自走到觀景點下面的岩石區域。稍後,影片顯示貝利亞茨卡婭被一股強大的海浪從岩石上捲走。目擊者驚恐地看著這場悲劇發生。目擊者約於下午1點30分聯繫博佛警察局(Bo Phut Police Station)報告該女子失蹤。據當地新聞媒體Khaosod English報導,最後一次看到她時,她正在洶湧的海水中掙扎,海浪高度達9英尺。水上救援隊曾試圖在該區域搜尋貝利亞茨卡婭,但由於海浪持續惡化,約30分鐘後便中止了行動。當天早些時候,由於天氣狀況惡劣,水上摩托艇營運商已將他們的車輛從海灘撤離。Khaosod English報導,事件發生在泰國素叻他尼府博佛區(Bo Phut District)Moo 6的Laad Koh觀景點附近。素叻他尼是蘇梅島(Koh Samui)、龜島(Koh Tao)和帕岸島(Koh Phangan)的所在地。蘇梅島救援中心(Samui Rescue Center)主任Chaiyaporn Subprasert告訴該出版物,島上所有海灘都設有警報系統。「在雨季期間,我們不斷警告遊客,尤其是在查汶海灘(Chaweng)和拉邁海灘(Lamai)等高風險地區,紅旗表示禁止游泳,」他說。「雖然事發地點不是游泳區,而是一個觀景區,但受害者可能被突如其來的巨浪襲擊措手不及。」星期六晚上11點左右,警方接到Impeña Resort Hotel的工作人員報案,稱在查汶諾伊海灘(Chaweng Noi Beach)發現一具屍體。經確認,死者為貝利亞茨卡婭。據Khaosod English報導,她的男友確認了身份。當局呼籲遊客在雨季期間要格外小心,海浪較大時避免前往岩石海岸區域。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

拜登政府將在川普就職前數月宣布向烏克蘭提供7.25億美元的武器援助

拜登政府將在川普就職前數月宣布向烏克蘭提供7.25億美元的武器援助 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 一位美國官員告訴我們,拜登政府今天下午將公布一項價值7.25億美元的武器援助計劃。此舉是在特朗普重返白宮不到兩個月前發生的。這位官員表示,這批武器將包括反坦克武器、火炮、無人機、高機動性多管火箭系統彈藥以及反人員地雷,以減緩俄羅斯在庫爾斯克地區的推進。特朗普和準副總統JD Vance在俄羅斯2022年入侵烏克蘭後,一直對烏克蘭的援助表示反對,而這位前總統在競選過程中表示,他甚至在上任前就會結束這場戰爭。 然而,特朗普尚未詳細說明他將如何做到這一點。Vance在今年早些時候曾表示,結束戰爭的最佳方法是烏克蘭讓出俄羅斯已佔領的土地,並建立非軍事區,烏克蘭總統澤連斯基斷然拒絕了這一提議。与此同时,烏克蘭正在敦促本周在布魯塞爾舉行會議的北約領導人邀請該國加入北約。 烏克蘭外交部長安德烈·西比哈最近在一封給北約領導人的信中表示:「我們認為,此時應該發出邀請。」這封信由路透社獲得。他補充說:「這將成為盟國對俄羅斯不斷升級其發動的戰爭的適當回應,最新的表現是數萬名朝鮮軍隊的參與,以及利用烏克蘭作為測試新型武器的場所。」上週五,澤連斯基還在天空新聞頻道的採訪中,加大了對北約領導人提出加入邀請的公開壓力。據報導,他表示:「如果我們想阻止戰爭的熱相,我們需要將我們控制下的烏克蘭領土納入北約的保護傘下。」’Caitlin McFall和Breanne Deppisch為此報導做出了貢獻。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

挺普京領袖支持強硬鎮壓,格魯吉亞抗議活動中40多人住院 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 在這個前蘇聯國家格魯吉亞,超過40人因警方對抗議者的 brutal police crackdown 而住院,此舉獲得總理伊拉克利·科巴希澤的支持。上週科巴希澤執政的政黨「格魯吉亞夢想黨」暫停該國長達15年的歐盟(EU)加入努力後,數萬名抗議者週日在首都第比利斯連續第四個晚上走上街頭。「任何違法行為都將受到法律的嚴厲制裁,」科巴希澤在週末的簡報中說。「那些躲在辦公室裡,將其暴力集團成員犧牲來換取嚴厲懲罰的政客們,也將逃脫不了責任。」據格魯吉亞內政部報告,週日警方與平民發生衝突,使用了高壓水炮和催淚彈,憤怒的抗議者則燃放鞭炮,共有44人住院,其中包括27名抗議者、16名警官和一名媒體工作者。科巴希澤在評論中堅稱,格魯吉亞的融合進程並未停止,並表示:「我們唯一拒絕的是可恥和具有攻擊性的敲詐勒索,這實際上是阻礙我國歐洲融合的重大障礙。」政府暫停歐盟融合的決定是在歐洲議會週四通過一項決議的幾個小時後做出的,該決議認為格魯吉亞上個月的選舉既不自由也不公平。科巴希澤是一位在俄羅斯致富的億萬富翁,他支持普京,因選舉舞弊的指控而在國外和國內都面臨反彈。格魯吉亞於1991年脫離蘇聯,數十年來一直依靠西方的支持,試圖擺脫莫斯科對該國的影響——2008年俄羅斯入侵了格魯吉亞。然而,在「格魯吉亞夢想黨」的領導下,格魯吉亞一直在推行越來越多的威權政策和普遍的腐敗。政府聲稱,這些鎮壓行動旨在保護國家免受外國勢力的干預,並避免像烏克蘭那樣被捲入戰爭。然而,格魯吉亞政府的批評者指出,第比利斯最近的趨勢可能被視為討好普京偏愛的政策的企圖。歐盟外交政策負責人卡婭·卡拉斯和擴大委員瑪爾塔·科斯週日發表聯合聲明,譴責格魯吉亞政府暫停歐盟加入談判的決定,並重申「對該國持續的民主倒退表示嚴重關切」。「我們注意到,這一公告標誌著與所有以前格魯吉亞政府的政策以及絕大多數格魯吉亞人民的歐洲願望(如格魯吉亞憲法所載)的背離,」聲明說。歐盟官員敦促格魯吉亞當局「尊重集會自由和言論自由的權利,並避免對和平抗議者、政客和媒體代表使用武力」。美國同樣譴責對抗議者的暴力行為,並認為暫停格魯吉亞加入歐盟的舉措「違背了格魯吉亞憲法中規定的,追求充分融入歐盟和北約的承諾」。「通過暫停格魯吉亞的歐盟加入進程,「格魯吉亞夢想黨」拒絕了與歐洲建立更緊密聯繫的機會,並使格魯吉亞更容易受到克里姆林宮的影響,」國務院週日表示。科巴希澤駁回了拜登政府的評論,並表示:「你可以看到,即將離任的政府正試圖為新政府留下儘可能困難的遺產。他們在烏克蘭這樣做,現在也在格魯吉亞這樣做。」他補充說:「這不會有任何根本意義。我們將等待新政府,並與他們討論一切。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Machine learning used to optimise polymer production ACN Newswire

Machine learning used to optimise polymer production

TSUKUBA, Japan, Dec 2, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Polymers, such as plastics, are essential in many aspects of life and industry, from packaging and cars to medical devices and optic fibres. Their value comes from diverse properties that are largely determined by their monomers – the single chemical units – that make up a polymer. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to control the chemical behaviour of monomers during manufacture to achieve a desired outcome.The flow synthesis reactor with two bottles containing a monomer, initiator and solvent mixed using a micromixer. The synthesis is controlled with AI-based design of experimental conditions such as the temperature and a flow rate. Now, a team of researchers led by Professor Mikiya Fujii of the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan have used machine learning to mathematically model the polymerization process and reduce the need for time-consuming and expensive experimentation. Their results have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods.Machine learning algorithms need data, so the researchers designed a polymerization process that would quickly and efficiently generate experimental data to feed into the mathematical model. The target molecule was a styrene-methyl methacrylate co-polymer, which was made by mixing styrene and methyl methacrylate monomers, both already dissolved in a solvent with an added initiator substance, then heating them in a water bath.The team also used a method called flow synthesis, in which the two monomer solutions are mixed and heated in a constant flow. This allows for better mixing, more efficient heating, and more precise control of heating time and flow rate, which makes it ideal for use with machine learning.The modelling evaluated the effect of five key variables in the polymerization process: the concentration of the initiator, the ratio of solvent to monomer, the proportion of styrene, the temperature of the reaction, and the time spent in the water bath. The goal was to have an end product with as close to 50% styrene as possible.Once enough experimental data was available, the machine learning process took only five cycles of calculation to achieve the ideal proportion of styrene to methyl methacrylate. The results showed that the key was a lower temperature and longer time in the water bath, as well as lowering the relative concentration of the monomer in the solvent. The researchers were surprised to discover that the solvent concentration was just as important as the proportion of monomers going into the mix.“Our results demonstrate that machine learning not only can explicitly reveal what humans may have implicitly taken for granted but can also provide new insights that weren’t recognized before,” Professor Mikiya Fujii says. “The use of machine learning in chemistry could open the door for smarter, greener manufacturing processes with reduced waste and energy consumption.”Further informationMikiya FujiiNara Institute of Science and TechnologyEmail: fujii.mikiya@ms.naist.jp Paper: https://doi.org/10.1080/27660400.2024.2425178About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM-M)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-M Dr Yasufumi NakamichiSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: NAKAMICHI.Yasufumi@nims.go.jp Press release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

eBRAM Partners with Agency for Volunteer Service to Launch ‘Pro-Bono Online Mediation Scheme for Water Seepage Disputes’

HONG KONG,Dec 3, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In order to resolve conflicts and disputes between property owners and occupants in Hong Kong caused by water seepage issues, eBRAM International Online Dispute Resolution Centre (“eBRAM”), an independent non-profit arbitration and mediation organisation, today joined hands with the Agency for Volunteer Service to officially launch the Pro-bono Online Mediation Scheme for Water Seepage Disputes (“Scheme”). The Scheme is free of charge and aims to foster a harmonious community by providing the public with efficient and economical online mediation services to help resolve water seepage disputes in the community.The Scheme has received strong support from the “Joint Office” set up by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and the Buildings Department. When water seepage issues arise, both parties involved can agree to conduct mediation at any stage. The parties can do so by submitting a request through eBRAM’s platform under the Scheme. The platform will then arrange for independent and neutral volunteer mediators to mediate the parties’ dispute. The Scheme aims to enable parties to resolve disputes in the simplest, most cost-effective, and time-efficient manner.Actively Assumes Social Responsibility and Alleviates the Concerns and Difficulties of the CitizensThe issue of building leakage or water seepage is a common source of dispute in the Hong Kong community, and multi-faceted issue encompasses cost split and responsibility for carrying out repairs . This issue has been troubling property owners and occupants in Hong Kong, as it is complicated and involves multiple parties’ responsibilities. Traditional legal proceedings are time-consuming and expensive, making it difficult to resolve these issues in a short period of time, which often causes great suffering to the residents involved.In view of this, as a leading non-profit arbitration and mediation organisation in Hong Kong, eBRAM actively uses innovative approaches to address social livelihood issues. Launched in cooperation with the Agency for Volunteer Service and supported by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and the Buildings Department, this free online mediation service fills a gap in legal services and provides an efficient, economical and convenient solution for members of the public who are in need.Efficiently Resolves Water Seepage Disputes, Highlights Advantages of Online MediationeBRAM’s mediation rules and online dispute resolution platform have overcome the time and space limitations of traditional mediation, allowing parties to participate in mediation process anytime and anywhere. Compared with cumbersome litigation procedures, online mediation is fast and efficient, and lowers the threshold for resolving disputes so that both parties do not have to go through lengthy legal proceedings and pay expensive litigation fees. This flexible service model meets the needs of the busy public living in modern cities to build a harmonious community.In addition, mediation is led by the parties involved, who have more control over the outcome. Both parties can work together to agree on a solution, rather than leaving the decision-making process entirely to the court. At the same time, mediation emphasizes fairness and understanding, which aims to reduce tensions between the parties, avoids escalation of conflicts, and protects their neighbourhood relations. As a third party, professional mediators maintain a neutral stance and assist the parties in discussing feasible solutions that give them peace of mind.Innovative LawTech to Help Build a Harmonious FutureDr Thomas So, JP, Chairman of eBRAM, said, "We are committed to serving our society, promoting sustainable development, and giving back to the community by leveraging innovative technologies and applying our expertise. By collaborating with the Agency for Volunteer Service and with the support of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and the Buildings Department, the launch of the free ‘Pro-bono Online Mediation Scheme for Water Seepage Disputes’ has not only helped solve the public’s livelihood issues, but also provided new ideas for building a harmonious and inclusive social environment. Looking ahead, we will continue to work closely with the government and other organisations to provide high-quality and efficient dispute resolution services to more members of the public."Ms. Melissa Pang, BBS, MH, JP, Chairman of the Agency for Volunteer Service, said, "We have always been attentive to the needs of the members of the public and are committed to playing a pivotal role in collaborating with various sectors of society to address livelihood issues. By having dedicated professional mediators who are passionate about serving society as volunteer workers, we provide free mediation services to relevant owners and occupants through eBRAM’s online platform, believing that we can play a crucial role in resolving building leakage disputes within the community. We look forward to promoting community harmony through this innovative initiative, ensuring that members of the public can live and work in peace."According to the figures released by the Joint Office, over the past five years, there have been an average of over 40,000 complaints per year on water seepage issues. The number of cases in which the source of water seepage was identified and relevant investigations completed averaged around 5,800 cases per year, accounting for approximately 14.5% of the total number of complaints. As at September 2023, the number of cases under investigation was around 10,000. Between 2020 and 2022, investigation on approximately 30% of the cases could not be completed and complainants were not informed of the investigation results within 90 working days. The “Pro-bono Online Mediation Scheme for Water Seepage Disputes” initiated by eBRAM and the Agency for Volunteer Service is set to effectively reduce the time required to handle water seepage cases, increase efficiency in addressing the public’s livelihood issues, and play a more active role in promoting harmony in the community and reducing social conflicts.“Pro-bono Online Mediation Scheme for Water Seepage Disputes” Webpage:https://ebram.org/Water_Seepage_POM_Scheme/?language=en Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

EQS 新聞 via SEAPRWire.com / 2024-12-02 / 18:14 UTC+8 2024年12月02日–聯康生物科技集團有限公司(簡稱“聯康集團”或“本集團”)欣然宣佈兩項重要里程碑,展現了聯康集團在醫療美容和皮膚解決方案領域的持續增長和創新突破。 本集團與重慶民濟醫療器械有限公司的戰略合作產品——醫用重組膠原蛋白敷料,已成功獲批二類醫療器械註冊證,註冊證編號為「渝械注准 20242140377」。與此同時,本集團自主研發的纖連蛋白醫療美容產品——肌顏態®也重磅上市,並在武漢舉辦了盛大的產品發佈會。眾多行業專家、意見領袖、媒體代表和其他專業人士齊聚一堂,共同見證了聯康集團進軍快速增長、千億規模的醫療美容市場。這一里程碑標誌著在此高潛力領域,本集團掀開持續擴大自身影響力的新篇章。 (圖:肌顏態®上市發佈會大合影) 膠原蛋白作為新獲批的醫用重組膠原蛋白敷料的核心成分,是人體內最豐富的蛋白質,占全身蛋白質含量的25%至35%。它通過形成一個彈性纖維網路,支撐皮膚,保持彈性並鎖住水分。膠原蛋白的含量在人成熟後(約21歲)每年減少約1%,導致皮膚的緊致度及彈性下降。膠原蛋白產品可廣泛用於保濕、維持皮膚屏障及抗衰老。除了敷料劑型外,膠原蛋白的微針也正在研發進程中。 另一個擴充產品組合的重要里程碑,是基於本集團的專利原料——SkbrellaTM FN(重組人源纖連蛋白)自主研發的醫療美容品牌——肌顏態®的重磅上市。肌顏態®旨在提供安全有效的皮膚護理解決方案,以修復和改善皮膚品質,是修復受損皮膚、敏感皮膚以及醫美術後護理的理想選擇。纖連蛋白是皮膚細胞外基質重要組成部分,在細胞遷移、粘附、增殖、止血及組織修復中起著至關重要的作用。本集團也正在推進基於纖連蛋白成分的醫療器械的研發。 (圖左:肌顏態®纖連蛋白修復液;圖右:肌顏態®纖連蛋白精華液) 肌顏態®的首次亮相便吸引了眾多皮膚科專家及醫美從業者的高度認可及關注。發佈會上,各位專家學者從不同的視角,針對纖連蛋白的作用功效和臨床使用進行了專業的學術交流和案例分享:“肌顏態®是可以貫穿醫美術前、術後全週期使用的具有顯著功效的產品,尤其是對於麻藥過敏患者,可以實現迅速修復和有效褪紅。” (圖:南方醫科大學廣東省皮膚病醫院院長楊斌教授分享皮膚科臨床實踐) (圖:中山大學附屬第六醫院整形科主任施歌教授分享肌顏態®使用案例) 聯康集團CEO趙志剛先生也表示:“本集團依託于金因肽®在皮膚領域接近30年的可靠臨床資料、皮膚科領域的專業知識及已經建立的行銷網路,秉承藥企嚴謹的研發標準,構建‘生物藥+醫療器械+醫療美容’的多元化產品組合,最終為廣大患者提供更安全、更有效的全週期皮膚護理解決方案。” (圖左:聯康集團CEO趙志剛先生為肌顏態®上市致開幕詞;圖右:聯康集團研發及項目副總監于珊博士介紹肌顏態®) 本集團將會充分抓住不斷增長的市場機會以佔據優勢地位。預測顯示,醫療美容市場將於二零二四年至二零二七年間保持10%至15%的複合年增長率,2030年將有望超過6000億元人民幣。膠原蛋白醫療器械的獲批和肌顏態®的上市預示著聯康集團在皮膚護理領域開啟新征程。 (圖:聯康集團董事長梁國龍先生成功與多家知名醫療美容連鎖機構及分銷管道商建立合作關係) 這些成就反映了集團對創新、戰略執行和價值創造的堅定承諾。隨著集團繼續執行戰略願景,致力於成為中國皮膚科的領先專家的目標,利用創新能力、臨床專業知識以及市場洞察力,從而推動可持續增長和長期成功。 End 2024-12-02 此財經新聞稿由EQS Group via SEAPRWire.com轉載。本公告內容由發行人全權負責。瀏覽原文: http://www.todayir.com/tc/index.php

康哲藥業獲得治療痛風及高尿酸血症的1類新藥獨家商業化權利 ACN Newswire

康哲藥業獲得治療痛風及高尿酸血症的1類新藥獨家商業化權利

深圳, 2024年12月2日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 康哲藥業控股有限公司(以下簡稱「康哲藥業」)欣然宣佈,於2024年12月2日,通過其全資附屬公司與杭州新元素藥業有限公司(以下稱「新元素藥業」,曾用名「江蘇新元素醫藥科技有限公司」)就治療痛風及高尿酸血症的1類新藥ABP-671(「產品」)簽訂獨家商業化協議(「協議」)。根據協議,康哲藥業獲得產品在中國大陸、香港特別行政區及澳門特別行政區的獨家商業化權利。合作期限開始於協議生效之日,自產品首次在中國大陸獲批上市起擁有十年的授權期限(「授權期限」)。授權期限屆滿後,根據協議約定的特定條件,授權期限可自動續期十年。ABP-671是用於治療痛風及高尿酸血症的化藥1類創新藥,目前正分別在中國和境外開展關於痛風的2b/3期臨床試驗,產品通過抑制尿酸鹽轉運蛋白1(URAT1),降低腎臟對尿酸的重吸收。在已經完成的兩項2期臨床試驗結果顯示,ABP-671多個劑量組(1mg至12mg)表現出良好的藥效和安全性。該產品2mg每天單次給藥,其藥效可能相當於或優於苯溴馬隆和非布司他最高劑量80mg的藥效。尿酸下降可維持全天候24小時,沒有出現嚴重的安全性問題。產品有望為痛風及高尿酸血症患者帶來療效更優、安全性更高的治療選擇[1]。與ABP-671相關的化合物和用途方面的多個專利已在中國獲得授權。高尿酸血症是指成人在正常嘌呤飲食情況下,非同日2次空腹血尿酸水平超過420μmol/L (7.0mg/dL)。高尿酸血症患者出現尿酸鹽晶體沉積,導致痛風性關節炎,稱為痛風。高尿酸血症及痛風可引起關節軟骨、骨質、腎臟以及血管壁等急慢性炎症損傷,導致心、腦、腎等多器官損害。《2021中國高尿酸及痛風趨勢白皮書》數據顯示,我國高尿酸血症的總體的患病率為13.3%,高尿酸血症患病人數約1.77億人,痛風總體發病率為1.1%,患病人數約為1,466萬。據弗若斯特沙利文分析,未來中國高尿酸血症和痛風患病人數會持續增加,將在2030年分別達到2.4億人、5,220萬人。目前我國臨床上常用的降尿酸藥物主要包括抑制尿酸合成和促進尿酸排泄兩類,由於已上市降尿酸藥物在療效和安全性上仍存在一定的局限性,如導致腎衰竭、心臟猝死或嚴重肝臟毒性等。中國痛風及高尿酸血症患者對高效安全的降尿酸藥物仍然有迫切的需求。ABP-671是當前痛風及高尿酸血症治療中潛在療效優、安全性好的產品。通過本次合作引進,填補了康哲藥業痛風治療產品的空白。痛風及高尿酸血症既屬於風濕疾病又屬於慢性代謝性疾病,與康哲藥業心腦血管/消化業務的戰略佈局,以及在售品種的網絡資源高度契合。ABP-671如未來獲批上市,在風濕免疫科可與在售產品美泰彤(甲氨蝶呤注射液),在內分泌科和骨科可與益蓋寧(依降鈣素注射液)在專家網絡與市場資源方面協同。基於未滿足的臨床需求和產品預期扎實的臨床數據,期待ABP-671的臨床開發工作順利推進,使相關適應症患者儘快從創新療法中獲益。關於新元素藥業新元素藥業創辦於2012年3月,專注於代謝和炎症領域疾病中具有全球商業價值和全球競爭力的創新藥的研發。新元素藥業主要核心團隊人員來自美國,具有廣泛的創新藥物的研發經驗,過去幾年新元素藥業取得了顯著的發展成果。其核心產品ABP-671正處於後期臨床研發階段,用於治療慢性痛風;另一個小分子創新藥物ABP-745用於抗炎自免領域適應症,已完成1期臨床,表現出良好的PK和安全性,即將進入2期臨床。有關新元素藥業及其產品的更多信息,請訪問其官方網站:https://www.atombp.com/。關於康哲藥業康哲藥業是一家鏈接醫藥創新與商業化,把控產品全生命週期管理的開放式平臺型企業,致力於提供有競爭力的產品和服務,滿足尚未滿足的醫療需求。康哲藥業專注於全球首創(FIC)及同類最優(BIC)的創新產品,並高效推進創新產品臨床研究開發和商業化進程,賦能科研成果向診療實踐的持續轉化,造福患者。康哲藥業聚焦專科領域,擁有被驗證的商業化能力,廣泛的渠道覆蓋和多疾病領域專家資源,核心在售產品已獲領先的學術與市場地位。康哲藥業圍繞優勢專科領域不斷縱深發展,以鞏固心腦血管/消化業務競爭力,並將皮膚醫美、眼科業務獨立運營,培育專科小領域的大龍頭,提升專科規模效率。同時業務版圖拓展至東南亞市場,著力成為全球藥企進軍東南亞市場的「橋頭堡」,助力康哲藥業高質量持續健康發展。參考文獻:1.產品2期臨床試驗結果已發佈,詳情如下:https://www.atombp.com/2023/03/01/atom-bioscience-announces-positive-results-of-phase-2a-china-clinical-trial-of-its-urat1-inhibitor-for-chronic-gout/康哲藥業免責與前瞻性聲明本新聞無意向您做任何產品的推廣,非廣告用途。本新聞不對任何藥品和醫療器械和/或適應症作推薦。若您想瞭解具體疾病診療信息,請遵從醫生或其他醫療衛生專業人士的意見或指導。醫療衛生專業人士作出的任何與治療有關的決定應根據患者的具體情況並遵照藥品說明書。由康哲藥業編制的此新聞不構成購買或認購任何證券的任何要約或邀請,不形成任何合約或任何其他約束性承諾的依據或加以依賴。本新聞由康哲藥業根據其認為可靠之資料及數據編制,但康哲藥業並無進行任何說明或保證、明述或暗示,或其他表述,對本新聞內容的真實性、準確性、完整性、公平性及合理性不應加以依賴。本新聞中討論的若干事宜可能包含涉及康哲藥業的市場機會及業務前景的陳述,該等陳述分別或統稱為前瞻性聲明。該等前瞻性聲明並非對未來表現的保證,存在已知及未知的風險、不明朗性及難以預知的假設。康哲藥業並不採納本新聞包含的第三方所做的任何前瞻性聲明及預測,康哲藥業對該等第三方聲明及預測不承擔責任。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
