Australian transgenic peas study emergency brake

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation of Australia (CSIRO) recently suspended a study on transgenic peas because the transgenic peas caused lung infections in experimental mice. On November 22nd, International Scientific Consultant Yin Ruisha of Greenpeace and Ma Tianjie, project director of the Greenpeace Food and Agriculture Project Team, disclosed the news to reporters. Yin Ruisha said that the transgenic peas research began in 1995 and cost US$3 million to protect Australian peas from pea weevils. Peas are Australia's major crop rotations, with an annual production value of 100 million U.S. dollars, which can increase nitrogen in the soil and reduce the chance of subsequent crop root lesions; pea weevils reduce pea production by up to 30% and reduce pea quality. And value. The CSIRO team has extracted a gene from broad beans that has been implanted into peas, allowing peas to produce amylase inhibitor proteins, which make them resistant to insect pests such as worms. An experiment conducted by the CSIRO team lasting 4 weeks showed that the mice infected with the transgenic peas developed inflammation in their lungs. Dr. TJ Higgins, deputy director of the CSIRO Plant Industry Division, said that immunologists conducted transgenic peas experiments in mice, which showed an immune system reaction and a slight infection in the lung tissue. He pointed out, "We are not sure whether the results of the experiment can indicate the possible response symptoms in humans, but we found that mice responded to this experiment and we decided to suspend the experiment to prevent accidents." Yin Ruisha said that protease inhibitors are anti-nutrients that humans and animals do not need, and may cause allergies. It is reported that some transgenic crops containing protease inhibitor genes are under development in China. A transgenic cotton containing protease inhibitors has been commercially grown in China. A transgenic rice containing another protease inhibitor has also been proposed to the Ministry of Agriculture. The application is pending approval. Ma Tianjie said, “The emergency brakes for research on transgenic peas in Australia have proven that genetically modified technology may pose risks to health, which also reminds China’s Ministry of Agriculture to be cautious when it comes to the commercialization of genetically modified rice. Rice is a three-day event for 1.3 billion people. Meals, in the case of controversial safety of genetically modified organisms, are not worth the risk of taking our own staples.” From November 23 to 25, 74 biotechnology, biosafety, food safety, and environmental protection The National Committee on Genetically Modified Organisms, composed of experts, will conduct safety assessments on several genetically modified rice and other crops. The results of the assessment will have a crucial impact on the final approval of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The Stethoscope, like other diagnostic instruments, is one of the most basic medical devices used in surgeries and clinics. From Single head stethoscopes to Dual head stethoscopes, Yingmed offers a wide selection of high-quality stethoscopes. There are two pairs listening head for Teaching use dual head stethoscope so that teacher and student can listen at the same time.

 

Except stethoscope, Patient monitor also can be used to get the rate of hearbeat. You will find a large selection of Patient monitor in our other category.
