Explain in detail the chassis improvement of the new generation SAIC-GM New Excelle.

  Excelle, which went public in 2003 and has entered the fifth sales period, lacks a real replacement model. Although Shanghai GM claims that the new Excelle just listed is a "vertical replacement" model, it has been choked by many netizens that it is a change of soup. Aside from the changes in internal and external styling, where is the improvement of the new Excelle in the chassis?

"New Excelle"


  Although Shanghai GM claims that the new Excelle just listed is a "vertical replacement" model, it has been choked by many netizens that it is a change of soup. Where is the improvement of the new Excelle chassis?


● It is not a multi-link, and the rear suspension of the new Excelle has not changed.


  Calling the rear suspension structure of Excelle a multi-link structure has become a "popular" misunderstanding since it was just listed, and even many sales representatives pointed to two obvious links in the rear suspension of Excelle, which made many consumers "seeing is believing". On the occasion of the listing of the new Excelle, the theory of "multi-link rear suspension" once again surfaced. In fact, the rear suspension structure of Buick Excelle has not changed as a mid-term modified model, and the rear suspension of Excelle is not the legendary multi-link rear suspension.


Car home GM Buick Excelle 08 1.6LE-MT


"It is a misunderstanding that the rear suspension structure of Excelle is called multi-link structure since it was just listed."


  Excelle’s rear suspension structure should be a two-link strut independent suspension, which belongs to a variant of McPherson independent suspension used for rear suspension. It is very similar to McPherson’s independent suspension structure, and the shock absorber is also used as the pillar. However, the A-shaped lower arm with left-right steering motion function in McPherson suspension is replaced by two tie rods hinged with bolts. Because the steering function is not needed in the rear suspension, engineers have strengthened the connection stiffness by limiting the degree of freedom.



"Many sales representatives pointed to two obvious connecting rods in the rear suspension of Excelle, which made many consumers" seeing is believing ""


  However, these two tie rods, which replace the A-type lower arm, are interpreted by many sales representatives as the so-called "connecting rods" in multi-link suspension. In fact, these two tie rods can only be said to be seemingly connecting rods, but they are not really connecting rod structures. In curve performance, the stability and support stiffness of connecting rod strut suspension are not very satisfactory. Therefore, the two-link strut independent suspension still has obvious handling performance gap compared with the real four-link independent suspension.


● Where is the improvement of the new Excelle chassis?


  Consumers who have driven the old Excelle will be deeply impressed by the emergency sideline of Excelle and the dynamic performance of the body that tilts and shakes when entering the corner. This time, in the chassis improvement of the new Excelle, Shanghai GM has made improvements for the large roll angle and soft suspension setting of the old Excelle.



"Shanghai GM has made chassis improvement for the old Excelle with large roll angle and soft suspension setting."


  By increasing the stiffness of front and rear springs by 40%, increasing the damping of front and rear shock absorbers by 26% and 43% respectively, and increasing the diameter of the front and rear ends of the stabilizer bar, the new Excelle has improved the suspension setting and favored the tough design preferred by China consumers. Because the spiral springs and shock absorbers are more rigid, the steering body roll is reduced, the steering sensitivity is increased, and the vehicle handling is enhanced. Of course, you can’t have your cake and eat it. When the road is bumpy, the more rigid suspension system equipped by the new Excelle will be difficult to filter and absorb the vibration well, and the comfort will be affected.


● The suspension structure of the new generation Excelle in 2009 will be greatly changed.


  The rear suspension form of the new Excelle still maintains the two-link strut independent suspension. This suspension structure was very popular in the 1980s, because although it has a performance gap with multi-links, it also has good characteristics: the moving parts of the suspension are simple, the structure is light, and the movement stroke of the suspension is large, which can achieve good comfort. However, with the development of suspension technology, the two-link strut independent suspension has gradually fallen out of favor. Many compact cars pursuing handling performance orientation have adopted more advanced four-link rear suspension structure, while compact cars or small cars pursuing balanced orientation have turned to more cost-effective and compact torsion beam trailing arm rear suspension.



"GM will use the torsion beam to drag the arm rear suspension in the new generation of Excelle models launched in 2009."


  At present, Tianjin, Tianjin and other older models still use two-link strut rear independent suspension. However, from Tianyu, the follow-up model of Antelope, and the rear suspension structure of New Elantra, the follow-up model of Elantra, have turned to the torsion beam to drag the arm rear suspension, which shows the general trend. And GM will also use the torsion beam to drag the arm rear suspension in the new generation of Excelle models launched in 2009.


● Summary: New Excelle has some adjustments.


  Seeing this, I believe that you have some understanding of the chassis improvement of the new Excelle.
 
  From the suspension structure form, the new Excelle belongs to the change of soup without changing medicine, so it is hard to say that it is a real "vertical replacement". However, as a mid-term modified model, the change of the new Excelle is still satisfactory, which has adjusted many problems such as soft suspension and large roll. The medicine was not changed, but the proportion of ingredients was adjusted. It remains to be seen whether Shanghai GM can be recognized by consumers. (Text/Li Yi)

Guangdong, a consumer center city, intends to do this!

Since the beginning of this year, the epidemic has broken out at many points, and the complexity, severity and uncertainty of the internal and external economic development environment have increased. Building a consumption center city is an urgent need to stabilize the economic market and promote economic growth; It is also an internal demand to promote high-quality development and create a high-quality life; It is also an important measure to expand domestic demand and serve to build a new development pattern.

In order to promote the upgrading and expansion of consumption in Guangdong Province, enhance the effect of consumption agglomeration, and combine the cultivation and development of international consumption center cities and regional consumption center cities, on August 26, it was led by Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce and Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government, undertaken by Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Commerce and Shenzhen Futian District People’s Government, and co-organized by Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Shantou, Foshan and other Guangdong multi-city commercial bureaus.Launching Ceremony of 2022 Guangdong Consumer Center Urban Characteristic Activities and Consumer Center Urban Development ForumSuccessfully held in Shenzhen.

Sub-theme, focused and regionalCarry out consumption promotion activities

At the event site, Guangdong "1+1+8+N" consumption center city was announced.Fully launch a three-month special consumption activity.Cities will focus on brand consumption, platform consumption, first-store consumption and tax-free consumption, focus on the first-store launch of high-quality brands, promote the cultivation of local consumer brands, and develop business travel and cultural linkage consumption.Carry out the activities of promoting consumption in eight major consumption centers in a thematic, focused and regional way.To create a new landmark for consumption.

Among them, Guangzhou was held."Chinese Cuisine Fair" and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Food Carnival in 2022With catering as the carrier, it shows the new vitality of the old city of Guangzhou and the characteristics of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and promotes the catering culture.

Held in Shenzhen"2022 Shenzhen Shopping Season" Promotes Consumption ActivitiesFocusing on the three themes of "Happy Shopping in August, Fashion Shopping in September and Brand Shopping in October", a series of theme activities were carried out in nine directions of "cultural and sports tourism, night economy, food and beverage, information consumption, Z generation consumption, business circle consumption, e-commerce live broadcast, exhibition consumption and automobile consumption", and all districts were organized to create "one district and one festival".

Zhuhai, Foshan, Dongguan, Shantou, Zhanjiang and Shaoguan launched the theme series of "Quality Consumption and Green Peer" to promote consumption.Such as "88 Foshan Summer Tesco Carnival Month", "Tesco Dongguan" consumption promotion activities, "Tesco Shantou consumption benefiting the people", Zhanjiang Binhai Cultural Tourism Consumption Festival, Shaoguan Golden Autumn Consumption Festival, etc.

The eight major cities will also focus on key categories such as automobiles, household appliances, furniture, cosmetics, clothing bags, as well as new consumption hotspots such as the first store launch, time-honored brands, local specialty restaurants, green travel, national fashion brands, local famous and special new products, and organize special events such as the global launch season, the international beauty festival, and the fashion shopping festival to further tap the consumption potential of key commodities, gather global high-quality consumption resources, accelerate the cultivation of new and upgraded consumption, and lead the way.

Exploration on the construction path of Guangdong’s consumption center city

In addition, a theme forum was held on the spot, inviting people fromExperts from the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, relevant leaders from the Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce, the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Municipal Government and the Bureau of Commerce, and entities such as tech, dtz, retail and apparel associations, exhibitions, shopping centers and brands.Representatives of related fields, andexperts and scholarsFrom the perspectives of top-level design, urban management, industry cultivation and consumption promotion, this paper discusses the construction path of Guangdong’s consumption center city.

Luo Lianjin, member of the Party Group and first-class inspector of Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce:

Guangdong is the largest consumption province in China, and its consumer market has a profound cultural background, which has a good foundation for cultivating and building a consumer center city. From January to July this year, the total retail sales of social consumer goods in the province was 2.54 trillion, up 1.4% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 1.6 percentage points higher than that of the whole country, and it continued to rank first in the country.

Taking the construction project of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area International Consumer Hub as the starting point, Guangdong has initially constructed the pattern of "1+1+6" consumer center city, which will lead Guangdong to realize consumption upgrading and expansion. Luo Lianjin put forward three requirements for this:

First, Guangzhou has taken the lead in cultivating and building an international consumption center city, which has achieved initial results. I hope that Guangzhou and Shenzhen will continue to play a leading role.Guangzhou can be different from Shanghai, Beijing and other cities, and embark on a development path of an international consumption center city with Guangzhou characteristics; Shenzhen should strive to build a new landmark of top consumption in the Bay Area and actively create an international consumption center city;

Second, Zhuhai, Shantou, Foshan, Shaoguan, Dongguan and Zhanjiang, six regional consumption centers, continue to play a leading role in radiation.: Zhuhai, Foshan and Dongguan benchmark Guangzhou as an international consumption center city, pay close attention to the implementation plan of the consumption center city, strive to build the city’s core competitiveness, and promote the upgrading and expansion of consumption; Zhanjiang and Shantou are sub-central cities in the province, and Shaoguan is a node city in the northern ecological zone, which should shoulder the historical responsibility of high-level consumption development;

Thirdly, it is hoped that other cities will integrate resources according to the development standards of consumer center cities, and make practical efforts to promote the upgrading and expansion of local consumption.

Yao Ren, Deputy Secretary General of Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government:

This year, Shenzhen has put forward 27 hard-core measures to build an international consumption center city and an international trade center city based in Greater Bay Area, radiating the whole country and facing the world, and to gather the world’s top consumption resources, cultivate innovative and leading commercial enterprises, and create a new multi-level and diversified consumption scene.

At the same time, the "Action Plan on Promoting Consumption Expansion and Quality Improvement and Creating New Consumption Demand" was formulated, which provided strong support for promoting a virtuous cycle of supply and demand in Shenzhen and promoting the formation of a strong endogenous market.

Li Danghui, the top designer of China’s international consumption center urban policy and deputy director of the Department of Market Operation and Consumption Promotion of the Ministry of Commerce;

Guangdong’s consumer market has a good foundation and a large scale, and the total retail sales of social consumer goods has remained the first in the country for many years, accounting for more than 10% of the country’s total, which has played the role of a national consumer market stabilizer.

The Ministry of Commerce, together with Guangdong Province, will resolutely implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, focus on "international", closely follow "consumption" and highlight "center".As soon as possible, Guangzhou will be built into an international consumption center city with both international style and southern Guangdong charm.

Guan Lixin, senior expert in urban policy of the International Consumer Center, deputy director and researcher of the Institute of Circulation and Consumption of the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce:

At present, China’s economic and social development is in a critical period of structural adjustment and power transformation. The important task of accelerating the construction of a new development pattern requires international consumer center cities to give better play to the leading and driving role of consumption.

In order to build a high-level international consumption center city, Guangdong needs to continue to make efforts to improve the level of consumption supply, improve consumption facilities and improve the consumption environment.

· Based on the international vision, gather high-quality consumption resources, focus on highlighting the characteristics of different cities, realize misplaced development, and guide local enterprises to improve the supply level of high-quality goods and services;

· Promote the opening-up of education, sports, medical care, cultural and creative services, effectively release the potential of service consumption, actively carry out international exchanges and competitions in the field of service consumption, and enhance the international visibility and influence of China services.

· Integrate innovative and diversified consumption scenarios, conform to the development trend of digital economy, enhance the convenience and intelligence level of consumption scenarios with the help of digital technology empowerment, and organically integrate new consumption with the development of smart cities.

· Improve the infrastructure construction related to consumption, optimize the convenient and efficient three-dimensional transportation network, improve the market supervision and consumer rights protection system, attach importance to building service brands made in China and China, and create an internationally competitive consumption environment.

Zhen Shiqi, Managing Director of Commercial Real Estate Department of China District, dtz, shared the theme of "The Characteristic Development Road of International Consumer Center City":

Zhen Shiqi comprehensively analyzed new york, Paris, London, Tokyo, Dubai, Shanghai and other international consumption center cities, and concluded that building an international consumption center city should have the following characteristics:

· The city where the business circle is located has a highly developed economic level and a high-level service system.

· With international and large-scale global consumer groups.

· A global commercial landmark with high content and recognition

· International cultural soft power with historical and modern compatibility and unique charm.

· Create a consumption operation platform for global aggregation and allocation of resources

· It has a legal business environment and a sophisticated consumer service system.

Focusing on the commercial and trade development level and urban positioning of many cities in Guangdong, we should pay attention to tapping the characteristic advantages of each city, coordinate the development of "1+1+6" urban consumption, and build consumption centers with different echelon distribution and mutual promotion.

At the same time, he mentioned that to achieve a great leap in Guangdong’s future consumption development, we must grasp three goals, including the transformation of inefficient consumer cities, the upgrading of characteristic consumer cities and the excavation of potential consumer cities.

Wu Chuankun, Chairman of Win tech and Vice President of China Business Federation, brought the theme of Guangdong Urban Business Analysis Report to share:

Wu Chuankun mainly shows the commercial development level of Guangdong’s consumer center cities from the data level, as well as the development differences with other key provinces and cities in China.

Judging from the level of commercial developmentGuangdong’s commercial stock ranks first in the country, and its commercial development base is excellent. However, judging from the incremental performance of business in the next three years, Jiangsu will surpass Guangdong and become the first in the country.

From the perspective of commercial development structureGuangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan, Dongguan, Huizhou and Zhongshan in Guangdong Province were shortlisted in the national urban commercial power index TOP50, but compared with Jiangsu Province, 13 cities in Guangdong Province were shortlisted, indicating that there is still room for improvement in Guangdong Province.

The stationing data of chain developers and chain brands reflect the attractiveness of urban commerce to some extent. Chain developers prefer East China and Southwest China, and the number of chain developers of Guangzhou-Shenzhen commercial real estate is relatively backward.

The occupancy rate of chain brands in Shenzhen ranks fifth in China, which is not far from Chengdu, Shanghai, Beijing and Wuhan. However, Guangzhou obviously lags behind the above cities, with a gap of about 10%, ranking tenth in China. Measures should be greatly strengthened to enhance the commercial attractiveness of the city.

From the analysis of commercial development patternShanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Wuhan and Chengdu have formed a multi-center development pattern; Guangzhou, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Tianjin and Nanjing are still in the process of developing from single center to multi-center.

Focusing on six regional consumption center cities, Zhuhai, Shaoguan and Foshan have strong development potential in the future increment of shopping centers;

Judging from the situation of passenger flow recovery, passenger flow recovery can be regarded as an important prerequisite for the recovery of sales in shopping malls. At present, the passenger flow of commercial projects in the business circle has returned to the same level of last year, and the passenger flow in Dongguan, Foshan and Shantou has performed well, which shows that the dark moment of physical commerce has passed.

Looking forward to the future, how can Foshan enlarge the benefits of the same city as Guangzhou and Foshan, and how can Shantou make up for the shortage of commercial supply? How does Zhanjiang avoid severe commercial homogenization? Zhuhai has a large commercial development space, but how to solve the problem of insufficient permanent population? The young population in Dongguan is relatively high, second only to Shenzhen, but the business circle is scattered …

Generally speaking,In the future, six regional consumption center cities should fully grasp the advantages and opportunities of the city, avoid the shortcomings and tap the unique commercial charm of the city.

Consumption is the inevitable trend of economic development. As a big economic province, it is very important for Guangdong to play a leading role in consumption and how to keep consumption at home. We should think about how to improve the quality of goods and services and stimulate consumption power.

Lin Hong, a first-class researcher of Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce.

As a Millennium business capital, Guangzhou has a good brand and story in the traditional service field, and its industry, service and traffic still have its advantages and characteristics in the whole country.

From the consumer market,Guangzhou should build an industrial consumption systemFor example, in the automobile industry, if the city is taken as a unit, Guangzhou’s total automobile output ranks first in the country; The daily use of beauty cosmetics has reached a scale of over 100 billion yuan … Guangzhou has promoted the construction of the consumption system of "consumption+fashion" and "consumption+car" from the government level in combination with the actual situation of the city.

Guangzhou is a hub city, and both Guangzhou South Railway Station and the number of urban tourists rank among the top in the country. Based on this,Guangzhou actively promotes the creation of tourist destinations.And create 100 punch-in attractions and other actions.In order to improve the retention of traffic and promote consumption growth.

On the service level, Guangzhou has the first five-star hotel, the first commercial complex, and the dual titles of "Chinese Food Capital" and "International Food Capital".Guangzhou constantly builds and consolidates the city’s service system.To promote the improvement of service-oriented consumption.

In the past, for Shenzhen, the labels that people thought of might be innovation, science and technology, industry, finance, etc., and few people thought of consumption, because this city is a place to start a business and make money, not a place to spend money.

But in recent years, this situation has changed obviously.

There are mainly the following reasons:

· Adequate supply:Shenzhen has a good foundation for industrial science and technology innovation, and has cultivated many local brands, including high-end women’s wear, high-end watches, glasses, gold jewelry, etc. In the field of consumer electronics, Huawei, Glory and DJI, as Shenzhen brands, have grown into excellent brands at home and abroad.

Strong demand:Shenzhen is a young city, and young people’s consumption concept has changed greatly. They don’t have to buy a car, buy a house or get married, but they must be good to themselves, which has spawned a self-respecting economy. In addition, data from third-party platforms show that Shenzhen’s late-night consumption ranks first in the country.

On the one hand, this kind of consumption power needs higher income, on the other hand, it is a strong desire to buy.

Commercial carriers are fully supplied and distinctive;The stock of commercial complexes in Shenzhen ranks among the top in China, and commercial carriers with urban characteristics provide consumers with rich commercial experiences.

Next, there will be some special commercial carriers, such as the largest legoland in China and the World of Ice and Snow, which are all under construction, and will further lead the consumption upgrade in the future.

On the whole, Shenzhen has great consumption potential. In order to promote the construction of Shenzhen as an international consumption center city, Shenzhen has also set several development directions: a global center of consumption innovation, an important residence of international brands, a world window made in China, a fashion capital that leads the trend, etc. It is hoped that through these positioning, the consumption formats and brands of the whole city will be further enriched, local consumption will be retained, and foreign consumption will be attracted.

Cao Zhongxiong, Director of Institute of Digital Strategy and Economics, China (Shenzhen) Comprehensive Development Research Institute.

In order to play a leading role in building an international consumption center city, Guangzhou and Shenzhen should first find the characteristics of the city and guide the new consumption system and culture.

Xu Wenqiang, Ph.D. and Dean of Prospective Industry Research Institute, University of California, Berkeley.

Drawing lessons from the construction experience of Paris, new york and other international consumption centers, we can see that they have created different types of platform economy such as NBA, Broadway or other events, and attracted many high-end talents from all over the world.

Only some people have consumption, so to build an international consumption center city, we should create an open and inclusive environment and set up a more flexible mechanism system from the top design, such as reducing the restrictions on foreign personnel exchanges to a certain extent, such as visa-free 5-day tour, tax exemption and tax refund policy for shopping consumption, etc.

//The second theme: From the perspective of industry cultivation and consumption promotion, discuss how to build a consumption center city.

Chief Executive Officer of Cuihua Group (China District) Tang Yihan

If we only tap the time-honored brand culture, we may not be able to catch the attention of young people for a long time. Building a consumption center city is actually the integration of old and new cultures, so that culture can be passed on.

Take Cuihua as an example. On the surface, it is a catering brand, but it actually carries Hong Kong’s characteristic catering culture and consumption culture. If we continue to inherit the culture and produce richer content, the brand vitality will last forever.

Liu Songping, President of Guangdong Exhibition Enterprise Association and Vice President of China Exhibition Economic Research Association.

The exhibition will be the tipping point of a consumer goods market to build and cultivate a consumption center city. Because the basic feature of exhibition is the gathering of people, the food, shelter and transportation it produces directly drive consumption, which reflects the business environment and consumption power of the city. Therefore, it is necessary to build a consumption center city with distinctive exhibition activities.

Dean of Guangdong Global Industrial Innovation Research Institute and chief data officer Wendanfeng of Guangdong Garment Association.

The consumption center city is inseparable from the fashion and manufacturing industries.

The construction of Guangdong’s consumer center city is an opportunity for the clothing industry, which will promote the reform and adjustment of the supply side of the clothing industry and promote the more integrated development of industry and consumption, thus helping to build a consumer center city.

?

Xie Yongming, Vice President of Shenzhen Retail Business Association

In order to build Guangdong into a consumption center city, the core is to bravely propose to build China’s own high-end consumption display window, so as to better show it to the world in Guangdong cities and lead future consumption. For example, Shenzhen’s Huawei and BYD (002594) are all leading brands in the world.

The second is to create a smart business circle, that is, the application of technology in consumption. For example, on an APP, you can display all the goods in the whole business circle. Consumers only need to input the demand label, so that they can recommend goods in a targeted manner, so that technology can be better presented in the retail industry and serve consumers.

Ou Wei, General Manager of Shenye Management Co., Ltd.

For building a consumption center city, the consumption platform is very important. Landmark projects and consumption scenes can attract passengers to gather and stay.

Therefore, when planning and building commercial projects, we should not only consider the benefits of enterprises themselves, but also consider the relationship between projects and cities from the perspective of social responsibility, so that the traditions and characteristics of cities can be integrated into commercial projects to help build a consumption center city.

Fertility assessment helps women better understand their fertility potential.

Authors: Deputy Chief Physician Zhu Xiaodan, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Putuo Hospital, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

At present, the global fertility problems are increasing day by day, and the overall fertility of women is on the decline. Women are facing various pressures in modern society, including occupational pressure, family pressure, social expectations, and the unhealthy lifestyle that follows, which makes the fertility of contemporary women decline more and more "younger". At present, the incidence of infertility is as high as 10%~18%. In 2023, the birth rate in China was as low as 6.4‰.

National birth rate

In the reproductive endocrinology clinic, patients often ask: How is my fertility? Can you still be born? Faced with such a question, today, let’s talk about this topic.

As we all know, to complete a successful pregnancy, women need the cooperation of the whole reproductive system and all organs of the whole body. Therefore, the evaluation of female fertility is divided into three parts: the first part is the evaluation of ovarian reserve function, the second part is the evaluation of the structure and function of uterus and fallopian tube, and the third part is the evaluation of general state.

First, the ovarian reserve function

The ovarian reserve function of women refers to the quantity and quality of eggs, that is, the "inventory" of follicles with growth and development functions. The number of follicles in women has been determined at birth and is non-renewable. With the increase of age and the progress of menstrual cycle, the number of eggs gradually decreases. So how do we evaluate how much "inventory" there is in the ovaries?

1. Age

Age is the primary factor to evaluate fertility, and the best reproductive age for women is 23~32 years old. With the increase of age, fertility gradually decreases, pregnancy rate and live birth rate decrease, and abortion rate increases. With the increase of age, ovarian function declines irreversibly, and the number of follicles and the quality of eggs decrease. Age-related abnormal vascularization, oxidative stress and free radical imbalance in the ovary will lead to the decline of oocyte quality, which will lead to fertilization failure or abnormal embryo development.

The picture comes from the Internet.

2. Basic follicle stimulating hormone (bFSH)

BFSH is the level of serum FSH on the second to fourth day of menstruation, and it is one of the indexes to evaluate ovarian reserve function. The main reasons for the increase of bFSH level are the aging, the decline of ovarian function, the decrease of E2 secretion, the weakening of negative feedback on hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, and the subsequent increase of FSH. When the serum level of bFSH is higher than 10u/L, the ovarian reserve function is decreased, and when the serum level of bFSH is higher than 18u/L, the live birth rate is almost zero.

3. Basic estradiol (bE2)

BE2 refers to the level of serum E2 on the 2nd to 4th day of menstrual cycle, which can be used as an index to evaluate ovarian reserve function. When the bE2 value is more than 74.9 pg/ml (274.134 pmol/L), the ovarian function is decreased or the pregnancy outcome is poor when in vitro fertilization (IVF) is performed, and the number of embryos obtained is small.

4. FSH/LH (follicle stimulating hormone/luteinizing hormone) ratio

FSH/LH ratio can be used as an index to reflect ovarian function, and can also be used as a sign of ovarian response to gonadotropin to predict pregnancy outcome. When FSH/LH > 2, it is suggested that the ovary may have a bad reaction to gonadotropin in assisted reproductive technology. When FSH/LH > 3.6, the ovarian function is obviously decreased, and the cancellation rate of IVF ovulation cycle is high.

5. Anti-Miller hormone (AMH)

AMH is mainly produced by primary follicles, preantral follicles, sinus follicles, etc. It regulates the growth and development of follicles and is not regulated by hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis. As a reliable index of ovarian reserve function, it can be detected on any day of menstrual cycle. Serum AMH concentration was negatively correlated with age. AMH value reaches its peak in adulthood (about 25 years old), generally drops significantly after 36 years old, and approaches zero when approaching menopause.

6. Inhibin B(INH-B)

INH-B appears from the pre-antral follicular phase and is regulated by FSH. INH-B level, as a direct index to predict ovarian reserve function, reflects ovarian reserve. On the third day of menstruation, the blood INH-B < 45 ng/L indicates that ovarian function is decreased.

7. Sinus follicle count (AFC) and ovarian volume

AFC, ovarian volume and ovarian interstitial blood flow parameters can be used as evaluation indexes of ovarian reserve function and responsiveness. AFC is significantly correlated with age and basic hormones. With age, the number of follicles decreases exponentially. Ovarian volume can reflect the number of follicles and the situation of ovarian reserve pool from another angle. With the increase of age, ovarian function declines and ovarian volume shrinks. The most commonly used parameters of ovarian stromal blood flow are the peak velocity of ovarian stromal blood flow (PSV) and resistance index (RI). High PSV and/or low RI indicate that the ovarian interstitial blood supply is abundant and the ovary responds well to gonadotropin.

Second, the evaluation of the structure and function of reproductive tract

Because of the special anatomical structure and physiological function of female reproductive tract, the evaluation of reproductive tract structure and function is also an important link in fertility evaluation, including vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tube and pelvic cavity.

1. Detection of vaginal microecology

Female reproductive tract flora is closely related to every step of ovulation, sperm transport, fertilized egg implantation, pregnancy and delivery. Reproductive tract infection of women of childbearing age affects their reproductive health, damages their reproductive function and increases the risk of infertility.

2. Detection of cervical lesions

Cervical diseases tend to be younger, which are closely related to fertility and pregnancy outcome. Regular gynecological physical examination, cervical liquid-based thin-layer cytology (TCT) and human papillomavirus (HPV) screening should be conducted to detect cervical diseases as soon as possible.

3. Detection of uterine abnormalities

Non-invasive ultrasound, such as hysteromyoma and endometrial polyp, is the most widely used examination method to evaluate the receptivity of uterus and endometrium, and to evaluate the shape, thickness, volume, peristalsis wave, uterine artery and hemodynamic parameters of endometrium. Hysteroscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of endometrial lesions, which can accurately identify cervical lesions, intrauterine lesions, abnormal endometrial morphology and abnormal tubal opening through endoscopy. Endometrial biopsy can also be performed. At present, there are cytokines, various receptors, endometrial receptivity chips and other detection methods to evaluate endometrial receptivity, and the research on endometrial receptivity is constantly expanding.

4. Tubal patency test

Including salpingostomy, hysterosalpingography/contrast-enhanced ultrasound and laparoscopic salpingostomy. At present, hysterosalpingography has become a research hotspot with its unique advantages (real-time dynamic, visualization and no radiation), and has gradually become the first choice for tubal patency examination. Liquid drainage has some shortcomings, such as invisibility, blindness and great difference. X-ray radiography, as a traditional method of tubal patency examination, mainly has the disadvantages of adverse reaction of contrast agent and radiation damage. Laparoscopic salpingostomy is the "gold standard", but it is not the first choice for the time being because of invasion, hospitalization, high cost, surgery and anesthesia.

The picture comes from the Internet.

5. Detection of pelvic factors

Pelvic diseases are closely related to female fertility, such as pelvic endometriosis, pelvic tuberculosis, pelvic adhesion, tubal diseases, hysteromyoma, ovarian tumors and pelvic inflammatory diseases. Laparoscopic surgery can find and diagnose abnormal pelvic conditions in time. For infertility caused by fallopian tube factors or uterine cavity factors, hysteroscopy combined with laparoscopy can treat pelvic cavity, fallopian tube and uterine cavity diseases accordingly, which has important clinical value for female fertility evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.

6. Female reproductive tract dysplasia

Abnormal development of female reproductive tract includes abnormal development of vagina, cervix, uterine body and fallopian tube, with or without abnormalities of ovary and urinary system. The combination of pelvic ultrasound and MRI examination is the best examination method for reproductive tract dysplasia.

Third, the general state assessment

In terms of systemic diseases, we should evaluate whether there are diseases that affect fertility or are not suitable for fertility, such as thyroid diseases, familial genetic diseases, blood system diseases, cardiopulmonary diseases and tumors.

1. Thyroid diseases

Abnormal thyroid function can lead to infertility and poor pregnancy outcome, so it is suggested that women with family planning should monitor thyroid function. Clinical hyperthyroidism can lead to abortion, premature delivery and thyroid crisis, and timely treatment can significantly reduce these risks; Infertile women with subclinical hypothyroidism should be treated with levothyroxine (LT4).

2. Hereditary diseases

According to the etiology, it can be divided into monogenic diseases, polygenic diseases, chromosomal diseases, mitochondrial genetic diseases and somatic genetic diseases, which have the characteristics of congenital, lifelong and familial. It is suggested that couples with rare diseases or couples who have given birth to rare diseases should have genetic testing and genetic counseling, reproductive risk assessment and guide reproductive decisions. The genetic diagnosis (PGD) before embryo implantation was provided after the pathogenic gene locus and genetic mode of the family were clarified.

3. Other general conditions

Nutritional status is a very important factor in regulating reproductive process, which is closely related to female reproductive function. For example, obesity and malnutrition have adverse effects on internal environment, egg quality and embryo development. In addition, mental state, living environment and systemic factors also need comprehensive consideration. Whether a woman’s whole system can withstand pregnancy is also the concern of fertility evaluation, including whether she is complicated with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and tumor.

4. Who needs fertility assessment?

1. Couples who have been pregnant for more than 1 year without pregnancy;

2. People who have had many bad pregnancies in the past;

3. People who have had multiple abortions or ectopic pregnancy in the past;

4. Women of childbearing age with less menstrual flow, irregular menstrual cycle and dysmenorrhea;

5. Obese or thin people (BMI>24 or BMI<18.5);

6. White-collar workers who stay up late and work overtime for a long time;

7. People who use computers and mobile phones for a long time to work in a radiation environment;

8. People with smoking, drinking, drug addiction and other habits.

In a word, fertility assessment can help women understand their fertility potential and possible fertility problems. In fact, whether you have the desire to have children at present or not, regular fertility assessment can help you plan your birth plan reasonably, receive corresponding medical help in time, and don’t leave regrets for your life!

Central Meteorological Observatory: Heavy rain and strong convection warning are all in full swing, and the high temperature tolerance in Huanghuai and other places in North China is full.

  Cctv newsAccording to the Central Meteorological Observatory, yesterday, heavy rainfall mainly occurred in eastern Sichuan, northwestern and southwestern Shaanxi, central Shanxi, northeastern Shandong, central Guangxi, eastern Guangdong and other places, including Chengdu, Mianyang and Guangyuan in Sichuan, Hanzhong in Shaanxi, Baise in Guangxi and Shanwei in Guangdong. Thunderstorms or hailstorms occurred in southern Ningxia, north-central Shaanxi, western Shanxi, and central and eastern Shandong. It is estimated that there will be heavy rain or rainstorm in the southwestern Shaanxi, eastern Sichuan Basin, Jianghan, Jianghuai, northern Jiangnan, eastern Huanghuai, eastern North China, southern Liaoning and northern Heilongjiang on the 28th to 30th, with local heavy rain accompanied by obvious strong convective weather. The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a blue warning for heavy rain and strong convective weather this morning.

  Today, there are heavy rainstorms in Liaodong Peninsula, eastern Beijing, northern Tianjin, northeastern Hebei, central and eastern Shandong, eastern Sichuan, southwestern Shaanxi, most of Chongqing and western Hubei, among which there is heavy rain (100-140 mm) in northern Chongqing, accompanied by short-term heavy rainfall (the maximum hourly rainfall is 30-50 mm, and the local area can exceed 60 mm). Parts of northeastern Inner Mongolia, southwestern Heilongjiang, central and western Jilin, southern Liaoning, southeastern Shaanxi, eastern Hebei, eastern Beijing, Tianjin, northern and eastern Shandong, northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu and other places will have 8-10 thunderstorms or hail weather, and the local wind can reach 11.

  The public should pay attention to the weather in time, prevent the adverse effects of heavy rainfall and local strong convective weather on traffic travel, and stay away from areas with high risk of meteorological disasters.

  In addition, it is expected that there will still be many hot weather in North China, Huanghuai and other places in the next two weeks, with the main high temperature periods from June 29 to July 2 and July 6-10. The daily maximum temperature in central Inner Mongolia, North China, Huanghuai and Fenwei Plain will be 35℃ ~ 39℃, and the local temperature can reach 41℃. High temperature weather is full of endurance, so the public should pay attention to temperature changes, reduce outdoor activities, take measures to prevent heatstroke and heat stroke.

Central Meteorological Observatory: The two strongest dust storms this year mainly originated in Mongolia.

  Cctv newsAccording to @ Central Meteorological Observatory Weibo, there have been eight sandstorm weather processes in China since this year, which is the most in the past 10 years. The main features are that the sandstorm weather appears early, the processes are frequent and the processes are concentrated since March.

  Appear early. The first sandstorm weather process this year occurred on January 12th, 32 days earlier than the first process in normal years.

  There are many dust processes. Since the beginning of this year, there have been 8 sandstorm weather processes in China, 2 times more than the same period of the previous year (6 times); It is the most in the same period in the past 10 years, and the fourth in the same period in the past 20 years, less than in 2001 (12 times), 2002 (10 times) and 2004 (10 times).

  The process has been concentrated since March. Since March, there have been six sandstorm weather processes in China, one more than the same period of the previous year (5 times); Two times more than the same period in the past 10 years (four times), second only to the same period in 2010 (eight times), and the same as the same period in 2018.

  Many sandstorms originated in Mongolia. The tracking and monitoring of the origin track of dust by meteorological satellite shows that the two strongest dust processes (March 19-23 and April 9-13) this year mainly originated in Mongolia, and the main sand source is more than 600 kilometers away from Beijing, which is affected by transmission, resulting in the continuous air quality in Beijing reaching a serious pollution level.

  According to historical statistics, from 2000 to 2022, there were 307 dust storms in China, with an average annual occurrence of 13.35 times, with the least occurrence in 2014 (7 times) and the most occurrence in 2001 (22 times). After 2011, the frequency and intensity of dust storms decreased significantly, with an average of 11.17 times in 2011-2022 and an average of 3 times in the dust storm process. More than 70% of the dusty weather in China occurs in spring, of which April is the most frequent month, followed by March and May.

Can’t beat Sam and Costco? Yonghui Warehouse Supermarket closed its store one year after its opening, and customers spit out too many miscellaneous brands.

  In addition to the collapse of supermarkets, Yonghui’s super species and mini stores have also shrunk rapidly. The warehouse supermarket, which began to expand vigorously last year, faced the dilemma of closing its stores for the first time.

  One year after exploring the "warehouse store" model, Yonghui Supermarket (SH:601933) ushered in the closing of the first warehouse supermarket.

  A few days ago, Yonghui Supermarket Shijiazhuang White Plaza Store announced the closing of the store for clearance. According to the signs in the store, the clearance promotion period lasted from July 29th to August 7th. It is reported that the store opened in November 2014, and in July last year, it became one of the experimental stores where Yonghui transformed hypermarkets into storage supermarkets.

  In recent years, domestic hypermarkets are on the ebb tide, and Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Yonghui have frequently closed their stores. In addition to folding the hypermarket, Yonghui’s super species and mini stores have also shrunk rapidly. The warehouse supermarket that began to expand aggressively last year faced the dilemma of closing its stores for the first time.

  Under the preferential efforts of 30% off clearance, the store triggered a rush to grab goods. "When I went, there were a sea of people, and I came out without buying anything." Local resident Xiao Chen (pseudonym) said that as of August 2, many shelves in the supermarket were empty.

  In fact, driven by Costco and Sam, the founders of warehouse member stores, domestic supermarkets have entered the market one after another, running out of two forms: warehouse member stores and warehouse supermarkets. The former can only enter by paying for membership, while the latter has no restrictions. In terms of scale, Yonghui is currently the head player of the free storage supermarket. Since the trial in May 2021, a total of 53 stores have been opened by the end of that year.

  However, Time Finance found that domestic players, such as Box Horse and Yonghui, seem to be still in a simple imitation stage, and their fist products, such as roast chicken, Swiss rolls and cheese rolls, are very similar to those in Sam.

  I opened 53 storage supermarkets in 7 months, but I was told that they were all miscellaneous brands.

  In Shijiazhuang market, well-known supermarket chains such as Beijing Hualian, Century Lianhua, Wankelong, Shenzhen Renrenle, Beijing Huapu are as busy as they are when they come, and as embarrassed as they leave.

  Among them, Yonghui’s White business district is the most competitive, and local enterprises such as Baolongcang, Beijing Huapu and Yichu Lotus have settled here successively, and then left angrily. Now with the exit of Yonghui Warehouse Supermarket, northland supermarket, the local strongman, has become the final winner.

  In 2011, Yonghui Supermarket entered the Hebei market, and expanded 9 stores within 3 years, becoming a small scale. In 2014, it opened its doors on the first floor of White Square to welcome guests, with a leased area of 13,115 square meters. The store was separated from northland supermarket by a street, and they had a hand-to-hand fight in the following eight years. In 2022, northland supermarket celebrated its 15th anniversary, but Yonghui ended in failure.

  A supplier of Yonghui Supermarket told Time Finance that when Yonghui first entered the Shijiazhuang market, a local supermarket had an operation to let the supplier choose one.

  According to public information, northland supermarket belongs to Shijiazhuang Beiguobai Group Co., Ltd., with a state-owned background, and its commercial map involves shopping centers, department stores, cultural tourism and entertainment, community commercial complexes, catering services, supermarkets, warehousing and transportation, jewelry and other formats. Company official website shows that it has 37 supermarkets in Shijiazhuang, covering a wide range.

  In addition, due to the great influence of northland supermarket and its parent company in Shijiazhuang, supermarket shopping cards are still the choice for many enterprises to distribute employee benefits. There is a local saying that half of the people in Shijiazhuang have shopping cards from northland supermarket.

  Time Finance learned that after Yonghui upgraded its warehouse supermarket in July last year, it made a compromise in product selection in order to make up for the profit gap caused by the decrease in gross profit. On the one hand, there are more miscellaneous brands in supermarkets, such as 1828 herbal tea toothpaste, which is being cleared and sold in 5 yuan. "I have never heard of this brand, and I feel that what northland supermarket sells is a brand, so Yonghui Supermarket has few brands, so I go less," said resident Jingjing (a pseudonym).

  On the other hand, storage supermarkets are characterized by expanding the number of stores, streamlining the number of goods (SKU) and large packaging. Although large-scale sales are conducive to increasing the unit price of customers and attracting family customers, streamlining SKU puts forward higher requirements for the supply chain and product selection ability, and consumers have fewer choices. Therefore, when the quality of the goods can’t win, the decrease of the available categories will lead to the loss of consumers.

  Local residents have a deep understanding of this. Xiao Ke (pseudonym) told Time Finance: "It may be because there are too few kinds of goods, and the things provided by the North are really complete." However, according to her, she went to Yonghui more often than in the north, "because Yonghui has fewer people and provides pet dog cages, which is very friendly to consumers with pets."

  In May 2021, Yonghui announced to test the water storage supermarket. In July, it took the lead in closing and upgrading the store in Dongsheng Square, Shijiazhuang. According to the annual report data, by the end of 2021, Yonghui had opened 53 storage supermarket stores. However, while expanding its stores in a big way, Yonghui Supermarket harvested its first annual report of revenue decline since listing. In 2021, its operating income decreased by 3.8% year-on-year, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company was 3.93 billion yuan, a decrease of 5.72 billion yuan compared with the same period of last year.

  Lack of explosive ability, staying in the imitation stage.

  In August 2019, Costco, the head enterprise of warehousing member stores, entered China and landed its first store in Shanghai. On the opening day, the roads around the store were congested and there was a large passenger flow in the store, which led to the suspension of business that afternoon.

  Sam entered China in 1996. According to the data released by Wal-Mart China, by the end of November 2021, the number of Sam member stores in China had reached 36, the number of members exceeded 4 million, and the membership fee income was 1.04 billion yuan. Wen Ande, President of Sam Member Store and Deputy CEO of Wal-Mart China, said that by the end of 2022, the number of member stores in Sam will reach 40-45.

  Foreign players have a strong momentum, and domestic retailers are super aware that the spring of warehousing membership is coming. Since then, Box Horse, Yonghui, Metro China, etc. have entered the market one after another, and launched two forms, namely, a charging warehouse member store and a non-charging warehouse supermarket, which are regarded as the company’s second growth curve. In order to become the winner of the new track, all enterprises regard store expansion as the first step to seize the market.

  After Metro China was acquired by Wumart, in May, 2020, it began to launch a paid membership program in 13 Metro stores, namely, PLUS membership, with a price of 199 yuan/year. Wumart’s prospectus shows that as of December 31, 2020, the number of PLUS members has increased to 1.48 million, of which 11 metro stores account for 48% of the total customers, and the order volume accounts for 67% of the total orders, which indicates that the membership plan will be gradually extended to other metro stores in the Mainland. On November 27th last year, Metro opened 16 member stores in 8 cities including Beijing and Nanjing.

  In May, 2021, Yonghui tried out the warehouse member store model. According to the financial report, by the end of the year, 53 stores had been opened, and the same-store sales increased by 32.9%. In October, Carrefour’s first member store in China was established in Shanghai. According to the plan, 100 hypermarkets will be upgraded and transformed into member stores in the next three years. Box horse, Beijing Hualian and others also entered the game.

  However, the track of the warehouse member store, which was still bustling in 2021, became quiet in 2022. According to the statistics of public information in Time Finance, so far this year, Metro China and Fudi have added one member store, Yonghui has added two, Carrefour China, northland supermarket, Jiajiayue and Beijing Hualian have added zero, which is in contrast with the rapid expansion of stores in 2021.

  On the other hand, foreign warehouse players are still making steady progress. Costco currently has three stores in China, including Shanghai, Suzhou and Shenzhen, but it has successively acquired land in cities such as Hangzhou, Shanghai and Nanjing to prepare for the opening of new stores. In July, Sam issued a recruitment notice at Wal-Mart, announcing that seven stores will open in Shanghai, Chongqing, Nanning, Changsha, Wuxi and Beijing in the second half of the year.

  A few days ago, Time Finance visited Tianhe Store in Guangzhou, Sam. Although it was a working day, the store was crowded with people. A family of three is almost a standard for customers. Children sit in shopping carts with all kinds of big items piled up behind them. Crayfish, milk, cold-soaked cold dishes and other tasting tables all need to line up. On that day, the croissants in the store were on sale, and almost every shopping cart contained one or two boxes.

  The staff said that this stream of people is not too much, and there are too many customers to walk on weekends. In the store, several elderly customers also told Time Finance that they had five old sisters in total, and they would come together to replenish the goods on weekdays from time to time. "The goods are of good quality and the prices are acceptable."

  However, domestic storage supermarkets are more in the imitation stage. Hou Yi, CEO of Box Horse, once said that Box Horse X member stores have borrowed from Costco in many ways. Time Finance noticed that the roast chicken, Swiss roll, potato, croissant, cheese beef roll and lime juice displayed in Boxma and Yonghui stores are all out-of-the-box products in Sam, and their prices are generally lower than those in Sam.

  It is worth noting that warehouse member stores are not superficially large-package, low-SKU, nor are they the same explosive products. The core logic behind them is the real competitiveness, such as inventory turnover speed, supply chain, product selection and customer positioning. For domestic warehouse supermarket players, it is better to sort out the logic behind the warehouse supermarket before expanding, which may be more conducive to long-term development.

Put a "price" in the summer! Kia EV5 offers a comprehensive discount of 50,000 yuan in a limited time. Can the sales volume increase again?

It’s July, which is the midsummer season when walking on the street will melt, and it’s also the time when the automobile industry "puts a big price" in summer. Since entering the new energy era, the market share of joint venture car companies has gradually decreased, especially Korean cars, and the brand Kia of yueda seems to have gradually faded out of public view.

Recently, however, Kia coincided with its 80th anniversary, which directly brought a wave of embarrassment to consumers. The comprehensive discount of Kia EV5 reached 50,000 yuan, including 10,000 yuan for car trade-in. In fact, it’s not just KIA EV5.
