US studies show that statins may help reduce flu mortality

According to a study published by the US researchers in the US Journal of Infectious Diseases on the 14th, statin drugs used to lower cholesterol levels may also help reduce the mortality rate of severe flu patients.

Researchers at the Oregon Public Health Bureau analyzed data from more than 3,000 patients in 10 US states that were hospitalized between 2007 and 2008 due to severe flu. They found that patients who took statins during their hospital stay had a 41% lower mortality rate than those who did not, excluding age, heart disease, lung or kidney disease, and anti-viral drug Tamiflu.

The researchers said that statin drugs may be used for the treatment of influenza in the future, but it should not be added to the standard treatment for influenza patients. There are limitations to this study, such as whether flu patients taking statins are healthier than those who are not taking them, and further research is needed to confirm the benefits of statins.

Due to its anti-infection function, statin drugs have attracted the attention of virologists in recent years. There have been studies showing that statins can reduce inflammation in flu patients and prevent their immune systems from overreacting to the virus.

Water Meters



The water meters are the most popular used meters and have very long history of development. Water meters are mainly measuring the total flow for the water consumption. From many years of growing and development, from the very simple water meters,residential water meter,cold water meter, electronic water meters, Mechanical Water Meters, Ultrasonic Water Meters, smart water meters to the wireless water meters, people cares much more about the water meters accuracy and energy saving. Our company concentrates on the development of the mechanical water meters and ultrasonic water meters for many years.

Our mechanical water meters are mainly with the accuracy class 3 and our ultrasonic water meters are with the accuracy class 2. Now our company is still developing the water meters with higher level accuracy. Comparing with the traditional simple water meters, our water meters strengthen the advantages of water saving, higher accuracy, easy installation and long lifetime use. Usually speaking, our water meters have more than 5 years quality guarantee. Meanwhile, low cost maintenance is also very good advantages of our water meters.
