TẾ NAM, TRUNG QUỐC – Media OutReach Newswire – Ngày 03 tháng 02 năm 2026 – Bodor Laser, doanh nghiệp toàn cầu chuyên cung cấp giải pháp cắt laser, vừa chính thức ra mắt máy cắt laser ống tốc độ cao dòng SK, đồng thời giới thiệu khái niệm mới mang tên “Siêu tốc” dành cho lĩnh vực gia công ống. Khái niệm này nhấn mạnh việc nâng cao hiệu quả sản xuất tổng thể thông qua sự kết hợp giữa hiệu suất tốc độ cao, độ ổn định của kết cấu máy và tự động hóa thông minh trong toàn bộ quy trình sản xuất.

Dòng SK Series được thiết kế nhằm đảm bảo độ tin cậy khi vận hành ở tốc độ cao, với gia tốc tối đa 2,7G và tốc độ quay tối đa 260 vòng/phút. Mâm cặp sau chỉ cần 2,5 giây để hoàn tất định vị, đáp ứng yêu cầu định vị ống nhanh và duy trì quá trình cắt liên tục. Theo thử nghiệm nội bộ, hiệu suất gia công mà hệ thống đạt được cao hơn tới 1,8 lần ở mức gia tốc 2,7G so với khi vận hành ở mức 1G.

Tốc độ trục Z của đầu laser lên tới 60 m/phút giúp duy trì độ chính xác, kết hợp với thuật toán theo dõi thích ứng tiên tiến, cho phép điều chỉnh chiều cao một cách nhanh và chính xác trong quá trình cắt. Hệ thống cho phép vừa nạp ống vừa cắt, rút ngắn thời gian nạp ống xuống còn khoảng 8 giây và tăng hiệu suất xử lý tổng thể hơn 20%.

Để duy trì độ ổn định ở tốc độ cao, dòng SK được trang bị kết cấu cầu vòm độc quyền của Bodor Laser. Thiết kế truyền động tam giác ba chiều giúp phân bổ lực hợp lý trong quá trình chuyển động nhanh, từ đó nâng cao độ cân bằng cơ học và đảm bảo độ ổn định bền vững trong thời gian dài.

Hệ thống mâm cặp được chế tạo từ vật liệu hợp kim cường độ cao và trải qua quy trình xử lý nhiệt tiên tiến. So với thế hệ trước, độ chính xác khi định vị tăng trên 20%. Ngoài ra, công nghệ hành trình tăng cường mâm cặp phía trước cho phép kẹp hai mâm khi gia công ống dài, giúp duy trì độ chính xác ổn định trong suốt toàn bộ quá trình cắt.

Nhằm đáp ứng xu hướng sản xuất quy mô nhỏ với nhiều chủng loại, dòng SK được tích hợp hệ thống xếp phôi thông minh dựa trên AI, cho phép tự động tối ưu hóa đường cắt. So với phương pháp xếp phôi truyền thống, hệ thống này nâng cao hiệu suất cắt lên tới 30% và nâng cao hiệu quả sử dụng vật liệu, giúp tiết kiệm hơn 1.000 ống mỗi năm trong điều kiện sản xuất toàn diện.

Cấu hình tùy chọn — bao gồm cắt không đuôi, cắt vát, và nạp và xả phôi kèm giá đỡ theo sau — giúp dòng SK đáp ứng được nhiều yêu cầu sản xuất tiên tiến khác nhau. Với khái niệm Siêu tốc, mục tiêu mà Bodor Laser đặt ra là thiết lập được những chuẩn mực mới về hiệu suấtvà độ tin cậy trong công nghệ cắt laser ống.

Spin the lucky windmills at Galaxy Macau to generate vitality and good luck with glittering offers breezing through the luxury resort to shower guests with good fortune

MACAU SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 February 2026 – Galaxy Macau, Asia’s leading luxury integrated resort, proudly launches “Start the Year Lucky at Galaxy Macau” Chinese New Year Campaign, inviting guests to embrace good fortune through a curated selection of festive activities, culinary experiences, exclusive shopping privileges and immersive entertainment from February 4 to March 3. Signup on WeChat for Galaxy Ultimate membership to enjoy every bit of each visit.

Spin lucky windmills to receive great blessings

This year’s celebrations are built around the central theme of the lucky windmill, a playful and symbolic motif believed to usher in luck. Throughout the season, Galaxy Macau will be adorned with enchanting windmill décor—each spin symbolising the arrival of good fortune. Across Galaxy Promenade, in resemblance of spring flowers in full bloom, giant displays of peach blossom and daffodil windmills symbolise a continuous flow of good fortune and blossoming prosperity. Guests will discover these windmills thoughtfully placed across the resort and are invited to spin selected ones to capture auspicious blessings for the coming Chinese New Year and take wonderful photos, creating visual harmony with the resort’s gilded architecture and inviting visitors to welcome luck at every turn.

Beginning on February 4, the day marking the start of spring in the traditional lunisolar calendar, Galaxy Macau’s iconic, multisensory Diamond Show will transform into a special seasonal format, accompanied by two gigantic windmills that accentuate the elements of luck, adding dazzling brilliance to the resort’s celebrations. During Chinese New Year, traditional lion dances and God of Fortune greetings will shower auspicious blessings on guests, strengthening the spirit of renewal and good luck throughout the luxury resort.

From February 4 to March 3, guests spending MOP300 or more, or presenting a hotel keycard with holder or same-day show tickets at mall concierge counters at Galaxy Promenade, will receive a lucky gift prepared to spread the vibrant festive greetings.

Families checking in over the festive period can look forward to a rich programme of Chinese New Year–themed workshops at the Galaxy Kidz Edutainment Center. Specially designed for younger hotel guests, these workshops offer engaging, hands‑on experiences that introduce children to festive icons, seasonal crafts and cultural stories associated with the Chinese New Year. These activities not only add playfulness and creativity to the celebrations but also allow children to shape cherished memories during their stays at Galaxy Macau.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 February 2026 – Liver cancer is one of the three deadliest cancers worldwide, and metabolic dysfunction-related cases have become increasingly common in recent years. A research team from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has identified a protein secreted by fat cells that promotes cancer growth and has successfully developed a novel antibody that neutralises this protein, marking a significant breakthrough in impeding the progression of liver cancer. The research findings have been published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), commonly known as fatty liver disease, currently affects around a quarter of the global population and is an important risk factor for liver cancer. In affected individuals, fat cells induce insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, leading to excessive fat accumulation in the liver. This ultimately impairs liver function and may progress to liver cancer. Treatment options for MASLD-induced liver cancer remain limited and the effectiveness of current immunotherapies is suboptimal.

A breakthrough study led by Prof. Terence LEE, Associate Head and Professor of the PolyU Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology, and his research team has revealed that an adipocyte-derived protein, known as fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) is a key driver that accelerates tumour growth. Through mass spectrometry, the team confirmed that patients with MASLD-induced liver cancer had markedly elevated FABP4 levels in their serum. Further investigations showed that FABP4 activates a series of pro-proliferative signalling pathways within cells, causing cancer cells to multiply and grow more rapidly.

Prof. Lee’s team has successfully developed a monoclonal antibody that neutralises FABP4. This antibody not only inhibits the growth and proliferation of FABP4-driven cancer stem cells, but also enhances the ability of immune cells to combat cancer.

Prof. Lee said, “This neutralising antibody against FABP4 demonstrates significant potential in inhibiting tumour growth and activating immune cells, providing a complementary approach to current immunotherapy strategies. Our findings highlight that targeting adipocyte-derived FABP4 holds promise for treating MASLD-induced liver cancer.”

Prof. Lee added that gaining deeper insights into how adipocyte-derived FABP4 affects liver cancer cells helps to explicate the disease mechanisms of liver cancer, particularly in obese individuals. Intervening in the relevant signalling pathways could provide effective methods to combat this aggressive malignancy.

Prof. Lee believes that, as this adipocyte-targeted immunotherapy continues to mature, it will bring more treatment options to MASLD patients. He remarked, “If its efficacy can be proven in clinical trials, it could offer new hope to many affected individuals.”

The research is supported by the Innovation and Technology Fund of the Innovation and Technology Commission of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. PolyU has filed a non-provisional patent for the developed antibody and is continuing to optimise its binding affinity to facilitate future clinical applications.

香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年2月3日 – 肝癌是全球三大最致命癌症之一，而与代谢功能障碍有关的肝癌近年愈见普遍。香港理工大学（理大）的研究团队发现了一种由脂肪细胞分泌、能促进癌症生长的蛋白质，并成功研发可中和该蛋白质的新型抗体，在抑制肝癌进展方面取得重要进展，研究成果已发表于国际期刊《临床研究杂志》（Journal of Clinical Investigation）。

代谢功能障碍相关脂肪肝病（MASLD，俗称「脂肪肝」）现已影响全球约四分之一的人口，是引发肝癌的重要风险因素之一。患者的脂肪细胞会引发胰岛素阻抗及慢性炎症，并导致肝脏内过量脂肪积累，最终损害肝脏功能，甚至演变成肝癌。然而，目前针对脂肪肝所致肝癌的治疗选择有限，现有免疫疗法的疗效亦未如理想。

理大应用生物及化学科技学系副系主任及教授李建华教授及其研究团队的一项突破性研究发现，脂肪细胞分泌的一种名为「脂肪酸结合蛋白4」（FABP4）的蛋白质，是促进肿瘤快速生长的关键。透过质谱分析，团队确认脂肪肝引发肝癌患者的血清中，FABP4浓度均显著升高。进一步研究显示，FABP4会启动细胞内一连串促进增殖的讯号机制，令癌细胞加速增殖与生长。

李教授的团队成功研发了一种能够中和FABP4的「单克隆抗体」，该抗体有效抑制FABP4驱动癌症干细胞的增殖，同时增强免疫细胞对抗癌症。

李教授表示：「这种针对FABP4的中和抗体，在抑制肿瘤生长和激活免疫细胞方面展现巨大潜力，可为现有的免疫治疗提供辅助策略。我们的研究结果显示，干预脂肪细胞分泌的FABP4，有望成为治疗脂肪肝诱发肝癌的新方法。」

李教授续指，深入了解脂肪组织分泌的 FABP4 对肝癌细胞的影响，有助阐明肝癌的发病机制，特别是在肥胖者身上。针对相关讯号通路进行干预，可为对抗这种恶性疾病提供有效方法。

李教授相信， 随着这项基于脂肪细胞分泌物的免疫方案日渐成熟，未来有望为「脂肪肝」病患者带来更多治疗选择。他指：「若能于临床层面验证其疗效，将为不少相关患者带来新希望。」

是项研究由中华人民共和国香港特别行政区政府创新科技署的创新及科技基金资助。目前，理大已就所研发的抗体申请了非临时专利，并正持续提升其结合亲和力，以促进未来临床应用。

For a limited time, customers can enjoy up to 7 months’ premium refund[2] upon successful application with tax deduction benefits

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 February 2026 – In a strategic response to customers’ growing need for unparalleled medical and in-patient experience, AIA has launched the AIA Voluntary Health Insurance SelectWise Scheme (“SelectWise”), the first VHIS plan in the market to feature a dedicated medical journey.³ Designed for everyday consumers seeking more quality healthcare at an affordable budget, SelectWise has no sub-limits on individual benefit items,⁴ a feature typically seen in high-end medical insurance. By choosing in-patient care at SelectWise Designated Hospitals⁵ in Hong Kong, customers can also enjoy upgraded room types.¹

A recent survey⁶ by AIA Hong Kong showed that nearly half (46%) of respondents across the city prioritise comfort and privacy during hospitalisation, while three in five (57%) have sought or considered medical care in Chinese Mainland. SelectWise allows customers to plan northbound medical care journeys with the first-in-industry⁷ Care Concierge⁸ services, including dedicated Service Ambassador.

Ms Alice Liang, Chief Proposition & Healthcare Officer of AIA Hong Kong & Macau, said, “With Hongkongers’ pressing need for quality private healthcare, medical insurance is more important than ever. At AIA, we are committed to addressing customer needs through innovation. SelectWise combines a curated medical network with one-stop services, giving customers access to quality private healthcare with peace of mind and a reasonable budget, delivering on our purpose of Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.

SelectWise is more than a product innovation; it represents a significant step forward in AIA’s commitment to advancing our Integrated Health Strategy (IHS) and reshaping the medical insurance ecosystem. This initiative builds on the momentum of AIA’s inaugural Healthcare Financing Summit in June last year and reinforces our ongoing efforts to foster cross-sector collaboration in Hong Kong’s medical landscape. Through IHS, we aim to make healthcare more accessible, more affordable, and more effective for the communities we serve.”

Upgraded room types¹ or quality in-patient experience at designated hospitals across Hong Kong, Macau and Chinese Mainland

In Hong Kong, customers opting for network doctors within the SelectWise Medical Network⁹ can enjoy semi-private rooms at designated hospitals,^1,5 with all medical expenses during hospitalisation pre-approved¹⁰ for peace of mind.

SelectWise has no sub-limits on individual benefit items⁴ for key medical expenses, offering customers greater flexibility in coverage to allocate payouts on items that matter most.
