WHEN Zhan Wenlian died New Balance 574 Yellow , her husband and son didn¡¯t consider a normal burial. Instead, they had her body frozen, hoping technology would someday return her to them.

Zhan, 49, died from lung cancer on May 8. Two minutes after she was declared dead at Shandong University¡¯s Qilu Hospital, scientists and doctors injected various chemicals into her body in an attempt to reduce blood clotting and brain damage.

Then her body was transferred to a laboratory at Shandong Yinfeng Life Sciences Research Institute, where her body temperature was lowered and her blood replaced with a mixture of anti-freeze and organ-preserving chemicals.

The temperature of her body was further lowered before she was wrapped in a ¡°sleeping bag¡± and put in a metal capsule. It is being stored in a liquid nitrogen container at a temperature of minus 196 degrees Celsius.

¡°The device will monitor the temperature and volume changes of the liquid nitrogen. Approximately every 10 days New Balance 574 Blue , staff will add liquid nitrogen,¡± said Zang Chuanbao, director of the institute¡¯s cryo-medicine research center.

¡®Pressed the pause button¡¯

¡°I thought she was just lazy and fell asleep. She just pressed the pause button on her life,¡± said Gui Junmin, Zhan¡¯s husband.

The Jinan-based research institute was established by Yinfeng Biological Group in 2015. Its fields include gene engineering, stem cell technology New Balance 574 Black , human cell and organ storage and resurrection.

¡°Theoretically, her metabolism and cellular activity are stagnated. There is no issue with keeping her body like this for centuries. Perhaps, one day when technology advances, she can be resurrected,¡± said Zang.

The institute extracted stem cells from Zhan¡¯s blood, which could potentially be beneficial for her revival or for her family members.

Zhan is the first Chinese national to have her entire body cryogenically frozen. In 2015, Chinese science fiction editor Du Hong New Balance 574 Sale , 61, died of pancreatic cancer and had her head cryogenically frozen and stored at the headquarters of Alcor Life Extension Foundation in the United States.

American scientist James Bedford became the first cryogenically frozen human in 1967.

Around 300 individuals have had either their whole body, head or brain frozen in liquid nitrogen.

There are only a handful of facilities around the world dedicated to cryo-preservation, such as US-based Alcor and KrioRus in Russia.

¡°I have peace of mind knowing that no matter what happens in the future... I am signed up and there is that possibility I could wake up in the future,¡± Alcor member Dr Kathleen Cotter commented on the company¡¯s website.

However, such an option is not without controversy.

¡°The procedure has been done, but it is too early to call it successful New Balance 574 Sport ,¡± said Ouyang Xilin, a doctor at First Affiliated Hospital of Chinese PLA General Hospital. ¡°We are not sure about the vitality of organs, tissues and cells,¡± he said.

No laws on cryonics

¡°Avoiding damage to the body during the temperature changes is key to the procedure,¡± said Xu Yi, a biology professor at University of Shanghai for Science and Technology.

¡°Freezing human bodies has been discussed worldwide for decades. It is not possible now to resurrect them, but the procedure is a period of experimentation New Balance 574 ,¡± Xu said.

Critics are also concerned it may pose challenges for medical ethics and legal systems as there are no laws or regulations on cryonics in China.

Some people worry that if future technology allows immortality, the rich and powerful may monopolize the benefits of prolonging life.

¡°The technology may lead to the most terrible cases of injustice,¡± said Tian Fu, associate law professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

¡°If some time in the future, you passed away but your mother was still in the world, what would you do?¡± Gui asked his son, who supported the decision to freeze his mother.

¡°I would tell my children why we made this decision today and where their grandmother was so they can tell their children Cheap New Balance 574 ,¡± his son answered.

Gui believes advances in medical technology will one day allow his wife to wake up. When he dies, he wants to be frozen to allow the chance of a reunion.

The family is recording what is happening in the family, in China and beyond. They will store the information in her files at the institute. ¡°One day when she wakes up, she can learn what happened when she was absent,¡± Gui said.

CHONGQING, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Southwest China's Chongqing city will build a museum featuring history and objects related to weapon production during the country's war against Japanese troops from 1931 to 1945.

The facility, with a planned exhibition area of 12 New Balance 574 Shoes ,000 square meters, will be constructed based on the ruins of a wartime ordnance manufacturing site encompassing 25 production units in today's Jiulongpo District.

Over 40,000 exhibits, to be held in eight halls, will debut when the museum opens during National Day holiday in October.

Chongqing used to be a major production base for all kinds of weapons, including cannons, grenades and guns New Balance 574 Red , during the 14-year Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression starting in 1931.

When your career heavily revolves all-around your van or truck for receiving all-around and carrying materials, nearly anything heading incorrect is usually a major dilemma. Whenever you operate for just a massive firm, you will probably find a way to have a further van if anything goes mistaken with yours, but self-employed personnel and smaller organization will obtain any set back a serious challenge.
