1 / COVID antigen tests approved

新冠抗原检测试剂获批

China's top drug regulator has approved two antigen tests for COVID-19 that can produce results within 20 minutes, aimed at expediting management of suspected cases of the virus and boosting testing capacity. 

国家药监局近日批准了两个新冠病毒抗原检测试剂，产品检测时间在20分钟之内，可用于对疑似人群进行快速管理，提高检测能力。

Antigen tests, which detect proteins on the surface of the virus, are considered cheaper and faster, but less accurate than the widely used nucleic acid tests, which look for genetic traces of the virus in samples. 

抗原检测的工作原理是检测病毒表面的蛋白质，比目前广泛应用的核酸检测价格要便宜、出结果更快，但准确度不如核酸检测。核酸检测的工作原理是在样本中检测病毒的基因痕迹。

The newly approved tests, developed by Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech Co and Beijing Jinwofu Bioengineering Technology Co, are the first antigen tests for COVID-19 to be approved by the National Medical Products Administration, it said in a statement released on Thursday. 

国家药监局11月5日在声明中表示，新批准的这两个抗原检测试剂由广州万孚生物技术股份有限公司和北京金沃夫生物工程科技有限公司生产，这是我国首次批准新冠病毒抗原检测试剂。

The administration noted, however, that antigen tests alone cannot be used to confirm COVID-19 infection. "Antigen test results should be evaluated along with nucleic acid test results, CT imaging and epidemiologic history before making a diagnosis," it said.

但国家药监局提示，抗原检测不能单独用于新型冠状病毒感染的诊断，应结合核酸检测、影像学、流行病学史来判断感染状态。

2 / Stent prices to fall 90%

冠脉支架进入千元时代

Centralized procurement of coronary stents is expected to see prices in China fall by at least 90%. 

国家组织的集中带量采购预计将让冠脉支架的价格下降超过9成。

The bulk-buy program is expected to make coronary stents, once priced at more than 10,000 yuan each, available to patients in Chinese hospitals for roughly 1,000 yuan for the treatment of coronary heart disease. It is estimated that the price reduction will save patients some 10.9 billion yuan a year in related expenses. 

冠脉支架手术是治疗冠心病的医疗手段，单个支架的价格原来在1万元以上，经国家集中带量采购后价格可下降至1000元左右，预计每年将为患者节约109亿元左右的相关费用。

China has more than 330 million patients with heart disease, according to a report last  year by the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases. It said the number of patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention - which uses stents to open narrowed arteries that supply heart muscle with blood - soared dramatically, from 230,000 in 2009 to more than 1 million last year.

国家心血管病中心去年发布的报告显示，我国心血管病患者人数超过3.3亿。从2009年到2019年，接受经皮冠状动脉介入治疗的患者人数从23万例剧增至超过100万例。经皮冠状动脉介入治疗是指为狭窄的冠状动脉管腔置入支架，从而改善心肌供血的治疗方法。

美国民主党总统候选人乔•拜登11月7日晚宣布在2020年美国总统大选中获胜，而美国总统唐纳德•特朗普拒绝承认败选。

In a speech delivered from Wilmington, Delaware, Biden urged unity and reached out directly to Trump's supporters. "Let's give each other a chance," he said, urging Democrats and Republicans to "stop treating our opponents as our enemy."

Earlier in the day, Trump said that the 2020 election is "far from over," vowing to take legal actions. Biden's speech came a few hours after he had been projected by multiple US media outlets to have won over 270 electoral votes. Biden has made the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic a central issue of his presidential bid.

Japanese Emperor Naruhito's younger brother, Crown Prince Fumihito, was formally sworn in as first in line to the Chrysanthemum Throne in a traditional palace ritual on Sunday that has been postponed for seven months and scaled down due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The ceremony for the 54-year-old crown prince, better known as Prince Akishino, concludes a series of imperial succession rituals that began in May last year when Naruhito ascended to the throne after their 86-year-old father Akihito abdicated.
