Today's Refutation of Rumors (29 March 2024)

  Rumor: "Myopia miracle drug" atropine can reverse myopia?

  Truth: Recently, it has been circulated on the Internet that "atropine sulfate eye drops are a 'miracle drug for myopia'" and can "reverse myopia", which has attracted attention. In fact, the main role of atropine is to "prevent" and "control" myopia, it does not have the ability to reverse the treatment of myopia, and it is not a miracle drug for myopia. As a prescription drug, it has corresponding indications and contraindications, and parents should not buy it on their own and use it blindly.

  The need to use atropine is for children whose eye axis is growing too fast. It is recommended that children who have just found myopia should recheck their eye axis at least once within 3 months on the basis of optical correction (glasses) and improvement of eye habits, and judge whether to use atropine through the changes in the eye axis.

  At present, myopia cannot be reversed through drugs, and children and adolescents should develop good reading and writing habits, reduce dependence on electronic products, let their eyes get enough rest, and protect their eyes.

  Popular science: What is the relationship between the big house in the ancient city of Pixian and Sanxingdui?

  Details: The ancient town located in Pidu District, Chengdu City is named after the "city" surrounded by a mound on the northeast side of the town, and the local folk have been circulating the story of Zhuge Liangtun's soldiers raising horses during the Three Kingdoms period. After archaeologists carried out a comprehensive exploration and excavation of it, the "big house" found in the middle of the ancient city attracted great attention.

  Yan Jinsong, director of the Chengdu Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, who was in charge of the excavation in 1997, said: "We uncovered a 'big house' with an area of 551 square meters in the ancient city (the foundation site of the F5 building in the ancient city of Pixian County). The big house's special location, located in the middle of the ancient city, the direction of the house site is consistent with the direction of the ancient city, it is the largest single house building foundation site found in the Baodun culture period so far, and its wall foundation construction method is quite similar to the largest single building in the Sanxingdui site found in the Shang period, Qingguanshan No. 1 building foundation site, both are based on pebbles and red clay, Sanxingdui wooden bone mud wall building is also similar to the Baodun culture wood bone mud wall building, indicating that the Sanxingdui site is about the Shang period culture and the Sanxingdui site phase I culture, that is, the late Neolithic Baodun culture in the house construction technology inheritance relationship。 ”

  Although the time difference between the "big house" of the ancient city site of Pixian County and the large building of Sanxingdui is hundreds of years, there is a certain inheritance connection, which provides important information for the in-depth study of the foundation of the Sanxingdui bronze civilization.

  Tips: The Chinese Embassy in South Korea reminds you to be wary of all kinds of "concert ticket fraud"

  Details: Recently, many Chinese citizens have come to South Korea to watch concerts. Due to the shortage of tickets, some citizens buy tickets through informal channels, which has great risks and hidden dangers. The Chinese Embassy in South Korea reminds Chinese citizens who come to South Korea to watch the performance: be vigilant against all kinds of "concert ticket fraud", strengthen judgment, and protect their own rights and interests.

  (1) Be vigilant against fake tickets through unofficial channels

  Fraudsters take advantage of fans' eagerness to buy tickets, set up Chinese and Korean versions of fake ticket-buying websites, and sell "high-imitation tickets" under the cover of a large number of fake transactions, which is extremely hidden. Ticket buyers did not realise that they had been deceived until they were blocked from entering the venue with their tickets.

  (2) Be wary of second-hand trading "blackout" scams

  Fraudsters falsely claim that there are so-called "internal channels", requiring buyers to bypass the formal trading platform to trade privately or pay a deposit in advance, and then "black" the other party after the money arrives, and the ticket buyer can only suffer a "dumb loss".

  (3) Be vigilant against "bureau-within-bureau" telecommunications fraud

  On the occasion of the concert, the telecom fraud gang disguised itself as a ticket seller, sent a "phishing" website link to the ticket buyer, and obtained the ticket buyer's bank account password, verification code and other information for the reasons of paying the ticket deposit and "unfrozen" the collection account, etc., to carry out telecom fraud.
