International Women’s Day: Why Menopause May Be a Missed Cardiovascular Risk Window

jcn

TOKYO, Mar 6, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As International Women’s Day prompt renewed focus on women’s health, OMRON Healthcare has released a new Women’s Heart Health Factbook spotlighting an often-overlooked issue: the intersection between menopause, hypertension, and long-term cardiovascular risk.Why this mattersAn estimated 32% of women aged 30–79 worldwide are living with hypertension.Yet only 59% are diagnosed, and just 23% achieve effective blood pressure control.That equates to less than a quarter of hypertensive women managing to stabilise their blood pressure.Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in women globally, with ischemic heart disease and stroke accounting for the majority of cases. Risk often accelerates during and after menopause, as declining estrogen levels affect vascular health and blood pressure regulation.Women also face additional life-stage factors that may influence cardiovascular outcomes, including pregnancy-related hypertension and hormonal contraceptive use, underscoring the importance of consistent monitoring across the lifespan.Expert perspective"Despite being the leading cause of death for women globally, cardiovascular disease is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated in women due to longstanding biases in research, clinical guidelines and symptom recognition," said Prof. Alta Schutte, Principal Theme Lead of Cardiac, Vascular and Metabolic Medicine in the Faculty of Medicine and Health at UNSW Sydney, Australia.“Menopause is not only a major life transition — it is also a cardiovascular turning point,” added Karel Herberigs, Managing Director, OMRON Healthcare EMEA. “Greater awareness and routine monitoring can help close a persistent care gap and support earlier intervention.”Archanna Mohangoo, Medical Marketing Manager (EMEA), said: “Too often, symptoms such as fatigue, disrupted sleep, or heart palpitations are attributed solely to menopause, when they may in some cases signal underlying conditions such as hypertension or atrial fibrillation (AFib), which can significantly increase stroke and heart disease risk if left undetected. This Factbook aims to encourage women and healthcare providers alike to look more closely at cardiovascular health during this stage of life.”Potential coverage anglesThe global hypertension care gap in womenMenopause as a cardiovascular risk inflection pointWhy blood pressure monitoring should remain a priority beyond reproductive yearsThe under-recognised burden of heart disease in womenPrevention and early detection strategies across the lifespanThe full Women’s Heart Health Factbook is available to download from: https://brandportal.healthcare.omron.com/share/365D593E-78F0-4F35-9C8A589508CB5951/For interviews, expert commentary, or additional data, please contact: omronhealthcare-pr@kyodo-pr.co.jp Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, March 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong Shenzhen Xunce Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xunce Technology” or the “Company”, stock code: 3317.HK) announced a profit alert announcement. Against the backdrop where most industry peers are still in the investment stage and burning capital continuously, the Company has withstood the test of market cycles and delivered a remarkable performance that substantially outperformed the market consensus, demonstrating strong growth resilience and improving profitability.According to the Company’s announcement, during the reporting period, the Company recorded revenue of RMB 1,283 million, representing a substantial year-on-year increase of 102.95%, with a qualitative leap in profitability. Excluding non-recurring gains or losses, the Company’s adjusted net loss for 2025 amounted to RMB 55 million, representing a significant narrowing as compared with 2024, reflecting continuous improvement in operating quality.In terms of business performance, both the revenue scale and the extent of loss reduction significantly exceeded market analysts’ expectations (Wind Consensus Estimate: revenue RMB 987 million, net profit – RMB 134 million). Particularly noteworthy is that the Company’s revenue for the second half of 2025 surged by 448% compared with the first half, demonstrating a strong quarterly explosive growth trend. The Company’s performance growth momentum has been fully released, with its development drivers continuously strengthened.A Successful Business Model and Forward-Looking Strategy Driving Explosive Performance GrowthClearly, this is inseparable from the strong support of Xunce Technology’s forward-looking strategic layout and successful business model. At the business model level, Xunce Technology has deeply deployed its core technologies and solutions on clients’ self-managed cloud or local systems. Its services cover the top 10 asset management companies in China by asset management scale, and the Company has successfully expanded its solutions to diversified industries beyond asset management, establishing a solid industry leadership position.It is precisely this solid and highly-engaged customer base that has enabled the Company to seize the opportunities of the new wave of technological innovation. In 2025, global AI large models entered a new stage of large-scale deployment, with AI infrastructure and industry solutions rapidly penetrating diverse application scenarios. Enterprises’ demand for real-time, high-quality, and structured data has grown exponentially. The Company has accurately captured these industry opportunities,  continued to increase investment in technology R&D and product iteration, and comprehensively upgraded its real-time data platform and AI Agent capabilities. These efforts efficiently meet the data processing, governance, and application requirements of the large-model era, making a major contribution to the Company’s strong performance growth.Another key driver behind the Company’s explosive performance growth comes from business expansion in emerging sectors. In 2025, the Company continued to make breakthroughs in cutting-edge emerging fields such as commercial aerospace, robotics, and intelligent manufacturing, where the market demand for related data solutions has surged dramatically.As enterprise-level AI applications have officially entered a paid adoption boom cycle, the Company has continuously deepened and upgraded its cooperative relationships with core clients. Clients’ willingness to pay for data infrastructure and intelligent analysis services has increased significantly, driving a leap in ARPU. This has further expanded the Company’s performance growth boundaries and unlocked greater room for revenue expansion.Looking ahead, as the Company progressively upgrades its business model to multiple models, including by-token pricing for API invocations, by-token charges for model training, and performance-based payment and revenue-sharing mechanisms, its profit structure will continue to be optimized. The predictability and sustainability of its revenue will be significantly enhanced, enabling the Company to build a more solid growth trajectory and broader profit potential, thereby driving high-quality and sustainable long-term growth in its operating performance.Operating Efficiency Surges, High-Growth Attributes Clearly EstablishedFrom the perspective of key operating indicators, Xunce Technology, with its AI Data Agent at the core, has continuously strengthened its real-time data processing capabilities and built a full-chain technology system with scenario-based applications, achieving dual breakthroughs in operating efficiency and commercial value:The Company’s revenue per employee has reached RMB 2.9 million, approximately double that of traditional software enterprises, reflecting a significant improvement in workforce productivity and setting a new benchmark for industry efficiency. ARPU has surged to RMB 5.56 million, representing a year-on-year doubling from RMB 2.72 million in 2024. This marks a major breakthrough and demonstrates the continued strengthening of the Company’s product competitiveness and growing recognition of its value among customers.In terms of revenue performance, the Company recorded revenue of RMB 1.283 billion in 2025, surpassing the RMB 1 billion scale threshold and marking its entry into a new stage of high-quality development. This milestone reflects a notable strengthening of both scale effects and commercialization capabilities. The Company’s growth rate significantly outpaced the industry average, demonstrating robust growth momentum.Overall, leveraging its leading business model, continuous product innovation, and efficient operating system, the Company has been advancing steadily along the path of high-quality development. Its profitability, growth potential, and industry competitiveness have become increasingly prominent, clearly establishing its high-growth profile.Benchmarking Against Global Data Giant Palantir, Unlocking Long-Term Growth PotentialIn fact, the comprehensive competitiveness of Xunce Technology extends far beyond the above achievements. At the strategic level, the Company has long established a clear development blueprint with immense long-term potential: benchmarking against the world-leading data giant Palantir, it has built full-chain capabilities spanning data acquisition, governance, analysis, and large-model scenario applications, with a high degree of alignment in technical architecture, business model, and growth path. As the Company continues to consolidate its technological barriers and its performance enters a phase of high-speed explosive growth, the market-recognized “China’s version of Palantir” has officially emerged, with its long-term growth potential fully unlocked.The explosive growth delivered in this round of results has further enabled the market to clearly recognize the Company’s scarce intrinsic strengths and the true depth of its value. As a highly scarce investment target in the AI data infrastructure sector of the Hong Kong stock market, the Company has built hard-to-replicate competitive barriers across multiple dimensions, including its product matrix, core technologies, business model and high-quality customer resources. Positioned as a premium core asset in the data track of the large-model era, it is well poised to become the top AI data stock in the Hong Kong stock market.From an industry perspective, competition in the large-model track has formally entered the second half, with the focus shifting away from the models themselves toward AI data infrastructure. A strong industry consensus has emerged that the upper limit of an enterprise’s AI capability is ultimately determined by the quality of its data. Those that possess real-time, structured and scenario-based data processing and application capabilities will be able to establish irreplaceable core competitiveness in the AI era. These structural industry tailwinds are expected to provide solid and sustainable growth momentum for Xunce Technology’s long-term high-quality development.Overall, against the backdrop of widespread pressure across the industry, where investment often outweighs returns, Xunce Technology has delivered results that significantly exceed market expectations, supported by four core strengths: technological leadership, robust product capabilities, diversified expansion and improved operational efficiency. This performance has fundamentally reshaped the capital market’s perception of the Company’s value. Looking ahead, the Company will continue to deepen its focus on the AI data infrastructure track, leveraging technological innovation and the expansion of application scenarios to continuously unlock its growth potential, with substantial long-term development potential.

Hong Kong Completes First Green Methanol Bunkering, Driving Green Transformation of Its International Shipping Hub

acn

HONG KONG, March 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – 5 March 2026, the world’s first methanol dual-fuel roll-on/roll-off vessel, CM HONG KONG, successfully completed its first green methanol bunkering operation in Hong Kong. This also marks China's first green methanol bunkering operation conducted at anchor.This milestone signifies a major breakthrough in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government’s deepened collaboration with enterprises including China Merchants Group (CMG), China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec Group), and China International Marine Containers Group (CIMC). The achievement responds proactively to the “Dual Carbon” goals and advances implementation of Hong Kong’s Action Blueprint for Green Marine Fuel Bunkering, marking a solid step forward in Hong Kong’s development into an international green marine fuel bunkering centre.The bunkering ceremony, themed “RIDING THE TIDE, GREENING THE FUTURE”, was jointly hosted by China Merchants Energy Shipping (CMES), Sinopec (Hong Kong), and CIMC Enric at the Legislative Council Complex. Officiating guests included the Secretary for Transport and Logistics of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Hon Mable CHAN, JP; the Under Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Diane WONG Shuk-han, JP; the Director of Marine, WONG Sai-fat, together with Members of the Legislative Council, the Hon Gary CHAN Hak-kan, SBS, JP; the Hon Judy CHAN Kapui, MH, JP; the Hon Erik YIM Kong, JP; the Hon Aaron BOK Kwok-ming; Dr the Hon Webster NG Kam-wah, JP; Capt the Hon Lothair LAM Ming-fung; and the Hon Tommy CHUNG Ki-fung. Representatives from CMG, Sinopec, and CIMC, along with more than 100 distinguished guests from the shipping, energy, equipment manufacturing, and financial sectors, witnessed the significant moment.During the ceremony, officiating guests jointly launched the bunkering operation. A live screen broadcast the “first injection” of green methanol into CM HONG KONG, while simultaneously displaying the internationally certified green attribute certificate.The vessel completed bunkering via a ship-to-ship (STS) transfer, receiving approximately 500 tonnes of green methanol. According to calculations, this volume is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 85% compared with conventional marine fuels.The green methanol was produced and supplied by CIMC Enric and has obtained ISCC EU certification. The bunkering operation was carried out through Sinopec (Hong Kong)’s professional bunkering service system, and the fuel was ultimately applied by CMES as the shipowner. The operation fully demonstrated a closed-loop green methanol value chain encompassing “production–storage–shipping–bunkering–application”.Pursuant to the Strategic Cooperation Agreement on Jointly Building the Hong Kong Green Methanol Bunkering Centre signed in November 2025, the three parties leveraged their respective core strengths in ocean shipping, oil and gas and green fuel storage-transport-sales, and energy equipment manufacturing. Technical validation, solution optimisation, and emergency preparedness were completed in advance to ensure smooth implementation.To ensure safe and efficient operations, relevant HKSAR Government departments worked in close coordination with participating enterprises. The Transport and Logistics Bureau, Marine Department, Customs and Excise Department, and Immigration Department provided end-to-end support in policy guidance, streamlined approvals, and safety oversight in accordance with the Action Plan on Green Maritime Fuel Bunkering.This inaugural bunkering is not merely a technical demonstration, but a pivotal practice in establishing Hong Kong’s green marine fuel bunkering ecosystem. It verifies both the technical feasibility and commercial operability of green methanol bunkering in Hong Kong, and showcases a “Hong Kong’s Approach” characterised by government-enterprise collaboration, port-shipping synergy, and full industry-chain coordination. This initiative helps attract more green vessels to call at Hong Kong and encourages Hong Kong-registered vessels to increase their usage of green marine fuels, striving to achieve the target of 7% by 2030.The three organizations that collaborated to complete this bunkering operation stated that they would continue to further deepen cooperation, promote the industrialisation, scaling, and regularisation of green methanol supply in Hong Kong, and accelerate the establishment of a comprehensive ecosystem covering production, storage, shipping, bunkering, trading, and financial services. These efforts will support Hong Kong in building a leading green maritime fuel bunkering and trading centre in the Asia-Pacific region, contributing to the national “Dual Carbon” goals, Hong Kong’s carbon neutrality, and the global low-carbon transformation of the shipping industry.PhotosCaption Photo 1Bunkering process of CM HONG KONG Photo 2Bunkering process of CM HONG KONGPhoto 3 Bunkering of the world's first methanol dual-fuel roll-on/roll-off vessel CM HONG KONG in Hong KongPhoto 4Group Photo of All Guests at the Hong Kong’s First Green Methanol Bunkering CeremonyPhoto 5Group Photo of the Kickoff Ceremony at the Hong Kong’s First Green Methanol Bunkering Ceremony Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

CMS (867.HK/8A8.SG): Self-Developed INHBE-Targeting siRNA Drug Received IND Approval for Overweight/Obesity

seaprwire

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Mar 5, 2026 – (ACN Newswire) – China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that self-developed innovative drug INHBE-targeting small nucleic acid drug CMS-D008 injection (“CMS-D008”) received the Drug Clinical Trial Approval Notice issued by National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) on 4 March 2026. The NMPA has approved the conduct of clinical trials of CMS-D008 injection for overweight or obese individuals. About CMS-D008 CMS-D008 is a novel siRNA therapy administered by subcutaneous injection. CMS-D008 targets and reduces the hepatic expression of the inhibin subunit beta E (INHBE) gene and lowers the level of Activin E protein encoded by INHBE, which blocks Activin E-ALK7 signaling and reduces fat accumulation effectively. Preclinical studies suggested that CMS-D008 efficiently and sustainably suppressed INHBE expression. In the diet-induced obesity model, CMS-D008 enhanced weight loss by reducing fat mass while retaining lean mass with a good safety profile. It demonstrates potentially better prospects for high-quality, long-term weight loss that boosts fat-specific loss while preserving muscle mass. In the future, it may be developed for the treatment of overweight/obesity, abdominal obesity, and related metabolic diseases. Fat Loss, muscle preserved: a potentially better therapeutic option for overweight/obesity Overweight or obesity is a chronic, progressive, relapsing disease characterized by excessive accumulation or abnormal distribution or function of body fat[1]. World Obesity Atlas 2025 Report projected that the global proportion of overweight and obese adults will rise to 50%, with nearly 3 billion adults impacted by high body mass index (BMI), and the population of adults who are overweight or obese in China is projected to reach 515 million by 2030[2]. Existing GLP-1RAs have been proven to be effective for the treatment of overweight and obesity. The main actions of GLP-1RAs are to suppress appetite by acting on the central nervous system and to delay gastric emptying[3]. INHBE’s novel mechanism of action differs from GLP-1RAs. INHBE is identified through genome-wide association studies. Populations with loss of function in INHBE are associated with favorable fat distribution and beneficial metabolic characteristics[4]. Targeted inhibition of INHBE might be more conducive for long-term weight management at the genetic level with precisely lower visceral fat and favorable metabolic profiles. CMS-D008 teams up with CMS-D005: highly effective weight loss plus long-term maintenance, building a more comprehensive weight-loss solution CMS-D008 will synergize with CMS-D005, a self-developed innovative drug currently in clinical development. CMS-D008 reduces fat without sacrificing muscle mass by precisely inhibiting INHBE gene expression; while CMS-D005, as a GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonist, can effectively reduce liver fat while losing weight. The synergy between these two drugs will achieve highly effective weight loss benefits and long-term maintenance of results, jointly enhancing the Group’s R&D capabilities and product competitiveness in the field of obesity/metabolic treatment. Furthermore, leveraging the Group’s mature network resources in the field of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, the drug’s R&D and commercialization process will be accelerated, providing patients with more comprehensive and innovative treatment options. The Group is actively preparing to initiate relevant clinical trials and strives to launch the Product as soon as possible. About CMS CMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.
