(八仙塵爆 教訓/經驗) 台灣, 自重! 人重之 !!!!!

八仙塵爆展現高醫療水準!歐盟盛讚,還寫明「TAIWAN」附上國旗 更新: 20160605 【大紀元訊】 去年八仙塵爆造成499名燒燙傷患者,台灣發揮緊急醫療實力,將死亡率降到3%,令國際震驚。歐盟5月邀請台灣出席研討會分享經驗,會場座位席正名「TAIWAN」且附上國旗,表現高規格尊重。據中央社報導,衛福部表示,歐盟下的「人道救援及公民保護總署(Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection)」今年525日至27日邀台灣出席在比利時布魯塞爾舉辦的「處理大規模燒傷患者」研討會,衛福部醫事司長王宗曦、長庚醫院整形外科醫師楊瑞永、台大醫院整形外科主任戴浩志都出席分享台灣八仙塵爆醫療成果。台大醫院整形外科主任戴浩志今天接受媒體電訪時表示,該會議有英國、德國、法國等多達20多個歐洲國家參與,台灣是亞洲唯一出席的國家。戴浩志說,這幾年歐洲多次遭遇恐怖攻擊,不少醫院無法容納100200名傷患,大量重症加上醫療資源不夠完善,應變不及,只好透過專機送到不同國家,死亡率高達2060%反觀台灣去年6月底發生的八仙塵爆時,燒燙傷人數多達499人,嚴重燙傷患者就有超過300人,戴浩志指出,當時政府緊急宣布放寬健保給付,更進口大量大體皮膚、人工敷料,要求醫院盡力救治。至於醫院方面,不僅第一時間就調動加護病房床位,並任醫護人員專職照顧燒燙傷患者,經過各界緊急救治成功將死亡率降到只剩3%,歐洲各國紛紛表示震驚與佩服。

(三軍 查岱龍) GW5074 ( targeting C-Raf ) + sorafenib 強化癌症治療

三總找出抗癌藥新組合 可望治8成癌症 發稿時間:2016/06/02(中央社記者張茗喧台北2日電)癌症用藥新突破,三總團隊研究5年發現,把兩種特定抗癌藥物並用竟能消滅癌細胞,不僅能解決抗藥性問題,劑量只要原本的1/10,更重要的是,對8成癌症都有效。三軍總醫院外科部主任查岱龍2007年帶領研究團隊,耗時5年找出創新藥物組合,包含2種小分子藥物臨床抗癌藥物「Sorafenib」及純化合物「GW5074」,只要原藥物1/10劑量,就能發揮比原先更好的抗癌效果,研究成果已發表於知名癌症研究雜誌「Cancer Research」。查岱龍說,目前治療癌症的標靶藥物多半透過抑制蛋白活性,達到減輕癌症症狀效果,患者服藥初期可能有效,但過了半年到1年,癌細胞就會突變產生抗藥性,不僅原藥物失效、癌症還可能復發得更嚴重。這次新發現的藥物組合,則是改變蛋白結構,服用後可破壞癌細胞粒線體,彷彿「把癌細胞發電機關掉,再用轟炸機轟炸」,直接消滅癌細胞,克服抗藥性難題。研究團隊在小鼠實驗中,將腎臟癌細胞植入小鼠腎臟,並等到癌細胞轉移到全身才開始給藥治療,使用傳統藥物的小鼠46週就全數死亡,而使用組合藥物的小鼠有78成存活,且幾乎康復。查岱龍指出,新藥組合不但副作用少,不易產生抗藥性,對已有抗藥性的患者也有效,而且只需原藥物1/10劑量,是癌症精準醫學的一大突破。更重要的是,多達8成癌症都適用這項藥物組合,針對肺癌、大腸癌、乳癌、黑色素細胞癌效果特別好,三總團隊正著手研究檢測方法,未來患者只要抽血就能知道是否適用這項療法。查岱龍表示,這項組合治療案已成功在台灣及美國專利申請,並逐步在其他國家專利申請中,目前也已技轉生技公司進行動物毒性及臨床一期人體試驗1050602

Novel Cancer Therapeutics with Allosteric Modulation of the Mitochondrial C-Raf–DAPK Complex by Raf Inhibitor Combination Therapy  Cancer Res; 75(17); 3568–82.  2015 AACR. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells. Mitochondrial CRaf is a potential cancer therapeutic target, as it regulates mitochondrial function and is localized to the mitochondria by its Nterminal domain. However, Raf inhibitor monotherapy can induce S338 phosphorylation of C-Raf (pC-RafS338) and impede therapy. This study identified the interaction of C-Raf with S308 phosphorylated DAPK (pDAPKS308), which together became colocalized in the mitochondria to facilitate mitochondrial remodeling. Combined use of the Raf inhibitors sorafenib and GW5074 had synergistic anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo, but targeted mitochondrial function, rather than the canonical Raf signaling pathway. C-Raf depletion in knockout MEFC-Raf /  or siRNA knockdown ACHN renal cancer cells abrogated the cytotoxicity of combination therapy. Crystal structure simulation showed that GW5074 bound to C-Raf and induced a C-Raf conformational change that enhanced sorafenib-binding affinity. In the presence of pDAPKS308, this drug–target interaction compromised the mitochondrial targeting effect of the N-terminal domain of C-Raf, which induced two-hit damages to cancer cells. First, combination therapy facilitated pC-RafS338 and pDAPKS308 translocation from mitochondria to cytoplasm, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Second, ROS facilitated PP2A-mediated dephosphorylation of pDAPKS308 to DAPK. PP2A then dissociated from the C-Raf–DAPK complex and induced profound cancer cell death. Increased pDAPKS308 modification was also observed in renal cancer tissues, which correlated with poor disease-free survival and poor overall survival in renal cancer patients. Besides mediating the anticancer effect, pDAPKS308 may serve as a predictive biomarker for Raf inhibitors combination therapy, suggesting an ideal preclinical model that is worthy of clinical translation.

景澤生技 植物工廠出貨量拚 每月1000公斤躍進17公噸 (11+3工廠建置案)/ 金寶生技 布局深坑 (蔬菜/北蟲草/牛樟)

台灣掀起植物工廠籌設風 大搶「農金財」 20160614 22:14 劉朱松/台中報導 食安風暴之後,台灣已掀起植物工廠籌設風,將大搶農金財。繼金仁寶集團旗下金寶生技等多家科技大廠的植物工廠之後,中部的景澤生技,也已完成旗下台灣11處,及大陸3處的植物工廠建置案。另景澤也剛獲長榮空廚訂單,預計今年再蓋3座大型植物工廠因應。據了解,全球2022年智慧農業市場(含硬體、網路平台及服務)產值,可望由今年的90.2億美元,再增至184.5億美元,年平均複合成長率達13.8%。為推廣植物工廠,財團法人光電科技工業協進會(PIDA)與中華植物工廠協會共同主辦的2016年「植物工廠暨農業設施展」,本月1517日在台北世貿南港展覽館盛大舉辨,預料將掀起植物工廠的商機卡位戰。景澤生技總經理謝惠景證實,剛承接的長榮空廚訂單,主要供應17種蔬菜,今年客戶需求量目標,每個品項平均每月需求量1,000公斤,合計每月達17公噸。為滿足長榮空廚的訂單需求,謝惠景透露,景澤將兵分兩路,增加供應量,一是增加契作的植物工廠數量與種植面積;另將增加自有的植物工廠家數。景澤目前旗下自有的植物工廠,包括西屯展示場、北屯12廠,預計今年再蓋3座大型植物工廠。謝惠景希望公司將以每月增加1,000公斤為目標,預計今年底前,達成每月17公噸的供應量,以保證足額供應長榮空廚的訂單需求。景澤未來將以長榮空廚的檢驗室為範本,在公司自設檢驗室,以確保供貨品質。景澤已在台灣建置的植物工廠,包括台北大安廠、新北市三重廠、桃園青埔廠、新竹芎林廠、新竹湖口廠、台中景澤廠、台中北屯12廠、台中工業區廠、 彰化埔鹽廠,及台南新市廠等地。另景澤正興建植物工廠,還包括桃園南崁廠,及苗栗後龍廠。至於景澤在大陸地區,已完成的植物工廠,包括廈門廠、西安廠,及昆明廠。為搶食植物工廠商機,台灣多家科技大廠也已布局植物工廠建置與推廣。其中,金仁寶集團創立金寶生物科技,並在新北市深坑區建立植物工廠,從事技術開發並量產無毒蔬菜,現在更積極導入高端中草藥作物,如北冬蟲夏草,及牛樟等,以期成為全球首屈一指的植物工廠。欣興電子已成立植物科技事業處,並在桃園縣山鶯路設置植物工廠複合式餐廳;台達電內湖總部的2樓,也有1座小型植物工廠。此外,太極光光電擁有全球首創Hybrid COB LED技術與多國專利30餘項透過專業整廠輸出技術,目前已協助客戶種植的作物,包含有萵苣葉菜類、五穀、中草藥,更與中國農業單位進行合作,且在湖南與經銷商「好自然」成立「湖南旗艦廠」。此外,太極光2廠的擴建案,也將在8月底在台灣亮相。(工商)

 

2016 WHA 期間 台美決定發展 登革熱疫苗 (250 people aged between 50 and 75 years)

US, Taiwan to conduct trials on dengue fever vaccine CNA June 11, 2016, 12:09 am TWNTAIPEI -- Taiwan will cooperate with the United States in conducting clinical trials on a dengue fever vaccine targeting older people, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has said. The trials are expected to involve 250 people aged between 50 and 75 years in Taiwan, CDC Director-General Steve Kuo said. If the trials are successful, the vaccine will be the world's first dengue fever vaccine targeting older people, he said. The vaccine was developed by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the results of clinical trials conducted in America, Brazil, Thailand and Bangladesh indicate that it can provide 80 percent-100 percent protection against four types of dengue virus, the CDC said. Early this year, a third phase of clinical trials was carried out on people between 9 and 45 years old in Brazil, while a first phase was launched on people 50 years or older in the United States, the CDC said. According to Kuo, most older people in Taiwan do not have antibodies against dengue viruses, and if they are infected with the mosquito-borne disease, they tend to develop serious complications. CDC data show that during the last dengue fever season, 90 percent of the patients with serious complications were over 50. During last month's World Health Assembly in Geneva, Taiwan and the U.S. reached an agreement on cooperation to develop a dengue fever vaccine. Two experts from the NIH visited Taiwan June 4, during which they called on Vice President Chen Chien-jen and Health Minister Lin Tzou-yien.
