华建敏:我国老年人口的规模世界第一 老龄化速度世界第一
2012年07月01日09:12 来源:人民网 全国人大常委会副委员长华建敏在研讨会上讲话。人民网记者张启川摄 人民网北京7月1日电 (记者常红 罗旭 刘茸)在今天上午举办的"积极应对人口老龄化战略研讨会"上,全国人大常委会副委员长华建敏指出,积极应对人口老龄化是关系我国社会主义现代化建设全局的一个重大的课题,也是我国的一项长期的战略任务。当前,我国人口老龄化带来的新情况、新问题、新挑战日益突出,对经济社会发展的影响日益深刻,社会各个方面的关注和关切也日益增强,特别是电视节目对人口老龄化和延长退休年龄做的专题讨论也很多,在这样的背景下,召开本次研讨会很有必要、很有意义。 华建敏说,1999年我国进入人口老年型国家的行列,13年以后的今天,我们更加深刻地认识到我国人口老龄化形势的严峻性和复杂性。一是老年人口的规模世界第一。根据第二次全国人口普查,2010年,我国60岁以上老年人已经达到1.78亿,占全球老年人口的23.6%,是全球唯一的老年人口超过一个亿的国家。 二是我国的老龄化速度世界第一。"十二五"时期,我国将迎来第一个老年人口增长高峰,年均增加860万左右,预计到"十二五"期末,全国老年人口将达到2.21亿,占全国总人口的16%,2021年到2035年,我国将出现第二个老年人口增长高峰,年均将增加1100多万,根据联合国公布的数据,2000年,我国老年人口比重与世界平均比重大体相同,均为10%左右。到2010年我国上升了3.3个百分点,而世界平均数则上升了一个百分点。预计未来40年,世界老年人口的比重将上升10.8个百分点,而我国将上升21个百分点,我国老龄化的速度比世界的平均速度要快一倍多。 三是我国解决老龄化问题的难度大。我国是在经济尚不发达的情况下进入老龄化社会,应对老龄问题的经济基础还很薄弱,人口老龄化快速发展,一方面将导致长期以来推动我国经济平稳较快发展的人口红利逐步减少乃至消失;另一方面,将导致社会用于养老方面的支出大幅增加,这对社会再生产带来了直接影响,这个影响一定不会小。如果处理不当就会拖累我国现代化建设的进程,与西方的发达国家相比,短期以内我们所需要解决的问题更多、困难更大。

日本行動銀髮族 砸錢消費不手軟
出生於二次大戰後嬰兒潮的「團塊世代」,是日本經濟高度成長的強力後盾,他們歷經嚴苛的社會競爭,擁有多元價值觀與旺盛行動力,在日本被稱為「行動銀髮族」。統計指出,團塊世代正邁入完全退休年齡,60歲以上人口的消費支出突破百兆圓(約37.2兆台幣),佔日本整體消費的44%,近年來儼然成為日本各業種極力爭取的強勢消費族群。 豐田汽車4月間推出的新型跑車「86」(右上圖,美聯社資料照),初期鎖定年輕客群,價格也因應30歲左右的消費客層,訂於約75萬台幣。沒想到此款跑車推出後,不論是試乘或洽詢的民眾,多半以60多歲的銀髮族為主。2月開放「86」預訂後,短短1個月內的訂車量便突破8000輛,衝破原訂月目標的8倍,50歲以上的訂車者佔其中25%以上。1名年近60的男性職員就表示:「不想再和家人同乘1輛車,想有自己的專屬車輛。」 為全家便利超商開發銀髮族市場的媒體行銷專家殘間里江子分析道:「團塊世代覺得自己比實際年齡年輕10-13歲,最討厭被視為年長者。這些人從小就接受西洋電影或影集等美國文化洗禮,和一般認為上了年紀就會較為保守節制的傳統觀念,大相逕庭。」 此外,日本永旺集團(AEON)也在4月設立全國第1家強化銀髮族需求的大型超市,超市中最特別的是增設全年無休的綜合診所,以及金融諮詢服務,超市員工中有20人具備照護師執照,另有多數員工接受過相關專業講座訓練。 主要經營DVD或CD出租文化事業的CCC集團,則於去年底成立以銀髮族為主要客群的「蔦屋書店」。店內裝潢高雅沉穩,陳列的電影或音樂產品主打經典名片或懷舊音樂,另外還有30名駐店諮詢人員,針對本身便具備一定涵養與學識的銀髮族,提供旅遊、料理或政經等各領域的專業建議。 CCC社長增田宗昭表示:「就日本人口組成看來,繼續追著年輕族群跑,生意也不會隨之成長。『韓流』就是韓國當地有錢有閒的中高年齡女性所創造出的潮流。(日本)接下來的主角,就是60歲以上的男性了。」自由時報0630

微創手術再進化 機器手臂來幫忙
日期:2012.06.29◎ 記者談雍雍/綜合報導 (優活健康網記者談雍雍/綜合報導)醫療科技的發展大幅減少病人對於手術治療的憂慮,尤其外科手術常常伴隨著大範圍的手術傷口,造成病人對於手術的猶豫,因此外科手術從傳統的開腹手術,逐步發展到腹腔鏡微創,再進化到近年的機器手臂手術,引導外科手術從「智慧與勞力密集」產業,轉型成「高科技」輔助產業,在這場運用先進科技與客製化的新局中,台大醫院從最困難的腫瘤、急症到一般手術都可以施行微創手術,在多個領域都有開創性的進展。 機器手臂手術就是用機器手臂取代外科醫師的手,在外科醫師操控下進行手術,機器手臂從病人腹部0.8cm至1.2cm的傷口進入腹腔內,有別於腹腔鏡只有2D視野,機器手臂的3D視野使得原本手術中一些困難角度都更容易進行,且機器手腕可以進行540度旋轉,有利於術中血管傷口的縫合;術後傷口小、復原快,但目前健保不給付。 以國人常見的肝臟疾病為例,肝臟切除手術的困難度在於肝臟血管分佈很多,加上東方人的肝臟腫瘤常合併有肝硬化的問題,手術中的止血很重要,所需要的技術層面較高,因此以微創方式進行肝臟切除手術的發展也較慢,台大醫院從2007年開始建立微創肝臟切除手術技術迄今已完成近百例的案例,包括70例的腹腔鏡肝臟切除手術以及今年新發展的29例機器手臂輔助腹腔鏡微創肝臟切除手術,如果腫瘤在5公分以下且位置較邊緣的話,即可考量以機器手臂輔助微創肝切除手術,目前台大醫院適用微創肝切除手術的病患已由20%提升至40% 。 機器手臂輔助手術是目前最新的手術方式,傷口小,恢復快,而機器手臂穩定性高、不會疲乏,且可做到較傳統腹腔鏡手術更精細的分離、切割及縫合,還可以緩解目前外科醫師不足的問題,希望能更加順利使用機器手臂來進行手術,發揮如虎添翼的效果。
国家4部委出台新政 药企争夺首仿药高毛利
中国营销传播网, 2012-06-30, 作者: 吉昌令, 近日,为支持我国化学仿制药产业的持续发展,国家四部委联合组织发布了《通用名化学药发展专项》。而自2012年6月以来,又有一批仿制药企业陆续拿到FDA的生产批文,专利悬崖的浪潮再次掀起,千亿美元的仿制药市场被瓜分,然而,仅个别中国药企能分得一杯羹。而在中国市场上,中国药企争做首仿,以期赢得市场红利。
无中国药企申报立普妥仿制药近日,四部委联合发布了《通用名化学药发展专项》,期冀中国药企把握全球大量创新药专利到期高峰到来的战略机遇,推动一批通用名化学药生产质量体系与国际接轨,扩大化学药制剂在国际主流市场的份额。在《通用名化学药发展专项》中,四部委特别提出制剂国际化发展能力的建设。即组织实施通用名化学药制剂国际注册和生产质量体系国际认证,构建国际主流市场营销From EMKT.com.cn渠道和网络,促进扩大制剂在国际主流市场,特别是欧美日等发达国家和地区市场的份额。然而,据高华证券研究报告,事实上,全球仿制药厂商主攻成熟市场,即美国、欧盟,而中国医药厂商的仿制药基本都没有通过国外的医药监管机构认证,无法打入海外成熟市场。仿制药须在安全和疗效方面体现与其原研药的生物等效性才能获FDA批准进行量产。2011年,恒瑞药业第一个创新药艾瑞昔布获批,取得中国第一个注射剂ANDA(新药简略申请)。需要指出的是,ANDA只是仿制药品进入美国市场的第一步。一个不得不提的例子便是中国药企缺席立普妥仿制药的FDA认证。2011年11月,医药史上第一个突破千亿美元大关的重磅药之王立普妥(Liptor,通用名:阿托伐他汀)在美国失去了专利保护,它是辉瑞公司研发的降血脂药物。印度药企兰伯西是第一个向FDA提交实质完整ANDA的申请者。该公司于2003年初正式对立普妥发起专利挑战。据外媒报道,华生制药是首个获批推出立普妥仿制药的公司,目前已攫取了39%的市场份额。除了华生制药和兰伯西,仿制药生产商Mylan、Sandoz、Apotex于日前获得监管批准,已准备开始推出各自的仿制药。从本月开始,将有更多的仿制药公司进入市场,推出各自的仿制药。降胆固醇药物市场注定将更加竞争激烈。今年上半年,辉瑞的销售持续大幅下跌。据IMS提供的最新数据,辉瑞立普妥一季度销售额为13.95亿美元,同比下跌42%.而在抢滩立普妥市场的队伍中,并无中国药企的身影。没有中国企业向FDA申报立普妥的仿制药,可说是因为不熟悉美国仿制药注册法规,因企业GMP达不到FDA要求,或因对美国市场缺乏运作经验。国内仿制药企业要想赶在这个时间内做出1~2种像立普妥这种受到国际认可的药,还是比较难的。
中国药企:"首仿"红利大尽管本土企业尚未有能力叫板国际市场,而在国内市场,若获"首仿"资格,高回报也能源源不断。在抗血小板聚集药物中,主力品种属于波立维(Plavix,通用名:氯吡格雷),该药物由赛诺菲安万特开发,1997年在美国上市,是仅次于立普妥的畅销药。因当时国内专利保护意识还不强,SFDA审批了天津药物研究院的氯吡咯雷仿制批文,后来深圳信立泰买下了天津药研院的批文,商品名定为"泰嘉"。而泰嘉是信立泰的主打产品,2009年销售收入为3.6亿,毛利水平高达88.76%.波立维的市场份额由杭州赛诺菲和深圳信立泰公司掌控,杭州赛诺菲的份额为73.31%,深圳信立泰的份额为26.69%,二者形成寡头垄断态势。谈到首仿药,不得不说到 "阿乐"。与信立泰的波立维情况类似,上世纪90年代,嘉林药业(当时称北京红惠制药)开发了立普妥钙片(即"阿乐"),在立普妥获得国内行政保护之前获得生产批文并得以上市。阿乐2000年上市,比立普妥进入中国市场早一年。仅凭它,北京嘉林药业连续5年业绩都以年均超过50%的增幅迅猛发展,销售额从2006年的6000多万飙升到2010年的5亿多元。此外,恒瑞医药是研发多西他赛的国内首仿企业。2005年,恒瑞医药已占据该药接近50%的市场份额,而齐鲁制药的份额还不到20%.公开资料显示,2013年~2015年,恒瑞医药将陆续上市60多个仿制药和创新药。然而,红利止于"首仿"。以波立维为例,我国SFDA目前正在审批的波立维仿制药物有近40家,包括2010年的江苏恒瑞等5家企业、2011年的河南天方、丽珠制药等25家企业,2012年的湖南迪诺、珠海联邦等7家企业分别向SFDA申报仿制药。更多企业进入波立维仿制药的队伍,首当其冲的是面对竞争对手的增多,行业竞争加剧,利润率将会降低.
First wholly Taiwan-owned hospital opens in Shanghai
2012/06/26 23:13:24 Shanghai, June 26 (CNA) A Taiwanese-owned private hospital opened in Shanghai Tuesday to become the first wholly Taiwan-funded hospital in China following the signing of a landmark cross-Taiwan Strait trade deal. The Landseed International Hospital is the first of its kind to be established in China since the signing of the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) in 2010. The Chinese government had previously only allowed foreign companies to set up joint venture hospitals. The hospital targets high-end customers, including Taiwanese businessmen in China, as well as foreigners and deep-pocketed patients living in Shanghai. Chang Huan-chen, executive director of the Taiwan-based Landseed International Medical Group and superintendent of the hospital, said 90 percent of the doctors will be Taiwanese with more than 10 years of residency training. The remaining 10 percent, he added, will come from the United States and various other countries. The doctors will be paid a monthly salary of between 100,000 yuan (US$15,710) and 200,000 yuan, which is more than they could expect to be paid in Taiwan, Chang said. Spending a night at the hospital's VIP room costs 5,888 yuan, according to the hospital's website. The opening was attended by political figures from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, including former Health Minister Yeh Ching-chuan, former opposition Democratic Progressive Party lawmaker Shen Fu-hsiung, former People First Party Vice Chairman Chang Chao-hsiung, and Ye Kedong, a deputy director of the Taiwan Affairs Office under China's State Council. Wei Ying-chiao, chairman of the Ting Hsin International Group, a Taiwanese-owned food manufacturer based in China, also attended. (By Rita Cheng and Ann Chen) ENDITEM/J

燃燒吧!體脂肪
2012-07-01 中國時報 邱俐穎 想瘦不要胖,很多人常透過節食來控制體重,但外表雖瘦,體脂肪卻高得嚇人,成為外瘦內胖的「泡芙女」,專家提醒,要健康減去脂肪,運動絕對少不了,否則只是假性苗條,還恐造成基礎代謝率下降,成為愈減愈胖的體質。台北市聯醫仁愛院區負責推動瘦身課程的護理師李佳容指出,30歲以下女性體脂肪率應介於17至24%,30歲以上女性20至27%才算美肌女,但現行女性光靠節食減肥,往往只減去水分和肌肉,加上運動少,脂肪自然不動如山。要成功減重尤其是減去體脂肪,李佳容說,三餐絕對要按時吃,絕對不要故意少吃一餐讓身體呈飢餓狀態,因身體飢餓的警訊,會造成下一餐吃的營養素更快、更容易被身體吸收攝取,讓吃下去的熱量迅速囤積。另很多女性都透過不吃澱粉來減重,台北馬偕醫院營養師趙強指出,人體在消耗脂肪的過程中,需要澱粉帶入運行,減
重過程中澱粉絕對不可少。李佳容建議,減重時,澱粉不妨改選富含膳食纖維、維生素及礦物質的全穀類,增加飽足感較不易感到飢餓,全穀類膳食纖維進入腸道後會與食用的蔬果纖維結合,可促進腸胃蠕動,更可有效吸附腸道內多餘的油脂。均衡飲食應做到天天3蔬2果,很多人覺得蔬菜量吃不夠可以水果代替,但李佳容說,水果內含有較多糖分,尤其果糖屬單醣類,容易被人體合成為脂肪儲存,反之蔬菜的攝取量較無攝取上限,建議減肥者應多吃蔬菜。此外吃飯時不妨改變進食習慣,放慢用餐速度,先喝湯、再吃菜,最後再吃澱粉與蛋白質,讓食物更好消化,也可讓大腦接收到「我正在吃飯」及「應該差不多要吃飽了」的訊息。減重飲食觀念正確,要真正減去體脂肪,最重要還是要靠運動,趙強指出,身體肌肉量增加,才能提高能量消耗量,減重若不斷減去肌肉,以後更難減去脂肪,更會降低身體的基礎代謝率,成為愈來愈難瘦的體質。趙強提醒,人體至少要運動20分鐘以上才會啟動脂肪燃燒,足夠的運動量可以維持身體的基礎代謝率,且即使休息肌肉組織還可以持續燃燒脂肪。Spending on children's health rising faster than adults over past four years, says report
July 1, 2012 in Health Spending on health care for children grew faster than spending for adults between 2007 and 2010 due to increasing prices for all categories of goods and services, finds a new report from the Health Care Cost Institute (HCCI). This rise in spending occurred despite a decline in number of commercially insured children and a drop in the use of costly health care services, such as hospital stays and brand-name drugs, says the Children's Health Care Spending Report: 2007-2010. This is the first such analysis to track changes in spending, prices, and use of health care services by children covered by private employer-sponsored health insurance. Price increases surpassed changes in the amount of health care children consumed and outstripped general inflation from 2007-2010, according to the report. Outpatient visit prices rose the fastest, increasing 34.4 percent over four years, nearly six times the rate of inflation, which grew 5.2 percent. Per capita spending on children's health care rose to $2,123 in 2010, an 18.6 percent increase from 2007. Spending on health care for infants and toddlers was disproportionately high. Although children under 3 years comprised 17 percent of the covered child population, 31.4 percent of the total children's health care dollars was spent on them in 2010. Per capita spending for this age group reached $3,896 in 2010. At the same time, teenagers had the highest rate of per capita spending growth, rising 22.3 percent between 2007-2010, with more money going toward prescription drugs and outpatient care. Utilization of mental health and substance abuse services by children rose nearly 24 percent over the four year period. Use of these services grew the most for children age 9-18. In addition, use of central nervous system drugs, such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and drugs used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, jumped more than 10 percent. Use of central nervous system drugs among teenagers was highest, with prescriptions exceeding 1 per insured child aged 14-18 in 2010. "Children tend to use less expensive health care, so a bump in children's health care spending is troubling because it could indicate that kids are getting sicker or receiving unnecessary tests or excess procedures," says HCCI Governing Board Chairman Martin Gaynor, PhD, Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Carnegie-Mellon University. "The data on spending for mental health and substance abuse services is particularly worrying. We need to look further into why there is such a high use of prescription drugs for mental health problems among children and whether this expenditure is yielding valuable health outcomes." "HCCI's Children's Health Care Spending Report 2007-2010 is based on one of the largest collections of private health insurance claims data ever assembled and provides unprecedented insight into health care spending trends of children who are covered by their parents' or guardians' employer-based health insurance. Employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) is the largest single source of coverage for children in the United States. According to the report, insurers and consumers spent nearly $88 billion on health care for children in 2010, up nearly 12 percent from 2007. Spending rose even though the number of children covered by ESI declined 5.7 percent from nearly 44 million in 2007 to 41.4 million in 2010. Most Money Spent on Professional Services In 2010, the bulk of children's health care dollars (40.3%) was spent on professional procedures such as primary care office visits, immunizations and preventive care, a trend that was consistent across the four-year period. On average, $855 was spent on professional services per child, a 16.5 percent increase from 2007. High rates of use helped make professional procedures the largest area of health care spending for children but price increases pushed up how much money was spent. On average, children experienced over 10 professional procedures in 2010, a 6.7 percent increase from 2007. Still, price increases for office visits, preventive care, and other services outpaced this growth, rising 9.2 percent over the four-year period. Consumers also paid more out-of-pocket for professional procedures, which accounted for almost half of all out-of-pocket spending. For professional procedures, co-pays, deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs averaged $182 per child in 2010, an increase of 7.1 percent from 2009. Exceptional Price Growth for Outpatient Care, ER Visits Facility charges for outpatient visits increased, growing at more than twice the rate of inpatient admission facility charges. Emergency departments were an increasingly expensive place for care, with the average facility fee for an emergency room visit increasing 35 percent over 2007-2010 from $684 to $923. Additional Report Highlights: West Spends Less Than Northeast: The growth in per capita spending on children varied considerably across the country but the gap was most notable between the West and Northeast. Between 2007 and 2010 spending grew over 25 percent in the Northeast, compared to just 14.8 percent in the West. In 2007, per capita spending for children in the West was $105 less than in the Northeast. By 2010 that difference had increased to $311. Cost-Sharing Rises: Consumers shouldered slightly more of the cost of children's health care in 2010. Consumers picked up 17.5 percent of all health care costs in 2010—higher than the cost-sharing rate for the overall population (16.2%). Out-of-pocket costs rose by 6.8 percent, to an average of $371 per child from 2009-2010. Out-of-pocket spending was highest for children under 4 years ($491 in 2010), yet grew fastest for teens, increasing 8.8 percent from 2009 to 2010 to $433. Increase in Prescription Drugs: While prescription drug use declined 1.6 percent overall compared to 2007, the fastest growing prescription drugs used by children were cardiovascular drugs, which grew 24.8 percent; hormones, which grew 20.8 percent; and central nervous system drugs, which grew 10.4 percent. The rate of use of central nervous system drugs among teens ages 14-18 was nearly double that of children overall ( 1,191 per 1,000 insured children versus 692 per 1,000 insured children). "We hope this report gives researchers and others a much clearer picture about why health care spending for children has risen so quickly," says HCCI Executive Director David Newman. "While we now know prices are the underlying cause, further research on services with high expenditures and high growth in prices is needed for us to understand what is driving these price increases." About the Data Findings are based on de-identified Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant data sets from three billion health insurance claims provided by Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare, three of the nation's largest health plans. Future reports from HCCI will include data from Kaiser Permanente. It does not report on premiums or their determinants. Provided by Burness Communications

神隆將斥資11億興建針劑廠,2014年完工
2012/06/29 18:34 精實新聞 2012-06-29 18:34:25 記者 蕭燕翔 報導 原料藥大廠神隆(1789)29日董事會通過,將斥資11億元(約美金3,760萬元)興建針劑廠計劃,新廠預計今年下半年開始設計建造,2014年完工。 神隆總經理馬海怡表示,該公司一向專精於抗癌高活性及高技術門檻的原料藥開發製造,目前擁有癌症針劑原料的產品種類也居全球之冠,現今跨足下游針劑製劑領域,將提供客戶由原料藥垂直整合至針劑製劑產品的一次購足服務,更加鞏固並擴展既有的原料藥業務,提升長期競爭優勢。 馬海怡指出,目前大多數的癌症原料藥客戶都缺乏生產針劑製劑的能力,需透過專業癌症針劑廠提供代工服務,而目前符合國際GMP水準的癌症代工針劑藥廠產能也嚴重缺乏。 此外,現有許多歐美針劑廠無法通過全球日趨嚴格的GMP法規要求,並已被FDA出示警告函,限期改善,甚至被要求停產,也讓全球癌症針劑產能供不應求情況更趨嚴重,在強烈的市場需求下,不少國際藥廠高度期待神隆能向下垂直整合發展。 神隆指出,該針劑廠廠房預定地在目前台南科學園區的廠區內,全廠包括研發、品管、清洗、消毒、製造、填充、凍乾、包裝及倉儲等區域。廠房內除了一條高活性癌症針劑生產線,製造各式樣的針劑成品包括液體瓶裝針劑、凍乾粉瓶裝針劑外,另於單獨隔離空間內將設立一條非抗癌針劑預充填注射針劑生產線。 該公司表示,所有廠房及設備均符合無菌標準及具有生產高活性癌症產品的隔離設備,是一座符合國際GMP水準的癌症針劑廠,並預留未來擴產所需的空間。 神隆指出,跨足癌症針劑製劑的業務,將以不與客戶衝突、但提供客戶加值服務為原則,除為目前原料藥客戶代工生產癌症針劑外,亦可自行開發、註冊並生產針劑後再售予客戶,提供國際藥廠所需的專業配套服務。該廠預計2012年下半年進行設計建造工程,2014年完工。
特殊醫材收費亂 擬訂上限
【中央社╱台北29日電】 2012.06.29 09:15 pm 同款人工髖關節,不同醫院價差高達6倍,行政院衛生署全民健康保險監理委員質疑收費亂無章法,中央健保局表示,二代健保上路後,將會訂出自費醫材的費用上限。 健保監理委員會今天開會,特殊醫材的自費價差是討論議題之一。健保監理委員、全民監督健保聯盟發言人滕西華要求,健保局應依二代健保的全民健康保險法第45條規定,儘速訂定民眾自費上限。 滕西華引用相關資料顯示,特殊醫材要民眾自掏腰包屢見不鮮,以民國98年為例,估計達5萬餘人次、自掏腰包超過新台幣20億元;然而價差混亂,同款人工髖關節,各院的價格從2萬元到12萬元不等,心臟血管支架3萬元到6萬元。 健保局共核定心臟血管支架、人工水晶體、心臟節律器、人工關節、義肢等5項特殊醫材,健保只給付基本金額,特殊醫材費用超過基本金額的部分,由民眾自行負擔,各醫院自訂價差的收費標準,公布於健保局官網。 健保局醫審及藥材組組長沈茂庭認為,健保局100年特殊醫材的給付金額為7.5億元,推估民眾自費金額應該是7億餘元,而非20億元;不過,同款特殊醫材卻有1倍以上的價差,確實不合理。 沈茂庭強調,二代健保上路之後,健保局將考慮特殊醫材項目,訂定民眾自費上限。 【2012/06/29 中央社】
生物医药产业园如火如荼
近年来,在国家产业政策的大力扶持下,国内生物医药产业园数量呈井喷之势。5月30日,《"十二五"国家战略性新兴产业发展规划》在国务院常务会议上讨论通过。业内普遍认为,这是国家层面对生物医药产业发展高度重视的体现,将使承载医药创新发展希望的生物医药产业园普遍受益。然而,目前产业园在全国范围的发展现状并不十分乐观,一些园区缺乏特色,没有长远有效的发展规划、企业引进园区后服务不到位,尚缺乏打造完整产业链上的整体思路,桎梏着生物产业园发展的步伐。业内人士认为,生物医药产业园区需要找到自己的定位,形成特色,并为园区企业提供创新服务是当前亟待解决的问题。
园区风云再起近年来生物医药产业园区的"建园运动"可谓如火如荼。目前国家级生物医药产业园区数量众多,如东北地区的呼和浩特医药产业基地,华北地区的北京中关村生命科学园、石家庄国家生物产业基地,华东地区的苏州生物纳米科技园,华中地区的武汉国家生物产业基地,华南地区的广州国际生物岛,西南地区的重庆国家生物产业基地等。各省(市)生物医药产业基地更是不胜枚举。从中央到地方的政策支持,使得国内不少生物医药产业园区都得到了较好的发展。例如苏州生物纳米科技园,建园至今不到5年,2011年园区药企的销售额已突破20亿元,是2010年的近3倍。园内企业申请专利数累计达1408项,其中发明专利项达到1137项,获批专利授权200项。
引进只是开始并非所有园区的发展都一帆风顺。业内专家认为,目前国内部分生物医药产业园区后继乏力,主要是由于园区的定位没有形成特色,对于长远发展也没有进行有效规划。一位园区内企业的负责人表示,有的园区得到了优惠政策,把企业招进来就了事,后续服务不到位。"园区刚开始有政府的政策和资金支持,但最终要获得健康、持续的发展必须得靠园区自身。"苏州生物纳米科技园董事长兼总经理刘毓文表示,园区在吸纳企业时应适当考虑发展的周期性,有一些企业在短期内可以形成产出,例如医疗器械企业,还有一些药物创新型企业需要在较长时期内才能产生效益,这些企业虽然形成产出的时间慢,但对推动医药创新至关重要,一旦产出,效益必将是巨大的。"目前,在医药产业园的建设过程中,重复、雷同的情况十分严重,对企业的吸引力严重下降。"北京一位资深医药行业分析师表示。苏州生物纳米科技园的做法有可借鉴之处,"将纳米技术作为园区的特色之一,主要是因为目前纳米技术用在已上市的药品并不多,还处在初步阶段,国内的企业在这方面并不落后。"刘毓文表示,"园区还扶持了一批创新型小公司,目前有60多家新药研发公司,引进中央'千人计划'专家19人。"创新服务是推动入驻企业发展的重要因素,入驻园区的创新型企业的负责人大多是归国的高端人才,应尽快形成"人才服务人才"的理念,为园区企业提供政策导向、产业分析报告;寻找上下游供应链上的合作伙伴,搭建合作平台;寻求风险投资,为企业搭建融资平台,提供力所能及的帮助等。中投顾问医药行业研究员郭凡礼认为,生物医药产业园在如何依托以"孵化创新、专业服务、产业群体、风险投资"4个模块组成的产业体系和"人才培养—技术开发—规模生产—营销物流"的创新体系,打造出一条完整产业链上也存在一些问题。如何打通并连接产业链上研究与开发、生产、流通与交易以及诊疗服务等各环节,是生物医药产业园区发展道路上亟待解决的难题。Stem Cell Treatment | Founder Of XCell Stem Cell Clinic Accused Of Stealing To Fund Lavish Lifestyle
Friday, June 1st, 2012But Dr Kleinbloesem faces a new scandal, this time financial. He is accused of using patients' funds and investors' money to finance his lifestyle. Lawyers acting for investors are accusing Dr Kleinbloesem of "misappropriating monies from XCell on a grand scale". It is also alleged, in proceedings begun in a German court, that Dr Kleinbloesem was given £200,000 to set up a charity to help poorer patients receive treatment free at XCell but that the foundation was never actually established. Dr Kleinbloesem vehemently denies the claims. When the XCell-Center closed last year, auditors discovered that it had no almost no money left in its accounts. It is now in the middle of bankruptcy proceedings. Patients who had handed over deposits for stem cell therapies that never took place are unlikely to get their money back, and investors who put in about £10 million believing that Dr Kleinbloesem was presiding over a pioneering treatment have also lost out. The Sunday Telegraph has obtained bank details which show a payment of $500,000 (£320,000) from XCell's bank account to a Turkish man for what insiders claim is the purchase of a yacht. Photographs of the six-berth boat, moored in the Mediterranean, appear to show Dr Kleinbloesem relaxing on board. Similar yachts are typically available for hire at about £20,000 a week. Dr Daniel Kautenburger-Behr, a lawyer acting for one of the investors, said in a statement to The Sunday Telegraph: "Our client and the other investors dissociate themselves from the methods of treatment and the tragic course of events at XCell-Center. "The state of affairs at XCell was not known to them because, as director, Mr Kleinbloesem successfully concealed these circumstances. In our opinion he also did this in order to cover up embezzlement at the firm's expense. To our knowledge, Mr Kleinbloesem has misappropriated monies from XCell on a grand scale. To our knowledge, Mr Kleinbloesem purchased, among other things, a yacht in Turkey using nearly 400,000 of the firm's funds." The investors are also undertaking legal action over claims that £200,000 they put into a foundation to give free treatment to poorer patients has also gone missing. Dr Kleinbloesem, who lives outside Dsseldorf in a villa worth several million pounds, has responded angrily to the series of allegations made against him. In an email to The Sunday Telegraph, the Dutch-born scientist denied any wrongdoing and blamed others for XCell's closure. He wrote: "For each financial transaction of the company to me or others there was a contractual basis. So under no circumstances money was embezzled. "I did not spend any money from XCell for private means, including a yacht. In addition, all yearly accounts were presented in a transparent way, with individual listings of transactions, and were consequently approved by all shareholders." He said the failure to return patients' deposits after XCell went into receivership was both "unforgivable and immoral" but insisted that he could not be blamed, since by that stage he had been removed from his post. He added: "As a consequence of these false claims and accusations my lawyer has filed criminal charges against all those people announcing those false claims and additional corresponding civil claims were submitted." Dr Kautenburger-Behr said shareholders had not seen or signed off individual transactions and said investors had not received any correspondence detailing criminal charges filed by Dr Kleinbloesem. Investors also insist that Dr Kleinbloesem continued to take deposits from patients after it became evident there was no longer any money in the company to carry out procedures. The collapse of XCell followed an undercover investigation by this newspaper in October 2010 during which one of the clinic's doctors told a reporter, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair, that he could walk again if he paid about £20,000 for treatment. In fact, there is no evidence that XCell's methods actually work, not least because it seemingly never submitted any of its results for independent audit. Since opening in 2006, XCell, which operated from state-of-the-art facilities in a hospital overlooking the Rhine, treated more than 3,000 patients, charging them between £10,000 and £30,000. When The Sunday Telegraph visited Dr Kleinbloesem's home, neither he nor his wife, who also worked at the clinic, would answer the door. Two cars sat in the drive: a £60,000 Porsche Cayenne with Swiss number plates, which is driven by Dr Kleinbloesem, and a £50,000 BMW. Dr Kleinbloesem faces a series of legal actions while police investigate the death of a two-year-old boy who travelled to XCell from Italy for treatment. The boy died from a haemorrhage having gone for treatment in which stem cells were extracted from his bone marrow, processed at an outside laboratory and injected into his brain. By reopening his business in Beirut, Dr Kleinbloesem circumvented the European laws that effectively forced XCell's closure. His new operation, Cells4Health, was using a company based on the outskirts of London to process the stem cells before returning them to Lebanon for injection into patients. It is understood the company has pulled out of the deal. Cells4Health, like XCell before it, offers a possible cure to patients suffering illnesses such as heart disease, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's and autism. In an email to XCell's former patients – which was also sent to an American woman who died from a brain infection following treatment in Dsseldorf – Dr Kleinbloesem blamed the centre's closure on the medical establishment's "resistance" to stem cell treatments for "economic reasons". He added: "Their lobby is very strong, making it almost impossible to provide stem cell therapy in US and Europe. This, however, has not withheld us to look for alternatives around the globe. Today we are proud to announce that we have established a stem cell treatment centre in Lebanon."
國產單抗產業商機無限 百家企業欲過獨木橋
鉅亨網新聞中心 (來源:財匯資訊,摘自:證券時報) 2012-06-30 04:26:06 忽如一夜春風來,在國外重磅單抗藥物專利保護期即將過去之際,中國抗體藥物市場正日益受到相關企業和機構的青睞,國內抗體藥物龍頭企業中信國健則正處於IPO審核階段。同時,僅6月份京滬兩地就召開了三次抗體方面的行業會議,業內人士稱之為"千軍萬馬過獨木橋"。 與之相應,單抗產業的發展路徑是創新還是仿制,如何在量與價之間進行權衡,也成為業內人士關注的焦點。
單抗產業行將井噴 "2004年的時候大家都在說抗體,到了2012年大家已經都在做抗體了。"一位從海外回來的抗體藥物企業家近期在北京召開的第二屆抗體高峰會議上如是說。 國內抗體藥物研發和產業化方面的一位權威人士指出,抗體藥物不僅有巨大的市場和需求,在今后的若干年也將是朝陽產業。 "由於重磅炸彈藥物專利即將過期,新技術不斷涌現,原來令大多數廠家望而卻步的治療性單克隆抗體仿制藥行業,現在似乎變得唾手可得。所以現在全世界都想進入這個領域,甚至連做半導體的韓國三星集團也已經開始做抗體藥物。"嘉和生物首席執行官周新華對證券時報記者表示。據抗體藥物國家工程研究中心的李晶介紹,全球抗體藥物市場已經從1997年的3.1億美元增長到2009年的約440億美元,增長達100多倍,近13年來的復合增長率高達51.13%;抗體藥物在全球生物制藥中所占份額也從2000年的10.5%擴張到2009年的56.41%,成為生物制藥行業中占比最大的子行業。 業內人士預計,到2014年,全球前六大暢銷藥物將均為生物技術藥物,而全球十大暢銷藥物中將有7個是生物技術藥物,其中6個為重組抗體類藥物。 周新華介紹,治療性單克隆抗體藥物在現代制藥行業可以說是獨占鰲頭,目前多個抗體藥的單品種全球年銷售額可以達到50~60億美元,好的話甚至可能達到70~80億美元,其中一種藥物2016年的銷售收入預計將超過100億美元。 如此誘人的市場前景自然讓不少企業怦然心動。目前,海正藥業、復星醫藥、一致藥業、華蘭生物、沃森生物等上市公司都在進入抗體藥物領域,石藥集團、神威藥業等非上市醫藥公司同樣也在介入。
創新還是仿制 不過,在周新華看來,盡管目前中國的資金實力比以前強多了,但在真正的創新藥物開發方面離國際水平還有相當大的差距。僅從資金投入來看,中國"十二五"規劃中全部5年對生物醫藥投入的研發資金還不如瑞士羅氏公司一年研發資金的投入多。而且,在目前的新藥研發模式下,開發新藥的成本越來越高,成功率卻越來越低。 周新華認為,從長遠而言,國家支持的生物創新藥開發對中國確實非常重要,但在目前的行業發展階段其成功率并不高,主要原因是國家和企業的資金投入仍不夠,且在時間和行業技術能力積累上也還不夠。 據記者了解,從一般的行業規律看,生物創新藥從研發到投入生產大概需要15~17年的時間,而Biobetter產品(對原研生物制品的改進)大概需要10~12年時間,生物仿制藥則為5~7年的時間。 "從政府和投資人的資金投入力度和耐心來看,目前階段只做抗體創新藥開發的成功概率不大。通常做生物創新藥開發的成功率最多10%,而做生物仿制藥開發的成功率可以達到90%。開發仿制藥最大的挑戰是市場競爭,而開發創新藥最大的挑戰是開發過程中其成藥性的成功率。" 有鑒於此,周新華認為,目前階段中國企業最為現實可行的途徑是先專注做好抗體仿制藥的開發與產業化,并同步布局Biobetter產品開發,此后再逐步過渡到原創性的創新藥開發。 中信產業基金的一位醫藥投資人也表示,從產業的發展戰略看,中國單抗產業和互聯網比較相似,奉行跟隨戰略比較合適。 一位券商醫藥行業分析師對記者強調,相對於化學仿制藥,生物仿制藥特別是單抗等高端生物仿制藥的技術及投資門檻更高,其對企業的經驗、技術實力、投入力度要求較高,因而利潤率也高於一般的化學仿制藥。 因此,盡管中國抗體產業正面臨難得的發展機遇,其市場形勢也呈現"千軍萬馬過獨木橋"的狀況,但周新華對未來有多少企業可以真正抓住抗體藥物的發展機遇并不樂觀"由於涉及的技術復雜、各種關鍵要素的要求很高、投資門檻高,估計最終沒幾家能過。"他說。 記者從相關抗體產業與會人士處獲悉,目前國內有100多家企業打算進入抗體藥物產業,但真正能進入研發階段的約30~40家,而最終能有產品上市的也就6~7家。
量價權衡 國際單抗市場潛力驚人。 "中國單抗藥物的市場份額偏低,具有比國際市場更高的市場潛力。2007年全球單抗已占整個生物技術藥物市場份額的34.4%,中國則只有1.7%,遠低於全球平均水平。以抗腫瘤單抗為例,國際上單抗在抗腫瘤藥物市場中已經位列榜首,占據了34%的市場份額,而國內單抗在抗腫瘤藥物市場中僅占4.8%的份額。"國金證券的一份單抗產業報告如是描述中國單抗市場的潛力。 不過,盡管單抗藥物靶向性強、副作用小、療效明確,在國外獲得較好的發展,但在目前主要由外資醫藥企業主導的國內單抗藥物市場,卻由於產品價格高昂而使需求受到抑制。 以外資單抗藥品修美樂為例,該藥品一針為7900元,每兩周注射一針,其療程一般為6~12月,一個療程下來就大概需要10~19萬元,這種貴族藥顯然不是一般人可以用得起的,從而也就抑制了中國國內市場的需求。 轉機在進入省級醫保乃至國家醫保。據上述券商醫藥行業分析師介紹,2009年醫保調整之后,共有8個單抗藥物進入多個省的醫保,其中國內龍頭企業中信國健的單抗藥品益賽普已進入7個省的醫保。另一方面,在跨國醫藥巨頭的積極爭取下,目前也有多個進口單抗藥品進入地方醫保,而且去年以來中國的外企聯盟還在進一步和國家醫保進行降價方面的談判,看能否進入國家醫保。據悉,去年默沙東的相關產品價格降低50%后,其銷量上升了50%。 在此背景下,該分析師認為,中國單抗藥品的天量市場有望逐步打開,而正在上市審核過程中的中信國健有望成為中國單抗藥品第一個黃金5年的受益者。 不過,業內人士有種擔憂,即未來抗體藥物市場是否會面臨價格戰,而為進入醫保降價后的產品價格是否可以保持該產品有足夠的盈利空間。 對此,前述業內權威人士表示,中國的抗體藥物價格一定會降下來,需求量也隨之會上去。他同時強調,盡管進入醫保后抗體藥物價格會下降,但可以肯定的是,該產品還是可以賺錢,不必擔心虧損的問題。 華神集團副總經理萬方則認為,10年之內中國抗體藥物產業還不會面臨低價格的競爭狀態。 鏈接 單抗——免疫學上的重大革命 1975年分子生物學家G.J.F.克勒和C.米爾斯首次利用B淋巴細胞雜交瘤技術制備出單克隆抗體,并因此獲得1984年諾貝爾獎。該技術將可以分泌單一抗體的淋巴細胞與可以無限增殖的骨髓瘤細胞融合,獲兼具兩種細胞特性的雜交細胞。這種細胞可以大量增殖并產生純一的抗體,即單克隆抗體。單性和均一抗具有高度特異性,為人類疾病的診斷和治療提供了新的手段,這一技術被譽為免疫學上的一次重大革命。 單克隆抗體可直接用於人類疾病的診斷、預防、治療以及免疫機制的研究,為人類惡性腫瘤的免疫診斷與免疫治療開辟了廣闊前景。現階段醫學上在診斷領域使用鼠源性單抗,在治療領域使用嵌入式單抗或人源化單抗。
Are Cancer Drugs Improving? Lung cancer adenocarcinoma treatment with Tomtovok improves progression free survival
Reviewed By: Joseph V. Madia, MD By: Travis Giddings Published: Jun 30, 2012 07:04 pm The enormous number of drugs available at the pharmacy begins to make sense when you realize that a lot of these drugs are related. Some scientists feel that despite these offerings, there's always room for improvement. Pharmaceutical researchers constantly tinker with the previous model to fix flaws and improve how well the drug works. A recent presentation on Tomtovok (afatinib) concluded that the second generation of this drug for lung cancer is nearly ready for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Ask your doctor about drug trials available to you. This phase III study was the largest so far on Tomtovok. It involved 345 patients with lung cancer with a specific mutation for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Patients were randomly assigned to receive either Tomtovok or treatment with the current proven standard, a combination of Alimta (pemetrexed) and Platin (cisplatin). The patients who took Tomtovok had an average period of 11 months before their cancer began to grow again (progression-free survival), while patients on the current standard treatment averaged 7 months. Some patients with common mutations in the EGFR receptor, the Del19 and L858R mutations, had a higher average of 13.6 months before the cancer began to grow again. Researchers noted that the Tomtovok patients were given 16 cycles on average, while patients given combination therapy only had an average of six cycles. This difference may have skewed the results. The first two drugs to target the EGFR receptor were Iressa (gefitinib) and Tarceva (erlotinib). The ability to target EGFR is important in the type of lung cancer referred to as adenocarcinoma. The first of its kind, Iressa, is no longer available due to the FDA withdrawing approval in 2005. While Tarceva is effective in treating cancers initially, most tumors become resistant to further treatment after a year. Previous research on Tomtovok showed that while treatment with the drug meant more time before the cancer began to grow again, it did not increase the overall survival time for patients in the study when compared to other drugs. This may be the reason why the study reported only the statistics for progression-free survival rather than the more commonly used overall survival numbers. In contrast to other lung cancers, adenocarcinomas with the EGFR mutation mentioned in this study are more common in people who have never smoked tobacco. The action of Tomtovok is related to the EGFR molecular pathway, and it also blocks two receptors called HER-2 and HER-4. Since both of those receptors are involved in breast cancer development, the drug's developer Boehringer Ingelheim also has a phase II drug trial evaluating the drug for that use as well. Mild side effects were very common during the drug trial, with all patients taking Tomtovok experiencing episodes of diarrhea, rash, skin inflammation, nausea or loss of appetite. Cancer treatment is no picnic, and the lead author, James Chih-Hsin Yang, MD, PhD and professor at the National Taiwan University, said a few words about the side effects during his presentation. "Patients treated with afatinib had better lung cancer symptom control, such as diminished cough, dyspnea, and chest pain," Dr. Yang said. "Those patients also reported that their daily lives, for example at work and performing household activities, were better with afatinib compared with [the reports from] patients in the chemotherapy group." Researchers involved with the study had financial ties to Amgen, AstraZeneca, AVEO, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celgene, Clovis, Daiichi Sankyo, Lilly, Merck Serono, Merrimack Pharmaceuticals and Taiho Pharmaceutical.

(中央社記者陳清芳台北29日電)生醫業者與專家今天盼望,生技新藥產業發展條例獎勵適用對象再放寬,將第二等級高階醫材納入適用。多位藍綠立委善意回應,希望促成立法院在9月新會期討論修法。 國家生技醫療產業策進會與生策中心今天舉辦「台灣生技醫療產業政策總體檢論壇」檢討法規面,與會專家指出,生技製藥需經5到10年研發,資本風險較高,期盼政府放寬生技新藥產業發展條例的適用對象,讓廠商資金能夠撐過研發階段的資金關口。 業界代表與專家學者表示,生技新藥條例僅有植入、置入人體內的第三等級醫療器材可適用,然而國內第三等級醫療器材僅占市場7%,至於占高達49%的第二等級醫療器材未納入獎勵適用範圍。 與會立法委員黃昭順、廖國棟、田秋堇、林世嘉等人,對此法案表示關切,希望新會期討論修法,放寬生技新藥獎勵條件。1010629
广东新大地——为国人提供优质食用茶油
2012-06-28 09:39:06茶油,是油茶籽经压榨得到的优质食用植物油,是油茶的主产品。它具有优质食用油的功能特性,不饱和脂肪酸含量高达94%,油酸达80%~83%,亚油酸达7%~13%,并富含蛋白质和维生素等,尤其是它还含有丰富的人体必需而又不能合成的亚麻酸。茶油的各项营养成分均优于橄榄油,远高于菜籽油和花生油。长期食用茶油对于高血压、心脏病、动脉硬化、高血脂等心脑血管疾病患者,具有很好的医疗保健作用。联合国粮农组织已将茶油作为重点推广的健康型高级食用植物油。
茶油除食用外,通过深加工后可用于制造高档化妆品和保健品,其经济价值十分可观。据了解,目前我国的油茶市场不是很成熟,根据国家林业局的统计数据,具有精炼能力的企业只有 200 家左右,反映出我国茶油加工企业生产规模小、精炼能力严重不足的特点。从茶油加工企业的构成来看,大部分茶油加工企业还停留在作坊式加工阶段,具备先进生产工艺、大规模生产能力和资源综合利用能力的企业严重不足,与我国积极推动油茶产业发展的整体战略不相匹配,已成为目前制约我国油茶产业快速发展的瓶颈之一。因此,茶油加工业急需培育出一批具有大规模生产能力、先进茶油初加工和精炼工艺和高效资源综合利用能力的现代化油茶加工企业。
千百年来,茶油一直被中国南方视为山珍贡品,素有"油王"之美誉。科学研究发现,富含维生素E、山茶苷、生物活性成分角鲨烯,具有减肥、润肺、消肿、美容、降血压和胆固醇之功效,对预防冠心病、脑血栓、血管硬化、高血压等疾病有独特的效果。山茶油的单不饱和脂肪酸、多不饱和脂肪酸及饱和脂肪酸的比例达到了80:6:14,与橄榄油不相上下,而脂肪酸、不饱和脂肪酸含量达85%—95%,则高于橄榄油,居植物油之冠。加之处于自然生长状态的油茶籽,远离城市"三废"污染源,故从其种子榨取的油称得上是真正的健康食用油。因此有专家表示,用山茶籽精制而成的食用油将成为21世纪中国乃至全世界首选的绿色健康油。作为高端食用油,茶油在中国已有数千年食用历史,也是我国特有的高档民族品牌食用油脂,其不饱和脂肪酸高达90%以上,其中油酸含量高达80%以上,加上茶油的碘价低、油脂稳定性强、不易氧化变质等特点,被誉为"东方橄榄油"。随着老百姓食品安全和健康意识的提高,茶油开始进入广大消费者的视野,走上老百姓的餐桌。广东新大地是一家致力于油茶产业化的现代农业企业,主营业务为良种油茶苗的培育与推广及油茶精深加工系列产品的研发、生产和销售,涵盖了油茶全产业链的上、中、下游。行业内外口碑响当当。茶油的主要脂肪酸成分是油酸,其含量可达 83%左右,它极易被人体吸收,可与国外价格昂贵的橄榄油脂媲美,故被盛赞为"东方橄榄油"。日本人称之为"长寿油"。茶油煮汤口感纯正,炒菜光泽度好,凉拌色拉无异味,煎炸食品香脆,是当今具有较强食疗效果的食用油之一。茶油具有较高含量的天然抗氧化成分维生素 E、维生素 D,能有效的补充人体所需的营养,清除有害成分,延缓细胞老化,保持细胞活力。加之低亚麻酸含量,使得茶油稳定性好,易贮存,不易酸败变质。茶油是稀有的木本植物油,比花生油、大豆油等草本植物油有更高的不饱和脂肪酸含量(茶油的不饱和脂肪酸含量高达90%),食用后容易被人体吸收,同时还能促进人体对脂溶性纤维及钙、铁、锌等微量元素的吸收。含量丰富的不饱和脂肪酸能使血液中胆固醇的浓度降低,这样可以防止动脉硬化,抑制和预防冠心病、高血压等心脑血管疾病。茶油不含可引起人体致癌的黄曲霉素,长期食用对高血压、心脏病等疾病有一定的预防作用,特别适合中老年人食用。根据美国国家医药中心实验证实:茶油对降低胆固醇和抗癌有一定的功效,在国际上被称"长寿油"。 不饱和脂肪酸有"美容酸"之称,而茶油的不饱和脂肪酸含量是目前食用油中含量最高的。医学证明:每天摄入足够的不饱和脂肪酸对润泽皮肤和乌黑头发有重要的作用。 种子含油30%以上,供食用及润发、调药,可制蜡烛和肥皂,也可作机油的代用品。 油茶与油棕、油橄榄和椰子并称为世界四大木本食用油料植物。茶油的不饱和脂肪酸含量高达 90%,远远高于菜油、花生油和豆油,与橄榄油比维生素 E 含量高一倍,并含有山茶甙等特定生理活性物质,具有极高的营养价值。茶具有很高的综合利用价值,茶籽粕中含有茶皂素、茶籽多糖、茶籽蛋白等,它们都是化工、轻工、食品、饲料工业产品等的原料,茶籽壳还可制成糠醛、活性炭等 ,茶壳还是一种良好的食用菌培养基。研究表明,油茶皂素还有抑菌 和抗氧化 作用。此外,油茶还是优良的冬季蜜粉源植物,花期正值少花季节, 10 月上旬至 12 月,蜜粉极其丰富。在生物质能源中油茶也由很高的应用价值 。同时,油茶又是一个抗污染能力极强的树种,对二氧化硫抗性强,抗氟和吸氯能力也很强。因此科学经营油茶林具有保持水土、涵养水源、调节气候的生态效益。油茶市场要想有长远的发展,就必须摆脱小作坊式的生产模式,打造全产业链的发展新体系。广东新大地业务范围涵盖了油茶全产业链的上、中、下游,即上游的良种油茶苗的培育与推广、高产油茶林基地的开发与建设;中游的茶油系列产品的研发、生产和销售,如精炼茶油等;下游的茶油精深开发如山茶油维E胶囊、护肤山茶油等,副产物茶粕、茶壳的综合利用如茶粕有机肥、天然山茶籽洗洁粉等,茶皂素及其衍生品的开发如茶皂素洗涤品、茶皂素生物农药等。这样一来,油茶市场的发展才会呈现良性。广大新大地具备这个实力,所以能够在推动油茶行业又快又好发展方面做出一定的贡献。加之国家政策的实施和消费者的认可,相信油茶市场会有很大的进步。
