驚！熱熱辣辣的感覺擠下了mRNA疫苗技術拿下諾貝爾獎？

 

2021年的 #諾貝爾獎 (生理或醫學類) #nobelprize （Physiology or Medicine） 出爐啦！
在疫情肆虐的這兩年，生科與醫學領域「再次」被世人注重起來 (上次可能是昌宇案跟中研院院長被檢調求處無期徒刑)。mRNA、棘蛋白、冠狀病毒等等生醫名詞忽然之間就像半導體、周杰倫一樣，忽然人人都可以說上兩句。也因如此，本屆的諾貝爾生醫獎備受矚目。尤其又以主導發明 #mRNA 轉譯平台 與 #BNT 疫苗 其中之一的匈牙利科學家 Katalin Kariko呼聲最高。

BUT! 世事難預料，最後大獎非眾人預期給了mRNA，而是給了發現溫度與觸覺的感受器 #TRPV1 與 #PIEZ01 、 #PIEZ02 的美國教授  David Julius 以及 Ardem Patapoutian！

雖然我們都會感受到冷熱或是碰到東西的觸覺，但其實這在醫學上一直是個謎，因為如何把「溫度」以及「觸感」轉換成大腦能反應的電子訊號是未知的，這些感覺太過「虛幻」，難以偵測。反倒是光影透過眼睛、痛感刺激神經、臭味透過受氣這種「刺激」的傳導比較早被分析出來。

另外，講到溫度，科學家們也注意到另一個問題：「為何辣椒的辣會跟熱那麼像？」因此Julius教授設計了一系列的實驗，發現會受到辣椒素刺激反應的 #TRPV1 在受到攝氏>43度時也會有相同的反應，進而發現了人體是怎麼感受「熱」的。同樣的，他們也發現了 #TRPM8 會被「冷」影響。這也終於解開為何人會感到冷跟熱的千古難題。 (我猜也只有生科人覺得是難題吧?)

至於觸覺，他們則是發現了 #PIEZ01 和 #PIEZ02 通道對於壓力有明顯的反應，進而了解了觸覺和感知是怎麼轉換成電子訊號讓大腦知道的。

這些發現，雖然看似微不足道，但卻是生理學的一大進步，人們終於逐漸全盤了解人體是怎麼將這些「虛無飄渺」的感覺轉換成實際的電子訊號傳送到大腦。這種基礎研究的重要性可不亞於實際應用的疫苗喔！這除了疾病上的可能應用外，更有可能在未來應用在「義肢」或「電子義體」上！這也宣告了人類肉體替換的可能性更大了！這也意味著本來只能在漫畫、電影中，如銀翼殺手、攻殼機動隊、銃夢，所出現的場景將不再是「科幻」啦！

是不是運動完或是大姨媽來就有種想要把身體換掉的衝動？想要更換肉體可能還有得等，但想要舒緩肚子冷冷或是其他部位一般性或運動性不適感的問題，可以試試 #筋爽貼片 ！ #筋爽貼片 內含薑黃、尤加利，可以讓接觸部位感覺到溫溫的舒適感，消除疲勞、冷冷、酸酸問題bye bye啦！

還是想試試嘴巴裡面的 #TRPM8 是否運作正常嗎？超涼的 #舒呀侯定 ，不僅能讓您充分感受到 #嘴巴涼涼 還能體驗到 #口氣清新 喔！

蹦！中西醫大和解？連西醫也認同的薑黃與肉桂的消炎力。

 

 每當說到中西醫的不同，大家肯定第一個想到的就是西醫支持者通常都會對中醫的一些藥草療效不置可否，更甚者就是斥之以鼻。但以下兩種藥草的神奇療效，在科學家數年的研究下，可是被極度肯定的喔！

首先是 #薑黃 #Turmeric，其原本來自印度，常被當作咖哩跟香料食用。引進中國後也被當作漢方使用，主要功能是：活血化瘀、行氣止痛。科學家們發現薑黃中含有300多種有效成分，其中最主要的稱為 #curcumin #薑黃素，其抗氧化與抗發炎的作用已經被證實 (Tabrizi  et al., 2018; Hewlings & Kalman, 2017)。其消炎止痛的作用甚至跟我們常見的 #扶他林 (#diclofenac) #布洛芬 (#ibuprofen)雷同 (Kuptniratsaikul et al., 2008; Shep et al., 2019)。可惜一般薑黃只含有3%薑黃素且極難被人體吃下去後吸收，所以真的要有效果必須用其他的方式協助導入。但其消炎止痛的能力的確不能忽視。

接著是 #肉桂 #Cinnamon，漢方中也常見用於驅風健胃、活血祛瘀、散寒止痛。顧名思義，其成分也必定有抗氧化與抗發炎的作用 (Zhu, 2020)，機制與針對的目標也跟薑黃差不多。可見東西方文化下雖然用字不同，但此類藥草使用目的都是相同的。可惜因為其本身還有所謂的 #香豆素 (#coumarin)，吃太多會對肝臟造成負擔 (Brancheau, 2015)，所以通常建議成人一天最多吃一茶匙(大概2.5g)的肉桂就好了。另外，肉桂中的 #肉桂醛（#cinnamaldehyde) 也擁有很厲害的抗菌能力喔 (Topa et al., 2018)！所以也很多人會用肉桂精油按摩或當香氛來達到抗菌的效果。也因為其抗菌成份，很多美髮廠商會用其來對抗 #皮屑芽孢菌，減少皮屑產生。

好的東西是不怕驗證的，這也是很多藥草在數千年之後，用更多的科技與儀器檢驗之下，不僅沒有被遺棄，甚至更加萃取與精化，達到更好的效果！

想試試藥草的威能嗎？含有薑黃的 #筋爽貼片 #SoothingPatch 與含有肉桂醛的 #濤墨洗髮精 #Taomoushampoo 值得您一試！

#新年快樂

睏。怎麼每天越睡越疲勞？關於睡眠的五個科學小故事！

 

身為忙碌的台灣人，每天都奢望著更多的睡眠時間來補眠 (然後繼續在床上看手機)。不時看到健康雜誌寫每天要睡足八小時身體才會好，便開始擔心身體一天比一天差；卻又爾偶看到哪個名人睡不到幾小時還是天天活力充沛 (像是川普聲稱只睡3小時一天)，感覺周末就應該跟名人看齊來個通宵。到底哪些睡眠傳聞是真的、哪些是假的啦！那就讓科科來幫大家釐清真相吧！Pui Pui！

1. 每天應該睡八小時：這是正確的。
根據美國國家睡眠基金會指出，根據統計，一般成年人"一整天"睡眠7-8小時是對身體最好的 (Hirshkowitz et al., 2014)。雖然很多另類療法或名人常常說可以透過訓練減少睡眠增加醒著的時間還能加強體能，但這其實是錯誤的想法。根據數據指出少睡的惡性回饋作用會隨時間逐漸浮現，像是更加暴躁、嗜睡、心臟疾病等等。比起有嚴重睡眠問題的人，睡好睡滿的人心臟病機率會減少約42%喔 (Li et al., 2020)。所以時間到了還是乖乖睡覺吧！

2. 記得夢的人睡得更好：並不會。
很多修行或靈修者常說要記得自己的夢才能有更好的睡眠品質與自我控制。其實夢境與記憶牽扯到很多東西，像是大腦記憶中心的海馬迴跟MCH賀爾蒙等 (Kilduff et al., 2019)。如果要釐清可能科科又要開個新專欄了。這邊簡單說就是「以科學的角度來說，因為大腦為了避免雜物太多影響日常，會主動消除夢境。常記得自己夢境的人代表比較容易半夜醒來跟較淺眠」僅此而已。但記得夢境有助於創作靈感，這就是另外一回事啦！

3. 給我一杯酒再給我一支菸說睡就睡我有的是時間：錯了喔！
有人睡前會抽個菸或是喝到醉，說這樣可以睡很好。但有沒有想過為何會有「宿醉」？其實像是酒精、菸草、大麻等等的確會加速睡著的速度，但也同時更大幅度降低了睡眠品質。科學家發現酒精、菸草會明顯大幅減少「REM快速動眼期」，就是所謂的深層睡眠 (Ebrahim et al., 2013)。所以醉倒感覺好像可以睡很好，但其實只是身體跟大腦被酒精癱瘓了，卻根本沒有休息到，導致隔天才有「宿醉」這種痛苦又疲倦的不適感。而且常喝酒的人失眠機率比不喝酒的人多35~70%喔(Angarita et al., 2016)！下次該睡就睡，不要再靠酒精麻痺啦！

4. 午睡很健康：為了廣大的勞工朋友，並與資方抗衡，科科怎樣都必須說「沒錯！午睡很重要！」。
根據美國睡眠基金的研究指出，一個禮拜來幾次為時20分鐘的午睡是對精神與健康有幫助的 (sleepfoundation.org)。因為人體中午過後會自然地比較困頓一點，故小小午睡的確是能增加下午的工作效率。但也要注意，要是中午睡20-30分鐘還是很想睡，表示本身就有睡眠問題，可能是晚上深層睡眠不足等等，也請要注意一下身體囉！

5. 不睡會死掉：並沒有。
這時候可以請美國人來示範一下。一名叫做 Randy Gardner的年輕人 (在1965年時是年輕人) 11天又24分鐘沒有睡覺。在這期間，他自述第二天就完全無法集中注意力，第四天就開始有幻覺與妄想，到最後已經快要沒辦法記憶任何東西或正常表達。然後......就沒有然後了，因為等他終於去睡覺之後，一切就恢復正常了，也沒有任何後遺症等等。在科學的紀錄上也沒有任何人是因為不睡覺而死亡。所以不睡覺不會直接導致死亡，但會很痛苦，也會間接導致死亡。例如美國在2013年的紀錄中，13%的工傷跟睡眠不足有關 (Uehli et al., 2013)。

簡單說，晚上最好睡7-8小時，真的不行中午也可以補眠大約20分鐘。以上數字超過或太低都不好喔！如果想要讓晚上休息的品質好些，可以來片 #舒寧貼片 #calmpatch 來輔助，讓身心恢復平靜沉穩喔！


#睡多睡少都不好還是規律最好
#打完一整篇科科也突然好想小憩一下
#不睡大挑戰最新紀錄是英國來的東尼萊特先生以兩百六十六小時不睡打敗美國登上不睡排行第一名
#科科不想挑戰不睡倒是很想挑戰一直睡

我朋友的朋友跟我說......五個最常聽到的健康迷思大破解？！

「跟你說，那個醫生都說......我是聽我朋友的姑媽的乾弟的外甥跟我講的，千萬不要不信邪！」相信很多人都聽過類似的話語，那種感覺煞有其事、似真似假的"常識"。
不過通常因為這種"常識"是朋友說的、信了又無傷大雅，然後就一傳十、十傳百的流傳出去，到底真實度跟那個"醫生"到底是誰，就又不是那麼重要了。反正能拿來說嘴最重要！但，錯誤的訊息卻可能造成更大的傷害，請大家八卦說雖說但請不要隨意聽信啊！

今天就來跟著科科細數五個最常聽到的"鄉里常識"吧！

1. 千萬別叫醒夢遊中的人啊！ (X)
「如果看到有人夢遊，千萬別叫醒他！不然他靈魂會回不來/心臟病發喔！」這種迷思相信大家都有聽過。不過因為要遇到人夢遊的機率微乎其微，就沒人去管真實性。但真的遇到了該怎辦呢？
美國睡眠基金會指出：不叫醒夢遊的人才是真的危險！(Sleep.org, 2020) 因為睡夢中反而可能會傷害自己或別人。所以最好方式還是大叫或製造聲音吵醒他，讓他乖乖回去睡覺。不過在夢遊中被吵醒一定會感到困惑，這時請跟他解釋：「你夢遊啦！」但千萬別靠近或接觸，因為夢遊者可能把接觸到的人當作威脅而攻擊。


2. 游泳前吃東西會容易抽筋喔！ (O)
小時候游泳前一定聽過家長說過不准吃東西，理由通常是這樣可能會抽筋或是肚子痛，所以都要飯前或飯後幾小時才能游泳。這設定太麻煩了吧？肯定是大人吃飽嫌麻煩不准小朋友游泳而已！
可惜這個"常識"是正確的。沒錯！吃飯後請不要馬上跑去游泳喔！因為如果飯後太認真游泳，會因為血液都在腸胃道作用而減少四肢的血流量，進而導致輕微抽筋的問題。(O'Connor, 2005) 加上這對腸胃消化也不太好。所以請飯後還是等一下再去游泳吧！

3. 人的舌頭只能嘗到酸甜苦三種味道！ (X)
有些人在吃麻辣鍋的時候，為了顯示自己學識淵博，都會說一句：「人其實只有三種味覺，不是四種，所以只有酸甜苦。而辣是痛覺！」這時，身為人體知識小老師的您就可以回嗆：「錯！人的舌頭依然是四種味覺受器，是酸甜苦與"鮮"。」
所以這題是錯的。人的舌頭除了古人說的酸甜苦辣(或是痛)以外，其實還有一種味道叫做"鮮" (英文為 umami...對，因為是日本東大發現的，日文"旨味"直接翻成英文。也可以稱為 savory)。主要的來源是海菜、香菇、肉、魚中的MSG，也就是赫赫有名的"味精"，又稱為麩胺酸鈉。(Ikeda,1908) 至於吃太多味精會反胃嘔吐等迷思，礙於篇幅，下次再說吧！

4. 小朋友吃太多糖會變過動兒！ (X)
現代父母養小孩時，旁邊肯定有一堆親朋好友跟著出意見。而其中最常聽到的就是：「不可以給小孩子吃糖，現代醫學說不然會變過動兒或是注意力不集中喔！」這時身為父母者肯定把甜食當作妖魔鬼怪，最好小朋友這輩子都不要吃糖。
為了小孩的福利，這邊只能說聲：您錯了。真正的現代醫學專家打臉道：「根據研究，不管一般小孩還是過動兒，吃糖都不會對認知或行為造成任何影響，更不會因此過動。這種想法都是"個人經驗談"與"大家這樣說"的謬論。」(Wolraich, Wilson,  & White, 1995)
啊！不過吃太多糖還是會讓小孩有變胖問題，請注意喔！也可能因為想吃更多糖而討厭吃其他食物，這也請注意就是。

5. 還不穿衣服？這樣會感冒！ (?)
如果有人說：「天氣這麼冷，還不保暖會感冒的！」在您準備嗆聲說：「感冒是病毒引起的，跟天氣無關！」之前，有些事情還是需要討論一下的。
首先，的確感冒是病毒引起，跟天氣無關。但是感冒病毒"確實"容易在比較冷的人體中存活下來 (Foxman, 2016) 加上流感通常好發於秋冬之際，感染的機會也會大幅上升。故這句話以結果而言是對的，但原因方面則是錯的。所以如果媽媽下次說記得多穿件衣服，還是請說聲謝謝並乖乖穿上吧！

如果有想要知道的其他小知識，也請留言跟科科說啊！看完了如果大腦大爆炸也請貼個#舒寧貼片 #calmpatch 壓壓驚

MILK! Dare to say whole milk is not good, time to face the fury of scientists! An epic revenge crossing 21 countries during 9 years! (Dramatic effect)

 There are many different opinions about the dairy products. Some people say you will get cancer by drinking cow milk, and others elaborate it can make you taller. In addition to the endless war between the fans of plant-based dairy and the fans of animal-based dairy, many "gunpowder" have been added within. Especially in Asia, plenty of Asians have #lactoseIntolerance, which causes more people to reject animal milk. not to mention that the whole milk is almost as evil as Coke in a lot of people's minds.

But is milk really so unbearable?

A group of scientists found a group of people in Europe and America to conduct dairy diet experiments, including milk, cheese, yogurt, etc. They found that a dairy diet can effectively control the risks of #hypertension (Appel et al., 1997) and #T2DM (Abbreviation of Type 2 diabetes mellitus; Kalergis, Yinko and Nedelcu, 2013).

However, some people will still say: "This is European and American research, maybe Asians could be the opposite!" the majority of scientists are #bad-tempered, and they will cost everything to prove they are right when they are provoked. Like Einstein, he wrote E=MC2 down furiously, because he was beaten up by aliens (unconfirmed, https://youtu.be/qAMoWEwK-4A).

Therefore, more than forty angry (unconfirmed) scientists devoted to an enormous experiment crossing 21 countries around the world, about 150,000 people, during more than 9 years from witnessing Fukushima nuclear disaster to COVID-19 pandemic. They just want to slap the person who thinks the milk is bad. We can see how deep the hatred is. (Bhavadharini, 2020)

This tremendous research indicates that more dairy product you eat, the lower the risk of #metabolism, #T2DM, and #hypertension! Moreover, the effect of #WholeMilk is much better than #LowFatMilk!

After this time-consuming and costly experiment, the following are the recommendations and conclusions of these experts: (Bhavadharini, 2020)
1. Eating full-fat dairy products at least twice per day, including milk, cheese, yogurt, etc., can reduce the risk of the diseases above by 24%.

2. Low fat only reduces the risk of metabolic syndrome and has no other significant effect, so low fat is not healthier than full-fat dairy products.

3. People with lactose intolerance should still be careful of the amount.

Last but not least, do not forget the #SoothePatch containing #peptide from milk and #ERADER that can help with related problems! More details: https://www.lamarckbio.com/

Sad! What should ancient people do while insomnia?

#Insomnia is a common illness. However, during various medication or therapies, insomnia could be relieved more or less. Although some people say that insomnia is a modern disease, in ancient times, perhaps some princes, nobles, or scholars had also suffered from insomnia. (At least the opera sings like this: Nessun dorma) So, is there any other way to treat it in that time?

In ancient India, there was a treatment called #Shirodhara. Shiro represents the head, and Dhara means the flow. Like the name, dripping water on his forehead made him fall asleep. Indians usually use essential oils, herbal water, milk or pure water. Intentional video https://youtu.be/lweMS8TBqso.

In India, a group of scientists conducted an experiment in order to confirm the benefits of #AncientTherapy. (Pokharel and Sharma, 2010) They found there was a good improvement in sleep quality. In addition, milk might be the best in Shirodhara. However, they said the mechanism was difficult to explain. One possibility is that warm milk poured on the forehead is very comfortable and stimulate brain’s signal of sleep. Another explanation by ancient yoga is Shirodhara can restore Sanjnavaha Srotas to calmness, increase Kapha Dosha and suppress Vata and Pitta Doshas. Okay, I have no idea what these words mean either.

In any case, if you don’t have the opportunity to taste the comfort of Shirodhara, the #calmpatch containing #peptides can also soothe nervousness! Please visit our website: https://www.lamarckbio.com/pages/patch-park

Note: Calm patch is not recommended to be attached to the forehead. If you want to apply it, please fully disinfect it and apply essential oils before using it.

Exactly, what is PSA patch

While you enjoy the comfortable and cozy #PatchPark, have you ever think about what #PSA is?

PSA, Pressure-sensitive adhesive, is commonly used in various applications, such as artificial skin, band-aid and memo sticker. The definition of PSA is to achieve a good adhesive effect by applying a slight pressure in a short period easily. This can moisturize the surface as quickly as fluid, but when removed, it can leave as solid. Because the PSA is permanently sticky at room temperature, it is usually covered with release paper and film to prevent being contaminated.

#PatchPark can provide proper moisturizing and tightness for the active ingredients, and strengthen the high adhesion of the active ingredient to the skin. In addition, its back material has the "unidirectional stretch" feature, which can provide sufficient "anti-tension" and "down-force" to force small molecules through the skin to reach the microvessels and then transport it to the body. It is like an invisible hand pressing the active ingredients into the skin, which can enter the body more effectively and quickly than the traditional patch.

Currently, #PatchPark is also recruiting more trial users. If you are interested, please contact us directly via Facebook or the official website https://www.lamarckbio.com/

Who? Who was the first tried to save women from painful menstruation?

Mother’s Day just passed, but a thankful heart to mother should ever last. <3

Here, we are going to share a story about a great scientist and the fighter of gender equality - Clelia Duel #Mosher.

Mosher was born in 1863, New York. Because of her physician father, she was very interested in biology and medicine. After she grew up, she got the master and M.D. degree from Stanford University and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine respectively.

Mosher had researched a spectacular subject, #menstruation, which no one had ever wanted to devote in that period. She had surveyed 2000 women and 12000 menstruation cycles, and realized that personal hygiene is one of the most important reasons to induce menstrual cramps. To tackle cramps, she invented the Mosher breathing exercise, which might be the old type of #CoreExercises, and also she might be the first American doctor who advocated core exercises to alleviate the cramps.

In that conservational Victorian era, a woman who wore corset and kept obeyed and silent was the best woman. However, as a college student, Mosher broke the taboo to gather the data about women's sexual habits. She surveyed 47 high and middle class women. As a result, 35 women elaborated they desired sex and did birth control. This result has shown the true face of Victorian women. Nevertheless, this survey had never been published by Mosher because of the atmosphere of society until Stanford University did it in 1973. This research not only revealed the life of Victorian women and also inspired the #feminism.

Mosher was a great scientist and a pioneer of #GentleEquality. In 1932, she wrote: “Born into a world of unlimited opportunity, the woman of the rising generation will answer the question of what woman's real capacities are."

Mosher breathing exercise could help to decrease the pain of menstruation. With #soothepatch, the cramps could be alleviated more! More details: https://www.lamarckbio.com/pages/patch-park
