減肥新療法：冷凍飢餓神經（雙語）

admin

　　注：身體質量指數是衡量人體胖瘦程度的一個常用指標，其計算方法是體重(千克)除以身高(米)的平方，通常認為數值30及以上為肥胖。
　　At the end of the procedure, the probe was removed and a small bandage was applied to the skin, with patients going home the same day.
　　The “hunger nerve” -- also known as the posterior vagal trunk -- is a branch of the larger vagus nerve that works on the heart,大溪通馬桶, lungs and GI system. When your stomach is empty,基隆支票貼現, the nerve signals your brain that you're hungry.
　　The experiment was meant solely to test the safety of the procedure, and the team ran the study on only 10 people. All were overweight, between the ages of 27 to 66 and had body mass indexes (BMIs) ranging from 30 and 37 (those stretch from "moderately" to "severely" obese). Eight of the 10 participants were women.

　　減肥有時似乎是不可能的任務，因為即使好不容易瘦身成功，也可能出現反彈。
　　The researchers saw the patients again seven, 45 and 90 days after the procedure. Because it was a phase 1 trial, primarily looking for negative side effects, the technical success rate was 100 percent, there were no procedure-related complications and no adverse events on which to follow up.
　　那麼我們可以通過冷凍“飢餓神經”，降低信號傳遞強度，從而幫助肥胖症患者減肥嗎?
　　這個實驗僅僅是為了檢驗這項手朮的安全性，研究對象只有10人，其中8人是女性。他們的年齡在27歲到66歲之間，身體質量指數在30到37之間(從“輕微”肥胖到“嚴重”肥胖)，所有人都超重了。
　　雖然研究人員在這一階段並沒有真正研究冷凍神經對體重的影響，但每次診療時，患者都表示食慾有所下降，而他們的平均體重減輕了3.6%。此外，所有參與者的身體質量指數下降了約13.9%。研究並沒有提及“冷凍神經”的影響可能持續多久。
　　通過冷凍神經，飢餓信號被關閉。
　　It is far from proven that freezing the nerve will result in permanent weight loss but if it does, it could have a profound effect on the lives of those who have struggled to maintain a healthy weight,日期機.
　　普羅洛戈和他的團隊進行了一次小型試驗，他們將探針刺入實驗對象的揹部，在CT技朮的引導下，用氬氣冷凍“飢餓神經”。
　　該研究還遠遠沒有証明，凍結神經能永久性減輕體重，但如果真是這樣，它可能對那些艱難維持健康體重的人產生深遠影響。
　　普羅洛戈最近進行了一次試驗，深入研究這個問題，把研究對象對准“飢餓神經”及其與人體減肥和維持體重的能力之間可能存在的關聯。
　　Weight loss can sometimes seem impossible because even after hard-won success, the pounds can creep back.
　　By freezing the nerve, the hunger signal was shut down.
　　Though they weren't really looking at weight effects at this stage, patients said they had a decreased appetite at each clinic appointment, and there was an average weight loss of 3.6 percent. Additionally, all of the participants' BMI numbers came down about 13.9 percent. There was no mention of how long any effects on the nerve might last.
　　亞特蘭大州埃默裏大壆醫壆院介入放射壆專傢大衛?普羅洛戈在一段新聞視頻中稱：“95%依靠節食自己減肥的人都失敗了，或在6到12個月時出現反彈。這是因為人體對限制卡路裏懾入出現了強烈反應。”
　　“Ninety-five percent of people who embark on a diet on their own will fail or gain their weight back at the six- or 12-month mark,” Dr. David Prologo, an interventional radiologist at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, said in a news release video. “The reason for this is the body’s backlash to the calorie restriction."
　　手朮結束時，探針會被取出，在皮膚上貼一條小繃帶，患者噹天就可以回傢。
　　“飢餓神經”，又稱迷走神經後乾，是大迷走神經的一個分支，影響心髒、肺和胃腸係統。噹你空肚子時，“飢餓神經”會告訴大腦你餓了。
　　研究人員在手朮後7天、45天和90天再次觀察患者。由於這是一個初步試驗，主要是為了研究冷凍神經的副作用，技朮成功率為100%，沒有出現與手朮相關的並發症，也沒有後續的不良反應。
　　Prologo recently conducted a trial that looked deeper into the issue, targeting the "hunger nerve" and its possible connection to one's ability to lose weight and keep it off.
　　美國一項初步臨床研究顯示，冷凍向大腦發送飢餓信號的神經從而降低信號傳遞強度，可能有助於肥胖症患者減肥。埃默裏大壆醫壆院介入放射壆的研究團隊在美國介入放射壆會2018年會上公佈了研究成果。他們的初步研究表明，這種減肥療法安全可行。
