As long as two specific proteins, named FE65 and ELMO1, are introduced into the neuron, their interactions can at least double the length of neurites, which connect nerve cells, and help neural networks to regrow. 當好「超級聯繫人」 Hong Kong as ‘Super- Connector’ 香港亞太研究所、全球中國研究計劃與 政治及行政學系合辦「永續與一帶一路： 香港與世界互動」國際會議，探討「一帶 一路」國家及地區推行可持續政策帶來 的機遇與挑戰，重點討論香港應怎樣發 揮好聯繫中國與世界的角色。 The Hong Kong Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies, the Global China Research Programme and the Department of Government and Public Administration co-hosted the ‘International Conference on Global Sustainability and the Belt and Road Initiative: Engaging the World from Hong Kong’ to explore the opportunities and challenges in connection with sustainable development projects in the Belt and Road regions, with special emphasis on the roles Hong Kong can play in the Belt and Road Initiative by serving as a point linking China and the rest of the world. 早期肺癌新療法 Pioneering Early Lung Cancer Treatment 醫學院外科學系胸腔外科團隊使用「混合手術室」先進的實時影像掃描，配合「電磁導 航支氣管鏡」微創技術，協助外科醫生精確找出肺部小至兩亳米的病變組織，並即時移 除。團隊早前發表全球首份相關技術研究報告，至今已為五十多名患者移除肺部可疑組 織，當中超過七成確診早期肺癌。 The thoracic surgical team of the Faculty of Medicine combines the use of Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB), a minimally invasive innovation, with ‘Hybrid Operating Room’ which allows real-time imaging of lesions as small as 2mm in size to remove lung lesions once found. The team has published the world’s first research paper on this surgical approach. It has helped over 50 patients to have their lesions removed, over 70% of whom were diagnosed with early lung cancer.
