The trial run by the Institute of Cancer Research and the Royal Marsden aimed to test the safety of the new drug known as ONX 0801. It involved just 15 women – all with advanced ovarian cancer. The result – tumours shrank significantly in almost half of the women over the course of five weeks. But the scientists are urging caution, they say it was a very small study and it’s too early to know whether the success could be replicated in a larger group of patients.
英國癌癥研究院和英國皇家馬斯登醫(yī)院共同開展了旨在測試新藥“ONX 0801”安全性的試驗。此次試驗的參與者僅為15名患卵巢癌晚期的女性。試驗結(jié)果顯示，有近一半的女性在接受治療五周后其腫瘤體積大幅度縮小。但科學(xué)家們敦促人們應(yīng)慎重行事，他們說這個研究的規(guī)模很小，而且要想得知該試驗?zāi)芊裨诨颊呷藬?shù)更多的情況下取得同樣的成功還為時過早。
This Brazilian fisherman’s catch is not only for food, but medicine too! The skin of a tilapia, a common freshwater fish, is cleaned carefully and preserved. This is because tilapia skin is a potent burn remedy. The skin is made into strips and used to dress wounds. The method, though unorthodox, has proved to be both effective and affordable.
這位巴西漁夫捕到的魚不僅會被人食用，而且還會被當(dāng)成藥物使用。羅非魚是常見的淡水魚，工作人員把魚皮仔細清洗并保存好。這是因為羅非魚皮是能夠有效緩解燒傷的良方。羅非魚皮被加工成長條狀以包扎傷口。雖然這并不屬于傳統(tǒng)療法，但實踐證明它既有效又平價。
