陽明交大與禾榮科技今天(14日)在博愛校區舉行「硼中子捕獲治療暨前瞻影像中心」動土典禮,這座蓋在陽明交大竹銘醫院旁的硼中子捕獲治療中心,預計2028年底完工,未來將協助每年1500名癌症患者進行加速型的硼中子捕獲治療,包括頭頸癌及乳癌和肺腺癌等25種腫瘤疾病都可透過硼中子進行捕獲治療,陽明交大校長林奇宏與禾榮科技董事長兼校友許金榮也宣告要在竹市打造前瞻醫療科技研究基地。
這座前瞻影像中心醫療大樓規劃在博愛校區竹銘醫院旁,是地上1層、地下2層,總面積約3073平方公尺的新館舍。中心專為硼中子捕獲治療(BNCT)及超高磁場磁振造影系統(7T MRI)的設備需求量身打造,提供BNCT設備建置及操作訓練所需空間,且會連接即將完工的竹銘醫院,提供高階精準診斷的核心基地。同時結合陽明交大在醫學研究、臨床應用及人才培育優勢,和禾榮科技在先進醫療技術與設備建置的專業,促進學術研究與產業技術的整合。
禾榮科技指出,硼中子捕獲治療是結合含硼藥物與中子照射的放射治療技術,透過含硼藥物在腫瘤組織中的選擇性累積,再以中子照射產生局部放射效應,達到破壞癌細胞的目的,目前僅中國醫學大學附設新竹醫院有這套設備,明年台北榮總醫院會啟用,新竹市將與竹銘醫院一起落成啟用,提供癌症患者多一個醫療選擇。
林奇宏提到,此次合作是陽明交大推動「博愛校區風華再現」計畫的重要里程碑。博愛校區是交大的重要發源地,也是台灣半導體科技發展的起點。近年校方透過書田館改造、竹銘醫院興建及老舊宿舍更新,逐步推動校區轉型。未來將結合臨床醫療、科學研究與工程技術,打造醫療、研究及教學緊密整合的創新基地。

The Hunan, Hubei, and Anhui Tibet Medical Team provides medical assistance in the four counties of Longzi, Qusong, Langkazi, and Sangri in Shannan City, Tibet. It has effectively made up for the medical shortcomings in plateau counties by establishing online remote clinics, performing difficult surgeries, and implementing a "teaching and mentoring" local talent training mechanism.

The 2026 World Medical Association Congress was held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The meeting reaffirmed support for Taiwan's participation in all WHO programs and its inclusion in the IHR mechanism, demonstrating the international medical community's support for Taiwan's participation in the global health system.

New Taipei City Health Director Chen Runqiu pointed out that in order to encourage sedentary office workers to exercise, the city government launched the "Stride in the Workplace" In the lottery event, participants form teams and use the New Taipei Dong Health APP. During the event period from October 27 to November 16, if the team reaches an average of 7,000 steps per day, they will be eligible for the lottery. The total prize is 500,000 yuan, and the maximum prize is 30,000 yuan in cash. The top 20 workplaces will receive a 3,000 yuan gift certificate. Registration ends on October 21.

A research team from the University of Amsterdam Medical Center in the Netherlands analyzed data from the British Biobank and found that patients with type 2 diabetes whose systolic blood pressure fluctuates greatly have a risk of death about 2.8 times that of those with normal blood sugar and stable blood pressure. The 10-year mortality rate is estimated to be 2.9%; those with prediabetes have a 62% increased risk of death. The study highlights that blood pressure fluctuations may help identify high-risk patients, but cannot prove cause and effect.

The National Hygiene and Health Conference was held in Beijing from October 12 to 13. It was clarified that a healthy China needs to have six major capabilities: health management, disease prevention and control, medical services, medical insurance support, medical innovation, and talent training. It also emphasized prevention first and full life cycle health maintenance. It proposed that by 2030, the average life expectancy will reach 80 years old and residents’ health literacy will reach 40%. It will also deploy measures such as strengthening the medical and health infrastructure projects and optimizing the centralized procurement of pharmaceutical consumables.

A study involving 95,559 adults found that those who slept longer in the rapid eye movement (REM) period were significantly associated with a lower risk of 83 diseases, including dementia, Parkinson's disease, and heart failure; however, the study was observational and did not prove that prolonged REM sleep can directly prevent diseases.
