〔健康頻道/綜合報導〕薑黃素不只具有抗氧化、抗發炎作用,還可能有助對抗糖尿病造成的血管損傷。腎臟科醫師江守山分享一項最新動物研究指出,研究人員以第1型糖尿病大鼠進行實驗,結果發現,接受薑黃素治療1個月後,血管健康狀況獲得改善。顯示薑黃素除了有助改善血糖,對於減少發炎、恢復細胞反應,對於第1型糖尿病患者的主動脈的結構與功能,也能給予保護。
薑黃素改善多項血管健康指標
江守山於臉書粉專發文表示,前述研究成果於2026年在美國明尼阿波利斯舉行的「美國生理學高峰會」發表。研究第一作者斯瓦斯蒂.拉斯托吉(Swasti Rastogi)指出,薑黃素的作用不只是香料中的化合物或抗氧化劑,研究顯示,它除了有助改善血糖,還能減少發炎、恢復細胞反應,並保護第1型糖尿病患者的主動脈的結構與功能。

第1型糖尿病患心臟病風險高
研究人員表示,第1型糖尿病是一種終身自體免疫疾病,胰島素治療對於控制病情至關重要,不過,第1型糖尿病患者仍可能在較年輕時罹患心臟病,因為持續高血糖可能會損害血管。
江守山說,為了研究薑黃素是否能減輕這種損害,研究人員使用第1型糖尿病大鼠模型。將接受薑黃素治療的糖尿病大鼠與未接受薑黃素治療的糖尿病大鼠進行了比較。研究發現,一個月後,服用薑黃素的大鼠血管健康狀況有所改善,與非糖尿病大鼠的情況類似。
此外,江守山指出,研究人員也發現,薑黃素治療似乎可以減輕炎症,並恢復血管中更正常的鈣活性。它還有助於重新平衡熱休克蛋白70,這是一種重要的蛋白質,其調節會受到糖尿病的干擾。
江守山表示,這些作用共同表明,薑黃素可能有助於限制血管結構和功能的逐漸減弱,從而降低血管彈性。透過幫助血管維持更健康的功能,進而可能降低與糖尿病相關的一些心血管風險。

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many fire accidents caused by pets biting lithium batteries of children's toys, unquenched mosquito coils or power banks out of curiosity. Similar cases have occurred in Jingzhou, Hubei, Jiujiang, Jiangxi and Beijing. The fire department reminds families with pets to properly store flammable and explosive items, clean up debris regularly, lock kitchen doors, take care of heating equipment, prepare emergency escape kits, and cut off power and gas when going out to prevent pets from mishandling fires.

Waking up in the middle of the night to check the time will trigger anxiety and stress reactions, causing the more you look, the more you will wake up, forming a vicious cycle. Research shows that people who watch the clock tend to overestimate how long they have been awake and suffer from more insomnia. Physical isolation clocks, fixed wake-up times, cognitive conditioning, and relaxation training are recommended to break conditioned arousal.

On the occasion of the 69th International Day of the Deaf, experts pointed out that about 220 million people in my country have hearing loss. Sudden deafness is trending younger. People aged 20 to 35 who stay up late and are under high pressure are at high risk. The window period for treatment is short. The probability of hearing recovery is significantly reduced with every day of delay. At the same time, there are misunderstandings in wearing hearing aids, which require regular debugging, and be wary of noise overstretching the ears for safe listening time.

Recently, a video of the "Flying Step" originated from the Huagudeng dance in Anhui became popular on the Internet, triggering a large number of netizens and celebrities to imitate it. However, blindly following the trend of practice has led to many hospitals receiving knee injuries in young patients, mainly cruciate ligament strains or even tears. The article points out that although Internet celebrity moves such as "Flip Step", "Cross-legged Holding Pillar" and "Lying Fish" are interesting, ordinary people can easily cause knee joint injuries due to lack of professional training and warm-up. It also provides knee joint protection suggestions such as weight control, nutritional supplements, warmth, avoiding prolonged sitting, and elastic band training.

The Taiwan Infectious Disease Medical Association held an autumn and winter health education press conference, calling on elderly people over 65 years old and patients with chronic diseases to receive the influenza vaccine in their left hand and the COVID-19 vaccine in their right hand when the publicly funded vaccines begin on October 1, and give priority to the enhanced influenza vaccine to reduce the risk of severe illness and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications.

Li Sixian, a doctor at Churi Clinic, said that insulin resistance is reversible for most people. It is recommended to start with six daily habits such as changing the order of eating, heavy training, and walking after meals. Among them, eating vegetable protein first and starch last can reduce the peak blood sugar after meal by nearly 40%. Resistance training twice a week can improve insulin sensitivity by 25-30%.
