Could depression be caused by our immune system? 研究檢測(cè)人體免疫系統(tǒng)對(duì)抑郁癥的影響
British airport to revolutionise air traffic control 英國(guó)機(jī)場(chǎng)徹底改變空中交通管制系統(tǒng)
文字稿
This team at King's College London are examining physical rather than mental causes for depression. In particular, they're looking at whether the immune system, which is designed to defend our bodies, can be a source of psychological harm. They're looking for bio-markers in patients' blood and saliva that show inflammation — a sign that the immune system is in overdrive.
來自英國(guó)倫敦大學(xué)國(guó)王學(xué)院的這一團(tuán)隊(duì)正在檢測(cè)可能導(dǎo)致抑郁癥的身體原因，而非心理因素。該團(tuán)隊(duì)正在重點(diǎn)研究用于保護(hù)人體不受外界傷害的免疫系統(tǒng)，并判斷它是否是造成心理傷害的起因之一。研究人員正在病人的血液及唾液中尋找能顯示炎癥的生物標(biāo)志物—炎癥是免疫系反應(yīng)過度的表現(xiàn)。
This is London’s City Airport and that’s just one of the 300 or so take-offs and landings that happen here every day. And until now, all of those flights have been coordinated by a group of controllers who look out of these windows here. But in the future, those windows are going to be replaced by these high-definition TV screens — controllers won’t just see the airport they’ll be able to hear it as well. The thing is, this digital control tower is 120 miles away from the airport.
這是英國(guó)的倫敦城市機(jī)場(chǎng)，我們看到的景象只是這里每天大約300次的起降之一。此前，所有航班都是由這組空中交通指揮員通過觀察窗外的情況來協(xié)調(diào)管制的。然而今后，那些窗戶會(huì)被高清顯示屏取代，指揮員們從此不但可以看到機(jī)場(chǎng)，而且還能聽到各處的情況。重要的是，這座數(shù)字管制塔臺(tái)距機(jī)場(chǎng)120英里（約193公里）遠(yuǎn)。
