【HKUMedXelerate 2025】五個科研項目獲資助 鼓勵推動科研臨床轉化

由 HKUMed Tam Wing Fan Innovation Start-up Grant 支持舉辦的第一屆「HKUMedXelerate 2025」是港大醫學院首設的創新科研的比賽，旨在鼓勵將科研成果轉化為醫療解決方案。比賽於12月初，邀請了最終入圍的十個項目團隊跟專業評審進行科研項目簡介。最終有五個科研項目獲勝，每個項目將獲高達150萬港元資助，以推動從概念階段邁向原型開發或市場化。

其中港大外科團隊榮膺其中一隊獲勝隊伍，詳情如下：

項目名稱：「肝立方：新一代仿生器官」
團隊領導：臨床醫學學院外科學系講座教授 萬鈞教授
項目簡介：肝立方是全球首個3D生物列印仿生平台，真實再現腫瘤微環境。平台融合兩項國際專利技術，涵蓋腫瘤免疫系統與微循環網路的3D/4D列印，使用患者來源的生物墨水及AI驅動列印技術，構建個人化腫瘤模型，精準模擬免疫特徵與組織力學。

港大外科團隊運用李嘉誠基金會早前捐出的三部氣泡治癌機 (Histotripsy)，已完成逾120名肝癌病人治療，並針對首30名病人發表論文，當中患者的「36小時技術成功率」達95%，結果與外國同類研究相似，成果令人鼓舞。

🩺港大外科臨床教授陳智仁教授接受傳媒專訪時分享，Histotripsy運用的「組織碎化技術」原理是利用高強度聚焦超聲波，在腫瘤內產生「氣泡雲」，一般腫瘤會在一年內慢慢縮小，部分病人在接受治療後約6個月，達到腫瘤「完全消失」。

陳教授表示團隊至今處理逾120宗病例中，病人年齡跨度十分大，由30多歲至90多歲均有，最年長者達95歲。病人一般留院一晚後，便能回家休養，約一周後肝功能已恢復，可繼續做化療或免疫治療，有病人更「一次過」處理多達6粒腫瘤，同樣只需住院一晚便可回家。

【🔬✨ 港大首次臨床應用新一代紅外線螢光成像技術助減食道手術風險】
港大跨學科團隊近日成功將近紅外線二區（NIR-II，1,000–3,000納米）螢光成像技術首次臨床應用於食道切除術，以協助手術過程中的決策。目前，本港已有約30名病人在新技術輔助下完成手術，成效理想 ✅。
研究由港大化學系、機械工程系及生物醫學學院格物立群基金教授戴宏杰講座教授與港大外科學系系主任羅英傑講座教授領導，並由港大工程學院王飛飛教授及港大外科臨床助理教授、瑪麗醫院榮譽副顧問醫生黃宇匡醫生聯合參與 🤝。

成果已刊登於國際頂尖期刊《美國國家科學院院刊》（PNAS）：

【最新消息】港大首次臨床應用新一代紅外線螢光成像技術助減食道手術風險

港大化學系、機械工程系及生物醫學學院的格物立群基金教授兼生命科學與能源材料創新研究所所長戴宏杰講座教授，以及李嘉誠醫學院（港大醫學院）臨床醫學學院外科學系系主任、鍾江海基金教授（腸胃外科）羅英傑講座教授領導的跨學科團隊，近日首次將近紅外線二區（NIR-II，1,000-3,000納米）螢光成像技術臨床應用於食道切除術，以協助手術過程中的決策。目前本港約有30名病人在新的螢光成像技術輔助下完成食道切除術，成效理想。

食道切除術是一項相當複雜的外科手術，須切除受病變或癌症影響的食道部分。其中最令人關注的併發症之一是「吻合口漏」，即食道與胃管（gastric conduit，GC）縫合處發生的胃腸道缺損，其併發症的發生率約為 10–30%，會導致術後併發症風險大幅提高，甚至可能導致死亡。港大團隊的最新技術結合高解析度的紅外線二區影像和快速電腦視訊分析，能夠客觀地劃分血供良好區和血供不良區，避免受操作者主觀判斷影響，從而更精準地指導切除和重建手術，並降低吻合口漏的風險。

臨床實現術中近紅外線二區螢光導引食道切除術

這是戴宏杰教授和羅英傑教授研究團隊首次將近紅外線二區螢光成像技術（1,000–3,000 納米）臨床應用於胃管血流灌注可視化診斷。與傳統的近紅外線一區相比，近紅外線二區成像實現了更佳的對比度和解析度。早在2009年，戴宏杰教授研究團隊已率先在小鼠模型身上實現了近紅外線二區成像；該技術採用波長大於1,000 納米的螢光訊號，能有效降低光散射和組織自體螢光干擾。此研究首次將近紅外線二區影像技術應用於人體上消化道外科手術。

本研究亮點包括：
1. 成功建立了一套適用於手術室環境的成像系統，能同時採集可見光和近紅外線螢光影像；
2. 近紅外線二區成像技術能夠提供比傳統近紅外線一區更清晰的組織成像，從而更精準地評估血流灌注狀態；
3. 結合術中快速運算，分析高解析度 NIR-II 血液灌注影片，可在給藥後一分鐘內精準辨識胃管灌注良好與灌注不足的區域。

戴宏杰教授表示︰「這正是一個跨學科合作的好例子，成功將我們的成像技術由小鼠實驗推展至臨床應用。」羅英傑教授指出：「這項創新研究為食道切除手術決策提供了客觀依據，有效協助外科醫生精準地判斷血流狀況，切除血液供應不足的部分，並在血液供應良好的區域進行吻合，從而有效減低吻合口滲漏的風險。此成果不僅提升手術安全性，對食管切除術領域是一個重大突破。」

這項研究是「產學研1+計劃」（RAISe+）和賽馬會「納米科學和納米醫學」創科實驗室和生命科學與能源材料創新研究院（MILES）的重要成果之一。RAISe+計劃旨在透過創新研發近紅外線二區螢光染料和成像儀器，實現對外科手術的革新。這項技術使外科醫生能夠獲得類似「紅外線視覺」的能力，從而在手術過程中實現對腫瘤、血管和器官的清晰觀測。團隊提出的解決方案有助於克服現有的成像深度不足、影像品質欠佳的問題，從而實現腫瘤精準切除、輸尿管的高清檢測和前哨淋巴結準確識別，使外科手術對患者而言更加安全和有效。

相關研究成果已於近日發表在著名學術期刊《美國國家科學院院刊》（PNAS）：https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2517785122

【🎉 Exciting Milestone in Urology Surgery 泌尿外科手術迎來振奮新里程】

We are excited to share that the Division of Urology has achieved a significant milestone by successfully completing the first three consecutive robotic-assisted living donor kidney transplants in Hong Kong over the past week.

This groundbreaking achievement introduces minimally invasive techniques that reduce morbidity and offer our patients a smoother recovery journey. Our team developed these skills at the International Robotic Kidney Transplant Masterclass in Italy, where we performed procedures on live porcine models. We also gained valuable insights during our visit to West China Hospital, one of the premier transplant centers globally.

Under the leadership of the Chief of Division Dr. Ada Ng, and Honorary Clinical Associate Professor Dr. Brian Ho, Dr. Thomas Wong, Dr. Simon Wong, and our dedicated team conducted these operations. We also recognize Dr. Tsang Chiu Fung for expertly harvesting the kidneys, marking a first in performing robotic donor nephrectomy locally. We sincerely thank Professor Lin Tao and Professor Fan Yu from West China Hospital, Sichuan University for visiting us and proctoring the operations.

We are especially grateful to the Department of Anaesthesiology and our nursing staff for their tireless efforts in ensuring smooth operations. Their dedication and expertise have been invaluable.

Our thoughts are with our patients as they begin their recovery. We are inspired by their courage and resilience, and we stand by them every step of the way.
Let’s continue to push the boundaries of medicine together!

我們欣然宣布，港大外科泌尿科團隊於過去一週內，成功完成香港首三例機械臂輔助活體腎臟移植手術，創下本地醫療重要里程碑。

這項突破採用微創技術，可降低手術併發風險，並為患者提供更順暢的康復過程。團隊的技術基礎源自意大利「International Robotic Kidney Transplant Masterclass」，以活體豬隻模型進行實踐訓練；此外，團隊亦曾到訪全球頂尖移植中心之一的四川大學華西醫院，從中獲得極具啟發性的臨床經驗。

在泌尿外科主管吳翠蓮醫生及港大外科名譽臨床副教授何思灝醫生帶領下，王庭峰醫生、黃海龍醫生與團隊憑藉精湛技術與全心投入，攜手完成這一系列手術。我們亦特別嘉許曾昭鋒醫生成功完成本港首例機械臂輔助活體取腎手術。同時衷心感謝四川大學華西醫院林濤教授與范鈺教授親臨港大，並在手術過程中給予實質指導。

我們特別鳴謝麻醉科部門和護理團隊的辛勤付出，他們以專業與熱忱確保每組手術順利運行，貢獻不可或缺。此時，我們心繫正在康復中的患者。他們的勇氣與堅韌令人動容，團隊將全程陪伴，共同走過康復之路。💪
