(SeaPRwire) - 加拿大總理Mark Carney在5月21日表示,該國與美國討論了參與總統Donald Trump的計畫。當被問及加拿大願意為預計耗資數千億甚至數兆美元的項目支付多少錢時,Carney表示他不會為此「定價」,但補充說:「我們意識到,如果我們願意,我們可以透過投資和夥伴關係來完成Golden Dome。」 但Trump在5月27日星期二表示,加拿大可以免費加入——但有一個條件。 Trump 在Truth Social上表示:「我告訴加拿大,他們非常希望成為我們出色的Golden Dome System的一部分,如果他們仍然是一個獨立但不平等的國家,將花費610億美元,但如果他們成為我們珍視的第51個州,將花費0美元。」 「他們正在考慮這個提議!」 Trump 一再表達了對的渴望——這種立場在加拿大人中非常不受歡迎。在5月6日的橢圓形辦公室會議上,Carney的被視為對Trump的反駁,他向美國總統堅稱,他的北方鄰國「不出售」,並且「永遠不會出售」。Trump 回應說「時間會證明一切」和「永遠不要說永不」。 美國和加拿大已經有一個聯合防空系統,稱為NORAD。加拿大表示,它將在未來二十年內投資約280億美元用於現代化。 Trump 的「Golden Dome」計畫,設想為一個能夠挫敗飛彈襲擊的攔截器、衛星和感測器網路,並以以色列的「Iron Dome」為藍本,將花費更多。總統上週宣布「Golden Dome」計畫將在他的任期結束前投入運營時表示,該項目總體將耗資1750億美元,而非黨派的Congressional Budget Office估計,開發和運營這樣一個系統的成本在20年內可能高達8310億美元——而這僅僅是為了保護美國。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

First patient dosed in YK012 trial-the world’s first TCE therapy for primary membranous nephropathy
Key Highlights- Clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of YK012 in primary membranous nephropathy- Globally, this is the first bispecific CD19-directed CD3 T cell engager immunotherapy for this autoimmune disease- Milder T cell activation than Blincyto and Target cell-dependent T cell activation- Multiple CR cases observed in ongoing r/r NHL Phase Ia trial and r/r ALL Phase Ib/II trialHONG KONG, May 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Excyte, a global clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced first patient has been dosed for YK012, the world’s first patient T cell engager that entered into clinical trial for primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). The patient remained well after administration with no adverse reactions witnessed to date.pMN is an autoimmune disease caused by the attack of autoantibodies against podocyte antigens leading to the in situ production of immune complexes. pMN is the most common cause of primary nephrotic syndrome in non-diabetic adults worldwide, accounting for 20% to 37% of affected individuals, and as high as 40% in adults over 60 years of age (1). Currently, 20-30% of pMN cases are resistant to current therapies like rituximab and cyclophosphamide and relapse rates can be high (2).A clear regulatory pathway in this orphan disease in US could make YK012 one of the first approved TCE in the autoimmune space with many other autoimmune and oncology indications to follow. Excyte would file for US investigational new drug (IND) application imminently.The study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of YK012 in PMN patients. Led by Professor Minghui Zhao and Prof Zhao Cui from Peking University First Hospital, the trial is planned to be conducted across multiple centers in China. The clinical trial for this indication in the United States will be collaboratively executed by Excyte and its international partners.“YK012 is a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody targeting both CD19 and CD3, activating T-cell immunity via CD3 while targeting CD19—the most widely expressed tissue-specific marker during B-cell development and thereby enabling B-cell reset. Our data illustrated YK012 mediated significant B cell depletion and have illustrated in current clinical studies extended half-life and limited cytokine release in patients,” said Mr. Andrew Meng, chairman and COO at Excyte. “We look forward to collaborating with regulatory authorities to make YK012 available to this patient population with a high unmet medical need."In December 2024, YK012 obtained Clinical Trial Approval Notice (No. CXSL2400727) from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06982729). With the first patient dosed in pMN, Excyte now has a global presence in autoimmune diseases in additional to oncology indications such as NHL and ALL. Earlier this year, Excyte also secured clinical trial approval for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with Professor Xiaofeng Zeng from Peking Union Medical College Hospital serving as Principal Investigator.About Excyte Biopharma Ltd.Excyte Ltd. was co-founded by Dr Qing’an Yuan and Mr Andrew Meng , biotech industry veterans with decades of antibody engineering experiences. The company has also established a U.S.-based wholly-owned subsidiary, Excyte LLC, forming a dual-engine drug R&D hub spanning China and the U.S. Excyte is dedicated to developing innovative bispecific antibody drugs for hematologic cancers, multiple myeloma, solid tumors, autoimmune diseases, and other conditions. Excyte’s FIST platform and next generation assets possess features such as long-acting, low-toxicity, and high-yield technological innovations.

New Drug Approval for In-House Developed Anti-Insomnia Drug DAYVIGO (Lemborexant) in China
TOKYO, May 28, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. announced today that the in-house-discovered and developed orexin receptor antagonist DAYVIGO® (generic name: lemborexant) has been approved in China for the treatment of adults with insomnia, characterized by difficulties with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance. Eisai plans to launch this medicine in China in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.DAYVIGO is a dual orexin receptor antagonist that inhibits orexin neurotransmission regulating sleep-wake rhythm by binding competitively to the two subtypes of orexin receptors (OX1R and OX2R). DAYVIGO acts on the orexin neurotransmitter system and is believed to facilitate sleep onset, sleep maintenance, and wake by regulating sleep-wake rhythm. DAYVIGO binds to orexin receptors OX1R and OX2R and acts as a competitive antagonist with stronger inhibition effect on OX2R, which suppresses both REM and non-REM sleep drive, such that DAYVIGO may provide faster sleep onset and better sleep maintenance to patients.Eisai submitted an application for approval, which was accepted in January 2024, based on the outcome of two pivotal Phase 3 clinical studies (SUNRISE 1: NCT02783729(New Window) and SUNRISE 2: NCT02952820(New Window)) conducted globally in a total of approximately 2,000 adult patients with insomnia, as well as the outcome of a Phase 3 clinical study (Study 311: NCT04549168(New Window)) conducted in China.Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both despite an adequate opportunity to sleep, that has occured at least three times a week for at least one month, and which can lead to fatigue, difficulty concentrating and irritability(1),(2). The prevalence of insomnia among adults in China is reported to be 15.0%(3), with approximately 172.5 million people thought to suffer from insomnia.(4)DAYVIGO has been approved for the treatment of insomnia in 22 countries and regions, including Japan and the United States, Canada, Australia and countries in Asia.Eisai will continue its efforts to deliver DAYVIGO as a new treatment option to insomnia patients across the world with the hope of contributing to restoration of daytime function and recovery for patients with insomnia by potentially delivering an active daytime life through fast sleep onset and good quality sleep.About DAYVIGO (Generic Name: Lemborexant)DAYVIGO, an orexin receptor antagonist, is Eisai’s in-house discovered and developed small molecule that inhibits orexin neurotransmission by binding competitively to the two subtypes of orexin receptors (orexin receptor 1 and 2). Fast on/off receptor kinetics of lemborexant to orexin receptors may influence lemborexant’s potential to facilitate improvements in sleep onset and maintenance with minimal morning residual effects. It has been approved for the treatment of insomnia in 22 countries including Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia and countries in Asia.(1) Ferrie JE, et al.

在對健康資訊缺乏信任的時代,雇主是關鍵 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 在一個信任感日益降低的時代,雇主掌握著獨特的影響力。他們仍然是最受信任的機構之一,尤其是對自己的員工而言。根據統計,員工認為企業在提供可信資訊方面的能力是美國政府的兩倍,甚至超越非營利組織和媒體。人們希望根據可靠的資訊做出明智的決定,並且越來越願意從雇主那裡接收這些資訊。 這種趨勢並非始於今日。在COVID-19疫情期間,許多雇主挺身而出,填補了資訊的空白。他們提供了關於從室內空氣品質到疫苗安全等各方面的準確、及時的健康指導。例如,美國第二大雇主Amazon就積極參與直接員工互動,以推廣疫苗接種。這些努力不僅僅是發送電子郵件或張貼海報;還包括一對一的宣導、同儕之間的倡導和行動疫苗接種單位。今天,即使健康問題不斷演變,Amazon仍在繼續這種模式,在其倉庫中每天進行安全簡報和傷害預防討論。 隨著我們走出疫情,對可信健康溝通的需求仍然迫切。雇主完全有能力繼續這項工作,不僅僅是因為他們的可信度,還因為他們在更健康、更知情的員工身上有既得利益。健康的員工生產力更高,請假天數更少,並且有助於降低醫療保健成本——這一直是許多公司關心的問題。同樣,受過教育的員工更有可能理解並有效地利用日益昂貴的雇主贊助的健康福利。UnitedHealthcare進行的一項調查發現,56%的能夠獲得有效的雇主健康促進計劃的員工表示,他們的病假天數減少了,這一發現已在多個地區得到證實。其他證據表明,雇主在健康計劃上每花費1美元,就能在直接醫療成本中獲得的更多回報,這也能增加員工在營養和健康相關主題上的知識和參與度。 雖然對有效健康溝通的需求仍然存在,但許多傳統來源正在消失。聯邦、州和地方各級對公共衛生宣導活動的投資已經縮減——或完全消失。這種空白,加上線上錯誤資訊的興起,意味著如果雇主不發聲,員工可能會轉而求助於社交媒體演算法、自封的健康影響者或播客。 雇主不能無所作為。他們必須主動找出員工面臨的緊迫健康挑戰——從精神健康問題和野火造成的空氣品質差,到GLP-1減肥藥等新療法。通過周到、引人入勝的策略,他們可以確保可信、以科學為基礎的資訊傳達給他們的員工。 在當今兩極分化的氛圍中,這可能讓人感到望而卻步,但許多雇主——和工會——已經挺身迎接挑戰。Northeast Business Group on Health的負責人Kim Thibodeaux正在優先考慮投資可擴展的方式,向雇主合作夥伴提供值得信賴的健康資訊內容。該組織代表著近80家美國最大的公司在健康方面的利益。我們正在與Kim和她的團隊合作,以全管道形式提供關於一系列主題的及時、準確、易於理解的健康資訊。 同樣,擁有超過200萬名會員的American Federation of Teachers (AFT)已經開始向其會員和公眾提供免費的線上市政廳,與主題方面的全國專家(如美國兒科學院前院長Ben Hoffman博士)討論如青少年心理健康和疫苗等主題。社交媒體被充分利用,從市政廳或問答環節中提取30-40秒的重點片段,並在Instagram、TikTok和其他社交媒體平台上廣泛分享,以提高覆蓋面。 隨著公眾信任感的減弱和傳統健康溝通管道的衰落,工作場所仍然是一個廣受信賴的空間。擁抱這項責任的雇主和工會可以成為強大的公共衛生推動者——幫助他們的人民做出明智的決定,對抗錯誤資訊,並在過程中感到被看見和支持。 通過投資於可信、有創意且前後一致的健康訊息傳播,雇主不僅有能力改善健康結果,還有能力重建對科學和機構以及彼此的信任。問題不再是雇主是否應該扮演這個角色,而是他們能以多快的速度迎接這個角色。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```
您應該服用氨基酸補充劑嗎? “`
(SeaPRwire) - 近年來,胺基酸補充劑的普及度迅速上升。社群媒體上的網紅宣傳它們,承諾可以增強肌肉、提升運動表現、促進減重、加速新陳代謝和改善精神集中度。但它們並非適合所有人。以下是關於這種潮流補充劑的須知。 什麼是胺基酸? 胺基酸是蛋白質的組成部分,共有九種必需胺基酸——組胺酸、異亮胺酸、亮胺酸、賴胺酸、甲硫胺酸、苯丙胺酸、蘇胺酸、色胺酸和纈胺酸——只能透過食物或補充劑獲得。波士頓大學的臨床營養學教授兼營養與健康播客Spot On!的主持人 Joan Salge Blake 說:「你無法在體內儲存胺基酸,所以如果你的飲食不健康,你就無法獲得身體所需的所有胺基酸。」 還有 11 種非必需胺基酸——丙胺酸、精胺酸、天冬醯胺、天冬胺酸、半胱胺酸、麩胺酸、麩醯胺酸、甘胺酸、脯胺酸、絲胺酸和酪胺酸——可以由你的身體產生。雖然每種胺基酸在體內都扮演著特定的角色,但作為一個整體,它們參與幾乎所有的生物過程,包括 、 、 和 、 以及 。 聖地牙哥的營養和健康專家兼 1,000 Waking Minutes 播客的主持人 Wendy Bazilian 說,由於它們做了這麼多不同的事情,「你需要一個良好的循環池,讓這些胺基酸在你的身體裡流動。你希望它們在你的體內,以便在你需要它們的時候可以使用。」 誰可能從補充劑中受益? 如果你攝取健康、均衡的飲食,並且不做大量的劇烈運動,你可能會從食物中獲得足夠的胺基酸。但其他人可能會受益於服用補充劑。匹茲堡的運動營養師兼 Active Eating Advice 的所有者 Leslie Bonci 說,這些人包括想要保持肌肉質量和功能並預防肌少症(一種以肌肉質量和力量喪失為特徵的與年齡相關的疾病)的老年人。 發現,服用富含亮胺酸的胺基酸補充劑八週,可以增加患有肌少症的老年人的肌肉質量、力量和功能。 運動員和其他非常活躍的人也可能受益於服用胺基酸補充劑,以促進運動後的肌肉維持和恢復。 凱斯西儲大學醫學院的註冊營養師 Lindsay Malone 將這類人稱為「隱形運動員」:從事體力要求高的工作的人,如送貨司機、建築工人、公用事業工人和攝影師。她說:「定期服用必需胺基酸有助於你的身體替換舊的或受損的肌肉,因此你的肌肉可以保持良好的運作。」 發現,服用支鏈胺基酸 [BCAAs](即亮胺酸、異亮胺酸和纈胺酸)的補充劑可以減輕運動員在阻力訓練後的肌肉損傷和酸痛。 支鏈胺基酸也已證明可以 (感覺運動有多麼劇烈),這可以幫助人們運動更長時間和更努力。 Bonci 說,正在限制卡路里攝取(因為他們正在嘗試減肥)或遵循純素或素食飲食的人也可能受益於服用胺基酸補充劑。 他們可能沒有攝取足夠的蛋白質,這意味著服用含有必需胺基酸的補充劑可以保護他們的肌肉。 Bazilian 說,無論飲食習慣或年齡如何,也有一些證據表明胺基酸補充劑可以幫助從手術或受傷中恢復的人。 她解釋說,在這些情況下,「你需要更多 [蛋白質] 的組成部分來幫助你恢復。」 發現,在骨折手術後服用胺基酸補充劑的人,在恢復期間的醫療併發症(包括手術部位感染)比那些沒有服用這些補充劑的人少。 服用它們的最佳方式 如果你有興趣服用胺基酸補充劑,最好先諮詢你的醫生,以確保它對你來說是安全的。 Salge Blake 說:「如果你患有糖尿病或肝臟疾病,你不應該服用它們。」 如果你決定繼續,Bazilian 建議尋找含有所有必需胺基酸或至少含有支鏈胺基酸的配方。 Bonci 補充說,選擇經過第三方測試和認證的產品,這些認證機構包括 NSF、Informed Choice 或 BSCG。「這意味著它已經在設施中經過測試,以確保它不含雜質」,並且它包含其聲稱的成分和效力。 胺基酸補充劑有多種不同的形式,包括粉末、膠囊、液體和軟糖。 在選擇一種之前,考慮哪種形式可能適合你的 消化系統,Bazilian 說,「並跳過那些含有人工甜味劑或其他不必要成分的產品。」 隨餐服用——理想情況下,是含有蛋白質、碳水化合物和脂肪的食物——以降低胃腸道不適的風險。 務必對這些補充劑如何融入你的生活保持正確的看法。 Bonci 說:「重要的是,人們要了解這些並不能取代蛋白質。 如果你認為只要服用胺基酸補充劑就可以吃垃圾食物,它們可能會提供一種錯誤的安全感。」 胺基酸補充劑旨在補充健康飲食,而不是取代健康飲食。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```
關於利物浦汽車衝撞事件導致數十人受傷,我們所知的一切

(SeaPRwire) - 越來越多的海外大學,特別是在亞洲,正向受 Donald Trump 禁止入學影響的 Harvard 國際學生提供轉學選擇。 Harvard 的國際學生在 5 月 22 日得知,他們一生一次在美國頂尖大學(在某些指標上,也是世界頂尖大學)學習的機會可能很快就會被縮短。Trump 政府 表示,他們正在剝奪 Harvard University 通過 Student and Exchange Visitor Program 招收國際學生的授權——這只是 懲罰該校未能充分滿足一系列要求的方式之一,這些要求主要與其多元化、公平和包容政策以及支持巴勒斯坦的學生抗議者有關。該大學現在正在與政府就試圖實施的禁令進行 ,而 Trump 週一 威脅要將 30 億美元的撥款從 Harvard 轉移到職業學校。 目前,學生可以在聯邦法官的臨時禁令下留在 Harvard。但與此同時,該校的國際學生將不得不權衡是否繼續留下,轉學到美國的另一所學校以維持他們的簽證身份,以防 Harvard 的法律挑戰失敗,或者在世界其他地方完成學業。 美國其他院校的一些國際學生,特別是那些在捐贈較少的學校就讀的學生,也開始 是否他們會成為 Trump 下一個目標。專家告訴 TIME,後果可能是美國高等教育在世界眼中的聲望下降——而其他國家的大學可能會抓住機會,吸引原本會去美國的頂尖人才。 牛津大學高等教育教授兼全球高等教育中心創始主任 Simon Marginson 說:「Harvard 吸引了來自世界各地的非常非常優秀的人才,因此失去這些人才對大學造成了相當大的損害。」 Marginson 說,近年來在全球 STEM 領域排名上升的亞洲大學將尤其受益,特別是因為美國的大量國際學生來自亞洲。 有些人已經希望這樣做了。 Hong Kong The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology 是最早向 Harvard 學生發出邀請的大學之一。該校 週五 向目前在 Harvard 就讀以及持有已確認錄取通知書的學生發出「公開邀請」,歡迎他們繼續在 HKUST 學習。 該校表示:「這項舉措是對不斷變化的全球學術格局的回應,並加強了 HKUST 對於培養多元化、世界一流學習環境的承諾。」 HKUST 表示,將向學生提供無條件錄取、簡化的入學程序和學術支持。該大學還成立了一個專門的團隊和電子郵件熱線,為受禁令影響的未來學生提供服務。 此前,Hong Kong 當局敦促當地大學向 Harvard 國際學生提供支持——這些學生佔 Harvard 學生總數的四分之一以上,其中許多來自中國大陸和 Hong Kong。 教育局局長蔡若蓮在社交媒體上發文表示:「為回應 Harvard University 招聘國際學生的禁令,教育局已立即聯繫當地大學,呼籲他們採取積極行動。」 蔡若蓮補充說,Hong Kong 各大學應利用 此時增加非本地學生的招生名額。 Hong Kong 其他當地大學也紛紛效仿:City University 表示,它正在「向面臨學術中斷的國際學生提供支持,邀請他們在 Hong Kong 繼續接受教育」,並補充說,它將邀請博士生的原始導師繼續擔任共同導師。The Chinese University of Hong Kong、Hong Kong Baptist University 和 Hong Kong Polytechnic University 也提供了類似的支持。 Japan The University of Tokyo 週一 表示,它正在考慮臨時接收被 Harvard 禁止入學的國際學生。 該大學 於 2022 年啟動了一項計劃,臨時接待因俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭而受到學業影響的學生和研究人員,包括向他們提供住宿、經濟支持和諮詢服務。 日本政府週二 指示當地大學臨時接受 Harvard 和其他美國學校錄取的國際學生,如果實施更多限制。「我們希望與相關機構合作,盡最大努力保障有抱負和才華的年輕人的教育,」教育部長 Toshiko Abe 在新聞發布會上說。 日本教育省表示,Japan Student Services Organization 將公布每所日本大學對於是否以及如何向受影響的學生提供支持的立場。 Macau Macau 教育及青年發展局(DSEDJ)呼籲 Macau 各大學為受影響的學生提供轉學支持。DSEDJ 在週六 發布的 中表示,已聯繫在 Harvard 就讀的 Macau 學生以提供幫助。 Macau University of Science and Technology 表示,歡迎 Harvard 的國際學生到該校註冊,並將以獎學金、補助金和住宿的形式提供支持。 該大學副校長 Pang Chuan 告訴 Macau 新聞媒體 TDM:「我相信 Macau 的大學是強大且有吸引力的。 現在我們需要讓這些學生知道 Macau 願意並且能夠幫助他們,並且他們在 Harvard 獲得的學分可以轉移到這裡的大學。」 Malaysia Sunway University 表示,歡迎 Harvard 國際學生「立即轉學」到該校,Sunway Education Group 的 CEO Elizabeth Lee 在 LinkedIn 上 表示。 Lee 補充說,位於 Petaling Jaya 的 Sunway University 與 Arizona State University 有合作夥伴關係,可以幫助 Harvard 學生將所有學分轉移到 ASU 或 Sunway University 的學位課程。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

As flagship events of International Healthcare Week (IHW), both ASGH and the Medical Fair brought global healthcare stakeholders together, including government officials and organisations, research pioneers, investors, and business leaders. ASGH attracted over 2,900 participants from 42 countries and regions, while the Medical Fair received some 13,000 buyers from 57 countries and regions. Over 390 one-on-one deal-making sessions and more than 660 business matching meetings were arranged, facilitating over 1,000 high-quality collaborations and connections. The IHW continues to foster global exchange and cooperation, putting a spotlight on Hong Kong’s vast potential in healthcare investment and trade, and reinforcing its position as a regional leading medical hub.Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC, said: "The Asia Summit on Global Health and the Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair concluded with outstanding results driving new collaborations and investments, and injecting new momentum into the healthcare industry. The events brought together leaders across government, business, academia, and investment to tackle today’s healthcare challenges, highlighting Hong Kong’s unique advantages as an international innovation and technology hub under its ‘eight centres’ positioning, actively advancing medical technology, connecting global innovation resources, and paving the way for a healthier and more inclusive future."Over 80 industry experts shared insights on healthcare developmentThe two-day ASGH, jointly organised by the HKSAR Government and the HKTDC under the theme ‘Fostering Global Collaboration for a Shared Future’, focused on a wide spectrum of topics including public health, medical technology breakthroughs, healthy ageing and global business and investment collaboration. The event featured more than 80 speakers comprising government officials and organisations, research pioneers, investors, and business leaders from around the world, all contributing valuable insights to advance global well-being.Prof Lo Chung-mau, Secretary for Health of the HKSAR Government, delivered a keynote speech during the Plenary Session I: Shaping a More Equitable and Sustainable Health System. Other distinguished speakers, including Dr Wu Xiaobin, Vice President of China Pharmaceutical Innovation and Research Development Association; Martin Taylor, Representative to China, World Health Organization; Prof Nancy Ip, President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; and Frédéric Rimattei, Special Envoy for International Affairs of the President of French University Hospitals National Association, shared their insights on tackling global healthcare challenges, offering inspiration for the international healthcare community.In Plenary Session II: Fostering Global Collaboration for a Shared Future, speakers engaged in a lively discussion on trends in global healthcare collaboration. Among them was Ambassador George Hara, Group Chairman and CEO of DEFTA Partners and former Special Advisor to the Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister of Japan, who remarked that more advanced technology and new government regulations are needed to reach a compromise between companies' profits and patients' needs.During the Dialogue with Global Pioneer in Health session, Prof John Hardy, Chair of Molecular Biology of Neurological Disease of UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, shared his latest research findings and advanced developments in Alzheimer's disease.The summit co-organised sessions under the overarching theme, Shaping the Future of Healthcare, with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology for the first time. The discussion focused on the potential of AI in healthcare and how innovation could drive breakthroughs in the field. Dr Alex Ng, President of Tencent Healthcare, commented: “One uniqueness of tech companies is that they can be easily distracted by the latest thing. But you do need companies with patience and perseverance to stay in healthcare and make it work.” Prof Graham Cooke, Vice-Dean (Research) Medicine of Imperial College London, also noted that embedding patient needs into healthcare systems is critical, as many innovations fail in translation due to a lack of this focus, with universities playing a key role as innovation drivers.In Beyond ‘Healthy China 2030’: Driving Health Innovation, speakers explored opportunities in the mainland healthcare market. Marc Horn, Executive Vice President of Merck and President of Merck China, highlighted the two-phase approach of "China for China" followed by "China for the globe”, emphasising healthcare collaboration to develop advanced treatments for global benefit. Dr Zhang Lianshan, Executive Vice President of Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., stated: "We would like to see our health innovation have realisation of its value, not only in China, but also outside of China. That is why we are talking about Globalisation, where we can achieve maximum value."With growing global attention on healthy ageing, the summit introduced a dedicated Silver Health Chapter. A highlight was the thematic session titled Surfing the Silver Tsunami: Advancements in Geriatrics and Longevity Technology, where Prof Jean Woo, Director of Chinese University of Hong Kong Jockey Club Institute of Ageing, Prof James L. Kirkland, Director of Cedars-Sinai’s Centre for Advanced Gerotherapeutics, and fellow experts explored both the challenges and opportunities posed by ageing populations. Prof Jean Woo highlighted that rapid population ageing is reshaping the global healthcare and socioeconomic landscape. As a city with one of the world’s longest life expectancies, Hong Kong must take early action to strengthen elderly care policies and better allocate health resources. Prof James L. Kirkland also noted that geriatricians ultimately aim to help patients with multiple illnesses reduce medication use while treating their conditions more effectively, enhancing their overall quality of life.Over 390 deal-making sessions and cooperation agreements open new global opportunitiesA key feature of the summit was the ASGH Deal-Making session, which facilitated one-on-one meetings both online and offline, aiming to connect investors and projects in the healthcare sector from around the world to promote global collaborations. Investment projects spanned pharmaceuticals, medical devices and diagnostics, smart healthcare, and community health and wellness and more than 390 one-on-one meetings were successfully arranged for angel investors, venture capitalists, corporate venture arms, private equity firms and family offices.The summit facilitated the signing of cooperation agreements, such as those between Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong and Emerging Viral Diagnostics, and a tripartite collaboration with PanopticAI and SmartCare, HKSH Medical Group and United Imaging Healthcare, China Resources Guangdong Pharmaceuticals and Hong Kong Medtech Association, Hugobiotech and Bridgeway Healthcare Technology, Canossa Hospital and KA Imaging, and others. These agreements covered diverse healthcare areas, including patient care, diagnostic solutions, innovative medical devices, medical imaging and more. Under the tripartite collaboration agreement between Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong, PanopticAI, and SmartCare, the integration of PanopticAI’s camera-based vital signs monitoring technology and SmartCare’s patient-centered consultation platform will be implemented into Gleneagles clinic in the future.In addition to its discussion sessions, the summit also featured the ASGH Business Hub, showcasing more than 170 innovative technology companies related to the healthcare industry from 13 countries and regions, including the mainland (Shanghai and Xiamen), Australia, and Thailand, presenting projects and solutions across key areas such as medical innovation, smart healthcare, AI, big data, telemedicine, and cybersecurity. Zhong Wei, Co-founder of Mitrassist Lifesciences, joined the Shanghai Pavilion and said that ASGH helped them bring non-invasive medical monitoring technologies to Southeast Asia, Africa, and other Belt and Road Initiative countries.Medical Fair Drives Industry Innovation and Fosters Business CollaborationThe Medical Fair, organised by the HKTDC and co-organised by the Hong Kong MedTech Association, was held alongside ASGH. The Association—formerly known as the Hong Kong Medical and Healthcare Device Industries Association—held a renaming ceremony during the fair, showcasing the deep integration of medical technology and the industry.The fair brought together some 300 exhibitors from 13 countries and regions, featuring first-time pavilions from the United Kingdom, Thailand and Israel, along with debut exhibitors from Singapore, Germany, Italy and Luxembourg. In addition, seven local universities, over 30 innovative technology companies at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks pavilion, and more than 20 medical enterprises brought by the Hong Kong MedTech Association participated. The Hong Kong Council of Social Service also participated in the fair for the first time. Under the theme Innovations Boosting Smart Health Experience, the exhibition spotlighted three major areas: MedTech, GeronTech and green solutions, with many exhibits featuring applications of AI.Many exhibitors and buyers successfully expanded their networks and forged new partnerships at the exhibition. Among them was Hong Kong exhibitor Eieling Technology, a company founded to commercialise research outcomes from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The firm showcased its non-invasive liver examination technology, which utilises transient elastography technology. Co-founder and CEO Xiaojia Jia noted that only about four companies worldwide possess this technology, making it a major draw for buyers. "During the exhibition, we received intention orders worth several million Hong Kong dollars from mainland China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Thailand, involving around ten devices. This is our third year participating, and we've observed a significant rise in buyers' professionalism during our discussions. We look forward to exhibiting again next year."Karel Lee, CEO of Neoneco from Korea, sourced innovative medical products at the fair with a minimum budget of USD100,000 and he has already identified RhinoCare, an exhibitor from the Israeli pavilion, for its nasal decongestion device, and is also interested in a medical examination device from a Hong Kong exhibitor. Lee stated, "The exhibition allows us to meet with exhibitors face-to-face, build trust, and accelerate the decision-making process. The HKTDC’s Click2Match platform also facilitated efficient business matching. I have already connected with ten exhibitors, and another twenty reached out to me after learning about my sourcing needs. This is one of Asia's premium medical sourcing events, and we will definitely return next year."Beyond business deals, insightful forums were arranged during the Medical Fair to give inspiration to industry buyers. These included The Latest Development of Regulatory Collaboration on Medical Devices in the Greater Bay Area, The MedTech Nexus of the Greater Bay Area, co-organised with the Hong Kong MedTech Association, and Fostering Silver Economy, Leading Quality Elderly & Rehabilitation Care Practices, co-organised with the HKCSS. These forums attracted a strong attendance and offered valuable insights into healthcare. Selected sessions are available for replay on the Fair’s website for extended engagement.This year’s Fair continued to adopt the EXHIBITION+ hybrid model.

消息來源:聯想之星、君聯資本微信公眾號香港, 2025年5月27日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 5月27日,聯想控股(3396.HK)旗下君聯資本及聯想之星共同投資的慢病創新藥企業派格生物醫藥(02565.HK)在香港聯交所成功上市。招股期間,派格生物醫藥香港公開發售認購額達到743.78倍。派格生物醫藥成立於2008年,是一家專注於自主研究及開發慢性病創新療法的生物技術公司,重點關注內分泌代謝領域。派格生物醫藥針對慢病領域未被滿足的臨床治療需求,利用自主開發的技術體系,設計和篩選具有「新靶標、新位點、新機制」的創新分子實體,形成優勢互補、多重獲益的產品管線。依靠高效及經驗豐富的研發團隊,通過自主研發,開發了一系列包括多肽藥物、蛋白質藥物及小分子藥物在內的優勢產品。派格生物醫藥構建了以代謝性疾病為核心,廣泛覆蓋多種慢病的研發管線,公司已自主開發一款核心產品及其他五款在研產品,以把握2型糖尿病(T2DM)、肥胖症、代謝功能障礙相關脂肪性肝炎(MASH)、阿片類藥物引起的便秘(OIC)及先天性高胰島素血症等常見慢病及代謝疾病的巨大市場機會。按照公司規劃,治療2型糖尿病的PB-119預計將於2025年上半年獲准在中國上市。這也意味著,派格生物醫藥即將成功實現商業化落地。作為創新藥企業,派格生物醫藥始終堅持自主研發,截至最後實際可行日期,公司擁有83項專利和專利申請,包括與核心產品有關的13項專利和15項專利申請,且所有重大專利及專利申請均為自有,臨床候選藥物均來自公司的HECTOR®平台及聚乙二醇(PEG)化技術。對此,聯想之星總裁、主管合伙人王明耀表示,「祝賀派格生物成功上市,聯想之星有幸長期陪伴並與其一路成長。在多年深耕中,派格生物最終做出令人驚嘆的國產創新好藥。憑借深厚積累和技術優勢,相信他們在生物醫藥行業能夠繼續創造出更大的價值。」聯想之星與派格生物結緣可追溯到2010年,當時聯想之星已經成立了當時國內最大的天使基金,並且將生物醫藥當作重點方向之一進行投資佈局。作為蘇州工業園區為發展生物醫藥產業而建立的專業科技創新載體 - 蘇州生物醫藥產業園,自然成為聯想之星重點關注的對象。巧合的是,派格生物剛好是最早一批入駐這個園區的企業。這家專注於慢性病創新療法的生物技術公司,正好符合聯想之星的投資主題。與派格生物接觸的過程中,聯想之星發現對方自主開發的GLP-1受體激動劑 - PB-119,不僅能治療2型糖尿病及肥胖症,而且與同類產品相比效果更好、成本更低。當時,僅中國的糖尿病患者人數就已經達到數千萬。有數據顯示,2021年,中國糖尿病發病人數就已超過400萬,患病總人數超過1.17億,死亡人數超過17.8萬。其中,2型糖尿病是最常見的糖尿病類型。更為重要的是,派格生物創始人徐敏擁有哥倫比亞大學生物物理學博士學位,並且在《科學》等期刊上共發表六篇文章,還曾經長期在中國生物醫藥行業做過風險投資和項目孵化,工作和管理經驗相當豐富。據聯想之星合伙人陸剛回憶,「不管是在藥物研發上的嚴謹和扎實,還是擁有非常清晰的商業意識,亦或是對市場競爭情況以及藥物未來市場定位的精准判斷,徐敏都給我們留下了深刻的印象。」再加上合適的價格,聯想之星很快便做出投資派格生物的決定。2011年,聯想之星在對方新一輪融資中投資了120萬美元,與此同時,派格生物也成為聯想之星真正意義上投資的第一個生物醫藥項目。三年後,這家公司不僅已經在國家十二五規劃「重大新藥創制」科技重大專項的政府支持下啓動PB-718的研發項目,而且這款產品還獲得I期臨床試驗的IND(新藥臨床試驗申請)批准。當派格生物需要資金支持時,聯想之星又及時伸出援手,果斷於2014年追加投資了對方100萬美元,讓派格生物成為自己的第一個追投項目。此外,除了通過整合中國科學院與聯想控股強大的導師和資源的「聯想之星創業CEO特訓班」幫助徐敏提升創業理念和管理能力,聯想之星還積極為派格生物對接君聯資本等投資方來解決對方發展所需的資金問題。隨著上市鐘聲的響起,聯想之星也在長期的陪伴中,獲得了13倍的投資回報。王明耀表示,聯想之星更加看重的是,派格生物不僅成功穿越了多個週期,最終還做出了令人驚嘆的國產創新好藥,「一方面,體現了聯想之星深耕生物醫藥行業的巨大價值;另一方面,這家公司的成功為生物醫藥行業提供了借鑒價值。」在聯想之星的積極對接之下,聯想控股旗下君聯資本亦於2014年、2016年兩次投資派格生物醫藥,一路支持公司發展。投資後,君聯資本在高管招聘、後續融資、BD合作等方面為派格生物醫藥提供了幫助。對於派格生物醫藥的成功上市,君聯資本表示祝賀,並認為公司從創立初期發展至今,實現了里程碑式的跨越。君聯資本表示,見證了公司在慢病創新藥研發領域的深耕與突破,此次成功登陸港交所不僅是市場對派格生物醫藥技術實力與長期價值的認可,更是中國創新藥發展的更進一步。公司看好派格生物醫藥上市後將進一步釋放產品及研發潛能,加速惠及全球患者。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
GMG Announces Internal G(R) Lubricant Testing Results Showing 10% Fuel Savings and 33% Reduction in Particulate Emissions
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 27, 2025) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the following internal GMG run engine test results when G® Lubricant was added to a Caterpillar 22 kVA diesel engine run at an 80% Load. Test results show a 10% increase in energy efficiency (kwh/litres), and also a 33% reduction in harmful diesel engine exhaust particulate matter emissions, when three doses of G® Lubricant, with a maximum graphene dosage of 0.03%, was added to the standard diesel engine oil.It is noted that the test engine was not operating optimally before G® Lubricant was added - the engine was overheating at long runs of sustained high loads. As a result, after the initial dose of G® Lubricant was added, an additional two dosages of G® Lubricant were used to hopefully bring the engine into a more stable operating regime, an outcome that was generally achieved.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/253490_gmg_image.jpgBuy Now at: www.G-Lubricant.com Figure 2 and 3 show the table and graph distribution of engine efficiency of the various dosages of G® Lubricant versus the baseline.Baseline Diesel Engine OilEngine Efficiency (kwh/litres)G® Lubricant (0.01%)Engine Efficiency (kwh/litres)G® Lubricant (0.02%)Engine Efficiency (kwh/litres)G® Lubricant (0.03%)Engine Efficiency (kwh/litres)3.043.36 (10% increase)3.35 (10% increase)3.36 (10% increase)Figure 2: Engine Efficiency Performance Increase from G® LubricantFigure 3: % Distribution of Fuel Efficiency Relative to BaselineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/253490_d626526a342c2ac9_005full.jpgFigures 4 and 5 show the table and graph distribution of diesel engine particulate matter emissions of the various dosages of G® Lubricant versus the baseline.Baseline Diesel Engine OilParticulate Matter (ppm)G® Lubricant (0.01%)Particulate Matter(ppm)G® Lubricant (0.02%)Particulate Matter (ppm)G® Lubricant (0.03%)Particulate Matter (ppm)20.9715.56 (26% reduction)14.55 (31% reduction)13.97 (33% reduction)Figure 4: Engine Emission Particulate Matter Reduction from G® LubricantFigure 5: % Distribution of Particulate Matter in Emissions Relative to BaselineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/253490_d626526a342c2ac9_006full.jpgFigure 6 shows the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine at various dosages of G® Lubricant, versus the baseline which shows similar levels as the baseline test runs.

This oil change was carried out by a professional engine maintenance service company.The engine was run at 80% load and the baseline and G® Lubricant data set used for the analytics is when the maximum ambient temperature for the day was less than 33 degrees Celsius and relative humidity was between 50% and 80% with no rain. Fuel consumption for diesel engines changes when operating in rain or very high humidity or temperatures, so the fuel consumption data baseline and G® Lubricant engine oil additive performance testing were excluded for these times.Only steady state data was used and so any variance or anomalous data seen in either baseline or G® Lubricant datasets were removed from the analytics. Data sets were grouped into minute blocks.Once the baseline fuel tests were completed, G® Lubricant with approximately 1:100 concentration was mixed at approximately 1% ratio by weight into the existing engine oil. This was done another 2 times. The end ratio of GMG's Graphene to the diesel engine oil was approximately 3:10,000 by weight.GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "G® Lubricant is not only increasing fuel efficiency it is also reducing particulate matter - which is amazing to see - we will need to do more tests to see what the long-term performance is for this."GMG is continuing to conduct more tests to determine the total performance regime of the G® Lubricant. These performance tests will be announced as the information becomes available.GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "Fantastic news - G® Lubricant testing data are exciting - well done to the team - showing great promise as a way to reduce fuel costs and emissions across the multi-trillion dollar liquid fuels industry."About GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases.
