五合一藥丸 心血管病減半

在「美國心臟醫學學會」會議提出的新研究報告說，把3種舊式降血壓藥、一種降膽固醇藥和阿司匹靈結合為一的「超級藥丸」，可以使心血管疾病減半。

研究人員在印度對2,053人進行3個月實驗，把這種五合一藥丸與另外8種療法的效果加以比較。這些人都不是心臟病患，可是擁有至少一種形成心血管問題的危險因子。

「超級藥丸」的成分包括低劑量的阿司匹靈、司他汀類降膽固醇藥Zocor，以及3種降血壓藥（thiazide、atenolol和ramipril）。

這是首次對結合若干藥物主成分的多效藥丸（polypill）進行評估，以了解人體對其容忍度，並測試這種產品能否對可能引起心臟病的危險因素造成重大改變。

主持研究的加拿大麥克馬斯特大學研究員尤塞夫說：「吃一顆藥就可減少多種心血管疾病風險的可能性，引起熱烈反應，並可能使預防心臟病出現革命。」

研究結果發現，服用這種藥丸的人，血壓和膽固醇含量都顯著降低，使心臟病發作的風險降低60%，中風的風險減少50%。

尤塞夫說，人體對這種藥丸容忍度很高，也沒有因攝取多種藥物的主成分而出現問題，事實上有些成分會互相抵銷彼此的一些副作用。

高鐵接駁公車 增開中壢80班

高鐵桃園站自4月1日起，除原桃園免費接駁公車外，新闢往返中壢市區接駁公車路線，兩路線合計一天開出160班次，平均15分到35分一班車。非高鐵旅客，客運業者將依搭乘起迄區間收費。

中壢客運經理黃俊琪指出，公司將以3輛43人座大巴士和1輛21人座中巴，作為高鐵桃園站到中壢市區的「快捷公車」。旅客從中壢搭車往高鐵站免費，如果中途下車，就要收費（以一段公車費率計算為18元）。反之從高鐵站搭車到中壢市區也是免費，如果中途上車，同樣要收費。

高鐵桃園站說，「高鐵快捷公車」比現行「高鐵免費快捷專車」提供「高鐵桃園站─桃園市桃客總站」路線一天96班次。新增1條往中壢市「高鐵桃園站─中壢總站」路線一天80班次，配合高鐵列車到站時間，平均約15分至35分一班車。

配合高鐵列車最晚班車，快捷公車末班車於23時45分開出。

養小孩的錢誰出？

【聯合報╱Wenjung（台北市）】
2009.03.26 03:38 am

小薰是不想要小孩的頂客族，但之前我們聚餐時，她說和老公已經改變想法，決定還是要有個小孩。
有三個小孩的敏敏立刻提醒她，小孩的花費到底要怎麼分擔，要先談個一清二楚，不然以後一定會為錢爭吵。
敏敏接著很哀怨的對我們說，她在生了兩個女兒後，本來不打算再生，但在老公堅持下，還是拚了一個兒子。
原本老公只負責房貸，家用都是敏敏負擔，只有和婆家聚餐時，老公才會掏腰包。而生了三個小孩之後，敏敏要照顧小孩還要上班，實在太累了，打算辭去工作在家帶小孩，愛面子的老公也很爽快的答應了，還很瀟灑的說：「本來妳就可以在家當少奶奶的，是妳自己怕無聊才要去上班的呀！」
剛開始敏敏還用自己的積蓄來支付開銷，但幾個月後就必須要老公負擔全部的花費。一家五口的生活費十分驚人，像她老公這種吃飯不知米價的人是無法想像的，所以一年多後，他就不斷質疑敏敏，說她花錢如流水，對小孩有求必應，不知賺錢的辛苦。
敏敏其實已經能省則省，但她知道一定得快點上班，才能減輕家裡的壓力，所以在小孩上托兒所後，她又再回到職場，但她老公算盤打得很精，說是敏敏自己不想在家帶小孩，因此安親班和課後托育的費用都是多花的，而鋼琴、美勞等才藝課，也只是滿足大人的虛榮心，如果因沒時間自己做飯而要外食的話，也是敏敏造成的，所以這些錢全都要她負擔。
可想而知，敏敏的薪水全部用在小孩身上，自己都不敢買衣服、化妝品，但老公的電腦卻不斷升級，遊戲軟體買個不停。
敏敏訴完苦，嘆了口氣說：「大家都說愛小孩，但看看多少離婚夫妻為了小孩的撫養費上法庭，就知道要達成小孩花費的共識，是多麼困難啊！」

味精與高鮮味精(上)

有些人食用含味精的菜餚後，會出現頭痛、心悸、嘔吐等現象，以致一般人認為味精有害健康。味精真的有害嗎？新近出現的高鮮味精又是什麼？它能取代味精嗎？味精的成分為麩胺酸鈉鹽。麩胺酸是一種胺基酸，為構成蛋白質的原料，廣泛存在於天然蛋白質食品，如乳酪、豆類、玉米、番茄、素肉及素火腿中含量皆不少。早期的味精是由海藻或植物中萃取，現在多是利用發酵方式生產。某些人在食用含有味精的菜餚後，出現頭痛、胸悶、惡心、嘔吐、心悸、臉潮紅、腹痛，甚至氣喘情況加重等不適症狀；尤其是平常不食用味精的外國人，更常在吃了含味精的中國菜後出現這些現象，早期西方醫學界便將這些症狀歸因於食用了中國餐館大量使用味精的食物，因而稱為「中國餐館症候群」。

有些研究認為，這可能是因為麩胺酸是神經系統中一個重要的神經傳導物質，而對麩胺酸比較敏感的人，或許因體內麩胺酸濃度增加，刺激部分的神經系統，而引起一些反應。不過，近年來也有研究顯示，味精與中國餐館症候群並不完全相同，一些不適者可能是對食物中的其他成分過敏而歸咎於味精。事實上，味精中的麩胺酸鈉是食物中的天然成分，也是人體中的組成成分，食入人體之後的代謝就是一般胺基酸的代謝，因此味精對一般人應該是無害的。不過，除了前述對味精敏感的人之外，病況控制不良的氣喘患者，味精會加重氣喘症狀，因此食用時須特別小心。(……待續)

Yushan a frontrunner for natural wonders list

Yushan (Mt. Jade), a major natural landmark in Taiwan and the highest mountain in northeast Asia, presently ranks among the frontrunners to make a list of the world's seven natural wonders.

The Yushan National Park Administration nominated the mountain to represent Taiwan in a selection by people around the world via the Internet.

The worldwide polls are held by a foundation based in Switzerland to select seven world wonders in the categories of landscape, sea view, island, mountain, cave, forest, and lake on earth.

Yushan has defeated more than 1,000 nominated natural wonders to rank among the top 261 places on the overall list in the first round of voting.

A total of 77 natural wonders — 11 in each of the seven categories — will be picked out of the 261 places in the second round of balloting that will conclude on July 7.

The Web site for the worldwide voting is http://www.new7wonders.com/
Officials at the Yushan National Park Administration said about 40,000 people scale Yushan every year and close to 20 percent or 8,000 mountain climbers are from abroad.

They said people should give their ballots to the more friendly and reachable mountains rather than the inaccessible ones, on which most people have no chance to set foot.

Italy dig unearths female 'vampire' in Venice

An archaeological dig near Venice has unearthed the 16th-century remains of a woman with a brick between her jaws — evidence, experts say, that she was believed to be a vampire.
The skeleton was found amid other corpses buried in a mass grave during an epidemic of plague that hit Venice in 1576.
During epidemics, diggers of mass graves would sometimes find older bodies that were bloated, with blood seeping out of their mouth and with an inexplicable hole in the shroud used to cover their face.
Modern forensic science shows the bloating is caused by a buildup of gases, while fluid seeping from the mouth is pushed up by decomposing organs.
At the time however, "scientific texts" taught that "shroud-eaters" were vampires who fed on the cloth and cast a spell that would spread the plague.
To kill the undead creatures, a stone or brick had to be forced into the vampire's mouth so that it would starve to death.

The polar oceans are not biological deserts

The polar oceans are not biological deserts after all.

A marine census released recently documented 7,500 species living in the Antarctic and 5,500 in the Arctic, including several hundred that researchers believe could be new to science.
Most of the discoveries were simpler life forms known as invertebrates, or animals without backbones.
Researchers, for example, doubled the number of jellyfish-like Arctic ctenophore known to science from five to 10. One of those was the size and color of an orange, had bungee cord-like tentacles streaming off it and was living at a depth of two kilometers.
"The textbooks have said there is less diversity at the poles than the tropics but we found astonishing richness of marine life in the Antarctic and Arctic oceans," said Victoria Wadley, a researcher from the Australian Antarctic Division who took part in the Antarctic survey. "We are rewriting the textbooks."

The survey－which included over 500 polar researchers from 25 countries－took place during International Polar Year which ran in 2007-2008.

New technology helped make the expeditions more efficient and productive than in the past. Researchers used cell-phone-like tracking devices, for example, to record the Arctic migration of narwhals, a whale with a long twisted tooth, and remotely operated submersibles to reach several kilometers down into the oceans to study delicate marine animals that are impossible to collect.

Locally developed device offers hope for aortic dissection patients

Some 28.5 percent of patients with the condition known as aortic dissection who make it to surgery die. But now patients may have a greater chance of survival if surgeons have access to a device that cuts operating times and limits the loss of blood.

The head of the local surgical team that developed the device, Dr. Jeng Wei, director of the Heart Center at the Cheng Hsin Rehabilitation Center in Taipei, said he has used the device, called the vascular ring connector (VRC), with positive results on a total of 20 patients.

In 2006, the VRC became the first implanted cardiovascular device developed by Taiwanese researchers to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Wei and his team then submitted the device for approval in Taiwan before using it successfully on patients.
Aortic dissection is a condition in which a tear occurs in the aorta's inner lining, often caused by a sudden surge in blood pressure. Blood then flows between the wall's layers and forces them apart.

"The surgical risks of the (traditional) suturing method are very high due to the fragility of the dissected aorta," Wei noted.
"The VRC allows surgeons to do a quick sutureless anastomosis in less than two minutes, compared with the conventional suture technique that generally takes more than 30 minutes," he said.

2009春裝colorful穿搭

春夏最時尚 就是紅！
http://mag.udn.com/mag/happylife/storypage.jsp?f_ART_ID=181574
繽紛的季節來到！靛藍、玫瑰紅、紫羅蘭、灰色、亮橘色……都是今年春夏不能錯過的焦點！我們從暖色系中挑出紅與橘、中性色系中的藍和綠、寒色系中的紫色，讓你迅速瀏覽最新春裝趨勢。
紅色系就像是時尚界在春天綻放的花朵，美麗得讓人難以忽視。
但設計上要如何凸顯？達人說，今年很流行混搭和拼接的元素，像是條紋×水玉、花×格子，或異材質的拼接，都很有今年春夏的味道！
另外，一些漸層、手染的圖案，也是很不錯的選擇。格子和海軍風也是今年春夏重點，重點色為白、藍、紅，但要有小物搭配會更出色，像圍巾不只是保暖的工具，在春日更是裝飾的利器。

藍色 春天的我穿上天空
http://mag.udn.com/mag/happylife/storypage.jsp?f_ART_ID=181575
抬頭仰望晴朗的天空，就會想到藍……春天的藍沒有冬日的憂鬱，而是飽和的靛藍、淡淡的天空藍……讓人不自覺輕盈了起來。
少了點繁複，達人認為春日衣裝的隨興剪裁，可以有舒適俐落的感覺，而素色的服飾是任何風格都不可或缺的關鍵。
以美系品牌ALTERNATIVE來說，單品多為飽和度高，帶點復古洗舊感的單一色系，加上貼身及個性剪裁，特殊的織法和純棉的舒適質感，不管是當外衣或內搭都很適合。
若不想只有簡單的色系，配件就是能讓衣服活出另一種味道的重點。今年很流行很搶鋒頭的腰帶，使用異材質和各種圖案的拼接最夯。

粉紫、深紫 女人質感加分
http://mag.udn.com/mag/happylife/storypage.jsp?f_ART_ID=181577
今年春天的時尚，紫色占有一席之地，不管運用在什麼服飾上，紫色總是讓女人多了一份成熟的質感。
褪去了神秘的基調，粉紫、紫羅蘭……不管是應用在基本的T恤，或是貴氣十足的禮服，呈現出的味道，就是多了份拒絕淘氣的質感，吸引眾多女人的目光。
有些元素，是春天少不了的，時尚界總是一玩再玩，拼湊出最新穎的，但又似曾相識的紋路。達人表示，手染感的漸層、水玉、變形蟲……是每季不可或缺的元素，若是在圍巾用上這些元素，就能讓枯燥乏味的裝扮加分。

綠&黃色 我是復古春神
http://mag.udn.com/mag/happylife/storypage.jsp?f_ART_ID=181579
黃與綠的螢光色調，在今年春夏依然很夯，營造復古又不失流行的質感。
春天，絕對少不了黃色和綠色，那種完全自然、純淨的的視覺觀感，穿上身讓人眼睛一亮。
飽和色系的應用，在近年的復古風潮下多了分科技質感，達人表示，80’s style還是很夯，今年很多品牌都運用了珍珠光澤的布料，甚至搭配上螢光色，營造80年代的復古風格，此外Oversize的外套也是古著感的好幫手。
色系之外，達人叮嚀美眉不能忘記裝飾性強的腰帶，他表示，腰帶也是本季很重要的流行元素，尤其是用一些寶石、金屬、羽毛、流蘇等等誇張裝飾的腰帶，是改變一成不變裝扮的救星。
