Abacwaningi ukufundisa izinja ukuxilonga Parkinson

Dogs - kuba umngane womuntu hhayi kuphela engcono, kodwa futhi abasizi esisemqoka ezimweni eziningi. Ngokwesibonelo, ngeviki elizayo, ososayensi sethula iphrojekthi entsha, ogama njongo - ukufundisa labradors futhi Cocker spaniel ezimbili ukuhlukanisa phakathi iphunga labantu abaphethwe isifo i-Parkinson. Ukuze wenze lokhu, izinja kufanele uhlole iphunga amadoda 700 ukuqaphela molecule evelayo emzimbeni abantu ngaphambi kokuba baqale ukwakha Parkinson.

Izici yephrojekthi entsha

Lolu hlelo ubudlelwano phakathi Manchester University nocwaningo yi esiza abantulayo Medical Ukuthola Dogs. izinja abathathu ukuhogela iphunga amasampula bese abacwaningi zisebenzisa i-mass spectrometer ukuhlonza molecule ukunquma "iphunga Parkinson." Izinja kuyodingeka bafunde ukuhlukanisa i-molecule ngamunye onjalo, okuyinto abacwaningi kungathola.

"Bheka, iphunga Parkinson '

Ukuxhumana phakathi iphunga elithile futhi lesi sifo neurodegenerative yasungulwa eminyakeni eminingana edlule sibonga Dzhoy Miln - oTharithani, ine umuzwa emangalisayo ojulile iphunga. Wabona ushintsho iphunga isidumbu somyeni wakhe iminyaka eyisithupha ngaphambi yaba uphawu lesi sifo.

amakhono Injabulo zahlolwa endaweni yokucwaninga. Wanikwa ihembe ukugqokwa amadoda ayisithupha isifo, kanti ezinye eziyisithupha eqenjini control. Injabulo wathi eziyisikhombisa kuzo 12 abantu kwakufanele "must" ekhethekile, futhi wayeqinisile, ngoba omunye amalungu eqembu ukulawula sekuphele izinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili kwatholakala ene-Parkinson.

Okwamanje, abacwaningi abazi ukuthi iyiphi molecule banesibopho nephunga eyinqaba, SaseMilne ezitholakele. isikhumba uketshezi aqukethe zishintshe ezahlukene ezingaphezu kuka-9000, ngakho-ke kunzima ukukhomba usosayensi ethile. Yingakho banquma ukusebenzisa izinja.

Lokho kusiza izinja ukuhlonza iphunga

Izinja ukuthi uphakathi Medical Ukuthola Izinja, eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-10 oqashwe ucwaningo umdlavuza. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona izifundo ezingaphezu eqinisekisa ikhono izinja ukuthola izifo ezithize. Njengoba amaphesenti angu-30 ubuchopho izinja esetshenziswa ukuhlaziya amaphunga, bakwazi nabo ezikhathini 40 esebenza kahle ngaphezu kwalokho abantu.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ekhaleni inja liqukethe kwezigidi ezingu-300 ama-receptor olfactory, uma kuqhathaniswa namaphesenti angu-5 ku abantu. Konke lokhu kunikeza abangane bethu ubuka amakhono Amazing uma kuziwa ekufuneni iphunga othize, noma ngabe imperceptible kuya Ikhala lomuntu.

indlela esheshayo isifo i-Parkinson ukutholwa iphunga, ososayensi banethemba lokuthi, kuzosiza ukwenza uphethwe ngokushesha nangokuqondile. Nakuba isifo i-Parkinson namanje isifo esingalapheki, kodwa ekuhlonzweni nasekwelashweni Ukuqalwa ukwelashwa kusaqalwa kwenza kube nokwenzeka ekudambiseni izimpawu.
