口腔所進食的食物，途經各器官後便會來到小腸，絕大部份的營養最終將透過空腸(Jejunum)進入血液循環系統裡頭，再分配予各身體細胞；679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBoMRNEWk6
我們的空腸內壁擁有著絨毛狀的結構(villi)，將大大增加遇上及吸取營養的效率，以達其消化及吸收營養的重任。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIXtu8OFnB

患有短腸症候群(Short Bowel Syndrome，每年約每一百萬個小童便有三名患者)或其他腸道疾病問題的兒童，因著空腸長度有機會出現過短的狀況，很多時候下並沒能夠吸取足夠營養支撐正常成長。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t5TlddHJV

嚴重的情況，便需要進行器官移植。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPCmwpQuD9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ZyzOk7s9
只不過，適用的器官並不是話來就來，而且亦有不少個案出現器官排斥問題，引發一連串的併發症。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTz2L0mZwV

（圖3）為了紓困現狀，有科學家在近日發表文章（Ref1)，嘗試提出方法解決現時所面對的困局–679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrJ2M62DN6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqBeZvQyr9
抽取患者的腸道細胞，以體外的方式在實驗室進行培植，製造出新一條的空腸。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vgT7Ucrd3
而因著器官是由患者本身的細胞而來，出現排斥的機會亦順然大幅度能夠減低下來。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jdalqNlkV

這次研究中，他們找來了28名歲數從3個月大至15歲的小童，從某部份的病人體內拿取2mm左右的腸道樣本，在實驗室內培植兩個月左右的時間，得出俱備空腸功能的類器官679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWisavnHUnN
(Organoid);679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZcC6nORMV
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOgipmDwWA
類器官可看成為半完成物，有著器官的關鍵功能，但外貌及個別特徵始終與完整器官差天共地。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzycZcDFFl5
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73FkTVK9li
同時間，他們亦拿取病人腸道一小節，把所有的細胞清除得一乾二淨，用作為日後移植用的基座(Scaffold)。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSCGVXFtbc
之所以要沿用病人的腸道作為基座，原因是病人腸道本質上有著引導類器官繼續發展成型的能力，而這種本質現今科技上還沒能完完全全利用其他物料成功複製出來。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2TnjStjB9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNKcKOjerL
他們把類器官培植在基座上一段時間後，再嘗試移植到老鼠身體上，箇中亦證實得到類器官在老鼠體內擁有發展成為腸道的能力。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1bJJUzLHs
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF38zWKXK1
將類器官移植回到病人體內這一步，無疑還有一段距離才能實行。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQc716GuoT
但這研究在老鼠身上所得出的成果，至少證實得到這個大方向是有著實際應用上的可行性，並非紙上談兵風花雪月，而是為日後實際套用在病人方面上奠下了一重要的理論基礎。679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT2mjrzhpt
