【A Decade of Support, Empowering Academic Growth】Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of CU Medicine’s Academic Career Development Programme (ACDP)!

Navigating the landscape of academic research and higher education is both immensely rewarding and inherently challenging. For early-career academics stepping into this arena, having clarity and strategic guidance is vital to building a sustainable, impactful career.

To address this, the Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CU Medicine) established the Academic Career Development Programme (ACDP)—an initiative dedicated to empowering junior faculty members as they map out and advance their academic trajectories. Beyond offering practical insights, ACDP serves as a vital networking platform, bridging disciplines and bringing together like-minded scholars who often become lifelong research collaborators and teaching partners.

Last Saturday, we marked a significant milestone by successfully organising the 10th ACDP Workshop, which welcomed 70 newly appointed and academics. Over the past decade, ACDP has attracted more than 500 attendees in total.

Reflecting on the core mission of the programme, Professor Albert LI, Co-Convener of ACDP, shared: "Academia can be truly overwhelming, especially with the uncertainties that lie ahead. The whole idea of this workshop is to provide a platform to share essential insights, helping you navigate these challenges, build a strong foundation, and thrive in your academic journey."

Professor Wai Yee CHAN, Founding Convener of ACDP, echoed these sentiments, emphasising personalised professional growth: "We all know there is no single formula for a successful academic career. Each person brings unique strengths, aspirations, and backgrounds. We hope this programme helps participants develop not only a stronger portfolio but also a career path that is purposeful, sustainable, and true to their own values. It is our goal to provide greater clarity about where they are and the practical steps needed to move forward with confidence."

In his address, Professor Philip CHIU, Dean of CU Medicine, reaffirmed the Faculty’s steadfast commitment to nurturing the next generation of academic leaders: "Our goal is to help you swim further and then fly. This is an important programme, and I want to reassure our young talents: you are never alone—we always achieve greater heights together. At CU Medicine, we deeply treasure our talents, and we rely on you to lead the way forward.”

A decade of dedication, a shared vision for the future. CU Medicine remains committed to supporting our academic community and fostering the next generation of leaders in medicine and healthcare!

【人為何難以一心二用❓】過去數十年,科學家們一直探究箇中原因。有學者認為,大腦的「中央瓶頸」機制(Central Bottleneck)限制多任務處理的能力;亦有人指出,不同任務需要競爭有限的神經資源。然而,兩種觀點均未能完全解釋大腦如何協調不同任務之間對神經資源的競爭,以及練習如何令原本容易受到相互干擾的系統,逐步提升同時處理多任務的效率。

中大醫學院生物醫學學院柯亞教授及城大神經科學系容永豪教授共同領導的一項研究,揭示了大腦如何透過動態調整及重組神經資源,學習提升同時處理多個任務的能力。

透過實驗小鼠雙重任務訓練,並在過程中追蹤同一組單神經元,研究團隊發現當小鼠同時處理兩項任務時,並非單純受制於大腦的中央瓶頸機制,而是當大腦初期察覺不同的任務需要競爭腦神經資源,會進行協調工作,隨着學習逐步動員更多具任務專用的神經元,並使不同任務的神經表徵逐漸分離,以提升多任務處理效率。

團隊指出相關生物神經機制有助於訓練人工智能系統同步處理多個事項的能力。成果已發表於頂尖神經科學期刊《神經元》(Neuron)。

【Can you perform two tasks at the same time❓】For decades, scientists have debated whether multitasking is limited by a “central bottleneck” that restricts simultaneous processing, or by competition for limited neural resources shared across tasks. But neither view fully explains how the brain manages these competing demands or how practice transforms an interference-prone system into more efficient multitasking.

A study co-led by Professor KE Ya, from the School of Biomedical Sciences at CU Medicine and Professor YUNG Wing-ho, Chair Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at CityUHK, has uncovered how the brain dynamically manages and reorganises its neural resources when learning to multitask.

By tracking individual neurons throughout dual-task training in mouse models, the researchers found that multitasking is not governed by a fixed bottleneck. Instead, the brain initially combines resource competition with neural coordination, then progressively recruits more task-specific neurons and separates task representations through learning, enabling more efficient parallel processing.

The researchers highlighted that these biological insights could also inform and optimise artificial intelligence training for multitasking. The findings have been published in the leading neuroscience journal Neuron.

【醫者仁心🩺阮文賓教授 】「點知當年呢個手術一定成功?佢哋而家喺度,唔係奇蹟,係我哋堅持嘅答案。」

在1970年代,香港的兒童癌症治療方法相對落後,治癒率極低。醫者的抉擇與堅持,往往能為瀕臨絕望的家庭帶來改寫命運的曙光。中大醫學院兒科學系榮休教授阮文賓教授,親口講述當年如何排除萬難推動骨髓移植、完成香港首宗兒童骨髓移植手術,並分享他一生奉獻兒童癌症治療的動人故事。

回顧當年,國際間的癌症治療已迅速發展,骨髓移植並非新奇科技,但香港在這個領域上卻仍是一片空白。阮教授意識到必須追上時代腳步,即使面對重重困難與各方疑慮,他的心中依然只有病人的生死:「如果不做,孩子連生存的機會都沒有。」

1991 年,阮教授懷著無畏的勇氣與前瞻視野,成功完成了香港首宗兒童骨髓移植。令人感動的是,當時的骨髓移植中心並非由政府或大學獨立出資建成,而是靠著全港市民熱烈響應、一分一毫籌集起來的。這座由全港市民共同為病童築起的生命避風港,此後順利完成了數百宗移植,將香港的兒童癌症治癒率及醫療水平一舉推向世界前列。

「治療的最終目的,是讓他成為一個健康正常的成人,重新融入社會。我們絕不能只是把病治好就算,更要對病人負起責任。」

阮教授深知,癌症治療與骨髓移植的過程極其漫長而艱辛。放射治療與化療對兒童身體會造成長期影響,甚至損害記憶與學習能力,日後患上二次癌症的風險亦高於常人,因此長期的追蹤與復康非常重要。此外,許多基層病童出院後居住空間狹窄,免疫力尚未恢復極易出現嚴重感染。為了給孩子一個安全平靜的康復環境,團隊籌款租用房間供病人暫住;後來阮教授更積極推動制度改革,引入「麥當勞叔叔之家」,為無數抗癌家庭在最艱難的時刻提供溫暖的後盾。三十多年過去了,當年那些在病房外聽著孩子抽骨髓而痛心疾首的家長,以及如今早已長大成人的康復者,依然深深感恩這位「救命恩人」。

回首數十年醫術生涯,阮教授常跟學生與同事強調:「一個機構裡面,最重要嘅就係人才。一又係人才,二又係人才,三又係人才。」在病房裡,阮教授總是第一個入病房、最後一個離開,用心觀察每個病徵,用真誠與病童及家長建立互信。他帶領醫療團隊、教導一代又一代的醫學生,把對生命的敬畏與堅持深植在每位後輩心中。

【早診早治逆轉關節骨侵蝕】類風濕關節炎因為自身免疫系統誤打關節滑膜引發炎症,困擾全球數以十萬人。病人如果錯失發病首兩年治療黃金期,炎症侵蝕骨骼令關節變形,長遠損傷將無法逆轉。中大醫學院首創利用高解析度的三維影像電腦斷層掃瞄技術「HR-pQCT」,為類風濕關節炎病人展開長達8年的骨侵蝕追蹤研究。

團隊發現「HR-pQCT」可診斷出掌指骨極微細骨侵蝕情況,有助醫護更準確排除非炎症引致的骨侵蝕情況。追蹤研究更揭示,類風濕關節炎病人即使出現大型骨侵蝕,如早於初發時已接受達標治療,骨侵蝕可望逆轉。

團隊正計劃將「HR-pQCT」納入類風濕關節炎早期評估研究,發展以影像學為基礎的風險分層模型,期望日後可利用「HR-pQCT」檢測出未有臨床症狀的高風險個案,或已有症狀的初發類風濕關節炎患者,以達致早診早治目標,令病人免受關節受損無法逆轉之苦。

【Early detection & treatment reverse bone erosions】Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects millions worldwide, causing joint pain and damage if not treated early. Missing the critical two-year window after symptoms appear can lead to irreversible harm.

Good news for RA patients! CU Medicine has pioneered the use of high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), an advanced 3D imaging technology, to track bone erosion in RA patients over an 8-year follow-up study. This breakthrough study found that HR-pQCT can accurately distinguish harmless small erosions from those caused by inflammation, helping doctors provide more accurate and timely intervention. Remarkably, more than half of patients with significant erosions experienced improvement when treated early with the “Treat to Target” therapy.

The team is now working to integrate this technology into routine RA screening to achieve “early detection and early treatment”. The findings have been published in the international journal, Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.

【終身健康管理】香港人壽命居世界前列,但「長壽」不必然等同「健康長壽」。面對愈來愈長的人生旅程,如何減少帶病和失能的歲月、維持身心健康,已成為每個人及每個家庭的重要課題。

為回應百歲人生帶來的健康挑戰,中大醫學院副院長(教育)黃仰山教授聯同李錦滔教授及梁堃華醫生主編《終身健康管理:家庭醫學如何應對百歲人生》。新書從家庭醫學全人、全程及預防為本的角度出發,協助讀者在不同生命階段建立可持續的健康管理習慣。

三位主編早前於香港書展舉行新書講座,並邀請中大醫學院內科及藥物治療學系吳傑聰醫生及王珏醫生參與,圍繞女性健康、心血管—腎臟—代謝(CKM)風險及心理健康展開對談,與讀者共同探討如何為自己和家人做好終身健康管理。

講座伊始,主編李錦滔教授指出延長健康歲月(Healthspan)的真正關鍵,不在於我們能活到多少歲,而是在於如何縮短晚年殘疾、患病的時間,這正是每個人的課題。
隨後,黃仰山教授聚焦於現代人最易忽視的心理健康議題。黃教授表示,情緒病在香港相當普遍,約13%的成年人受其困擾,但社會對情緒病的誤解,讓不少患者延誤求診。他解釋情緒病的成因複雜,嚴重壓力並非引發抑鬱的唯一因素,遺傳、生活環境、荷爾蒙等也是觸發抑鬱症的成因。「家庭醫生是守護情緒健康的第一道防線,及早求助家庭醫生,有助預防和改善情緒問題」。

黃教授補充,規律運動、充足睡眠、均衡飲食及建立良好人際連結,亦是具成本效益的壓力管理策略。

除了心理健康,同場的講者亦就女性健康及慢性病方面傳授寶貴醫療知識。王珏醫生以高居香港女性癌症首位的乳癌為例,提醒大家透過建立身體自我認知與定期篩查,早期乳癌的五年存活率可高達86%。吳傑聰醫生則分享了心血管—腎臟—代謝(CKM)症候群所反映的相互關聯風險,不少患者是從肥胖開始,最終影響心腎功能,並再三強調均衡飲食與適量運動是守護健康的關鍵。

現場讀者不時就篩查、情緒困擾及日常生活習慣提問,反映大眾對如何在繁忙生活中實踐健康管理有殷切關注。

健康不是一朝一夕的努力,而是終身累積的資產。讓我們從今天開始好好管理健康,裝備自己和家人應對百歲人生。

【心臟自己會「搭橋」?】冠心病是引致心臟死亡的主要原因,一旦病發就急需「通波仔」或開胸「搭橋」保命。不過,原來人體心臟自帶「天然搭橋」機制,冠狀動脈一旦栓塞,側支動脈就成為繞道恢復供血。至於側支動脈從何而來,卻一直都是科學界不解之謎。

中大醫學院與中國科學院團隊利用全新技術,率先揭示心臟側支動脈是源於心臟毛細血管,而非動脈本身。當「主幹道」冠狀動脈出現栓塞時,如同「小巷」的毛細血管就會迅速啟動升級改造,拓寬加固成側支動脈,成為一條具動脈結構及功能的繞道,為受損心肌重新輸送血液和養分。

團隊更發現,血管內皮生長因子VEGFA成解鎖此小巷升級改造工程的關鍵,為冠心病患者開創一種新治療方向。是次研究已於頂尖科學期刊《科學》發表。

【A natural bypass in the heart?】Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of heart disease-related deaths. When a coronary artery becomes blocked, life-saving procedures like balloon angioplasty or open-heart bypass surgery are urgently needed. Remarkably, some individuals possess a natural bypass in their heart. When a main coronary artery is obstructed, collateral arteries can reroute blood flow around the blockage to restore circulation. However, the origin of these lifesaving natural bridges, has long remained a mystery.

A research team led by CU Medicine and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has now uncovered how this natural bypass forms. Using novel technology, they demonstrated for the first time that when the main coronary “highways” are blocked, tiny capillaries—the “narrow alleyways” in the heart—can transform into collateral arteries. These new pathways act as emergency bypasses, restoring blood flow to ischaemic regions.

The team identified vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) as the master driver of this process. This discovery overturns the long-held belief that new arteries arise from pre-existing arteries, opening a new avenue for treating ischaemic heart disease. The findings were published in the premier academic journal Science.

俠醫仁心(67):細O組聚
中大醫學院院長趙偉仁教授

1980年代我在「克己復禮」中學讀完中六後,幸運地通過「暫取生」制度進入「博文約禮」的山城大學,心情既興奮又緊張。當年中大醫學院1年級名為「醫學預科」(pre-medicine),主要修讀自然科學,課餘時間相對充裕,我會盡量參加醫學院和大學書院舉辦的學生活動,廣結朋友。

中大書院和醫學院學生活動頻繁,縱使醫學院課程緊密,亦不愁沒有參加者,因醫學院連結學生、跨越時代的人脈網絡非常強,而這些友情網絡亦包括支援後輩學習、「船王」學生筆記及舊試卷的答案分享等。我深受師兄師姊影響,在醫學生生涯中參與和領導多項活動,包括成為迎新營輔導員,以及策劃迎新營的醫學院院會康樂事務委員。

那些年入讀醫學院,首個活動便是迎新營(orientation camp)。中大擁有像牛津、劍橋的書院制度,每個學生除了修讀本科,亦會修讀各大書院的通識課程。迎新營可分為大O、細O,書院舉辦的稱為大O,學院舉辦則名為細O。年輕時我性格比較「I」(introvert),沒有膽量參加人多勢眾,與來自五湖四海、不同學系新生交流的大O。醫學院的細O卻不能錯過,在沒有互聯網的時代,細O是認識中大醫學院的第一步;離開中學步入大學後一切重新開始,必須抓緊認識新同學的好機會。

三日兩夜的細O迎新營,在馬鞍山烏溪沙青年新村舉行。當年馬鞍山沒有高樓大廈,從中大到馬鞍山最快捷方法,是乘坐渡海小艇到達烏溪沙碼頭。迎新營充滿着各種各類活動,但最重要是廣交新朋友和師兄師姐。現在回想,當年在細O結識的同學,變成了我在醫學生涯中並肩作戰的伙伴。

我在2年級成為細O輔導員,協助組爸、組媽迎新。現在回想都感到驚訝,因組員包括了現任中大醫學院副院長吳兆文教授(Simon)和威爾斯親王醫院神經外科組主任陳達明醫生(Danny)。數日的迎新營令我們變成好朋友,而小組亦成了一個家庭,組爸、組媽被稱為「爸爸」「媽媽」,我則成了他們的「表哥」。

Simon出類「拔萃」,成績名列前茅,畢業時以考試第一名獲取外科金牌,畢業後與Danny一起加入外科學系大家庭。雖然我比他們早一年加入外科,但在漫長培訓過程中,大家不時互相扶持和合作。當年前線醫生巡病房都是親筆寫下病人病歷和醫治方法,護士負責執行醫生指令,難看的「醫生字」令護士們常常像猜燈謎般推理估算,唯有Simon的手筆工整得令人驚歎,簡直就像打印出來,見字如見人。

今年3月,突然收到細O組員在社交通訊平台號召「組聚」,難得重聚機會怎能放過。簡單的晚餐連結着深厚友誼,細O組媽預告她明年退休,然而較組媽年輕的組員卻早已享受相夫教子、退休般的家庭樂。亦有組員成為顧問醫生或部門主管後,多年來仍然堅持留在公立醫院服務病人。Simon便是其中最活躍的表表者,他還肩負領導醫學院學生事務的重任,亦是開創亞洲首個「環球醫學領袖培訓課程」主導者之一。Simon一直保持培育優秀學生成為醫學領袖的初心,縱使他已是享譽國際的結腸外科及手術機械人權威,仍然身體力行,每星期親自帶領學生臨牀小班教學。每年8月在醫學院迎新日,Simon致辭時都寄望學生能盡情享受中大校園裏多姿多彩的生活。

我相信每一個學生入讀醫學院後,最緊張必定是考試日子。30多年前有幾名中大「準醫生」參與一個電視訪問,記錄了他們畢業時在臨牀考試、放榜及成為實習醫生的真實情况。這個訪問成為醫科生畢業前必看經典,當中兩名「男主角」就是Simon和Danny。訪問中記錄了Danny對1995年畢業的同學說:「(醫療)制度未必像我們預期般理想,但我希望大家要以自己的標準,堅定成為自己心中理想的好醫生。」這句說話正好呼應我每年以「我心中的好醫生」為題,希望學生在追尋醫學專業知識的道路上,別忘記保持謙虛,銘記「以病人為中心」的初心。

【香港首例】盆骨骨折向來是骨科最具挑戰且高失血風險的創傷之一,對體質虛弱的長者更是致命威脅。中大醫學院開創本港先河,率先利用創新骨科機械人手術系統,於今年6月成功進行香港首例機械人輔助盆骨骨折復位固定微創手術。中大骨科團隊至今已在威爾斯親王醫院為三名盆骨骨折患者完成手術。

隨着人口急劇老化,盆骨脆性骨折日趨常見,每年估算約有 2,000 人出現盆骨脆性骨折。由於盆骨解剖結構複雜,且鄰近重要神經及血管,手術難度極高。傳統開放式手術存在大量失血及軟組織併發症等固有風險,許多體質虛弱的長者因為無法承受大手術,被迫選擇保守治療而長期臥床,隨之引發肺炎、壓瘡、或靜脈栓塞。數據顯示,此類患者一年內的死亡率高達15%。

臨床顯示,與傳統開放式手術相比,新技術不僅提升骨折復位的精確度,手術失血量更由傳統手術的1公升大減至10至20毫升,減幅近9成;手術傷口也由傳統的10厘米減至不足2厘米的微創切口,大大減輕疼痛並降低感染風險。患者術後都恢復理想,新技術為高齡及嚴重創傷患者帶來安全、精準的治療,也為本地創傷治療寫下新里程。

團隊現正積極與機械人創新夥伴及國家骨科醫學中心北京積水潭醫院合作開發結合人工智能的下一代外科技術用於臨床治療,期望可惠及全球骨折患者,當中包括正研發全新的人工智能模型,期望在進行複雜的骨折固定手術時,能即時運算出最佳的螺絲配置與置入軌跡。

【Hong Kong’s first】Pelvic fractures are among the most challenging orthopaedic trauma injuries. Carrying a high risk of massive bleeding, they pose a potentially life-threatening threat—particularly to frail elderly individuals. CU Medicine has recently introduced a novel orthopaedic robotic surgical system in Hong Kong, performing the city's first robotic-assisted, minimally invasive pelvic fracture reduction and fixation surgery. The CUHK orthopaedic team has completed three successful procedures at Prince of Wales Hospital since June this year.

Due to the rapidly ageing population, fragility fractures of the pelvis have also become increasingly common, with an estimated 2,000 cases occurring annually in Hong Kong. Operating on these fractures is a highly complex, skill-dependent procedure due to the proximity of critical neurovascular structures. Conventional open surgeries are known to carry inherent risks of severe blood loss and soft tissue complications. Many frail elderly patients, who cannot tolerate major surgery, rely on non-surgical treatments. However, the resulting long-term immobilisation often triggers severe complications, including pneumonia, pressure sores, and deep vein thrombosis. Data show that the one-year mortality rate for such patients reaches approximately 15%.

Compared to conventional open surgery, clinical results demonstrate that this novel procedure significantly improves fracture reduction precision while dramatically reducing intraoperative blood loss by nearly 90%—from 1 litre down to just 10–20 ml. Surgical incisions are also drastically reduced from the traditional 10 cm to minimally invasive incisions of under 2 cm, significantly alleviating post-operative pain and lowering infection risks. Patients have shown promising recovery trajectories, offering a safe, precise treatment option for geriatric and severely injured patients and marking a new milestone in Hong Kong's trauma care.

To further advance surgical innovation, the CU Medicine team is collaborating closely with its robotic innovation partner and Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, the National Orthopaedic Medical Center. Together, they are developing next-generation AI-integrated surgical technologies designed to establish new clinical standards and benefit fracture patients worldwide. Building on this milestone, the team is developing new AI models to instantly compute the optimal screw tract configurations for complex fracture fixations.
