【美台醫學研究合作新里程碑】

近年來肺癌及上呼吸道癌症病率不斷上升，為美國和台灣癌症死亡率最高的癌症。2019年美台簽署了肺癌及上呼吸道癌症研究的合作協定，由 #美國國家衛生研究院、#台北榮民總醫院 和 #國立陽明交通大學共同參與此項研究計畫，並在台灣建立了#史蒂芬索拉茲國際研究實驗室。

該合作突顯出東西方肺癌及上呼吸道癌症患者的差異，並加速開發診斷、治療和預防肺癌及上呼吸道惡性腫瘤的新方法。這些惡性腫瘤每年在全世界共造成200萬人死亡。臨床試驗即將在美國國家衛生研究院臨床中心與台北榮民總醫院同時展開。美國國家衛生研究院臨床中心是世界上從事醫學研究最大的專門醫院，台北榮民總醫院也是亞洲最大、最負盛名的醫院之一。

美國在台協會很高興於9月24日在見證了這個位於台北榮民總醫院的國際實驗室正式啟用。這類型的國際科學合作不僅將造福於人類，而且還提供訓練給肺癌及上呼吸道腫瘤醫學和轉化性癌症研究人員。

The number of people diagnosed with thoracic cancer has been increasing in recent years and its mortality rate is the highest in the United States and in Taiwan. In 2019, the United States and Taiwan signed an agreement to collaborate on thoracic cancer research and establish the Stephen J. Solarz International Research Laboratory in Taiwan. This international standard laboratory will conduct research to characterize distinct features that cause thoracic cancers in Asian versus Caucasian patients and accelerate the development of novel methods to diagnose, treat, and prevent thoracic malignancies that collectively account for two million deaths a year worldwide. Clinical trials will begin simultaneously at the U.S. National Institute of Health Clinical Center, the largest hospital in the world dedicated solely to medical research, and Taipei Veterans General Hospital (TVGH), one of the largest and most prestigious hospitals in Asia, in the near future. On Friday, AIT Economic Officer Neevy Laningham participated virtually in a ceremony to launch the Stephen J. Solarz International Research Laboratory, located in TVGH. This U.S.-Taiwan collaboration will not only benefit patients but will also provide training to future researchers in thoracic oncology and translational cancer.

Watching the World Change
"Looking at this image today, I take a step back and see it as an artifact, reflecting not solely on that horrific moment and seconds to follow, but at the 20 years that have since passed by which have changed the way we see and interact with our city, with our world and its people."

How does the Paralympic classification system work?
帕運的分類系統如何運作?

classification 分類
athlete 運動員
cornerstone 基石/基礎
eligible 有資格的
impairment 損傷/損害
prowess 高超的技能

Like the Olympics, the Paralympics are taking place a year after originally planned because of the delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
如同奧運，由於新冠肺炎大流行造成延誤，帕運比原計畫晚了一年舉行。

According to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), there are 2550 male and 1853 female athletes taking part in Games, which run from August 24 to September 5.
根據國際帕運委員會(IPC)的統計，從8月24日到9月5日舉行的帕運，有2550名男性運動員和1853名女性運動員參與。

"Classification is the cornerstone of the Paralympic Movement, it determines which athletes are eligible to compete in a sport and how athletes are grouped together for competition,' says the IPC.
IPC說:「分類是帕運的基石，它決定哪些運動員有資格參加某項運動，以及如何分組參加比賽。」

What makes a Paralympian?
是什麼造就一位帕運運動員?

Paralympians are grouped together by the "degree of activity limitation resulting from the impairment," according to the IPC.
根據IPC的說法，帕運運動員是根據"因損傷導致的活動受限程度"來分組的。

As different sports require different physical demands, the IPC says the classification process "aims to minimize the impact of the impairment on athletes' performance" so that their athletic prowess is showcased.
由於不同的運動項目需要不同的身體需求，IPC表示分類的過程中，旨在"最大限度減少損傷對運動員表現造成的影響"，以便展示他們高超的運動技能。

What do the classes in each sport mean?
每項運動的分類代表什麼?

The class groups athletes with similar athletic limitations so that they can compete to similar levels, but does not necessarily have to solely group athletes with the same eligible impairment.
分類會將具有相似運動限制的運動員分組在一起，讓他們以相似的水平競爭，但不一定必須將具有相同缺陷條件的運動員分在一起。

Because some impairments progress over time, athletes can change classification over time.
由於一些損傷會隨著時間流逝而有進展，因此運動員可以隨著時間而更改分類。
