益生菌跟ADHD 之間的關係 The Relationship between Gut Micro-organisms and ADHD
ADHD是由遺傳和環境因素所造成的疾病。有新研究顯示，一些ADHD患者的腸道微生物群落失衡。今次有請香港中文大學生物醫學學院教授及副院長（研究）徐國榮教授為大家揭開，腸腦軸背後的神秘面紗，討論腸道微生物失衡對ADHD患者的潛在影響，並講解ADHD患者在正確使用益生菌對他們的幫助。
ADHD is a complex disease contributed by both genetic and environmental factors. Emerging evidence has shown that some ADHD patients have an imbalance in the micro-organism communities in their gut. In this talk, Professor Stephen Tsui will unveil the mystery behind the gut-brain axis and discuss the potential influence of gut micro-organisms on ADHD phenotypes. Finally, the modulation of the imbalance in gut micro-organisms using probiotics in ADHD patients will be reviewed. The goal of this webinar is to provide useful hints for the proper use of probiotics in ADHD patients.
徐教授曾在多本國際期刊發表逾240篇學術論文，包括自然期刊、新英格蘭醫學雜誌、柳葉刀雜誌、美國國家科學院院刊、循環醫學雜誌、過敏及臨床免疫學期刊、Genome Biology等。除了傳染病，徐教授的研究興趣還包括，神經發展疾病的診斷以及腸道微生物與人類疾病之間的關係。他於2019年在發展遲緩及學習障礙的基因研究領域上，獲得由食物及衛生局頒發的卓越研究獎。
Tsui Kwok-Wing, Stephen is currently a professor and the Associate Director (Research) in the School of Biomedical Sciences of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). In 1995, he received his Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry at CUHK. He was then appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry in 1997 and promoted to the full professorship in 2004. During the SARS outbreak in 2003, his team was one of the earliest teams that cracked the complete genome of the SARS-coronavirus.
Prof. Tsui has published more than 240 scientific papers in international journals, including Nature, New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, PNAS, Circulation, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology and Genome Biology. Besides infectious diseases, his research interests also cover the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental diseases and the relationship between gut microbiome and human diseases. In 2019, he got the Excellent Research Award from Food and Health Bureau on his genetic research about developmental delay and learning disabilities.
