ic spotlight Integration of ENGINEERING and MEDICAL SCIENCE 工程與醫學的綜合性發展 If you think this robotic hand is a prop or gadget for Arnold Schwarzenegger or for Steven Spielberg’s new film, you’ve got it wrong! This is just a novel design for hand-functions training by integrating engineering and medical science. 如果你以為這機械手是亞諾舒華辛力加或史提芬史匹堡的新電影中的道具玩意 , 這就大錯特錯了 ! 這其實是綜合了工程與醫學技術而設計和製造的上肢訓練系統。 8 IC Newsletter
It’s all about integration. After centuries and centuries of development, our knowledge in many traditional disciplines has reached a level where breakthroughs in individual disciplines are becoming more and more difficult to achieve. Yet, active and rapid developments since the last century were seen in one area – the integration of disciplines. New developments and breakthroughs have been achieved by integrating the knowledge of two or more traditional disciplines. Biomedical engineering is one of these. Biomedical engineering is a discipline that encompasses both engineering principles and human life science with the aim of advancing and developing knowledge in bioinstrumentation, biomaterials, medical devices and bioinformatics for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation and to improve health. Health issue is one of the top concerns of modern humans. The increasingly aged population in our community also creates a niche for biomedical engineering. Ten years ago, the Industrial Centre had already started collaborating with various medical and rehabilitation departments in PolyU and other universities on their medical and rehabilitation R & D activities, with our knowledge and experience in industrial engineering. Fruitful results were achieved. 是一個以綜合為本的年代。這人類社會經過了多個世紀的發展和進步 , 許多傳統和固有的學科知識已經達至一個極難突破的階段。然而自上世紀起 , 在一些跨學科中卻出現了許多嶄新和快速的知 ic spotlight 識和技術發展。新的突破 , 在綜合了兩門或以上傳統學科而產生的新學科上紛紛出現。生物醫學工程便是其中之一。生物醫學工程是一門綜合工程理論和人類生命科學的學科 , 目的是推動和發展在生物儀器、生物材料、醫療設備和生物信息學等方面的知識 , 以協助疾病的預防、診斷和治療 , 令病人康復和改善健康。現代人類都非常注重身體健康 , 加上老年人口數目不斷增加 , 令生物醫學工程成為近年其中一門最炙手可熱的學科。工業中心早於十多年前已開始與理大及其他大學的醫學、醫療及復康學系合作 , 利用工程技術的知識和經驗配合學系的科研項目發展。近年在一些發展領域上取得豐碩的成果。 A medical research funded by the General Research Fund (GRF) on continuous distraction osteogenesis carried out by the Faculty of Dentistry of the Hong Kong University (HKU) has adopted an auto-driven distraction system designed and made by PolyU’s IC to aid the treatment course. The widely accepted distraction rate for intermittent distraction is around 1.0 mm/ day. Rapid distraction may delay bone healing and cause injury. The research project therefore aims at developing and applying an auto-driven distraction system incorporated with a memory chip for continuous distraction osteogenesis and assessing the possibility of shortening the treatment course. A rabbit model of mandibular lengthening is taken to evaluate the healing processes. Auto-driven Distraction System 自動化牽引成骨系統 An auto-driven distraction system incorporated with a memory chip for continuous distraction osteogenesis 以微處理器控制的系統協助持續性牽引成骨技術 Patent pending 專利申請進行中 This project will be completed by 2010. The Principal Investigator of this project is Professor CHEUNG Lim-kwong, Chair Professor of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Hong Kong while IC’s Senior Engineer Ir Martin WONG and Engineer Ir Jasper WONG are Co- Investigators of the Project. The IC has been collaborating with the Faculty of Dentistry of the Hong Kong University for many years by adopting various industrial engineering processes and technologies, in particular the rapid prototyping technology, to assist their research and applications in oral and Principal Investigator 首席研究員 Professor CHEUNG Lim-kwong Chair Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery The University of Hong Kong 香港大學牙醫學院口腔頜面外科講座教授張念光教授 maxillofacial surgery with fruitful results. The Auto-driven Distraction System is a continuation of the collaboration between the IC and HKU’s Faculty of Dentistry on distraction and other medical science projects. Distraction osteogenesis is a controlled surgical procedure that initiates a regenerative process and uses mechanical strain to enhance the biological responses of the injured tissues to create new bone. 香港大學牙醫學院口腔頜面外科獲大學教育資助委員會優配研究金資助 , 正進行一項有關縮短牽引成骨治療所需時間的研究項目 , 項目採用了由理大工業中心設計及製造的一套自動化牽引系統。工業中心簡訊 9
