Smart Metabolism Monitoring Platform Unlocks the Code of Chronic Disease
In recent years, many studies have shown that energy metabolism imbalance is closely related to a series of major chronic non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and aging. Strengthening basic research on the body's energy metabolism regulation mechanism is a response The key to the challenge of chronic disease.
A few days ago, Shanghai Ruijin Hospital’s Smart Metabolic Module Research Center, which has 10 smart metabolic modules with different functions, officially launched the world’s largest digital energy metabolism monitoring platform. This is also the world’s first smart metabolism monitoring platform and the world’s first environmental simulation energy metabolism monitoring platform. The single largest and most influential smart metabolic cabin platform.
Can meet various metabolic related scientific research needs
According to statistics, there are currently about 80 research-type metabolism chambers for human metabolism research in the world, mainly distributed in North America, Europe and Asia.
The intelligent metabolic capsule owned by the Intelligent Metabolism Chamber Research Center of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital has the largest number of monomers in the world.
Unlike other metabolic cabins that have a single function and only receive the subjects’ metabolic indexes in one direction, Ruijin Hospital’s intelligent metabolic cabin can receive physiological parameters, biochemical indicators and even psychological parameters. It can even change environmental factors and impose stimulation conditions to achieve the same The two-way interaction of the people.
According to reports, the metabolism cabin is divided into standard metabolism cabin, resting metabolism cabin, and environmental simulation metabolism cabin according to functions to meet various scientific research needs.
In the standard metabolic cabin, subjects can eat, sleep, and exercise in the cabin. Researchers collect the slight changes in the body's exhaled carbon dioxide and inhaled oxygen content under different external interventions in a non-sensory way, and then analyze and determine the body's dynamic metabolic rate. The general experiment duration is 24-72 hours.
The resting metabolism chamber is also known as the "food thermal effect metabolism chamber", which can quickly detect changes in the human body's weak metabolic rate. The general experiment duration is half an hour to 2 hours.
In addition to all the functions of the standard metabolism cabin, the environmental simulation metabolism cabin can also accurately simulate the oxygen partial pressure state at different altitudes through the oxygen concentration control device, so as to realize the relevant research of the body's energy metabolism in the longitudinal space environment.
Demystifying the complex relationship between human metabolism and chronic diseases
Energy metabolism generally refers to the process of release, transfer, storage and utilization of energy accompanying the process of material metabolism.
In recent years, many studies have shown that the imbalance of energy metabolism is closely related to a series of major chronic non-communicable diseases (hereinafter referred to as chronic diseases) such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and aging, and strengthen the regulation mechanism of energy metabolism of the body The basic research of China is the key to coping with the challenge of chronic diseases.
Chen Erzhen, vice president of Ruijin Hospital, said that to grasp the laws and risk factors of diabetes among Chinese people, and to propose how to maintain a correct and scientific lifestyle, these studies are simple to say, but not easy to advance.
Now with this intelligent metabolic monitoring platform, the code for the occurrence and development of more diseases will be unlocked, and better intervention strategies will be proposed to help the construction of a healthy China.
At present, the platform has completed version 1.0 of the Chinese population metabolism measurement standard; an early disease warning model has been established to lay a foundation for exploring the pathogenesis of the disease; through the intelligent metabolic detection system, it provides a basis for precise diagnosis and individualized treatment of diseases.
