BBC News: 癌癥血檢新方法

Hello, I'm Neil Nunes with the BBC News.

大家好，我是我是尼爾·努內(nèi)斯，歡迎收聽BBC新聞。

Scientists have taken a step towards one of the biggest goals in medicine, a universal blood test for cancer. A team at Johns Hopkin University in United States has tested a method called CancerSEEK on a thousand patients to see if it could detect 8 types of the disease. The test showed us success rate of 70%. Rates of detection were lowest when the cancer was at an early stage. The doctor Nickolas Papadopoulos who led the study said it offered great hope. We would like to detect them in stage I but even if we detect them in stage II, the chances of these individual surviving are higher than waiting for this cancer to become stage III or so. So it's not bad that it can detect the cancer even if it's not at the earliest stages.

科學(xué)家在醫(yī)學(xué)領(lǐng)域又邁出一大步，這也是醫(yī)學(xué)幾大目標(biāo)之一，他們發(fā)明了一種廣泛適用的癌癥血檢方法。約翰斯·霍普金斯大學(xué)的一個(gè)科研小組用一種名為“CancerSEEK”的方法，在一千名癌癥患者身上檢測了8種類型的癌癥，檢測結(jié)果顯示成功率為70%。癌癥早期的檢測成功率最低。這項(xiàng)研究的負(fù)責(zé)人尼古拉斯·帕帕佐普洛斯博士表示，研究成功給人們帶來了巨大的希望。我們希望我們能在病人的第一階段診斷出來，但即使發(fā)展到了第二階段，病人存活的機(jī)會(huì)比第三階段更大一些。盡管不是最早階段，但能夠診斷出來還是非常欣慰的。

The parents accused of holding their 13 children in shackles at their California home have pleaded not guilty to charges of torture, abuse and forced imprisonment. The children are rescued after one escaped through a window of their house，east of Los Angeles. A District Attorney Mike Hestrin said the children of David and Louise Turpin were found severely malnourished with brain and nerve damage. He said they have suffered frequent brutal punishments. The victims report that as the punishment starting many years ago, they began to be tied up first with ropes and then when that victims were able to escape the ropes, these defendants eventually began using chains and padlocks to chain up the victims to their beds for weeks or even months at a time.

加州兩名家長被指控在家中囚禁13名兒女，他們遭到虐待和強(qiáng)迫監(jiān)禁指控，二人拒不認(rèn)罪。其中一名兒童逃脫，并解救了其他兒童，他們的住所位于洛杉磯東部。一名地區(qū)檢察官麥克·海斯特林表示稱，特平夫妻二人的孩子患有嚴(yán)重的營養(yǎng)不良，大腦和神經(jīng)受到了傷害，而且還經(jīng)常遭到無情的懲罰。受害者表示他們的父母在很多年前開始懲罰他們，開始的時(shí)候用繩子綁住他們，后來隨著他們有了掙脫繩子的能力，被告就開始用鐵鏈和鎖把他們綁在床上，每次長達(dá)幾周甚至幾個(gè)月之久。

The US House of Representative has passed a bill to temporally fund the government operations for a month and avoid to shut down federal agencies when their existing funding expires this weekend. But the bill must still be approved by the Senate where it faces uncertain future. The Republicans do not have enough votes but Democrats are refusing to support any bill that doesn't include protection for undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children.

美眾議院通過臨時(shí)法案，以此保證政府再繼續(xù)維持一個(gè)月的時(shí)間，政府運(yùn)營資金將于本周末到期，此舉將避免政府關(guān)門。但是這項(xiàng)法案還要經(jīng)過參議院通過，還有很大的不確定性。共和黨沒有足夠的選票通過，民主黨表示如果法案不能保護(hù)非法移民，這些移民是孩童時(shí)期進(jìn)入的美國，那么他們將不會(huì)投下贊成票。
