一名费城男子因骑车事故瘫痪 恢复了行走能力 在一种实验药物帮助神经重新生长后 A Philadelphia man paralyzed from a biking accident regained walking ability after an experimental drug helped nerve regrowth.

一名58岁的费城男子Larry Williams在一次山地骑车事故后重新恢复了行走的能力,他从脖子上摔断了颈部。 A 58-year-old Philadelphia man, Larry Williams, regained the ability to walk after a mountain biking accident paralyzed him from the neck down. 在一次临床试验中,他每天注射NVG-291,一种实验性peptide药物,阻塞抑制神经再生长的信号。 In a clinical trial, he received daily injections of NVG-291, an experimental peptide drug that blocks signals inhibiting nerve regrowth. 经过三个月的治疗和物理治疗,他从45秒内行走10米改进到15秒。 After three months of treatment and physical therapy, he improved from walking 10 meters in 45 seconds to 15 seconds. 即使停止了毒品之后,他仍继续取得进展,在没有援助的情况下站立起来,并抬起以前不可能完成的脚步任务。 Even after stopping the drug, he continued to make progress, achieving unassisted standing and lifting his foot—tasks previously impossible. 研究人员说,这种药物可以提供一种安全的、由家庭管理的替代干细胞疗法,并不断进行研究以评估长期效益。 Researchers say the drug may offer a safe, home-administered alternative to stem cell therapies, with ongoing studies to assess long-term benefits.
