AbstractNeuromuscular contractures (NC) are a prevalent cause of joint deformity in children suffering from neuromuscular disorders or nerve damage, leading to persistent disability. The role of tendon in the development of NC remains poorly understood, with current treatments predominantly targeting muscle. Here, we establish a surgical model of NC in the hindlimb that recapitulates functional deformity and transcriptomic changes observed in human disease.

文豪海明威先生說過：「在一個奢華浪費的年代，我希望能向世界表明，人類真正需要的的東西是非常之微少的。」此句被廣泛延伸到亙古不變的午茶文化，大千繁華世界，即使再忙，也必須要適時放慢腳步，飲個茶，再繼續若有所思也無妨。 午後花茶，經過幾世紀的演變，從貴族獨享到現今庶民打發牙祭話家常的時光，下午茶一詞似乎已變成聊八卦的代名詞，被氾濫使用。然而，1865年開業的Langham酒店卻仍堅持講究道地與傳統，在禮儀與文化的薰陶下，設立了Palm Court，Langham酒店更於2018年，一舉拿下倫敦最佳下午茶餐廳的殊榮，令人不得不朝聖一番！ Palm Court人人稱之「令人心境愉悅的天堂」，提供Seasonal Tea的概念自由選搭茶飲，全新詮釋傳統午茶的文化。有別於日本茶道對自身養性的嚴謹，主張英式午茶理當著重於茶葉食品的質量，並根據季節變化，使用最合宜的當令農產品。通過採配時宜的食材，完美契合茶之特色，畫龍點睛；這份堅持，使Palm Court達到有別於倫敦其他競業的高度。...

炎炎夏日來臨，衣櫃中的編織包總會重新復出，夏日裡的野餐、海邊戲水、外出郊遊少不了編織包的點綴。竹編包、草編包每年皆以不同姿態現身，祭出新的款式還是讓人忍不住蒐集，衣櫃裡絕對能翻出幾款作為夏日搭配單品。 大人感簍空編織包 今年流行簍空編織、透明包款等毫不掩蔽的款式，擺脫錢財不露白的觀念，一覽無遺的內在更能展現自信慵懶的態度，不經意露出包中物表現時尚品味。除了單背，另一種實用背法是包中包，竹編包裡放進另一包款，使包款增加一種背法更能跟上今年的流行趨勢。 穿搭上可以運用較成熟的單品做為搭配，以多層次的造型帶出包款特色。範例照以花紋長版罩衫、棉質寬褲搭配多層次的飾品點綴，雨中漫步於寺廟增添神祕氣息，成熟的夏日大人感穿搭清涼又防曬。 法式硬挺竹編包 紮實的竹編包比起軟版編織包單價稍高，硬挺的材質容量有限必須精簡出門，但高質感的紮實編法、真皮皮繩及內裡襯布讓質感瞬間提升好幾階，攜帶上的些許不便也令人原諒了。精細的竹紋一層一層堆疊編織，令人佩服於手法的細膩，編織包也能躋身高質感路線。 大容量蝴蝶結編織包...

腳步踏入義大利西西里島的Siracusa最有名的景點：尼亞波利考古遺址Parco Archeologico Neapolis，彷彿時間瞬間倒流，將我帶回古希臘時期最輝煌的光陰，這裡是地中海地區最大的古希臘考古遺跡之一，每一寸土地皆刻畫著歷史的印記。 首先映入眼簾的，我來到了古羅馬鬥獸場（Anfiteatro Romano），這裡曾是角鬥士與野獸對決的地方，見證了無數的勇氣和犧牲。金光照耀下的鬥獸場如同一部靜止的電影，展示著古羅馬的荣耀和殘酷。每一塊石頭、每一道劃痕都訴說著一個故事，那些英勇的角鬥士、觀眾的尖叫，都彷彿還在這裡回蕩。 Orecchio di Dionisio，狄奧尼修斯之耳，這一名稱早已在我耳邊迴響。當我真正站在其前，它比我想像中的更為巨大、更為神秘。這巨大的石灰岩洞穴在柔和的陽光下呈現出一種古老而神聖的光輝。 洞內的冷氣與外界的熱風形成鮮明對比，彷彿這裡不僅隔絕了聲音，還隔絕了時間。每一次回聲、每一絲微風，都彷彿在述說著狄奧尼修斯之耳背後深藏的神祕與傳說。...
