医学教授、研究论文共同作者迈克尔•戴蒙德说:“我们证实,寨卡病毒能够杀死可抵御现有治疗手段并导致患者死亡的胶质母细胞瘤细胞。”
Researchers injected either Zika virus or a saltwater placebo directly into the brain tumors of 33 mice, said the report in The Journal of Experimental Medicine.
发表在美国《实验医学杂志》期刊上的研究报告称,研究人员将寨卡病毒或盐水安慰剂直接注入33只小鼠的脑肿瘤中。
Two weeks later, "tumors were significantly smaller in the Zika-treated mice", the report said. These mice also survived "significantly longer than the ones given saltwater".
报告称,两周后,“注射寨卡病毒的小鼠的脑肿瘤小了很多”,其存活时间也比“注射盐水的小鼠长得多”。
More work is needed before the treatment can be safely attempted in humans.
报道称,还需要开展更多工作才能在人类患者身上安全地尝试这种疗法。
The virus would likely be injected directly into the brain during surgery to remove the primary tumor.
报道称,治疗时可能会在原发性肿瘤移除手术期间直接将寨卡病毒注入大脑。
Extra studies on Zika's effects on the brain tissue of epilepsy patients showed the virus did not infect noncancerous brain cells.
此外,分析寨卡病毒对癫痫患者脑组织影响的研究表明,这种病毒不会感染没有癌变的脑细胞。
