刘志芬介绍，"情绪中暑"是由高温天气引发的心理及行为异常现象。其典型表现包括：易因琐事发 火、精神萎靡不振、对周遭事物深感不满、坐立难安及睡眠质量下降等。 刘志芬建议，大家在保证规律作息、健康饮食、适度运动的基础上，尝试理解和接纳自己的情绪。 同时，也可以选择一个安静的环境，以一个舒服的姿势坐下或者平躺，使用"4—7—8呼吸法"：吸气4 秒，想象吸入清凉空气；屏气7秒，想象凉意在体内扩散；呼气8秒，想象呼出燥热与烦躁，上述步骤重 复5次。这样可以激活身体的副交感神经，缓解因炎热带来的烦躁感。 另一方面，剧烈运动或长时间高温作业时，人体汗液分泌增多，不仅身体会流失水分，而且体内 钾、钠等元素也会随之流失，继而使人感到浑身没劲、提不起精神、头晕恶心，这些不适会使人更容易 出现情绪波动等问题。 虽然今年的"三伏天"已近尾声，但不少地区的高温态势仍然明显。"情绪中暑"等话题近期在社交媒 体上引发讨论。什么是"情绪中暑"？如何有效缓解？科技日报记者就此采访了山西医科大第一医院精神 卫生科主任刘志芬。 一般来说，引发"情绪中暑"的原因可能有长时间暴露在高温、高湿或炎热环境中，人体体温调节中 枢——下丘脑出现功能紊乱，从而 ...

科技日报讯 （记者陈曦 通讯员赵晖）记者8月13日从天津大学获悉，该校王汉杰、刘夺团队与西北 农林科技大学杜涛峰团队合作，成功构建"可吞服光电子胶囊—工程菌双向交流系统"，为肠道健康监测 与疾病治疗开辟了新路径。相关研究成果发表在国际期刊《自然·微生物学》上。 据介绍，肠道内栖息着数以亿计的微生物，其组成和活动与人体健康密切相关。但由于肠道环境复 杂，传统检测和调控手段难以精准捕捉菌群的实时状态。此次研究团队研发的可吞服光电子胶囊，如 同"智能潜水艇"深入肠道，可通过光学信号实现与工程菌的双向交流。 该成果为肠道微生物研究提供了全新工具，未来结合人工智能和云技术，有望实现对肠道健康的动 态监测与精准调控，为肠炎等疾病的治疗开辟新途径。 在猪肠炎模型实验中，该系统能比传统检测方法提前1—2天捕捉到肠炎信号，且通过远程调控工程 菌可有效缓解炎症。这项技术构建了新型"菌—机接口"，为实现"人—机—菌交互"、推动智能化疾病诊 疗奠定了基础。 处于炎症状态的肠道细胞会产生异常高浓度的一氧化氮，并在肠道中很快转化为硝酸根，因此硝酸 根可以作为一种肠炎标志物。研究团队改造工程菌使其一旦"感受"到硝酸根便会发光，胶囊的光电传 ...
