因人而異,膀胱/尿袋 (Urinary Bladder)一般來說可以儲存300-500ml尿液。981Please respect copyright.PENANAKPlRbOsyWP
981Please respect copyright.PENANAPPRLxZMuYG
981Please respect copyright.PENANAnR9mZL17Ua
尿液的其中一個功能,就是將體內的毒素或細菌排出,而膀胱經常有大量尿液儲存,為罪惡的蘊藏之所,體內的警署。981Please respect copyright.PENANAESM5wcSBAF
981Please respect copyright.PENANAPpBC2NWJHN
想深一層,身體的細菌經由尿液聚首一堂,膀胱豈不是非常容易令受到感染?981Please respect copyright.PENANA5EudssDegT
981Please respect copyright.PENANA2zQOzS8vUY
(致病的細菌及毒素亦可從糞便排出)981Please respect copyright.PENANA0j1puoEj2f

(圖2)尿調理素(Uromodulin/Tamm–Horsfall Protein)是尿液其中一種常見的主要蛋白,主要在腎臟管道生產。981Please respect copyright.PENANAYeaR3ztVJh

981Please respect copyright.PENANAn1wB5lUE7K
它被認定為有抵禦細菌感染的作用,但一直以來也沒有充分的證據得以證明。981Please respect copyright.PENANA6o5gpvFB0E
981Please respect copyright.PENANAhlfvK1it0T
近日,有科學家利用最新的電子顯微鏡技術及各種實驗輔證(Ref1),終於確立得到尿調理素抵禦細菌感染的功能。981Please respect copyright.PENANARvbNdAWoAv

(圖3)先簡單重溫一下細菌的外部結構,今次我們會特別著重提及Pili,它賦予細菌與外部接觸的能力。981Please respect copyright.PENANA42Fsbqzau5

(圖4)左邊是文中的圖片,黃色箭嘴頭所指示的就是細菌的pili,它能夠與uromodulin建立非常穩定的連結;981Please respect copyright.PENANAaXGHdKRd84
箇中的連結需要糖份組織的幫助。981Please respect copyright.PENANAd6fOJelQaQ

(圖5)Uromodulin在尿液的大量存在,將會強迫致病的大腸桿菌聚在一起,以免大腸桿菌能夠與膀胱內壁接觸及進行感染。981Please respect copyright.PENANAk8lftDevCS
981Please respect copyright.PENANAK6psHVjCBF
981Please respect copyright.PENANAAFm9IR7mSk
以壓倒性的數量,簡單將致病的大腸桿菌聚集及封鎖在一起,這種防禦機制相對地直接簡單。981Please respect copyright.PENANAJktMKWR7mZ
至於Uromodulin能否與所有已知的致命細菌結合、會否有著其他的機制及功能,還需要進一步的調查。981Please respect copyright.PENANAnL1LzxeGkX
