深圳, 2026年3月5日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 康哲藥業控股有限公司（「康哲藥業」）欣然宣佈，其自主研發的創新藥INHBE小核酸藥物CMS-D008注射液（「CMS-D008」）於2026年3月4日獲得中國國家藥品監督管理局（「NMPA」）簽發的藥物臨床試驗批准通知書。NMPA同意開展CMS-D008注射液用於超重或肥胖的臨床試驗。關於CMS-D008CMS-D008是一款皮下注射的siRNA藥物，靶向抑制肝臟的抑制素亞基βE（INHBE）基因表達，下調INHBE編碼蛋白激活素E（Activin E）水平，從而降低脂肪代謝通路Activin E-ALK7的活化，有效減少脂質堆積。臨床前研究提示CMS-D008高效持續抑制INHBE表達，肥胖動物模型中，在不影響肌肉的情況下，獲得明顯的減重減脂效果，且安全性良好；顯示減脂不減肌，長期高質量減重的良好前景。未來可開發治療超重/肥胖，腹型肥胖以及相關代謝性疾病。減脂不減肌，超重/肥胖的潛在更優治療方案超重或肥胖是一種脂肪組織過度積累或分布、功能異常的慢性、進行性、複發性疾病[1]。根據《2025年世界肥胖報告》，預測到2030年，全球超重和肥胖成年人的比例會上升到50%，將有近30億成年人受到高體重指數（BMI）的影響，我國成人超重/肥胖人數將達到5.15億[2]。現有的GLP-1RA類藥物顯示了很好的減重效果，該類藥物主要通過作用於中樞神經系統抑制食欲，延緩胃排空來降低體重[3]，而INHBE不同於GLP-1類藥物的作用機制，是從全基因組關聯分析篩選獲得，INHBE功能喪失的人群擁有良好的體脂分布和有利的代謝特征[4]，靶向抑制INHBE可以從基因水平精准減少內臟脂肪，改善代謝狀態，更有利於長期體重管理。 CMS-D008攜手CMS-D005：高效減重與長期維持聯合發力，構建更全面減重方案CMS-D008將與正處於臨床開發階段的自研創新藥CMS-D005形成協同，CMS-D008通過精准抑制INHBE基因表達，減脂不減肌；而CMS-D005作為GLP-1R/GCGR雙重激動劑，可在減重同時，強效降低肝臟脂肪，二者協同實現高效的減重獲益與長期的成果維持，共同增強康哲藥業在肥胖/代謝治療領域的研發實力與產品競爭力，並依託其在心血管代謝疾病領域成熟的網絡資源，加速藥物的研發與商業化進程，為患者提供更全面、創新的治療方案。康哲藥業正積極準備開展相關臨床試驗工作，力爭該產品儘快上市。關於康哲藥業康哲藥業是一家鏈接醫藥創新與商業化，把控產品全生命週期管理的開放式平臺型企業，致力於提供有競爭力的產品和服務，滿足尚未滿足的醫療需求。康哲藥業專注於全球首創（FIC）及同類最優（BIC）的創新產品，並高效推進創新產品臨床研究開發和商業化進程，賦能科研成果向診療實踐的持續轉化，造福患者。康哲藥業聚焦專科領域，擁有被驗證的商業化能力，廣泛的渠道覆蓋和多疾病領域專家資源，核心在售產品已獲領先的學術與市場地位。康哲藥業圍繞優勢專科領域不斷縱深發展，以鞏固心腎代謝/消化/眼科/皮膚健康業務競爭力，帶來專科規模效率，其中皮膚健康業務（德鎂醫藥）已成為其細分領域的龍頭企業，並擬於聯交所獨立上市。同時，康哲藥業持續推動研產銷全產業鏈在東南亞及中東區域運營發展，以獲取新興市場的增量，助力集團實現高質量可持續發展。參考文獻/資料1.中華醫學會內分泌學分會.肥胖患者的長期體重管理及藥物臨床應用指南(2024版).中華內分泌代謝雜誌,2024,40(7):545-564.2.世界肥胖聯盟. 《2025 年世界肥胖報告》[EB/OL]. 倫敦：世界肥胖聯盟，2025. https://data.worldobesity.org/publications/?cat=233.Zhikai Zheng, Yao Zong, Yiyang Ma, Yucheng Tian, Yidan Pang, Changqing Zhang, Junjie Gao.

SINGAPORE, Mar 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Core Concepts Physio, one of Singapore's leading physiotherapy providers, has announced an expanded collaborative programme with podiatry service provider, Podiatry Quest, to offer enhanced, multidisciplinary assessments for patients experiencing plantar fasciitis and stubborn heel pain.Plantar fasciitis remains one of the most common and persistent causes of heel pain among adults, especially those with active lifestyles or occupations involving long hours on their feet. Often treatment seeks to address only one aspect of the condition rather than the full movement chain, which leads to recurring pain as other aspects remain unresolved.To bridge this gap, the two clinics have formalised a joint assessment pathway that evaluates plantar fasciitis from both the top-down (physiotherapy) and the bottom-up (podiatry) so as to ensure that no contributing factor is overlooked.A Smarter, More Complete Way to Diagnose Heel PainPhysiotherapy and podiatry traditionally manage different elements of plantar fasciitis. Physiotherapists focus on mobility, strength, gait and load tolerance, while podiatrists address foot posture, footwear, ground forces and orthotic support.The new integrated pathway combines both perspectives into a single, coordinated evaluation which results in:More accurate, holistic diagnosesFully optimised treatment strategiesFewer flare-ups and recurrencesClearer, consistent guidance for patientsFaster and more sustainable outcomes"Many patients struggle because plantar fasciitis isn't caused by just one issue," said Mr Chng Chye Tuan, Senior Principal Physiotherapist at Core Concepts Physiotherapy. "It's a movement chain problem involving the foot, calf, ankle mobility, daily load and footwear. When physiotherapists and podiatrists work together, we address every contributing factor — not just the symptoms."A Case Study Demonstrating Collaborative SuccessIn a recent case, a 42-year-old recreational runner sought help after six months of persistent heel pain. Physiotherapy improved his morning pain and running tolerance, but he continued to experience flare-ups following long work shifts.A podiatry assessment revealed prolonged pronation, footwear-related loading issues and inadequate shock absorption. With customised orthoses and tailored footwear recommendations, the patient's daily load decreased significantly — allowing physiotherapy progress to continue without setbacks.Within 10 weeks of coordinated care, he achieved pain-free mornings, comfortable workdays and full return to running."This case reflects what we see frequently," said Mr Yeo Boon Kiak, Principal Podiatrist at Podiatry Quest. "Physiotherapy builds tissue capacity, strength and movement control. Podiatry reduces unnecessary strain and optimises how forces enter the foot. When combined, this creates the ideal environment for long-lasting recovery."Making Multidisciplinary Care Accessible NationwideThrough this collaboration, patients with plantar fasciitis now benefit from:Joint physiotherapy–podiatry assessmentsAligned clinical decision-makingConsistent communication across providersA thorough evaluation of both the cause and consequence of heel painA fully optimised recovery pathway"Our multidisciplinary team brings together the best of both professions," said Mr Chng Chye Tuan. "Whether someone is a runner, a frequent traveller or stands long hours at work, this collaboration ensures their care is comprehensive, precise and built around their real-life demands."About Core Concepts PhysiotherapyCore Concepts Physio is one of Singapore's largest private physiotherapy groups, offering evidence-based musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy across multiple clinic locations.

東京, 2026年3月5日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 以TANAKA的產業用貴金屬展開事業的TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.（總公司：東京都中央區，執行總裁：田中 浩一朗）宣布成功開發出可於100℃左右的低溫範圍內使用的濾氫鈀（Pd）合金膜「HPM-L111」。本產品是世界首創※１，在100℃左右的低溫範圍內具有較高的氫氣過濾性能的金屬膜。樣品將於2026年3月5日（四）以後開始提供。關於數量，最多每月可提供約100片。本產品將在2026年3月11日（三）至13日（五）於千葉工業大學舉行的公益社團法人日本金屬學會「2026年春季（第178屆）演講大會」的會議上進行發表。另外，將在2026年3月17日（二）至19日（四）於東京國際展覽中心舉行的「H2 ＆ FC EXPO 氫能與燃料電池展」，進行產品及展示板的展示。濾氫鈀（Pd）膜「HPM-L111」濾氫鈀膜是將具有吸儲和過濾氫氣特性的鈀合金加以薄膜化的產品，用於分離和純化高純度氫氣。一般來說，要以金屬膜實現過濾氫氣，需要在高溫（300℃以上）下進行。這次，TANAKA透過對膜表面進行特殊處理，成功開發出即使在100℃以下的低溫範圍內也能發揮出較高的氫氣過濾性能的金屬膜。利用金屬膜進行氫氣純化的課題及「HPM-L111」的研發背景以往產品的「PdCu40」（鈀含有率60％，銅含有率40％的合金）在PdCu系合金膜中具有最高水準的氫氣過濾性能。不過，要發揮原本具有的性能，需要在400℃左右的高溫範圍內使用，額外追加的加熱設備等所增加的成本成為多年來的課題。近年來，隨著氫氣相關技術的發展，在100°C以下的低溫範圍內透過金屬膜進行濾氫的需求日益增長。另一方面，由於金屬膜通常在200℃以下時氫氣從表面向內部滲透的速率會減慢，導致以往金屬膜的氫氣過濾性能顯著下降，在實際應用上帶來了課題。為了解決這些課題，「HPM-L111」採用了TANAKA多年來在貴金屬材料研發所累積的獨家表面處理技術。透過在膜表面形成細微的凹凸結構，並擴增比表面積，提高氫氣的滲透速率，實現了在100℃以下的低溫範圍內氫氣過濾性能的大幅提升。「HPM-L111」的特色在100℃左右的低溫範圍內發揮較高的氫氣過濾性能世界首創可在100℃左右的低溫範圍內進行高純度氫氣純化的金屬膜可望有助於氫氣感測器的高精度化可高速去除機器內部所產生的氫氣以往產品「PdCu40」的剖面圖「HPM-L111」的剖面圖 品名厚度寬度長度建議溫度預計用途HPM-H310（PdCu40）>10μm

Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Mar 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) -�FinHarbor, a modular financial infrastructure provider, has completed the core phase of a hybrid neobank platform for Asterium � a licensed fintech project in Uzbekistan that combines traditional banking with digital asset services under a single regulated framework.Why Uzbekistan - Uzbekistan is actively building a regulated environment for digital assets. The country has introduced a national distributed ledger system (Mirasmanda) and a state-backed digital asset (HUMO), supervised by the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP). For infrastructure providers, this creates a rare opportunity: a market where crypto and banking can coexist within a clear legal perimeter.Asterium's project is designed to operate fully within this framework.What Was Deployed - FinHarbor adapted its microservices-based platform to the requirements of the Uzbek market and Asterium's business model. The core deployment covers three key layers:Banking infrastructure � management of fiat accounts, issuance of physical and virtual bank cards (VISA, MasterCard, HUMO), and integration with local processing systems.Digital asset infrastructure � crypto account management, integration with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron networks, as well as native connection to Uzbekistan's Mirasmanda ledger for HUMO asset support.Compliance and exchange � a unified KYC/KYB/AML/KYT module aligned with local and international standards, integration with global AML/KYT providers, and multiple exchange models including fiat-to-crypto, crypto-to-fiat, and crypto-to-crypto conversions with card-based ramp-in and ramp-off.The result is a single platform where users can hold bank accounts and crypto wallets, exchange assets, and use cards � all within a regulated environment.How the Partnership Works - FinHarbor operates as Asterium's strategic technology partner, not just a software vendor. A dedicated implementation team supports the platform on an ongoing basis, managing feature rollouts and infrastructure expansion."This project required deep architectural customization � from integrating with a national blockchain system to building compliance workflows that satisfy both local regulators and international standards," said Ilya Podoynitsyn, CEO of FinHarbor. "The core phase is complete, and we are already scaling the platform with new products and business use cases."��What's Next - With the core infrastructure live, FinHarbor and Asterium are moving into the next stage: launching consumer-facing products and expanding the platform's functionality to support additional business lines built on the deployed stack.About FinHarborFinHarbor provides modular technology infrastructure for launching compliant financial products � from wallets and neobanks to crypto ramps and OTC desks. The platform supports fiat, crypto, and hybrid business models, with ISO/PCI DSS-certified architecture and deployment options across Europe, MENA, and CIS markets.Social LinksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/finharbor/Blog: https://www.finharbor.com/blog�Media contactBrand: FinHarborContact: Media teamWebsite: https://www.finharbor.com/ Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
