　　Recently, foreign media reports indicate that the immune response that causes fever can also activate the nervous system, and elevated body temperature may help treat autism and cancer.

　　The December issue of the Spanish monthly "Vientiane" published an article called "Feverisa Good Thing", which mentioned the personal experience of the rich mathematician James Simon. This father has an autistic daughter. After observing for a period of time, it was found that when her daughter had a fever, the communication with the outside world became smoother, and the morbid madness peculiar to autism seemed to be reduced. Therefore, Simon began and established the study of the reasons for this change and whether it can be used as a basis for the treatment of unconsciousness. In 2007, an epidemiology team from Johns Hopkins University-Bloomberg School of Public Health achieved the first results. They published a research report confirming that fever can relieve the symptoms of autism. but why?

　　makes us have a fever

　　The Spanish researcher Marian Mailer of the Rockefeller University Institute of Molecular Biology also reported that she participated in a research project funded by the James Simon Foundation. "Fever is a defense mechanism. When pathogens appear in the human body, it reflects the activity of the immune system. Therefore, the relationship between fever and behavior changes is related to the immune system and nervous system. Correlation, therefore, The immune system’s response process that causes fever may also stimulate or inhibit certain areas of the nervous system that are altered by autism. This is why the sexual behavior of people with autism can change temporarily.”

　　Umeru also said, “Specific areas of the brain are involved in the response to body temperature and regulate behaviors related to autism. We think it is also related to the brain areas involved, so these areas may be temporarily activated, such as anxiety , Social behavior, stimuli, and language. It can cause changes. At the same time, it can also have an epigenetic effect, which can activate or inhibit genes related to specific neural activities. He reported that this is obviously beneficial to alleviating symptoms. Beneficial. Even if one day in the future, fever can be used as a "prescription" for artificially maintaining autistic patients.

　　High temperature anticancer drugs

　　, the latest trend in cancer treatment is to use immunotherapy, which means taking steps to activate the immune system to fight cancer cells. I reported to Ignacio Melero, an immunotherapy expert at the Center of Applied Medicine of the University of Nabara in Spain, saying: The working principle of the immune system is to teach you how to recognize and destroy cancer cells in an artificial manner. Fever is part of the human immune system.

　　Melero believes that fever-based treatment is called hyperthermia, which can increase the patient's body temperature under anesthesia and simulate a continuous high fever. However, this method is risky, and an effective method has not yet been developed. If it can be combined with other more effective immunotherapies, it may be meaningful.

　　Meanwhile, medical experts have recently discovered that chronic diseases such as depression and anxiety can cause body temperature to rise.

　　Psychotherapy

　　It was reported in 2014 that scientists at Kyoto University discovered neural circuits related to the increase in body temperature caused by depression. This neural circuit connects the dorsal medial nucleus of the hypothalamus to the medullary cleft nucleus. The researchers said: "Understanding this mechanism is very important for understanding the development of psychological fever and planning treatment."

　　Carmen is a 51-year-old woman living alone, relatively healthy. I live a typical life. However, a few months ago, I started to have frequent fever, back and forth quickly, and the symptoms of weakness disappeared. After various examinations, the doctor diagnosed her with "psychotic fever". the reason? Four months ago, her sister's family lived near her and moved to a large distant house, only visiting her every weekend. Currently, she can only go to a small company that has worked for more than 20 years and continues to serve as a secretary every day. After psychiatric treatment, the fever of Carmen's disease disappeared. Reported that there is a

　　Carmen's example can find a more reasonable explanation in medicine. Depression is nothing more than a psychological process, which occurs when we are aware of the threats around us or beyond our capabilities.

　　In this case, our body is ready to deal with danger or "escape". As a result, the frequency of breathing and heartbeat increases, and body temperature also rises. This is hyperthermia caused by depression. However, 95% of fever cases are simply the response of our body's organs to pathogens.

　　Pediatric expert Haus Martinez said: "Until now, when the human body feels uncomfortable and the body temperature rises, it is still considered to be the reaction of human organs to bacteria. Therefore, heat is a function of the body's defense system. The patient is in the process of recovering. Before that, he started to use a thermometer to measure his body temperature. Fever became the main physical symptom we saw."

　　stray body temperature

　　reported in 2014 that pediatric associations around the world agreed to find a way to combat the pathological "fear" of fever, especially most parents' perception of fever. done.

　　The American Journal of Pediatric Diseases publishes monthly research reports to warn of this general idea. According to the report, most parents are overly worried about fever below 38°C. Many people worry that a child's temperature rise will have terrible consequences for the body. Even when the fever reaches 40°C, even 52% of parents can cause serious neuropathy. I believe there is.

　　Martinez said: "We are absolutely responsible. In fact, when parents take their children to the emergency room, they first consider how to measure their child's temperature. Therefore, they are obvious. No one wants to say that body temperature is the first One of them is second."

　　in contrast. "When our body temperature rises, our body feels uncomfortable. In fact, the bacteria are the same. Therefore, when a pathogen invades us, our body will rise in temperature and feel uncomfortable. You cannot feel it. And we cannot maintain growth, but we always think that we are smarter than our body. We use antipyretic drugs to lower body temperature, which actually lowers body temperature.

　　Since the British doctor Clifford Albert (Clifford Albert) invented the first medical thermometer, this tool has become a symbol of modern medicine and a tool that every family needs. It is reported that it has become the most common medical device.

　　However, Martinez said: "The thermometer is just a tool for measuring body temperature. Body temperature often changes due to various factors, such as the external environment and the number of clothes we wear. We focus on this. All you have to do is symptoms, and Not body temperature."

　　enhance immunity

　　According to a research report issued by the American Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the benefits of fever are huge. For example, a newborn who has a fever in the first year of life is better than a newborn who is not born. The risk of allergies in children and children is greatly reduced. The medical community has formed a general view that early exposure to infection can protect the body from allergies. But Martinez also raised a special possibility of concern. "For 3-month-old newborns, the cranio-brain barrier is still very fragile. In this case, the infection may change. Sepsis or meningitis. This is a very serious problem. Therefore, parents need to be aware in newborns. Fever above 38 degrees Celsius. If their temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, they should go to the emergency room as soon as possible to fight the infection.

　　1660, written by British doctor Thomas Sidham as follows. "The heat is the powerful engine that nature gives the world. Use it to conquer your enemies." But now we know Sidner. Mu is not only right, but in many cases, high body temperature can also be a powerful weapon to effectively kill deadly enemies.
