一日喪命散真的那麼喪命嗎?

最近看到周星馳的不少新聞，

讓我想起從小愛看的”唐伯虎點秋香”

忽然間靈光乍現，想起華夫人的”一日喪命散”

真的會血管爆裂而死嗎?

於是….就誕生了這篇科普文了……

其實不要看砒霜好像那麼恐怖，其實在醫學上最著名的就是應用在急性前骨隨細胞白血病(Acute promyelocytic leukemia, APL)的治療上，只要控制好劑量可以達到很好的治療效果
(Shen, Zhi-Xiang, et al. “Use of arsenictrioxide (As2O3) in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL): II.Clinical efficacy and pharmacokinetics in relapsed patients.” Blood 89.9(1997): 3354-3360.)

註釋：

活性氧化物質（Reactive oxygen species, ROS）是指含氧之化學活性分子，其中包括過氧化氫（H2O2）、次氯酸（HClO）、羥基自由基（HO）、單線態氧（1O2）等。ROS是在正常新陳代謝後，由氧形成的天然副產品，在細胞訊息傳遞（cell signaling）及體內平衡（homeostasis）方面扮演重要的角色。然而在外界環境屬於逆境時（如暴露在紫外線及高溫下），ROS的濃度會急劇升高。這種現象會對細胞結構造成明顯損害，長期累積下來，就形成氧化損傷（oxidative stress）。(資料來源:科技部高瞻自然科學教學資源平台)
ATP 三磷酸腺苷（Adenosine triphosphate, ATP）是一種核苷酸，作為細胞內能量傳遞的「分子通貨」，儲存和傳遞化學能，維持細胞機能與運作(資料來源:WIKI)
血管內皮生長因子(Vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF)在血管生長、血管通透性的維持，以及血管內皮細胞壽命的延長上扮演了不可或缺的角色。(陳甫安, 徐大為, and 王緯書. “血管內皮生長因子的表現量與腎臟疾病的關連性.”內科學誌 21.5 (2010): 337-343.)
