Lin CH, Ali R, Chen SC, Wallace C, Chang YC, Chen HC, Cheng MH.
淋巴結移植是一種被廣泛應用於治療淋巴水腫的有效方法。傳統上，臨床多將淋巴結移植至腋下，以改善乳癌術後上肢淋巴水腫的症狀。然而，臺灣的鄭明輝教授首創性地提出將鼠蹊部淋巴結移植至手腕遠端的位置，藉此改善淋巴回 流，突破過去「近端移植」的慣例。這項技術在臨床上展現出卓越成效，根據平均56個月的長期追蹤，接受手腕移植的患者其患側手臂臂圍平均縮小達50%。這項開創性的研究於2009年發表，並成為首篇證實遠端淋巴結移植具臨床療效的論文，截至目前已被 Google Scholar 引用超過439次，對淋巴結移植術的發展產生深遠影響。 Plast Reconstr Surg. 2009 Apr;123(4):1265-75. doi: 10.1097/PRS.0b013e31819e6529. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19337095

A novel approach to the treatment of lower extremity lymphedema by transferring a vascularized submental lymph node flap to the ankle.
Cheng MH, Huang JJ, Nguyen DH, Saint-Cyr M, Zenn MR, Tan BK, Lee CL.
鄭明輝教授第二篇關於淋巴水腫治療的研究展現了極具創新性的突破。他首度提出將下頷骨淋巴結移植至腳踝，用以治療下肢淋巴水腫。過去，針對下肢淋巴水腫的處理方式多限於穿著壓力襪或進行淋巴靜脈吻合術（LVA），然而對於病情較嚴重的患者，這些方法常常效果有限。鄭教授所發展的下頷骨淋巴結移植術，在臨床上展現出顯著的成效，為傳統療法無效的患者帶來了新的希望。此篇論文自發表以來，已被 Google Scholar 引用高達 330 次，顯示其在學術界與臨床實務上的深遠影響。 Gynecol Oncol. 2012 Jul;126(1):93-8. doi: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2012.04.017.

Vascularized groin lymph node flap transfer for postmastectomy upper limb lymphedema: flap anatomy, recipient sites, and outcomes..
Cheng MH, Chen SC, Henry SL, Tan BK, Lin MC, Huang JJ.
淋巴結移植的可靠性與治療效果如何？近心端或遠心端哪種移植效果更佳？ 在2013年，鄭教授進一步發表研究，採用顯微外科技術進行鼠蹊部淋巴結移植，以治療上肢淋巴水腫。該研究對鼠蹊部淋巴結的解剖構造、受體區域的選擇，以及整體預後表現，皆有詳盡而正面的報告。手術平均可移植超過六顆鼠蹊部淋巴結，並在平均39個月的追蹤期後，患者的臂圍減少達40%，顯示出穩定而良好的治療成效。這項研究為將淋巴結移植至遠端以治療乳癌術後淋巴水腫奠定了成功的基礎。該論文至今已在 Google Scholar 上被引用達351次，顯示其在領域內的重要影響力。

The mechanism of vascularized lymph node transfer for lymphedema: natural lymphaticovenous drainage.
Cheng MH, Huang JJ, Wu CW, Yang CY, Lin CY, Henry SL, Kolios L.
鄭明輝教授2014年發表的重要研究：揭示淋巴結移植有效機制 鄭明輝教授於2014年在《Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery》期刊發表的研究，是刊登於整形外科領域最具權威的國際期刊之一。過去已有三篇研究證實淋巴結移植對淋巴水腫具有良好治療成效，而此篇論文更進一步深入探討「為什麼」淋巴結移植能夠有效改善淋巴水腫，並透過動物實驗與臨床手術觀察，提出科學性的解釋與證據。 在動物實驗部分，研究團隊將循血綠（ICG）注射於淋巴結皮瓣的遠端，可觀察到螢光訊號逐漸移動至連接的靜脈；若直接注射於淋巴結本體，僅需20多秒即在靜脈中出現螢光，顯示移植的淋巴結確實與靜脈系統連通，具備淋巴引流功能。 在臨床方面，當患者接受含有淋巴結的皮瓣移植時，研究顯示循血綠注射至淋巴結後，約在23秒內即可在靜脈中觀察到螢光訊號，進一步證實淋巴結具有快速將淋巴液引流至靜脈的能力。相較之下，若移植僅為皮膚組織，無淋巴結結構，則即使等待一小時，靜脈中仍無螢光顯現，進一步證明淋巴結在整個引流機制中扮演關鍵角色。 這篇具開創性的論文至今已被 Google Scholar 引用達249次，展現其在國際學術界的重要影響力，也為未來發展淋巴結移植治療提供了堅實的理論基礎與臨床依據。 Plast Reconstr Surg. 2014 Feb;133(2):192e-8e. doi: 10.1097/01.prs.0000437257.78327.5b. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24469190

Developing a Lower Limb Lymphedema Animal Model with Combined Lymphadenectomy and Low-dose Radiation.
Yang CY, Nguyen DH, Wu CW, Fang YH, Chao KT, Patel KM, Cheng MH.
過去針對淋巴水腫的研究相對有限。若要進一步發展有效的治療策略，首要之務是深入了解淋巴系統的解剖結構與生理機轉，同時掌握淋巴水腫的發病機制。具備這些知識基礎，才能建立可靠的實驗模型並推動治療方法的驗證與發展。 為此，鄭明輝教授團隊於 2014 年發表了建立小鼠下肢淋巴水腫模型的研究成果，該模型結合雙部位淋巴結切除（鼠蹊與膕窩）與低劑量放射線照射（20 Gy），成功誘發穩定且可量測的慢性下肢淋巴水腫。此模型的特點包括高再現性、低死亡率與顯著的腫脹反應，並透過 Tc-99 淋巴攝影與 micro-CT 體積量測等方式，完整呈現淋巴功能受損後的生理與解剖變化。此研究為後續評估淋巴水腫治療方式的動物實驗提供了重要平台，也為相關臨床研究奠定了基礎。 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25289315

Vascularized lymph node flap transfer and lymphovenous anastomosis for klippel-trenaunay syndrome with congenital lymphedema.
Qiu SS, Chen HY, Cheng MH.
本篇論文報導了一例罕見的先天性淋巴水腫合併 Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome（KTS）之臨床案例。該患者表現出雙側下肢淋巴水腫及淺層靜脈血管瘤，為臨床上高度複雜且具挑戰性的病症類型。 鄭明輝教授研究團隊根據患者左右下肢病情的嚴重程度差異，採取個別化的手術策略：在症狀較輕的右側施行淋巴靜脈吻合術（Lymphovenous Anastomosis, LVA），而在病變較嚴重的左側則進行血管化淋巴結移植（Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer, VLNT）。術後結果顯著，患者雙側水腫均明顯改善，復發率低，感染次數明顯下降，整體生活品質獲得提升，展現出兩種手術技術在臨床應用上的互補性與實用性。 此案例凸顯出，先天性淋巴水腫常伴隨其他血管或器官發育異常，使得診斷與治療更加複雜。因此，治療前的精確臨床評估與完整影像學分析至關重要。對於病情複雜者，應依據病灶位置、嚴重度與組織狀態，選擇最適當的手術方式，而非僅依賴單一技術。 本研究除了提供治療複雜型先天性淋巴水腫的寶貴經驗，也體現了鄭明輝教授在臨床與影像整合診斷領域的深耕與貢獻。透過個別化手術策略的設計與應用，為具多重併發症的淋巴水腫患者，開創出更有效、精準的治療選擇。 Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open. 2014 Jul 9;2(6):e167. doi: 10.1097/GOX.0000000000000099. eCollection 2014 Jun. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25289360
