Respiratory Disease

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions, affecting the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, Obstructive lung diseases, Restrictive lung diseases, Respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves and muscles breathing, etc,.

Pulmonary vascular disease: Pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary vascular disease is defined as a condition of blood flow to the lung’s artery is blocked suddenly due to a blood clot somewhere in the body, including pulmonary embolism, chronic thromboembolic disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, pulmonary edema, etc.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a subgroup of a specific subgroup of pulmonary hypertension (PH) defined as a condition of slowly progressive disorder as a result of abnormally high blood pressure in the blood vessel, including pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, or pulmonary capillaries, that carries blood from the heart to the lungs due to narrowing in diameter of most of the very small arteries throughout the lungs of that increased resistance to blood flow, leading to right heart failure and death. Because the phrase pulmonary arterial hypertension is long and pulmonary hypertension is a bit shorter the phrase pulmonary hypertension is often used in place of pulmonary arterial hypertension(a).According to statistic, approximately over 1,000 new cases of pulmonary arterial hypertension are diagnosed each year, In the United States alone.

The Treatment

A. In conventional medicine perspective
Treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (group 1 of clinical classification) has been recently characterized by important progresses, particularly in pharmacological therapy. According to the study by Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria,
1. Only until few years ago, patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension were treated with non-specific drugs, such as diuretics and digoxin for right heart failure and calcium-channel blockers in the minority of cases, responders to the acute vasoreactivity test. In addition, use of oral anticoagulant treatment was supported by uncontrolled studies.
2. In the last 15 years (in particular in the last 8 years) different randomized controlled trials assessing the functional, clinical and hemodynamic efficacy of three classes of targeted drugs (prostanoids, endothelin receptor antagonists and phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors) with pulmonary vascular dilating and antiproliferative effects have been performed.
a. Treatment starts with general measures (physical activity, fertility control, respiratory tract infection, etc.) and supportive therapy (anticoagulant therapy, diuretics, oxygen, digoxin). Patients who respond to the acute vasoreactivity test (10% of idiopathic form) are treated with high doses of calcium-channel blockers, non-responders with targeted therapies either on monotherapy or combination.
b. Usually an oral active drug is initiated and a second compound of a different class is combined in case of non-satisfactory response to the first treatment
c. Combination therapy should be performed only in specialized centers with large experience on use of targeted therapies and their relevant side effects.
d. In case of failure of medical therapy, possible options are balloon atrial septostomy and/or listing for lung or heart-lung transplantation. As available treatments do not constitute a cure for pulmonary arterial hypertension, further progresses are expected in the near future(37).

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).

The Phytochemicals

1. Curcumin
Curcumin is a phytochemical found abundantly in Turmeric, principal curcuminoid of the popular Indian spice
1.1. Anti-inflammatory agentCurcumin (diferuloyl methane) may be used as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(143). Dr. Sarker MR and the research team at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in the study of animal model, suggested that dietary curcumin amy have a positive effects on improved anti-inflammatory or antioxidant actions(144).

1.1. Antioxidants
Curcumin, one of most powerful antioxidant found in foods was found epidemiologically as a proven antioxidant for its anti-inflammatory, anti-amyloidogenic, neuroprotective, and cognition-enhancing effects(145). The antioxidant is also considered as a novel promising therapeutics against chronic neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease by the Western Sydney University(146).
In rheumatoid arthritis patients, oral administration of curcumin sginificantly improved the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) DAS scores in reduction in tenderness and swelling of joint and and other arthritic conditions(147) such as dramatic amelioration of arthritis symptoms(148).

2. Gingerol
Gingerole, is also known as gingerol, a phytochemical of Flavonoids (polyphenols) found in fresh ginger.
2.1. Antioxidants and Anti-inflammatory effectsCrude ginger and rosemary extracts showed to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines due ot its function as an inflammatory mediators with high antioxidant activity(149). The comparison of different ginger constituents, such as [6]-gingerol, [8]-gingerol, [10]-gingerol and [6]-shogaol, 6-Shogaol has found to be most potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytochemical due the presence of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone moiety(150).
Dr. Masuda Y. and the research team at the Osaka City University said" antioxidants isolated from the rhizomes of ginger,....the antioxidant activity might be due to not only radical scavenging activity of antioxidants but also their affinity of the antioxidants to the substrates"(151).

2.2. Rheumatoid arthritis
In rheumatoid arthritis, ginger-turmeric rhizomes mixture on animal model, may be effective against rheumatoid arthritis (RA) severity and complications, through the mediation of decreasing the systemic inflammation that occur at the appearance of polyarthritis, oxidative stress and dyslipidemia(152). According to DR. Ramadan G1 and the research team at the King Faisal University, the anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant activity of ginger is less potent than turmeric but constitute to some beneficial effects against rheumatoid arthritis onset/progression(153).

3. Quercetin
Quercetin is a member of flavonoids, found in fruits, vegetables, leaves and grains with anti inflammatory and antioxidant property(154)(155). which have been found effectively in reduce the early onset and stop the progression of rheumatoid arthritis.In rat adjuvant arthritis, an oral daily dose of 150 mg/kg b.w. of quercetin for 28 days,quercetin lowered levels of pro inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1β, C-reactive protein, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and restored plasma antioxidant capacity(156), . Dr.Ji JJ and the research team at the Dalian Medical University, suggested that quecetin may be a potent agent for treatment of symptoms of RA such as disabling joint disease involved hands, wrists, feet and other small joints, through its anti inflammatory and antioxidant effects(157).

4. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) found in green tea has been found to process antitumor,anti-Alzheimer, and anti-aging properties throguh epidemiological studies(158). According to the joint study lead by the Zhejiang University, Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) improved anti-oxidant defense enzyme, reduced mitochondrial oxidative stress, through its antioxidants and inflammatory effects which may contribute to the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(159).
In rheumatoid arthritis, Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) may have a beneficiary effects for treatment of RA due to its suppressed autoimmune arthritis activity(160), also through vary antioxidant and anti inflammatory pathways.

The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of premature ovarian failure
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 1/4 cups broccoli
1/4 cup flax seed
1 cup of rice milk

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately

The finding the natural ingredients for treatment of premature ovarian failure is considered as a dream of many scientist to replace the long term usage adverse effect of conventional medicine.
Unfortunately, many compounds found effective in initial studying failed to confirm the potential in large sample size and multi center.

Premature ovarian failure is also known as primary ovarian insufficiency. It is defined as a condition of women before age of 40 of which the brain does not response to high levels of FSH in making egg, due to an insufficiency of estrogen. Premature ovarian failure caused by auto immunity in production of antibodies against its own ovarian tissue(1). Immunomodulating therapies showed effectively for premature ovarian failure caused by auto immunity in conventional medicine(1).

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Due to its commercial values and health effects, green tea now has been cultivated all over the world in suitable climate.According to the study of risks associated with premature ovarian failure in Han Chinese women, regular intake of green tea is associated to reduce risk of premature ovarian failure. But history of pelvic surgery, mumps, having relatives with menstrual abnormalities and exposure to chemical
agents were significantly associated with increased risk(2).

According to the Dr. Fernandez JW and research team at the Silver Child Development Center, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a mafor chemical constituent of green tea increased the function of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) genetic polymorphisms(3)(4), induced selective ER modulation could be a therapeutic target(3) for PID.

Ginseng is a slow-growing perennial plants with fleshy roots, the genus Panax, belongings to the family Araliaceae. Depending to the climate where it grows, ginseng can be classified mainly into Panax ginseng Asian ginseng (root), Red ginseng, wild ginseng, American ginseng (root). American ginseng reduced hormone levels (PGE2, FSH, and LH) and normalized the E2 secretion approached normal levels of that protected the ovary against POF by regulating prostaglandin biosynthesis, ovulation, and preventing ovarian aging(5).

According to the Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine, in rat model study, American ginseng may effectively prevent POF and alleviate POF symptoms by regulating serum hormone levels and altering the expression levels of genes related to POF in ovarian tissue(6).

Resveratrol, a phytochemical in the class of Stilbenoids, found abundantly grape wine, also expressed inhibited of premature ovarian failure through inhibiting the NF-κB pathway in the early stages of the follicle development process(7)

The combination of smoothie with single ingredient Green Tea, Americam Ginseng and Grape may hold a key in further studies in production of an effective natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of Premature Ovarian Failure without induced adverse effects

Women who are at increased risk of Premature Ovarian Failure due to family history,... should drink at least one cup daily. Women with Premature Ovarian Failure, should drink no more than 4 serving daily depending to the digestive toleration.

Most Common Diseases of 50plus: Pulmonary vascular disease(Respiratory disease): Pulmonary arterial hypertension - The Phytochemicals

The Prevention: Phytochemicals

Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is associated with lower levels of the pulmonary vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) and its biochemical reaction products (nitrite [NO(2) (-)], nitrate [NO(3) (-)]), in part, due to the reduction in pulmonary endothelial NO synthesis. According to the study by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, in the testing of nitrotyrosine and antioxidants glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase, and SOD were evaluated in IPAH patients and healthy controls, indicated that SOD and GPx activities were decreased in IPAH lungs (all p 0.2). SOD activity was directly related to exhaled NO (eNO) (R(2)= 0.72, p= 0.002), and inversely related to bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) NO(3) (-) (R(2)=-0.73, p= 0.04). Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) could be predicted by a regression model incorporating SOD, GPx, and NO(3) values (R(2)= 0.96, p= 0.01). These findings suggest that SOD and GPx are associated with alterations in NO and PAP in IPAH(31).
1. L-carnitine
In the study of a total of 66 pulmonary arterial hypertension patients (14 idiopathic, 36 congenital heart disease associated and 16 connective-tissue disease associated PAH, WHO heart functional class III, n = 38 or IV, n = 28) to investigate the efficacy of L-carnitine in patients with right-sided heart failure induced by pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), found that L-carnitine could improve short-term exercise capacity and WHO heart functional class in right-sided heart failure patients induced by PAH(32).
2. Retinoic acid
Retinoic acid has antimitogenic effects on smooth muscle cells. Studies on the systemic circulation suggest that it may reduce vascular thickening. In the study to study examine retinoid levels in plasma of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension and the effects of retinoic acid on human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell growth, showed that Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients have reduced retinoic acid levels, and retinoic acid treatment can elicit growth-inhibitory signals in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells in vitro. Thus, retinoic acid may influence pulmonary vascular remodeling in humans(33).
3. Vitamin C
There is areport of 40-year-old female patient who developed severe pulmonary hypertension and life-threatening right-sided heart failure in association with dietary scurvy and iron deficiency. Supplementation with oral vitamin C and iron very likely contributed to her complete cure(34).
4. Genistein
Pretreatment with a phytoestrogen genistein has been shown to attenuate the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Because PH is not always diagnosed early. In the study to examine whether genistein could also reverse preexisting established PH and prevent associated right heart failure (RHF), found that Genistein restored PH-induced downregulation of estrogen receptor-β expression in the right ventricle and lung. In conclusion, genistein therapy not only rescues preexisting severe PH but also prevents the progression of severe PH to RHF(35).
5. Resveratrol
Resveratrol, a sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) pathway activator, can prevent the development of PH in a commonly used animal model, but it is unclear whether it can reverse established PH pathophysiology. Furthermore, atrophic ubiquitin ligases, such as atrogin-1 and MuRF-1, are known to be induced by SIRT1 activators but have not been characterized in hypertrophic vascular disease. Therefore, we hypothesized that monocrotaline (MCT)-induced PH would attenuate atrophy pathways in the PA while, conversely, SIRT1 activation (resveratrol) would reverse indices of PH and restore atrophic gene expression, according to the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center(36).

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).

The Antioxidants

Antioxidants found abundantly in fruits and vegetables can enhance the immune system fighting against forming of free radicals causes of irregular cell growth and foreign invasion of inflammation and infection.
1. Vitamin C
Vitamin C, one of most powerful free radical scavengers, played an important role in prevention of domino effects of imbalance of estrogen may be a potent antioxidant effectively in normalization of the impaired oxidant/antioxidant system and delayed complication of RA(161). Dr, Al-Okbi SY in the study of elevated oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers suggested that vitamin C can be used as as complementary medicine to manage rheumatoid arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities(162).
But Dr. Rosenbaum CC and the research team at the the Bethesda North Hospital Pharmacy iunsisted that more high quality research are necessary before supplements including vitamin C can be effectively and safely recommended to reduce nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug or steroid usage"(163)

2. Vitamin E
Low intake of vitamin E and selenium have been found to the RA elder patient(166).Vitamin E, another free radical scavenger may also be effective for patient with RA due to its positive effect on autoimmune disease by decreasing proinflammatory cytokines and lipid mediator(164). Dr. Aryaeian N. in the investigation of the effectiveness of supplements in RA, showed that the procession of property in promoted immunity and involvement of inflammatory parameters may put vitamin E in front of other rheumatoid arthritis (RA)management supplements(165).

3. Glucosamine
Glucosamine, a compound of the simple sugar glucose and the amino acid glutamine, is a precursor for glycosaminoglycans may be another antioxidant used for management of symptoms of patient with RA, according to the study of 25 patients in the glucosamine group and 26 patients in the placebo group(167). Dr. Matsuno H. and the research team at the Matsuno Clinic for Rheumatic Diseases, said" (oral administration of) glucosamine-chondroitin-quercetin glucoside (GCQG) for 3 months showed a significant improvement in pain symptoms, daily activities (walking and climbing up and down stairs), and visual analogue scale, and changes in the synovial fluid properties"(168) in patient of OA and RA. Further more, the supplement also found to consist the therapeutic potential for arthritis by exerting antioxidative and immunomodulatory effects(169).

4. Methylsulfonylmethane
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), an antioxidant with organosulfur compound has shown to involve in reduced the progression of inflammatory processes in RA patient(170). The Jazan University study in the comparison of the effectiveness of Echinacea extract and composite glucosamine, chondroitin and methyl sulfonyl methane supplements, showed that both ingredient exhibit anti inflammation, oedema and mild proliferation of synovial cells activities, through reduced cartilage damage and bone density of that may be a promising light on arthritis treatment(171)

The Best Smoothie of Green Tea, Tomato and Brazil Nut for Prevention and Treatment of Mastitis

1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea, a slice of ginger and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and let cool to room temperature)
1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.
3. Serve immediately
Candida albicans are members of a large group of micro organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within the membranes, including yeast, fungi, and mold that live among the gut flora in the human mouth and gastrointestinal tract. In fact, under normal circumstances, Candida albicans that do not cause harmful effects, but overgrowth results in candidiasis(1)

The finding of a natural source for reduced risk and treatment of Mastitis to replace the conventional medicine has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Mastitis is a bacteria induced inflammation of breast tissue causing breast pain, swelling, warmth and redness.
Recent studies from well known institutions suggested that Green tea may process naturally potential ingredients, for reduced risk and treatment for Mastitis.

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Due to its commercial values and health effects, green tea now has been cultivated all over the world in suitable climate. Its phytochemical EGCG normalized LPS-induced low activities of antioxidant enzymes as well as decreased the high levels of inflammatory cytokine into the duct of mammary gland(1).

According to the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, EGCG also expressed anti microbial effect against antibiotics-resistant strains of S. aureus in control of bovine mastitis and food poisoning caused by S. aureus(2).

Vitamin A(Tomato or carrot), is a fat soluble vitamin was found to associate with low concentrations in cow with severity of mastitis(3). According to the University of Guelph, a 100 ng/mL increase in serum retinol was associated with a 60% decrease in the risk of early lactation clinical mastitis(4).

Dr. Erskine RJ said, " vitamins A (or beta-carotene) and E status should be monitored in herds" to prevent risk for mastitis and reproductive disorders(5).

Selenium one of most powerful antioxidant mineral found abundantly in Brazil nut may be used for prevention and treatment of mastitis and improved milk quality in dairy herds, according to the Ohio State University(6).

Dr. Hogan JS and colleagues at the Ohio State University suggested the important role of selenium in exhibition of immune modulated effect against mastitis, in animal model(7).

The effectiveness of Green Tea, Tomato and Brazil Nut may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for for Reduced Risk and treatment of Mastitis with little or no adverse effects.

Women who are at increased risk of Mastitis may drink at least one serving daily and women with Mastitis may drink as much as they can, depending to the digestive toleration.
Life style and dietary patter change are recommended.

Most Common Diseases of 50plus: Pulmonary vascular disease(Respiratory disease): Pulmonary arterial hypertension - The Diet

The Prevention: Diet

1. Dietary nitrate
According to the study by the Queen Mary University of London, dietary nitrate (vegetables, fruit, and processed meats) and to a lesser extent dietary nitrite, elicit pulmonary dilatation, prevent pulmonary vascular remodeling, and reduce the right ventricular hypertrophy characteristic of PH. This favorable pharmacodynamic profile depends on endothelial NO synthase and xanthine oxidoreductase -catalyzed reduction of nitrite to NO. Exploitation of this mechanism (ie, dietary nitrate/nitrite supplementation) represents a viable, orally active therapy for PH(28).
2. Fish oil
In the study of the effects of dietary polyunsaturated fats on chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension were assessed in rats fed fish oil, corn oil, or a lower fat, “high-carbohydrate” diet (regular) beginning 1 mo before the start of hypoxia (0.4 atm, n = 30 for each), showed that fish oil diet increased lung eicosapentaenoic acid 50-fold and depleted lung arachidonic acid 60% (P less than 0.0001 for each). Lung thromboxane B2 and 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha levels were lower, and platelet aggregation, in response to collagen, was reduced in rats fed fish oil. Chronically hypoxic rats fed fish oil had lower mortality rates than the other hypoxic rats. They also had lower blood viscosity, as well as less right ventricular hypertrophy and less peripheral extension of vascular smooth muscle to intra-acinar pulmonary arteries (P less than 0.05 for each). The mechanism by which dietary fish oil decreases pulmonary hypertension and vascular remodeling during chronic hypoxia remains uncertain(29).
3. Dietary phytoestrogens
In the study totest the hypothesis that phytoestrogenic compounds in the diet contributed to the female cardioprotectionfour groups of female rats were studied: sham-operated (Sham) and fistula (Fist) rats fed a diet with [P(+)] or without [P(-)] phytoestrogens. Eight weeks postfistula, systolic and diastolic cardiac function was assessed by using a blood-perfused, isolated heart preparation. High-phytoestrogen diet had no effect on body, heart, and lung weights, or cardiac function in Sham rats., showed that hypothesized that phytoestrogenic compounds in the diet contributed to the female cardioprotection(30).
