Hyperprolinaemia is a condition characterized by overexpression of the level of prolactin in the blood produced by the lactotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland.
Normally, the expression of hormone prolactin is to enhance breast development during pregnancy and to induce lactation.
In non-pregnant women, elevated levels of prolactin can disrupt the normal menstrual period in women, causing the complication of infertility, abnormal lactation, amenorrhea, irregular periods, breast pain and painful sexual intercourse.
Most common caused of the onset of hyperlactatemia is the result of the growth of a tumor on the pituitary gland. Most cases of the pituitary gland are noninvasive, however, if the tumor is growing large enough, it can suppress the nearby nerve cells, causing headache and vision problems.
Some researchers suggested the syndrome can also be caused by long-term use of certain medication.
Dr. Daria La Torre, the lead author in the study "Pharmacological causes of hyperprolactinemia" said, "Several drugs may determine a significant increase in prolactin serum concentration that is frequently associated with symptoms. The so-called typical antipsychotics are frequently responsible for drug-related hyperprolactinemia"
And, "Risperidone is one of the atypical neuroleptics most likely to induce hyperprolactinemia, while other atypical drugs are infrequently and only transiently associated with increase of prolactin levels" and "Antidepressant drugs with serotoninergic activity, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO-I) and some tricyclics, can cause hyperprolactinemia.".
Therefore, if you are taking the above medication, please make sure you discuss the problem with your doctor.
In fact, some women experience the syndrome of hyperprolactinemia with unknown causes.
Most common conventional treatment target the symptoms and reducing the size of the tumor. The unknown causes of hyperprolactinemia are treated with synthetic thyroid hormone.
Medication used for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia including Medical treatment of dopamine agonists (DA): bromocriptine, lisuride, quinagolide, and cabergoline. And in over 80% of cases, these drugs induce normal prolactinemia and ovulatory cycles.
If you are taking one of these medications for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia, please make you know all the side effects
Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region,.
The plant has been used in herbal medicine for thousands of year as an anaphrodisiac herb and considered a Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts by taking it in a prolonged period of time.
There was a report that chaste tree berry stems and leaves used by women as bedding "to cool the heat of lust" during the time of the Thesmophoria.
With an aim to reaffirming the traditional use of Vitex agnus-castus L. (chaste tree; chaste berry for the treatment of a range of female reproductive conditions in Anglo-American and European practice, researchers at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology-University conducted an experiment to examine the effect of the herbal medicine in women with premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and latent hyperprolactinaemia.
In the search based on the Cochrane risk of bias and Jadad scales on the database of medical literature identifies 13 Thirteen randomized, controlled trials and twelve are included in this review, of which eight investigated premenstrual syndrome, two premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and two latent hyperprolactinemia.
Application of the Vitex agnus-castus in latent hyperprolactinemia suggested that the herbal medicine is superior compared to placebo for reducing TRH-stimulated prolactin secretion, normalizing a shortened luteal phase, increasing mid-luteal progesterone and 17β-oestradiol levels.
And Vitex comparable to bromocriptine for reducing serum prolactin levels and ameliorating cyclic mastalgia. Adverse events with Vitex were mild and generally infrequent.
These results indicated, Vitex extracts in the treatment of premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and latent hyperprolactinemia.
Furthermore, Dr, Milewicz A, in the finding natural medicine with no side effect in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia conducted a randomized double-blind study vs. placebo to evaluate the efficacy of a Vitex agnus castus preparation (Strotan capsules) vs. placebo.
The clinical study involved 52 women with luteal phase defects due to latent hyperprolactinemia.
The participants were given a daily dose of one capsule (20 mg) Vitex agnus castus preparation and placebo.
In the assessment of the blood for hormonal analysis taken at days 5-8 and day 20 of the menstrual cycle before and after three months of therapy.
Women who were received the Vitex agnus castus preparation showed a reduction of prolactin release after 3 months.
The shortened luteal phases of these women were normalized and deficits in the luteal progesterone synthesis were eliminated.
These changes were significant and occurred only in the Vitex group.
Side effects were not seen during the experiment and two women treated with the Vitex agnus castus preparation got pregnant.
Taken altogether, Chaste tree berry (Vitex agnus-castus) may be considered a functional herb for the prevention and an adjunct therapy combined with the primary medicine for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia

Ginger, Relieves Pain and Reduced Disability of Patients with Osteoarthritis
Ginger may have a potential and positive effect in ameliorating the symptoms of pain and complication of reduced quality of life in patients with osteoarthritis, some scientists suggested.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic condition of a type of joint disease characterized by the breaking down of joint cartilage and underlying bone due to “wear and tear” of joints over time.
Some researchers suggested that OA is a degenerative disease characterized by “low-grade inflammation” in cartilage and synovium, affecting the joint structure and progressive deterioration of cartilage.
According to the statistic from the NIH, osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder in the US. Among adults, 60 years of age or older the prevalence of symptomatic knee and sadly OA affects approximately 10% in men and 13% in women.
Epidemiological strongly suggested that obese and overweight which have a strong impact on the weight-bearing joints, genetic preposition of a patient can make such patient more susceptible to the disease compared to others do not, people with a joint injury that did heal properly in the younger age and people with occupations that require standing for long periods of time, repetitive bending, heavy lifting or other movements and the increase in age are associated to the increased risk of the onset of the disease.
The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis are joint pain and stiffness.
Dr. Giuseppe Musumeci, the lead author in the study "Osteoarthritis in the XXIst Century: Risk Factors and Behaviours that Influence Disease Onset and Progression" suggested that besides the risk factors mentioned above, dietary factors also play an important role for the onset of the disease.
In the dietary aspect in the induction of OA, the research team wrote, "This diet (The Western diet) is mainly constituted by preservative and harmful substances, such as animal fat and glucose excessive concentration and lack of nutritional factors, such as vitamins and nutrient minerals essential for our body. Moreover, the bad dietary habits may predispose people to obesity, which is responsible for both metabolic destroying processes affecting the cartilage and overload of the joints, especially hips and knees".
And, " quantity and quality of nutrient intake. Low intake of vitamin D and vitamin C is a possible risk factor for knee OA, while certain food groups, such as milk and dairy products, meat and poultry are beneficial for knee OA. Thus we could affirm that nutritional imbalance, combined with endocrine abnormalities, may be involved in the pathogenesis of OA".
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.
The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.
With an aim to reaffirm the traditional use of ginger for the treatment of osteoarthritis, a joint review led by the Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg was conducted to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of oral ginger for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis (OA).
The study was carried out by searching the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing oral ginger treatment with placebo in OA patients aged >18 years satisfied the predetermined guidelines and criteria, including the outcomes of the reduction in pain and disability.
Out of 122 retrieved references, 117 were discarded, only 5 five trials (593 patients) were selected for meta-analyses.
All 5 remained studies suggested that ginger intake scored a statistically significant pain reduction.
Furthermore, application of ginger in subjects with osteoarthritis demonstrates a statistically significant reduction in disability compared to control.
However, according to the returned questionnaires from the participants, researchers surprisingly found that patients given ginger are more than twice as likely to discontinue treatment compared to placebo.
Dr. Mozaffari-Khosravi H, the lead author, launched a joint study to determine the ginger powder effects in relieving pain and inflammation in patients with osteoarthritis.
120 participants selected for the randomized double-blind placebo-controlled 3-month clinical trial for knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the ginger group (GG) or the placebo group (PG).
Ginger selected group was given capsules containing 500 mg of ginger powder, while the PG group was given capsules filled with 500 mg starch.
At the baseline, proinflammatory cytokine concentrations did not differ by group, observed by the participant's blood sample.
After 3 months, GG showed a significant reduction of cytokines compared to the PG.
In the final report, the research team wrote, "ginger supplementation may have promising benefits for knee osteoarthritis".
These results reconfirming the use of ginger for the treatment of osteoarthritis in traditional medicine with no side effects

Strawberries, A Potential Anti Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Prostate Cancer Functional Food
Scientists may have found a tasty whole fruit for the prevention and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) and prostate cancer with no side effects, according to studies.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia happened mostly in the older age population group is a condition of an enlarged prostate that can cause some serious urinary symptoms, such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder.
In many cases, an enlarged prostate can also induce bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems and prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is slow growth and a medical condition characterized by cell growth disorderly and uncontrollably in the prostate tissue.
Most cases of prostate cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the prostate gland
At the advanced stage, the cancerous cell can travel a distance away from the prostate to infect other healthy tissue, through blood and fluid circulation.
The causes of prostate cancer are unknown. Epidemiologically, researchers do know that the increase in age, ethnicity, family history, genetic preposition of BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 and agent orange exposure are associated with an increased risk of the disease.
Some researchers suggested that a poor eating habit and lifestyle are the most common risk factors associated with the onset of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. Therefore, by changing to a healthy diet, the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer may be preventable.
Dr. Devrim E, in the concern of the widespread of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), over last few decades said, "garlic and its preparations have been used for the treatment of prostate cancer and relief of BPH symptoms for decades. It is thought that the mechanism(s) through which garlic may show anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects".
These results suggested adding garlic into your diet daily can decrease the incidence of both benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer with no side effects.
Strawberry is a genius of Fragaria × ananassa belongs to the family Roseaceae. They have been grown all over the world with a suitable climate for commercial profits and for health benefits.
Starting at age 40, the levels of the by-product prolactin of testosterone of men increases, stimulating the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT triggering prostate enlargement and other problems. Therefore in order to prevent the symptoms of enlarged prostate is to naturally impend the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Unfortunately, aging is not the only cause of enlarged prostate. Prostate Cancer is defined as a condition of the abnormal proliferation of cells in the prostate.
The major chemical compounds include anthocyanin and ellagitannins and p-Hydroxybenzoic acid, p-coumaric acid, ellagic acid, cyanidin-3-glucoside, pelargonidin-3-glucoside, kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin.
With an aim to find the natural compound which processes the potency to inhibit the benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common disease of the prostate that affects men as they age, and a risk factor for developing prostate cancer with no side effects, researchers at the Monash University looked into the anti BPH activity of lycopene found abundantly in the strawberry by searching the database of medical literature.
Out many medical studies were examined, only 8 published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing lycopene to placebo (or other interventions) for the treatment of BPH and prostate cancer met the inclusion criteria were selected for this systematic review.
Meta-analysis of two studies indicated a decrease in PSA levels in men diagnosed with prostate cancer, who received lycopene compared to placebo.
In a human prostate epithelial cell line (P21) and two tumor cell lines (P21 tumor cell line 1 and 2) derived from the same patient, and a normal human breast epithelial cell line (B42) and a tumor line derived from it (B42 clone 16), researchers examined the cytotoxic effects of strawberry polyphenols.
By applying the polyphenol-rich extract derived from strawberry or anthocyanin or tannin-rich sub-fractions to the cell lines in doses varying from 50 to 1.5 microg/ml, researchers discovered the strawberry extract inhibited over 50% in cell survival of both the normal and the tumor lines with the doses of approximately 5 microg/ml.
The extracts were found to exert cytotoxicity to peripheral blood human lymphocytes with the doses higher levels 20 microg/ml for the similar effect of 50% reduction in cell survival.
Compound analysis assay suggested that the cytotoxicity was retained in the tannin-rich fraction was considerably more toxic to all cells (normal or tumor cell lines or lymphocytes) than the anthocyanin-rich fraction the tannin-rich fraction.
Furthermore, In LNCaP and PC-3) tumor cell lines, strawberry extract with concentrations of 50 microg/ml was required for 50% reduction in cell survival.
The finding suggested that strawberry processed high amounts of bioactive compounds may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer without inducing any side effects

Manuka Honey, the Best for the Prevention and Treatment of Acute and Chronic Inflammatory Diseases
Honey may the next pharmaceutical target to identify the single ingredient medicine for the treatment of choric inflammatory disease, some scientists suggested.
Inflammation is a natural and systematic response of the immune system in the protection of the body against infection caused by the invasion of stimuli and pathogens.
After sensing the bodily injury or damage, the white blood cells of the immune first line of defense stimulates the production of a blood clot to seal the would quickly and proinflammatory cytokine to the site of infection with an aim to kill off all microorganisms which may cause harm to our body.
In this acute phase of the battle, most of the times are won by the immune system. However, overexpression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines can lead the death of nearby healthy cells and improper skin healing with the formation of scars.
In some cases, certain proteins with duo anti and proinflammatory function also can switch to pro-inflammatory cytokines depending on the severity of the infection.
Chronic inflammation is a medical condition that lasts longer than 8 weeks, caused by the inability of the immune system to kill off all the microorganisms that have successfully entered the body during the acute phase of infection.
Some researchers suggested that the evolution of the immune system is to kill off the foreign micro invaders within the time frames of 8 weeks. If not, the immune system will adapt to the change, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, a major cause of many chronic illnesses, including diabetes.
In some instances, chronic inflammation can also be caused by the immune system that mistakenly attacks the bodily tissue.
Dr. Philip Hunter in the study "The inflammation theory of disease" pinpointed the important cause of diseases associated with chronic inflammation, "Maria Abreu's research group at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine in the USA found that the incidence of colon cancer was linked directly to the expression of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) gene".
"TLRs are crucial in alerting the immune system to microbial infection, triggering acute inflammatory responses that clear invading pathogens. However, TLR4 can also maintain chronic inflammation, for example by responding to commensal bacteria in the gut. As such bacteria are constantly replenished through food intake, and therefore cannot be permanently cleared by the immune system, this can lead to persistent chronic infection maintained by TLRs. "
Honey is the miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The rich golden liquid is considered one of healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.
On finding an ingredient or whole food for the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, scientists at the Menoufia University examine the honey effects in a rat model of colitis induced by the injection of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS).
Application of natural honey showed a strong effect in the prevention of tissue injury and inflammatory infiltration by inhibited by proteins associated with the production of proinflammatory cytokine and overexpression of reactive oxygen species.
Further examination of the honey effect, researchers indicated that the honey-treated group had significantly improved macroscopic and microscopic scores and inhibited the apoptotic markers.
At the end of the experiment, researchers said, "the beneficial role of natural honey in the treatment of DSS-induced colitis via the inhibition of colonic motor dysfunction and the inflammatory-oxidative-apoptotic cascade" and "the role of honey in epithelial regeneration was clarified", after taking into account co and confounders.
Moreover, in order to understand the gastroprotective effects of manuka honey against ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in rats, researchers examined the joint studies led by King Abdulaziz University, including 4 our groups of rats randomly assigned to control, ethanol (ulcer), omeprazole, and manuka honey.
During the stud, Manuka honey treated group displayed a significantly decreased the ulcer index, completely protected the mucosa from lesions, and preserved gastric mucosal glycoprotein.
Manuka honey treated group also showed increased levels of antioxidants enzymes which were suppressed by the injection of ethanol to an induced ulcer.
Manuka honey also decreased gastric mucosal MDA, the oxidative stress marker and plasma of proinflammatory cytokines.
Dr. Almasaudi SB, the lead scientist wrote in the final report, "manuka honey likely exerted its antiulcer, effect by keeping enzymatic (GPx and SOD) and nonenzymatic (GSH and NO) antioxidants as well as inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) in a reduced form, inhibited lipid peroxidation (MDA), and preserved mucous glycoproteins levels".
Taken altogether, Manuka honey may be considered a functional food for the prevention of inflammation and combined with the primary medicine for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases with no side effects.

Inflammation is a natural and systematic response of the immune system in the protection of the body against infection caused by the invasion of stimuli and pathogens.
After sensing the bodily injury or damage, the white blood cells of the immune first line of defense stimulates the production of a blood clot to seal the would quickly and proinflammatory cytokine to the site of infection with an aim to kill off all microorganisms which may cause harm to our body.
In this acute phase of the battle, most of the times are won by the immune system. However, overexpression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines can lead the death of nearby healthy cells and improper skin healing with the formation of scars.
In some cases, certain proteins with duo anti and proinflammatory function also can switch to pro-inflammatory cytokines depending on the severity of the infection.
Chronic inflammation is a medical condition that lasts longer than 8 weeks, caused by the inability of the immune system to kill off all the microorganisms that have successfully entered the body during the acute phase of infection.
Some researchers suggested that the evolution of the immune system is to kill off the foreign micro invaders within the time frames of 8 weeks. If not, the immune system will adapt to the change, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, a major cause of many chronic illnesses, including diabetes.
In some instances, chronic inflammation can also be caused by the immune system that mistakenly attacks the bodily tissue.
Dr. Philip Hunter in the study "The inflammation theory of disease" pinpointed the important cause of diseases associated with chronic inflammation, "Maria Abreu's research group at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine in the USA found that the incidence of colon cancer was linked directly to the expression of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) gene".
"TLRs are crucial in alerting the immune system to microbial infection, triggering acute inflammatory responses that clear invading pathogens. However, TLR4 can also maintain chronic inflammation, for example by responding to commensal bacteria in the gut. As such bacteria are constantly replenished through food intake, and therefore cannot be permanently cleared by the immune system, this can lead to persistent chronic infection maintained by TLRs. "

Chinese Celery, the Prominent Post Stroke Treatment Functional Food
Scientists may have found a whole food for the treatment and improvement of the quality of life of post-stroke patients and without inducing any side effects, according to studies.
Stroke is a medical condition caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, leading to the death of brain cells due to lack of oxygen or bleeding.
In other words, a stroke can either be results of a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke).
A mini-stroke is a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain that only causes some disruption to the brain with inducing permanent damage.
Depending on the parts of the neuron being damage, patients may experience different symptoms. However, most common symptoms of stroke include paralysis or numbness of the face, arm or leg, problems in vision, speaking, walking and persistent headache.
Certain medical conditions such as diabetes. heart diseases, long-term use of tobacco, the increase in age, ethnicity are some prevalent risk factors of stroke.
Out of many risk factors, people who have hypertension, particularly untreated hypertension and follow the Western diet are at increased risk of the onset of stroke, according to epidemiological studies.
In examining the post-stroke patients, a poor diet pattern with a high in saturated and trans fat, red meat and processed foods have been found in the high percentage, compared to the traditional diet.
Dr. Mehdi Foroughi, the lead scientist in the study of poor diet in risk of stoke wrote, " adherence to the improvements in nutrition and diet can reduce the incidence of stroke. Higher antioxidant, vitamins, potassium, calcium, vegetables, fruits, whole grain intake, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet or DASH diet can lower stroke incidence".
The statement clearly suggested that a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetable and whole grain and low in red meat, saturated fat and trans fat, and processed food is the best for prevention and stroke.
Celery is a species of Apium graveolens, belonging to the family Apiaceae. The plant is cultivated all around the globe as a vegetable.
Celery can grow to 1/2 m tall with stalks (leaf on the top) arranging in a conical shape joined at a common base.
On finding a natural ingredient with no side effect for the treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke, researchers evaluated the Dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), first isolated from the seeds of celery, efficacy in animal models of stroke.
The randomized, double-blind, double-dummy trial included 573 patients within 48 hours of onset of ischemic stroke in China.
Patients were randomly assigned to receive a 14-day infusion of NBP followed by an NBP capsule, a 14-day infusion of NBP followed by aspirin, or a 14-day infusion of ozagrel followed by aspirin.
After taking into account co and confounder, among the 535 subjects included in the efficacy analysis, 90-day treatment with NBP demonstrated a significant improvement than 14-day treatment with ozagrel as measured by the modified Rankin scale (mRS).
Where Ozagrel (INN) is an antiplatelet agent working as a thromboxane A2 synthesis inhibitor.
According to Barthel index at day 90, there is no significant difference among the three groups. The rate of adverse events was similar among the three groups.
Furthermore, on a stroke induced by the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY), researchers compared the results of the pre-treatment of NBP administered to SHR and WKY daily for two months prior to MCAO and post-treatment of NBP given daily for seven consecutive days after MCAO.
In SHR, NBP pre- and post-treatment significantly lowered neurological deficit scores, reduced infarct volume, and minimized pathological changes in the penumbra area compared to oil-vehicle treated controls.
In other words, NBP pre- and post-treatment reduced the potential damage penumbra area through its neuroprotective activity.
However, in WKY, these beneficial effects were observed only in the post-treatment group, compared to SHR.
Dr. Zhang L, at the end of the experiment, wrote, "NBP could exert both preventive and therapeutic effects on ischemic stroke in SHR, but only exerted a therapeutic effect in WKY".
Taken altogether, Chinese celery processed high amounts of Dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) may be considered a functional food for the post-treatment of patients with stroke.

Honey, The Functional Food Which Kills Bladder Cancer Cells in Vivo and Vitro, Scientists Find
Scientists may have found a natural food source which processes the potential for the treatment of bladder cancer with no side effects, some studies suggested.
Bladder cancer is a medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the bladder.
Most cases of the primary bladder cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the bladder tissue.
At the early stage, most bladder cancers do not cause any symptoms. However, at the advanced stage, the prostate can cause a distance metastasis to infect other healthy tissue and organ through the circulation of blood and fluids.
At this advanced stage, patients may experience symptoms of pain and blood in the urine caused by the proliferative tumor suppressing the nerve cells and breaking the blood vessels in the bladder.
Researchers do not the exact causes of bladder cancer. But certain risk factors such as tobacco use, aging, gender, ethnicity, long-term bladder condition and exposure to chemicals are at a higher risk of the onset of the disease.
The warning from the FDA also suggested the diabetes drug pioglitazone for more than 1 year may have a higher risk of developing bladder cancer.
In fact, most people with some of the above risk factors have never developed bladder cancer even they are associated with the increased risk all their life.
Although most scientists agree that tobacco use is the major cause of bladder cancer, genetic preposition, according to the epidemiological studies is also the substantial risk of bladder cancer, such as the genetic mutations in some chromosomal genes, such as FGFR3, RB1, HRAS, TP53, TSC1, and others, occur which form tumors in the urinary bladder.
Sadly, People with gene mutation are at the 70 % higher risk of bladder cancer compared to those do not.
Dr. Zhang X, the lead author in the study "Bladder Cancer and Genetic Mutations" specified, "The changes in the genes of human chromosome 9 are usually responsible for tumor in bladder cancer, but the genetic mutation of chromosome 22 can also result in bladder cancer". and "The 18 different bladder tumors were evaluated, and 11 (61 %) had genetic mutations of p53 gene".
And, "The 18 different bladder tumors were evaluated, and 11 (61 %) had genetic mutations of p53 gene".
Honey, is the miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The rich golden liquid is considered one of healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.
With an aim to find a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of bladder cancer without inducing any side effects, researchers at the University of Tsukuba conducted an experiment to examine the antitumor effect of bee honey against bladder cancer in vitro and in vivo.
The study included three human bladder cancer cell lines (T24, 253J, and RT4) and one murine bladder cancer cell line (MBT-2).
In vitro studies application of honey significantly inhibited the proliferation of T24 and MBT-2 cell lines by 1-25% honey and of RT4 and 253J cell lines by 6-25% observed by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.
Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling index, an indicator of early tumor response to the injection of honey was lower in vitro.
FCM showed lower S-phase fraction, as well as the absence of aneuploidy compared with control cells.
Flowcytometry (FCM). in the measurement of can cancer cells physical and chemical characteristics showed lower S-phase fraction and the absence of aneuploidy compared with control cells, an indication of inhibitory cancer cells by the application of honey.
Furthermore, In the in vivo, intralesional injection of 6 and 12% honey, as well as oral ingestion of honey, significantly inhibited tumor growth.
These results suggested that bee honey processes a significant activity for inhibiting the growth of T24, RT4, 253J, and MBT-2 bladder cancer cell lines in vitro.
And, honey is also effective when administered intralesionally or orally in the MBT-2 bladder cancer implantation models.
Dr, Swellam T, the lead author after taking into account co and confounders wrote, " Our results are promising,,,,,, the mechanisms of the antitumor activity of honey".
Taken altogether, honey may be considered a functional food for the prevention and an adjunct therapy combined with the primary medicine for the treatment of bladder cancer.
However, further data collection large example size and multi-centers studies performed with human consumption of the whole food or its bioactive compounds during the course of the disease will be necessary to complete the picture of honey anti-bladder cancer possibilities.

Herbal Aloe Vera Juice, the Potent Mouth Wash for Treatment of Oral Mucositis Caused by Chemo and Radiation Therapy in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer
Aloe vera may have a potential effect in reducing the oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer, some scientists suggested.
Head and neck cancer is a class of cancers that start in the mouth, throat, larynx, sinuses, or salivary glands.
At the early stage, cells on the surface of the inner lining associated with head and neck start to grow irregularly and disorderly.
However, at the advanced stage, as cancer has penetrated into the deeper layers, patients may experience symptoms of a lump in the nose, neck or throat, with or without pain, a persistent sore throat that does not heal, trouble swallowing (dysphagia) and frequent and persistent coughing.
In some cases at the advanced stage, cancer cells may travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissue and organs.
Most common head and neck cancer metastases are secondary skin cancer.
Oral mucositis is one of the common side effects in cancer patients who are under chemo and radiation treatment, leading to symptoms of pain, nutritional problems as a result of an inability to eat, and increased risk of infection due to open sores in the mucosa.
The symptom has been found to reduce the quality of life of cancer patients.
According to The Oral Cancer Foundation, patients experience the side effect of oral mucositis after 5 to 10 days of chemotherapy. Normally, the side effect will disappear itself in short few weeks, depending on the types of medicine, doses, and duration of the treatment.
Dr. Begonya Chaveli-López, the lead author in the study "Treatment of oral mucositis due to chemotherapy" wrote, "Very few interventions of confirmed efficacy are available for the management of oral mucositis due to chemotherapy. However, according to the reviewed literature, the use of palifermin, cryotherapy and low power laser offer benefits, reducing the incidence and severity of oral mucositis".
On finding a natural and effective ingredient for the treatment of oral mucositis with no side effects, researchers examined the topical Aloe vera, a widely used for mild sunburn, frostbites, and scalding burns for its effect on mucositis.
Aloe gel showed the beneficial effects of wound healing, mucous membrane protection, and treatment of oral ulcers.
Application of Aloe gel also enhanced the anti-inflammatory, immunomodulation, antifungal, scavenging free radicals, increasing collagen formation and inhibiting collagenase, epidemiological studies suggested.
Oral Aloe vera mouthwash demonstrated significant prevention of radiation-induced mucositis by its wound healing and anti-inflammatory mechanism.
The herbal mouthwash also reduced oral candidiasis of patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy due to its antifungal and immunomodulatory properties.
These efficacies indicated that Aloe vera mouthwash may be considered an alternative potential for treating radiation-induced oral mucositis and candidiasis in patients with head and neck cancers.
Futhermore, in the finding the most effective agent for treatment of oral mucositis, the Haji Mirza Mohammad conducted a triple-blind, randomized controlled trial in the comparison of the Aloe vera mouthwash with a benzydamine mouthwash in the alleviation of radiation-induced mucositis in head and neck cancer patients.
The trial included 26 eligible head and neck cancer patients who were to receive conventional radiation therapy at the radiation oncology department were randomized to receive an Aloe vera mouthwash or a benzydamine mouthwash.
No difference in the distribution of mucositis severity between the two groups, at the baseline.
The mean interval between radiation therapy and the onset of mucositis was similar for both groups.
The mean interval between the start of radiation therapy and the maximum severity of mucositis were was also similar in both the Aloe vera and benzydamine groups (Aloe vera 23.38±10.75 days, benzydamine 23.54±15.45 days).
According to the comparison test researchers suggested that the Aloe vera mouthwash could be an alternative agent in the treatment of radiation-induced mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer due to its exertion of the similar effects as of those of beneficial as benzydamine mouthwash in alleviating the severity of radiation-induced mucositis with no side effects.
Taken altogether, herbal Aloe vera juice may be considered a functional juice for the treatment of the side effect of oral mucositis caused by chemo and radiation therapy in patients with head and neck cancer

In some cases at the advanced stage, cancer cells may travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissue and organs.
Most common head and neck cancer metastases are secondary skin cancer.
Oral mucositis is one of the common side effects in cancer patients who are under chemo and radiation treatment, leading to symptoms of pain, nutritional problems as a result of an inability to eat, and increased risk of infection due to open sores in the mucosa.
The symptom has been found to reduce the quality of life of cancer patients.
According to The Oral Cancer Foundation, patients experience the side effect of oral mucositis after 5 to 10 days of chemotherapy. Normally, the side effect will disappear itself in short few weeks, depending on the types of medicine, doses, and duration of the treatment.
Dr. Begonya Chaveli-López, the lead author in the study "Treatment of oral mucositis due to chemotherapy" wrote, "Very few interventions of confirmed efficacy are available for the management of oral mucositis due to chemotherapy. However, according to the reviewed literature, the use of palifermin, cryotherapy and low power laser offer benefits, reducing the incidence and severity of oral mucositis".
On finding a natural and effective ingredient for the treatment of oral mucositis with no side effects, researchers examined the topical Aloe vera, a widely used for mild sunburn, frostbites, and scalding burns for its effect on mucositis.
Aloe gel showed the beneficial effects of wound healing, mucous membrane protection, and treatment of oral ulcers.
Application of Aloe gel also enhanced the anti-inflammatory, immunomodulation, antifungal, scavenging free radicals, increasing collagen formation and inhibiting collagenase, epidemiological studies suggested.
Oral Aloe vera mouthwash demonstrated significant prevention of radiation-induced mucositis by its wound healing and anti-inflammatory mechanism.
The herbal mouthwash also reduced oral candidiasis of patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy due to its antifungal and immunomodulatory properties.
These efficacies indicated that Aloe vera mouthwash may be considered an alternative potential for treating radiation-induced oral mucositis and candidiasis in patients with head and neck cancers.
Futhermore, in the finding the most effective agent for treatment of oral mucositis, the Haji Mirza Mohammad conducted a triple-blind, randomized controlled trial in the comparison of the Aloe vera mouthwash with a benzydamine mouthwash in the alleviation of radiation-induced mucositis in head and neck cancer patients.
The trial included 26 eligible head and neck cancer patients who were to receive conventional radiation therapy at the radiation oncology department were randomized to receive an Aloe vera mouthwash or a benzydamine mouthwash.
No difference in the distribution of mucositis severity between the two groups, at the baseline.
The mean interval between radiation therapy and the onset of mucositis was similar for both groups.
The mean interval between the start of radiation therapy and the maximum severity of mucositis were was also similar in both the Aloe vera and benzydamine groups (Aloe vera 23.38±10.75 days, benzydamine 23.54±15.45 days).
According to the comparison test researchers suggested that the Aloe vera mouthwash could be an alternative agent in the treatment of radiation-induced mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer due to its exertion of the similar effects as of those of beneficial as benzydamine mouthwash in alleviating the severity of radiation-induced mucositis with no side effects.
Taken altogether, herbal Aloe vera juice may be considered a functional juice for the treatment of the side effect of oral mucositis caused by chemo and radiation therapy in patients with head and neck cancer
