Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon as a result of overuse, infection or rheumatic disease.
In other words, people who have an occupation or sport that requires a repetition of particular movement putting stress on the tendons over time are associated with the risk of tendinitis, including the tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, swimmer's shoulder, and jumper's knee.
Most common symptoms of tendinitis are a dull pain that affects limb or joint, tenderness and mild swelling.
Most common prevalent factors of tendinitis are aging, sport, occupation.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the US, tendonitis (swelling of the tendons) is a fairly common problem, accounting for more than 70,000 people to miss work per year.
Tendinitis if untreated may induce complication of tendon rupture, a serious condition that may require surgery.
Long-term or persistently of tendon irritation has been found to induce tendinosis that leads to the degenerative changes in the tendon.
Conventionally, the immediate treatment for tendonitis caused by occupation is rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the injured tendon. pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed to ease inflammation and pain.
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
On finding a natural compound for the treatment of tendinitis, researchers examined the effect of bromelain on patients with rotator cuff tendinitis.
Tenosan * (arginine L-alpha-ketoglutarate, methylsulfonylmethane, hydrolyzed type I collagen and bromelain), a commercial supplement sold in Italy was used in the study to test for its activity in tendon healing and mitigating the pain due to tendonitis.
Participants in the study included 90 consecutive patients with a large, postero-superior rotator cuff tear (RCT). managed with an arthroscopic repair randomly assigned into either Group I with or Group II without the supplement.
Supplement treated group showed a significant effect on the shoulder pain (follow-up: 6 months) and repair integrity on the final follow-up.
In other words, supplement after 3 months and after cuff repair decreases shoulder post-operative pain and a slight improvement in repair integrity.
Additional observation of the results, researchers suggested that these improvements may have a strong impact on the postoperative rehabilitation program and reduced the re-rupture rate.
Taken altogether, bromelain used alone or combined with other herbal remedies may be considered supplements for the treatment of rotator cuff tendinitis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of bromelain in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Green Tea may Serve as Functional Food in Reduced early Onset and Treatment of Hypercholesterolemia
Green tea may be the next potential functional food used in reduced risk of early-onset and treatment of high blood cholesterol, a renowned institute study suggested.
Hypercholesterolemia is a condition of abnormally high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream.
Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine, or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.
According to the University of Agriculture, ethanolic extracts of green tea fed mice in 8 weeks in vivo model expressed significant effects in normalized levels of cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic rats up to 15.45% in compared control.
The study also revealed that administration of green tea does not adversely affect the red blood cell, white blood cell and platelet count of the tested rats.
Additionally, in compared efficacy of black tea (BT) and green tea (GT) in serum and hepatic oxidative abnormalities in hypercholesterolemic rats, after 8 weeks, green and black tea fed groups displayed significantly lower levels of serum and hepatic cholesterol, triglycerides, serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
More importantly, in compared to the control group, a fed group with hypercholesterolemic also expressed lower levels in the serum and hepatic lipid peroxidation, body weight gain, and food efficiency.
Furthermore, in-support of green tea in lower levels of high blood cholesterol, Dr. Nomura S, the lead author at the NARO Institute of Vegetable and Tea Science postulated, the efficacy of green tea with significantly decreased the plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein level in mice fed a high-cholesterol diet is depending to the flavonol-rich tea cultivars.
Taking together, green tea with tons of phytochemicals may be served as functional found with purpose in reduced risk of early-onset and treatment of high blood cholesterol in the adult population.

Herbal Turmeric Suppresses Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) one of the most common forms of arthritis that affects over 25 25 million people in the United States is a chronic inflammatory disease of the joints due to wear and tear over time.
The characteristics of osteoarthritis are aching pain, stiffness, or difficulty of moving the joint or joints. The pain usually gets worse in a change of weather, at night and in the advanced diseases, the pain can occur even at rest.
Conventionally, treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) focuses on pain relief and improved physical function through pharmacological, nonpharmacological, and surgical treatments.
Most common risk factors associated with the onset of OA include genetic preposition, being overweight or obese, previous joint injury and repetitive movements or injuries to joints (such as a fracture, surgery or ligament tears).
However, most people with some of the risk factors have never developed the disease.
Dr. Sally Thomas, the lead scientist in the treatment of OA patients wrote, "As current treatment options in OA are very limited, OA patients would benefit greatly from some ability to self-manage their condition".
And, "For overweight/obese patients, weight reduction, ideally incorporating exercise, is paramount. The association between metabolic syndrome, type-2 diabetes, and OA risk or progression may partly explain the apparent benefit of dietary-lipid modification resulting from increased consumption of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids from oily fish/fish oil supplements. A strong association between OA and raised serum cholesterol together with clinical effects in statin users suggests a potential benefit of reduction of cholesterol by dietary means".
In other words, depending on the causes, patients may be recommended to a specific treatment.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), researchers examined the Curene®, a bioavailable formulation of turmeric anti-inflammatory properties.
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group included 50 subjects aged between 40 and 75 years who were suffering from unilateral or bilateral OA of the knee for greater than 3 months according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria.
The treatment group received 500mg Curene® once daily and the other group received a placebo.
According to the results from the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, Curene® treated group showed a statistically significant reduction of pain score compared to placebo without inducing any adverse effects.
In other words, Curene® 500mg not only reduced pain, stiffness but also improved physical functioning in subjects suffering from knee OA.
In order to reveal more information of turmeric anti OA activity, researchers investigated LI73014F2 is a novel composition prepared from extracts of Terminalia chebula fruit, Curcuma longa rhizome, and Boswellia serrata gum resin in the inhibition of 5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX).
Where activated enzyme 5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX), has been found to induce pain in patients with OA.
In a 90-day randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind study included 105 particpants divded into three groups: placebo (n = 35), 200 mg/day of LI73014F2 (n = 35), and 400 mg/day of LI73014F2 (n = 35).
According to the results from tested assays obtained from the baseline (day 0) and on day 14 ± 3, 30 ± 3, 60 ± 3, and at the end of the study (day 90 ± 3), all doses of LI73014F2 conferred a strong effect in pain relief, improved physical function, and quality of life in OA patients, compared to the baseline.
Dr. Karlapudi V, the lead scientist said, "preclinical and clinical data together strongly suggest that the herbal formulation LI73014F2 is a safe and effective intervention for management of joint discomfort, demonstrating efficacy as early as 14 days".
Based on the findings, turmeric processed a high amount of bioactive curcumin used alone or combined with other herbal medicines may be considered supplements for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Green Tea, The #1 Functional Food for Prevention and Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome
A recent study conducted by a renowned institute suggested that regular drinking of green tea may reduce the risk of prevalence of metabolic syndrome.
Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine, or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.
Metabolic syndrome is a biochemical and physiological factor associated with risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
In a cross-sectional population-based survey including 8,821 adults (51.4% female) conducted in Krakow, Poland., both coffee and tea drinker showed a negatively associated with MetS (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.66, 0.86 and OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.67, 0.92, respectively).
The study also found that high tea consumers had lower BMI, waist circumference, but moderated decreased diastolic blood pressure, as well as negatively correlated central obesity and fasting plasma glucose in women, but not in men, in compared low drinker,
Other, in the study of dietary polyphenols, a major compound found in green tea including 8821 adults (51.4 % female), using food frequency questionnaires and matching food consumption data with the Phenol-Explorer database.conducted in Kraków, Poland, dietary polyphenol intake in the highest quartile was associated inversely to the development of MetS (OR 0.80; 95 % CI 0.64, 0.98 and OR 0.70; 95 % CI 0.56, 0.86 for both men and women, respectively).
Dietary polyphenols in high quality showed a negative association of WC, blood pressure, high lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides in women, and fasting plasma glucose in both gender.
Dr. Grosso G, the lead author said, "(Depending to types of polyphenols) phenolic acids and stilbenes were significantly associated with MetS; lignans and stilbenes with WC; phenolic acids with blood pressure and triglycerides; and flavonoids with fasting plasma glucose" and " Among specific subclasses of polyphenols, hydroxycinnamic acids, flavanols, and dihydrochalcones had the most relevant role."
In support the role of used of polyphenol for treatment of Metabolic syndrome, in a total of 2725 participants free of hypertension at baseline tested for blood pressure or taking hypertensive medication within the last 2 weeks at 2-4-year follow-up visit was conducted by the Integrated Cancer Registry of Catania-Messina-Siracusa-Enna, researchers showed that diet of the highest quartile of total polyphenol intake was associated with 31% decreased risk of hypertension compared with the lowest intake (OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.48, 0.98) in women with no significant association in men.
The study also stated that most influential phytochemicals in reduced risk and treatment of metabolic syndrome ingredients are phenolic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids as they showed an independently associated to lower odds of hypertension (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.47, 0.93) in comparison to others.
Taking together, green tea with major chemical compounds of polyphenol may be used as functional foods in the prevention and treatment of the metabolic syndrome.

Herbal Bilberry Protects the Blood Vessels Against the Risk of Vascular Disease in Vivo
Vasoprotection is the action in which substances including herbal and natural remedy are used to protect the integrity of the blood vessels.
Blood vessels are the tubular structure including a vein, artery, or capillary which carries the blood through the tissues and organs pumped by the heart.
There are 3 main types of blood vessel
* Arteries that deliver oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the tissues and organs of the body. Damage of arteries is found to induce coronary artery disease caused by narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries due to plaques accumulated on the arterial wall.
* Veins that carry blood toward the heart. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common condition associated with disease of the veins that affects up to 20 percent of adults.
* Capillaries (the smallest blood vessels) has been found to induce systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare acquired disorder.
Some researchers suggested that following a healthy diet accompanied by moderate exercise may have a strong impact on the blood vessels integrity.
Dr. Hanrui Zhang said, "Accumulating evidence suggests that inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) plays a pivotal role in the dysregulation of macrovascular and microvascular function".
And, "Dietary supplements and exercise training decrease TNFαproduction and ameliorate TNFα-mediated pathological changes in vasculature. Thus, the inhibitory effects of dietary supplements and physical exercise on TNFα production and TNFα signaling may contribute to their vasoprotective properties".
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant berry has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, and psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
On finding a natural ingredient which processes vasoactive and vasoprotective properties, researchers examined the effects of anthocyanin-rich extracts prepared from chokeberry (Ck), bilberry (B), or elderberry (E). on reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical role in the impairment of nitric oxide-mediated vascular functions.
In Coronary arterial rings isolated from 64 pigs and incubated in sterile tissue culture media overnight, Ck and B, but not E, produced dose- and endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation.
In coronary vascular tone, endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation by other factors was not affected by exposure of rings to any extract at 0.05 mg total anthocyanins per liter for 5 or 30 min.
Furthermore, anthocyanin-enhanced extracts produce endothelium-dependent relaxation in porcine coronary arteries.
However, high doses of B exerted a significantly protective effect against alternation of coronary arteries induced by ROS with no effect on vasorelaxation to endogenous or exogenous NO.
Based on the findings, researchers wrote, "These results suggest that such extracts could have significant beneficial effects in vascular disease".
Taken altogether, bilberry processed abundantly bioactive compound anthocyanin may be considered a functioning remedy for the prevention and treatment of vascular disease, pending to the validation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Green Tea, The Best functional food for Prevention and Treatment of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Green tea may be considered as a functional food in lower risk and treatment for patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a respectable institute opinionated.
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is a condition caused by over accumulated of fat in the liver.
Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine, or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory. Adding a slice of ginger will solve the aversion.
According to the University of Connecticut, Storrs, the efficacy of green tea for the treatment of obese patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated to polyphenolic catechins in the induction of hypolipidemic, thermogenic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities.
These chemical compound have also found to mitigate the occurrence and progression of NAFLD.
Dr. Masterjohn C, the lead author said, "(The phytochemical compounds) demonstrating the hepatoprotective properties of green tea and its catechins and the proposed mechanisms by which these targeted dietary agents protect against NAFLD"
Furthermore, in mice fed on a high-fat diet for 24 weeks., then injected with EGCG (10, 20 and 40 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1), ip), for 4 weeks, researchers found that treated mice showed a significant improvement of high-fat diet in induced the body weight, grade 2 or 3 liver fatty degeneration (steatosis, lobular inflammation, and ballooning), severe hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance..
The phytochemical EGCG, in dose-dependent also enhanced insulin clearance and upregulated IDE protein expression and enzyme activity in regulated levels of glucose in the liver of treated mice.
In fact, EGCG not only promoted weigh loss but also attenuated symptoms of mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Promisingly, in the study of green tea polyphenols (GTP) on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Zucker fatty (ZF) rats, researches also indicated that, GTP intervention not only decreased weight gain and significantly lowered visceral fat but also reduced fasting serum insulin, glucose, and lipids levels, through ameliorated expression of hepatic TG accumulation and cytoplasmic lipid droplet as well as diminished hepatic lipogenesis and triglycerides outflux from liver.
Taking together, green tea has expressed a significant enhancement in reduced risk and treatment of
nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, through many aspects. But large amount of intake regularly should be taken with care to prevent toxicity.

Antioxidants Carotenoids Protect the Colonic Cells Integrity Against Colon Cancer
The colon or large intestine formed part of the digestive system plays a critical role to remove waste products from your body.
In other words, the colon works alongside with other digestive organs to remove stool and maintain your fluid and electrolyte balance.
The colon begins at the end of the small intestine and ends at the rectum.
More precisely, the large intestine can be broken into six sections including the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and the rectum.
Colon cancer is a medical condition caused by irregular cell growth in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the colon tissues. At the early stage, most patients are assymptomatic.
Colon cancer can be classified depending on the location and cells origination
* Adenocarcinomas
Most cases of colon cancer are adenocarcinomas, originated in epithelium tissues, including the surface layer of skin, glands and their tissues that line the cavities and organs of the body.
* Squamous cell cancers
Squamous cells are the skin like cells that make up the colon lining together with the gland cells. Squamous cell cancers are rare with the risk of 25 per 100000.
Other colon tumors
* Carcinoid
Carcinoid is an unusual type of slow growth neuroendocrine tumor. It looks benign but might spread to other parts of the body as they grow in hormone-producing tissue in the digestive system.
* Leiomyosarcomas
Leiomyosarcomas are the rare and resistant types of colon cancer and generally not very responsive to chemotherapy or radiation. They are a malignant abnormal mass of tissue of smooth muscles of the colon, comprising between 5–10% of soft tissue sarcomas.
* Melanomas
Melanomas are a rare malignant tumor of cells that produce the dark pigment. This type of colon cancer usually originates from somewhere else before spreading to the colon.
According to the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2019, approximately, 101,420 new cases of colon cancer will be diagnosed in the US. The risk of colon cancer is slightly lower in women than in men.
Bowel cancer also known as colorectal cancer, is defined as a condition of the abnormal proliferation of cells in the colon, rectum, or vermiform appendix.
Carotenoids is a class of mainly yellow, orange, or red fat-soluble pigments, including lycopene and carotene, found abundantly in ripe tomato, pumpkins, carrots, corn, and daffodils.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of colon cancer, researchers investigated the antiproliferative activity of carotenoids separated from marine Chlorella ellipsoidea and freshwater Chlorella vulgaris on colon cancer cell line.
Based on the chemical analysis, the carotenoid from C. vulgaris was almost completely composed of lutein compared to carotenoid from C. ellipsoidea that was composed of violaxanthin with two minor xanthophylls, antheraxanthin, and zeaxanthin.
According to the tested assays, both semipurified extracts of C. ellipsoidea and C. vulgaris inhibited HCT116 cell growth in a dose-dependent manner, with the effective IC(50) values of 40.73 +/- 3.71 and 40.31 +/- 4.43 microg/mL, respectively.
In other words, both carotenoids even with different major chemical compound exerted a similar inhibitory activity in the tested cancer cell line.
Furthermore, both extracts also demonstrated a significant effect on inducing cancer cell apoptosis. However, C. ellipsoidea extract produced an apoptosis-inducing effect almost 2.5 times stronger than that of the C. vulgaris extract.
The results strongly suggested that there must be other unknown compounds found in C. ellipsoidea extract but not in C. vulgaris that causes the additional death of the cancer cell population.
Dr. Cha KH, the lead scientist after taking other factors into account wrote, "These results indicate that bioactive xanthophylls of C. ellipsoidea might be useful functional ingredients in the prevention of human cancers".
Taken altogether, carotenoids may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of colon cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of carotenoids in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
