Gastric or mouth cancer is a chronic and medical condition characterized by abnormal cells growing in the tissues of the stomach.
The stomach formed part of the digestive system and located between the esophagus and the small intestine, is a muscular, hollow of the digestive tract.
Most cases of gastric or mouth cancer start in the mucus-producing cells of the inside lining of the stomach due to the alternation of DNA. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of gastric cancer.
At the early stage, due to the small size of the tumor, most patients with gastric cancer are asymptomatic.
However, as cancer continues to grow, it may induce general symptoms shared by all cancer and specific symptoms such as mild ache in the upper part of the body, difficulty of swallowing, feeling full or bloated after a small meal, vomiting blood or having blood in the stool.
At this stage, gastric cancer also induces secondary metastasis, by infecting other healthy tissues and organs far away from the original site.
Out of many risk factors associated with the onset of gastric cancer including diet, long-term inflammation of the stomach, smoking, and obesity, some researchers suggested low levels of gastric acid production by the stomach may have a strong implication in facilitating the onset of the condition.
Dr. Helge L. Waldum, the lead scientist in the analysis of the correlation between Helicobacter pylori and gastric acid, wrote, "Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is the main cause of gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. There are still unanswered questions related to the interaction between Hp and man, like what determines the susceptibility for the initial infection and the mechanisms for the carcinogenic effect".
And, "The initial infection seems to require a temporal gastric hypoacidity. For Hp to survive in the gastric mucus layer, some acidity is necessary. Hp itself is probably not directly carcinogenic. Only when inducing oxyntic mucosal inflammation and atrophy with hypoacidity, Hp predisposes for gastric cancer. Gastrin most likely plays a central role in the Hp pathogenesis of duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer".
The cucumber plant is a species of Cucumis Sativus, belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae and native to Western Asia. It is also a creeping vine with roots in the ground and grows up with the support of frames.
With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of gastric cancer, researchers examined the effect of Ecballium elaterium (L.) A. Rich (Cucurbitaceae) (squirting cucumber) on cell lines of gastric and esophageal origin namely called AGS (human gastric carcinoma) and KYSE30 (human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma).
The study included AGS and KYSE30 cancer cell lines incubated for 24, 48, and 72 h with an aqueous extract of the fruits of E. elaterium prepared and freeze-dried.
In AGS, at the IC(50) values of 2.5, 0.7, and 0.7 μg/ml, the aqueous extract for cell lines after 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively showed significant induction of cell apoptosis.
Similarly, KYSE30 cell line induced apoptosis was found at IC(50) values for KYSE30 cell line in doses of 500, 150, and 125 μg/ml after 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively.
Furthermore, the injection of the extract also showed a significant increase in cell density at the G2/M phase, according to cell cycle analysis.
Moreover, the efficacy of the extract against gastric cancer cell lines was attributed to several compounds in the induction of cytotoxicity.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "The results of the current study showed that the freeze-dried aqueous extract of E. elaterium fruit has a cytotoxic effect on gastric and esophageal cancer cell lines by means of apoptosis".
In order to reveal more information about cucumber anti-gastric cancer activity, researchers investigated the effects of Cucurbitacin B (CuB), a natural compound found in Cucurbitaceae in cisplatin (DDP)-resistant human GC cell line SGC7901/DDP.
According to the tested assays, CuB treatment significantly suppressed SGC7901/DDP cell proliferation, induced caspase-dependent apoptosis, and autophagy.
Interestingly, the activation of autophagy was mediated through CuB- inhibition of the protein (TORC1) involved the regulation of cancer cell growth and survival.
In order to reveal more information about CuB anti-gastric cancer potency, scientists examined the CuB activity as a cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A), a human oncoprotein that is overexpressed in multiple kinds of tumors including gastric cancer (GC).
In cisplatin (DDP)-resistant human GC cell line SGC7901/DDP, CuB treatment exerted a similar effect as of that of the aforementioned study in the inhibition of SGC7901/DDP cell proliferation, induced caspase-dependent apoptosis, and autophagy.
Moreover, CuB inhibited mTORC1 as showed in the previous study via the inhibition of CIP2A which activates the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in the induction of cancer cell proliferation.
Based on the results, researchers said, "CuB can inhibit the proliferation, induce caspase-dependent apoptosis, and autophagy of SGC7901/DDP cells by suppressing CIP2A/PP2A/mTORC1 signaling axis".
Taken altogether, cucumber processed a high amount of Cucurbitacin B (CuB) as the main ingredient may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of Cucurbitacin B (CuB) in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Green Tea Protects the Child Joints Against the Onset of Juvenile Arthritis
Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reducing risk, progression, and treatment of juvenile arthritis, some scientists suggested.
Juvenile arthritis is an inflammatory disease affecting the synovium in children aged 16 or younger.
In other words, it is an autoimmune disorder caused by the immune system attacks some of the body's own healthy cells and tissues, in this case, the immune system attacks the joint tissue in the juvenile.
Genes that are associated with the risk of juvenile idiopathic arthritis include HLA-A. HLA-B. HLA-DPB1. HLA-DQA1. HLA-DQB1. HLA-DRB1. IL2RA. IL6, according to the National Institute of Health.
According to the statistic, the most common form of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), affects over 50,000 children in the United States alone.
Juvenile Arthritis shares the common symptoms of adult arthritis, including pain, stiffness, swelling, fever, skin rash and in the serious case. The condition can also cause some complications such as pericarditis, hemolytic anemia, macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), and endarteritis
In the article "Juvenile Arthritis: Early Signs and Symptoms" By Susan Bernstein wrote, "Juvenile arthritis includes many different diseases, but one common thread between them is that they can have serious, even life-threatening impacts on a young child".
Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world.
In the investigation of the effect of green tea extract on the oxidative state of the liver and brain of adjuvant-induced arthritic rats, a model for human rheumatoid arthritis with daily doses of 250 mg kg(-1) (59.8 mg catechins per kg) for 23 days, researchers at the State University of Maringá, found that treatment group expressed a significant activity in reducing the protein and lipid damage in liver, brain, and plasma, caused by ROS expression in induction of oxidation which has been found with associated to the progression of arthritis.
Injection of green tea extract also enhanced the overexpression of antioxidant defenses, found in low levels in patients with arthritis through restoration of the glutathione (GSH) associated to the important function in preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species and protein thiol levels in reducing cellular oxidation through chelative and detoxified activities and improved natural antioxidant enzymes, produced by the body.
Furthermore, green tea extract also inhibited the levels of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which is increased in the liver in patients with arthritis, one of the major risk factors for the development of arthritis.
These results suggested that the application of green tea exerted a significantly profound effect in the liver and brain of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis through reduced overexpression of oxidative stress in precipitated injury to lipids and proteins.
Some researchers suggested that by modifying the metabolic function in lipid and protein, green tea extract exhibited a strong protective effect in reducing the symptoms and progression of arthritis.
According to the study of University of Health System of green tea effect in patients with rheumatoid
arthritis, injection of green tea extract demonstrated a therapeutic effect in patient's synovial fibroblast of the lining tissue which surround the capsule of the joint by inhibiting the production of IL-1B, a prototypic proinflammatory cytokines in response to acute and chronic inflammation. Overexpression of IL-1B is associated with the contribution of joint damage.
Interestingly, in the study of adolescent male Wistar rats 12-week exposure to Cd and Pb (7mg Cd and 50mg Pb in 1kg of the diet randomly assigned to 12 to each group, as positive control received without Cd, Pb and teas, a negative control group received Cd and Pb, and groups supplemented additionally with green (GT), black (BT), red (RT), and white tea (WT), researchers indicated that application of tea significant inhibits the decreased levels of the geometric(shape) and densitometric(density) parameters and total thickness of articular cartilage caused by Cd and Pb in compared to the negative control group.
Tea injection group also displayed a huge improvement in mechanical endurance, growth plate thickness, and trabecular histomorphometry depending on the tea type.
Due to the limitation of the study, Dr. Tomaszewska E, the lead researcher said, " It is difficult to indicate which tea has the best protective effects on bone and hyaline cartilage against heavy metal action".
More importantly, in the examine some major factors in contributing juvenile arthritis, green tea rich in catechins (Healthy green tea) in animal study, green tea injection restored these biomarkers of cytokine genes (IL-1A, IL-2, IFN-alpha, FGF-alpha, TNF-alpha) to near-normal levels, thus preventing or attenuating the development of a certain type of inflammatory arthritis.
Taken all together, green tea and its bioactive polyphenols may be considered functional food for the reduction of the early onset, progression and combined with standard therapy for the treatment of juvenile and adult arthritis.
However, the intake of green tea supplements should be taken with exceptional care as acute liver toxicity has been reported in numbers of medical literature.

Herbal Turmeric the Best for the Treatment of Gout and Recurrent Gout
Gout, a painful and recurrent condition mostly effected one joint is a type of arthritis caused by uric acid building up in the blood that induces joint inflammation.
Epidemiologically, high levels of uric acid found in the body that leads to the forming of crystals are the culprit, as a result of the inability of the kidney to get rid of uric acid.
Most cases of gout are found in patients who follow the diet with a high intake of meats and seafood and foods containing higher levels of purine such as alcoholic beverages, especially beer, and drinks sweetened with fruit sugar (fructose).
Reduced intake of the aforementioned products has been found to reduce the onset of recurrence of the condition in many previous patients.
Believe it or not, most patients with gout and recurrent gout also associated with medical conditions of hypertension, renal insufficiency, and hypertriglyceridemia.
Furthermore, the increase of the level of uric acid not only significantly raises the risks of gout, but also the risk of cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.
Dr. LÁlvarez-Lario B, the lead scientist at the Hospital Universitario de Burgos wrote, "Gout is characterized not only by an increase in uric acid, eventual episodes of arthritis, and chronic joint damage but also by association with several comorbidities and increased cardiovascular risk. The adoption of healthier dietary habits may contribute to better management of uricemia and also to a reduction of associated diseases".
In other words, by a change of lifestyle and moderate exercise, gout may be manageable or preventable.
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 to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of gout with no side effect, researchers examined the effect of turmeric nanoparticles (T-NPs) against gout, in vitro and in vivo.
The T-NPs developed were about 46 nm in size with a positive zeta potential +29.55 ± 3.44 and low polydispersity index (PDI).
In mice induced gout by monosodium urate crystals, T-NPs administered orally showed a significant effect in the treatment of gout and gout symptoms with 5, 10, and 20 ppm.
All parameters associated with the development of gout were inhibited by the injection T-NPs regardless of doses.
In other words, T-NPs inhibited gout by improving the lipid profile, renal, and liver function involved in the expression of the levels of uric acid, observed by the tested assays.
Dr. the lead scientist said, "Uric acid levels were significantly reduced after the treatment with T-NPs. indicating that T-NPs show superior potential against gout management".
Taken altogether, turmeric in the form of turmeric nanoparticles (T-NPs) may be used for the treatment of gout, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Green Tea, The Beverage In the Alleviated Symptoms, Reduces Risk and Treatment of Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)
Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reducing the symptoms, risk, progression, and treatment of
Polymyalgia rheumatica an inflammatory disease with muscle pain and stiffness, especially in the shoulders, affecting mostly older adults beyond the age of 65.
The exact causes of polymyalgia rheumatica are unknown. However, researchers do know that certain prevalent risk factors are associated with the onset of diseases, such as age, family history, gender, ethnicity and exposure to environmental weather.
Genetic mutations inherited from the parents are also the major risk factor for the development of polymyalgia arthritis such as ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1), RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed, and presumably secreted).
It is important to know that Giant cell arteritis (GCA) (temporal arteritis) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) share the common identity, frequently related conditions in people generally over 50 years of age, according to the Dr. Miguel A Gonzalez-Gay in the study of " Genetic epidemiology: Giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica".
Symptoms of PMR are depending on the severity of the condition, including aches or pain shoulders, neck, upper arms, buttocks, hips or thighs, and stiffness in affected areas.
People with PMR also experience pain in the morning or after being inactive for a time, limited range of motion in the affected areas.
If you have some of the above symptoms, please check with your doctor to rule out the PMR possibility.
Green tea is a precious drink processed numbers of health benefit and known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world.
In an animal study of inflammatory diseases induced by injection of LPS, researchers found that application of green tea bioactive polyphenols EGCG improves antioxidant status of the host and decreases the production of inflammatory factors, including PMR through its antioxidant properties.
Further analysis suggested that application of EGCG reduced symptoms of inflammation such as pain, tension, stiffness, swelling of the infectious site without affecting the function of immune system in the protection against microorganisms invasion through inhibiting over-expression of tumor necrosis alpha(TNF-α) involved in the systematic inflammatory response to the acute phase of infection.
The bioactive compound also inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) in stimulating the production of inflammatory cytokines through stopping the free radicals chain reactions that facilitate inflammation and the precipitate skeletal muscle dysfunction and degradation by infiltrating immune cells to induce direct injury to muscle tissue.
In fact, overproduction of ROS increased expression of mitochondria, NAD(P)H oxidases, xanthine oxidoreductases, and nitric oxide synthases can cause an imbalance of the free radicals and antioxidant ratio, in orchestrated oxidative stress to muscle cells.
The further evaluation suggested that green tea EGCG also reduced expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6), with function in response to infections and tissue injuries.
Long-term overproduction of IL 6 due to the duo factors as a pro and anti-inflammatory protein may increase high-level concentrations of serum amyloid A (SAA), which has been found to induce serious complications of several chronic inflammatory diseases through the generated and deposited amyloid A amyloidosis into the extracellular space in an abnormal, insoluble, fibrillar form,
Moreover, EGCG also attenuated levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in the regulation of innate and adaptive immune functions and served as a pivotal mediator of inflammatory responses through activation of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in promoting muscle wasting, leading to muscle atrophy in the induction of pain and stiffness and swelling.
Importantly, application of green tea EGCG enhanced the natural antioxidant enzymes in the host such as glutathione, an antioxidant enzyme produced naturally found in every cell and tissue of the body.
These actions together with antioxidant initiated by injection of green tea EGCG stimulated cell regeneration, preserved the muscle cells and tissues and prevented muscle tension to precipitate polymyalgia arthritis.
Deficiency of glutathione levels was found to associate to the early onset of polymyalgia rheumatica, inducing symptoms of pain, stiffness, achiness, fatigue, and fever.
Differentiation of the above was supported by conventional medicine corticosteroids, a powerful anti-inflammatory drugs with the function to target pro-inflammation cytokines in the relieved stiffness and pain in patients with polymyalgia arthritis.
Taken all together, green tea and its bioactive polyphenols EGCG may be considered a functional food for alleviating symptoms, risk, progression and treatment of polymyalgia rheumatica(PMR).
However, ingestion green tea supplements should be taken with extreme care as acute liver toxicity has been reported in several medical literature.

Healthy Food Tomatoes inhibit the Growth and Progression of Liver Cancer in Vivo
Liver cancer is a chronic condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the liver tissues due to the alternation of cell DNA.
Most cases of primary liver cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissues of the liver.
Patients at the early stage of the liver cancer, due to the small size of the tumor, are asymptomatic. However, at the advanced, after colonizing the deeper layers of the liver, the malignant cells may travel a distance away to infect other nearby tissues, leading to secondary metastasis.
The liver is the largest internal organs with a function that filters out blood coming from the digestive tract before passing them to other parts of the body.
Furthermore, the liver also produces cholesterol that not only aid the gastrointestinal tract in digesting food and absorbing nutrient but also helps to build a strong cell wall, produce vitamin D and steroid hormones.
Also, at the advanced stage, patients with liver cancer may experience upper abdominal pain, abdominal swelling jaundice, and white, chalky stools accompanied by the general symptoms shared by other types of cancer.
According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2019, approximately 42,030 new cases (29,480 in men and 12,550 in women) will be diagnosed in the US.
Liver cancer will also cause death of about 31,780 Americans (21,600 men and 10,180 women) in 2019.
Although there are many risk factors associated with the onset of liver cancer, some researchers suggested that the rise of obesity-induced non-alcoholic liver disease may be a leading cause of liver cancer among Americans.
Dr. György Baffy wrote, "NAFLD is rapidly becoming the most common liver condition, it has been implicated in the worrisome trend of rising HCC incidence in a number of countries, which may offset successful measures in reducing the effect of virus-related liver cancer".
And, "Independently or in synergy with cirrhosis, NAFLD may provide a special oncogenic microenvironment through its pathogenic association with chronic nutrient excess and adipose tissue remodeling, characterized by pro-inflammatory adipokine profiles, lipotoxicity, altered hepatocellular bioenergetics, and insulin resistance".
In other words, you are obese with NAFLD, you are at an increased risk of liver cancer.
Tomato is red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belonging to family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for the commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.
With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of liver cancer, researchers examined the effect of lycopene from tomatoes against NAFLD and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The study included tobacco carcinogen 4-(N-methyl-N-nitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) induces lesions in both lungs and livers of ferrets with or without lycopene intervention.
More precisely, selected male ferrets (6 groups, n = 8-10) were treated either with NNK (50 mg/kg BW, i.p., once a month for four consecutive months) or saline with or without dietary lycopene supplementation (2.2 and 6.6 mg/kg BW/day, respectively) for 26 weeks.
Before the treatment of lycopene, NNK group showed a higher incidence of lung tumors, HCC, and steatohepatitis and elevations in bilirubin and AST levels.
Administration of lycopene supplementation at two doses not only prevented NNK-induced expressions of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in the lung associated with liver injury and cells damage but also reduced the expression of a protein associated pro-inflammation, particularly, in the level of CYP2E1 involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics in the body in the liver
Furthermore, lycopene also attenuated the NNK-induced mortality and pathological lesions in the liver of ferrets.
Based on the results, researchers said, "The present study provided strong experimental evidence that the tobacco carcinogen NNK can induce both HCC and steatohepatitis in the ferrets and can be a useful model for studying tobacco carcinogen-associated NAFLD and liver cancer".
Moreover, in the examined the natural whole foods which process anti-liver cancer potential, Dr. Zhou Y, the lead scientist wrote, "..., tomatoes,... These dietary natural products and their active components could affect the development and progression of liver cancer in various ways, such as inhibiting tumor cell growth and metastasis, protecting against liver carcinogens, immunomodulating and enhancing effects of chemotherapeutic drugs".
Taken altogether, tomatoes processed abundantly bioactive compound lycopene may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of liver cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of lycopene in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Dietary Patterns in the Risk of Metabolic Syndrome
A dietary pattern is the measurement of the quantity, variety, or combination of different foods and beverages in a diet as well as the frequency of the foods are habitually consumed.
Most common dietary patterns are
* The traditional diet, Wikipedia wrote, "Traditional foods are foods and dishes that are passed through generations or which have been consumed many generations. Traditional foods and dishes are traditional in nature, and may have a historic precedent in a national dish, regional cuisine or local cuisine".
* The Western diet is a standard American diet (SAD) associated with high intakes of red meat, processed meat, pre-packaged and refined foods, fried foods, high-fat dairy products, high salt, and sugar.foods.
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions associated with the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The health problems found in the group include too much fat around the waist, elevated blood pressure, high triglycerides, elevated blood sugar, and low HDL cholesterol.
In other words, if you have 3 of the conditions in the group, your risk of CVD and diabetes are increased substantially compared to those who have less.
According to the statistics, approximately 30% of people in the US are living with metabolic syndrome.
Believe it or not, among US adults aged 18 years or older, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome rose by more than 35% from 1988–1994 to 2007–2012, increasing from 25.3% to 34.2%.
Besides the aforementioned conditions, risks of metabolic syndrome may include age, family history, physical, inactivity, and women with polycystic ovary syndrome, epidemiologically.
As of today, the treatment of metabolic syndrome commonly is prescribed medications to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, and/or blood sugar with an aim to reduce the risk of developing further health complications and improve quality of life.
On finding a potent ingredient for the treatment of metabolic syndrome, researchers investigated the association between major dietary patterns, including several eating habits.
The cross-sectional study included a total of 425 subjects 35 to 55 y of age, using a food-frequency questionnaire in 5 dietary patterns.
Five major dietary patterns were examined by the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, including
* A western pattern (high in sweets, butter, soda, mayonnaise, sugar, cookies, the tail of a lamb, hydrogenated fat, and eggs),
* A prudent pattern (high in fish, peas, honey, nuts, juice, dry fruits, vegetable oil, liver and organic meat, and coconuts and low in hydrogenated fat and non-leafy vegetables),
* A vegetarian pattern (high in potatoes, legumes, fruits rich in vitamin C, rice, green leafy vegetables, and fruits rich in vitamin A),
* A high-fat dairy pattern (high in high-fat yogurt and high-fat milk and low in low-fat yogurt, peas, and bread), and
* A chicken and plant pattern (high in chicken, fruits rich in vitamin A, green leafy vegetables, and mayonnaise and low in the beef, liver, and organic meat).
Based on the tested differentiation and adjusting to other confounders,
* The western pattern has a strong and negative impact on increasing triacylglycerol and blood pressure.
* The prudent pattern was positively associated a low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels compared to other dietary patterns.
* However, the vegetarian dietary pattern was inversely associated with a risk of an abnormal fasting blood glucose level.
Collectively, all dietary patterns are associated with positive or negative in increasing or decreasing the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Bilberry Protects Your Vision Against Eye Strain (Asthenopia), According to Studies
On seeking natural therapy with no side effects, scientists may have a whole fruit for the prevention and treatment of asthenopia (eye strain), according to studies.
Asthenopia is a condition characterized by nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, pain in or around the eyes, blurred vision, headache, and occasional double vision.
Symptoms occur mostly in the people who have spent a long time in the visual task focusing, such as prolonged reading on the screen or newspaper.
Some researchers suggested by giving the eye some rest such as looking on a distant object at least once an hour can be helpful in alleviating the problem.
Mechanically, eye muscle imbalance or uncorrected vision can also cause asthenopia.
Symptoms of asthenopia include sore or irritated eyes dry or watery eyes, blurred or double vision and increased sensitivity to light.
Some people may also experience symptoms of trouble focusing and pain in the neck, shoulder, and neck.
If you experience some of the above symptoms, you may have asthenopia, please make sure you check with your doctor for preventive measures.
Some researchers suggested that asthenopia may also be a symptom in people with a chronic headache.
Dr. Vincent AJ, the lead scientist in the investigation of a chronic headache asthenopia wrote, "Sensitivity to light in the absence of a headache was reported by 27.8% of controls and 44.7% of headache sufferers (p less than 0.05)" and "The latter figure increased to 71.3% when a headache was actually present (p less than 0.001)".
These results indicated a strong correlation between a chronic headache and asthenopia.
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant 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.
Researchers with an aim of finding a natural ingredient for the treatment of asthenopia examined the effects of dietary supplementation with a combination of fish oil, bilberry extract, and lutein on subjective symptoms of asthenopia in humans.
A double-blind, randomized, parallel-group and the placebo-controlled trial was conducted by the Human Life Science R&D Center,
* In the Active group, eleven subjects were given a supplement containing omega-3 fatty acid-rich fish oil (docosahexaenoic acid 783 mg/day, eicosapentaenoic acid 162 mg/day), bilberry extract (anthocyanidin 59 mg/day), and lutein (17.5 mg/day) in soft gel capsule form, every day for 4 weeks.
* In the Placebo group, nine subjects were received placebo capsules.
According to the questionnaires taking before and after the experiment, researchers found that
* Asthenopia symptoms such as "stiff shoulder, low back pain", "frustration", "dry-eye", and "stuffy head" were improved in the Active group compared to the placebo.
* Subjected received the supplement also demonstrated a significant improvement od mental symptoms such as fatigue after 4 weeks.
No side effects were reported in the active group at the 2 and 4 weeks of supplemental injection, according to the return questionnaires.
The results strongly supported the use of dietary supplementation with the combination of omega-3 fatty acid-rich fish oil, bilberry extract, and lutein for the treatment of asthenopia.
Taken altogether, bilberry processed abundantly bioactive compounds may be considered a natural remedy for the treatment of dry eye with no side effects, pending to the validation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.
