Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid is a phytochemical and a class of phenolic acid, belonging to the group of Flavonoids (polyphenols), found a bundantly in peppermint, licorice, peanut, wheat, etc.

Health benefits
1. Comedonal Acne
In the comparison of lipohydroxyacid and salicylic acid peels in subjects with comedonal acne, found that there was a statistically significant decrease of 55.6% and 48.5% from baseline to Day 98 in the mean number of noninflammatory lesions for the sides treated with lipohydroxyacid and salicylic acid peels, respectively (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the degree of reduction in noninflammatory lesions between the two peels. There was no significant reduction in the number of inflammatory lesions. Both peels were generally very well tolerated, according to "Randomized trial comparing a chemical peel containing a lipophilic hydroxy acid derivative of salicylic acid with a salicylic acid peel in subjects with comedonal acne" by Levesque A, Hamzavi I, Seite S, Rougier A, Bissonnette R.(1)

2. Acne vulgaris
In the evaluation of he efficacy and tolerability of the addition of SA treatment to CDP and BPO (SA and CDP + BPO) and compare it with CDP + BPO in patients with mild to moderate facial acne vulgaris.
found that the addition of SA to CDP + BPO treatment demonstrated significantly better and faster results in terms of reductions in acne lesion counts and well tolerated except for higher frequency of mild to moderate transient dryness, according to "Efficacy of the addition of salicylic acid to clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide combination for acne vulgaris" by Akarsu S, Fetil E, Yücel F, Gül E, Güneş AT.(2)

3. Breast cancer
In the determination of the effect of aspirin on the incidence of breast cancer metastasis, which is reported to occur in 50% of patients who have previously received chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery, found that ingestion of aspirin might significantly reduce the incidence of breast cancer metastasis in patients who have previously received anticancer therapies, according to "Acetyl salicylic acid(aspirin) improves synthesis of maspin and lowers incidence of metastasis in breast cancer patients [corrected]" by Bhattacharyya M, Girish GV, Ghosh R, Chakraborty S, Sinha AK.(3)

4. Anti-inflammatory effects
In the examination of the mechanism whereby Methyl salicylate 2-O-b-D-lactoside (DL0309) exerts the anti-inflammatory effect, using the model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW264.7 cells, found that DL0309 exerts anti-inflammatory effects, by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and suppressing of the activation of NF-kB signaling pathway in LPS-treated macrophage cells. Therefore, DL0309 may have therapeutic potential for treating inflammatory diseases by regulating NF-κB pathway and pro-inflammatory cytokine production, according to "A novel naturally-occurring salicylic acid analogue acts as an anti-inflammatory agent by inhibiting nuclear factor-kappaB activity in RAW264.7 macrophages" by Zhang T, Sun L, Liu R, Zhang D, Lan X, Huang C, Xin W, Wang C, Zhang DM, Du G.(4)

5. Antileukemia Activity
In the study, in vitro screen of a focused library of SH2 domain binding salicylic acid-containing inhibitors (∼150) against STAT5, as well as against STAT3 and STAT1 proteins for SH2 domain selectivity, found that several potent (K(i) < 5 μM) and STAT5 selective (>3-fold specificity for STAT5 cf. STAT1 and STAT3) inhibitors, BP-1-107, BP-1-108, SF-1-087, and SF-1-088. Lead agents, evaluated in K562 and MV-4-11 human leukemia cells, showed potent induction of apoptosis (IC(50)'s ∼ 20 μM) which correlated with potent and selective suppression of STAT5 phosphorylation, as well as inhibition of STAT5 target genes cyclin D1, cyclin D2, C-MYC, and MCL-1. Moreover, lead agent BP-1-108 showed negligible cytotoxic effects in normal bone marrow cells not expressing activated STAT5 protein. Inhibitors identified in this study represent some of the most potent direct small molecule, nonphosphorylated inhibitors of STAT5 to date, according to "Small Molecule STAT5-SH2 Domain Inhibitors Exhibit Potent Antileukemia Activity" by Page BD, Khoury H, Laister RC, Fletcher S, Vellozo M, Manzoli A, Yue P, Turkson J, Minden MD, Gunning PT.(5)

6. Antioxidant and antimicrobial effects
In the evaluation of the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and phenolic components of different solvent (absolute methanol, absolute ethanol, absolute acetone, 80% methanol, 80% ethanol, 80% acetone and deionized water) extracts of leaves, flowers and bark of Gold Mohar
found that overall, 80% methanol extract produced from the leaves exhibited significantly (P < 0.05) higher antioxidant activity, with high phenolic contents (3.63 g GAE/100 g DW), total flavonoid contents (1.19 g CE/100 g DW), inhibition of peroxidation (85.54%), DPPH scavenging capacity (IC(50) value 8.89 μg/mL) and reducing power (1.87). Similarly, this 80% methanol leaves extract also showed superior antimicrobial activity. HPLC analysis of the 80% methanol extracts for individual phenolics revealed the presence of gallic, protocatechuic and salicylic acid in leaves; gallic, protocatechuic, salicylic, trans-cinnamic and chlorogenic acidin flowers, and gallic acid in bark as the main (amount > 1.50 mg/100 g DW) phenolic acids. Besides, small amounts ( < 1.50 mg/100 g DW) of some other phenolic acids such as sorbic, sinapic, p-coumaric, m-coumaric, ferulic, caffeic, 3-hydroxybenzoic, 4-hydroxycinnamic and 4-hydroxybenzoic acids were also detected, according to "Antioxidant and antimicrobial attributes and phenolics of different solvent extracts from leaves, flowers and bark of Gold Mohar [Delonix regia (Bojer ex Hook.) Raf]" by Shabir G, Anwar F, Sultana B, Khalid ZM, Afzal M, Khan QM, Ashrafuzzaman M.(6)

7. Antithrombotic effects
In the evaluation of three different antithrombotic treatments in women with antecedent of RPL, comparing the results in negative and positive to thrombophilic screening pregnant women, found that all three treatment regimens were significantly effective comparing live births against fetal losses. In 87 positive to thrombophilic screening pregnant women, the comparison of efficacy for the three regimens, shows that the therapy with LMWH or LMWH plus ASA are significantly protective against fetal losses with respect to ASA, which showed a high number of fetal losses (11 live births, 18 fetal losses), according to "Efficacy of three different antithrombotic regimens on pregnancy outcome in pregnant women affected by recurrent pregnancy loss" by Giancotti A, Torre RL, Spagnuolo A, D'Ambrosio V, Cerekja A, Piazze J, Chistolini A.(7)

8. Facial flat warts
In the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of glycolic acid 15% topical gel plussalicylic acid 2% in the treatment of recalcitrant facial flat warts, found that All the patients were clinically cured within eight weeks. Seven patients cleared in four weeks, and 13 patients cleared in eight weeks. No noticeable adverse events were related to the skin, according to "Glycolic Acid 15% plus salicylic Acid 2%: a new therapeutic pearl for facial flat warts" by Rodríguez-Cerdeira C, Sánchez-Blanco E.(8)

Traditional Chinese Medicine Herbal Therapy - Popular Chinese Herbs - Jiang Huang (Rhizoma Curcumae Longae)

Jiang Huang (Rhizoma Curcumae Longae)

Jiang Huang or Mao Jiang Huang or Bao Ding Xiang is also known as Tumeric. The acrid, bitter, aromatic and warm herb has been used in TCM as anti coagulation of platelets, anti inflammatory, anti oxidation, antibiotic, antivirus agent and to treat shoulder pain, mood fluctuations, schizophrenia, fever, dizziness, nose bleeding, blood in urine, bleeding not during menses, jaundice, lower back pain, chest and abdomen pain, etc., as it breaks up the Blood Stasis, moves Qi, benefits menstruation, calms pain, etc., by enhancing the functions of stomach, liver and spleen channels.

Ingredients
1. Tumerone
2. Dihydroturmerone
3. Curcuminoids: curcumin
4. Demethoxycurcumin
5. Bisdemethoxycurcumin
6. Borneol
7. Zingberene
8. Arabic gum
9. Glucose
10 Fructose
11. Curcumol
12. Zingiberen
13. Phellandrene
14. Etc.

Health Benefits
1. Diabetes is an inflammatory disease
In the review of TCM hypoglycaemic effects, for example Radix Astragali, Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Trichosanthis, Panax Ginseng, Fructus Schisandrae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Rhizoma Anemarrhenae, Radix Puerariae, Fructus Lycii, Poria, Rhizoma Coptidis, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Rhizoma Polygonati, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Semen Trigonellae, Momordica charantia, Allium sativum, Opuntia stricta, Aloe vera, Cortex Cinnamomi, Rhizoma Curcumae Longae, and so on, have nearly independent anti-inflammatory action, found that TCM might exert hypoglycaemic effects that are partly mediated by the anti-inflammatory mechanisms. However, small amounts of TCM with potent anti-inflammatory action does not have any hypoglycaemic effect. This indirectly indicates that diabetes may be a low-grade inflammatory disease and potent regulation of inflammatory mediators may not be required, according to “Diabetes is an inflammatory disease: evidence from traditional Chinese medicines” by Xie W, Du L.(1).

2. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects
In the evaluation of the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects and the molecular mechanisms of JCICM-6, a purified extract derived from an anti-arthritic Chinese herbal formula composed of Caulis Sinomenii, Aconiti laterralis Preparata,Rhizoma Curcumae longae, Radix Paeoniae albae, and Cortex Moutan, showed that the positive reference drug, indomethacin at a dosage of 10mg/kg, demonstrated inhibitory potency in both rat models, but it could not augment the production of IL-4, indicating JCICM-6 and indomethacin might possess different pharmacological properties and molecular mechanisms although both have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in rats.
These results suggest that JCICM-6 would be a valuable candidate for further investigation as a new anti-arthritic drug, according to “Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and molecular mechanisms of JCICM-6, a purified extract derived from an anti-arthritic Chinese herbal formula” by Wong YF, Zhou H, Wang JR, Xie Y, Xu HX, Liu L.(2).

3. Suppressive effects
In the examination of JCICM-6, the extract of an anti-arthritic herbal formula composed of medicinal herbs of Sinomenium acutum, Aconitum carmichaeli DEBX., Curcuma Longa L., Paeonia lactiflora PALL., and Paeonia suffruticosa ANDR., for its mechanism in reducing experimentally-induced inflammation and nociception using nine animal models, found that CICM-6 orally administered in a range of dosages from 0.438 g to 1.75 g/kg significantly and dose-dependently suppressed the paw edema of rats induced by carrageenan or various pro-inflammatory mediators and the ear edema of mice induced by arachidonic acid or TPA, according to “Suppressive effects of JCICM-6, the extract of an anti-arthritic herbal formula, on the experimental inflammatory and nociceptive models in rodents“by Zhou H, Wong YF, Cai X, Liu ZQ, Jiang ZH, Bian ZX, Xu HX, Liu L.(3).

4. Dyspepsia
In the examination of the Curcuma domestica Val. is a medicinal plant, claimed to be effective for dyspepsia, found that 87 per cent of patients receiving Curcuma domestica Val. responded to the treatment. The differences in efficacy between placebo and active drugs were statistically significant and clinically important. Mild and self-limited side effects were observed at similar frequency in the three groups. About 50 per cent of the patients in each group were satisfied with the treatment they received, according to “Randomized double blind study of Curcuma domestica Val. for dyspepsia’ by Thamlikitkul V, Bunyapraphatsara N, Dechatiwongse T, Theerapong S, Chantrakul C, Thanaveerasuwan T, Nimitnon S, Boonroj P, Punkrut W, Gingsungneon V, et al.(4).

Most Common Diseases of 50 Plus: Thyroid disease: Silent thyroiditis Treatments In Conventional medicine perspective

Thyroid disease

Thyroid disease is defined as a condition of malfunction of thyroid. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is over active and produces too much thyroid hormones.

Silent thyroiditis

Silent thyroiditis is the inflammation of the thyroid gland. Patients with silent thyroiditis are experience back and forth between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. The disease classically present with a triphasic course: a brief period of thyrotoxicosis due to release of preformed thyroid hormone that lasts for 1 to 3 months, followed by a more prolonged hypothyroid phase lasting up to 6 months, and eventual return to a euthyroid state. However, the types and degree of thyroid dysfunction are variable in these disorders, and individual patients may present with mild or more severe cases of thyrotoxicosis alone, hypothyroidism alone, or both types of thyroid dysfunction(a).

The Treatments

In conventional medicine perspective
Treatment of the disease is to relive the symptoms, as it usually needs no treatment, and most of the patients show complete recovery and return of the thyroid gland to normal after 3 months. Study indicated that SAT and SAT-SRH are transient thyroid disease rarely leading to permanent thyroid disease, although some loss of thyroid reserve may occur. However, LT-SRH is a persistent progressive disease similar to or the same as chronic LT, in which goiter formation and thyroid failure are a natural course(49). Also, in some study showed that thyroid suppression with thyroid hormone may be ineffective in preventing this disease(50).

Women Health: Overcome Infertility - Treatments of Sore Breast And Irritability in The Ovulation Phase of Menstrual Cycle

As the yin (estrogen) at its peak, liver triggers the start the ovulation phrase by extruding the mature follicle into the fallopian tube. In this phrase, uterus continues producing sperm friendly mucus as qi and blood move downward to warm the uterus and promote the implantation of the egg.

Sore Breast And Irritability in The Ovulation Phase

Some women may experience sore breast and irritability during ovulation phase of menstrual cycle. They are defined as conditions of liver qi can not move blood freely due to liver qi stagnation.

I. Causes
1. Spleen qi deficiency
Stomach is the primary organ in digestive food essence after foods are eaten. If for what ever reason, the stomach can not digest food properly, it may cause the inability of spleen in absorb food qi and essence for our body needs, leading to spleen qi deficiency, resulting in disturbing the qi formation and transporting it to the liver to move blood, leading to liver qi stagnation cause of sore breast and irritability.

2. Kidney in fluid distribution
Spleen is a vital organs in transporting fluid to the kidney for distribution to our body needs, if spleen fails to do it function or kidney' inability to transport fluid properly, it causes fluid retain in the body tissues. In this case, it causes fluid accumulated in the breast, leading to sore breast and irritability.

3. Lung qi deficiency
Lung qi is important to circulate qi in the entire body. Lung qi deficiency can be caused by spleen qi deficiency that interfere with the function of lung in assisting liver in moving qi in the blood vessels.

4. Liver qi stagnation
Liver qi stagnation can not transport blood and assist heart in moving blood freely in the blood vessel, leading to pain moving around and nervous tension. In this case, it causes pain in the breast and irritability.

II. Treatments
A. With Chinese herbs
1. Sheng ma (Black cohosh)
the cool herb helps to sooth the channels of lung, spleen, stomach and large intestine, thereby reducing the symptoms of sore freast and irritability caused by liver heat and toxicity as well as raising yang and guiding other herbs upwards.

2. Chai hu (Thorowax root)
It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine in treating liver qi stagnation as well as nourishing the deficiency of spleen and stomach and kidney, thereby reducing the risk of liver qi stagnation caused by spleen and stomach's inability to absorb food qi and essence.

3. Bai shao yao (White peony)
Beside having a function in nourishing blood and regulating period during menstrual cycle, it also enhances the liver function in calming yang and alleviating pain, including sore breast.

4. Qing pi (Tangerine peel)
the berb improve the function of liver qi causes of irritability and sore breast by promoting the soothing of channels of liver, gallbladder and large intestine.

5. Huang qi (Astragalus root)
It is one of the herb that helps to increase the function of liver in generating more blood and liver qi in blood transportation due to excessive blood loss during menstruation.

General Health: Cerebral aneurysm - The Symptoms

The Symptoms

People may have an aneurysm without experiencing any symptoms at all, but if a cerebral aneurysm begins to leak it can cause certain symptoms. Dr. Lyrer P, and Gratzl O. at the Neurologische Universitätsklinik, indicated that approximately two fifth of the patients with subarachnoidal hemorrhage complained of earlysymptoms prior to the major hemorrhage. The complaints may be
1. Headache as the most likely

2. Cranial nerve palsies including the muscles of the face, and people's faces change as a result of the palsy. A patient may find it difficult to smile, to control eye movements, and to engage in other facial expressions.
3. Different vegetative symptoms, including the interference of the following, including thought, emotion, memory, comprehension, perception, purpose, etc.
4. Iransient neurologic deficits, etc.(3)
In the report of Dr. Henry J. Kaminski, M.D and the team at Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center showed that transient neurologic deficits are an unusual presentation of chronic subdural hematoma. Presented herein are three patients with transient aphasia and right-sided sensory-motor abnormalities caused by subdural hematoma. Review of the literature revealed 32 cases similar to ours. Presenting complaints were aphasia (77%), sensory symptoms (57%),headache (48%), hemiparesis (50%), and visual disturbance (3%). Fifteen patients underwent cerebral angiography(4)

Obesity is a medical condition of excess body fat accumulated overtime, while overweight is a condition of excess body weight relatively to the height. According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), a BMI between 25 to 29.9 is considered over weight, while a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity. According to the statistic, 68% of American population are either overweight or obese.

You can calculate your BMI index BMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)

The Studies of Body fat distribution and the risk of premenopausal breast cancer

Abdominal adiposity is associated with metabolic and hormonal changes, many of which have been associated with the risk of premenopausal breast cancer. In the study to investigate the association between body fat distribution, assessed in 1993 by self-reported waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist to hip ratio, and the incidence of premenopausal breast cancer in the Nurses' Health Study II, by the Harvard School of Public Health, posted in PubMed, indicated that during 426,164 person-years of follow-up from 1993 to 2005, 620 cases of breastcancer were diagnosed among 45,799 women. Hormone receptor status information was available for 84% of the breast cancers. The age-standardized incidence rates of breast cancer were 131 per 100,000 person-years among those in the lowest quintile of waist circumference and 136 per 100,000 person-years among those in the highest quintile. No statistically significant associations were found between waist circumference, hip circumference, or the waist to hip ratio and risk of breast cancer. However, each of the three body fat distribution measures was statistically significantly associated with greater incidence of estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer.
