The digestive system included the gastrointestinal tract, the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder play a critical role to maintain the body normal function by providing nutrients and fluids to the body and remove waste through the secretary system.
The gastric mucosa is the mucous membrane layer of the stomach that plays a critical role in providing physical protection against ingested particles and preventing the contact between digestive enzymes such as pepsin and the underlying mucosa.
On the other hand, the gastric mucosal barrier protects the stomach against gastric acid that is required for digestion.
Dr, Lawson HH. in the classification of the different histologic types of the normal human duodenal mucosa suggested that there are antral type-duodenal mucosa, the transitional-type duodenal mucosa, and the jejunal-type duodenal mucosa.
The three different types of mucosa vary in their degree of susceptibility to the effect of acid hypersecretion, leading to duodenitis and gastritis and worsens the condition of ulcer.
The function of duodenum mucosa is to increase its surface area that contacts with chyme passing through the intestinal lumen and improves the absorption of nutrients.
Abnormal duodenal mucosa can lead to acute and chronic duodenal ulcers.
Cramp Bark is an ornamental plant, genus Viburnum, belonging to the family Adoxaceae, native to Europe and Asia. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory, nervine. hypotensive agent and to treat menstrual cramps and pain, afterbirth, postpartum pains, excessive blood loss in periods, bleeding associated with the menopause, etc.
On finding a potential herbal medicine for the protection of the digestive function, researchers examined the gastrointestinal mucosal defense mechanisms of proanthocyanidins (PA), the polymers of flavan-3-ols, isolated from the Viburnum opulus (VOPA, Caprifoliaceae).
According to the tested assays of rats exposed to non-topical ulcerogens (stress) without and with capsaicin (125 mg/kg, sc) denervation, VOPA showed strong effects in the promotion of the gastroduodenal mucosal integrity and pattern, observed by the carbohydrate-binding proteins and nitric oxide (NO) content that protects the intact mucosa.
The levels of antioxidant enzymes produced by the tested rats such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were also significantly higher in the VOPA group at doses of 25, 50 or 75 mg/kg body weight.
In other words, VOPA inhibited lipid peroxidation by enhancing the production of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "VOPA exerts a potent gastroduodenoprotective activity via an increase in endogenous NO generation, suppression of lipid peroxidation and mobilization of antioxidant activity and changes in glycoconjugate content of the gastroduodenal mucosa of rats".
Taken altogether, cramp bark(Viburnum opulus) may process the gastroduodenoprotective effects, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Angelica Processes Neuro-Protective Activity
Neuroprotection is a process to preserve the neuronal structure and/or function against the death or gradual death of neurons, including the use of medicines and herbs.
In other words, neuroprotection protects the neuronal integrity against the reduction in the rate of neuronal loss over time inducing neurological disease, including neurodegenerative disease.
Brain ischemia is a condition caused by insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand, leading to irreversible brain damage in severe cases.
In other words, brain ischemia-induced the death of neurons of the affected tissues.
Brain ischemia can be classified into
* Focal ischemia is a condition caused by damage to a specific region of the brain; and
* Global ischemia is a condition of damage that affects the wide areas of brain tissue, leading to symptoms of impairments in vision, body movement, and speaking.
Dr. Jin-Moo Lee in the study of the issues of how the brain tissue responses to ischemia, said, "The brain is particularly vulnerable to ischemia. Complete interruption of blood flow to the brain for only 5 minutes triggers the death of vulnerable neurons in several brain regions, whereas 20–40 minutes of ischemia is required to kill cardiac myocytes or kidney cells".
And, "...the brain’s intrinsic cell-cell and intracellular signaling mechanisms, normally responsible for information processing, become harmful under ischemic conditions, hastening energy failure and enhancing the final pathways underlying ischemic cell death in all tissues, including free radical production, activation of catabolic enzymes, membrane failure, apoptosis, and inflammation".
Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.
The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.
On finding a potential compound for the protection of the brain, researchers examined the neuroprotective effects of Xixian Tongshuan Preparation containing Ligusticum chuanxiong, Angelica Sinensis, Carthamus tinctorius, and Panax pseudo-ginseng.
According to chemical analysis, all constituents found in the formula work synergistically to protect the neurons against damage.
Furthermore, the formula inhibited the 5 glutamate receptors, TGFR-1, and VEGFR-2 in the mediation of the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines to induce neuron death and injury.
Moreover, a single component, such as neo-complanatoside and neo-carthamin, in Xixian Tongshuan Preparation could simultaneously act on different targets to exert their neuroprotective effects.
Based on the findings, researchers wrote, "This study explains the multi-target mechanism of anti-cerebral ischemic injury in neuroprotection at the molecular level, and provides a certain direction for the clinical application and experimental research of Xixian Tongshuan Preparation".
Taken altogether, herbal Angelica in combination with other herbal medicines that may be considered a neuroprotective remedy, pending to larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Turmeric, the Hepatoprotective Functional Remedy
Hepatoprotection is the action including the use of a substance such as herbal remedy to protect the liver against damage and injury.
Antihepatotoxicity is the ability that protects the liver against toxins.
Acute liver diseases in most cases are caused by drugs and long-term intake of certain medications. Most acute liver disease can be cured if the cause is found.
Chronic liver diseases (CLD) are liver diseases that last more than 6 months. Most chronic liver diseases are caused by a genetic preposition or a variety of factors that damage the liver, including viruses and alcohol use.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common liver diseases in the world affecting 25% of the general population most of them in the Western world.
Some researchers suggested that the use of substances to protect the liver may involve several mechanisms, including strengthening the liver, gastrointestinal and immune system.
Dr. C. Girish, the lead scientists in the discussion of hepatoprotective effect, wrote, " The regulation of gastrointestinal system may improve the general well-being of the patients, as well as improvement of constipation, may prevent the absorption of harmful substances and indirectly decrease ascites (Langmead and Rampton, 2001). The protection of liver cells against toxic materials including drugs, lipid peroxidation, and free radical injury may decrease inflammation, improve liver blood flow, and ultimately help in the reduction of ascites and blood pressure (Yang et al., 2000)".
In other words, herbal medicine expressed liver protection not only by improving the blood flow to the liver but also through regulating the gastrointestinal system against the building up toxins in the induction of free radicals and suppressing the normal function of the liver and improving the immune system against inflammation-induced the lipid oxidation.
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 ingredient for the protection of liver integrity, researchers examined curcumin, the active ingredient of turmeric therapeutic potential for the treatment of liver disorders.
Application of curcumin showed a liver protective activity by inhibiting the liver toxicity caused by long-term excessive alcohol drinking and acetaminophen, lindane, carbon tetrachloride (CCL4), diethylnitrosamine.
Furthermore, curcumin also restored the liver functioning in heavy metals induced hepatotoxicities models.
In the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common causes of the chronic liver disease model, researchers examined the Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), a polyphenolic compound derived from the Curcumae Longae Rhizoma liver protective activity.
The study included C57BL/6J mice divided into five groups of normal (normal diet without any treatment), methionine choline deficient (MCD)-diet (MCD diet only), MCD + silymarin (SIL) 100 mg/kg group, MCD + BDMC 100 mg/kg group, MCD + SIL 50 mg/kg + BDMC 50 mg/kg group.
BDMC protected the liver against fatty change compared to severe hepatic fatty accumulation in the MCD- diet group.
BDMC increased liver function significantly, compared to that of the loss of liver function in the MCD-diet group.
Most importantly, BDMC showed an inhibitory effect on liver lipogenesis by reducing associated gene expression caused by the MCD-diet.
Moreover, combinations of BDMC with SIL had a synergistic effect against MCD-diet models.
Based on the findings, Dr. Kim SB, the lead scientists said, "our findings indicate that BDMC has a potential suppressive effect on NAFLD. Therefore, our data suggest that BDMC may act as a novel and potent therapeutic agent against NAFLD".
Taken altogether, turmeric and its bioactive compound curcumin may be considered a remedy for the improvement of liver functioning, 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.

Dandelion(Taraxacum officinale), the Potential and Natural Anti-Inflammatory Remedy
Inflammation is the natural response of the immune system macrophages, the first line of defense in stimulating the production of inflammatory cytokines to protect our body against the infection caused by foreign microorganisms during the acute phase of body damage and injury.
Truly, the main focus of inflammation is to repair damage and injury.
Most cases of infection associated with inflammation are stopped at the acute phase. The wound or injury is slowly recovered.
However, overexpression of inflammatory cytokines in most cases can cause improper healing with scar formation or the death of nearby cells.
Any inflammation that lasts more than 3 months is considered chronic inflammation.
Chronic inflammation is the result of the immune system's inability to kill off all the microorganisms participated in the acute phase of infection, leading to the forming of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases such as RA and diabetes.
Inflammation also can be caused by overexpression of free radicals compared to the antioxidant enzymes in the body. This result can lead to an imbalance of the ratio of the levels of free radicals and antioxidants, the major cause of oxidative stress.
However, people with a weakened immune system, acute inflammatory progression cannot be stopped due to the inability of the immune system to destroy all invaders, which may lead to low-grade chronic inflammation.
Longer-term oxidative stress in the body can also cause oxidative damage to biomolecules, including lipids, proteins, DNA damage.
Anti-inflammation is the process that inhibits inflammation or swelling without affecting the immune property to curb foreign pathogens.
Conventionally, the most common use of anti-inflammatory medicines is over counter aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) and other prescription NSAIDs.
Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.
On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with inflammation, scientists examined the mechanisms responsible for the anti-inflammation effects of water extract of T. mongolicum Hand.-Mazz (WETMHM) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory in acute lung injury.
Female BALB/c mice selected to the investigation were randomly divided into five groups with 10 mice in each group: (1) control group (saline), (2) LPS group, (3) LPS+dexamethasone (LPS+Dex, 2mg/kg, administered by gavage), (4) LPS+WETMHM (5 g/kg, administered by gavage), (5) LPS+WETMHM (10 g/kg, administered by gavage).
According to the results from the tested analysis, treatment with the WETMHM exhibited a number of mechanisms against LPS-induced inflammation, including the
* Attenuating inflammation cell numbers in the BALF
* Decreasing the protein levels of lung PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and
* Improving the antioxidant activity of SOD.
* Inhibiting MPO activity associated with inflammation
Furthermore, the histological studies also demonstrated that WETMHM substantially inhibited LPS-induced neutrophils in lung tissue.
Based on the results, researchers suggest, " The results indicated that the WETMHM had a protective effect on LPS-induced ALI in mice".
Taken altogether, dandelion may be considered a remedy for the treatment of diseases associated with inflammation, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Green Tea and Its polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate EGCG Kill Over 84% of Endometrial Cancer Cells, Scientists Reveal
Scientists may have found a popular beverage that processes a significant effect in reducing risk and treatment of endometrial cancer, according to some studies.
Endometrial cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth uncontrollably in the endometrium.
At the late stage, the cancerous cell may travel a distance away from the original site to infect other organs and tissues.
Some researchers suggested that endometrial cancer is not caused by a single factor but a number of conditions.
Women who have a persistent irregular ovulation pattern due to conditions of polycystic ovary syndrome, obesity, and diabetes are associated with a higher risk of the disease.
The risk of endometrial cancer is also increased in women who are taking hormone therapy after menopause, containing estrogen.
The most common symptoms are persistently abnormal vaginal bleeding. If you are experiencing some of the above symptoms, you should see your doctor right the way to rule out the possibility.
The early stage of endometrial cancer is treated successfully by surgery, including removing the uterus.
Green tea, a precious drink which processed numbers of health benefit is known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world.
In the experiment of green tea bioactive compounds against the progression of tumor xenografts of human endometrial cancer, researchers found that (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate EGCG demonstrates a significant effect in reduced risk of endometrial cancer development through the bioactive chemicals anti-tumor angiogenesis properties.
In fact, the anti-cancer active compound efficacy was attributed to the modulation of expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) protein in the established new vessel to stimulate the onset of cancer and cancer cell proliferation and HIF-1 functions in the activated transcription of many genes, that regulate cellular and systemic homeostatic response to external changes to tumor growth.
Furthermore, application of EGCG also suppressed responses of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12) in expression of multiple physiological processes, promoted invasion and metastasis of tumor cells in connected tissues of the uterine mucosa (endometrium), thus reducing the infiltration of VEGFA-expressing tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in supplying rapidly growing malignant tissues with essential nutrients and oxygen.
Additionally, further analysis also insisted that EGCG restricted secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) initiated endometrial cancer growth by inhibiting the function of PI3K/AKT/mTOR/HIF1α pathway in the regulation of many cellular processes, including cell survival, proliferation, and growth.
After taking account all findings, treatment with EGCG reduced risk of endometrial cancer onset may be results of EGCG suppressed secretion in both fronts, the decreased cancer cell-secreted VEGFA and inhibited TAM-secreted VEGFA in endometrial cancer progression.
Further differentiation, also showed that green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate reduced cancer expansion by suppressing the expression of proliferation markers which act indirectly to stimulate endometrial epithelial proliferation in estrogen receptor α, progesterone receptor, proliferating cell nuclear antigen and cyclin D1.
The overexpression of cyclin D1 has linked to the development and progression of cancer.
The proliferating cell nuclear antigen is a protein with the function of cell cycle regulation and/or DNA replication and DNA synthesis and DNA repair.
Importantly, the inhibition of EGCG also decreased the activation of ERK, the extracellular signal-regulated kinases protein in cancer cell division and down the expression of transcription factors fos and jun, the cellular immediate-early genes in the induced transient cancer cell division and differentiation processes.
The function of EGCG in reduced risk of endometrial cancer also expressed through Bcl-2-associated X protein, cleavage of caspase-3 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase actions in the induction of cancer cell apoptosis and suppression of antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2).
Bcl-2-associated X is a protein with the function of anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators involved in a wide variety of cellular activities.
B-cell lymphoma 2, a family protein with a function in the regulation of cell apoptosis.
Cleavage of caspase-3 also is known as a critical executioner of apoptosis,
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase is a protein with function involved in a number of cellular processes, including programmed cell death.
Implicitly, application of EGCG also increased production of free radical expression in the initiated cytotoxic effect by reducing levels of antioxidant glutathione levels and activating the p38 in the induction of cancer cells death without inducing toxicity to normal cells
P38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are activated by a wide range of cellular stresses in the response to inflammatory cytokines involved in cell differentiation, apoptosis, and autophagy.
Indeed, according to a systematic review of literature published on database of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and China Biological Medicine Database up to February 2, 2015, researchers indicated that green tea consumption is associated with a reduced risk of EC (relative risk of .78) and each additional cup of green tea consumed per day decreased risk of developing EC by 11%.
Particularly, the intake of green tea associated with the attenuated risk of endometrial cancer was 84.33% compared to 5.07 % of black tea.
Taken together, green tea and its polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate EGCG may be considered a functional food used conjunction with standard therapy in reducing risk and treatment of endometrial cancer.

Endometrial cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth uncontrollably in the endometrium.
At the late stage, the cancerous cell may travel a distance away from the original site to infect other organs and tissues.
Some researchers suggested that endometrial cancer is not caused by a single factor but a number of conditions.
Women who have a persistent irregular ovulation pattern due to conditions of polycystic ovary syndrome, obesity, and diabetes are associated with a higher risk of the disease.
The risk of endometrial cancer is also increased in women who are taking hormone therapy after menopause, containing estrogen.

Herbal Comfrey(Symphytum officinale L.), a Natural Treatment for Unilateral Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are the most common injury in the sport associated with overstretching of fibers or of the collagen of the ankle ligaments, causing the partial or complete disruption of the fibers.
In athletes with acute lateral ankle sprains, the balance ability in patients with acute lateral ankle sprain was significantly weaker. The weight-bearing on the nondominant limb was found to be significantly higher than on the dominant limb.
Treatment is totally depending on the severity of the condition, including
* Rest by avoiding activities that cause pain, swelling or discomfort.
* Ice treatment with an ice pack or ice slush bath immediately for 15 to 20 minutes and repeat every two to three to relieve pain and swelling.
* Compression is effective to stop swelling.
* Elevation
By keeping your foot elevated has been found to decrease pain and swelling.
And
* Medications
Over-the-counter pain relievers — such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve, others) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) have been used to manage the pain of a sprained ankle.
* Surgery
In some cases, surgery may be necessary if the repair a ligament that won't heal or won't heal properly, or the reconstruction of ligament tissues.
Comfrey is a perennial plant in the genus of Symphytum, belonging to the family Boraginaceae, native to Europe. It has been used in herbal and traditional medicine to ease excessive bleeding or on open wounds, relieve pain and swollen, treat circulation issues, reduce cholesterol, etc.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of diseases associated with ankle pain, researchers compared the efficacy of comfrey extract to a commercial diclofenac (CAS 78213-16-8) preparation in the treatment of unilateral ankle sprains.
The observer-blind, randomized, multi-center clinical trial with two independent treatment groups "comfrey extract" and "diclofenac gel" (parallel-group design) included a total of 164 patients (82 in the comfrey group and 82 in the diclofenac group, intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis) was conducted by the Istituto Ortopedico Galeazzi.
According to the results of the tested assay, the area under the curve (AUC) of the difference of the tenderness values contra-lateral minus injured side, pain at rest and on movement, and swelling and ankle movement were significantly improved in the comfrey group, compared to the diclofenac group.
Furthermore, on average of mean difference comfrey extract minus diclofenac, the AUC was +61.1 h x N/cm2 greater for patients treated with comfrey extract compared to diclofenac group (95% confidence interval: 19.08; 103.09 h x N/cm2).
The difference between the two treatment groups was statistically significant (analysis of variance with factors "study drug", "center", and "drug x center interaction") as the comfrey group showed a far better result in the treatment of unilateral ankle sprains.
There were no side effects during the treatment periods in both groups.
Based on the findings, researchers said, " The re-evaluation of the data showed the superiority of the plant-based ointment over the diclofenac gel in the treatment of distortions".
Taken altogether, Comfrey plant-based ointment combined with other herbal medicine may be considered a remedy for the treatment of unilateral ankle sprains, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), Inhibits the Breast Cancer Cells in Vitro
The breast is the tissue overlying the chest muscles. in women, breasts are made of specialized tissue that produces milk (glandular tissue) and fatty tissue. The size of the women's breasts is totally determined by the amount of fat.
Breast cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth irregularly and disorderly in the breast tissue.
Most cases of breast cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the breast tissue before spreading into deeper layers of the breast.
Early-stage of breast cancer in most cases first noticed as a painless lump in the breast or armpit and most often is discovered by patients or patients partner or their doctors during a routine physical exam.
The early stage of breast cancer symptoms normally include
* Lump (mass) in the breast
* Lump in the armpit (lymph nodes)
* Nipple discharge (clear or bloody)
* Inverted or retracted nipple
* Scaly or pitted skin on nipple persistent tenderness of the breast
and Unusual breast pain or discomfort
At the advanced stage, breast cancer can travel a distance away to infect other healthy organs and tissues and induce symptoms of
* Bone pain (Secondary tumors in the bone)
* Shortness of breath (Secondary tumors in the lung)
* Unintentional weight loss and drop in appetite (Secondary tumors in the liver)
* Headaches, neurological pain or weakness (Secondary tumors in the nervous system)
Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.
On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of cancer, scientists compared the anti-breast cancer effects of three aqueous extracts prepared from the mature leaves, flowers, and roots of Taraxacum officinale.
According to the tested differentiation
* The crude extract of the dandelion leaf (DLE) showed strong activity against the growth of MCF-7/AZ breast cancer cells associated with the signaling on the surface of the cell to the DNA in the nucleus of the cell in an ERK-dependent manner.
* The aqueous extracts of dandelion flower (DFE) and root (DRE) showed no effect on the growth of either cell line, however, DRE blocked the invasion of MCF-7/AZ breast cancer cells by decreasing phosphorylation levels of FAK and SRC involved in cancer cell adhesion.
* Additionally, breast cancer cell migration associated with matrix metalloproteinases also reduced by the injection DRE.
Based on the findings, researchers suggested, "This study provides new scientific data on TO and suggests that TO extracts or individual components present in the extracts may be of value as novel anti-cancer agents".
Taken altogether, Dandelion leaves and roots may be considered remedies for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
