Luteolin is 3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone found abundantly in celery showed in regulation of cell cycle progression and apoptosis in the HT-29 human colon cancer
cell line, through inhibited CDK2, decreased levels of Cyclin D1 levels
and promoted G2/M arrest via certain mechanisms(b)(c). In the study of a
total of 336 incident cases of histologically confirmed colorectal cancer (111 colon cancer and 225 rectal cancer in Harbin city, the Harbin Medical College found that increased consumption of green vegetables, including celery, have a strong protective effect against colorectal cancer(d).
According to Dr. Belanger JT, Perillyl alcohol,a monoterpene isolated from the essential oils of celery
seeds was active in inducing apoptosis in tumor cells without affecting
normal cells and can revert tumor cells back to a differentiated state,
including colon cancer cells(e).

Retinitis pigmentosa in Herbs, Foods and antioxidants Points of View
By Kyle J. Norton
Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetic degenerative of eye diseases characteristic of slowly progressive damage of the retina, affecting about 1 in 4,000 people in the United States(1) and about 1in 3500 Canadians.(2).
Epidemiological studies, linking certain herbs, foods and vitamins in delay and alleviation of symptoms of the disease have produced certain success, but large sample size and multi centers studies are necessary to improve the validation of the claims.
A. The herbs
Limitation of research in finding the natural treatment for Retinitis pigmentosa, may be due to its genetically mutative nature.
Bilberry is low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to
the temperate and subarctic regions of the world(3). The herb has been used in folk medicine for its astringent action, an antihistamine effect, and it is also believe to posses anti-microbial as well as anti-diarrheal effects(4), due to its antioxidants effects of delphinidin, cyanidin, petunidin, peonidin, malvidin, etc.(5). According to epidemiological studies. although with limitation, bilberry may be beneficiary in delayed progression and alleviated symptoms of Retinitis pigmentosa due to its effectiveness in protection of vision against many forms of eye diseases.(6)(7)(8)(9). According to 1Johns Hopkins University, in Ninety-six Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients with any level of vision completed an anonymous internet survey. bilberry supplement was used in 32% of the correspondents, who were experiencing some impact on vision and physical/emotional well-being(10). In a blue light, a high-energy or short-wavelength visible light induced retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and genetic related retinitis pigmentosa, bilberry extract (B-ext), containing high amounts of polyphenols (anthocyanins, resveratrol, and proanthocyanidins) exhibited its effects in improved the viability of 661 W cells and inhibited the generation of intracellular ROS induced by blue LED light irradiation, probably through inhibited the activation of p38 MAPK and NF-kappaB and caspase-3/7 activation and autophagy(11). Other herbs may also contain similar effects as bilberry such as lingo berry or cowberry(11).
B. The foods
1. The fatty fish and fish oil
Linseed oil or fish oil may have a potential in delay the progression in genetic eye disorder of Retinitis pigmentosa, In retinas of RP rat model, the combination of linseed and fish oil exhibited lower-than-normal levels of ROS DHA may reflect an adaptive, possibly protective, mechanism in the P23H(12). In the University of Ottawa study, Onega 3 fatty acid found abundantly in fish oil showed in improvement of some retinitis pigmentosa outcomes in Clinical preliminary research in this field, further studies are necessary(13). Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an other chemical derived from Omega 3 fatty acid, found abundantly in cold water fatty fish, such as salmon, in the study by the Harvard Medical School, showed a positive effect in among patients who were not taking vitamin A prior to entry, those in the DHA + A group had a slower decline in field sensitivity and electroretinogram amplitude than those in the control + A group over the first 2 years(14). Due to the influences of membrane phospholipid fatty acid abnormalities(15), some researchers suggested Fatty acid content alterations in membrane phospholipids of red blood cells of patients with Retinitis pigmentosa may be considered as markers for abnormalities in the lipid metabolism which disturb the retina integrity(16). Unfortunately, according to Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in the review of the existent data of 394 titles and abstracts and nine ClinicalTrials.gov records and included three RCTs that met eligibility criteria, indicated a no clear evidence for benefit of treatment with DHA for people with RP(13).
2. The coffee
Chlorogenic acid, found in green coffee extract or Coffee, in this prospective, non-comparative, single-arm study, showed a beneficial effect on the peripheral area at the margins of retinal degeneration, and should be considered as an anti-oxidant for the management of retinitis pigmentosa(17)
C. The antioxidants
Antioxidants, may be potential in delay the progression and management of retinitis pigmentosa, according to aster University, when initial signs of vision health deterioration are observed, the appropriate nutritional supplement products may be recommended but only to augment the primary medical treatments(18). Dr. Baumgartner WA and Dr. Baumgartner AM. in one patient study to test a developed and tested a treatment regimen with a range of antioxidants in combination with the off-label use of deprenyl (1 mg/day), a safe antiapoptotic agent, for 140 months indicated a significant improvement as patient's right eye visual field showed 0% decline and left eye 13.3% decline of which defianted to the rate constants for logarithmic decline of visual field measured prior to treatment as visual fields would have decreased by 64% and 70%, respectively by month 140 in the absence of treatment(19).
1. Vitamin A
Vitamin A is a general term of Vitamin A Retinol, retinal, beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, gamma-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin best known for its functions for vision health and antioxidant scavenger and essential for growth and differentiation of a number of cells and tissues.
Recommended intakes of vitamin A, according to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (formerly National Academy of Sciences) is 600 µg daily as extremely high doses (>9000 mg) can be toxicity as causes of dry, scaly skin, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, bone and joint pains, headaches, etc.
Suggestion of the pathology of 11-cis-retinal deficiency caused by gene mutations may result in human retinal diseases that cause blindness, such as Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP)(20) due to involvement in the interaction of light with rhodopsin rather than with free chromophore or bleached rhodopsin(21). In autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa patients, vitamin A supplements may be beneficiary for some patients with retinitis pigmentosa, especiallt in patients with autosomal dominant, according to Dr. Roberts L and research team(22). In the regard of Vitamin A's effectiveness in delaying progression of the disease, researchers at the 1Centro di Ricerca in Nutrizione suggested " a lifetime generous supplementation of retinol is advisable, together with a vitamin A-rich diet and/or a dietary supplement (e.g. carrot flour) or pharmacologic supplement of vitamin A. Supply of vitamin A in doses up to 25000 IU (7500 igr/day), even for several years, has so far proved safe from risk of occurrence of liver disease"(23). Although it is controversial, some researchers suggested 15,000 IU of vitamin A palmitate per day may slow the progression, Low vision rehabilitation, long wavelength pass filters, and pedigree counseling remain the mainstay of management(24).
2. Vitamin E
Vitamin E, a fat soluble vitamin, consisting eight different variants (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol and alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienol) with varying levels of biological activity(2), found abundantly in corn oil, soybean oil, margarine, wheat germ oil, sunflower,safflower oils, etc. plays an important role in neurological functions and inhibition of platelet aggregation, regulation of enzymatic activity, free radical scavenger, etc..
Vitamin E supplementation may improve symptoms and prevent the progression of Retinitis pigmentosa as its variant alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) inhibited proliferation of human RPE in culture without exerting cytotoxic effects.(25). According to the National University of Mexico, in the study of the formula taurine/diltiazem/vitamin E on the progression of visual field loss in retinitis pigmentosa indicated a improving changes in the, slope values with decreasing the rate of visual field loss, likely through a protective action from free radical reactions in affected photoreceptors(26). Unfortunately, the study of supplements of vitamin A or vitamin E alone or in combination in the affect of the course of retinitis pigmentosa, suggested a positive effect in delay and progress of the diseases with 15,000 IU/d of vitamin A but an adverse effect of 400 IU/d of vitamin E on the course of retinitis pigmentosa(27) and vitamin E should be avoided(28).
3. Lutein
Lutien a xanthophyll, belonging to the family of carotenoids, found abundantly in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, yellow carrots, etc., plays an important role in modulation of light energy and protection of retina against damage of free radicals produced by blue light. Lutein supplementation may be effective in slowing visual function decline in patients with retinitis pigmentosa receiving vitamin A, according to the Harvard Medical School, dietary intake of Lutein supplementation of 12 mg/d slowed loss of midperipheral visual field on average among nonsmoking adults with retinitis pigmentosa taking vitamin A(29). The randomized double-masked placebo-controlled clinical trial [NCT00029289] conducted by the Johns Hopkins University, suggested that lutein supplementation improves visual field and also might improve visual acuity slightly, although these results should be interpreted cautiously(30). The study at the University of Pennsylvania showed no change no in central vision after 6 months of lutein supplementation, but suggested that a long-term influences on the natural history of these retinal degenerations require further study(31).
Other study also showed the potential effect in the combination application of Lutein and vitamin A in patient of Retinitis pigmentosa, as lutein improved short-term vision improvements in age-related macular degeneration--also occur in RP, especially in blue-eyed individuals; vitamin A may also increase visual field benefits(32).
Taken altogether, excluding vitamin E, even with limitation of data, herbal bilberry, fatty fish and fish oil and antioxidants vitamin A and Lutein may be effective in delay the progression of genetic degenerative eye disease, retinitis pigmentosa, but larger sample size and multi centers studies to improve their validation are necessary.

Celery and lung cancer
Lung cancer is defined as a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue. Most common form of primary lung cancers are derived from epithelial cells. In Us, Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths, causing 158,683 people deaths, including 88,329 men and 70,354 women, according to 2007 statistic.
The study of dietary intake of vegetables and fruit and lung cancer risk in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, northeast China(b) and Tin Corporation (YTC) miners in Yunnan(c), showed a positive effect of intake of celery daily in reduced risk of lung cancer. According to Dr. Belanger JT. research, Perillyl alcohol, a monoterpene isolated from the essential oils of celery seeds, exhibited the effect of inducing apoptosis in tumor cells without affecting normal cells and reverting tumor cells back to a differentiated state in very cancer cells, including lung cancer, through increased mannose-6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptors, tissue growth factor beta receptors, Bak and decreased ras protein prenylation, ubiquinone synthesis, and induced Phase I and Phase II detoxification systems(d).

Phytochemical allicin and Stomach cancer
Allicin is phytochemical containing sulfur in the class of organosulfur compound, found abundantly in onion and garlic.
Stomach cancer is defined as condition of abnormal growth of the mucus-producing cells of the inside lining of the stomach. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of stomach cancer.
The health effects
Allicin, even though is the least studied in scientific community, but its antitumor properties is undeniable in research. Study of the underlying mechanism of allicin on gastric cancer cells, allicin induced apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in gastric cancer cells, through induced cytochrome c release from the mitochondria and increased caspase-3, -8, and -9 activation, with concomitant upregulation of bax and fas expression in the tumor cells. In the effect of allicin on cell proliferation and apoptosis of progressive gastric carcinoma, allicin showed effects in up-regulating the protein expressions of apoptosis promoting gene Bax and apoptosis initiating gene Fas, and down-regulating that of anti-apoptosis gene Bcl-2 via local application of allicinvia gastroscopy.

Skin aging in Vitamin B5 points of view
By Kyle J. Norton
Skin aging is one of most visible process which occurs constantly in our skin organ. According to the Clinical Centre of Nis, certain plant extracts may have the ability to scavenge free radicals, to protect the skin matrix through the inhibition of enzymatic degradation, or to promote collagen synthesis in the skin, affect skin elasticity and tightness(a). Other suggested that free radicals induced domino effects in production of reactive oxygen species, can react with DNA, proteins, and fatty acids, causing oxidative damage and impairment of antioxidant system, leading injuries damage regulation pathways of skin, including wrinkles, roughness, appearance of fine lines, lack of elasticity, and de- or hyperpigmentation marks(b).
Vitamin B5, also known as Pantothenic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin found abundantly in whole-grain cereals, legumes, eggs, meat, royal jelly, avocado, and yogurt. The vitamin plays an important role in synthesized and metabolized proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
According to 1Nutrition Science Solutions LLC, in the study of Hass avocados, containing high amounts of pantothenic acid and other antioxidants, showed a positive effect in supported cardiovascular health and might support weight management and healthy aging(1). A facial lotion containing vitamins B3 and E and provitamin B5, showed a significantly reduced appearance of hyperpigmentation, improved skin tone evenness, appearance of lightening of skin in a total of 246 women randomized to treatment, 207 (84%) completed the study(2). Panthenyl triacetate, a Water- and oil-soluble derivative of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) used combination with Ethyl linoleate (bioactive complex) and given both pre- and post-irradiation, showed to stimulate the repairing enzyme expression caused by skin photo-ageing induced accumulation of oxidized protein(3). Composition of Dead Sea (DS) mud and other ingredients like DS water, zinc oxide, aloe-vera extract, pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin E, exhibited its protective, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties antagonized biological effects of UVB irradiation in skin(4). Topical application of Dexpanthenol, a supplemental source of pantothetic acid considerably improved the symptoms of skin irritation, such as dryness of the skin, roughness, scaling, pruritus, erythema, erosion/fissures, over 3 to 4 weeks, according to the study by 1Technical University of Munich, Allershausen(5) and enhanced skin barrier repair and stratum corneum hydration, while reduced skin roughness and inflammation(6).
Taken altogether, vitamin B5 may be effective in reduced the onset of skin aging and aging progression through its antioxidant activity, but further studies are necessary to confirm its claim. As always, all articles written by Kyle J. Norton are for information & education only, please consult your Doctor & Related field specialist before applying.

Phytochemical allicin and endometrium cancer
Allicin is phytochemical containing sulfur in the class of organosulfur compound, found abundantly in onion and garlic.
Endometrium is the inner lining of the mammalian uterus and very susceptible hormone change, particular to menstrual cycle. Endometrial cancer is a late adulthood cancer defined as a condition of which the cells of the endometrial lining of uterus have growth uncontrollable or become cancerous as a result of the alternation of cells DNA. It's the fourth most common cancer among women overall, after breast cancer, lung cancer, and bowel cancer.
The benefits
Although garlic has drawn many interest in scientific community, but believe or not allicin is the least. In the study of the effect of allicin's antiproliferative effect in vitro models, showed a significantly inhibited proliferation of human mammary (MCF-7), endometrial (Ishikawa), and colon (HT-29) cancer cells (50% inhibitory concentration = 10-25 microM) attributed to the ability of allicin to transiently deplete the intracellular GSH level(1). Other study also indicated that this main flavor compound in garlic, has exerted its anti-carcinogenic activities against a wide range of cancer cells. U87MG is one of a number of cell lines derived from malignant glioma was inhibited, causing apoptosis of cells by allicin in a dose- and time-dependent manner, involve the mitochondrial pathway of Bcl-2/Bax, the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway and antioxidant enzyme systems(2).

Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder named after German physician Alois Alzheimer. Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect language communication, memory, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer's gets worse over time, and it is fatal.
L-3-n-butylphthalide (L-NBP), containing in the extract from seeds of Apium graveolens Linn (Chinese celery) on cerebral ischemic, vascular dementia and amyloid-β (Aβ)-induced animal models, showed to inhibit oxidative injury, neuronal apoptosis and glial activation, regulating amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) processing and reducing Aβ generation(b), improved cognitive impairment such as learning and memory and reduces amyloid-beta in a transgenic model of Alzheimer's disease, through regulating APP(soluble amyloid precursor protein secretion) processing, and reducing glial activation and oxidative stress(c) and protected neurons against Abeta-induced neurotoxicity via inhibiting tau protein hyperphosphorylation(d).

L-3-n-butylphthalide (L-NBP), containing in the extract from seeds of Apium graveolens Linn (Chinese celery) on cerebral ischemic, vascular dementia and amyloid-β (Aβ)-induced animal models, showed to inhibit oxidative injury, neuronal apoptosis and glial activation, regulating amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) processing and reducing Aβ generation(b), improved cognitive impairment such as learning and memory and reduces amyloid-beta in a transgenic model of Alzheimer's disease, through regulating APP(soluble amyloid precursor protein secretion) processing, and reducing glial activation and oxidative stress(c) and protected neurons against Abeta-induced neurotoxicity via inhibiting tau protein hyperphosphorylation(d).
