Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. According to a community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home, musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed(*).

Types of Musculo-Skeletal disorders in elder

1. Osteoarthritis
2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis
6. Osteoporosis
7. Low back pain
8. Fibromyalgia

Gout

Gout mostly effected one joint is an acute and recurrent condition of arthritis as a result of uric acid building up in blood, inducing joint inflammation.

Treatments

A. In conventional medicine perspective
A.1. Acetaminophen
Acetaminophen is an analgesic drug used by conventional medicine for treatment of headaches, arthritis, etc., as well as reducing fever, often as an alternative to aspirin without causing gastrointestinal adverse effecta. Acetaminophen such as Tylenol can help to relive the pain of Gout.
b. Side effects if overdose, are not limit to
b.1. Nausea and vomiting
b.2. Appetite loss
b.3. Sweating
b.4. Diarrhea
b.5. Irritability
b.6. Abdominal pain
b.7. Etc.
The University of Adelaide, in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, showed that application of acetaminophen was associated with adverse effects of suppression of serum neutralizing antibody response and increased nasal symptoms and signs(233) and hepatic damage(234) and toxicity(234).

Dr. Bhargava VO and Dr. Hirate J., said, " the relative contribution of the gastrointestinal tract and liver to the oral first-pass effect of acetaminophen may be dose-dependent"(235).

A.2. The study of Gout–what are the treatment options? indicated that The options available for the treatment of acute gout (236)are

1. NSAIDs
a. NSAIDs, also known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents/analgesics are commonly prescribed to control gout attacks in patients with hyperuricaemia.
Colchicine, due to economic affordable to many patients has been prescribed for treatment of gout with less adverse effects such as better tolerated, especially in patients with peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding or dyspepsia or who are taking anticoagulants(237), in acute gout patients.

According to the joint study led by the Lanzhou University in review of researched articles from 1983 until August 2014 suggested, beside "pain relief as the primary outcome, Tenderness, swelling, patients' global assessments of response to treatment, and investigators' global assessments of response to treatment were reported as the secondary outcomes"(238) with certain adverse effects depending to types of medicine and dose manner.

b. Side effects are not limit to
Dr. Bjarnason I, and the research team at King’s College School of Medicine and Dentistry, in the study of Side effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the small and large intestine in humans, suggested "Ingested NSAIDs may cause a nonspecific colitis (in particular, fenemates), and many patients with collagenous colitis are taking NSAIDs. Large intestinal ulcers, bleeding, and perforation are occasionally due to NSAIDs. NSAIDs may cause relapse of classic inflammatory bowel disease and contribute to serious complications of diverticular disease (fistula and perforation)" and
"NSAIDs may occasionally cause small intestinal perforation, ulcers, and strictures requiring surgery. NSAIDs, however, frequently cause small intestinal inflammation, and the associated complications of blood loss and protein loss may lead to difficult management problems" and "The pathogenesis of NSAID enteropathy is a multistage process involving specific biochemical and subcellular organelle damage followed by a relatively nonspecific tissue reaction. The various possible treatments of NSAID-induced enteropathy (sulphasalazine, misoprostol, metronidazole) have yet to undergo rigorous trials"(239).
Dr. Davies NM and colleagues at the University of Sydney insisted, Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may also cause damage distal to the duodenum, through involving specific biochemical and subcellular organelle damage followed by inflammatory tissue reaction(240).

Furthermore, Dr. Davies NM said, "Because NSAIDS are widely prescribed and some are available without a prescription, heightened awareness of these toxicologic manifestations throughout the GI tract may reduce morbidity"(241).

Most Common Disease of50plus: The Clinical trials and Studies of Musculo-Skeletal disorders(MSDs)- Gout - The Free radical scavengers Vitamin D

The Free radical scavengers

Dr. Choi HK in the study of dietary risk factors for rheumatic diseases said, "Because diet is an unavoidable universal exposure for people, even a small effect that can be achieved by dietary manipulation may produce a large impact on the population's health" and "A recent prospective study investigated several purported dietary factors for gout and confirmed some of the long-standing suspicions (red meats, seafood, beer, and liquor), exonerated others (total protein, wine, and purine-rich vegetables), and also identified potentially new protective factors (dairy products)"(185).

1.3. Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble secosteroids found in small amount in few foods, including salmon, mackerel, sardines and tuna. The vitamin plays an important role in modulation of cellular proliferation, apoptosis induction, tumor growth suppression and promotion in absorption of minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate and zinc.

According to the The Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College, lower serum 25(OH)D levels is found to associated to patients with gout involved the attenuation of regulating immune system in fighting against the inflammatory parameters(182)(183).

In fact, Dr. Takahashi S and colleagues at the Hyogo College of Medicine said, in the study of serum of concentrations of 1,25(OH)2-vitamin D3 in patients with gout, "The administration of uric acid lowering agent to the patients for 1 year caused a significant increase in their serum 1,25(OH)2-vitamin D3 concentration which was associated with a significant decrease in their serum uric acid concentration"(184).

Most Common Disease of50plus: The Clinical trials and Studies of Musculo-Skeletal disorders(MSDs)- Gout - The Free radical scavengers Vitamin C

The Antioxidants: The Free radical scavengers

Dr. Choi HK in the study of dietary risk factors for rheumatic diseases said, "Because diet is an unavoidable universal exposure for people, even a small effect that can be achieved by dietary manipulation may produce a large impact on the population's health" and "A recent prospective study investigated several purported dietary factors for gout and confirmed some of the long-standing suspicions (red meats, seafood, beer, and liquor), exonerated others (total protein, wine, and purine-rich vegetables), and also identified potentially new protective factors (dairy products)"(185).

1.2. Vitamin C

Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbate is a water soluble vitamin with a chemical structure formula of C6H6O6. The vitamin cannot be stored in the body for more than 24 hours. Oral administration of vitamin C is associated to reduced risk of levels of serum uric acid (sUA) in chronic gout patients(178).

In fact, epidemiological evidence(180) has shown an support of the question of lifestyle and diet involved in significant role in gout and serum uric acid level which had been raised 2500 years ago, particular over intake of vitamin C(179).

A pilot randomized controlled trial involved patients with gout and an SU level >0.36 mmoles/liter (6 mg/dl), researchers at the University of Otago suggested that modest dosage of vitamin C (500 mg/day) for 8 weeks had no clinically significant urate-lowering effects in patients with gout of which differ from the findings in healthy control subjects with hyperuricemia(181) and contradicted to the study conducted by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (vitamin C supplementation significantly lowered SUA, in reduced hyperuricemia or prevent incident and recurrent gout)(182).

Most Common Disease of50plus: The Clinical trials and Studies of Musculo-Skeletal disorders(MSDs)- Gout - The Phytochemicals

The Phytochemicals to prevent Gout

1. Quercetin and Rutin
Quercetin is a plant pigments belongings to the group of flavonoids and its conjugate rutin is a quercetin-3-O-rutinoside and sophorin, according to Dr. Zhu JX and research team at the School of Life Sciences, Nanjing University expressed inhibition of enzyme activities in mouse liver in relation to their absorption and metabolism, and their potential application to treat gout and hyperuricemia(161). Dr. Shi Y and Dr. Williamson G said" quercetin treatment, plasma uric acid concentrations were significantly lowered by -26·5 µmol/l (95 % CI, -7·6, -45·5; P=0·008), without affecting fasting glucose, urinary excretion of uric acid or blood pressure" in a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial(162). The antioxidant also exerted a strong anti-inflammatory effect that may be useful for the treatment of acute gouty arthritis, TianJin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine(163)

2. Morin
Morin (3,5,7,2′,4′-pentahydroxyflavone), a phytochemical found in the twigs of Morus alba L. documented in traditional Chinese medicinal literature to treat conditions akin to gout, was demonstrated to exert potent inhibitory action on urate uptake in rat renal brush-border membrane vesicles(164). In the study of Ramulus Mori, the branch of Morus alba, is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions to treat gout and hyperuricemia, researchers at the Nanjing University suggested that the effectiveness of the herbal medicine in treating gout, probably due to the presence of antioxidants, including morin(165).
According to the Nanchang University, luteolin exhibited a stronger synergistic effect with kaempferol than did morin at the lower concentration(166).

3. Other phytochemicals
13 flavonoids including myricetin, kaempferol, icariin, apigenin, luteolin, baicalin, silibinin, naringenin, formonoetin, genistein, puerarin, daidzin and naringin dihydrochalcone selected to investigate for their hypouricemic action in mice, also significantly reduced liver uric acid level in hyperuricemic animals(167).

3.1. Myricetin
Myricetin is one of the flavonoid class of polyphenolic compounds, found abundantly in fruits and vegetables, including berries.
According to Dr. Li Y and colleagues, Myricetin and luteolin expressed binding to the xanthine oxidase and cyclooxygenase-2 in attenuate the complex pathogenesis of gout, a metabolic disease(168). The Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Paramedical Sciences study also exhibited the protective effect of asepigallocatechin, acacatechin, myricetin, naringenin, daidzein and glycitein in reduced the expression of in gout patients(169).

In support of the effectiveness of flavonoids for treatment of gout, Universidad Nacional de Asunción insisted that quercitrin, quercetin, myricitrin and myricetin strongly displayed the xanthine oxidase inhibitory action against the over expression of gout(170).

3.2 Kaempferol

Kaempferol is one of the flavonoid class of polyphenolic compounds, found abundantly in fruits and vegetable with formula C15H10O6. According to the Nanchang University, the phytochemical catalyze xanthine to generate uric acid and cause hyperuricemia and gout, through it direct interference of site of Xanthine oxidase (XO), a key enzyme in purine catabolism(171).

Dr. Ahmad NS and colleagues at the National University of Sciences and Technology suggested that kaempferol-3-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside isolated from Pistacia integerrima leaves, exhibited dose dependent UA lowering effect in hyperuricemic mice(172).

3.3 Icariin
Icariin, a flavonol glycoside, type of flavonoid is a 8-prenyl derivative of kaempferol 3,7-O-diglucoside. According to the Nanjing University, icariin exhibited anti hyperuricemic and over expression of gout effects through inhibition on the liver xanthine oxidase (XOD) activities(167).

3.4. Apigenin
Apigenin, a natural product belonging to the flavone class, remarkedly lowered serum uric acid levels in potassium oxonate induced hyperuricemic mouse, according to the study by the Beijing Institute of Pharmacology & Toxicology(173). Apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, derivative of apigenin isolated from Olea europaea leaf (Ph.Eur.) extract, exhibited strongly the anti-gout property through expression of inhibitory effects on xanthine oxidase (XO)(174).

3.5. Luteolin
According to Dr. Li Y and colleagues, Myricetin and luteolin expressed binding to the xanthine oxidase and cyclooxygenase-2 in attenuate the complex pathogenesis of gout, a metabolic disease(168).

Most Common Disease of50plus: The Clinical trials and Studies of Musculo-Skeletal disorders(MSDs) - Gout - The Diet

The diet

Dietary consumption and life style plays an important role in association to risk and attenuated risk and progression of gout(208)..
1. Green tea
Green tea containing more amount of antioxidants than any drinks or food with the same volume, is the leaves of Camellia sinensis, undergone minimal oxidation during processing, originated from China. Regular intake of green tea has shown to reduced levels of uric acid by epidemiological and research studies and literature(210)

Recent study suggested that green tea exhibited anti SUA level and induced decreases uric acid clearance in a study comprised 1-week control, 2-week interventional, and 1-week follow-up periods conducted by the Chiang Mai University(209).

2. Coffee

Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans from the Coffee plant. The third national health and nutrition examination survey. using data from 14,758 participants ages >/=20 years in (1988-1994) support the effectiveness of drinking coffee >/=6 cups daily in ameliorated risk of gout in comparison to green tea. The study also said, "The inverse association with coffee appears to be via components of coffee other than caffeine"(211).

According to a system review by the joint study led by the Ajou University School of Medicine, moderate coffee intake might be advocated for primary prevention of hyperuricemia and gout in both genders(212).

Dr. Pham NM and colleagues at the Kyushu University said, " There were inverse associations of coffee consumption with serum UA concentrations and hyperuricemia in men regardless of adjustment for covariates. Women showed a statistically significant, but weaker, inverse association betweencoffee and serum UA levels after allowance for the confounding factors"(213).

3. Yogurt

Yogurt, a product of dairy used widely in Western world as a healthy foods for enhancing the digestive system is a dairy product made from milk. According to Dr. Towiwat and , Li ZG in the review of dietary effect of yogurt insisted that yogurt expressed anti uric acid and reduced risk of gout in regular consumption(214).

Dr Schlesinger said, " Non-fat milk and low-fat yogurt have a variety of health benefits and dairy products may have clinically meaningful antihyperuricaemic effects"(215) and "Dairy consumption was inversely associated with the serum uric acid level." Harvard Medical School, showed(216).

4. Milk

The diary product produced from cow drunk by millions of the world population may also have a positive effect on gout(216). According to the 3-month randomised double-blind controlled trial of milk products for prevention of gout flares, consumption of SMP/GMP/G600 daily over the 3-month period, showed greater improvements in pain and fractional excretion of uric acid, particular in tender joint count(217).

Most Common Disease of50plus: The Clinical trials and Studies of Musculo-Skeletal disorders(MSDs)- Gout - The Top immune enhancers - Vitamin B6

The Top immune enhancers

Enhancing immunity has shown to reduced risk of inflammatory diseases(218). The University of Calgary study insisted "Uric acid crystals [monosodium urate (MSU)] have emerged as an important factor for both gouty arthritis and immune regulation. This simple crystalline structure appears to activate innate host defense mechanisms in multiple ways and triggers robust inflammation and immune activation"(219)

5. Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is water soluble and a member of vitamin B complex, played an important role in amino acids metabolism for to maintaining the proper function in our body. Vitamin B6 deficiency may be associated to risk of hyperglycaemia and hyperuricaemia(231). In deed, according to the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, consumption of Cereals, vegetables, legumes and fruit, together with milk and eggs, constituted the most important ingredients of the diet in a closed community showed to reduced risk of deficiencies of iron, magnesium, zinc, vitamin B(6) and vitamin D in induction of hyperuricaemia, the main cause of gout(232).

Most Common Disease of50plus: The Clinical trials and Studies of Musculo-Skeletal disorders(MSDs)- Gout - The Free radical scavengers Vitamin A

The Antioxidants: The Free radical scavengers

Dr. Choi HK in the study of dietary risk factors for rheumatic diseases said, "Because diet is an unavoidable universal exposure for people, even a small effect that can be achieved by dietary manipulation may produce a large impact on the population's health" and "A recent prospective study investigated several purported dietary factors for gout and confirmed some of the long-standing suspicions (red meats, seafood, beer, and liquor), exonerated others (total protein, wine, and purine-rich vegetables), and also identified potentially new protective factors (dairy products)"(185).

1. The Free radical scavengers
1.1. Vitamin A
Vitamin A, a bi-polar molecule formed by bonds between carbon and hydrogen, is a fat soluble vitamin, which can not be stored in the live, converted from beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant.

According to the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada, Vancouver, the finding of vitamin A and its derivative in reduced risk and treatment has been controversial as vitamin A supplementation and food fortification may contribute to the high frequency of hyperuricemia in the US population, whereas β-carotene intake may be beneficial against hyperuricemia(175) by using data from 14,349 participants ages ≥20 years in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994),
Dr. Ford ES and Dr. Choi HK, in the differentaition of the concentrations of uric acid with concentrations of vitamin A and beta-carotene among adults in the United States, said, "Concentrations of uric acid were significantly and positively associated with concentrations of vitamin A and inversely with concentrations of beta-carotene"(176), of that support the evaluation of the Vancouver finding.

In fact, there are several lines of indirect evidence implicate vitamin A intoxication, associated mainly with impaired renal function involved the inhibition of enzyme xanthine oxidase in ameliorated the conversion of xanthine to uric acid and vitamin A intoxication(177).
