Abdominal obesity and dyslipidemia (increased triglycerides, high LDL-cholesterol and low HDL-cholesterol), and hypertension, as well as altered platelet function [3] are the major risk factors contributing to type 2 diabetes. The metabolic defects that underlie the development of type 2 diabetes may include islet β-cells dysfunction, hyperglucagonemia, elevated endogenous glucose production, development of peripheral insulin resistance, inflammation of adipose tissue, and dysregulation of adipokines production [4]. Chronic elevation of blood glucose which is a central factor in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [5] which in turn promote cellular damage and contribute to the development and progression of diabetic complications, such as cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, retinal blindness, neuropathy, and peripheral gangrene [6].

She had undergone peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion in September 2014 and started receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) twice daily 1 month after catheter insertion. She experienced intermittent abdominal pain 3 months after the insertion. No fever or dyspnea were noted with the pain. However, a decrease in ultrafiltration volume or rate after the PD session was noted by the patient herself. A review of her medical history did not reveal recent trauma to the chest or previous diaphragmatic surgery. However, shortness of breath was noted 1 day later; hence, she presented to the emergency department (ED). Tachycardia (104bpm) and elevated blood pressure (185/111mmHg) were noted in triage, and her respiratory rate was 22 breaths/min with 98% oxygen saturation. No chest pain or abnormal findings in the electrocardiogram were noted during her ED stay. Laboratory results did not reveal leukocytosis or acidosis. A chest X-ray revealed a massive right-sided pleural effusion (Figure 1). Pleurocentesis was suggested, but the patient refused. We analyzed the dialysate instead of a sample of the pleural effusion fluid; no evidence of infection was found. We arranged lung perfusion scintigraphy, 5 mCi of Technetium99m macro aggregated albumin (Tc-99m MAA) was injected into the PD fluids, and a rapid accumulation of radioactivity in the right hemithorax was observed in the images recorded at 30 min and 1 h after PD (Figure 2). Thus, peritoneo-pleural communication (right side) caused by diaphragmatic defect was diagnosed. PD was discontinued immediately and videoassisted thoracic surgery with thoracoscopic diaphragmatic fundoplication and pleurodesis was provided 2 days later. The patient was discharged uneventfully without the recurrence of pleural effusions during a 3-month follow-up.","PeriodicalId":15434,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Complementary Medicine & Alternative Healthcare","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83953473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The glycoside free (aglycone) portion of the saponin is termed as sapogenins. There are different sources of saponins and one of the chief source is fenugreek. Fenugreek contains approximately 4 to 8% saponins and about 1% alkaloids. The main steroidal sapogenins obtained from fenugreek seeds are diosgenin and yamogenin which are used as steroid intermediates in the pharmaceutical industry. The occurrence of diosgenin [(25R)-spirost-5-en-3β-ol] in the seeds of fenugreek has been well expected for over 50 years [15]. Other saponins and steroidal saponins present in fenugreek include fenugrin B, fenugreekine, trigofoenosides A-G, tigogenin, neotigogenin, gitogenin, neogitogenin, yuccagenin and saponaretin [16]. The plant alkaloid Trigonelline (0.3-0.4%) was first isolated from the seeds of fenugreek. it is a pyridine alkaloid, known for its hypoglycaemic and hypocholesterolemic activity. Trigonelline (N-methylnicotinic acid) is derived from nicotinic acid and the reaction is catalysed by S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)dependent nicotinate enzyme N-methyltransferase. Nicotinamide and nicotinic acid, the products of pyridine nucleotide cycle (PNC) give rise to trigonelline. The synthesis of trigonelline from nicotinamide mononucleotide (NaMN) is shown in the Figure 2. Other alkaloids present n fenugreek include Choline, Gentianine, Carpaine and Betain [16-18].","PeriodicalId":15434,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Complementary Medicine & Alternative Healthcare","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81058883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
