However, current therapeutic approaches are still hampered by various side effects. Due to its benefits and remarkable apoptotic impact on cancer cells, plant-derived flavonoids now garner interest as candidates for cancer therapy. Isoquercitrin, a flavonoid commonly found in fruit plants, especially mangoes, is notable due to its ability to inhibit cancer development through various mechanisms. This review aims to highlight the use of isoquercitrin extracted from mango peels in inhibiting CRC carcinogenesis. A literature search was done on Pubmed, Proquest, and Google Scholar using inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a narrative review was synthesised using the evidence gathered. Validity assessment was done through the the Office of Health Assessment and Translation (OHAT) and Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) critical assessment tools. Evidence suggested that isoquercitrin is promising as adjuvant therapy in CRC. It may inhibit overaccumulation of cytoplasmic β-catenin and its translocation into the nucleus, thus downregulating the expression of target proto-oncogenes leading to carcinogenesis of colon crypts. Isoquercitrin concentration in mango peel is abundant, 557.7 mg/kg in dried mango peel and 31.0 mg/kg in pure extracts. A pharmacology study approved that a daily intake of 5.4 mg/kgBW of isoquercitrin has an effective anticancer effect. This substance has good oral bioavailability and is well-tolerated but inhibits the metabolising enzymes CYP1A1 and CYP1B1. In conclusion, isoquercitrin is a potential adjuvant in inhibiting CRC growth with minimum costs and side effects.","PeriodicalId":22564,"journal":{"name":"The Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81980340","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}

Method: A systematic literature search was performed using particular keywords and medical subheadings in three journal databases: Cochrane, PubMed, and EBSCOhost. The results were screened and assessed using inclusion and exclusion criteria by three independent authors. The Randomized controlled trial (RCT) quality was evaluated with Jadad scale and the cohort studies quality was assessed with Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale.Results: Two RCTs and three cohort studies were eligible to fulfil the inclusion criteria, consisting of 620 total patients. Two RCTs showed no statistically significant improvement after CPAP treatment in NAFLD based on intrahepatic triglyceride (measured by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy), liver stiffness measurement, serum cytokeratin-18 fragment, and liver function blood test parameters. Meanwhile, 2 cohort studies in adults and 1 cohort study in children showed significant improvement in ALT, AST, and APRI. However, one cohort study showed no significant improvement in serum fibrosis markers and transient elastography measurement after CPAP treatment.Conclusion: CPAP might be beneficial in some patients with OSA to improve NAFLD, but further research that includes many subjects and longer duration of CPAP therapy is needed to confirm this result.","PeriodicalId":22564,"journal":{"name":"The Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90039253","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}

Endemic areas of E. granulosus are Russia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, China, and South America based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO). Incidence rates are 50 per 100,000 person-years. The life cycle of E. granulosus requires both an intermediate host and a definitive host. A human accidentally becomes an intermediate host. Upon infection, cyst formation mostly occurs in the liver (70%). At the first, the infection is usually asymptomatic. Diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis can be done by imaging techniques (ultrasound or CT/MRI), serum serologic testing for antibodies against hydatid antigens, and immunologic testing.

Since malignancy and cirrhosis account for about two-thirds of all the cases of CA in Western countries. The diagnosis of CA is based on the distinct characteristic of the ascitic fluid which includes a milky appearance and a triglyceride level of 200 mg/dL. The management consists of identifying and treating the underlying disease process, dietary modification, and diuretics. Treatment with nutritional optimization and management of the underlying etiology are the cornerstones of therapy.
