The term “herbal medicine” is used to identify medicinal herbs or some substances obtained from such herbs that help the body to fight different diseases, including infections, and for improving overall health. This research was aimed at assessing the quality of life of children in the acute phase of the respiratory infection, who got natural syrup for the control of cough. Patients and method: The prospective study was conducted at the institute for children. The study included 99 respondents who were given the unique natural syrup for children twice a day for 10 days. The research was done using a questionnaire filled by the parents of children with cough. Results: After the supplementation it is evident decrease in number of subjects with above various disturbances (cough disturbs night sleep and regular daily activities) and thus quality of life improvement. There is significant improvement of their respiratory secretion characteristics. 70% of subjects reported improvement of cough symptoms, 27% no change. Syrup taste children considered as tasty (63%). It was determined significant positive correlation between children’s and parents’/ family life quality during visit. Conclusion: It can be concluded that after the application of the syrup in conjunction with a therapeutic therapy, the overall quality of life is improved. *Correspondence to: Ivana Filipovic, University Children Hospital, Serbia, Tel: 38163512678, E-mail: drivanica@yahoo.com","PeriodicalId":23337,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Medicine","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81595371","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}

It was 3.1% in 2007 and has increased to 4.9% in 2017. It is expected to further raise to 10% in 2037. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted for all neurosurgery admission of aged 80 years and above in Queen Elizabeth Hospital from 1st January 2007 to 31st December 2016. Data was retrieved from Clinical Management System from Hospital Authority. Patient demographics, principal diagnosis, operation performed, perioperative complications, length of stay and mortality were collected and analyzed. A total of 2611 geriatric admissions were included, which accounted for 11.9% of all neurosurgery admission in that period. The majority (51%) of the elderly were admitted for head trauma. There were 397 elderly patients (15.2%) underwent neurosurgical operations. About 1/8 of elderly patients succumbed during the index hospital stay. When we dichotomized this 10-year period, our elderly population increased from 3.5% to 4.5%, however our geriatric admission percentage doubled from 7.8% to 15%. There was increased rate of performing neurosurgical operations on the elderly, from 9.3% rose up to 17.5% (p=0.129). The operation mortality rate dropped from 11.8% to 10.3% (p=0.157) and their average length of stay reduced from 38.9 days to 25 days (p=0.368). There was increasing demand for elderly neurosurgical care in the setting of growing geriatric population in Hong Kong. They were mostly trauma related. Nearly one-fifth of them required neurosurgical interventions. In recent years, we could achieve lower operation mortality rate and shorter length of stay. *Correspondence to: Robert SK Chan, Department of Neurosurgery, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong, E-mail: lwrobert@hotmail.com","PeriodicalId":23337,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Medicine","volume":"228 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75687493","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}

In the experiments on rats, quantitative PCR has shown that spleen cells express the genes of thermosensitive TRP ion channels (TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV3, TRPV4, TRPM8, and TRPA1). Experiments in vitro with the addition of an agonist of the TRPM8 ion channel menthol (10-5 M and 10-8 M) to the incubation medium indicate the presence of the TRPM8 on immune cells, and its stimulatory effect on the antigen binding, the number of rosette-forming cells doubles under the influence of menthol at concentration of 10-8 M. Stimulation of the TRPM8 ion channel localized in the skin nerve afferents by menthol (1% L-menthol) also has a stimulating effect on the antigen-binding function of spleen cells without interfering with the additional stimulation of this function when exposed to the TRPM8 agonist directly on spleen cells. The obtained results testify to the important role of the TRPM8 ion channel of different localization (in spleen cells and in the peripheral sensory neurons) in the regulation of the antigen binding function in the spleen. This indicates new moments of the neuro-immune interaction. *Correspondence to: Kozyreva TV, Institute of Physiology and Basic Medicine, Timakov str. 4, Novosibirsk, 630117, Russia, Novosibirsk State University, Novosibirsk, Pirogov str. 2, Novosibirsk, 630090, Russia, E-mail: Kozyreva@physiol.ru","PeriodicalId":23337,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Medicine","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84498664","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}

Hecht","doi":"10.15761/tim.1000208","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15761/tim.1000208","url":null,"abstract":"Wortmannin is an important regulator of Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI(3)K) signaling pathway. Changes in expression and activity of PI3-kinase and PDGF are major positive and negative regulators, respectively, of the PI3-kinase pathway, which regulates growth, survival, and proliferation. Here we have shown that cells dosed with platelet-derived-growth-factor (PDGF) and /or wortmannin, an inhibitor of PI3 kinase, proliferated at expected rates with respect to cells deprived of any additions. Cells with added platelet-derived-growth-factor (PDGF) multiplied substantially faster than naturally growing cells-some thirty percent. As anticipated, cells given only wortmannin divided over forty percent slower than cells without any dosage. Additionally, cells transfected with a luciferase reporter carrying a consensus sequences of the nuclear factor NF-κB binding site and treated with wortmannin inhibited the activation of luciferase in T98G cells. However, this inhibition was not affected by the treatment of PDFG. Our data indicate that Wortmannin and PDGF play different role in the control of expression of Phosphoinositide 3-kinase in glioma T98G cell line. *Correspondence to: Eduardo Parra, Laboratorio de Biomedicina Experimental, Escuela de Medicina, Universidad de Tarapacá.
