In conclusion, physicians must be aware of the potential anticoagulant effects of these supplements. It is imperative to report dietary and herbal supplement usage to physicians and is best to discontinue nonessential supplement use 2 weeks prior to surgery.PMID:36304597 | PMC:PMC9586694 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2022.2121575 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 6463: Application of HPLC Fingerprint Combined with Chemical Pattern Recognition and Multi-Component Determination in Quality Evaluation of Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench
In this study, the chemical fingerprints of 15 common peaks were obtained using the similarity evaluation system of the chromatographic fingerprints of traditional Chinese medicine (2012A Edition). Among the 15 components, three phenolic acids (caftaric acid, chlorogenic acid and cichoric acid) were identified and determined. The similarity of fingerprints of 16 batches of Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench samples ranged from 0.905 to 0.998. The similarity between fingerprints of five batches of commercially available Echinacea pupurea (L.) Moench and the standard fingerprint ”R” ranged from 0.980 ...

Identification of cross-talk pathways and ferroptosis-related genes in periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus by bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation
ConclusionsThis study contributes to a deeper understanding of the common pathogenesis of periodontitis and T2DM and provides new insights into the role of ferroptosis in this comorbidity. In addition, two drugs with potential clinical application value were identified. The potential utility of these drugs requires further experimental investigation. (Source: Frontiers in Immunology)

Impact of drinking water supplementation of a blend of peppermint, coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), thyme, propolis, and prebiotic on performance, serum constituents, and immunocompetence of broiler chickens
AbstractEssential oils, extracts, their components, and other non-antibiotic beneficial additives are becoming increasingly popular as naturally occurring immunomodulatory agents. A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of a blend (hereafter refers to as ImmunoMax (IMX)) of peppermint, coneflower, thyme, propolis, and prebiotic on performance, immune response, hematological indices, and serum biochemistry of broiler chickens. A total of 300  day-old broiler male chicks were randomly assigned to 4 treatments: control (A) (not treated), 0.25 mL/L (B), 0.5 mL/L (C), and 1 mL/L (D) supplementing drinking water with I...

Complementary/Integrative Medicine for Pediatric Otitis Media
Complementary/integrative medicine can be used in treating otitis media, especially during the watchful waiting phase. Elimination of risk factors can be important. Products such as echinacea, xylitol, and probiotics may help in prevention. Herbal eardrop formulations can relieve symptoms in some patients. Other modalities such as homeopathy can lead to faster relief of symptoms in combination with conventional therapy. Chinese, Japanese, and other forms of traditional medicine have varying formulations with unclear safety, but initial results are promising. Most studies are limited by methodological failures and small sam...

Phenylethanoid Glycosides of Cistanche Improve Learning and Memory Disorders in APP/PS1 Mice by Regulating Glial Cell Activation and Inhibiting TLR4/NF- κB Signaling Pathway
This study explored the mechanisms of PhGs, ECH, and ACT in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from the perspectives of glial cell activation, TLR4/NF- κB signaling pathway, and synaptic protein expression. We used APP/PS1 mice as AD models. After treatment with PhGs, ECH, and ACT, the learning and memory abilities of APP/PS1 mice were enhanced, and the pathological changes in brain tissue were alleviated. The expression of pro-inflammatory M1 mic roglia markers (CD11b, iNOS, and IL-1β) was decreased; the expression of M2 microglia markers (Arg-1 and TGF-β1) was increased, which promoted the transformation of mic...

Non-antibiotic Prophylaxis of Infections
Praxis (Bern 1994). 2022;111(8):463-468. doi: 10.1024/1661-8157/a003822.ABSTRACTNon-antibiotic Prophylaxis of Infections Abstract. The increasing resistance to antibiotics makes the search for non-antibiotic alternatives for the treatment and prevention of - above all - respiratory and urinary tract infections crucial. Potential non-antibiotic approaches include phytopharmaceuticals (Echinacea purpurea, Pelargonium sidoides, cranberry extract), zinc, immunostimulants (OM-85 BV, OM-89), and behavior modifications. Some of these approaches are promising options; however, a high level of evidence is required before specific r...
