Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma https://greenmedinfo.com/taxonomy/term/3569/all en Mineral oil exposures also contribute to the incidence and mortality of lung, melanoma, and possibly esophageal and stomach cancers and of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in aerospace workers. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/mineral-oil-exposures-also-contribute-incidence-and-mortality-lung-melanoma-an BACKGROUND: A retrospective cohort study of workers employed at a California aerospace company between 1950 and 1993 was conducted; it examined cancer mortality from exposures to the rocket fuel hydrazine. METHODS: In this study, we employed a job exposure matrix (JEM) to assess exposures to other known or suspected carcinogens-including trichloroethylene (TCE), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), mineral oils, and benzene-on cancer mortality (1960-2001) and incidence (1988-2000) in 6,107 male workers. We derived rate- (hazard-) ratios estimates from Cox proportional hazard models with time-dependent exposures. RESULTS: High levels of TCE exposure were positively associated with cancer incidence of the bladder (rate ratio (RR): 1.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.93-4.22) and kidney (4.90; 1.23-19.6). High levels of exposure to mineral oils increased mortality and incidence of lung cancer (1.56; 1.02-2.39 and 1.99; 1.03-3.85), and incidence of melanoma (3.32; 1.20-9.24). Mineral oil exposures also contributed to incidence and mortality of esophageal and stomach cancers and of non-Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma and leukemia when adjusting for other chemical exposures. Lagging exposure measures by 20 years changed effect estimates only minimally. No associations were observed for benzene or PAH exposures in this cohort. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that these aerospace workers who were highly exposed to mineral oils experienced an increased risk of developing and/or dying from cancers of the lung, melanoma, and possibly from cancers of the esophagus and stomach and non-Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma and leukemia. These results and the increases we observed for TCE and kidney cancers are consistent with findings of previous studies. PMID:  Am J Ind Med. 2005 Oct;48(4):249-58.

Abstract:  BACKGROUND: The objective of the current study was to determine whether survivors of non-Hodgkin lymphoma are meeting select American Cancer Society (ACS) health-related guidelines for cancer survivors, as well as to examine relationships between these lifestyle factors and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and posttraumatic stress (PTS).METHODS: A cross-sectional sample of 566 survivors of NHL was identified from the tumor registries of 2 large academic medical centers. Respondents were surveyed regarding physical activity, fruit and vegetable intake, body weight, tobacco use, HRQoL using the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36, and PTS using the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder CheckList-Civilian form. Lifestyle cluster scores were generated based on whether individuals met health guidelines and multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate relationships between lifestyle behaviors and HRQoL scores and PTS scores.RESULTS: Approximately 11% of participants met all 4 ACS health recommendations. Meeting all 4 healthy recommendations was related to better physical and mental QoL (standardized regression coefficient [β], .57 [P https://greenmedinfo.com/article/results-study-found-many-non-hodgkin-lymphoma-survivors-are-not-meeting-health#comments Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Diet Human Study Wed, 10 Jun 2015 18:59:38 +0000 greenmedinfo 118213 at https://greenmedinfo.com A high frequency of celiac disease was found in patients with lymphoma in the southeast region of Turkey. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/high-frequency-celiac-disease-was-found-patients-lymphoma-southeast-region-tur PMID:  Turk J Gastroenterol. 2009 Jun ;20(2):87-92. PMID: 19530040 Abstract Title:  Screening for Celiac disease in Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Abstract:  BACKGROUND/AIMS: Celiac disease is an abnormal T cell-mediated immune response against dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. The aim of our prospective study was to evaluate the frequency of Celiac disease in patients with lymphoma and to determine the usefulness of the anti-gliadin and anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) for diagnosis of Celiac disease in this patient group.METHODS: We studied 119 patients with previously or newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma and 60 patients with Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma who presented at the hematology and medical oncology divisions of Dicle University Hospital in Turkey between December 2002 and January 2006. Serological screening for Celiac disease was performed in all patients by searching for serum anti-gliadin immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin G, and EMA immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin G.RESULTS: In the Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma group, anti-gliadin immunoglobulin A was detected in 9 (15%) patients (3 male, 6 female), and antigliadin immunoglobulin G was detected in 21 (35%) patients (15 male, 6 female). In the non-Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma group, antigliadin immunoglobulin A was detected in 6 (5%) patients (2 M male 4 female), and anti-gliadin immunoglobulin G was detected in 30 (25.2%) patients (18 male, 12 female). EMA immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin G were not detected in the Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma groups.CONCLUSIONS: Our report is the first to describe the frequency of Celiac disease in patients with lymphoma in the southeast region of Turkey. In our study, there was no evidence that Celiac disease is a pre-malignant condition for lymphoma. Serological screening for Celiac disease in lymphoma patients does not seem to be necessary. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/high-frequency-celiac-disease-was-found-patients-lymphoma-southeast-region-tur#comments Celiac Disease Lymphoma Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Gliadin Human Study Fri, 30 Mar 2012 21:20:44 +0000 greenmedinfo 73750 at https://greenmedinfo.com A nutrient mixture, containing ascorbic acid, lysine, proline, green tea extract exhibit significant antiproliferative effects against aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cell lines. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/nutrient-mixture-containing-ascorbic-acid-lysine-proline-green-tea-extract-exh PMID:  Exp Oncol. 2009 Sep;31(3):149-55. PMID: 19783966 Abstract Title:  Antineoplastic effects of nutrient mixture on raji and jurkat t cells: the two highly aggressive non Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma cell lines. Abstract:  Non-Hodgkin lymphomas incidence has increased more than 70% in last 25 years. Aggressiveness, higher relapse rate, and treatment complications pose significant barriers. Decreased food intake and side effects of treatments make cancer patients vulnerable to deficiency of essential nutrients such as vitamin C, lysine, and proline leading to the formation of weak extra cellular matrix susceptible to easy breakdown by matrix metalloproteinase enzymes. Inhibition of these enzymes has shown promise in stopping metastasis. Aim: In this study, we investigated the effects of a specific nutrient mixture, containing ascorbic acid, lysine, proline, green tea extract among others, in most aggressive forms of non-Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma - Burkitt&#039;s lymphoma, and T-cell lymphoma - using Raji and Jurkat cells respectively. Methods: Nutrient mixture (NM) doses of 0, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000 microg/ml, were used to study effects on cell proliferation, expression of matrix metalloproteinase, Matrigel invasion and apoptosis. Results: The results demonstrated that the dose response toxicity of the nutrient mixture on Raji cells gradually increased with increasing concentration. The nutrient mixture was non-toxic to Jurkat cells, however exhibited anti-proliferative properties at higher concentrations. Zymography demonstrated, NM had a significant inhibitory effect on matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression with total inhibition at 1000 microg/ml for Raji cells and at 500 microg/ml for Jurkat cells. The NM at 100 microg/ml completely inhibited Matrigel invasion for Raji cells, and at 1000 microg/ml for Jurkat cells. After the NM challenge virtually all Raji and Jurkat cells exposed to 1000 microg/ml were in late apoptosis. Conclusion: Considering the lack of treatment options and continually increasing incidence, NM could be further explored for its therapeutic potential in Burkitt&#039;s lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/nutrient-mixture-containing-ascorbic-acid-lysine-proline-green-tea-extract-exh#comments Burkitt Lymphoma Green Tea Lymphoma Lymphoma: T-cell Lysine Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Proline Proprietary Nutrient Formulas Vitamin C Antiproliferative In Vitro Study Fri, 01 Jan 2010 12:35:20 +0000 greenmedinfo 48511 at https://greenmedinfo.com A report of 2 cases of spontaneous tumor regression. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/report-2-cases-spontaneous-tumor-regression PMID:  Med Clin (Barc). 1990 Sep 15 ;95(8):306-8. PMID: 2283912 Abstract Title:  [Spontaneous tumor regression. Report of 2 cases]. Abstract:  Two cases of spontaneous tumor regression (STR) occurring in a patient with non Hodgkin lymphoma and in another patient with squamous carcinoma of the lung are presented. Both cases fulfill the criteria of STR defined by Everson and Cole. Recent results obtained in basic and clinical studies have indicated that immunological mechanisms could play an important role in STR. The mediator effects more frequently referred are: 1) generation of antineoplastic cytotoxic cells; 2) production of immunoregulatory cytokines by lymphocytes and monocytes, and 3) possible cross reaction between tumor and bacterial antigens. These mechanisms of action are discussed in relation to the presented cases. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/report-2-cases-spontaneous-tumor-regression" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/report-2-cases-spontaneous-tumor-regression#comments Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Squamous cell carcinoma Spontaneous Tumor Regression Human: Case Report Sat, 23 Jan 2021 03:20:19 +0000 greenmedinfo 233366 at https://greenmedinfo.com Aspartame safety as a food sweetener and related health hazards. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/aspartame-safety-food-sweetener-and-related-health-hazards PMID:  Nutrients. 2023 Aug 18 ;15(16). Epub 2023 Aug 18. PMID: 37630817 Abstract Title:  Aspartame Safety as a Food Sweetener and Related Health Hazards. Abstract:  Aspartame is the methyl-ester of the aspartate-phenylalanine dipeptide. Over time, it has become a very popular artificial sweetener. However, since its approval by the main food safety agencies, several concerns have been raised related to neuropsychiatric effects and neurotoxicity due to its ability to activate glutamate receptors, as well as carcinogenic risks due to the increased production of reactive oxygen species. Within this review, we critically evaluate reports concerning the safety of aspartame. Some studies evidenced subtle mood and behavioral changes upon daily high-dose intake below the admitted limit. Epidemiology studies also evidenced associations between daily aspartame intake and a higher predisposition for malignant diseases, like non-Hodgkin lymphomas and multiple myelomas, particularly in males, but an association by chance still could not be excluded. While the debate over the carcinogenic risk of aspartame is ongoing, it is clear that its use may pose some dangers in peculiar cases, such as patients with seizures or other neurological diseases; it should be totally forbidden for patients with phenylketonuria, and reduced doses or complete avoidance are advisable during pregnancy. It would be also highly desirable for every product containing aspartame to clearly indicate on the label the exact amount of the substance and some risk warnings. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/aspartame-safety-food-sweetener-and-related-health-hazards" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/aspartame-safety-food-sweetener-and-related-health-hazards#comments Multiple Myeloma Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Aspartame Review Mon, 18 Sep 2023 01:17:18 +0000 greenmedinfo 280841 at https://greenmedinfo.com Association between SV40 and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/association-between-sv40-and-non-hodgkins-lymphoma PMID:  Leuk Lymphoma. 2003 ;44 Suppl 3:S33-9. PMID: 15202523 Abstract Title:  Association between SV40 and non-Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma. Abstract:  Millions of people worldwide were inadvertently exposed to live simian virus 40 (SV40) between 1955 and 1963 through immunization with SV40-contaminated polio vaccines. Although the prevalence of SV40 infections in humans is not known, numerous studies suggest that SV40 is a pathogen resident in the human population today. SV40 is a potent DNA tumor virus that is known to induce primary brain cancers, bone cancers, mesotheliomas, and lymphomas in laboratory animals. SV40 oncogenesis is mediated by the viral large tumor antigen (T-ag), which inactivates the tumor suppressor proteins p53 and pRb. During the last decade, independent studies using different molecular biology techniques have shown the presence of SV40 DNA, T-ag, or other viral markers in primary human brain and bone cancers and malignant mesotheliomas. Evidence suggests that there may be geographic differences in the frequency of these virus-positive tumors. Recent large independent controlled studies have shown that SV40 T-ag DNA is significantly associated with human non-Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma (NHL). In our study, we analyzed systemic NHL from 76 HIV-1-positive and 78 HIV-1-negative patients, and nonmalignant lymphoid samples from 79 HIV-1-positive and 107 HIV-1-negative patients without tumors; 54 colon and breast carcinoma samples served as cancer controls. We used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by Southern blot hybridization and DNA sequence analysis to detect DNAs of polyomaviruses and herpesviruses. SV40-specific DNA sequences were detected in 64 (42%) of 154 NHL, none of 186 nonmalignant lymphoid samples, and none of 54 control cancers. For NHL from HIV-1-positive patients, 33% contained SV40 DNA and 39% Epstein Barr virus (EBV) DNA, whereas NHLs from HIV-1-negative patients were 50% positive for SV40 and 15% positive for EBV. Few tumors were positive for both SV40 and EBV. Human herpesvirus type 8 was not detected. SV40 sequences were found most frequently in diffuse large B cell and follicular-type lymphomas. We conclude that SV40 is significantly associated with some types of NHL and that lymphomas should be added to the types of human cancers associated with SV40. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/association-between-sv40-and-non-hodgkins-lymphoma" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/association-between-sv40-and-non-hodgkins-lymphoma#comments Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Simian virus 40 (SV40) Review Tue, 31 Jul 2018 17:17:08 +0000 greenmedinfo 168208 at https://greenmedinfo.com Bayer Needs More Than an Aspirin to Cure its Monsanto-Sized Headache https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/bayer-needs-more-aspirin-cure-its-monsanto-sized-headache <p class="rtecenter"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/blank.justin/images/BayerNeedsMoreThananAspirin.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 315px;" /></span></span></p><p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/bayer-needs-more-aspirin-cure-its-monsanto-sized-headache" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/bayer-needs-more-aspirin-cure-its-monsanto-sized-headache#comments ADHD Autism Spectrum Disorders Cancers: All Depression Iron Magnesium Neurologic Disorders Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Obesity Parkinson's Disease Selenium Zinc Chemical and Drug Toxicity Glyphosate Health Guide: Chemical Exposures Health Guide: Corruption in Science Herbicide Roundup corruption glyphosate monsanto Tue, 11 Sep 2018 10:12:52 +0000 RFK 170086 at https://greenmedinfo.com BREAKING: Roundup "Weed Killer" Contributed to CA Man's Cancer; 100's of Billions in Future Liability for Monsanto-Bayer https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/breaking-roundup-weed-killer-contributed-ca-mans-cancer-100s-billions-future-liab <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2019<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter" dir="ltr"><img alt="" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/Sayer Ji/images/monsanto_bayer_750-644x363.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 338px;" /></p> <p dir="ltr"><em><span style="font-size:24px;"><strong>In a poetic twist of fate, the very same day that the American Health Association <a href="http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/doctors-reverse-decades-old-aspirin-recommendation-deadly-risks-outweigh-benefits">reversed decades old guidelines</a> on using aspirin to promote heart health and prevent strokes, advising against its daily, low-dose use in healthy adults, Bayer's Monsanto buyout headache transmogrified into a debilitating migraine...</strong></span></em></p> <p dir="ltr">A federal jury in San Francisco has found that Monsanto’s weed-killer glyphosate was “a substantial factor” in causing a man’s cancer, delivering a major new blow to the agrochemical giant now owned by Bayer who acquired it last year.</p><p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/breaking-roundup-weed-killer-contributed-ca-mans-cancer-100s-billions-future-liab" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/breaking-roundup-weed-killer-contributed-ca-mans-cancer-100s-billions-future-liab#comments Lymphoma Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Carcinogenic Glyphosate Glyphosate formulations Roundup (herbicide) Wed, 20 Mar 2019 01:10:33 +0000 Sayer Ji 181628 at https://greenmedinfo.com Breast Implant Industry Takes No Prisoners https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/breast-implant-industry-takes-no-prisoners <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="Breast Implant Industry Takes No Prisoners" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/lrossi/images/breast_implant_cancer_greenmedinfo.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 490px;" title="Breast Implant Industry Takes No Prisoners" /></p><p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/breast-implant-industry-takes-no-prisoners" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/breast-implant-industry-takes-no-prisoners#comments Breast Cancer Lymphoma Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Breast Implants Carcinogenic Health Guide: Breast Cancer Women's Health breast augmentation Breast Cancer Breast Implant Industry Takes No Prisoners non-hodgkin's lymphoma Fri, 07 Apr 2017 15:07:55 +0000 drfreiman@gmail.com 145819 at https://greenmedinfo.com Bromelain plus peroxidase reduces non-Hodgkin lymphoma progression https://greenmedinfo.com/article/bromelain-plus-peroxidase-reduces-non-hodgkin-lymphoma-progression PMID:  Nutr Cancer. 2019 Oct 8:1-11.

PMID: 31591915 Abstract Title:  Bromelain plus peroxidase reduces non-Hodgkin lymphoma progression invia up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes and modulating apoptotic protein expression. Abstract:  Pineapple ((L.) Merr.) is a good source of bromelain (B) and also contain peroxidase. The objective of this study is isoaltion of bromelain plus peroxidase (BP) from the pineapple fruit to evaluate the anticancer activity of BP from the pineapple fruit of Tripura, compared to commercial bromelain against ascitic Dalton&#039;s lymphoma cells (DLA) in mice.By acetone precipitation BP was isolated from the pineapple. Animals bearing DLA, receive B and BP orally for 15 alternative days. Apoptotic proteins are assayed using western blot.BP treated mice showed recover of hemoglobin and WBC count compared to control lymphoma animal. The animal showed significant reduction of body weight due to reduced tunor load and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, elevated levels of vitamin C and vitamin E and other antioxidants in blood after BP treatment. Histology of liver and kidney also shows restored architecture in BP treated animal compared to only B treated group. BP treatment upregulates the cytochrome C, BAD, and BAX protein and downregulates the Bcl-2 and NF-kβ occuring upon BP treatment in the DLA cells collected from lymphoma animal. This induce the apoptosis of DLA cells in lymphoma animal and reduce the tumor load.The present findings suggest that BP from pineapple improves the survival of the induced lymphoma animal compared to only B which may be used as therapeutic target. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/bromelain-plus-peroxidase-reduces-non-hodgkin-lymphoma-progression" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/bromelain-plus-peroxidase-reduces-non-hodgkin-lymphoma-progression#comments Bromelain Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Pineapple Antiproliferative Apoptotic Animal Study In Vitro Study Mon, 18 Nov 2019 03:00:35 +0000 greenmedinfo 202064 at https://greenmedinfo.com Combined fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with decreased non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/combined-fruit-and-vegetable-consumption-was-associated-decreased-non-hodgkin- n/a PMID:  Leuk Lymphoma. 2018 Feb ;59(2):434-447.

Abstract:  We examined the association between fruit/vegetable consumption and the risk of hematological malignancies in cohort studies (end of search: August 31, 2016). Total fruit consumption was not associated with the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (RR = 1.03, 95% CI: 0.92-1.16, I = 12.1%, n = 7), acute myeloid leukemia (RR = 1.23, 95% CI: 0.94-1.61, I = 0%, n = 3), multiple myeloma (MM; RR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.72-1.55, I = 60.0%, n = 4), and Hodgkin lymphoma. However, citrus fruit consumption was associated with reduced NHL risk (RR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.73-1.00, p = .044, I = 0%, n = 6). Vegetable intake was marginally associated with reduced NHL risk (RR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.79-1.00, p = .056, I = 16.2%, n = 7), but not with acute myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, and Hodgkin lymphoma risk. Nevertheless, NHL risk was inversely associated with cruciferous vegetable consumption (RR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.71-1.00, p = .047, I = 0%, n = 3). Notably, combined fruit/vegetable consumption was associated with decreased NHL risk (RR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.65-0.96, I = 11.2%, n = 3). This meta-analysis reveals possible protective effects; however, confounding and reporting bias could have affected the results. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/combined-fruit-and-vegetable-consumption-was-associated-decreased-non-hodgkin-#comments Cruciferous Vegetables Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Meta Analysis Risk Reduction Review Thu, 19 Apr 2018 22:16:19 +0000 greenmedinfo 163002 at https://greenmedinfo.com Consumption of red and processed meat may be related to non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/consumption-red-and-processed-meat-may-be-related-non-hodgkin-lymphoma-risk PMID:  Medicine (Baltimore). 2015 Nov ;94(45):e1729. PMID: 26559248 Abstract Title:  Red and Processed Meat Consumption Increases Risk for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: A PRISMA-Compliant Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies. Abstract:  The association between consumption of red and processed meat and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) remains unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of the published observational studies to explore this relationship.We searched databases in MEDLINE and EMBASE to identify observational studies which evaluated the association between consumption of red and processed meat and risk of NHL. Quality of included studies was evaluated using Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS). Random-effects models were used to calculate summary relative risk (SRR) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI).We identified a total of 16 case-control and 4 prospective cohort studies, including 15,189 subjects with NHL. The SRR of NHL comparing the highest and lowest categories were 1.32 (95% CI: 1.12-1.55) for red meat and 1.17 (95% CI: 1.07-1.29) for processed meat intake. Stratified analysis indicated that a statistically significant risk association between consumption of red and processed meat and NHL risk was observed in case-control studies, but not in cohort studies. The SRR was 1.11 (95% CI: 1.04-1.18) for per 100 g/day increment in red meat intake and 1.28 (95% CI: 1.08-1.53) for per 50 g/day increment in processed meat intake. There was evidence of a nonlinear association for intake of processed meat, but not for intake of red meat.Findings from our meta-analysis indicate that consumption of red and processed meat may be related to NHL risk. More prospective epidemiological studies that control for important confounders and focus on the NHL risk related with different levels of meat consumption are required to clarify this association. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/consumption-red-and-processed-meat-may-be-related-non-hodgkin-lymphoma-risk#comments Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Meat Meta Analysis Risk Factors Tue, 30 Aug 2016 17:42:34 +0000 greenmedinfo 134341 at https://greenmedinfo.com Curcumin has an anticancer effect of on human B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/curcumin-has-anticancer-effect-human-b-cell-non-hodgkins-lymphoma PMID:  Thromb Res. 2009 Mar;123(5):740-4.

Abstract:  To explore the anticancer effect of curcumin on human B cell non-Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma and compare its effects on human B cell non-Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma cells and normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (NPBMNCs). MTT assay was used to study the effect of curcumin on the growth of Raji cells and NPBMNCs. The effect of curcumin on the apoptosis of Raji cells and NPBMNC were studied by flow cytometry and TDT-mediated dUTP nick and labeling (TUNEL). The effect of curcumin on the cell cycle of Raji cells were examined by propidium iodide staining flow cytometry. The results showed that curcumin strongly inhibited proliferation of Raji cells, 24 h IC50 for Raji cells was 22.8 +/- 1.82 micromol/L and curcumin induced Raji cell apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Raji cells treated with curcumin showed G0/G1 or G2/M phase increase and S phase decrease. However, curcumin did not demonstrate apparent proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in NPBMNCs. It was concluded that curcumin is able to inhibit the proliferation of Raji cells by regulating the cell cycle and inducing the cell apoptosis. Morever, curcumin has low toxicity on NPBMNCs but can selectively induce apoptosis in Raji cells. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/curcumin-has-anticancer-effect-human-b-cell-non-hodgkins-lymphoma#comments Curcumin Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Antiproliferative Apoptotic Cell cycle arrest In Vitro Study Sat, 19 Feb 2011 00:40:42 +0000 greenmedinfo 61806 at https://greenmedinfo.com Effect of a 16-session qigong program in non-hodgkin lymphoma survivors. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/effect-16-session-qigong-program-non-hodgkin-lymphoma-survivors PMID:  J Clin Med. 2022 Jun 14 ;11(12). Epub 2022 Jun 14. PMID: 35743490 Abstract Title:  Effect of a 16-Session Qigong Program in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Survivors: A Randomized Clinical Trial. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: The treatment associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients may cause adverse effects on their physical and psychological condition. The aim of this study is to detect the response to an eight-week, 16-session, 60-min presential Qigong program in anxiety, depression and vagal nerve activity alongside a control group.METHODS: A randomized controlled clinical trial was managed. Randomization was carried out by generating a numerical sequence of three cycles through the software EPIDAT 4.1. Numbers were placed in sealed opaque envelopes for assignment to the different groups.RESULTS: Anxiety levels were substantially decreased in the experimental group, with a large effect size (F = 30.38,&lt; 0.00). Depression levels had an improvement in the experimental group in contrast to the control group, reaching statistical significance (F = 19.19,&lt; 0.00). Heart Rate Variability unveiled significant results in terms of between-group differences, with a large effect size in the HRV Index (F = 15.80,&lt; 0.00), SDNN (F = 8.82,&lt; 0.00), and RMSSD (F = 6.72,&lt; 0.01) in the time domain, and a medium effect size in the HF (F = 9.78,&lt; 0.003), LF (F = 9.78,&lt; 0.00), and LF/HF Ratio (F = 18.44,&lt; 0.00) in the frequency domain, which were all bettered in the experimental group, after the Qigong program.CONCLUSIONS: Qigong therapy can be an effective therapeutic activity in consonance with traditional medicine to improve psychological health and autonomic nervous system balance in non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivors. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/effect-16-session-qigong-program-non-hodgkin-lymphoma-survivors" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/effect-16-session-qigong-program-non-hodgkin-lymphoma-survivors#comments Anxiety Depression Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Anti-Anxiety Agents Antidepressive Agents Qigong Human Study Mon, 12 Dec 2022 03:03:48 +0000 greenmedinfo 267786 at https://greenmedinfo.com
