Malaysian Health Minister has said that since the beginning of this year, Malaysia has reported 31,375 cases of dengue fever cases, including deaths of 100 people.
It is reported that since the beginning of this year, the number of cases have been reported and deaths have more than the number last year. In 2009, Malaysia reported a total annual 29,183 cases of dengue fever, which killed 67 people.
The ministry of health has drafted a report submitted to the Cabinet on the current dengue fever epidemic deterioration. As in the rainy season and the impact of global warming, neighboring countries such as Singapore and Thailand are also increasing the number of dengue infections.
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne acute contagious viral disease, typical symptoms include fever, headache and joint pain. Dengue fever is divided into general dengue and hemorrhagic dengue, the latter has a higher mortality rate.
United States Women Health magazine reported that the American public science center (CSPI) in accordance with the calories, vitamin K, lutein, vitamin C, potassium and fiber and other items to the rate of 85 vegetables nutrition, eventually reached the super-nutrition vegetables latest rankings. Here are the top ten vegetables.
Spinach: one cup of spinach, vitamin K and lutein content of more than DRI100%. It also contains vitamin A, manganese, folate, magnesium, calcium and iron, as well as flavonoids and carotenoids. How to eat: cooked spinach to eat more nutritious. Eat more casual, you can stir or soup.
Cabbage: one cup of cooked cabbage is a vitamin K content of Dietary Reference Intake (DRI, the U.S. Academy of Sciences raised the recommended daily intake) 10 times, vitamin K helps platelet aggregation. How to eat: Add lemon, garlic and cooked with a small amount of water.
Radish: 2 / 3 cup of radish the content of vitamin K and lutein to DRI100%. Vitamin C to reach 75% of DRI. How to eat: a simple way of eating is clean dipping sauce.
Lettuce: 1.5 cup of cooked lettuce with 100% vitamin A dietary reference intakes. Vitamin A in maintaining healthy teeth and skin are very important. How to eat: cut lettuce into thin strips, and mixed with chicken, made of pie-shaped, baked on the grill.
College of Life Sciences, University of Sydney researchers announced on the 20th, they found a new chlorophyll, which is expected in the field of bio-energy has a broad application prospects.
Researchers in Shark Bay, Western Australia a colony of cyanobacteria extract of this chlorophyll, chlorophyll will be named f. Tests show that chlorophyll f can absorption spectrum of maximum of 720 nm light participation in photosynthesis, the spectrum in the near infrared region than the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll d maximum length of 10 nm, than the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a maximum length of 40 nm.
Australian researchers believe the discovery of chlorophyll f will again rewrite the chlorophyll photosynthesis, some of the basic ideas involved.
The study published in the new U.S. Science magazine. The researchers said the chlorophyll f can absorb close to infrared light, which indicates that photosynthetic organisms can take advantage of the spectrum than previously thought much of the scientific community, the efficiency of photosynthesis is also far beyond the scientific community thought. Researchers believe that f is expected to chlorophyll in the plant biotechnology and bio-energy has been widely used.
A recent UK study says that those people who often eat green leafy vegetables in their daily diet suffering from type Ⅱ diabetes lower risk than others.
University of Leicester researchers in the new issue of British Medical Journal reported that they reviewed a number of related research, including about 220 thousand people diet and health data, analysis it found that those people who often eat in their daily diet green leafy vegetables eat spinach and other vegetables a day more than 120 grams of the people suffering from type Ⅱ diabetes risk than those who do not eat green leafy vegetables, 14% lower.
The researchers said this may be because a lot of green leafy vegetables contain antioxidants and magnesium, all of which help reduce the risk of suffering from diabetes. But researchers also said that no recommend for alone eat these substances, but they should be as an integral part of the food through a healthy diet to reduce that risk.
Xinxiang Medical College Cancer Research Center cancer research team, in the field of cancer research has made significant discoveries: found two at No. 10 and 20 of human chromosome esophageal cancer susceptibility gene PLCE1 and C20orf54. The study at high risk for the cancer early warning and control individual opens a new research direction, but also marked the esophageal cancer susceptibility gene residing in the international advanced level.
According to reports, internationally renowned academic Nature Genetics will be released on August 23 of this research.
Japan’s National Research Center of circulatory organ disease has issued a statement that the center researchers found that while artificial creation of blood vessels in animals if given blue light at the same time, easy to thickening of blood vessels.
The researchers used this method successfully in dog’s body creates artificial blood vessels and valves. The technology should be applied to treat the patient with severe heart disease with blood vessel becomes weak.
The researchers confirmed acceptance of irradiated blood vessels are rich in elastin. This shows that there is an animal seems to be light irradiation mechanism will produce elastin.
The Netherlans National Institute of Public Health and Environment and many medical and scientific research centers have jointly implemented a more than 10 years of research, covering 35,000 adults aged 20-70.
The results show that moderate drinkers suffering from type 2 diabetes were lower 40% than those people who not drink. However, the researchers pointed out that moderate drink wine on the preventive effect of diabetes need to meet two conditions:
First, must adhere to healthy lifestyle, including balanced diet, normal weight, moderate exercise, no smoking; Second, strict control the number of alcohol drinks, preferably low-alcohol, low degree sweetness grape wine, women most drink a glass of wine and men most drink two glasses of wine everyday.
Japanese and USA researchers published a paper in magazine online edition of Cell on Aug 6th said that they successfully cultivated cardiac myocytes by implanted specific three genes in fibroblast.
The researchers found that the heart in mouse embryos, there are three kinds of genes are essential for generating cardiac cells. Through the implanted these 3 genes in fibroblasts, can get driving heartbeat of myocardial cells.
The researchers pointed out that compared with use iPS cells cultivated cardiac myocytes, this method is more secure and simple.
In charge of the researcher said that will determine whether can use the same method to produce human cardiac cells in future. If possible, patients with myocardial infarction would not in need of open heart surgery, but only through the import of these genes , let fibroblasts to directly produce healthy myocardial cells.
Australian scientists found that human has 70% gene the same as sponge. This finding may be instead controversial animals experiment with sponge experiment in the future.
Taught at the University of Queensland, Bernard Degnan professor published a paper with the sponge-related on Nature journal this week, the content pointed that, according to the growth in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef sponge gene sequencing, this ancient marine life has 70% gene the same as human gene.
Although the proportion is far lower than the gorilla 84%, or 80% of chimpanzees, but the 70% same gene contain some diseases and cancer, it is expected to cancer treatment will bring about major breakthroughs leading to cancer therapy and stem cell research breakthroughs, but also to explore the possibility of replace animal experiment with sponge experiment.
Allergic rhinitis is allergic reaction occurs in the nasal mucosa, also the common manifestation of respiratory tract respiratory allergy, sometimes exist with bronchial asthma.
Incidence of the disease in the past 20 years have significant increase, particularly in developed countries. Mainly young in age of onset but also more common in pediatric patients. Although the incidence rate although no significant differences in gender, but female hormones can aggravate allergy.
Drug therapy:
1. Antiviral therapy: Patients should early use antiviral drugs, can try out oseltamivir, oseltamivir is a neuraminidase inhibitor on the swine influenza virus may exist inhibited effect, dose of 75mg / d, 5 days course of treatment, are not recommended for children. The virus separated from the U.S. recent swine influenza virus infestor is sensitive to oseltamivir and zanamivir, is drug resistance to amantadine and rimantadine.
2. Antibiotics: If occur to bacterial infection can use antibiotics.
A study team formed by United States and Japan scientists reported in Aug 5 that they found the reason of H1N1 influenza A virus can adapt to the human body and efficient replication.
In general, the influenza virus want to achieve from the host cell into mammals including human and efficient replication, there are need two amino acids on PB2 protein specific location – lysine and asparagine. All the time, research staff had not been found this particular two amino acids on influenza A virus PB2 protein specific location, was mystified why H1N1 influenza A virus spread among humans.
The team found that influenza A virus lysine exist in another special place of PB2 protein. Influenza A virus of this special structure makes it well adapted to human cells, which can replicate in the body effectively.
The researchers said the findings to predict the future influenza pandemic provide another available genetic marker. The study published in the latest issue of United States Public Library of Science Pathogens magazine.
U.S. researchers recently found that sleep time is too short or too long will increase the chances of suffering from cardiovascular disease.
The study was completed by West Virginia University School of Medicine researchers, involved over 30,000 adults. Study found that sleep per day (including noon break) 5 hours or less than 5 hours more easy suffer from cardiovascular disease than those people who sleep 7 hours per day, the prevalence of the former than the latter is likely more than twice as high. In addition, 9 hours of sleep a day or more than nine hours of people likely to have higher risk of suffer from cardiovascular disease than those who slept 7 hours a day.
Researchers in the latest issue of the U.S. academic journal Sleep published the report said, even though consider the factors can lead to cardiovascular disease such as age, gender, race, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index, physical exercise, and whether high-risk blood pressure, depression and so on, sleep time still be associated with cardiovascular disease.
The researchers said the results show that maintaining a normal sleep time is very important to human health, even though the body is healthy, unnormal sleep time will improve the chances of suffering from cardiovascular disease.
American Association of Sleep Medicine recommends that adults ideal sleep time is 7-8 hours each day.
Many studies have pointed out that men should not drink wine to improve sexual function, otherwise it will affect the erection and adhere time. However, this method is very useful for woman. University of Florence, Italy had a survey on 800 women aged 18-85 found that drinking one or two glasses of red wine every day, her libido more prosperous. Moreover, drink one glass of red wine before sex life, women can focus on and clearly enhance their sexual experience.
Researchers refer to the female sexual function index score sheet, including sexual desire and sexual satisfaction and so on. The results showed that the highest score of 36 points in the case, women often drink red wine can make 27.3 points, who occasionally drink a bit can make score of 25.9, those who do not drink have the score of 24.4. And this method is appropriate for middle-aged women.
Women always look forward to sleeping in bachelors beware as long as possible, which requires more efforts. For example, listening to sweet music is one of good methods. McGill University research shows that the female brain is particularly sensitive response to music. To form ambiguous, sultry atmosphere that allows women to listen to these voices low, slow rhythm of the music.
With the increases of ages, the human brain function more and more outstanding, the brain can be achieved the best in the 46-60 age.
Through Seattle Longitudinal research in 1956 track investigation to 6,000 people, tested their brain once every 7 years. As a whole, a 45-year-old people’s test result is better than the people with 20 years of age. In addition to calculate ability and speed of response is less than young, the elderly’s abilities of spatial orientation, language memory, problem solving were better than younger. Studies have shown that 50-year-old brain myelin (the important brain substance) content will reach the top.
Scientists also found that the older man will gradually think with left and right brain, so their decision more rational, not impulse. This is their great wisdom formed day after day.
Many women like to make the room spotless, but there are may exist some side effects when clean the room? Recently, a U.S. magazine published an article pointed out that women in the home environment is too fastidious may increase the risk of breast cancer.
An U.S. research institution had an intensive study on chemicals and women’s health. The researchers asked nearly 800 breast cancer patients and another group of healthy women with the same age about frequency of using a variety of cleaning products and pesticides. The results showed that daily use of air fresheners to increase risk of breast cancer by 30%, while the insecticide can increase risk of breast cancer will double. Moreover, mold control products also will increase risk of breast cancer.
Recently, a new U.S. study found that drinking red wine can prevent vision deterioration.
The researchers found that a substance found in grapes and other fruit can protect the eye blood vessels from damage caused by aging. This compound is called Resveratrol, can play a role in preventing vascular damage.
Moderate drinking red wine can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease. French relatively low incidence of cardiovascular disease, some people think that this may be related to the French often drink red wine.
In addition, American Medical Tribune reported that red wine can significantly reduce cholesterol pile up on artery walls protect the heart, which also revealed the red wine in the prevention of cardiovascular and stroke of the key features, it is a good news for overweight, suffering from hypertension, hyperlipidemia people. The researchers pointed out that the function of red wine, mainly effect by it’s antioxidants such as resveratrol, flavonoids, catechins and five flavanonols.
Be noted that, although the benefits of red wine more tasty, but not drink more. Usually as long as drank about 100 ml.
August 4 issue of the British Lancet Oncology journal, published a new study found that hepatitis B patients suffering from non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL leukemia) is twice as high risk.
U.S. and South Korean researchers analyzed the Korean Cancer Prevention Study data, found that in 603 585 persons tested, 53 045 people tested positive for HBV (9%). 14-year follow-up survey, hepatitis B virus carriers have 133 people were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but not carriers of hepatitis B virus was found in 905 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The number of incident cases and tested conversion and found that hepatitis B virus carriers and non-hepatitis B virus carriers suffering from non-Hodgkins lymphoma of the probability respectively of 19.4 hundred thousandths and 12.3 hundred thousandths.
Thus, the large-scale study targeting health system workers and their families in South Korea found that people suffering from hepatitis B virus higher infection in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The researchers also found that hepatitis B virus infection with malignant immune hyperplasia risk of 4 times higher than common people.
Soybean milk contain protein, selenium, and molybdenum has a very strong ability of prevent and treatment of cancer, especially effect on gastric cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer.
According to the survey people who do not drink soybean milk probability of suffer from cancer than those who usually drink soybean milk increased by 50%.
Wheat acid contained in soybean milk has the role to prevent bronchitis smooth muscle spasm, thereby reducing and mitigating the onset of bronchitis.
Contained in soybean milk selenium, vitamin E, C, there is a great antioxidant, can make the body cells to “rejuvenate” the greatest special effect on the brain cells.
