Abstract

Background and purpose: Cconstipation is recognized as a widespread digestive disorder that influences the quality of life of affected people. The aim of this study was to review Persian and Chinese traditional medicine about constipation and finding the similarities in its etiology, symptoms and treatments and compare them to modern medicine and presenting a consolidated approach for performing joint research to clarify the mechanism which causes the disease and its effective treatments. Materials and methods: This article is a review study in which the information was collected through searching PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Civilica, and SID. Clinical articles and related text books without any time limits were studied using specific keywords. Data was then compared, analyzed and adapted and finally a conclusion was drawn. Results: In Persian and Chinese traditional medicine constipation causes difficult temperament and has various causes and treatments. Conclusion: The scientific capability of Chinese and Iranian medicine and their common cultural and scientific aspects could help in designing a new pattern for diagnosis and treatment of constipation. A consolidated approach and joint researches are suggested for clarifying some hidden aspects of this complication and its treatment.

Abstract

Background and purpose: Recently, natural antimicrobials attracted a lot of attention due to increasing preference of consumers for organic products which are free of chemical additives. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of cinnamaldehyde in combination with acetic and lactic acids against L.monocytogenes.

Materials and methods: The antibacterial effects of cinnamaldehyde, acetic and lactic acids were determined using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) was also used to evaluate the combined antibacterial activity.

Results: Based on our results, MIC values for cinnamaldehyde, acetic acid and lactic acid were 0.312, 2.5 and 5 μl/ml, respectively. FIC results showed that cinnamaldehyde combination with the organic acids had no interaction effects (1.0

Conclusion: Cinnamaldehyde, acetic and lactic acids were found effective in inhibiting the growth of L. monocytogenes. Meanwhile, organic acids can reduce the required amount of cinnamaldehyde.

Abstract

Background and purpose: Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) as a common disease has different clinical signs and symptoms. In the recent decades only a few local signs and symptoms of CRS are included in its diagnostic criteria while many important ones seem to have been missed out. Considering the very close compatibility of CRS with “Nazlah” and “Zokam” in the manuscripts of Persian Medicine, we reviewed some signs, symptoms and consequences of CRS in the main literatures of both modern medicine and Persian Medicine in order to suggest a more comprehensive diagnostic perspective.
Materials and methods: This study reviewed medical databases and main manuscripts of Persian Medicine using English, Arabic, and Farsi keywords including chronic rhinosinusitis, Nazlah, and Zokam with no time limitation. Data were then compared, interpreted, and analyzed.
Results: Studying the data available showed that a wide range of signs, symptoms, and consequences are ob observable served in CRS. The complexity of clinical features of CRS versus the current linear understanding of it, has led up to some difficulties to design a final framework for defining and semiologic description of CRS.
Conclusion: Reducing the CRS diagnostic criteria just to some of its local nasosinusal features may cause diagnostic ignorance of a wide spectrum of patients whose nasosinusal appearances are not so obvious while having other problems outside the organ. So we suggest a more comprehensive approach to recognize CRS through considering both local and general signs and symptoms for a better and more qualitative treatment.
