According to the high IC50 of saffron extracts in normal cells, its toxicity against non-cancerous cells is low and its use is safe. Besides, the studies suggested the cytotoxic effects of saffron on some of the more cancers, including nervous system cancer and common cancers. Further studies are required to determine the effective dose and influence of mechanism of saffron in various animal type of cancers.<br /><br />Considering the observed effects of saffron on the removal of cancer cells, saffron extract can be used in the treatment and prevention of cancer after confirmation in human clinical trials. According to the high IC50 of saffron extracts in normal cells, its toxicity against non-cancerous cells is low and its use is safe. Besides, the studies suggested the cytotoxic effects of saffron on some of the more cancers, including nervous system cancer and common cancers.

Thus, the present systematic review aims to evaluate the scientific literature in terms of effectiveness of topical treatment of OM in cancer patients undergoing CRT. Materials and Methods This systematic review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Checklist. Randomized clinical trials were identified through electronic database searches on CINAHL, Cochrane Library, LILACS, Livivo, PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science. Grey literature was also assessed on Google Scholar, Open Grey, and ProQuest. The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed by the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias Tool.<br /><br /> Twenty-three randomized clinical trials (n=1169 patients) met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-three different topical agents were examined and categorized into five groups analgesics (30.4%), natural agents (21.7%), other topical agents (21.7%), antimicrobial agents (17.4%), and growth factors (8.8%). Of the included studies, 50% presented a resolution of OM within 14 days. Topical natural agents yielded good results with average resolution time of 3-7 days. The included studies generally demonstrated that patients treated with mouthwashes presented superior benefits compared to the control, depending on OM severity.<br /><br /> Topical agents effectively reduced the severity of OM lesions and pain intensity in patients receiving chemoradiotherapy, although the effects varied by agent type. However, the heterogeneity in the results of these topical intervention studies underscores the need for standardized clinical trial methodologies.<br /><br /> Topical agents were effective in patients with severe OM lesions receiving chemoradiotherapy and are a good alternative of home care in relation to pain control, reduction of inflammation and consequent improvement in quality of life.&lt;br /&gt;.<br /><br />.The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of rosmarinic acid (RA) in a premature ovarian failure (POF) mouse model and the potential mechanisms. The POF model was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of 120 mg/kg cyclophosphamide (CP). Additionally, 40 mg/kg RA was administered for 7 days before CP injection. The concentration of sex hormones was determined by fluorescence immunohistochemistry. Histological analysis was performed after ovarian tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome was examined by western blot analysis and polymerase chain reaction. The expression of apoptosis markers of cytochrome c and caspase-3 was also detected by western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. The results showed that RA not only decreased the ovarian index in POF mice but also improved the abnormal secretion of reproductive hormones associated with POF. Treatment with RA suppressed the ovarian expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome and regulated the ovarian expression of apoptosis-related proteins. The results suggested that RA exhibited a protective effect against CP-induced POF potentially by suppressing apoptosis and the NLRP3 inflammasome.Apoptosis is an important process of cell death that controls the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. Syringic acid (SRA)-a phenolic compound well-known in traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine-has been reported to suppress cell proliferation of various cancer cells. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the inhibitory role of SRA on the proliferation of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells (SCC131) via reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. The study results showed that SRA (IC50 ) was able to induce apoptosis in SCC131 cells via increased ROS generation, alteration of mitochondrial membrane potential, nuclear fragmentation, apoptotic morphological differences, and DNA injury. Moreover, SRA inhibited proliferative markers such as proliferating cell nuclear antigen and cyclin D1 protein expression in SCC131 cells.

In addition, SRA was able to decrease Bcl-2 and increase mutant p53, caspase-9, Bax, and caspase-3 expression in SCC131 cells. Taken together, SRA succeeded in inhibiting SCC131 cell growth through the ROS and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in oral cancer cells.<br /><br />  The main purpose of this study was to compare the postoperative complications caused by surgical reconstruction via either retrosternal (RS) or prevertebral (PV) routes in thoracoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy patients.<br /><br />  We retrospectively screened the perioperative data in total 59 patients who underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy in time period from January 2016 to January 2018. All the patients were subgrouped into two cohorts according to the surgical routes being taken the RS route group (28 patients) and the PV route group (31 patients). The perioperative data including operation and hospitalization time and surgical complications were comparatively analyzed.<br /><br />  The surgical procedure in all patients was successful and no case of death occurred during perioperative stage in both groups. Notably, patients in the RS group had significantly lower propensity of pneumonia than patients in the PV group (<br /><br />  &lt; 0.05). However, comparative analysis revealed almost an identical time for both operative process and postoperative hospitalization.
