Moringa Oleifera and Mitochondria – A Short Literature Review

Daigo Hirao — 2024-12-02

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a critical factor in the pathology of numerous diseases, impacting cellular energy production and metabolic processes. This review explores the potential of Moringa oleifera (MO), a well-established medicinal plant, in mitigating mitochondrial dysfunction. Highlighting its phytochemical components such as flavonoids, isothiocyanates and glycosides, this paper discusses their roles in reducing oxidative stress, combating inflammation and improving cellular health. Evidence from recent studies supports MO's capacity to restore mitochondrial functions, alleviate muscle atrophy and counteract neurodegenerative diseases. While promising, gaps in clinical research necessitate advanced trials to validate these findings and develop MO-based therapeutic interventions.

Daigo Hirao — 2024-12-05

Cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, significantly impacted by lifestyle choices and environmental factors. Conventional cancer treatments, while effective in many cases, often come with substantial side effects, emphasizing the need for alternative or complementary approaches. This review explores plant-based therapies as a holistic alternative, focusing on bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and phytochemicals for their anticancer properties. Challenges like bioavailability and limited clinical translation of these compounds are also discussed. The review underscores the potential of integrating plant-based strategies to enhance cancer prevention and treatment, advocating for further research to address existing limitations and optimize their application in clinical settings.

The ingestion of foreign bodies is a condition frequently encountered, particularly in patients with psychiatric history.

In this article, we discuss the case of a 23-year-old patient with chronic alcohol and tobacco use and drug addiction, without notable psychiatric history, who presents to the emergency department for foreign body ingestion with the aim of self-destruction, accompanied by epigastric and periumbilical pain, as well as an episode of rectal bleeding. He was initially managed by gastroenterologists and underwent three attempts to extract foreign bodies via endoscopy.

However, it was decided to remove the remaining foreign bodies via laparoscopy due to difficulties encountered during endoscopy. The patient was admitted to the surgical department and underwent gastric foreign body extraction under laparoscopic surgery. During exploration, there was a noted distension of the transverse colon estimated at 8 cm, and foreign bodies were perceived in the stomach at the level of the greater curvature.
