“…Indeed, it has been demonstrated that Ilex paraguariensis could reduce the inflammatory cell influx of macrophages and neutrophils and reduced acute lung inflammation in mice exposed to cigarette smoke. 12 The anti-inflammatory action was related with the decrease in inflammatory cytokine expression, cell influx and cellular metabolic activity and also with promotion of cell survival due to its prevention, interception and repair protection against peroxynitrite, which causes protein nitration, lipid peroxidation, DNA damage and cell death. Nitrosative stress is induced whenever the conditions are favorable for increased superoxide formation, like cellular damage due to trauma.…”

Aim:The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the pain course after surgical removal of third molars. Materials and methods:The sample consisted of 100 consecutive patients. Pain intensity was assessed by means of a visual analog scale (VAS).Results: At day 1, moderate and severe pain were observed predominantly in patients who had surgery in the mandible (p < 0.001) and for patients younger than 24 years (p = 0.009), while more patients who weekly consumed mate tea (Ilex paraguariensis) showed pain classified as none or light (p = 0.017). At day 2, the profile of pain moderate/severe was more prevalent for patients who had surgery in the mandible (p < 0.001) with the report of difficult surgery (p = 0.042) and with odontotomy performed (p = 0.033). In the third postoperative day, severe/moderate pain was associated with surgery in the mandible (p < 0.001) and with odontotomy (p = 0.021) and ostectomy (p = 0.028) performed, with report of long and difficult procedure (p = 0.023), surgeries which last more than sixty minutes (p < 0.026), and for those patients who developed postoperative inflammatory complications (p < 0.001). Conclusion:Higher pain complains could be expected for patients who have long and difficult mandibular third molar surgery characterized by odontotomy and ostectomy.Clinical significance: Pain after third molar surgery is a common sequele. It is indispensable for the dentists to be apt in handling and preventing it as far as possible and know possible variables that may influence or increase these pain levels. It can be a clinical advantage. Better understanding the pain characteristics may guide the dentist through preoperative decisions.

“…Oxygen radicals are involved in many human diseases including cancer, inflammation, liver and cardiovascular disease (Ames et al, 1993;Halliwell, 1994). Yerba mate extracts have been previously shown to provide antioxidant activity and inhibition of low-densitylipoproteins oxidation (Gugliucci and Stahl, 1995;Filip et al, 2000;Chandra and De Mejia Gonzalez, 2004) in vitro (Gugliucci and Stahl, 1995;Filip et al, 2000) and in vivo (Gugliucci, 1996;Schinella et al, 2000;Lanzetti et al, 2008). Similarly, Martins et al (2009) determined that mice fed yerba mate had lower thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the liver, suggesting that treatment with yerba mate extract protected unsaturated fatty acids from oxidation and may especially protect the liver (Martins et al, 2009).…”

Yerba Mate is a popular tea beverage produced and consumed in the South American countries of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, and is processed from the leaves and stems of Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil., a perennial shrub from the Aquifoliaceae family. Production occurs in six stages: harvesting older leaves and small stems, roasting by direct fire, drying under hot air, milling to specified size, aging to acquire optimal sensory attributes, and final packaging. While grown and consumed for centuries in South America, its popularity is increasing in the United States because of demand by consumers for healthier, more natural foods, its filling a niche for a different type of tea beverage, and for Yerba Mate's potential health benefits-antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiobesity, anti-diabetic, digestive improvement, stimulant, and cardiovascular properties. Cultivation, production and processing may cause a variation in bioactive compounds biosynthesis and degradation. Recent research has been expanded to its potential use as an antimicrobial, protecting crops and foods against foodborne, human and plant pathogens. Promising results for the use of this botanical in human and animal health has prompted this review. This review focuses on the known chemical composition of Yerba Mate, the effect of cultivation, production and processing may have on composition, along with a specific discussion of those compounds found in Yerba Mate that have antimicrobial properties.

[4] Bronchitis is slowly progressive and largely irreversible disease with clinical signs and symptoms like sore throat, runny nose, airway obstruction, tiredness, sensation of tightness, burning or dull pain in the chest under the breast bone, shortness of breath, fever, sputum production and sputum tenacity.

Objectives Bronchitis is a common respiratory tract infection of humans mainly caused by influenza virus, rhinovirus, adenovirus, coronavirus and respiratory syncytial virus. The aim of this review was to gather fragmented literature on ethnomedicinal plants used against bronchitis in the Himalayan region and their in-vitro validation against bronchitis causing viral pathogens. Key findings Present review contains ethnomedicines of total 55 plants from different countries of the Himalayas. Most of the literature reported was from India followed by Pakistan, China and Nepal. Familiarly used plant families for bronchitis treatment in the Himalayan region were Leguminosae (six plants) and Lamiaceae (five plants). Leaves and roots were the most common parts used in ethnomedicines against bronchitis. Of these 55 plants, only six plants have been studied in vitro against viral pathogens causing bronchitis. Different compounds like monoterpenoids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, iridoid glycosides, sesquiterpenes, benzoic and phenolic compounds were reportedly isolated from these plant extracts having strong antiviral potential. Summary The Himalayan regions possess variety of ethnomedicinal plants used against respiratory diseases, but still there are only few studies related with their in-vitro validation. We invite the attention of researchers for detailed ethnopharmacological and phytochemical studies on unexplored plants used to treat bronchitis for the development of novel antiviral drugs.
