“…In this regard, there has been a renewed interest in the approaches of traditional medicine and phytotherapy in medical arena. Medicinal plants and their derivatives have been studied, by the application of scientific approaches, in vitro, with animals, and ultimately in clinical trials so that more efficient therapeutic approaches and drugs can be discovered [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] . Apart from drug therapy, other methods are used in tinnitus therapy such as phytotherapy (Table 2).…”

Introduction: Tinnitus is one of the common diseases of the ear that is associated with numerous physical and mental disorders. One of the known mechanisms in the tinnitus area with unknown reason is oxidative events. Based on the prevalence and economic costs and physical-psychological side effects caused by tinnitus and the importance of finding a suitable solution for its prevention and treatment, the need for further studies becomes more obvious in this context. This review article aimed to review studies on the effectiveness of Ginkgo biloba as a medicinal plant on patients with tinnitus. Evidence Acquisitions: Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), PubMed, LISTA (EBSCO) and Web of Science have been searched. Results: There are many studies on the therapeutic effect of Ginkgo biloba on patients with tinnitus. Most findings are in contrast with each other so that some of studies reported that Ginkgo biloba is effective in the treatment of tinnitus and other studies referred to it as ineffective herbal medicine. Generally, according to the previous studies and the present study, it can mention that the Ginkgo biloba may somewhat improve tinnitus. Conclusion: Since tinnitus is multifactorial, it is recommended to evaluate patients individually based on the cause of tinnitus, treatment formulas, and different doses of Ginkgo biloba at the more extensive level in future studies.

“…[ 46 ] Some studies have mentioned the Helicobacter pylori and improper diet as the most important factors of stomach cancer. [ 52 ] Generally, the prevalence of H. pylori in developing countries is >80%, and in developed countries, it is <30%. [ 53 ] H. pylori is a little bacillary form bacteria that create infection in mucous layer of human stomach, and if the infection lasts, 10%–15% of people are afflicted to ulcers or/and stomach cancer.…”

MicroRNAs consist of 18 to 25 non-coding ribonucleic acids (RNA) that can act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors and in which mutations can lead to cancer. The identification of microRNAs and their target molecules has created a new horizon for studies of causes of cancer. MicroRNAs can be used as potential biological markers in diagnosis, prediction and treatment of cancers. This review article presents findings to explain microRNA's function in human cancers.
