Cases of suspected herb-induced liver injury (HILI) caused by herbal Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs) and of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) are commonly published in the scientific literature worldwide. As opposed to the multiplicity of botanical chemicals in herbal TCM products, which are often mixtures of several herbs, conventional Western drugs contain only a single synthetic chemical. It is therefore of interest to study how HILI by TCM and DILI compare with each other, and to what extent results from each liver injury type can be transferred to the other. China is among the few countries with a large population using synthetic Western drugs as well as herbal TCM. Therefore, China is well suited to studies of liver injury comparing drugs with TCM herbs. Despite some concordance, recent analyses of liver injury cases with verified causality, using the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method, revealed major differences in HILI caused by TCMs as compared to DILI with respect to the following features: HILI cases are less frequently observed as compared to DILI, have a smaller proportion of females and less unintentional rechallenge events, and present a higher rate of hepatocellular injury features. Since many results were obtained among Chinese residents who had access to and had used Western drugs and TCM herbs, such ethnic homogeneity supports the contention that the observed differences of HILI and DILI in the assessed population are well founded.

“…Using 17-HDHA led to an enhanced serum protective antibody response after OVA and H1N1 vaccination in a mouse model (Ramon et al, 2014 ). Dietary DHA has also been proposed as a potential adjuvant in cancer treatments (Merendino et al, 2013 ) and has been tested in children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Elbarbary et al, 2016 ). It is clear that dietary fatty acids influence the response of the immune system to vaccination and the potential benefits from marine (n-3) PUFA have been reported (Hogenkamp et al, 2011 ).…”

Although oral subunit vaccines are highly relevant in the fight against widespread diseases, their high cost, safety and proper immunogenicity are attributes that have yet to be addressed in many cases and thus these limitations should be considered in the development of new oral vaccines. Prominent examples of new platforms proposed to address these limitations are plant cells and microalgae. Schizochytrium sp. constitutes an attractive expression host for vaccine production because of its high biosynthetic capacity, fast growth in low cost culture media, and the availability of processes for industrial scale production. In addition, whole Schizochytrium sp. cells may serve as delivery vectors; especially for oral vaccines since Schizochytrium sp. is safe for oral consumption, produces immunomodulatory compounds, and may provide bioencapsulation to the antigen, thus increasing its bioavailability. Remarkably, Schizochytrium sp. was recently used for the production of a highly immunoprotective influenza vaccine. Moreover, an efficient method for transient expression of antigens based on viral vectors and Schizochytrium sp. as host has been recently developed. In this review, the potential of Schizochytrium sp. in vaccinology is placed in perspective, with emphasis on its use as an attractive oral vaccination vehicle.

“…A recent systematic review of clinical trials evaluating the use of nutritional supplements for supportive care indications found several studies with a range of evidence. 36 The authors reported on 32 studies that investigated the use of dietary supplements for several supportive care indications, including mucositis (N = 12), [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] treatment-related toxicities (N = 5), [49][50][51][52][53] appetite and weight management (N = 3), [54][55][56] hepatic toxicity (N = 3), [57][58][59] fever and neutropenia (N = 3), [60][61][62] neuropathy (N = 2), 63,64 chemotherapyinduced nausea and vomiting (N = 2), 65,66 bone mineral density (N = 1), 67 and gastrointestinal symptoms (N = 1). 68 Mixed, but encouraging, findings were reported for glutamine and honey for mucositits, zinc for the prevention of weight loss and infections, essential fatty acids for weight loss, and milk thistle for the treatment of hepatoxicity.…”

The diagnosis of cancer in a child leaves parents and families devastated and vulnerable. In an effort to do everything possible, families often choose an integrative medicine approach to their child's care. Surveys have found that 31%-84% of children with cancer use complementary and alternative medicine and most often as supportive care agents. Several systematic reviews have demonstrated a clinical benefit for some select therapies; however, the safety and efficacy of the combination of biological therapies with conventional treatment remain largely unknown and garner concern due to the potential for interactions with conventional therapy. Given the sustained use and potential benefit of integrative medicine, additional research is warranted in pediatric oncology. Utilizing the available literature, clinical providers should aim to conduct open and nonjudgmental discussions with families about the use of integrative medicine so as to guide the safe integration of the two modalities.
