Article Synopsis
- Blume tea, a traditional Vietnamese medicine, has shown potential in treating various health issues and possesses diverse pharmacological properties, although its anticancer effects were previously unclear.
- Recent studies indicated that extracts from J. subtriplinerve, specifically the ethyl acetate fraction, demonstrated significant anti-proliferative effects on breast cancer cells while other fractions did not show efficacy.
- In mouse models, the ethyl acetate fraction reduced tumor incidence and mortality when administered, suggesting that Blume tea could be a safe and effective chemopreventive option against breast cancer.
Background: Little is known about childhood epilepsy in Vietnam, and because the causes of symptomatic epilepsy could be the result of both rapid economic development and traditional Vietnamese lifestyle, the purpose of the present paper was to clarify the nature of childhood epilepsy in Vietnam.
Method: A classification of epilepsy using International League Against Epilepsy classification was made and an investigation of causes was carried out.
Results: Of those 162 new patients diagnosed as having epilepsy in Bach Mai Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam, from February 2002 to February 2004 (male 84, female 78), there were 58 cases of generalized epilepsy: 22 symptomatic and 36 idiopathic or cryptogenic.
