Abstract

Endogenous stem cells play a critical role in maintaining tissue homeostasis, repair, and regeneration. The interconnectedness of mind and body has long been recognized as influencing physical health, with practices such as yoga and meditation demonstrating positive effects on overall well-being. This review aims to synthesize current evidence on the effects of meditation on stem cell function, focusing on both indirect (telomere-related) and direct pathways. Meditation appears to influence stem cell function through various mechanisms. Indirectly, meditation may impact stem cells by modulating telomere length and activity. This modulation is likely mediated through stress reduction, modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, melatonin elevation, immune system modulation, and reduction of oxidative stress. Directly, meditation may influence stem cell trafficking and differentiation. While studies suggest potential benefits of meditation on stem cell function, further research is needed to fully elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Emerging evidence suggests that meditation may positively influence stem cell function through both indirect and direct pathways. Future research should focus on clarifying the precise mechanisms, investigating the role of meditation parameters, and conducting clinical trials to assess the therapeutic potential of meditation in promoting stem cell-mediated tissue regeneration and repair. A multidisciplinary approach involving researchers from various fields is crucial for comprehensively understanding the complex interplay between meditation, stem cells, and overall health.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer is usually utilized to eradicate micro-metastasis, induce apoptosis in tumor cells, and reduce the primary tumor size, enabling surgical intervention. Recent studies have shown that tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), especially cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and immunosuppressive Foxp3+ regulatory T cells, influence tumor response to treatment. However, their role as predictive markers for NAC response remains unclear. Therefore, this study was performed to investigate whether high expression of CD8+ and low expression of Foxp3+ T lymphocytes are associated with better response to NAC in stage III breast cancer patients.METHODS: Total of 60 biopsy samples from stage III breast cancer patients were included, comprising 30 subjects in the response group (+) and 30 subjects in the non-response group (−). The expression levels of CD8+ and Foxp3+ T lymphocytes in tumor tissue were assessed semi-quantitatively by immunohistochemistry (IHC), using a scoring system based on the proportion and intensity of positively stained cells (Black’s grading criteria).RESULTS: Stage III breast cancer with high expression of CD8+ T lymphocytes was significantly associated with a better response to NAC (p=0.004; OR=6.882). Meanwhile, low expression of Foxp3+ T lymphocytes was not significantly associated with chemotherapy response (p=0.067; OR=3.250). A higher tumor grade was also associated with an improved response to treatment. The probability of achieving a positive response to NAC in subjects presenting with high CD8+ expression, low Foxp3+ expression, and high tumor grade was estimated at 96.98%.CONCLUSION: The combination of high expression of CD8+ T lymphocyte, low expression of Foxp3+ T lymphocyte and high tumor grade might be useful to predict good response to NAC in stage III breast cancer.KEYWORDS: CD8+ T lymphocyte, Foxp3+ T lymphocyte, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, breast cancer

Abstract

Background: Male infertility is a significant global health issue, with rising prevalence linked to environmental factors such as secondhand smoke, which impairs sperm quality. This study aimed to examine how light physical activity and vitamin D supplementation improved sperm quality in rats exposed to cigarette smoke. Methods: This study used a randomized experimental design with 38 rats, divided into two groups. The control group was exposed to cigarette smoke and received vitamin D at 18 IU/kg body weight (BW) daily. The treatment group was exposed to cigarette smoke, received the same vitamin D dose, and underwent light physical activity. The 35-day research period involved the analysis of evaluated parameters. Differences between these parameters were assessed using an independent t-test, with statistical significance set at a P-value < 0.05. Results: Compared to the control group (p-values< 0.001), the treatment group, receiving light physical activity and vitamin D supplementation, exhibited significantly lower malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (0.96 ± 0.14 nmol/mL), higher vitamin D receptor expression (2.44 ± 0.58 cells/HPF), and increased testosterone levels (4.33 ± 0.76 ng/dL). Sperm quality was also significantly improved in the treatment group, showing higher sperm count (2.24 ± 0.81 × 10⁶/mL), motility (4.20 ± 0.23%), viability (3.07 ± 0.39%), and normal morphology (5.34 ± 0.17%) (p-values< 0.001). Conclusion: Light physical activity and vitamin D supplementation improved sperm quality in cigarette smoke-exposed male rats, correlating with reduced MDA and elevated vitamin D receptor expression and testosterone. Further clinical trials are warranted to explore human applications.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease and has become a global problem due to the rapid increase in the number of cases. This disease is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by insulin resistance and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction. The occurrence of oxidative stress is known to play a central role in the development of T2DM complications, through increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) that worsen insulin resistance, worsen beta cell function, and trigger complications such as cardiovascular complications, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Objectives: This literature review aims to evaluate the scientific evidence supporting the use of antioxidant therapy as an additional approach in the management of T2DM, focusing on the effectiveness and mechanism of action of antioxidant compounds on glycemic parameters, oxidative stress, and diabetes complications. Methods: A literature search was conducted through databases on ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar, with the keywords "antioxidant therapy", "type 2 diabetes mellitus", "oxidative stress", and "diabetes management". The selected articles included in vitro, in vivo studies, and clinical trials published in the period 2013-2023. Literature review focused on the biochemical mechanisms of antioxidant compounds and clinical outcomes related to glycemic parameters and diabetes complications. The literature extraction process was carried out from January to March 2024. Results: Supplementation of vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin C, polyphenols, saponins, and flavonoids has been proven to reduce blood glucose levels and increase insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The mechanism involves increasing antioxidant activity, regulating glucose homeostasis, as well as modulating signaling pathways such as AMPK, PPAR, and GLUT4. Conclusions: This bioactive compound has potential as an adjunct therapy in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus by targeting oxidative stress and insulin resistance. Further research is needed to determine optimal dosage and long-term effectiveness.
