Breakthrough of Human Milk OligosaccharidesKhaled Saad
The document discusses human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and their importance for infant growth, immunity, and morbidity. It outlines that HMOs are the third largest component in human milk after lactose and fat. Specific HMOs like 2'-fucosyllactose support the growth of beneficial bacteria while protecting against pathogens. HMOs are able to modulate immune responses both locally in the gut and systemically after absorption. Certain fucosylated HMOs in particular are able to block pathogenic adhesion and weaken inflammation.
Vitamins play an important role in immune function as immunomodulators. Vitamins A, D, E, and the B vitamins are especially important. Vitamin A supports adaptive immune responses. Vitamin D regulates mineral metabolism and is processed by immune cells. Vitamin E and C function as antioxidants, protecting immune cells from free radicals. A balanced diet supplying adequate vitamins is necessary to meet the nutrient demands of the immune system and support optimal immune response. Vitamin deficiencies impair immunity and increase susceptibility to infection.
This document discusses the role of nutrition in immune function. It explains that appropriate nutrition is required for immune cells to function optimally. Certain nutrients like vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates play important roles in the development and maintenance of an effective immune system. Both deficiencies and excesses of specific nutrients can impair immune responses. The document then focuses on specific micronutrients and their roles in immune function, including iron, zinc, copper, vitamin B and others. It provides information on recommended intakes, dietary sources, and consequences of deficiencies and excesses for each nutrient.
IL-1 beta, CCL2, and CCL5 are cytokines that play important roles in breast cancer progression and metastasis. IL-1 beta expression is low in normal breast cells but significantly increases in tumor cells. IL-1 beta stimulates the production of the inflammatory chemokines CCL2 and CCL5, which are not expressed in normal cells. Together, IL-1 beta, CCL2, and CCL5 enhance tumor growth and metastasis through various interactions and pathways, with their roles changing at different stages of cancer development. Understanding the relationships between these cytokines could provide insights into breast cancer treatment.

Specific deficiencies like vitamin A that increase susceptibility to infection are mentioned. The relationship between infection and malnutrition is also summarized.
This document discusses the importance of immunity and ways to improve and maintain immunity throughout life. It explains that immunity is a vital factor in health that protects the body from external stimuli and microbes. Many complex reactions involving organs, tissues, cells, hormones, enzymes, and white blood cells all work together as part of the immune system. Factors like age, food, sleep, lifestyle, stress, and environment can impact immunity. The document provides recommendations for improving immunity, including breastfeeding, vaccinations, nutritious meals, exercise, herbal supplements, yoga, meditation, and maintaining social connections and a positive mindset. Specific foods and herbs that can boost immunity are also listed.
The document summarizes key aspects of immunity in chickens. It discusses innate and acquired immunity, the immune organs including the thymus and bursa of Fabricius, and the two main types of acquired immunity - antibody-mediated and cell-mediated responses. The antibody-mediated response involves B cells producing antibodies that target pathogens, while the cell-mediated response uses T cells to identify and destroy cells infected with pathogens. Together these immune responses provide chickens with protection against disease.
This document discusses how malnutrition affects immunity. It defines malnutrition as a lack of proper nutrients that the body needs to function optimally. There are two types: undernutrition from not enough calories/nutrients and overnutrition from too many calories/fat. Malnutrition increases susceptibility to infection by compromising the immune system, such as reducing complement system functions, phagocyte ability, and hematopoiesis. It also decreases the function of antigen-presenting cells and the production of cytokines that support hematopoietic stem cell growth. In summary, malnutrition weakens the immune system in multiple ways, making the body more vulnerable to infectious diseases.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Health Factors in Colostrum
B.R. Thapa
Division of Pediatric Gastroentrology, Department of Gastroenterology, PGIMER, Chandigarh
Abstract. Colostrum is a breast milk produced after the birth of the newborn and lasts for 2-4 days. Colostrum is very important
part of breast milk and lays down the immune system and confers growth factors and other protective factors for the young
ones in mammals. This is the source of passive immunity achieved by the mother and is transferred to the baby. This is the
major source of secretory IgA and gives protection against gastrointestinal infections. In view of so many health factors through
colostrum, the use of colostrum has been extended to so many health problems of mankind. Human and bovine colostrums
have many similarities barring that bovine colostrum can be obtained in large quantity, so bovine colostrum has been used in
various disorders in human beings. This is the nature’s gift that is for the young ones to grow as well as for the treatment of
many health problems in older age group. [Indian J Pediatr 2005; 72 (7) : 579-581] E-mail : brthapa1@yahoo.co.in
Key words : Colostrum; Bovine colostrum; Immune system; Growth factors
The animals that lactate and produce milk to feed their
offspring are called mammals. The word mammal in latin
means “breast” to produce milk for the young ones to
suckle. All mammals are peculiar in their existence by the
fact that they are provided with pre-formed feeds
available in their breasts. This is a nature’s gift for the
newborn. Before the birth, the fetus is absolutely sterile
and is lying in the sterile atmosphere. At the time of
delivery the newborn is exposed to micro-flora of birth
canal and handling by the medical attendants or
midwifery or otherwise hits the ground. The newborn
from the sterile state is suddenly exposed to the
environment full of micro-organisms and other agents.
There has to be ready-made immunity to immunize. But
at the same time nature provides the breast milk to which
baby starts suckling soon after the birth. The first breast
milk produced after giving birth is known as colostrum.
The colostrum is very important component of breast
milk and lays the foundation for every mammals’
immune system. This contains protective antibodies to
prevent infections in the newborn called PASSIVE
immunity. This also provides vital nutrients for tissue
development, growth and energy. The mother’s lifetime
achievements, pass to the baby through colostrum.1,2
WHAT IS COLOSTRUM?
Colostrum is pre-milk substance that is produced
immediately after birth. Within few minutes of birth,
baby can suckle the breast. Colostrum is thick lemon
yellow mammary secretion and is rich in proteins. This
lasts for 2-4 days after the lactation has started. This is the

source of fats , proteins , sugars and micronutrients in the
form of vitamins and minerals. This is very rich source of
secretory IgA to give protection to gastrointestinal tract
(GIT) from various infections in the new born. Certain
maternal conditions like eclampsia, diabetes and anemia
can affect the composition of colostrum.1
HISTORICAL ASPECTS
Colostrum has been used for various illnesses in India for
thousands of years. The medical importance was
described in ancient medicine ayurveda. In U.S. colostrum
was in use for its anti-bacterial activity before the
discovery of antibiotics. In many countries it is used to
prepare cake to celebrate the birth of the calf. Colostrum
has been used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Sabin,
an anti-polio vaccine was prepared from bovine
colostrum. Colostrum has been reported to be very safe
and effective for its use in repair of tissue as well as for
enhancing the immunity.3-5
HARVESTING OF COLOSTRUM
Human colostrum was not enough for its use at large at
the same time mother donors had problems of abuse of
alcohol, cigarettes etc. So there was need of alternate
colostrum from animal source with safe and stable
transfer of immunity and growth factors .These properties
are there in bovine colostrum as well .Rather cow
colostrum is richer in IgG (20%) as compared to IgG (2%)
in human colostrum. The bovine colostrum also contained
growth factors, so cow has been accepted as universal
donor of colostrum to humans.2
Colostrum is harvested within first few hours of
calving from dairy animals. The herds of cows are kept

under close supervision in good state of hygiene, without
exposure to antibiotics, pesticides and anthelmintics.
They are monitored according to FDA criteria. The
colostrum collected within 24 hours contain maximum
substances but less in amount, colostrum collected later
will be more but contain less immunoglobulins.
IMPORTANT HEALTH FACTORS IN COLOSTRUM
There are ninety known components in the colostrum.
There are two primary components of colostrum :
immune factors and growth factors. Colostrum also
contains vitamins, minerals and aminoacids according to
need of neonates.5
IMMUNE FACTORS
(a) Spcific Antibodies. The immune factors obtained
from the mother have shown to fight to against
viruses, bacteria, yeast and fungus. There are around
20 specific antibodies in the colostrum to fight
microbes like E.coli, Salmonella, Rotavirus, Candida,
Streptococcus, Styphylococcus, Cryptosporidium, H.pylori
etc. 3,4,6,7 There is adequate transfer of passive
immunity against diarrhea.8
(b) Immunoglobulins – Immunoglobulins are superior in
defence in both treatment and prevention of viral
infections, bacterial infections, allergies, yeast and
fungus.6 There are five types of immunoglobulins
IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM. Bovine colostrum
contains 8%-25%, IgG whereas human colostrum
contains 2% IgG. These are protein molecules , saline
soluble aminoacids which have important role in the
body to fight against infections.
IgA : operates in tears ,saliva and blood(secretory IgA
in the gut)
IgD : anti-viral
IgE : anti-viral
IgM : anti-bacterial
IgG : abundant. in lymph and blood, and neutralizes
toxins.
(c) Prolin Rich Polypeptide (PRP): PRP has been shown
to stimulate the thymus to regulate the immune
system in the body. PRP stimulates the weakened
immune system and also stabilizes hyperactive
immune system due to autoimmune diseases and
allergies in the body.
(d) Lactoferrin : This is an iron binding protein that plays
important role against cancer cells and also has antiviral and anti-bacterial properties and anti
inflammatory properties. Lactoferrin can prevent
reproduction of bacteria and releases iron for the red
blood cells. Lactoferrin receptors have been identified
on the immune cells and in involved in release of
cytokines. Lactoferrin has been implicated in
treatment of diseases like cancer, HIV, herpes, chronic
fatigue, candidiasis and other infections.9
580
(e) Cytokines : These are the interleukines. They regulate
duration and intensity of immune responses. They
boost T cells activity and have antiviral and antitumor activity. Interleukine-10 is having the antiinflammatory activity in arthritis and during injury.10
(f) Lymphokines : These are the peptides involved in
mediating the immune response.
(g) Oligopolysaccharides and Glycoconjugate Sugars:
They attract and bind to pathogenic bacteria and
prevent their entery in the mucosal lining . They
block the entry of Salmonella, Cryptosporidium and
Clostridia in leaky gut syndrome.5,8
(h) Glycoproteins and Trypsin Inhibitors: They inhibit
the breakdown of colostrum in the gut ,hence it can
have its effect in the GIT. Colostrum inhibits the
H.pylori in stomach, so anti-ulcer activity. They
protect the immune and growth factors in GIT.7
(i) Lysozyme : This is an acid resistant hydrolyzing
agent that is capable of destroying bacteria and
viruses on contact. This is being added to commercial
baby food.
(j) Leucocytes : They stimulate interferon production
and slow down the viral reproduction. Interferon also
inhibits cellular wall penetration.11
(k) Lactoperoxidase-thiocynate, Peroxidase and Xanthine
Oxidase Enzymes: They oxidize bacteria by
generating the release of hydrogen peroxide .
(l) Lactalbumins: Lactalbumins are active against many
form of cancers and viruses. Lactalbumins also raise
the serotonin levels , decrease the cartisol levels and
improve the mood under stress.4,5
GROWTH FACTORS
The vital growth factors in the human colostrum are
similar to that of bovine colostrum. They stimulate
growth, help in regeneration and accelerate the repair of
aged original muscle, skin, collagen, bone, cartilage and
nerve tissue. Growth factors also stimulate the body to
burn fat for fuel instead of the body’s muscle tissue in
times of fasting and lean built. Growth factors have also
been used as an effective topical application for burns ,
injuries and skin rejuvenation.12
VARIOUS GROWTH FACTORS
(a) Epithelial Growth Factor (EGF): EGF is protective as
well as maintains the skin. This can stimulate normal skin
growth and repair the cellular tissue. Insulin like growth
factors 1 and 2 (IgF1 and IgF-2) are the most abundant.
They affect the use of fat, protein and sugar by the body.
IgF-1 is known to stimulate the repair and the growth of
DNA and RNA, making it most powerful anti-aging
substance. IgF-1 also improves the lean muscle mass and
may help in regulation of blood pressure and cholestrol
levels.13,14
b) Transforming Growth Factors A and B (TGF A and
Indian Journal of Pediatrics, Volume 72—July, 2005
3. Health Factors in Colostrum
B): TGF stimulates the proliferation cells in connective
tissue and assists in formation of bone marrow and
cartilage. TGF also has therapeutic potential in bone and
wound healing. This is helpful in repair of the tissue and
supports the lining of the gut.14, 15
c) Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) : PDGF
helps in cell division in connective tissue, smooth muscle
and fibroblasts. It also helps neurone survival and
regeneration .
d) Vitamins and Minerals : They are most important
nutrients essential for the normal metabolism, growth and
development. They act as coenzymes throughout the
body. They help in maintenance of health as they are
naturally balanced and provided in the colostrum
depending upon the needs. 16, 17 There are more than
adequate amounts of vitamins like C,E, and A in the
colostrum. These vitamins make colostrum to serve as
antioxidant in the body.16-17
e) Aminoacids : They are the building blocks of
proteins. They are required for growth and development
of the newborn.
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
Bovine colostrum contains useful ingredients which have
been found to be beneficial in various diseases in human
beings. In gastrointestinal tract (GIT) bovine colostrum
has great role in terms of maintenance of integrity of
mucosa, permeability, local immunity (secretory IgA),
systemic immunity and antigen handling. There are
clinical observations to support that bovine colostrum is
effective in the treatment of bacterial and viral diarrhea in
adults and children.6,8
This also helps in prevention of diarrhea when given
to the children over longer period. Bovine colostrum has
also been used in treatment as well as prevention of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NS AIDS) induced gut
injury. People have used bovine colostrum in various joint
disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and has been found to
be useful. This acts as an immune modulator, hence,
useful in the auto-immune and allergic disorders. This
also takes care of upper respiratory tract infections,
sinusitis and pneumonia. Due to anti – bacterial and antiviral activity of bovine colostrum, this product has a great
potential to treat various infections in the body in
physiological way.11 The growth factors have a lot of
scope in the maintenance of growth in children. Due to
anti-oxidant and fibroblast activation, the bovine
colostrum has been used in various aging disorders and
before and after surgical procedures with good results.8, 12,
16, 17
However, there is need of double blind placebocontrolled multicentric trials to show scientifically its
efficacy in real sense.
Indian Journal of Pediatrics, Volume 72—July, 2005
To conclude the bovine colostrum has lot of scope in
the prevention and treatment of various illnesses in
human being. The passive immunity transferred from
mother can help in prevention and treatment of various
diarrheal disorders in children. The anti-oxidant and antiaging properties are helpful to deal with various old age
problems. The colostrum also helps in growth and healing
of various mucosal, skin and muscle injuries. These
therapeutic potentials will be covered in separate article.
