RESUMEN
In recent years, there has been growing scientific interest in the search for natural radioprotectors that can be used to mitigate the effects of radiation on patients, healthcare personnel, and even for space travel. This narrative review covers the past fifty years and focuses on herbal preparations of Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese, and Kampo Medicines that have the potential to reduce or eliminate the harmful effects of radiation. Our findings highlight ten herbal preparations, namely Abana, Amalakyadi Churna, Amritaprasham, Brahma, Bu-zhong-yi-qi-tang (BZYQT), Chyavanaprasha, Cystone, Geriforte, Mentat, and Triphala, which have demonstrated potential radioprotective effects. This review examines their composition, properties, and possible mechanisms of action in relation to their radioprotective properties. Exploring the ethnobotany of traditional Asian medicine is particularly interesting as it may lead to the discovery of new active compounds with radioprotective properties.
RESUMEN
The radioprotective effect ex vivo, in vitro and in vivo of vitamins was reviewed using PubMed and Embase and conducted according to the PRISMA statement. A total of 38 articles were included in this review, which includes the radioprotective effect of vitamins from ex vivo, in vitro and in vivo studies. Vitamins A, C, D and E were used alone, in combination or with other nutritional and non-nutritional compounds. The use of vitamins in natural form or supplementation can be useful to reduce the radiation effect in the body, organs and/or cells. Only four (A, C, D and E) out of thirteen vitamins have been detected with radioprotective properties being mainly vitamin E followed by vitamin C, A and D.
RESUMEN
El término "jubilatio" en latín tiene un significado claramente positivo entre alegría y júbilo evidente, palpable. Pero no es este el sentido que a menudo se ha dado al proceso de jubilación sino más bien el sentido anglosajón de "retirement", separación, aislamiento, bandear por inútil. La jubilación debe dejar de ser vista como un proceso de separación sino como una nueva etapa vital en la que las personas siguen siendo útiles tanto a la empresa como a la sociedad. Para ello es necesario un cambio de mentalidad y actitud y una buena preparación que abarque los aspectos psicológicos, biológicos y sociológicos del proceso de jubilación y que desarrolle nuevas capacidades y retos para la persona en este proceso y para la sociedad en general. La preparación debe realizarse desde la vida laboral activa, anticipándose a la propia jubilación, y debe comprender el conocimiento y la práctica del conocimiento de uno mismo y sus capacidades en el futuro, la convicción de la contribución activa a la sociedad, el autocuidado de la salud física y mental así como el conocimiento de los procesos legales y de gestión en la transición a la jubilación(AU)
Latin word "jubilatio" has a positive and objective meaning: joy, delight, happiness. But in our social environment it is not the same meaning when assigned to the retirement process. It is mostly a reference to the english meaning of "retirement": separation, isolation or lack of usefulness. Retirement process has to dramatically change in order to be perceived as a new phase in our lifetime where people continue to be useful and productive both for the enterprise and the society. To achieve this ambitious goal we need to change our mentality and attitude. Also a good preparation for the retirement process is needed by learning and getting ready about the psychological, biological and sociological factors to be able to develop new abilities and challenges for both the retired people and for the whole society. Preparation has to start from an active labor situation anticipating many aspects around oneself capabilities now and in the future, around social contribution, physical and psychological self care and also about the understanding of legal and other administrative aspects in the retirement process(AU)
