Allergic reactions when using younger wines can be attributed contained therein aspen venom, the New England Journal of Medicine.

In the process of pressure in the manufacture of grape wine or juice drinks may not be included in the axis, centering around the berries. This wine can represent a real threat to the lives of people suffering from allergic to poison aspen, the Spanish researchers argue.

Doctors from the hospital Rio Hortega (Rio Hortega Hospital) in Valladolide described five cases of severe allergic reactions that have emerged in humans after consumption of wine or grape juice. A three patients allergy manifested itself in the form of Redness and swelling of the lips person, one - symptoms resembling asthma. A fifth patient developed anafilaktichesky shock - the most dangerous manifestation of allergy, a life-threatening.

All patients successfully cured, but doctors remained in bewilderment: why allergies could not be confirmed. Through a series of tests were excluded most likely allergens - grape extract and egg protein, which is sometimes added to wine in the process of manufacture, said head of research Alicia Armentia.

A more thorough analysis showed that all patients in the blood contained antibodies to aspen or bee venom. However, the patients themselves argued that the insects were not uzhaleny.

The next phase of the doctors studied blood samples of patients' reactions to the juice of red and white grapes, wine and a few younger species sawn wines, all from different vineyards.

It turned out that both juice and wine younger provoked allergic reactions in the blood samples of all five patients. Subsequent tests confirmed that the allergy was caused by a protein poison wasps, who was present in trace quantities of beverages.

Meanwhile, the composure of wine does not cause allergic reactions in patients' blood, said Alicia Armentia. The scientist explained that the fact that in the process of maturing wine proteins aspen poison destroyed, and for complete destruction of aspen poison can be quite a few weeks. Nevertheless, people suffering from allergic to bees or wasps, it is better to avoid the use of reinsurance and the young wines, warned Armentia.

According to the Lawrence Berkeley National Diet Laboratory (USA), irregular physical exercises with long interruptions lead to more rapid accumulation of extra kilograms, than if people are not practising sport.

Moreover, from such excess weight in the future harder to get rid of. The effective slimming must remain physically active all year round, for many years and to avoid seasonal "peredyshek", such as during holidays, weekends or winter period.

Specialists noted that people who are intensely involved in running a weekly basis and then suddenly ceased to practise their body weight quickly recruited. According to researchers, such weight holidaymakers athlete became even four times more than before the start of physical exercises and thus they did not improve their health.

To obtain such results have been analyzed data on 17 thousand 280 men and 970 women thousands 5. Experts stress that all the benefits of physical activity can be crossed if you are lazy or you do not have time to engage in charging, sports or aerobics consistently and often enough.

According to scientists, healing cancer patients may become a reality within the next two years, thanks to injections of so-called immunotsitov taken from other people.

American scientists managed to move forward in addressing this problem by using transplantation "supercomputers" damaging cancer cells derived from donors.

Dr. Zheng Cui from the Medical School at Wake Forest University showed in laboratory experiments that immunotsity (cells responsible for immune reactions of the body. - Prim. Ed.) Among some people may be nearly 50 times more efficient in the fight against cancer than for other people.

Dr. Cui, whose work was published this week in the journal New Scientist, previously demonstrated that mouse cells, which are invincible for cancer, can be used in the treatment of neoplasms from other mice.

This makes it possible to use cancer cells resistant to the immune system - so-called granulocytes received from donors for repeated immune strengthening patient and potential cure.

The Office for Supervision of the quality of health foods and medicines to the United States (FDA) issued to Dr. Cui last week to permit injection of supercomputers granulocytes 22 patients.



Dr. Cui said: "We hope that this will help cure them. Our pre-study proved extremely successful."

"If this approach will prove at least half an equally successful in treating people as compared with experiments on mice, it may mean that half the patients will be cured or at least get another year or two full life."

"The need for this technology already exists, so if the method proves effective in treating people, we can save many lives and do so in the next two years."

Dr. Cui am sure that patients can already soon enjoy the fruits of the new method, since the technology of granulocytes is identical to that already used in clinics to obtain other components that make up the blood, such as plasma or platelets.

Professor Gribben, immunology-oncologist from the British pilot research center at St. Bartholomew Hospital in London, said:

"The concept of using cells of the immune system to fight cancer is very promising."

Dr. Cui, who last week presented its latest developments at a conference on gerontology at Cambridge, received granulocytes from the body 100 people, including those suffering from cancer.



When immunnotsity were mixed with cells affected cervical cancer received from different people, their ability to kill cancer education has increased dramatically.

The most "powerful" members experiment "struck" almost 97% of cancer cells during the day, while the weakest massacred with only 2%.

"Anticancer" potential cell experiment, participants older than 50 years has been below average, a potential already sick with cancer was even lower.

Dr. Cui noted that the ability of the immune system to suppress cancer cells may also depend on the level of stress and time of year.

Preliminary experiments also suggest the possibility of transplants granulocytes antirakovym with great potential in the body those who are already sick with cancer.

In 1999, Professor Cui and his colleagues found male mice, which proved totally resistant to deadly cancer cells of different types.

It was further established that the 2000 in 15 generations of mice, which occurred from the mice resistant to cancer, and 40% offspring inherited the immunity.

Regarding the immune system, some types of cells that provide "congenital immunity" protect the organism from the invasion of alien cells, while others learn to identify cells that threaten the body before they would "attack".

Scientists working on cancer vaccines, trying to stimulate the reaction of the immune system cells that require some prior exposure to these cells.

Last year, Dr. Cui made a sensation in the academic community-oncologists, when discovered that granulocyte cells are responsible for anti-immune mice - as they relate to cells, which operate automatically.

Professor Gribben said: "This is a surprise, since runs counter to our understanding of how immune cells fight cancer. This suggests that we are often biased in our conclusions."

Professor Cui imposed granulocytes from mice with a strong immunity, the body in normal mice and found that it could protect "normal" mouse cancer.

Even more striking result was that through this procedure passed the stage of disease remission, and then the animal was completely cured in a few weeks.

It is likely that the introduction of single cell organism makes most of mice resistant to cancer at all subsequent life.

Granulocytes previously used to fight infectious diseases, cancer patients because their immune system was weakened because of chemotherapy.

However, their effectiveness were ambiguous, as well as subjected to the procedure, patients with advanced disease.

Professor Gribben warns researchers in the United States on the observance of precautions to avoid falling into the body other immune system cells from a donor, growing by neoplasms in the body of the patient.

He added: "If they use living cells, there is the risk of reaction" against the transplantant master ", which can lead to irreversible consequences.

Dr. Cui said he is working to minimize that risk.

Cosmetics, like food, has a term of storage. But when it comes time to replace a cosmetic product? Masking means, mascara, liquid connections to the eye must be changed every 6 months. Сream tonal change means standing in a year. Shine for the lips, liquid foundation for make-up, cream and powder stored for 2 years. Contour pencils for eyes and lips, compact powder may be cosmetic on your table to 3 years.

Shelf life of beauty depends on how much water it contains. Water evaporates over time, but a means bacteria can begin to multiply. Water-based cosmetics are usually stored year. The exception is cosmetics for eyes: it is stored for 6 months.

Cosmetics port sooner if it improperly stored. Keep that on cosmetics do not get direct sunlight, do not act very low and very high temperatures. Always close lids tightly, do not let other people enjoy your cosmetics. All funds need to make-up store in a cool, dry, clean place.

At brushes for make-up, sponges, schipchikah for eyelashes, too, can settle the bacteria. They need to wash every week, and all that comes with eyes, you should wash more often.

Do not try to cosmetics in a store display cases. This is what happens most often infection through makeup. Another warning: expensive cosmetics kept as much as inexpensive.

South Korean scientists have proposed to abandon the traditional injectable influenza vaccine, replacing them with its incorporation under the tongue. Past their experiments on animals have shown that this method of vaccination not only deprived of unpleasant side effects, but also superior to traditional injections for efficiency.

Scientists from Seoul National University injected mouse for language alive and killed influenza vaccine. After several weeks gave animals inhale the potentially deadly flu virus concentrations.

According to head of research Sesila Cherkinski, all mice were protected against the virus. Moreover, imposed under the tongue vaccine stimulated not only the general immunity (stirred education protective antibodies in the blood) as a vaccine injection, but also provided local protective effect (leads to the formation of antibodies in the respiratory tract). The latter is especially important for disease prevention at the earliest stages, because flu viruses enter the body through the respiratory tract that is, stressed Cherkinski.

The introduction of a vaccine under the tongue eliminates the need for painful injections, and protects against complications such as inflammation at the injection site. In addition, this method allows for more people immunized, especially in remote areas, and does not require mandatory attendance medical specialist, said the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
