Omar, Mai F. Tolba Benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) is among the most common diseases with a huge impact on the quality of life of elderly men. There is a current need for the development of well-tolerated and effective preventive strategies to improve clinical outcomes. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is an important natural active ingredient isolated from honey-bee propolis, which can guard against BPH in rats. The protection afforded by CAPE is due to its ability to counteract the abnormal increase in prostate cells' growth, in addition to opposing inflammation and oxidative stress. 553 Discriminating Gastric Cancer and Gastric Ulcer Using Human Plasma Amino Acid Metabolic Profile Fangyu Jing, Xin Hu, Yunfeng Cao, Minghao Xu, Yuanyuan Wang, Yu Jing, Xiaodan Hu, Yu Gao, Zhitu Zhu Metabonomics is a new technique for quantifying low molecular weight metabolites metabolized by organisms at specific times in specific environmental conditions. Metabolic disorders are key events in the development and progression of carcinoma, which are regarded as a hallmark of cancer. Amino acids are fundamental materials of metabolism for almost all types of cells. The alterations in amino acid metabolic profile show a correlation with gastric cancer. Our study found that the disturbed metabolic pathways of amino acids in gastric cancer patients included tricarboxylic acid cycle, urea cycle and biosynthesis of one carbon unit, which indicated that they could play certain roles in pathogenesis of gastric cancer.
