[ALOCHONA] Green tea



Green tea 'can block cancer'
Green tea
Green tea may block cancer
Green tea's ability to fight cancer is even more potent and varied than scientists suspected, research suggests.

Scientists already know that green tea contains anti-oxidants which may have a protective effect against cancer.

But now they have discovered that chemicals in the tea also shut down a key molecule which can play a significant role in the development of cancer.

It's likely that the compounds in green tea act through many different pathways
Professor Thomas Gasiewicz
The molecule, known as the aryl hydrocarbon (AH) receptor, has the ability to activate genes - but not always in a positive way.

Tobacco smoke and dioxins, in particular, disrupt the functioning of the molecule and cause it to trigger potentially harmful gene activity. The researchers, from Rochester University, found that two chemicals in green tea inhibit AH activity.

Similar compounds

Both chemicals are similar to compounds called flavonoids, which are found in broccoli, cabbage, grapes and red wine, and which are also known to help prevent cancer.

Researcher Professor Thomas Gasiewicz said: "Green tea may work differently than we thought to exert its anti-cancer activity. "It's likely that the compounds in green tea act through many different pathways."

The Rochester team showed that the chemicals shut down the AH receptor in cancerous mouse cells. Early results indicate the same is true in human cells.

However, the scientists say that the results in the laboratory do not necessarily translate to everyday life as the crucial factor is how green tea is broken down inside the body.

In addition, there are a lot of differences between various types of green tea. Dr Julie Sharp, a science information office at Cancer Research UK, said: "This research describes additional properties of green tea that may be beneficial but which have yet to be tested properly.

"The causes of cancer are complex and both diet and our genetic make-up act together to influence our risk of developing the disease.

"Cancer Research UK is currently involved in a large-scale study of diet and health that is researching the eating habits of over half a million people in 10 European countries to try and help unravel this complexity."

Research has also suggested that green tea may help to reduce the risk of rheumatoid arthritis and to lower cholesterol levels. The research is published in the journal Chemical Research in Toxicology.

Green tea extract 'is cancer aid'

Green tea has been linked with a series of health benefits
A green tea extract may help patients with a form of leukaemia, a study says.

The tea, discovered in China nearly 5,000 years ago, has long been thought to have health benefits.

But the team from the Mayo Clinic in the US found it appeared to improve the condition of four patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).

Experts said the Leukaemia Research journal study was interesting but more research was needed. CLL is a blood and bone marrow cancer which affects white blood cells and is the commonest type of leukaemia with over 3,000 new cases - mainly in the over 60s - diagnosed each year in the UK.

Green tea has long been thought to have cancer-prevention capabilities. It is exciting that research is now demonstrating this agent may provide new hope for CLL patients
Tait Shanafelt, report author

It is called chronic leukaemia because it progresses more slowly than acute leukaemia with some patients living for decades with the disease.

As there is no known cure, doctors have traditionally not intervened in the early stages of the disease to see how it develops, before moving on to traditional forms of cancer treatment such as chemotherapy.

But the Mayo researchers decided to try green tea after a test tube study in 2004 showed it killed leukaemia cells. Four CLL patients being treated at the clinic took green tea extract tablets containing epigallocatechin gallate, an antioxidant thought to fight cancer cells.

Doctors

Within a few months, doctors realised that three out of four patients were showing signs of the cancer regressing. The fourth patient also showed a slight improvement, but it was not judged to be clinically relevant.

Report author Tait Shanafelt said: "Green tea has long been thought to have cancer-prevention capabilities. It is exciting that research is now demonstrating this agent may provide new hope for CLL patients.

"The experience of these individuals provides some suggestion that our previously published laboratory findings may actually translate into clinical effects for patients with this disease." But he warned more research was needed to prove the findings on a larger scaled and whether there were any side effects.

Ken Campbell, clinical information officer at the Leukaemia Research Fund, said: "The findings are interesting, but we cannot say yet this is a new treatment for cancer. "We need to carry out a large scale, controlled trial to see if the findings hold true."


 
Cancer hope for green tea extract
 
Green tea
Green tea has been linked with a series of health benefits
A chemical extracted from green tea could help scientists to develop new drugs to fight cancer.

Tests by UK and Spanish researchers showed polyphenol EGCG taken from green tea leaves inhibits cancer cell growth.

The effect was seen even at low concentrations, equivalent to drinking two or three cups of green tea a day.

However, the study, published in Cancer Research, also found high concentrations of the chemical may increase the risk of birth defects.

We may be able to develop new anti-cancer drugs based on the structure of the EGCG molecule
Professor Roger Thorneley

Previous research has suggested that drinking green tea helps to cut the risk of certain forms of cancer.

The latest study found that EGCG binds to a key enzyme - dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) - that is targeted by established anti-cancer drugs.

This stops the enzyme from triggering the manufacture of new DNA in tumour cells. It appears to work in the same way as the cancer drug methotrexate - but in practice would probably have fewer side effects.

Drug development

Professor Roger Thorneley, from the John Innes Centre in Norwich, conducted the research with team from the University of Murcia in Spain.

He said: "This is a very exciting discovery. For the first time we have a clear scientific explanation of why EGCG inhibits the growth of cancer cells at concentrations which are found in the blood of people who drink two or three cups of green tea a day.

"We have identified the enzyme in tumour cells that EGCG targets and understand how it stops this enzyme from making DNA. "This means we may be able to develop new anti-cancer drugs based on the structure of the EGCG molecule."

Fellow researcher Dr Jose Neptuno Rodriguez-Lopez said: "We decided to look at EGCG because we recognised that its structure is very similar to that of the successful anti-cancer drug methotrexate.

"We discovered that EGCG can kill cancer cells in the same way as methotrexate. "However, because EGCG binds to the target enzyme less tightly than methotrexate, it should have decreased side effects on healthy cells."

Fewer side effects

Dr Rodriguez-Lopez said the researchers were now using EGCG as the starting point to design and develop effective new anti-cancer drugs that kill tumour cells but inflict less damage on healthy cells.

Previous studies have also linked high levels of green tea consumption around the time of conception and during pregnancy with an increased incidence of neural tube defects such as spina bifida.

These defects are associated with a lack of the key nutrient folic acid. The scientists said EGCG in green tea would be expected to cause a significant drop in folic acid levels.

Green tea could cut arthritis risk

Green tea is thought to have many health benefits
Drinking green tea could help keep arthritis at bay, say scientists.

The tea, first discovered in China nearly 5,000 years ago, has long been thought to be beneficial to health. It has been linked to preventing coronary heart disease, stroke and certain types of cancer.

But now researchers in Sheffield have found that two compounds found in green tea, EGCG (epigallocatchin gallate) and ECG (epicatechin gallate) can help prevent osteoarthritis by blocking the enzyme that destroys cartilage.

Benefits

Dr David Buttle, of the University of Sheffield, said laboratory tests showed the benefits of regular green tea consumption. "Green tea should be drunk as a prophylactic to prevent disease.

"If you have fairly severe joint damage it may be too late to do anything about it, but if you spend decades of your life drinking green tea in the end it may be beneficial."

Green tea should be drunk as a prophylactic to prevent disease

Dr David Buttle

He said that one of the compounds EGCG had been shown specifically to protect the cartilage.

"We have shown that EGCG protects cartilage destruction in test-tube models of cartilage loss that mimic what happens in the arthritic joint, and work by others suggests that EGCG reduces joint swelling and pain. "We now need to do more tests. and then further work on human volunteers."

Research

Sheffield University, where Dr Buttle works, has now taken out a patent for the use of EGCG in treating osteoarthritis. The Arthritis Research Campaign, which partly funded the research, said the initial results were promising.

A spokeswoman said: "Dr Buttle's findings are of great interest, and although further research needs to be done, in the mean time people should drink green tea as it's not going to do them any harm - and may in fact do them a lot of good."

[ALOCHONA] Power Ministry finding India's conditions tougher than first thought



Power Ministry finding India's conditions tougher than first thought

Dhaka, June 20 (UNB) -Power Ministry officials are now finding the conditions set by India officials for Bangladesh to import power from them, as well as for setting up two coal-based power plants here, are significantly tougher than initially thought.

Bangladesh signed a number of memorandums of understanding (MoU) with India on January 3 this year, one of them on importing about 250 MW of electricity from the neighbouring country. It was also agreed to set up the two coal-based power plants under a joint venture between the two countries.

Each of the two plants will be of 650 MW capacity, with the first one being set up in Khulna, and the second one in Chittagong.

As per the agreement, the state-owned PDB will import electricity from India's state-owned NTPC, while the Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) will construct the required transmission lines to facilitate import in cooperation with its Indian counterpart, the PGCIL.

The coal-based power plants would be set up by the PDB in collaboration with the NTPC.

Following the agreement, the Indian side sent Bangladesh some detailed draft agreements on these two issues.

While scrutinising the drafts, Bangladeshi officials found most of the conditions set by the Indian side are tougher than what had been understood during the signing of the MoUs.

To deal with the matter, the Bangladesh government has already formed a high-powered advisory committee headed by Finance Minister AMA Muhith.

Planning Minister AK Khandaker, Prime Minister's Economic Affairs Advisor Dr. Mashiur Rahman and Prime Minister's Advisor Dr. Towfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury are other members of the advisory committee, which has been set up at the Finance Ministry.

To tackle these hurdles from the Indian side while finalising the draft agreements, the Power Ministry official stoday (Sunday) met the members of the advisory committee at the finance ministry.

Power and Energy Minister M Enamul Haque, Secretary Abul Kalam Azad and PDB Chairman ASM Alamgir Kabir, as well as other officials from the Power Division were present at the meeting.

After the meeting, Finance Minister AMA Muhith said the Power Ministry officials apprised the committee on the progress on each front.

"We discussed the nitty-gritty of the draft agreements offered by the Indian side," he told reporters after the meeting.

The finance minister, however, categorically denied the conditions set in the draft agreement offered by the Indian side are tougher than first thought.

But official sources said the advisory committee discussed the conditions and gave some directives to the Power Ministry officials to deal with the matter.

They said the Indians do not want to involve Bangladeshi officials in the operation and management of the transmission system for importing power, and neither in running the proposed power plants.

The sources also said, as per the MoU, a transmission line will be built from Baharampur in India to Bheramara in Bangladesh. The distance from Baharampur to Bangladesh border is 85 kilometres.

Initially, India will build the 85 km line at their own cost. But Bangladesh will gradually reimburse the cost. Until cost recovery, Bangladesh need not pay any wheeling charges for using the line. But after that, Bangladesh will have to pay wheeling charges to be fixed by the India side.

Secondly, the whole transmission system will be operated and controlled by the Indians.

Officials said that initially, India had agreed that the transmission line would be operated and managed jointly. But they are now backtracking on this.

Similarly, there are some disagreements over the equipment and systems to be used in the transmission line.

Bangladesh officials allege the Indian negotiators had proposed their own choices in this regard, which is not acceptable to Bangladesh as it would mean the whole project cost will ultimately be borne by Bangladesh.

Regarding operation and management of the coal-based power plants, the Indian side tagged a condition that these would remain in Indian hands, although the plants would be built as a joint venture. Moreover, the plant will be built on Bangladeshi territory.

The initial understanding was that although operation and management will remain in their hands in the beginning, gradually some Bangladeshi officials will be engaged in this. But now, the Indians are not being as flexible on this.

"This is definitely a tougher condition for Bangladesh, because they will be on Bangladeshi soil," said a Power Ministry official.

He also said, "We shall propose to engage our manpower in operation and management 5 years from the commissioning date of the plants." The total operation period of the plants will be 30 years.

"We want to develop and engage our people in the power plants along with Indians," the official told UNB preferring not to be quoted.

[ALOCHONA] Bangladesh: a new dark area for press freedom?



Bangladesh: a new dark area for press freedom?
 
Vincent Brossel

The recent developments in Bangladesh are like an old nightmare that is beginning again: arbitrary arrests, closure of news media, attacks on journalists by ruling party supporters, torture of detainees and intimidation. We thought Bangladesh had rid itself of the old demons of intolerance and violence against the media. But certain government and Awami League officials have again chosen the road of repression, dashing our hopes of a real commitment to media freedom in the space of just weeks.

If prime minister Sheikh Hasina does not take decisive steps, Bangladesh is likely to relapse into a period of brutality and intolerance similar to what it underwent at the start of the last decade, when the journalist Tipu Sultan had his hands broken by the supporters of an Awami League parliamentarian in Feni. Those Awami supporters, especially members of its youth movement, used steel bars and beatings to scare the press.

It is appalling that opposition newspaper editor Mahmudur Rahman has been mistreated in prison. It brings back memories of other journalists and intellectuals who have been tortured in prison such as Shahriar Kabir, F M Masum and Saleem Samad. It also raises the question whether security forces will ever be able to abandon such barbaric methods.

What justification is there for closing the privately-owned TV station Channel

1 after four years on the air? The fact that it was the telecommunications minister himself who announced the closure shows that it was a highly political decision. In this case, 400 employees have been put out of work. The political obstacles to Jamuna TV's launch are also shocking while The Bangladesh Observer's recent closure highlighted the difficulties of the print media.

We still have confidence in the judicial system, which must rapidly demonstrate its independence of both the politicians and the power of money by releasing Mahmudur Rahman, authorising the reopening of his daily, Amar Desh, and protecting the right to free expression.

When the BNP was in power, we repeatedly denounced the murders, illegal arrests, censorship and closure of E TV. When the caretaker government and army were in power, we condemned the acts of intimidation that encouraged censorship and the arbitrary arrests of journalists, especially those investigating extra-judicial executions. And now we condemn the dangerously hard line being taken by the current government, which is jeopardising the right to press freedom that Bangladesh's journalists have won at a great cost.

This country has a long history of repressing its media. Aside from colonial-era censorship, we recall the June 1974 crackdown on the press by then Awami League government. Then, in the past decade, more than 150 cases of physical attacks and death threats were registered every year – a record in the region. BNP or Awami League supporters were responsible for most of this violence. First Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (the BNP's student wing), then the Awami Jubo League and then the Bangladesh Chattra League all used violence to intimidate the press.

The fight against crime has reduced violence by armed groups and criminal gangs in the southwest of the country, including the Purba Bangla Sharbahara Party (PBSP), which was implicated in journalist Harun-ur-Rashid's murder, but the police continue to be very reluctant to arrest government supporters involved in violence.

We call for the media's unity in the face of these difficulties. When you defend press freedom, you defend journalists of all colours. This is a principle that is under threat. There is a need to speak out regardless of partisan considerations.

Instead of targeting the independent and opposition press, Sheikh Hasina's government should quickly reform the many laws that obstruct the work of the media and allow journalists and intellectuals to be thrown in prison in violation of Bangladesh's international undertakings.

[ALOCHONA] India's Dream, Bangladesh's Disaster



India's Dream, Bangladesh's Disaster

By John Vidal

Indian plans to divert vast quantities of water from major rivers, including the Ganges and Brahmaputra, threaten the livelihoods of more than 100 million people downstream in Bangladesh, the Bangladeshi government fears. Ministers are so concerned that they are considering appealing to the United Nations to redraft international law on water sharing.
The ambitious Indian plans to link major rivers flowing from the Himalayas and divert them south to drought-prone areas are still on the drawing board, but Bangladeshi government scientists estimated that even a 10% to 20% reduction in the water flow to the country could dry out great areas for much of the year.

More than 80% of Bangladesh's 20 million small farmers grow rice and depend on water that has flowed through India.

"The idea of linking these rivers is very dangerous.It could affect the whole of Bangladesh and be disastrous," said Hafiz Ahmad, the water resources minister. "The north of Bangladesh is already drying out after the Ganges was dammed by India in 1976. Now India is planning to do the same on [many of] the 53 other rivers that enter the country via India. Bangladesh depends completely on water."

The minister said the government had protested to India but had so far not had any response. "Without this water we cannot survive," he said. "If [rice] production falls then we would not know how to survive. We want no kind of war, but international law on sharing water is unsure and we would request the UN to frame a new law. It would be a last resort."

The Indian government is preparing to seek international funds for its giant river-linking project, intended to divert water from the north of the country to drought-prone southern and eastern states. Up to one third of the flow of the Brahmaputra and other rivers could be diverted to southern Indian rivers to provide 173bn cubic metres of water a year, supplying millions of people in Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka states with more reliable drinking and irrigation water.

But the plan - which could cost between £44bn and £125bn and take at least 14 years to implement, making it potentially the largest and most expensive water project in the world - would redraw the subcontinent's hydrological map with immense ecological and social consequences.

It involves building hundreds of reservoirs and digging more than 600 miles of canals. Preliminary estimates by environment groups suggest that more than 3,000 square miles of land could be flooded and 3 million people forced off their land.

India's national water development agency, which is backing the scheme, has said it will divert enough water to irrigate 135,000 square miles of farmland and produce 34,000 megawatts of hydroelectricity. However, much of the electricity would be needed to pump the water around.

"This could trigger a long-term disaster on the subcontinent and trigger bloodshed in the region," said Shashanka Saadi, of Action Aid Bangladesh.

Bangladesh already knows the consequences of India restricting its water. The Farakka barrage, built across the Ganges 11 miles from the Bangladeshi border in 1974, had at certain times of the year reduced by half the water that once flowed via the Ganges into Bangladesh, said Mr Ahmad.

"Great parts are turning into a desert, rivers have lost their navigability, salt water is intruding into farming areas. You can walk across the river Gori at some times of the year," said the minister.

Although the Indian and Bangladeshi governments have a water sharing agreement for the Ganges, there are none for the other 53 rivers that cross the border. Bangladeshi water engineers say that Indian barrages, canals, reservoirs and irrigation schemes are slowly strangling the country and are stopping its development.

Bangladesh, which is too flat for major reservoirs, says if India goes ahead with its schemes, it may have to build a network of expensive canals to irrigate large areas now fed naturally by the Brahmaputra.

"It would cost a huge amount of money, but we may need it to survive," said Mukhles uz Zaman, the director general of the Bangladesh water development board. "At the moment there is just about enough water for everyone, but the Indian plans could be disastrous. They would have catastrophic effects on Bangladesh's rice fields."

One of the most serious consequences of India's continuing search for irrigation water is expected to be the further drying out of the Sunderbans, the world's largest coastal forest, a world heritage site shared by India and Bangladesh and vital for fish. "The forest needs fresh water to survive. Because of the Farakka dam fresh water is not reaching there and the rivers are silting up rapidly. The trees are dying" said Mr Zaman.

Local people say the Farakka barrage has already changed millions of people's lives. "In eight to 10 years I believe that most of the Sunderbans will be silted up. The rivers flow far less than before the barrage was built, and it is getting worse every year," says Humayun Kabir, of Noapara, where a large river is now a small backwater and 6 metres (20ft) of silt has been deposited across thousands of hectares.

"These new Indian plans would finish the whole area."

[ALOCHONA] Tea and coffee 'protect against heart disease'



Tea and coffee 'protect against heart disease'

cup of tea It is still not clear what difference milk makes to the health benefits

Drinking several cups of tea or coffee a day appears to protect against heart disease, a 13-year-long study from the Netherlands has found. It adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting health benefits from the most popular hot drinks. Those who drank more than six cups of tea a day cut their risk of heart disease by a third, the study of 40,000 people found.

Consuming between two to four coffees a day was also linked to a reduced risk. While the protective effect ceased with more than four cups of coffee a day, even those who drank this much were no more likely to die of any cause, including stroke and cancer, than those who abstained.

The Dutch tend to drink coffee with a small amount of milk and black tea without. There have been conflicting reports as to whether milk substantially affects the polyphenols - believed to be the most beneficial substance in tea.

 
Having a cigarette with your coffee could completely cancel any benefitsEllen Mason British Heart Foundation Coffee has properties which could in theory simultaneously increase and reduce risk - potentially raising cholesterol while battling the inflammatory damage associated with heart disease.

But the study in the Journal of the American Heart Association finds those who drank between two and four cups a day lowered the risk of the disease by 20%. "It's basically a good news story for those who like tea and coffee. These drinks appear to offer benefits for the heart without raising the risk of dying from anything else," said Professor Yvonne van der Schouw, the lead researcher.

Ellen Mason, Senior Cardiac Nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "This study adds further weight to the evidence that drinking tea and coffee in moderation is not harmful for most people, and may even lower your risk of developing, or dying, from heart disease. "However, it's worth remembering that leading a healthy overall lifestyle is the thing that really matters when it comes to keeping your heart in top condition. "Having a cigarette with your coffee could completely cancel any benefits, while drinking lots of tea in front of the TV for hours on end without exercising is unlikely to offer your heart much protection at all."

Subject: "CHORER RANI" Khaleda Zia ; mother of all corruption

Hi "DUI NUMBER" Mahathir,
 
Your name is "DUI NUMBER" & your knowledge of understanding is also "DUI NUMBER" or may be number less! But your "knowledge of corruption" is "number one" like your favourite party & it's leaders.
 
Read this article:
 
A logical analysis of present & future political situation of Bangladesh by an experienced journalist:          The Daily Sangbad of 8.06.07
 
 
Have you any knowledge or a minimum knowledge about logic or judgment?
 
If some body (head of a Government) know some "illegal" thing and that is going to happen and if that "illegal" thing occurs and then that "some body (head of the Government)" is not involved with that "illegal" thing!
 
What a logic!
 
What Khaleda was doing when she and her sons, brothers, relatives, "boy friend"s Falu & Harris Chou, her Cabinet Members, her party MPs, leaders were stealing money, property right & left?
 
According to Vanu's joke, "She was observing and observing and then thinking what is going to happen !"
 
That is why she is called "mother of all corruption".
 
Do you know how many complains are yet raised, published in the news papers against her? If you do not know, then see my previous e-mail regarding the corruption of your favourite leader, "CHORER RANI" Khaleda Zia.
 
It is definitely a world record!
 
 
Asad
