<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">The //Cornussanguinea// is a deciduous multi-stemmed shrub that is native to North America and grows 6 to 15 feet tall. It’s simple, smooth-edged opposite leaves have prominent lateral veins that curve toward the tip. Unlike many dogwoods, the Cornus sanguinea produces no large, showy bracts. Its scented, white flowers are small and flat-topped and are in blossom from May to June. Autumn ushers in the ripening of its purplish black fruit, and the grey green twigs and stems seen on a mature Cornus sanguinea turn blood red in fall.

<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">The wood of the shrub is highly prized for its toughness and hardness. It has been used for making small items such as tool handles and shuttles of looms. The flexibility of its young stems makes it of excellent use in basketry. Other uses include charcoal, dye, fuel, hedge, oil, wood.

<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">**Phytosociology**: The red flamboyant color of this vascular plant is analogous to the human cardiovascular and blood systems. The common names of the Cornus Sanguinea include the “Blood twig dogwood.”

DIC is a disorder of the "clotting cascade." It results in depletion of clotting factors in the blood. Dogwood reduces blood clots and prevents thrombosis, and works on the platelets as in Plavix (clopidogrel bisulfate). Stimulates Bone Marrow production. Chemoprevention against hepatocellular carcinoma, anti-neoplastic effects. Will also prevent in cancer associated predisposition to pulmonary emboli. **Increase SOD activity of blood cells, counteract lipid peroxide.** //**Morroniside an iridoid glycoside**// : Antioxidant; protects human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells against hydrogen peroxide-induced cytotoxicity.

These results suggest that morroniside has protective effects against oxidative stress-induced neurotoxic processes. Neuroblastoma is the most common extra cranial solid cancer in childhood and the most common cancer in infancy, with an annual incidence of about 650 new cases per year in the US. The cell line SH-SY5Y is a third generation neuroblastoma, cloned from SH-SY5, which is from SH-SY, which is from SK-N-SH. <span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">References: Eur J Pharmacol. 2009 Apr 17; Authors: Wang W, Sun F, An Y, Ai H, Zhang L, Huang W, Li L

High exposure to carbon tetrachloride can cause liver, kidney, and central nervous system damage. These effects can occur after ingestion or breathing carbon tetrachloride, and possibly from exposure to the skin. The liver is especially sensitive to carbon tetrachloride because it enlarges and cells are damaged or destroyed. Kidneys also are damaged, causing a buildup of wastes in the blood. If exposure is low and brief, the liver and kidneys can repair the damaged cells and function normally again. Effects of carbon tetrachloride are more severe in persons who drink large amounts of alcohol. It is widely used in fire extinguishers, as a precursor to refrigerants, and as a cleaning agent. Morroniside (iridoid glycoside) and Sweroside (secoiridoid glycosides) which are phytochemicals present in Dogwood buds have protective effects against oxidative stress-induced neurotoxic processes from exposure to substances used in chemotherapy, radiation treatment, drug therapies, certain drug abuse, and organ transplants, as well as exposure to heavy metals, certain foods and food additives, pesticides, industrial and/or cleaning solvents, cosmetics, and some naturally occurring substances. Sweroside can significantly counteract carbon tetrachloride CCl4- or D-galactosamine GALN-induced acute liver damages in both mice and rats, reduce ALT, AST, and ALP, and prevent splenomegaly caused by GALN poisoning cytoprotective effects.

Contact sensitization with DNCB has been used as a measure of cellular immunity. DNCB is also used as a reagent for the detection and determination of pyridine compounds. Dogwood isoflavones and ursolic acid shows strong inhibition effects on lymphopoiesis, transform, inhibition lymphokine-activated killer LAK birth and Interleukin-2, strong antagonize to reprobation effects of apparatus replant, boost formation of Serum Antibody IgG and IgM. Lymphopoiesis constitutes 5-20% of the bone marrow cells. The lymphocytes - as all hemopoietic cells are derived for the stem cell, which differentiates into cells common for the two lymphocytic series **(B and T-cells).** The cell divides into precursors pro-B and pre-T cells, which develop into the stage of the mature B- and T-lymphocyte. After antigen exposition the mature lymphocytes differentiate into intensive proliferative lymphocytes. They are capable of synthesis **immunoglobulins** and immunological memory cells. Excellent for night sweats.
