The sequence of cellular alterations in urinary bladder epithelium associated with uracil-induced reversible urolithiasis was investigated in male F344 rats. Initial changes were submucosal edema with occasional mucosal erosion or ulceration which appeared on Day 2 of uracil administration. Simple
Tegafur-uracil has been reported to have only minor adverse effects and is associated with liver injury in 1.79% of Japanese patients. The development of tegafur-uracil-induced hepatic fibrosis with portal hypertension is rare. Here, we report a case of a 74-year-old woman with rapidly developing
Although UFT 300 mg/m2/day and leucovorin 90 mg/day administered orally in divided doses administered every 8 hours for 28 days repeated every 35 days could be administered safely to patients with advanced hepatomas and good performance status, this combination and schedule has limited activity in
OBJECTIVE
Uracil and tegafur in a 4:1 molar concentration ratio (UFT; Bristol-Myers Squibb, Wallingford, CT) has broad anti-tumor activity for cancers arising from the gastrointestinal tract. However, there are no published data regarding the efficacy of leucovorin-modulated UFT in patients with

Dermatologists have many therapeutic options for the management of actinic keratoses (AK), in order to treat individual lesions or wider areas. Field cancerization is an area of sun-damaged skin, where visible and subclinical lesions co-exist, and is prone to the development of further AK lesions
Background: Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) is an X- linked recessive disorder and the most common error of the urea cycle, caused by the mutations in the OTC gene. Due to X-inactivation, 15-20% of female carriers present symptoms of OTCD at late onset. Early diagnosis of
Cysteinyl-leukotrienes (cysteinyl-LTs) exert a range of proinflammatory effects, such as constriction of airways and vascular smooth muscle, increase of endothelial cell permeability leading to plasma exudation and edema, and enhanced mucus secretion. They have proved to be important mediators in
