OBJECTIVE
We observed that two osteosarcoma cell lines from the same tumor displayed marked differences in their sensitivities to photodynamic therapy (PDT) with aminolevulinic acid hexyl ester (hALA-PDT). We investigated why these two closely related lines had different hALA-PDT sensitivities and
In this study, the effectiveness and mechanism of combination therapy of 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) with simultaneous hyperthermia (HT) on human-derived osteosarcoma in vivo were examined. A tumor model was prepared by subcutaneously implanting human osteosarcoma into
In the present study, we have investigated a combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and simultaneous hyperthermia (HT) on osteosarcoma (HOSM-1) cells, squamous cell carcinoma (KB) cells and fibroblasts (HF), including an assessment of the differences in the
During photodynamic therapy (PDT) both normal and pathological brain tissue, in close proximity to the light source, can experience significant temperature increases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-tumor effects of concurrent 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-mediated PDT and
BACKGROUND
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive selective therapy for a specific group of skin tumors.
OBJECTIVE
In this study we used a modified topical medication in which ethyleneamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) and dimethylsulphoxid (DMSO) were added to 5-aminolevulinic acid 20% (ALA)
The biological effects of ultrasound have been investigated vigorously for various applications including the thermal coagulation of tissues, the opening of tight junctions, and localized gene or drug introduction. The synergistic cell killing effect of ultrasound and porphyrin derivatives, the
delta-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficiency porphyria (ALAD porphyria, ADP) with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in a 69-year-old woman is reported. The patient was admitted to our hospital complaining of slight cough with low-grade fever, and treated with
We have recently reported that the content of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) apparently decreased in fever model rats, which were created by repeated injection of recombinant human interleukin-1beta (rhIL-1beta) into the cerebroventricle. To make clear the biochemical mechanism of the decreased CYP
The Authors describe the case of a non-Hebrew Italian girl suffering from short-lasting fever episodes, associated with abdominal colic, since the age of 3. The occurrence of acute arthrosynovitis during the last episode, at 12 years of age, clinically confirms the diagnosis of familial
BACKGROUND
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using 5-aminolevulinic acid is considered to be ineffective in the treatment of tumors with progression to the deep layer. Therefore, for such tumors, a method is required which can enhance the effectiveness of this therapy. We examined the anti tumor effect of
The interaction of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and hyperthermia is not well understood. In the present study, significant enhancement of tumor damage was observed after simultaneous application of ALA-PDT and IR-induced hyperthermia using a broad-band incoherent light
Oxidative stress-related changes in tumors upon localized hyperthermia (HT), 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) and their combination (ALA+HT) were examined after the observation that the antitumor effects of ALA-PDT could be significantly enhanced upon simultaneous
Heme synthesis was studied by measuring the activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid synthase (AmLev synthase) in granulocytes, the activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (AmLev dehydratase) and of uroporphyrinogen I synthase in erythrocytes as well as the concentrations of coproporphyrin
The safety of drugs in hepatic porphyrias has largely been established by clinical experience, which is very limited in the case of antineoplastic agents. We administered three cycles of polychemotherapy consisting of daunorubicin, cytarabine and 6-thioguanine, and modified supportive care to a
To validate and analyze the results of intralesional photodynamic therapy in the treatment of complex anal fistula.This prospective multicentric observational study enrolled patients treated for complex anal fistula who underwent intralesional photodynamic
