This is the first report demonstrating hormonal control of cAMP levels in Ewing's sarcoma cells. Two classes of hormones, beta-adrenergic agonists and prostaglandins stimulate cAMP production in cultured Ewing's sarcoma cells. The efficacy order for beta-adrenergic agonists is (-)-isoprenaline
The antitumor effect of common nonspecific adaptation reactions of training and activation, obtained by small doses of adrenaline, was studied in the experiments on white rats with sarcoma 45,3,4-benz/a/-pyrene induced tumors and Biskind ovary tumor. Total resorption of the tumor was noted in all
The history of a 6-year-old girl with a tumor originating from thoracic spine and finally becoming resistant to surgery, radio-, and chemotherapy is reported. Tumor-biopsy material was studied by light and electron microscopy, in cell culture, by acetylcholinesterase ultracytochemistry, and by
Similar distortion of hypertensive response to epinephrine occurred in sarcoma-45-bearing rats, Walker carcinosarcoma-bearing rats, and hepatectomized rats. The response in the last-named was distorted on the 3rd postoperative day. The hypertensive response to epinephrine was restored after the
BACKGROUND
Resection of pelvic and sacral tumors can cause severe blood loss, complications, and even postoperative death. Hypotensive epidural anesthesia has been used to mitigate blood loss after elective arthroplasty, but to our knowledge, it has not been studied as an approach that might make
The effect of alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents on endotoxin-induced release of tumour necrosis factor (TNF), and of interferon in the circulation of Corynebacterium parvum-treated mice was the subject of this study. TNF was quantified after injection of TNF containing heated serum (TNS)
To estimate a possible role of vasoamines in the antitumor action of endotoxin, effects of isoproterenol, serotonin and adrenaline on subcutaneously transplanted murine Meth A sarcoma and the capacity of these agents to elicit antitumor factors were studied. Macroscopically all agents induced tumor
The activity of MAO (EC 1.4.3.4) was measured in liver homogenates of mice with experimental tumours Sarcoma S-180 and Leukemia L-1210. The enzyme activity was determined by two methods: spectrophotometric--with benzylamine as a substrate and the second with the application of oxygen electrode and
