A cohort of 1971 chemical workers licensed to handle ethylene oxide was followed up retrospectively from 1940 to 1984 and the vital status of each subject was ascertained. No quantitative information on exposure was available and therefore cohort members were considered as presumably exposed to
The mortality and incidence of cancer in three groups of workers with occupational exposure to ethylene oxide have been assessed. Eight cases of leukemia have occurred among 733 ethylene oxide-exposed workers compared with an expected 0.8 cases. Six cases of stomach cancer have been reported
Mutagenicity tests have shown that the potencies of ethylene oxide and other alkylating agents relative to that of low-LET ionising radiation are approximately the same in different biological systems. In the present study this relationship, the radiation-dose equivalence ("rad-equivalence") of
Ethylene oxide and propylene oxide block copolymers (pluronics) are widely known as agents that promote drug penetration across biological barriers. We have studied the interaction of normal and malignant blood cells with pluronics L61 and P85 that have different hydrophobicity. SP2/0 myeloma cells
A representative poly(beta-amino ester) (PbAE) with biodegradable and pH-sensitive properties was used to formulate a nanoparticle-based dosage form for tumor-targeted paclitaxel delivery. The polymer undergoes rapid dissolution when the pH of the medium is less than 6.5 and hence is expected to
Quantitative estimates of cancer risks from ethylene oxide (ETO) residues were constructed based on 200 retail samples of various spices in New Zealand. Two samples of cinnamon contained detectable ETO. The highest value encountered was 15 ppm. ETO was not detected in the remaining 198 samples.
For the first time, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey released data on ethylene oxide (ETO) into public domain for US children aged 6-11 years, adolescents aged 12-19 years, and adults aged ≥ 20 years for 2013-2016. This study was undertaken to evaluate the associations between
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy and lack of systemic toxicity of paclitaxel when administered in pH-sensitive poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-modified poly(beta-amino ester) (PbAE) nanoparticles in mice bearing human ovarian adenocarcinoma (SKOV-3)
OBJECTIVE
This study was carried out to determine the biodistribution profiles and tumor localization potential of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-modified poly(beta-amino ester) (PbAE) as a novel, pH-sensitive biodegradable polymeric nanoparticulate system for tumor-targeted drug delivery.
METHODS

Intestinal toxicity and low levels of systemic drug exposure are among the major problems associated with tumour therapy. We have developed poly (ethylene oxide)-poly (propylene oxide)-poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) micelles loaded with irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11) hoping to
Vesicles composed of block copolymers (i.e., polymersomes) are one of the most versatile nano-carriers for medical purposes due to their tuneable physicochemical properties and the possibility to encapsulate simultaneously hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances, allowing, for instance, the
An intrinsic property of many anticancer drugs including niclosamide is poor water solubility, which hindered their translation from laboratory to clinics. In an effort to enhance their water solubility and bioavailability, we have developed simplistic strategies based on the solvent evaporation and
Constitutive activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in tumor cells and tumor associated dendritic cells (DCs) plays a major role in the progression of cancer. JSI-124 (cucurbitacin I) is a potent inhibitor of STAT3; however, its poor solubility and nonspecificity
An arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) containing model peptide was conjugated to the surface of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PCL) micelles as a ligand that can recognize adhesion molecules overexpressed on the surface of metastatic cancer cells, that is, integrins,
This study was carried out to evaluate and compare the biodistribution profile of tamoxifen when administered intravenously (i.v.) as a simple solution or when encapsulated in polymeric nanoparticulate formulations, with or without surface-stabilizing agents. Tamoxifen-loaded, poly(ethylene
