We used in vitro succinate dehydrogenase inhibition test (SDI test) to predict the combined effects of hyperthermia and irradiation on specimens of esophageal cancer obtained at endoscopy. The mean activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SD) after combined treatment of 6 Gy of irradiation and 43.0
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to determine whether whole body hyperthermia (WBH) could reduce oxidative stress in the striatum produced by 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP), a mitochondrial toxin that irreversibly inhibits succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), causing impairment of energy metabolism,
Hyperthermia combined with irradiation and chemotherapy was prescribed for patients with resectable (n = 88) and unresectable (n = 36) carcinoma of the esophagus. The histopathological effectiveness, and the long term results were compared between two groups of patients treated with
The influence of tsutsugamushi fever infection on the metabolism of blood lymphocytes of mice differing in susceptibility to Rickettsia tsutsugamushi and of rifampicine and tetracycline treatment was studied. In susceptible mice, the activity of oxidation-reduction processes in lymphocytes increased
We obtained evidence that the cytotoxic effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is augmented when the drug is given in combination with hyperthermia (HYP) and dipyridamole (DP). Nontoxic levels of DP enhanced the combined cytotoxicity of 5-FU and HYP against B16 melanoma and human tumor cells in vitro as
A comparison was made of muscle from two locations in both the longissimus and the semitendinous muscles of normal and malignant hyperthermia-susceptible swine. Serial frozen sections were stained for alkali-stable adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), phosphorylase, and the oxidative enzymes succinate
Enhancement of the cytotoxicity of mitomycin C (MMC) and carboquone (CQ) by hypoxia at elevated temperature was examined using the SDI test of mouse Sarcoma 180 and Ehrlich cells and clonogenic assay of HeLa cells. When Sarcoma 180 and Ehrlich cells were incubated at 43 degrees C for 2-10 h, the
The sunergic effects on sarcoma-180 (S-180) cells and on human malignant tumor cells between 1-hexylcarbamoyl-5-fluorouracil (HCFU), a lipophilic masked compound of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and hyperthermia were investigated. After the S-180 cells had been exposed to 77 microM of the drug for 3 days,
This study examined the effects of Adriamycin (ADR) (30 mg/m2), whole-body hyperthermia (WBH) (42 degrees C for 1 h), and the combination of the two (ADR plus WBH) on gastrointestinal and hematopoietic toxicity and the effects of WBH on ADR pharmacokinetics in the normal dog (n = 5/treatment group).
A 13 year-old girl with scoliosis and central core disease is reported. She was noted to have mild psychomotor developmental delay since early infancy. Scoliosis with minimal muscle weakness was noted at about five years old. The neurological examination disclosed absent knee jerk. The spine MRI
Mitochondrial diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders in which a primary mitochondrial dysfunction is proven by morphological, biochemical, and genetic examinations. The mitral valve has important function in the regulation of blood flow from one chamber to another. Often, the mitral valve
The effect was studied of chronic alcohol intake in the rat during pregnancy and lactation on the brown adipose tissue (BAT) in pups. The idea was to find a possible relationship to cot death since in some cot death victims increased amounts of BAT have been observed. Exposure to ethanol increased
The in vitro sensitivity to hyperthermia and radiation of esophageal cancer cells obtained from 50 patients was assayed by using the in vitro succinate dehydrogenase inhibition test, and the findings were correlated with data on DNA analysis. The DNA distribution patterns were grouped into types I,
Cell sensitivity to a constant magnetic field (CMF) of 100 = 200 Oe was studied on a fibroblast culture using time-lapse microfilming. It was expressed in the phasic development of the motility of cells, intracellular structures and inclusions: a short-term latent phase (10-15 min), an excitation
The sensitivity to heat and radiation of 22 rectal cancer tissues obtained at biopsy was studied using the in vitro succinate dehydrogenase inhibition test. The succinate dehydrogenase activity of tissue fragments was assayed after exposure at 43 degrees C (hyperthermia) for 20 hours, to radiation
