Simian virus 40 (SV40)-induced sarcomas and adenovirus 7-induced sarcomas (Adv-7) exhibit both specific tumor-specific transplantation antigens (TSTA) and cross-protective embryonic antigens at the cell surface in the LAK:LVG(SYR) strain of Syrian golden hamsters. Specific SV40 TSTA could be
Bumetanide is a potent diuretic drug which has some structural features in common with furosemide. The steady-state exchange of K+ and Cl- was investigated in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells treated with bumetanide. This agent did not alter the cellular content of K+ or Cl- but the self-exchange of both
Inhibition of leukocyte migration in agarose-agar was used as a probe for tumor-associated antigen in 3-M KCl solubilized extracts of gastric, colon, and lung cancers from humans. Twelve of 40 (30%) leukocyte preparations from gastric cancer patients, 10 of 21 (48%) from colon cancer patients, and 7
Extracts of L2C tumor cells stimulated in vitro production of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in peritoneal exudate cells from guinea pigs immunized with L2C tumor cells. Guinea pigs immunized with extracts of L2C tumor cells that were active in vitro (in the MIF assay) were completely
Leukocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) assays were performed to test whether peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) from patients with colorectal cancer could be inhibited from attachment to a glass surface when tumor-associated antigens (TAA) of human colorectal tumors were present. The assays were
For the purpose of analysis of cancer specific immune reactions in gynecological malignancies, Leucocyte Migration Inhibition Test (LMIT: agarose-plate method) has been examined with tumor extract. Tumor extracts as antigens were prepared from 27 cases of cervical cancer, 14 of ovarian cancer, 4 of
Exogenous insulin treatment has been shown to improve food intake and host weight of cachectic tumor-bearing (TB) rats, but the composition of the host weight gain has not been quantitated. Sixty-six Fischer 344 rats were randomized to seven groups: early nontumor-bearing (NTB) (n = 10) who
Peritumoral edema is a key stage in the infiltration and recurrence of glioma. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) increases the extent of peritumoral edema, which leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of PDT in treating glioma. The present study evaluated the effects of PDT combined with torasemide on
A pilot study was done using 19 patients with bladder cancer to test the efficacy of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum as a single agent to treat transitional cell carcinoma. Fourteen patients had stage D lesions, 3 patients had stage C and 2 patients had stage B tumors. The patients received 1 mg./kg.
This is a preliminary report that shows that supplemental potassium partially prevents 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) induction of tumors of the small intestine in Sprague-Dawley rats. Male rats were injected weekly with 20 mg DMH/kg body wt for 20 weeks. Potassium chloride was provided in the drinking
Although the oxidative stress and inflammation are closely related with breast cancer, there is no study directly examining the possible changes in vascular functions in the presence of breast carcinoma. The goal of the present study was to evaluate changes in vascular reactivity in tumor-bearing
OBJECTIVE
Immunocompromised patients with malignant tumor always lack of strong anti-tumor immune response, because the antigenicity of tumor cells is weak, and antigen-presenting cell function is low, so that can not be effectively presenting tumor antigens to the lymphocytes. Therefore, how to
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of resveratrol on cytokine levels and oxidative stress in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries.To induce intestinal I/R, the superior mesenteric artery was occluded for 30 min and then Leukocyte migration inhibition (LMI) assays were performed to detect cell-mediated immune reactions against tumor-associated antigens (TAA) of Ewing's sarcoma. With the use of crude antigen preparations obtained by 3M KCl extractions of fresh Ewing's sarcoma or of tissue culture cells derived from a
BACKGROUND
Curcuma xanthorrhiza is a native Indonesian plant and traditionally utilized for a range of illness including liver damage, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer.
OBJECTIVE
The study determined the effects of C. xanthorrhiza extracts (ethanol and aqueous) and their constituents (curcumene
