arabinoside/dental caries

Sixty-two patients with refractory ovarian carcinoma or other malignancies principally confined to the peritoneal cavity were treated with an intraperitoneal combination chemotherapy regimen consisting of cisplatin (100 mg/m2 or 200 mg/m2) and cytosine arabinoside (4 X 10(-3) mol/L or 10(-2) mol/L).

Thirty-one patients with refractory ovarian cancer and other malignancies principally confined to the abdominal cavity were treated with an intraperitoneal combination-chemotherapy regimen consisting of cisplatin (100 to 200 mg/m2), cytosine arabinoside (10(-4) to 10(-3) mol/L) and doxorubicin (2 to

Ovarian cancer tends to remain confined to the peritoneal cavity even after widespread dissemination. In order to test the in vitro cytotoxic effect of cis-platinum (CP) and cytosine arabinoside (ara-C), a combination which, in theory, is particularly suitable for intraperitoneal (IP)

Thirty-three patients with microscopically verified primary or metastatic malignant pleural effusion were studied: 7 had malignant mesothelioma and 26 metastatic pleural disease. The treatment was based on biochemical and clinical studies which show a synergy between cytosine-arabinoside (Ara-C) and

Liposomes containing cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) release drug slowly and can be used to maintain a locally high concentration of ara-C in the peritoneal cavity for intracavitary chemotherapy. However, a significant amount of active drug does reach the systemic circulation and contributes to

Suckling mice were injectd with 30 or 50 mg cytosine arabinoside/kg body weight 2, 3 and 4 days after birth. Within 6 h after the first injection, a number of pyknotic nuclei were found at the inner portion of the undifferentiated nuclear layer of the retinas. 24 h after the final injection, the

Experiments were conducted with biodegradable microspheres containing antimetabolites to assess the release of the drugs from the microspheres into the vitreous cavity of primates. Microspheres containing a mixture of radiolabeled and cold cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) were

15 patients with primary or metastatic pleural effusion were studied: 2 had diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma and 13 of metastatic pleural disease. The treatment used was based on in vitro and in vivo studies which show a synergy between ARA-C and Cisplatin. These drugs were instilled in pleural

Complete inhibition of growth of sensitive L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells in culture was obtained with 10(-3)M ouabain, 1.65 X 10(-3)M thymidine, 1.8 X 10(-4)M thioguanine and 10(-6)M cytosine arabinoside. The toxicity of methotrexate was dependent upon cell density and this compound was excluded from

An experimental model of herpetic infection based on intranasal challenge of 12-day-old mice with herpes simplex virus (type 1) has been developed for assessment of the efficacy of a variety of antiviral compounds with clinical potential: cytosine arabinoside, adenine arabinoside, iododeoxyuridine,

Burkitt's lymphoma is a rare disease that belongs to the aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Herein, we report a case of primary hepatic Burkitt's lymphoma. A 19-year-old man visited the hospital for right upper quadrant pain. He felt fatigue for two months. Physical examination revealed hepatomegaly

Following rapid development of chemotherapy to leukemia, reports about tumor-forming-leukemia are on the increase. But ovarian tumor-forming-leukemia is relatively rare, hence not enough is known about it. Recently, the authors experienced a case of young woman with recurrent leukemia which

A 70-year-old woman developed acute leukemia and a serum IgM spike. She entered complete remission with an adriamycin, vincristine, cytosine arabinoside, and prednisone combination. Bone marrow remission was maintained with intermittent cytosine arabinoside; however, she developed large skin nodules

The Central Nervous System has often been classified as a "drug sanctuary" as most anticancer drugs do not achieve effective penetration of the blood-brain barrier. With more effective systemic chemotherapy programs (especially in acute leukemia in children), the incidence of meningeal tumor

Many antineoplastic drugs in use now have cytotoxic side effects that also manifest in the oral cavity or influence dental management. Chemotherapeutic agents that have a high potential for precipitating oral mucosal damage and bone marrow depression are methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, daunorubicin,
