OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of a new 10B-compound (TX-2100) as a 10B-carrier in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), compared with the simultaneous use of its component drugs, sodium borocapate-10B (BSH) and 3-amino-2-quinoxalinecarbonitrile 1,4-dioxide (TX-402). Further, the usefulness of

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of combined treatment with both continuous administration of a hypoxic cytotoxin, tirapazamine (TPZ) and mild temperature hyperthermia (MTH) in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) in terms of local tumor response and lung metastatic potential, referring to

C3H/He mice bearing SCC VII tumours received 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) continuously for 5 days via implanted mini-osmotic pumps, to label all proliferating (P) cells. 20 min after intraperitoneal injection of sodium borocaptate-10B (BSH), or 3 h after oral administration of

The shortcomings in Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and Hyperthermia for killing the tumor cell desired for the synthesis of a new kind of material suitable to be first used in BNCT and later on enable the conditions for Hyperthermia to destroy the tumor cell. The desire led to the synthesis of

We studied the sensitivity against heavy ion beam and hyperthermia on radioresistant procaryote, Deinococcus radiodurans, for the purpose of cancer therapy. First, we examined the decrease of the survival rate and molecular weight of DNA purified from this cell by acid heat treatment. These

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the potential of a newly developed (10)B-containing alpha-amino alcohol of p-boronophenylalanine-(10)B (BPA), p-boronophenylalaninol (BPAol), as a boron carrier in boron neutron capture therapy. METHODS C57BL mice bearing EL4 tumors received 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU)

OBJECTIVE To examine the ability of pre- vs. post-irradiation hyperthermia to enhance the effectiveness of thermal neutrons to kill human glioblastoma cells. METHODS Human glioblastoma cell lines, T98G, A7, A172, and U 87MG, were exposed to thermal neutrons from the Kyoto University Research (KUR)

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of employing a (10)B-carrier and manipulating intratumour hypoxia on local tumour response and lung metastatic potential in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) by measuring the response of intratumour quiescent (Q) cells. METHODS B16-BL6 melanoma tumour-bearing

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of bevacizumab on local tumor response and lung metastatic potential during boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and in particular, the response of intratumor quiescent (Q) cells. B16-BL6 melanoma tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice were continuously

A multi-stimuli responsive nanoagent, hydroxy boron nitride nanosheets and Pd nanohybrids (Pd@OH-BNNS), was studied. The well-dispersed hydroxy boron nitride nanosheets were prepared via a facile thermal substitution approach. Pd@OH-BNNS was endowed with a photothermal property after in situ

One of the greatest challenges of nanoparticle cancer therapy is the delivery of adequate numbers of nanoparticles to the tumor site. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have many favorable qualities, including their nontoxic composition, the wide range of diameters in which they can be produced, the

C57BL mice bearing EL4 tumors and C3H / He mice bearing SCC VII tumors received 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) continuously for 5 days via implanted mini-osmotic pumps to label all proliferating (P) cells. Three hours after oral administration of l-p-boronophenylalanine-(10)B (BPA), or 30 min after

The presence of nanoparticles lowers the levels of ultrasound (US) intensity needed to achieve the therapeutic effect and improves the contrast between healthy and pathological tissues. Here, we evaluate the role of two main mechanisms that contribute to the US-induced heating of aqueous suspensions
