A phase II trial of thymidine and carboplatin for recurrent malignant glioma: a North American Brain Tumor Consortium Study.

Only registered users can translate articles

This phase II study in recurrent high-grade glioma evaluated the response rate, toxicities, and time to treatment failure of high-dose carboplatin modulated by a 24-h infusion of thymidine (75 g/m(2)). The trial was based on preclinical data and a prior phase I study ( J. Clin. Oncol. 17, 2922-2931,

Phase I evaluation and pharmacokinetic study of weekly iv thymidine and 5-FU in patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

A phase I study of weekly iv thymidine (TdR) and 5-FU was carried out in patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma using two dosage schedules. Schedule 1 employed a 3-hour infusion of TdR (6-8 g/m2/hour) followed immediately by a bolus of 5-FU (100-200 mg/m2). Schedule 2 used a slightly larger

Thymidine phosphorylase expression is associated with time to progression in patients receiving low-dose, docetaxel-modulated capecitabine for metastatic breast cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Preclinical data have indicated a synergistic interaction between docetaxel and capecitabine by means of taxane-induced up-regulation of thymidine phosphorylase (TP). On the basis of such premises, we conducted a phase II trial to determine the activity and tolerability of weekly

Immune responsiveness in chronic fatigue syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have endeavoured to find immunological indications of chronic virus infection in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (myalgic encephalomyelitis) and to investigate immune responsiveness to viruses in such patients in comparison with normal subjects and patients with muscular dystrophy. Levels

Primary cortisol resistance associated with a thermolabile glucocorticoid receptor in a patient with fatigue as the only symptom.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have studied a woman with an apparent receptor-mediated resistance to cortisol on the basis of elevated 24-h mean plasma cortisol levels and increased urinary free cortisol. Plasma ACTH concentrations were normal but she was resistant to adrenal suppression by dexamethasone. No stigmata of

An automated method for autoradiographic analysis of cultured Schwann cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

A semi-automated analysis system based on video image analysis was developed to count labelled and unlabelled nuclei of Schwann cells which had been exposed to tritiated thymidine followed by processing for autoradiography. A Model 3000 Image Analysis system (Image Technology Corporation, Deer Park,

Silicone-specific blood lymphocyte response in women with silicone breast implants.

Only registered users can translate articles

A blinded cross-sectional study was carried out with 99 women, 44 of whom had silicone breast implants. Group I consisted of 55 healthy volunteer women without breast implants; group II comprised 13 volunteer women with breast implants or explants who felt healthy; group III comprised 21 volunteer

Phase I/II trial evaluating combined radiotherapy and in situ gene therapy with or without hormonal therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer--a preliminary report.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To report the preliminary results of a Phase I/II study combining radiotherapy and in situ gene therapy (adenovirus/herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene/valacyclovir) with or without hormonal therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer. METHODS Arm A: low-risk patients (T1-T2a,

The syndrome of acquired glucocorticoid resistance in HIV infection.

Only registered users can translate articles

A certain number of HIV-infected patients (about 17% in our series) manifest symptoms of cortisol resistance--weakness, weight loss, hypertension, chronic fatigue and intense mucocutaneous melanosis--symptoms which are also typical of Addison's disease. The diagnosis of cortisol resistance is

A phase 2 randomized study of TAS-102 versus topotecan or amrubicin in patients requiring second-line chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer refractory or sensitive to frontline platinum-based chemotherapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

TAS-102 is an oral combination treatment comprised of an antimetabolite, trifluridine, a thymidine-based nucleoside analog, and tipiracil hydrochloride, at a molar ratio of 1:0.5. This antimetabolite has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials, including a global phase 3 trial in metastatic

Telbivudine for the management of chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Telbivudine (LdT) is an L-nucleoside that is structurally related to lamivudine. It is highly selective for hepatitis B virus (HBV) and inhibits viral DNA synthesis. LdT was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration on October 25, 2006, for the treatment of chronic HBV infection in

Combination therapy with capecitabine and interferon alfa-2A in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma: a phase II study.

Only registered users can translate articles

Capecitabine is a fluoropyrimidine carbamate capable of exploiting the high concentrations of thymidine phosphorylase in tumor tissue to achieve activation preferentially at the tumor site. Thymidine phosphorylase activity is high in renal cell carcinoma tissue. Interferon alfa has been proved to be

Radiofrequency-generated glow discharge treatment: potential benefits for polyester ligaments.

Only registered users can translate articles

This multicenter study has revealed that treating a woven polyethylene terephthalate (polyester) ligament with a radiofrequency (RF)-generated glow discharge (RFGD) produces marked benefits in terms of increased cell attachment and proliferation on the implant surface. In vitro tests of the same

Anabolic steroids increase exercise tolerance.

Only registered users can translate articles

The influence of an anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) on thymidine and amino acid uptake in rat hindlimb skeletal muscles during 14 days after a single exhaustive bout of weight lifting was determined. Adult male rats were divided randomly into Control or Steroid groups. Nandrolone decanoate was

[Thyroid hormone resistance. Clinical, biochemical and genetic study of a family].

Only registered users can translate articles

We here present a family where three individuals in three generations had varying degrees of goiter, tachycardia, fatigue, hyperactivity, and learning disability. Serum T3 and free T4 were elevated, whereas TSH was normal or slightly increased. The clinical findings in combination with the hormone
