This study was designed to assess the role of leukocytes in rats subjected to splanchnic artery occlusion for 45 min followed by reperfusion (SAO shock). Leukopenia was induced by an intravenous injection of vinblastine (1 mg/kg) 72 h before SAO shock. Survival rate (within 6 h), plasma levels of
Bleomycin is sometimes at the origin of a Raynaud's phenomenon (RP). From the literature, there does not seem to exist a dose-dependent relationship. The phenomenon occurs early or late and often is resistant to various medications. The possible physiopathological mechanisms are: direct vascular
Contact microradiographic study and histological study were performed to investigate the sequential changes in the bone marrow after a large dose of vinblastine or colchicine administration. Rats were injected intravenously with various dose of vinblastine or colchicine. The following dynamic
Standard chemotherapy for disseminated germ cell tumors (GCT) cures most patients but causes considerable acute toxicity, including treatment-related death due to septicemia during neutropenia and pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, chronic and delayed toxicities, particularly Raynaud's phenomenon,
BACKGROUND
With the introduction of cisplatin-based chemotherapy, approximately 80% of patients with disseminated nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) of the testis can be cured. These treatments have been associated with considerable toxic effects. Numerous trials have been performed with the
A case of prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma in a 5-year-old boy is reported. He was brought to our clinic on Apr. 1, 1982 with complaints of pollakisuria and urethral pain. X-ray examinations revealed a huge intrapelvic tumor, and it was histopathologically diagnosed as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma with a
The binding of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) to a human osteogenic sarcoma cell line (Saos-2) was investigated. These cells express two types of receptors as determined by specific monoclonal antibodies. Vinblastine induced a down-modulation of these receptors weaker than the one produced by phorbol
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing-ligand (TRAIL/Apo-2 ligand) induces apoptosis in the majority of cancer cells without appreciable effect in normal cells. Here, we report the effects of TRAIL on apoptosis in several human breast cancer cell lines, primary memory epithelial cells, and
BACKGROUND
Mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisolone (MOPP) and doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine (ABVD) are well established first-line chemotherapy protocols for the treatment of Hodgkin's disease. The aim of this study was to try a new combination of drugs that
The interactions between leukopenia induced by vinblastine and the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin on the toxicity of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) were studied. When indomethacin was injected 60 min before the administration of recombinant TNF, it provided significant protection against rapid
Several studies suggest that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) is able to overcome drug resistance in tumors. Whether TNF is able to do so in tumor cell lines that are drug resistant due to a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene p53 is unclear. Therefore, we studied the in vitro cytotoxic effects
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate comparatively the effectiveness of a conservative approach to treatment, using two therapeutic schedules (with and without sodium thiosulfate (ST), so as to minimize necrosis due to drug extravasation and to avoid the need for reconstructive surgery.
Thirty-eight patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease were treated with a combination of cyclophosphamide, vinblastine, procarbazine, and prednisone (CVPP); the minimum period of observation for surviving patients was five years. Twenty-eight patients (74%) achieved complete remission; in 17 (61%),
Drug cerebral pharmacokinetics may be altered in the case of inflammatory diseases. This may be due to a modification of drug transport through the blood-brain barrier, in particular through drug interaction with the membrane efflux transporter, P-glycoprotein. The objective of this study was to
A case of massive fatal liver necrosis during chemotherapy for stage IVA Hodgkin's disease is described. A previously healthy 50-year-old male was given doxorubicin 25 mg/m2, bleomycin 10 mg/m2 and vinblastine 6 mg/m2 on days 1 and 14 of the cycle combined with dacarbazine 150 mg/m2 on days 1-5
