starch/sarcoma

A reliable liver metastasis model using intraportal injections of sarcoma cells was established in syngeneic hooded Lister rats to study the blood supply of the tumours and to evaluate the role of degradable starch microspheres (DSM) in conjunction with selective hepatic arterial and portal venous

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a rare cutaneous tumor caused by human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8) infection that preferentially develops in case of severe immunosuppression, such as in HIV/AIDS disease. Haptoglobin (Hp), a polymorphic multifunctional plasma protein, exerts several immunomodulatory effects and

Both biodegradable emboli and pharmacological agents can enhance regional therapy for hepatic targeting. Using a rat model with similar haemodynamic characteristics to human colorectal liver tumour and a radio-labelled marker of similar molecular weight to Adriamycin, we have combined the two

A strain of Gram negative bacteria was isolated from the surface soil of Wuying Hill at Jinan, Shandong province with Gause's medium in 1973. It is a strain of antagonistic bacteria for hysterocervicoma, hepatoma and melanoma of mice screened from 2100 strains of bacteria. It is also antagonistic to

Peritoneal macrophages from Sarcoma-180-bearing mice against Staphylococcus aureus were studied to determine the in vitro phagocytic capacities. When the phagocytic system was opsonized with normal mouse serum, macrophage phagocytic activity increased markedly soon after tumour graft and then

The experience of 13 bone marrow processings is reported: 7 patients were affected by Acute Leukemias, 4 by Non Hodgkin's Lymphomas, 1 by Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in complete remission after induction chemotherapy, 1 by Ewing's Sarcoma. Gravity sedimentation technique with 6% hydroxyethyl starch

Thorotrast, a patented radiological contrast medium that was widely used from 1930-1950, is a thorium dioxide colloid that has been neutralized and stabilized by protective colloids, which are decomposition products of starch, and which are now generally known as dextrans. The deposition of

BACKGROUND Isolated lung perfusion (ILuP) with melphalan (MN) is superior to intravenous infusion for the treatment of pulmonary carcinoma and sarcoma metastases. However, it is unknown whether a bolus injection of MN into the perfusion circuit or ILuP with a fixed concentration of MN will result in

Orthotopic liver transplantation was performed in a 49-year-old man with metastatic liver sarcoma. After surgery, both abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and capillary leak syndrome (CLS) developed. Exploratory laparotomy and colon exteriorization were performed. Five days later, a diagnosis of

An adenovirus-5 recombinant virus Adapt1 carrying the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (aprt) gene was constructed by insertion of a 2.5-kb fragment containing the complete CHO aprt structural gene linked to a Moloney murine sarcoma virus (MSV) promoter into the E3

It has been demonstrated that tumours do not appear after subcutaneous transplantation of small amounts (10(2), 2 X 10(2] of AD-12 sarcoma cells to intact hamsters, whereas tumours do appear in 53-72% of hamsters inoculated with starch suspension prior to transplantation of the same amounts of

Aspergillus giganteus MDH 18894 was found to produce alpha sarcin, a new antitumor agent inhibitory to a number of different animal tumors. This culture produced culture filtrates that inhibited mouse sarcoma 180 at dilutions up to 1:32. Optimal fermentation conditions were established for shake
