vinblastine/dental caries

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

A patient with Kaposi's sarcoma of the oral cavity is reported. The intralesional use of vinblastine may be an effective treatment for small Kaposi's sarcoma lesions of the mouth or the skin that are painful or create cosmetic problems.

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), is the most frequent malignant neoplasm associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Classically arising in the skin, mucosal lesions are seen in 50 percent in oral cavity. KS rarely involves the larynx (37 cases have been reported in the world literature), when

OBJECTIVE To explore whether the combined radiochemotherapy with Vinblastine, Methotrexate, and Bleomycin could be an effective alternative treatment to surgery in verrucous carcinoma (VC) of the head and neck. METHODS Combined radiochemotherapy was used in 12 patients with previously untreated VC.

The therapeutic effects of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy administered by two-route infusion of cisplatin and its antidote, sodium thiosulfate, and intravenous infusion of vinblastine and peplomycin were studied in 22 patients with previously untreated squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity or

The antimitotic drug vinblastine (Vbl) has a profound impact upon the specifically sensitized lymphocytes that transfer cellular resistance to Listeria monocytogenes. A 12-h pulse of the drug given to prospective donors during the first week of an immunizing Listeria infection inhibits the delivery

Vinblastine was injected into the amniotic cavity of 6-5-day-old chick embryos. Acropods were fixed 0, 2, 3-5, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 h after treatment and 1 mum thick sections were prepared from the region of digit IV and interdigit III-IV. Cell counts were mainly performed in a distal zone (see

Sixty-one patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinomas of oral cavity and oropharynx were treated with chemotherapy, intravenously applied, in addition to radiation and/or surgery. An attempt was made to synchronize the tumor cell population by application of low doses of Vinblastine and

The origin of the membranes of autophagic vacuoles (AV) and acquisition of acid phosphatase into AV's were studied in vinblastine-induced autophagocytosis (VBL, 50 mg/kg, i.p.) in mouse hepatocytes. Using unbuffered OsO4, very intense staining was observed in the outer cisternae of the Golgi

Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS) is a very rare and aggressive neoplasm that arises from antigen presenting cells. IDCS usually involves lymph nodes; however, extra-nodal involvement has also been reported. Because a consistent standard therapy for IDCS has not been established to date,

We have established two metastatic models of human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC)-the NCI-H460 large-cell carcinoma and the A549 adenocarcinoma-by inoculating tumor cells into the pleural space of nude mice. The objectives of this work were as follows: (a) to study the histological

Thyrotropic hormone (TSH) or cAMP accelerate the formation of follicular cavities in the explanted thyroid gland of the 15-day-old rat fetus. Cytochalasin B or vinblastine and nocodazole or colchicine, which disorganize microfilamental and microtubular structures respectively, inhibit or completely

The clinical course of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is highly variable, ranging from minimal stable disease to explosive growth. Although KS is primarily a cutaneous disease, extracutaneous spread is common; the oral cavity, gastrointestinal (GI) tract,

We report a 65-year-old Japanese woman with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). The eruption first occurred on the legs while she was admitted for treatment of poorly differentiated lung cancer. Approximately eight months after the evolution, cutaneous tumors rapidly spread to the forearms, trunk, and pharynx.

OBJECTIVE Retrospective analysis of results of radiotherapy in epidemic Kaposi sarcoma at the Henri-Mondor hospital. METHODS From June 1986 to December 1996, 643 patients presenting with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma were treated with irradiation at the
