    Notes: Summary The effects of chronic mechanical stimulation induced by glass balls or paraffin balls on precursor lesions of the urinary bladder of male Wistar strain rats induced by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN) in the drinking water were studied. When foreign bodies were present in the bladder, proliferative lesions of the urinary bladder epithelium were found even without administration of carcinogen. When the foreign bodies were implanted into the urinary bladder and then rats were given BBN in the drinking water for the first 4 weeks of the experimental period, a high incidence of tumors of the urinary bladder was observed. The incidence of tumors induced by BBN was increased by the presence of glass balls or paraffin balls in the urinary bladder. These results clearly show that foreign bodies in the urinary bladder have a significant effect in promoting carcinogenesis of the urinary bladder in rats.

    Notes: Summary The fine structures of the bladder mucosa during BBN carcinogenesis and of bladder tumors induced by BBN in dogs were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Normal dog bladder mucosa was covered with polygonal superficial cells with peaked microridges, but no microvilli. Microridges and uniform microvilli were observed in hyperplastic mucosa. In low grade papillary tumors induced by low doses of BBN, pleomorphic microvilli predominated. In dogs which received high doses of BBN, bizarre pleomorphic microvilli and blebs were observed in papillary lesions, whereas bumpy surfaces with thick short microvilli were observed in non-papillary lesions. These sequential changes which were observed in dog bladder mucosa during BBN carcinogenesis parallelled the changes that occurred in the process of chemical carcinogenesis in rodents, and dog bladder tumors were similar to those of rodents and of human bladder cancers.

    Notes: Summary Chemotherapeutic agents were evaluated for effect on the development of urinary bladder tumors induced by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN) in male Wistar strain rats. Seven hundred and two rats were given 0.05% BBN in drinking water for 8 weeks. After BBN treatment, the animals were divided into 26 groups to follow regimens of single chemotherapy. All drugs were administered intraperitoneally except in one group that was treated orally. In our experimental series, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), N-(2-tetrahydrofuryl)-5-fluorouracil (FT-207), carbazilquinone (CQ), vincristine (VCR) and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) were effective in inhibiting the incidence of bladder tumor, however, adriamycin (ADM), mitomycin C (MMC), neocarsinostatin (NCS), cyclophosphamide (CPM) and bleomycin (BLM) were not effective.
