    Notes: Abstract Modulation of 5-fluorouracil (FUra) using leucovorin (LV) is a standard treatment approach in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Modulation of FUra with interferon alfa has also shown some promise. Laboratory data have demonstrated increased cytotoxicity when FUra is combined with both LV and interferon. The current study examined the effects of double modulation of FUra using LV and interferon. Patients with measurable advanced colorectal cancer received bolus FUra 375 mg/m2 plus LV 20 mg/m2 daily for 5 days, repeated every 28 days. Recombinant human interferon alfa-2a, 3 million IU/m2 subcutaneously, was given daily on the days of chemotherapy then three times weekly. There was one complete response and nine partial responses (10/41) seen for an overall response rate of 24% (95% CI 12.0–40.0%). Overall, 70% of patients experienced one or more episodes of nonhematologic toxicity of grade 3 or more. Weight loss was common, with a mean decrease of 2.9 kg over the first two months (P〈0.0001). Improvements in tumor-related symptoms were balanced by increased fatigue and a deterioration in body weight and performance status. There was no evidence of progressive changes in FUra metabolism from interferon usage.

    Increased alcohol preference in rats following repeated exposures to alcohol (1969)

    Notes: Summary When offered water and different solutions of ethyl alcohol in a freechoice situation, naive rats prefer alcohol at low concentrations but reject alcohol as the concentrations are increased sequentially. Rats which were either group or individually housed and forced to drink a non-preferred 12 or 15 per cent alcohol solution, drank less alcohol than control animals in a subsequent free-choice test. On the other hand, the animals that were repeatedly exposed to 11-day periods during which the concentrations of alcohol were systematically increased from 3 to 30 per cent consumed two to three times more alcohol in the seventh sequence than in the first sequence. In the free-choice situation this acclimation effect occurred when water was constantly present. This method appears to be useful for inducing animals to consume large volumes of ethyl alcohol.
