    Notizen: Abstract Purpose: To prospectively evaluate the long term cardiac effects of high-dose epirubicin and cyclophosphamide given to women with early stage, poor prognosis breast cancer. Patients and methods: Women with stage 2 breast cancer and 10+ nodes or 4+ nodes and estrogen receptor negative tumor, or stage 3 breast cancer received three cycles of epirubicin 200 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 4 gm/m2 with peripheral blood progenitor cell and filgrastim support. Treatment was given every 28 days (n = 79) or 21 days (n = 20). Fifty patients received radiotherapy to the chest wall or breast, 25 of to the left side. Patients were assessed clinically regularly during chemotherapy and at least three times yearly after completion of treatment. Cardiac left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was assessed by radionuclide scan before therapy, after each cycle of chemotherapy, three months and six months after completion of chemotherapy, and yearly thereafter until relapse. Results: Ninety-nine women were treated, and 92 completed all three cycles of chemotherapy. The median age was 43 years (range 24 to 60 years). All patients were included in this analysis. The median relapse-free survival was 39 months (11 to 68 months). There was a significant fall in LVEF during chemotherapy. In general, there was no further deterioration in cardiac function from the third month after cessation of treatment, however there was substantial variation between individuals. 35 patients had at least one LVEF measure less than normal (〈50%), but the LVEF returned to normal in 20 of these with further follow-up. Cardiac dysfunction was not increased in women who received radiotherapy and was not different between cohorts given chemotherapy every three or every four weeks. One patient died of acute myocardial necrosis following the third cycle of chemotherapy. Two patients developed clinical evidence of cardiac failure, and another had radiological signs but was asymptomatic. One woman died of progressive cardiac failure, one recovered clinically but also developed recurrent breast cancer, while the third recovered after commencement of medical therapy. Conclusions: During follow-up after high-dose epirubicin and cyclophosphamide as delivered in this study, the LVEF fell to below normal in approximately one third of patients. However, in over half of these patients the LVEF subsequently recovered to the normal range, and the incidence of clinically evident chronic cardiac failure was low. Further follow-up is required to assess the long- term safety. A randomized comparison with standard-dose anthracycline-based chemotherapy is needed to determine whether this regimen is associated with an increased risk of clinical cardiac toxicity.

    Notizen: Abstract Background: To define a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for the combination of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide with filgrastim (r-met-HuG-CSF) in patients with advanced solid tumors and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Patients and methods: Thirty-five patients with advanced solid tumors were enrolled in stages I and II. Twenty-one patients were treated in stage I in sequential cohorts of at least three patients at increasing dosage levels of cyclophosphamide and epirubicin, for up to six cycles every 21 days. At the completion of stage I, a MTD for epirubicin was established. Fourteen patients were treated in stage II, in cohorts of three or more. The epirubicin dose remained constant at the MTD dosage from stage I. Cyclophosphamide was further dose-escalated to establish its MTD. Twenty-one patients with previously untreated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were treated in stage III with the MTD established in the prior stages. Results: The MTD in stage I was epirubicin 150 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 1500 mg/m2 with cumulative neutropenia as the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Cumulative thrombocytopenia prevented further dose-escalation of cyclophosphamide in stage II. The stage III regimen consisted of six, 21-day cycles of epirubicin 150 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 1500 mg/m2, vincristine 2 mg, and prednisolone 100 mg for five days with filgrastim support. Nineteen of twenty-one patients (90%) completed six cycles of treatment, eight (38%) without dose reduction. Common toxicity criteria (CTC) grade 4 neutropenia (neutrophil nadir 〈0.5 × 109/l) was documented in 85 of 118 cycles (72%). Neutropenic fever was documented in 17 of 21 patients (81%) on at least one occasion. Severe thrombocytopenia (〈25 × 109/l) was seen in fourteen of 118 cycles (12%) and increased with cycle number. There was no significant non-hematological toxicity. Conclusion: Significant dose-escalation of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide was possible with filgrastim support. The MTD achieved was approximately double that of standard-dose therapy. This study forms the basis of an ongoing randomized study evaluating dose-intensification in intermediate grade NHL.

    Notizen: Morphology, stress-strain properties, and grafting have been investigated in highly phase-separated polyurethane (PU)-poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) mixtures as a function of the sequence of formation of the components, both linear (l) and crosslinked (x), in the presence of each other. In the range of 0.3-0.7 weight fraction of PU, a morphology of PBMA particles in a PU matrix results. Particle size depends on matrix viscosity at the time of PBMA formation, decreasing as viscosity increases. The PBMA (l) particles are spherical; PBMA (x) particles are irregular in shape when formed in a fluid medium but tend to become spherical as the delay time before the onset of their formation is increased. Grafting, decreasing with increasing delay time, is observed between PBMA (l) particles and the PU (x) or PU (l) matrix. The grafting results from transesterification between BMA and the polyol precursors to the PU. Two families of mechanical properties are found, depending generally more on particle shape than size. Systematic trends of property values through a series of samples of constant composition, but increasing delay times, are observed with greater variation in the series with PBMA (x) particles; the trends are explainable in terms of matrix immobilization by the particles.

    Notizen: Poly(methyl methacrylate) has been photolyzed with 2537 A. radiation in dioxane and in methylene chloride at about 25°C. in the presence and absence of air. In degassed solutions, quantum yields for random scission are only slightly affected by either intensity or polymer concentration. Oxygen is an apparent inhibitor for photodegradation. The inhibiting and sensitizing effects of a variety of added solutes, including aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic dienes, and ketones were investigated; the behavior is similar whether or not oxygen is present. The results are best explained on the basis of an electronic energy transfer mechanism involving the lowest excited triplet levels of the polymer and the added solutes.

    Notizen: Poly(methylene disulfide), poly(methylene tetrasulfide), poly(ethylene disulfide), and poly(ethylene tetrasulfide) have been subjected to ultraviolet radiation in vacuum at 50°C. Weight losses during photolysis include both low molecular weight compounds and readily condensable polymeric materials; the latter account for the greater proportion of the weight losses. Carbon monosulfide, isolated as its polymer, and hydrogen sulfide are major photolytic products. Carbon disulfide is a major product from the methylene but not from the ethylene polymers. The tetrasulfide polymers during irradiation from volatile products which on condensation give the original polymer. A mechanism of degradation compatible with these findings is suggested.

    Notizen: Significant sex and strain differences in correlation of bone, body and skeletal weights show significant localized effects of sex and strain and a combination of both. Individually they seem to lack biological meaning. However, when considered in relation to the ponderal correlations, of which they are a part, they fall into place at the distal ends of a graded linear correlation series, both within and between limbs; and similarly between mandible and sacrum, respectively, with each bone of both limbs. The pattern of these gradients reveals a linear decline in correlation of bones with distance (rule of neighborhood, Karl Pearson) in most cases, but the exceptions are such as can be related to the functions in which they cooperate. In this way they demonstrate at least two major unifying genetic influences. One associates sex and strain with locomotion and the other with the incipient upright investigative posture of the Lagomorphs (including the rabbit). The expected effect of sex on the pelvis is apparently not expressed by these ponderal measurements. The manner in which this correlation approach, based on well established genetic growth differences, converges with the phylogenetic and ontogenetic concepts of normal and abnormal growth of bone in limbs and cranio-facial development suggests that a combination of correlation and epigenetic analysis would be helpful in establishing a sound genetic background for the newer biomechanic, functional matrix and architectonic approaches.

    Notizen: Charge transfer (CT) interaction is described in semiconducting dispersions of TCNQ complex salt \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ {\rm Et}_3 {\rm NH}^+ ({\rm TCNQ})_2^{\cdot^{\hskip-3.7pt\hbox{--}}}$\end{document} with and without added TCNQ°, in poly(vinyl acetal) matrices in which the electron-donor moiety is varied. The extent of CT interaction was determined in films and in solution (DMF, acetonitrile, or methylene chloride) through the absorbances at 398 nm (\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ {\rm TCNQ}{\ }^{\cdot^{\hskip-3.7pt\hbox{--}}}$\end{document} and TCNQ°) and 857 nm \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ {\rm TCNQ}{\ }^{\cdot^{\hskip-3.7pt\hbox{--}}}$\end{document}. Resistivity of the conductive films was related to the stoichiometry of TCNQ species in the films and found to have a minimum at \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$[{\rm TCNQ}^\circ]/[{\rm TCNQ}{\ }^{\cdot^{\hskip-3.7pt\hbox{--}}}]\simeq 1$\end{document}. Lower resistivities were attained with films having a uniform, densely packed dispersion of microcrystallites which were obtained at a relatively slow solvent removal rate. With this particular complex salt, strong electron-donor polymers are found to be better matrices for semiconductivity.

    Notizen: The photodegradation of thin films of poly-α-methylstyrene by near ultraviolet radiation has been studied in vacuum at 27 and 115°C. Changes taking place during photolysis were followed by a determination of monomer formation by ultraviolet spectroscopy, residue molecular weight through a measurement of intrinsic viscosity, and volatile products by mass spectroscopy. Gross features of the photolysis include random chain scission in the polymer with subsequent depolymerization of the radicals formed to yield small amounts of monomer; the kinetic chain length is on the order of 15 in the temperature range studied. Quantum yields at 27°C. for chain scission and monomer formation are 1 × 10-3 and 7 × 10-3, respectively. At 115°C. the quantum yields are 2 × 10-2 and 0.5. Small quantities of hydrogen, CO2, CO, and a number of hydrocarbons were liberated during irradiation. An approximate one-to-one correlation between the number of main chain scissions and CO2 + CO molecules evolved was found, suggesting the occurrence of chain scission at weak linkages involving oxygen.

    Notizen: Thin films of poly(methyl acrylate) at room temperature have been photodegraded in air and in vacuum by radiation from a low-pressure mercury source. Changes in intrinsic viscosities, ultraviolet absorption, and volatile products were followed as a function of the energy absorbed. Crosslinking occurs in both air and vacuum, but at a slower rate in air. The apparent quantum yield for random scission in air was 0.013 scissions per quantum absorbed. In air, carbonyl groups are formed along the backbone chain. Most of the volatile products studied appear to orginate from the ester groups in the polymer; formaldehyde, methanol, and methyl formate evolved at a constant rate for doses up to at least 2 × 1020 quanta/g.; quantum yields for each were determined. Carbon dioxide forms in amounts increasing exponentially with dose. Small amounts of carbon monoxide, methane, and hydrogen were detected qualitatively, but monomer was not observed. A mechanism compatible with these findings is suggested.
