    Notizen: Summary We obtained evidence that the cytotoxic effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is augmented when the drug is given in combination with hyperthermia (HYP) and dipyridamole (DP). Nontoxic levels of DP enhanced the combined cytotoxicity of 5-FU and HYP against B16 melanoma and human tumor cells in vitro as measured by the succinate dehydrogenase inhibition (SDI) test. Growth of B16 melanoma that had been subcutaneously implanted into the feet of C57 BL mice was inhibited by treatment with the combinations of 5-FU and HYP, of 5-FU and DP, and of 5-FU, HYP and DP as compared with the administration of 5-FU alone. Treatment with HYP plus DP did not alter the body weight of mice that received 5-FU. The administration of DP plus HYP seemed to render the tumor cells more sensitive to 5-FU. The combination of 5-FU, HYP and DP shows promise for the treatment of patients suffering from malignant disease.

    Notizen: Abstract cis-1,1-Cyclobutanedicarboxylato(2R)-2-methyl-1,4-butanediammineplatinum(II) (NK121) andcis-diammine(glycolato)platinum (254-S), analogues ofcis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP) with reduced nephrotoxicity, are under clinical phase trial in Japan. Since CDDP has been shown to be more cytotoxic under conditions of an elevated temperature, we tested the cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of these analogues at 37° and 43°C using EMT6/KU cells in vitro. The cytotoxicity of CDDP was enhanced at 43°C, and that of NK121 and 254-S was also enhanced, in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The 90% cytotoxic concentration (IC90) of each drug was reduced 2.9-fold for CDDP, 2.5-fold for NK121, and 2.2-fold for 254-S. Cytotoxicity was maximal when the two modalities were used simultaneously for all three drugs. The intracellular platinum concentration was assayed using flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. When exposed to IC90 drug concentration at 43°C for 2 h simultaneously, the intracellular platinum concentration increased to 0.095±0.007 μg/107 cells (a 1.9-fold increase) for CDDP, to 0.198±0.012 μg/107 cells (a 1.3-fold increase) for NK121, and to 0.090±0.014 μg/107 cells (a 1.3-fold increase) for 254-S; respectively, as compared with the level measured after drug exposure at 37°C (P〈0.05 for all drugs). The elevation in platinum concentration may be one of mechanism related to a synegistic effect of the two treatment modalities. The concomitant use of CDDP analogues and heat shows potential for possible clinical application.

    Notizen: Abstract We evaluated the effects of chemotherapy given postoperatively with and without immunodulators on the survival of patients who had undergone resection for gastric cancer. We conducted a retrospective survey of data on 963 Japanese patients treated at our department of surgery between 1965 and 1987. Data related to the duration of postoperative survival were calculated for those who received chemotherapy, i. e. an individualized combination of various agents given or without the immunomodulators PSK, a protein extract of the fungusCoriolus versicolor, and/or OK-432, a preparation of an attenuated strain ofStreptococcus (immunochemotherapy). Postoperative immunochemotherapy was more often prescribed for patients with advanced disease. The survival of patients who received immunochemotherapy was shorter than that of patients who received only chemotherapy. In a subgroup of patients adjusted for disease stage, the survival of those on chemotherapy versus immunochemotherapy did not differ significantly at any stage. For optimal results, a protocol for postoperative immunochemotherapy needs to be designed and investigated prospectively and according to the stage of gastric cancer. The stage III gastric cancers seem amenable to a favorable response.

    Notizen: Abstract PURPOSE: Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a rate-limiting enzyme for polyamine synthesis. An elevated protein level of ODC was observed in the tumors. There has been, however, little information reported so far on the expression of ODC messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in clinical colorectal carcinomas.In vitro studies disclosed that the transcriptions of the ODC gene is regulated by the c-myc gene. METHODS: The expression of ODC and c-myc mRNA in biopsy specimens obtained from both tumor tissue and the corresponding normal tissue was examined by the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction method in 40 cases of colorectal carcinoma. RESULTS: The expression of ODC mRNA was observed in both tumor tissue and normal tissue. The tumor to normal ratio of ODC mRNA was higher in cases with deeply invasive tumors than in cases with shallow tumors, and it was also higher in Dukes B or C cases than in Dukes A cases. There was a significant correlation between the tumor to normal ratio of c-myc mRNA and that of ODC mRNA in each case. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggested that 1) the study of the expression of ODC mRNA may be useful for preoperatively predicting more advanced disease of colon carcinoma, and 2) there was a significant correlation between expression of ODC and c-myc mRNA in the clinical samples, which was similar to the findings of a previous in vitro study.
