A randomized crossover trial of tamoxifen versus ovarian ablation for metastatic breast cancer in premenopausal women: A report of the National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group (NCIC CTG) trial MA.1

Background: The outcome of breast cancer is usuallydetermined by multiple factors. Serum tumor necrosis factoralpha concentration has been found to be increasedin the circulation of patients with malignancy. Thisstudy was designed with the aim to investigateany correlation between the serum tumor necrosis factoralpha and the clinicopathological fetures and furthermore evaluatethe prognostic significance of serum tumor necrosis factoralpha concentration in breast cancer. Methods: Forty consecutivepatients with invasive breast cancer undergoing modified radicalmastectomy were prospectively included and evaluated. Venous bloodsamples were collected before the surgery. Sera wereobtained by centrifugation, and stored at – 70°C until assayed. The control group consisted 30healthy, age-matched subjects. Serum concentrations of tumor necrosisfactor alpha were measured by the quantitative sandwichenzyme immunoassay technique. The data on tumor size,age, estrogen receptor status, lymph node status andTNM staging were reviewed and recorded.Results: The mean value of serum tumor necrosis factor alphain patients with invasive breast cancer was 1.47± 0.58 pg/ml and that of the controlgroup was 0.98 ± 0.37 pg/ml, and thedifference was significant (P < 0.01). With univariableanalysis, patients with maximum tumor size of 5cm or larger (P=0.03), more advancedTNM staging (P < 0.01); and more advancedlymph node status (P < 0.01) were shownto have significantly higher serum concentrations of tumornecrosis factor alpha. However, with multivariable analysis, TNMstaging appeared as the only independent factor (P< 0.01) predicting the significant, higher serum concentrationsof tumor necrosis factor alpha. Conclusion: Preoperative evaluationof serum tumor necrosis factor alpha concentrations maybe a valuable parameter for reflecting the severityof staging for invasive breast cancer.     

Drug-Biomacromolecule Interaction XII: Comparative binding study of sulfaethidole to bovine serum albumin by equilibrium dialysis,fluorescence probe technique,uv difference spectrophotometry and circular dichroism

Binding of sulfaethidole to bovine serum albumin was studied by equilibrium dialysis, fluorescence probe technique, uv difference spectrophotometry and circular dichroism. Equilibrium dialysis method enabled us to estimate the total number of drug binding sites of albumin molecule. For sulfaethidole, albumin had 6 primary and 40 secondary binding sites. The primary and secondary binding constants were 0.9×10⁵ M⁻¹ and 0.2×10⁶ M⁻¹, respectively. 1-Anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) and 2-(4′-hydroxylbenzeneazo)-benzoic acid (HBAB) were used as the fluorescence probe and the uv spectrophotometric probe, respectively. In fluorescence probe technique, results indicated that the number of higher affinity drug binding site of albumin was 1 and the number of lower affinity drug binding sites of albumin was 3, and the primary and secondary drug binding constants for bovine serum albumin were 2.15×10⁵ M⁻¹ and 1.04×10⁵ M⁻¹, respectively. In uv difference spectrophotometry, binding sites were 3 and binding constant was 1.88×10⁵ M⁻¹. The above results suggest that several different methods should be used in ompensation for insufficient information about drug binding to albumin molecule given by only one method.

In vivo phosphorus polarization transfer and decoupling from protons in three-dimensional localized nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of human brain

Refocused insensitive nucleus enhancement by polarization transfer (RINEPT) from protons (¹H) to a J-coupled phosphorus (³¹P) has been incorporated into three-dimensional (3D) chemical-shift-imaging (CSI) sequence on a clinical imager. The technique is demonstrated on a phantom and in in vivo human brain. The polarization-transfer efficiency (～1.2) is lower than the theoretical maximum of γ¹H/γ³¹P≈ 2.4 resulting from ¹H-¹H homonuclear J couplings of similar magnitude competing with the ¹H →³¹P transfer. Nevertheless, compared with direct ³¹P Ernst-angle excitation, signal gains of up to × 1.8 were obtained mainly as a result of T¹ differences between ³¹P and the ¹H. Spectral interpretation is simplified by editing out all non-proton-coupled ³¹P signals. The duration, ～50 min, and power deposition, ～1 W · kg^?1, make the application suitable for human studies.     

Leukocytosis and low serum IgA in workers exposed to the epoxy compound,t-methyl-3-phenylglycidate

Summary Forty-nine out of 54 male workers engaged in the production of an epoxy compound, t-methyl-3-phenylglycidate, showed skin symptoms in varing degrees that may be due to the skin-irritative effect of the compound. The exposed workers were also shown to have subjective symptoms which may be related to the irritative property of the compound on surface tissue. Laboratory examinations on the blood obtained from the exposed workers showed significantly higher values of leukocyte concentration as compared with the non-exposed controls. This was chiefly caused by the increase of neutrophilic granulocytes and T-cell lymphocytes. Serum IgA levels of the exposed workers were shown to be significantly lower than those of the control group. Hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit value and red cell count of the exposed workers remained at the same level as those of the control subjects. Liver or kidney damage was not found in biochemical analyses on the sera of exposed workers.
