Cyclopenta-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: potential carcinogens and mutagens

Cyclopenta-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (cyclopenta-PAHs) are a group of compounds that have been detected as environmental pollutants. Perturbation molecular orbital (PMO) calculations on their presumed ultimate carcinogenic metabolites, the cyclopenta-PAH expoxides, predict that they may have a greater biological hazard than the classic PAHs.     

母鸡在排卵周期和抱窝血浆“黄体生成素类似物”和孕酮的浓度变化

本文用放射免疫分析法(RTA)测定了泰和母鸡在排卵周期和抱窝的不同生殖阶段,血浆“黄体生成素类似物”(“LH”)和孕酮(P)的浓度。结果表明:母鸡在排卵周期血浆“LH”和P的平均值分别为3.67±0.60ng/ml(x±SE)和459.50±30.87pg/ml,排卵前6～3h,血浆“LH”和P均出现浓度高峰,其峰值比相应的平均值高出1.1和1.3倍,差异非常显著(P<0.01)。抱窝鸡血浆“LH”和P在24h内的平均值分别为2.27±0.22ng/ml和319.46±12.15pg/ml,显著地低于母鸡在排卵周期的平均值(P<0.05),且在24h内的不同时间,未见有浓度高峰出现。     

ASTRO plenary: interfraction interval is a major determinant of late effects, with hyperfractionated radiation therapy of carcinomas of upper respiratory and digestive tracts: results from Radiation Therapy Oncology Group protocol 8313

A prospective, randomized, multi-institutional, Phase I(LE)/II trial of HFX was conducted by the RTOG between 1983 and 1987. Patients with histologically proven, inoperable squamous cell carcinoma of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts stratified by site, nodal status, and performance status, were assigned to one of three arms, were assigned to one of three arms, 67.2 Gy, 72.0 Gy, or 76.8 Gy. Fractions of 1.2 Gy were given twice daily, 5 days per week: intervals of 4 to 8 hours were permitted between fractions. After acceptable rates of acute normal tissue effects were found, the randomization was changed to evaluate a new higher total dose, 81.6 Gy. Of 479 patients entered, 447 were analyzed, 63 on 67.2 Gy, 129 on 72.0 Gy, 117 on 76.8 Gy, and 138 on 81.6 Gy. The treatment arms were well balanced with respect to pretreatment characteristics. Acute reactions consisted almost entirely of pseudomembranous inflammation. "Severe" (Grade 3) acute reactions were reported in 33% to 41% and grade 4 reactions were found in 0 to 3% of patients, with no differences in frequencies among the four arms. Toxicities that developed or persisted beyond 90 days after the first treatment (408 patients evaluable greater than 90 days) did not differ among arms: grade 3+ reactions occurred in 10% to 14%, and grade 4+ effects (necroses) were reported in 5% at 67.2 Gy, 3% at 72.0 Gy, 7% at 76.8 Gy, and 2% at 81.6 Gy. Grade 3+ acute reactions occurred in 40% of patients when the interfraction interval was less than or equal to 4.5 hours versus 31% with greater than 4.5 hours (p = .03). Interfraction intervals less than or equal to 4.5 hours were associated with higher frequencies of grade 4+ late effects in all four arms, 8% of 197 patients with less than or equal to 4.5 hours versus 1% of 211 patients with greater than 4.5 hours. Estimates of late toxicity at 1, 2, and 3 years were 5.5%, 9.8%, and 15.4% with intervals less than or equal to 4.5 hours, versus 1.7% at all three periods for greater than 4.5 hours (p = .006). Local-regional control at 2 years was 25% for the assigned dose of 67.2 Gy compared to 43% to 45% for the three higher doses (p = .01), but a similar comparison for survival showed no significant difference (p = .35). There was no evidence for an effect of interfraction interval on either local-regional control (p = .38) or survival (p = .28).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

Dynamic study on superficial blood flow in patients with acute myocardial infarction]

Fourteen points superficial bloodflow (SBF) of the skin and tongue in 55 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were measured at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 hours and 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28 days after AMI by LDF (PF2). The dynamic study on multiple points SBF of 576 times showed that (1) The mean SBF of skin was 1.0 +/- 0.04 (V) at 12 hours after AMI. It occupied 70.5% in the normal control. After therapy at 48 hours of AMI, the mean SBF was increased to 1.20 +/- 0.03 (V), and approximated 85.9% of the control. (2) The mean SBF in patients with cardiogenic shock was 1.04 +/- 0.05 (V), and it was significantly lower than that without complications (P less than 0.01). The mean SBF showed a negative correlation with the nailfold microcirculatory values (P less than 0.0025). There was a negative correlation between "Tanzhong" SBF and cardiac muscle enzyme CPK, GOT, LDH (P less than 0.05). (3) The SBF of acupuncture point "Tanzhong, Erxin" related to the heart might more sensitively represent the cardiac condition in AMI. (4) The SBF of tongue was negatively correlated with GOT (P less than 0.05). (5) Continual peripheral microcirculatory observation and electrocardiographic monitoring would be helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of earlier complications of AMI in order to reduce the mortality.     

Nonepithelial tumors of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx: a clinicopathologic study. X. Malignant lymphomas.

In our series of 256 nonepithelial tumors involving the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx, 21 were apparently primary malignant lymphomas, including 17 ordinary lymphomas and 4 cases of "midline malignant reticulosis." Of the 15 patients who had ordinary lymphomas and had adequate follow-up, 8 died of lymphoma, 4 were living with disseminated disease, 1 died of other causes with persistent lymphoma and only 2 (13%) had no evidence of recurrence at 8 and 9 years after diagnosis. The tumor was controlled in its primary site by radiotherapy in 13 of 14 patients; however, all but 2 of these patients eventually developed disseminated disease. Of the 3 patients who had midline malignant reticulosis (MMR) and had adequate follow-up, all died of disease. MMR represents an unusual variant of malignant lymphoma and often produces the clinical picture of lethal midline granuloma.
