To retrospectively assess the effect of cryotherapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) but without local recurrence after resection of the primary lesion, we divided 120 MBC patients into cryotherapy (91 patients) and chemotherapy (29 patients) groups. In the cryotherapy group, 37 patients with tumor recurrence received multiple cryoablations, while 54 patients received only a single cryoablation. Moreover, 62 cryotherapy-group patients underwent cryoablation immediately after the detection of metastases (timely cryotherapy); 35 patients received simultaneous immunotherapy (cryo-immunotherapy), and 29 patients underwent cryoablation in our hospital 3 months after receiving chemotherapy in other centers (chemo-cryotherapy and delayed cryotherapy). Overall survival (OS) after the diagnosis of MBC was assessed after a 10-year follow-up. The median OS was higher in the cryotherapy group (55 months) than in the chemotherapy group (27 months; P < 0.0001). In the cryotherapy group, longer median OS was associated with multiple (76 months) rather than single cryoablations (48 months; P = 0.0005) and with timely (67 months) rather than delayed cryoablation (48 months; P = 0.0012). The median OS was higher after cryo-immunotherapy (83 months) than after chemo-cryotherapy (48 months) or cryotherapy alone (43 months; P < 0.0001 for both). In conclusion, timely and multiple cryoablations, especially when combined with immunotherapy, offer significant advantages over chemotherapy in extending the OS of MBC patients. 相似文献

Summary We have tried to find out if the combination of a xenogenized tumor cell vaccine and antitumor drugs is able to induce a synergistic increase in the antitumor therapeutic effect. The degree of increase in the LTD50 (50% lethal tumor dose) is expressed numerically, as a quantitative index designed to compare degrees of transplantation resistance to tumor cell challenge. A LTD50 was achieved by an intradermal (i. d.) immunization with xenogenized tumor cells when challenged with tumor cells implanted intraperitoneally 2 weeks after the immunization: this LTD50 value was 527 000 times higher than that of the non-immunized group. When we combined this type of immunization with appropriate doses of bleomycin (BLM) or cyclophosphamide (CY), which are able to augment antitumor immunity, the LTD50 was 723 000–1190 000 times higher than that of the non-immunized group. This increase in the LTD50 is definitely higher than that achieved by a single immunization with irradiated tumor cells (× 33 000) and combined with either BLM (× 93 000) or CY (×140 000). We also studied the therapeutic effect of a tumor cell vaccine combined with antitumor drugs BLM or CY in tumor-bearing rats. We observed a synergistic effect caused by BLM or CY after i. d. immunization with xenogenized tumor cells: this showed a significant increase when compared with the therapeutic effects obtained by chemotherapy alone (P <0.01). Nevertheless, there was no evidence that the above antitumor effects is superior to the effect achieved by irradiated tumor cells. 相似文献

Effects of cryotherapy or chemotherapy on apoptosis in a non-small-cell lung cancer xenografted into SCID mice 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Lung cancers are among the most frequent and the most lethal tumours. They are mainly treated by surgery or by chemotherapy, but in the most advanced stages a local cryotherapy can be proposed as a palliative option for bronchial clearance. This therapy, based on the cytotoxic effects of low temperatures, acts by mechanisms which are not yet totally understood. The aim of this work was to investigate in vivo the biological effects of cryotherapy in a model of human non-small-cell lung cancer. We used a xenograft system: cells from the A549 cell line (adenocarcinoma) were injected subcutaneously into SCID mice. Cryotherapy was performed (three cycles, nitrous oxide cryoprobe). Chemotherapy (intravenous injection of Vinorelbine (Navelbine), 4.8 mg/kg) was used as a control treatment. Tumour nodes were excised at variable time points and studied morphologically. The induction of apoptosis was analysed by immunohistochemical staining of cleaved caspase-3 and by TUNEL. Results showed that cryotherapy was an efficient technique to induce cell death either by necrosis or by apoptosis. Necrosis was found near the cryoprobe impact site and was maximal 2 h after treatment (65%); a second peak was observed after 4 days (77%). Around this central necrotic area, apoptotic cells were found. Apoptosis was maximal after 8 h (47%). Chemotherapy induced apoptosis in a fewer number of cells and this effect was not time-dependent. Taken together, these results demonstrate the differential effects of cryotherapy and chemotherapy in vivo, suggesting different modes of action and the potential benefit to combine them. 相似文献

To study some mechanisms underlying the stress responses in eukaryotic cells, we investigated the effect of heat shock (HS) on the induction of DNA double strand breaks as well as on potentially lethal and mutagenic events induced by the radiomimetic antibiotic bleomycin (BLM) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Haploid wild-type yeast cells in the logarithmic phase of growth were exposed to different concentrations of BLM (0-30 microg/ml, 1.5 h) without and with a previous HS (38 degrees C, 1 h). Immediately after treatments, survival as well as mutation frequency were determined, and quantitative analysis of chromosomal DNA by laser densitometry were performed both immediately after treatments and after incubation of cells during different time intervals in liquid nutrient medium free of BLM. Our results indicate that HS induces resistance to potentially lethal and mutagenic effects of BLM. Quantitative analysis of chromosomal DNA performed immediately after treatments showed the same DNA fragmentation, either upon BLM as single agent or preceded by HS. However, HS pretreated cells incubated during 4 h in liquid nutrient medium free of BLM repaired DNA double strand breaks more efficiently as compared to non-pretreated cells. On this basis, we propose that the observed HS-induced resistance to BLM depends on a regulatory network acting after DNA-induced damage, which includes genes involved in DNA repair, HS response and DNA metabolism. 相似文献

A comparison of cryodestruction with excision or infarction of an implanted tumor in rat liver 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
In this study a malignant tumor was implanted in rat livers and treated by infarction, excision, or cryodestruction. Survival and the pattern of metastases was studied in each group. Walker carcinomas were induced by the inoculation of a tumor cell suspension into the livers of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Ten days after inoculation a solitary tumor had formed. This was treated by (i) mobilization of the tumor-bearing lobe (controls); (ii) ischemic infarction by ligation of the vascular pedicle to the lobe; (iii) excision of the tumor-bearing lobe; or (iv) cryodestruction of the tumor and surrounding liver using a clinical liquid nitrogen probe. A double freeze/thaw cycle to - 180 degrees C at a mean cooling rate of 94 degrees C/min was performed. Autopsy was performed at death or after 110 days, when the experiment was terminated. In general, deaths within 5 weeks of treatment were from recurrent tumor growth in the liver and, after this time, from metastatic disease. A statistically significant increase in survival was noted in the cryotherapy group when compared with the other treatment groups (P less than 0.01 logrank ) and controls (P less than 0.001 logrank ). No real difference in local tumor control was noted between the groups. The improved survival in the cryotherapy group was attributed to a statistically significant reduction in deaths from metastatic disease (P less than 0.05 Chi-square). This finding may be related to an immunological response and warrants further study. 相似文献

We investigated cytological changes in oral mucosa smears from patients treated with cryotherapy to determine whether cryotherapy prevented mucositis caused by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) therapy. Patients with gastrointestinal malignancies were divided into four groups; control patients before 5-FU therapy, patients after 5-FU therapy without cryotherapy, patients with cryotherapy before 5-FU therapy and patients with cryotherapy after 5-FU therapy. Oral mucosa samples from all patients were assessed at the beginning and on day 14 of chemotherapy. We used exfoliative cytology to evaluate cellular changes in the oral mucosa that were caused by 5-FU. Smears from each patient were stained using the Papanicolaou method and analyzed using stereology. Smears were taken from each group before and after 5-FU infusion. We found that nuclear volume was decreased significantly in cells of the 5-FU therapy after cryotherapy patients compared to the 5-FU therapy before cryotherapy patients. We also found significantly decreased cytoplasmic volumes in the 5-FU therapy after cryotherapy patients compared to the 5-FU therapy before cryotherapy patients. The results of cytomorphometric estimations revealed that cryotherapy may be used to prevent damage to oral tissue and may decrease the frequency and duration of oral mucositis caused by 5-FU. 相似文献

The variations of electrical conductance of planar bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) sensitized by hematoporphyrin dimethyl ether under visible light illumination were studied. The conductance of BLM does not change for some period after switching on the light, then an increase in the conductance starts and the membrane breaks. This "induction" time does not depend on addition of azide or ferricyanide to the solution, on addition of BHT to the lipid and on substitution of air for argon in the cell. The induction time for any new BLM, formed in the same cell immediately after the previous membrane was broken, is shorter. The variation of BLM boundary potentials during induction time was not observed. The results obtained suggest that the photodamage of BLM sensitized by HPD leads to accumulation of uncharged reaction products and oxygen does not take part in this process. 相似文献

The administration--timing-dependent therapeutic effects of bleomycin (BLM) were observed on a fibrosarcoma implanted SC in WKA rats. Five consecutive IP administrations of BLM (5 mg/kg/d) were found to be more effective when BLM was given from Day 8 than when it was given from Day 1 for tumors implanted on Day 0. The therapeutic effects correlated well with antitumor immune responses, which were examined on Day 13 when the tumor had not yet regressed even in surviving rats. The tumor-neutralizing activity of spleen cells was augmented in rats treated with BLM from Day 8 to Day 12, and the suppressor cell activity detected in the spleen cells of tumor-bearing rats was eliminated by the BLM treatment. The tumoricidal activity of peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) was detected in rats treated from Day 8 but not in rats untreated or treated from Day 1. The in vitro treatment of KMT-17 cells with BLM (20 micrograms/ml) for two hours enhanced the sensitivity of the tumor cells to the activity of tumoricidal PEC. This suggests that the direct action of BLM on tumor cells also plays an immunologic role in BLM treatment. The findings reveal that the therapeutic effect of BLM is elicited by its ability to augment the host immune responses to tumor cells. 相似文献

The effect of recombinant interferon-alpha-2a (rIFN-alpha-2a) on the induction of chromosomal aberrations (CAs) by the radiomimetic antibiotic bleomycin (BLM, 5 microg/ml, 30 min, 37 degrees C) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was investigated. Recombinant IFN-alpha-2a (4500-180,000IU/ml) was added to the cell cultures 0.5 or 24h before BLM (and left in the culture medium until the end of treatments) or immediately after BLM treatment (and left in the culture medium until harvesting). Cells were sampled at 18 or 2.5h after the end of treatments, in order to determine, respectively, the effect of rIFN-alpha-2a on the total chromosome damage induced by BLM and on the chromosome damage induced by this antibiotic in the G(2) phase of the cell cycle. A statistically significant increase in the frequency of CAs was observed following treatment with BLM (P<0.05), whereas treatments with rIFN-alpha-2a alone did not produce any significant increase of CAs over control values (P>0.05). The yield of CAs by BLM was significantly inhibited by rIFN-alpha-2a (P<0.05, 65.3% maximum inhibition). A strong inhibitory effect (around 80%) of rIFN-alpha-2a on the yield of BLM-induced CAs in the G(2) phase of the cell cycle was also observed. It is suggested that the inhibitory effect of rIFN-alpha-2a on the induction of CAs by BLM is mainly due to the stimulation of DNA synthesis and repair by the cytokine. 相似文献

Bladder cancer is the most common malignancy of the urinary tract and in many patients is metastatic at diagnosis. Chemotherapy is the standard treatment for these patients but has serious side effects and in many patients is not tolerated. To avoid the side effects of systemic chemotherapy, patients with late stage bladder cancer have sought cryotherapy in our hospital. We reviewed data for the past 4 years to evaluate the safety and efficiency of percutaneous cryotherapy in 23 patients. Within 3 days after cryosurgery, all complications of bladder cancer (e.g. hematuria, urinary irritation, hypogastralgia, lumbago) had decreased to some degree. No new complications (e.g. bladder perforation) occurred and all complications had disappeared completely after 2 weeks. The progression-free survival (PFS) of these patients was 14 ± 8 months. There was no effect on PFS of tumor location or histopathology; however, differentiation status and tumor size influenced the therapeutic effect of percutaneous cryoablation. In conclusion, percutaneous cryotherapy may be a safe and efficacious therapeutic option in the treatment of metastatic bladder cancer. 相似文献

Objectives To investigate how a 15-min cryotherapy intervention effects proprioception by measuring joint positional sense (JPS) and static single legged balance. Design Repeated measures design. Setting Laboratory. Participants Eighteen healthy university sports team students (11 males, 7 females) aged between 20 and 21?years old. Main outcome measures Participants were treated with 15?min of Aircast Cryo-cuff. The subject’s skin temperature was measured before and immediately after 15?min of cryotherapy treatment. Ankle active joint positional sense (A-JPS) and passive joint positional sense (P-JPS) were measured at pre-test, immediately post-test, and 5?min post-test. Static balance was measured by centre of pressure (CoP) mean path length, medial–lateral (ML) CoP mean deviation, and anterior–posterior (AP) CoP mean deviation and mean time-to-boundary (TtB) minima for AP and ML directions. Results No significant differences were found for the variables of JPS and static single balance testing after 15?min of cryotherapy treatment. However, mean differences for CoP mean path length and ML mean deviation were shown to improve following cryotherapy treatment, results not previously found in the literature. Conclusion Results suggest that 15?min of Cryo-cuff treatment does not significantly affect proprioception. Although the effect of cryotherapy on proprioception depends on cooling modality used, time frame applied, and joint applied to. 相似文献

Enhanced susceptibility of target KMT-17 cells to activated macrophages by treatment with the antitumor agent bleomycin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Summary We observed that after KMT-17 cells had been treated with bleomycin (BLM), even with a dose as high as 160 g/ml, they were still able to form colonies in soft agar. We then studied the susceptibility of KMT-17 cells treated with BLM to activated macrophages. During a colony inhibition assay, BLM-treated KMT-17 cells were found to be much more susceptile to activated macrophages than nontreated KMT-17 cells, moreover, a tumor neutralizing assay showed that the growth of BLM-treated KMT-17 cells was also significantly inhibited by activated macrophages as compared with nontreated KMT-17 cells. Macrophages activated by both BLM and the Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton were able to mediate such tumor inhibition activity in BLM-treated KMT-17 cells. Activated macrophages did not seem to have strong antitumor activity against nontreated KMT-17 cells in vivo, however, the life span of the rats which were inoculated i. p. with KMT-17 cells was significantly expanded after the tumorbearing rats were given BLM i.p. The data presented here suggest that not only does BLM have a direct tumoricidal effect on KMT-17 cells, it also regulates immunosensitivity of targets to immune effectors. We also discuss the mechanism for enhancing the susceptibility of KMT-17 cells to activated macrophages brought about by treatment with BLM.Supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid for Cancer Research from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture 相似文献

During sporting events, injured athletes often return to competition after icing because of the reduction in pain. Although some controversy exists, several studies suggest that cryotherapy causes a decrease in muscle activity, which may lead to a higher risk of injury upon return to play. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a 20-min knee joint cryotherapy application on the electromyographic activity of leg muscles during a single-leg drop jump in twenty healthy subjects, randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group. After the pre-tests, a crushed-ice bag was applied to the knee joint of the experimental group subjects for 20 min, while the control group subjects rested for 20 min. All subjects were retested immediately after this period and retested again after another 20 min of rest. Average electromyographic activity and ground contact time were calculated for the pre- and post-test sessions. Decreases in electromyographic activity of the lower extremity musculature were found in pre-activation, eccentric (braking), and concentric (push-off) phases immediately after the icing, and after 20 min of rest. The results lend support to the suggestion that cryotherapy during sporting events may place the individuals in a vulnerable position. 相似文献

The effect of local hyperthermia (43.5 degrees C for 1 h) on lymph flow from B16-F10 tumor-bearing foot pads of C57BL/6 mice was measured by monitoring the clearance of 99mTc-labeled human serum albumin. The foot was represented by a single-compartment model enabling a quantitative computation of lymphatic flow from the tumor to regional lymph nodes. Lymphatic flow from untreated tumors was 0.0059 +/- 0.0011 ml/min cm3 compared to 0.0118 +/- 0.0027 ml/min cm3 lymphatic flow from tumors immediately following heating. Morphological alterations in tumor blood vessels result in their high vascular permeability. The increase in lymphatic clearance from tumors after sublethal hyperthermia is compatible with the increase in interstitial fluid formation in tumors based on Starling's Law. 相似文献

Response of a transplantable tumor, S180, grown intradermally in inbred Balb/c mice, was assessed by using micronucleus assay after treating the solid tumors with bleomycin (BLM), radiation (RT) and hyperthermia (HT) vis-a-vis multimodality approach. The frequency of micronuclei (MN) though did not vary greatly during the one week of observation in untreated tumors, it significantly increased in the drug and RT groups at 24 hr post-treatment. However, MN frequency was non-significant in the HT group from the control. A drug dose dependent linear increase in the frequency of MN induction was evident in 10, 15 and 20 mg/kg body weight BLM alone treated groups. Combination of radiation with BLM or HT further increased the MN counts in the bimodality groups. But, MN induction at 24 hr post-treatment in the trimodality group (BLM + RT + HT) was non-significant from that of the bimodality treatments. However, the tumors treated with trimodality treatment presented severe tumor necrosis, indicating increased cell loss, and resulting in immediate tumor regression. In all the bi-modality groups MN counts though declined 3 or 5 days post-treatment, the values remained significantly higher than the control, on day 7 post-treatment. Micronucleus assay could be used as a predictive parameter for the assessment of post-irradiation tumor regression response. However, the tumor response assessment with MN assay alone may not be sufficient and the role of other parameters, such as apoptosis and necrosis, in immediate tumor regression, especially radiosensitive/thermosensitive tumors can not be ignored while taking multimodality approach into consideration for cancer therapy. 相似文献

Basic studies of cryochemotherapy in a murine tumor system 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
The combined effect of cryosurgery and anticancer drugs (cryochemotherapy) was studied in an experimental B16 melanoma/BDF1 tumor system. Vascular volume and vascular permeability after cryosurgery of normal skin and the tumor were measured by using 51Cr-labeled red blood cells and 125I-labeled serum albumin. The vascular volume and vascular permeability of both the normal vessels and the tumor vessels greatly increased immediately after cryosurgery, and their vascular volume decreased to less than the normal level within a few hours. However, the tumor vessels showed less dilatation and increase in permeability than the vessels of normal tissue. There was a difference in functional characteristics in response to cryoinjury between the normal vessels and the tumor vessels. The anticancer drugs, peplomycin and adriamycin, were administered intraperitoneally in combination with cryosurgery. When peplomycin was administered 5 min, 1 hr, and 3 hr after cryosurgery, the drug concentration in the frozen tumor was higher than that in the untreated tumor. But when administered 1 hr before cryosurgery, peplomycin was not trapped in the tumor. Trapping of adriamycin was not observed after the same treatment. In cryochemotherapy, it is necessary to administer the appropriate drug at the appropriate time. However, the trapping of the anticancer drug results in a high concentration and lasts for a long time, so that cryochemotherapy is expected to be a new mode of cancer therapy, particularly as a multidisciplinary treatment for cancer. 相似文献
