Treatment of pleural malignancies by photo-induction combined to systemic chemotherapy: Proof of concept on rodent lung tumors and feasibility study on porcine chest cavities

Georges Wagnières, Michaël Bensimon, Elodie Debefve, Laurent Décosterd, Jean Yannis Perentes

Background: Low-dose, Visudyne (R)-mediated photodynamic therapy (photo-induction) was shown to selectively enhance tumor vessel transport causing increased uptake of systemically administered chemotherapy in various tumor types grown on rodent lungs. The ...

Influence of jet aeration on pressures around a block embedded in a plunge pool bottom

Anton Schleiss, Rafael Xavier Meriade Duarte

The influence of the air entrained by water jets on the dynamic pressures applied on the bottom of a plunge pool and inside underlying fissures was analyzed with systematic experiments. The large experimental facility reproduced aerated high-velocity jets ...

RC time constant of single lung equals that of both lungs together: a study in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Nico Westerhof

The product of resistance, R, and compliance, C (RC time), of the entire pulmonary circulation is constant. It is unknown if this constancy holds for individual lungs. We determined R and C in individual lungs in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertensi ...

Preclinical comparison of mTHPC and verteporfin for intracavitary photodynamic therapy of malignant pleural mesothelioma

Georges Wagnières

Efficacy and tumour selectivity of photodynamic therapy with two clinically approved sensitizers (mTHPC, verteporfin) were assessed for focal intracavitary photodynamic therapy (PDT) in rodents with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) at recommended drug- ...

On the evolution of some endoscopic light delivery systems for photodynamic therapy

Hubert van den Bergh

Progress in photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on the development of: (1) photosensitizers, (2) optical devices among which are lasers and light delivery systems, and (3) clinical procedure. The light delivery systems which are the focus of this article ar ...

Clinical photodynamic therapy for superficial cancer in the esophagus and the bronchi: 514 nm compared with 630 nm light irradiation after sensitization with Photofrin II

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer in the esophagus and bronchi with red (630 nm) light may occasionally lead to wall perforation and fistula. Therefore, the clin. use of a less penetrating wavelength (514 nm) was investigated for the curative treatment ...

Cavitation erosion of the hydraulic machines : generation and dynamics of erosive cavities

François Avellan, Philippe Dupont

The cavitation which causes severe erosion of hydraulic machine runners is produced by the development of fixed cavities attached at the leading edge of the blades. It is clearly shown, from a comparison between the observations of cavity patterns during m ...
