We have at our disposal observations relating to the mortality due to different types of cancer and we wish to compare them with a theoretical model. The usual models lead to increased mortality with increasing age, instead of the drop which is observed af ...
A new nonbiologic photopolymerizable glue, polyethyleneglycol 400 diacrylate, was studied with respect to its mechanical and biochemical interaction with human blood vessels. Using the human placental artery model, we tested the ability of polyethyleneglyc ...
The prognosis of superficial bladder cancer in terms of recurrence and disease progression is related to the bladder tumor multiplicity and the presence of concomitant 'plane' tumors such as high grade dysplasia and carcinoma in situ (CIS). This study on 3 ...
Several parameters affect clin. trials in photodynamic therapy and influence the therapeutic outcome. Beside drug dose, light dose, drug-light interval and other variables, the fluence rate is a parameter that can influence the therapeutic results. In this ...
New results are presented on the pharmacokinetics of the fluorescing fraction of Photofrin II in patients with an early cancer in the oesophagus or the buccal cavity. The light-induced fluorescence signal shows a relatively high contrast between tumor and ...
In healthy mice, murine (m) TNF is fairly lethal, whereas human (h) TNF (a selective murine TNF-R55 agonist) is rather harmless. However, we and others observed that mice suffering from a bacterial infection, such as Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), or bear ...
Thin hydrogel barriers formed on the inner surface of injured arteries by interfacial photopolymerization dramatically reduced thrombosis and intimal thickening in rat and rabbit models of vascular injury. This polymerization technique allowed the synthesi ...
The use of dyes has been helpful for the photodiagnosis of small cancers accessible to endoscopic examn. An important limiting factor of this technol. is that the presently used fluorescent dye mixt. has a relatively poor capacity to accumulate preferentia ...
The effect of the ADP receptor antagonists ATP and adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-methylene)triphosphate (AMP-PCP), and the ADP-utilizing enzyme systems creatine phosphokinase/creatine phosphate (CPK/CP) and pyruvate kinase/phosphoenol pyruvate (PK/PEP) on plat ...
The prognosis of superficial bladder cancer in terms of local recurrence and transformation into invasive cancer is related to the multiplicity of tumor sites and the concomitant presence of "flat" tumours, such as dysplasia and carcinoma in situ. This stu ...
