Abstract

The effects of low dose CW laser were studied by in vivo and in vitro systems. The experimental tissues that were used included bladders, tracheas and tongues as experimental tissues. Buddings (round surface projections) from the transitional epithelium of bladder were frequently observed 3 days after laser treatment in both in vivo and in vitro systems. The trachea and tongue were less affected. In both the in vivo and in vitro systems, some epithelial cells of the trachea showed decreased microvilli and cilia 3 days after treatment whereas the epithelial cells of the tongue revealed no response to laser treatment in both systems. Low dose laser, however, appeared to promote the rate of healing of experimental tongue ulcer: healing was about 1 day earlier in the laser treated than non-treated animals and vessel infiltration and epithelialization were detected earlier in the treated.

Ciliated cells of the trachea of the rabbit, treated with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) alone, or in combination with ionizing radiation

Journal Article Albertsson, M; Hakansson, C; Mercke, C - Scanning Electron Microsc.; (United States)

The ciliated epithelium of the rabbit trachea was irradiated with daily fractions of 2 Gy to an accumulated dose of 20 Gy (TD: 2, 6, 10, 16, or 20 Gy). Fifteen to forty-five minutes before start of the first irradiation (treatment day 1), 5 mg cis-DDP was given by intraperitoneal injection to each rabbit. Examination was made 1 - 10 days after each fractionation schedule, when specimens were taken for investigations. Scanning electron microscope investigations showed a gradual development of ciliary damage from blebs on the cilia to swollen tips, broken and bent cilia and finally an epithelial lining withmore »« less
In vitro evidence of cellular adaptation to ozone toxicity in the rat trachea

Journal Article Nikula, K; Wilson, D; Dungworth, D; ... - Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol.; (United States)

Adaptation to prolonged ozone (O/sub 3/) exposure occurs in the tracheal epithelium of rats and is marked by the presence of ciliated cells with uniform short cilia but is not accompanied by shifts in cell populations, altered characteristics of epithelial secretory cell products, increased cell turnover, or elevated tracheal superoxide dismutase activity. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that adaptation is a result of alterations intrinsic to epithelial cells or to the cells and their matrix, and not due to systemic or neural influences. Rats were preexposed to either filtered air (FA) or 0.96 ppm O/submore »« less

Effect of the promoter 12-O-tetradecanolyphorbol-13- acetate on the evolution of carcinogen-altered cell populations in tracheas initiated with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene

Journal Article Terzaghi, M; Klein-Szanto, A; Nettesheim, P - Cancer Res.; (United States)

The aim of these studies was to investigate the effect(s) of the promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13- acetate (TPA) on the evolution of different types of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-initiated rat tracheal epithelial cells in vivo. In the present study, tracheal transplants were exposed in vivo to 35 ..mu..g DMBA for 2 weeks and subsequently to 100 ..mu..g TPA. Controls were exposed to DMBA alone, TPA alone, or blank pellets alone. Tracheal cells were harvested by enzymatic procedures at 0, 3, 6, 12, or 18 months after the end of exposure to DMBA and at the same time points after the beginning of exposure tomore »« less
RADIATION THERAPY IN NEOPLASTIC DISEASE

Journal Article Agnew, C - GP, Journal of the American Academy of General Practice (U.S.) Changed to American Family Physician - GP

Recent innovations in radiotherapy of various forms of cancer are reviewed, and new techniques for treating radiation sickness and injury are outlined. When larger areas of skin are treated with high dosage levels, the erythematous reaction may regress to a wet reaction with denudation. Aqueous 1% gentian violet produces a protective cover which may be soaked off two or three times daily,. followed by a new application by nebulizer or cotton applicator. It is most important to prevent additional trauma. This skin reaction will heal in about two weeks, depending upon the area and depth of involvement. Atrophic dry areasmore »« less
Late radiation damage in the urinary bladder of women. Clinical and pathologic findings (in German)

Journal Article Hradec, E.; Motlík, K. - Urologia Internationalis

BS>Late sequelae in the bladder are described in 22 women who had undergone x-ray or Ra therapy for uterine cancer. In most cases clinical symptoms were absent for many months after treatment, and initially arose as hematuria 9 months to 14 yr later. Incontinence and diminished urinary capacity of the bladder were frequent subsequent signs of damage. In some cases, persistent, long-standing hematuria reflected necrotic changes in the bladder, and in some patients anastomoses between bladder and rectum were formed. In these patients, extirpation of the bladder or plastic surgery was required. Histopathologic studies of these resected bladders showed fibrosismore »« less
