Description:
Oral administration of E-5842, a new @s"1 receptor ligand being developed as an antipsychotic drug, to male mice at single doses of 50, 100, 200 and 400mg/kg produced marked and sustained decreases in rectal temperature. Both the intensity and the duration of the hypothermic effect increased with dose. Maximum decreases from the mean pre-administration temperature (36.2^oC) ranged from 7.5 to 12.9^oC for animals receiving 50 and 400mg/kg doses, respectively. Examination of bone-marrow smears obtained 24, 48 and 72h after administration revealed a slight but statistically significant (p<0.05) increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCE) at the 48h sampling for animals receiving the 200mg/kg dose. These animals showed decreases from pre-administration temperature of approximately 12^oC, with recovery being observed 24h after administration. When the hypothermic effect of E-5842 administration was avoided by housing treated animals under conditions of increased environmental temperature (30^oC) for 24h, MNPCE frequency reverted to vehicle control values. Further, in E-5842-treated animals with an increased MNPCE frequency there was a shift in the distribution of the relative areas of micronuclei in MNPCE towards higher values. In addition, there was a statistically significant increase (p<0.001) in the number of relatively large micronuclei (micronucleus diameter>=1/4 cytoplasm diameter) similar to that produced by administration of the mitotic spindle inhibitor colchicine (1mg/kg), suggesting disturbance of mitotic apparatus as the possible underlying mechanism. The results suggest that the slight increase in MNPCE frequency observed 48h after administration of a 200mg/kg dose of E-5842 is due to a hypothermic effect and not to a direct effect of E-5842 on DNA. ...

Product Description
This volume deals with "internal" hyperthermia - a type of thermotherapy in which heat is supplied to tumor tissue in situ - which involves three different techniques: (1) interstitial hyperthermia using implanted needle probes, (2) intracavitary hyperthermia using probes introduced into the natural cavities, and (3) perfusional hyperthermia through extracorporal blood heating. Compared with "external" hyperthermia, "internal" hyperthermia has been preferentially accepted by oncologists because it can be more easily combined with other forms of treatment, e. g., interstitial thermotherapy with brachytherapy, or perfusional hyperthermia with chemotherapy. Four different techniques for interstitial and intracavitary heating are presently being used in clinical trials, generally in combination with radiation therapy: radiofrequency electrodes, microwave antennas, hot water tubes, and inductively activated ferromagnetic implants. The principal advantages of interstitial and intracavitary thermotherapy are that: (1) the power deposition can be restricted to the tumor site, which minimizes toxic effects of various kind, and (2) thermal dosimetry can be performed more easily and with greater accuracy. This volume presents the technical and clinical state of the art in interstitial hyperthermia, and gives examples of applications of the other methods of internal hyperthermia in areas of major clinical interest in oncology, i. e., intracavitary hyperthermia in the treatment of cancers of the prostate, bladder, and esophagus and perfusional hyperthermia in the treatment of malignant melanoms. ...
