Abstract: Studies of the effect of pentobarbital anesthesia on the radiation response have been performed using early generation isotransplants of three spontaneous tumors of the C3H mouse: a mammary carcinoma (MCaIV), a fibrosarcoma (FSaII), and a squamous cell...
Abstract: Four-day-old artificial pulmonary micrometastases of two murine fibrosarcomas, designated FSA and NFSA, showed increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation by a factor of 1.13 when animals were exposed to hyperbaric oxygen breathing before and during...
Abstract: A pressure chamber for small laboratory animals was designed that can be operated up to 4 bar. It enables the removal of tissue cryobiopsies at liquid nitrogen temperatures during pressurisation. Relevant systemic parameters of the animals investigated, such...
Abstract: Pentobarbital anesthesia has been observed to increase markedly the effectiveness of respiration of oxygen at 3 atmospheres of pressure absolute to increase the response of early generation isotransplants of C3H mouse tumors to two-dose irradiation. A...
Abstract: The effect of hyperthermia on the size of hypoxic and chronically hypoxic cell fractions in murine tumors was studied. The chronically hypoxic cell fraction was defined as a fraction of tumor cells which were not oxygenated under hyperbaric oxygen. Animals...
Abstract: Tumour oxygenation during exposure to normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen was assessed by means of a cryophotometric micromethod and a specially constructed pressure chamber. The tumours investigated were DS-carcinosarcomas implanted subcutaneously into the...
Abstract: The Anaesthesia and Recovery Service at the Galeazzi Orthopaedic Centre in Milan has an HOT unit where various cases of necrosis following radiotherapy for neoplasias have been and are still being treated. Some cases of radiodermitis and osteoradionecrosis...
Abstract: Chavaudra, Malaise, , , , , , , (1979). In vitro incorporation of [3H]TdR in human and murine solid tumours. Influence of 5-fluorouracil and/or hyperbaric oxygen on spatial distribution of labelling. Cell and tissue kinetics, 1979...
Abstract: Experimental study of rhabdomyosarcoma with successive transplantation upon C3H/He mice, treated by irradiation (Co 60) and combined irradiation-hyperbaric oxygen (HBO), dating from 3, 14 and 15 days after transplantation. The data (tumor volume evolution,...
Abstract: Significant recent achievement in radiotherapy are presented, with brief discussions of brachytherapy, clinical dose-rate effects, ultrafractionation, and total and half-body irradiation. Reports on radiation modifiers, including hyperbaric oxygen, chemical...
