[The atheroprotective importance of estrogen substitution from the social medicine viewpoint].

Due to the increasing life expectancy most women nowadays suffer from menopausal problems. These include not only menopausal symptoms, but also osteoporosis and atherosclerosis. Hormone replacement therapy therefore is a measure for keeping physiological standards. It has both preventive and therapeutic importance, for the individual as well as for the public. In the following we give an overview to these aspects, focusing on prevention of atherosclerosis.

[Low-dose cytosine arabinoside (ARA-C) in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia].

Eleven patients over 70 years of age and two patients under 60 years of age with myeloblastic leukemia have been treated with low doses of cytarabine (10 mg per m2 every 12 hours by subcutaneous injection for a median duration of 3 weeks). Four patients of the first group went into complete remission, 2 patients in the older age group and the 2 patients under 60 years of age went into partial remission, while only 3 patients out of 13 (23%) did not respond to this treatment. Sometimes severe cytopenia observed during the induction phase counterbalanced the advantages of treatment (simplicity and absence of systemic toxicity) and suggest an antimitotic effect which is probably associated with differentiation of the malignant clone.

Delay of diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatoma in rats by carrot feeding.

Carcinogenesis and death caused by diethylnitrosamine(DENA)-induced hepatomas in Sprague Dawley rats can be significantly delayed by feeding only carrots for several days a week. As this result is not obtained by supplementing food with even higher concentrations of synthetic beta-carotene, there must be several other factors which--together with the carotenoid--contribute to the positive effect. Several other possibilities such as effects of fasting, direct interactions with the carcinogen, resorption, vitamin A storage in the liver, etc., are proposed and discussed.
