[Tissue concentration of 5-FU after intra-operative arterial infusion].

The aim of this study was to measure the tissue concentration of anti-cancer agents administered by arterial infusion. After the abdominal cavity was opened, 250 mg of 5-FU diluted in 20 ml saline was infused into the feeding artery in 16 patients with colonic cancer. After the affected lesion was resected, specimens were obtained at the tumor, at sites 5 and 10 cm from the center of the tumor, and at the adjacent nodes. The concentration of 5-FU was higher in the tumor and the adjacent lymph nodes than in the normal colon near the lesion. This suggests that 5-FU has a more favorable distribution profile in tumor tissue than in normal tissue. Patients with a high concentration of 5-FU in the tumor also demonstrated high levels in the other tissue. Blood flow volume and the length of time between the injection of 5-FU and harvest of the specimen may account for differences in the tissue concentration of the agent after administration of the same dose.

Colonic Neoplasms

[A case of ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch associated with hemoptysis and hoarseness].

We experienced a case of the ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch. Patient complained left anterior chest pain, back pain and hoarseness. Considering the past history of pulmonary tuberculosis, emergency operation was performed median sternotomy approach and using aortic occlusion balloon catheter method and selective cerebral perfusion. Woven dacron graft was anastomosis intraluminal aneurysm. Postoperative course was good. Median sternotomy approach and AOBC method were better than intercostal approach method, because of a little bleeding, short operative time and method.

Lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase isoenzymes in tissues of laboratory animals.

The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) isoenzyme distributions in tissues of the ICR mouse, Wistar rat, guinea pig and golden hamster were analyzed by histoelectrophoresis. Tissues obtained were as follows: liver, pancreas, stomach, small intestine, heart, femoral muscle, uterus, kidney, spleen, lymph node, cerebrum, spinal cord and erythrocyte. Histoelectrophoresis was for the direct analysis of LDH and CPK isoenzymes in the tissues and had high practical value compared with previous tissue-extraction methods. In tissues of the mouse, guinea pig and golden hamster, LDH isoenzymes showed five bands. In the rat, LDH isoenzyme was separated into four fractions. CPK isoenzyme showed three bands; BB, MB and MM. In some tissues, the MM band was separated into two sub fractions.
