[Drug therapy of extrauterine pregnancy].

Nowadays, ectopic pregnancy is often diagnosed in an intact unruptured condition. This has stimulated various investigators to attempt nonsurgical methods of therapy. Under laparoscopic or ultrasonographic guidance, local injection of methotrexate, prostaglandins, hyperosmolar glucose, potassium chloride or RU 486 are employed. These preparations are also administered systemically. Taking into account specific criteria, most of these nonsurgical measures are comparable with conservative surgical methods. Expectant management proved to be equally successful. The most important prerequisite for nonsurgical therapy of ectopic pregnancy is careful selection.

Nonsurgical management of tubal pregnancy. Necessity in view of the changing clinical appearance.

The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is definitely increasing. Ectopic pregnancies are diagnosed earlier these days because of the improvement in diagnostic means and the increasing awareness of the condition. It seems that there is a dramatic change in the clinical presentation of this disease; it used to be a grave and life-threatening condition, and now it is a more benign presentation. The vast majority of the diagnosed ectopic pregnancies are unruptured. This has stimulated various investigators to attempt nonsurgical methods of treatment such as systemic administration of methotrexate or RU 486 (mifepristone) or local injection of methotrexate, potassium chloride, or prostaglandins under laparoscopic or ultrasonographic guidance. Most of these conservative, nonsurgical measures proved efficient in 80% to 90% of cases. Expectant management, which was practiced in some cases, proved to be equally successful. We believe that the ideal mode of treatment in early unruptured ectopic pregnancy is still to be determined. The answer probably lies in proper selection.

Regulation of transforming growth factor-alpha mRNA expression in T3M4 human pancreatic carcinoma cells.

Cultured human pancreatic cancer cells produce transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), a potent mitogenic polypeptide. In the present study, we investigated the regulation of TGF-alpha mRNA expression in T3M4 human pancreatic carcinoma cells. TGF-alpha mRNA levels were quantitated by densitometric analysis of autoradiographs obtained following hybridization of size-fractionated cytoplasmic RNA with 32P-labeled cRNA coding for human TGF-alpha. There was a twofold increase in TGF-alpha mRNA levels at 2 h following addition of either epidermal growth factor (EGF) or TGF-alpha. However, TGF-alpha mRNA levels declined to near basal levels by 10 h. At 2 h, one-half maximal stimulation of TGF-alpha mRNA levels occurred at 1 nM and maximal stimulation at 4 nM of either EGF or TGF-alpha. The transcriptional inhibitor actinomycin D (Act D) and the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), mimicked the actions of EGF and TGF-alpha. These findings indicate that the regulation of TGF-alpha mRNA expression in T3M4 cells is complex, and is mediated, in part, via the EGF receptor.
