The results of our previous studies (Jamison et al. 1988, 1989, 1990 a, b, c, d, e) have shown that the ability of intercalative dyes to modulate the antiviral activity of poly r(A-U) is related to the groove through which the dyes intercalate into…

Immortalized human lymphoid cells treated with Methyl-2,5-dihydroxycinnamate (MDHC), a stable analog of erbstatin, inhibited the G2/M transition of the cell cycle. The MDHC inhibition of the cell cycle was observed at concentrations well below the…

When Mg2+ or ethidium bromide (EB) were combined with poly r(A-U) at a ligand/ribonucleotide ratio of 1/4, the antiviral activity of the Mg2+ and EB increased 136-fold and 154-fold. Eriochrome Blue SE was employed to visualize the subcellular…

Good models for the investigation of human prostate cancer are few. Cells from approximately 9.2-21 ml of peripheral blood from patients with metastatic prostate cancer or metastatic colon cancer were injected s.c. into nude mice. Prostate cancer…

Objective. To assess feasibility of early discharge of patients after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with an indwelling Foley catheter. Methods. A retrospective study comparing a planned early discharge group and a standard post-TURP…

An unusual complication of papaverine injection therapy is reported. A pyogenic granuloma formed after a single test dose of papaverine. Diagnosis, therapy and course of the patient are outlined.

Human prostate cancer cells (DU145) implanted into nude mice are deficient in DNase activity. After administration of a vitamin C/vitamin K-3 combination, both alkaline DNase (DNase I) and acid DNase (DNase II) activities were detected in…

The tumor growth-inhibiting and chemo-potentiating effects of vitamin C and K(3)combinations have been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of orally administered vitamin C and K-3 on the…

In the present study we examined the ultrastructural modifications as well as the precise distribution of DNA and RNA in RT4 cell nucleoli following a 3-h exposure to nontoxic or toxic doses of ametantrone (AMT), poly(adenylate-uridylate)…

A micro-tetrazolium assay was employed to evaluate vitamin C (VC), vitamin K-3 (VK3) and vitamin C/vitamin K-3 combinations (VC/VK3) for their antitumor activity against eight human urologic tumor cell lines. While the individual vitamins exhibited…

`Deficiency of alkaline and acid DNase is a hallmark in all non-necrotic cancer cells in animals and humans. These enzymes are reactivated at early stages of cancer cell death by vitamin C (acid DNase) and vitamin K-3 (alkaline DNase). Moreover, the…

Background: The objective was to evaluate the cytotoxic effect and mechanism of action of vitamins C (VC) and K-3 (VK3) on ovarian carcinoma. Materials and Methods: Cytotoxicity assays were performed on ovarian cancer cell lines with VC, VK3 or a…
