Adaptive response in mammalian cells: crossreactivity of different pretreatments on cytotoxicity as contrasted to mutagenicity.
Pretreatment of H4 (rat hepatoma) cells for 48 hr with low nontoxic doses of alkylating agents [methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea] renders the cells more resistant to the toxic effect of these compounds. Crossreactivity for survival is also observed with the different alkylating agents tested. Pretreatment with MNNG enables th...
متن کاملPhototherapy with Narrowband UVB
Phototherapy with ultraviolet (UV) radiation of wavelengths between 280 and 320 nm (UVB) is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of diseases. In addition to standard broadband UVB (bUVB), narrowband phototherapy with fluorescent bulbs emitting near monochromatic UV around 311 nm (nUVB) has become an important treatment for diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and vitiligo. In a...
متن کاملCytotoxicity and mutagenicity of low intensity, 248 and 193 nm excimer laser radiation in mammalian cells.
The cytotoxicity of 193 and 248 nm excimer laser radiation was compared to that produced by a germicidal lamp (predominantly 254 nm) using Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO), and a human diploid fibroblast line, AG-1522A. Excimer laser radiation at 248 nm (3.5 X 10(2) w/m2) and germicidal radiation (5.3 X 10(-5) w/m2) caused toxicity in both cell lines, with the AG-1522A cells (D37 = 7-8 J/m2) b...
متن کاملNarrowband UVB-induced lichen planus pemphigoide
Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) is an autoimmune disease characterised by evolution of subepidermal blisters on normal and lichen planus affected skin. We describe a case of LPP in a 54-year-old Chinese woman. The patient presented with psoriasiform plaques and was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis. Narrowband ultraviolet B (NBUVB) therapy was commenced, and she experienced a generalised erupti...
متن کاملGranuloma annulare treated with narrowband UVB phototherapy*
Granuloma annulare is a benign cutaneous inflammatory disease, whose lesions have spontaneous improvement in two years in 50% of cases, but there is recurrence in 40% of patients. Treatment may be topical, intralesional or systemic. The use of phototherapy with narrowband UVB is highlighted, whose mechanism of action in this disease is still unclear, probably related to the inhibition of T lymp...
