Protection against Radiotherapy-Induced Toxicity
Radiation therapy is a highly utilized therapy in the treatment of malignancies with up to 60% of cancer patients receiving radiation therapy as a part of their treatment regimen. Radiation therapy does, however, cause a wide range of adverse effects that can be severe and cause permanent damage to the patient. In an attempt to minimize these effects, a small number of compounds have been ident...
متن کاملMechanistic study on aniline-induced erythrocyte toxicity.
Strategies for the use of bio-indicators in the prediction of environmental damage should include mechanistic research. This study involves the relationship between the chemical structure and hemotoxic markers of aniline and its halogenated analogs. Aniline-induced methemoglobinemia, loss of circulating blood cells, blood stability, glutathione depletion and membrane cytoskeletal changes were a...
متن کاملCan exhaled NO fraction predict radiotherapy-induced lung toxicity in lung cancer patients?
BACKGROUND A large increase in nitric oxide fraction (FeNO) after radiotherapy (RT) for lung cancer may predict RT-induced lung toxicity. METHODS In this study, we assessed the relationships between FeNO variations and respiratory symptoms, CT scan changes or dose volume histogram (DVH) parameters after RT. We measured FeNO before RT, 4, 5, 6, 10 weeks, 4 and 7.5 months after RT in 65 lung ca...
متن کاملAcute amiodarone-induced lung toxicity
The toxic effects of amiodarone on the lung are well recognised, but the rapid onset of those effects, especially in the presence of high inspired oxygen concentrations, are perhaps not adequately appreciated. This may be a potential problem in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where amiodarone is frequently used in the treatment of tachydysrhythmias in patients with acute respiratory distress synd...
متن کاملThe impact of spironolactone on the lung injury induced by concomitant trastuzumab and thoracic radiotherapy
Background: To evaluate impact of spironolactone (S) on pulmonary toxicity of concomitant use of thoracic radiotherapy (RT) and trastuzumab (T). Materials and Methods: Eighty rats were divided into eight groups: group (G) 1 was control group; G2, G3 and G4 were RT, S and T groups; G5, G6, G7 and G8 were RT+T, T+S, RT+S and RT+T+S groups respectively. Rats were sacrificed at 6 hour, 21 and 100 ...
