چکیده
Thirty laryngeal carcinomas from patients without pre-existing laryngeal papillomatosis were examined by PCR for the presence of HPV DNA. The utmost care was taken during sectioning of the tissue blocks and DNA-extraction in order to avoid false positive results. Three pairs of consensus primers were used: MY9/MY11, GP51/GP61 and CPI/CPII. HPV was detected in 1/30 carcinomas. The HPV type present could not be determined, but it was not type 6, 11, 13, 16, 18, 30, 31, 33, 35 or 45. In other studies the reported frequency of HPV in laryngeal carcinomas, as estimated by PCR, varies between 3±85%. The reasons for this unacceptable variation in reported results are discussed. The present results indicate that HPV DNA does not have a major role in malignant tumours of the larynx in patients without pre-existing recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis. q 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

Inhibitory effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) on the proliferation of a variety of cancer cell lines have been extensively reported. We have studied the effect of 1,25-(OH)2D3 (10 ±10 M) on the proliferation of a number of human and rat liver cancer cell lines. Additionally, the effect of 1,25-(OH)2D3 (0.02±0.5 mg/kg per day) on the rate of growth of liver cancer cell line xenog...

The development of human malignant mesothelioma (MM) is strongly associated with occupational or environmental exposure to certain natural mineral ®bers, although the genetic mechanisms underlying this malignancy remain unclear. Although the p53 gene is frequently mutated in various tumors, human asbestos-associated MMs appear to develop independently from p53 alterations. The high mesothelioma...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors elicits a strong host immune response and one of its manifestations is a pronounced neutrophilia. By blocking their function prior to Photofrin-based PDT of mouse EMT6 tumors, we have identified multiple mediators whose regulated action is responsible for this neutrophilia. In addition to complement fragments (direct mediators) released as a consequence of P...
