چکیده
The effects of retinyl acetate (RA) on the development of carcinogen-induced metaplastic lung nodules were investigated. Four mg of 3-methylcholanthrene were administered intratracheally to F344 rats maintained on a vitamin A-free diet and receiving 31.4 nmoles of RA per week by intragastric intubation. At 3, 5, and 10 weeks after intratracheal instillation of 3-methylcholanthrene, one group of 24 rats each was started on a weekly dose of 31,400 nmoles of RA; a control group was continued on the low-RA dose. Fifty-two weeks after 3-methylcholanthrene injection, the incidence of metaplastic lung nodules was found to be 3% in the combined high-RA-dose groups as compared with 42% in the low-RA-dose group. It is therefore concluded that RA has a significant effects on the postinitiation phase of preneoplastic lung nodules in rats.

Vitamin A and the susceptibility of respiratory tract tissues to carcinogenic insult.
The influence of vitamin A on the development of chemically induced lung carcinomas in rats was investigated. Rats were maintained on low, "normal" and excess levels of retinyl acetate (RA). Respiratory tract-squamous carcinomas were induced by intratracheal injections of 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MCA). The carcinogen doses used ranged from 1.25 to 10.0 mg of 3-MCA. Serial sacrifices conducted du...
متن کاملAutomated classification of pulmonary nodules through a retrospective analysis of conventional CT and two-phase PET images in patients undergoing biopsy
Objective(s): Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination is commonly used for the evaluation of pulmonary nodules since it provides both anatomical and functional information. However, given the dependence of this evaluation on physician’s subjective judgment, the results could be variable. The purpose of this study was to develop an automated scheme for the classific...

Occurrence of adhesions after pelvic and abdominal surgery is a well known problem. Previous surgical procedures are by far the most common cause of intra abdominal a adhesion. In over 10℅ of infertile women, adhesion formation is the main cause of their problem. Moreover postoperative adhesions are the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in the Western world. Although the cause of ...
متن کاملα-Retinol and 3,4-didehydroretinol support growth in rats when fed at equimolar amounts and α-retinol is not toxic after repeated administration of large doses.
Dietary α-carotene is present in oranges and purple-orange carrots. Upon the central cleavage of α-carotene in the intestine, α-retinal and retinal are formed and reduced to α-retinol (αR) and retinol. Previous reports have suggested that αR has 2% biopotency of all-trans-retinyl acetate due in part to its inability to bind to the retinol-binding protein. In the present work, we carried out thr...
