Chronic tenosynovitis of the tibialis posterior tendon and the use of tenography.

Tenosynovitis of the tibialis posterior tendon and the use of the tenogram is presented. The tenogram is used as a diagnostic aid in determining the etiology as well as the course of treatment of a symptomatic tibialis posterior tendon. Various treatments for tenosynovitis have also been described.

Immunotherapy of tumor metastasis via gene therapy.

Active cellular immunotherapy of cancer, via gene-modified tumor cells, may develop to an effective treatment modality. Here we discuss some of the cytokines used in gene transfer, the importance of MHC class I expression on tumor cells used as vaccines, the relevance of experimental tumor systems to human tumors, and the use of live versus irradiated vaccines. Possible methods for effective gene transfer and possible protocols for immunotherapy studies are presented. Our studies in two highly metastatic murine tumors, the Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) and the B16 melanoma, and immune mechanisms involved in immunotherapy of metastasis are summarized.

Effect of treatment with the methanol extraction residue fraction of killed tubercle bacilli (MER) on the development of spontaneous pulmonary metastases from syngeneic implants of tumor 3LL in C57B1 mice.

Treatment of C57B1 mice with the methanol extraction residue fraction of killed tubercle bacilli (MER) shortly before or after surgical removal of a syngeneic implant of lung carcinoma 3LL reduced the incidence of spontaneous, fatally progressing pulmonary metastases in a large number of instances. Under certain conditions, the protective action of MER was pronounced and statistically significant. Small quantities of MER (0.2 mg) were optimally effective, when administered i.p. two days before or one day after excision of the initial implant.
