[Intensive chemotherapy of refractory anemia with excess of blasts].

It has been proposed that intensive chemotherapy ror RAEB is dangerous, and a small dose of ara-C therapy is recommended in many institutes for its ability to differentiate leukemic cells. Combination chemotherapy for RAEB, however, has not been completely evaluated. We introduced B-DOMP therapy, which is used in our hospital, for RAEB. B-DOMP therapy includes Behenoyl ara-C, daunomycin, oncovin, 6-MP and prednisolone, which achieved approximately 80% of complete remission of ANLL for adults. Five males and one female of RAEB, aged 40-74 (median 70), were treated by B-DOMP regimen. Two cases achieved complete remission, 2 remained in partial remission and 2 cases died within one month. In three cases, the cause of death was fungal pneumonia. It must be stressed that life-threatening pneumonia was common after chemo therapy for RAEB, and careful protection against fungal infection using laminarair flow is required.

Rhabdomyosarcoma of the maxillary sinus. A case report.

A rare case of adult rhabdomyosarcoma originating from the left maxillary sinus is reported. A 22-year-old Japanese woman was referred to the Department of Otolaryngology, Hiroshima University, for investigation of the primary source of a metastatic tumor in the bone marrow. An X-ray of the sinuses revealed a tumor in the left maxillary sinus with extension into the nasal cavity, ethmoidal and sphenoidal sinuses. The patient was managed with a chemotherapeutic regimen consisting of high-dose methotrexate, adriamycin, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and prednisolone. After three courses of this chemotherapy, the tumor had decreased in size by about 90 per cent, as indicated by X-rays. The remaining tumor was removed by an extended Denker's operation. Following the surgery another seven courses of chemotherapy were given and during the eight months following the operation the patient has been free from any local recurrence.

Determination of the association constants and maximum binding capacities between estradiol and cytosol of the uterus by the least-squares analysis of the Scatchard plot.

The association constants and the binding capacities of association of small molecules with macromolecules have been determined by the tangent analysis, the graphical analysis, and the computer data analysis, by trial and convergence of the Scatchard plot. The analytical method for the calculation of the binding parameters based on the Scatchard plot was derived and the optimum values of the binding parameters were obtained by the least squares calculation based on the analytical method. The errors by the analytical method were smaller than those by the graphical method in the equilibrium system between 3H-estradiol and some cytosols of uterus.
