Significance of estrogen and progesterone receptors, disease-free interval, and site of first metastasis on survival of breast cancer patients.

Estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER/PR) were measured in primary tumors and metastases of 397 breast cancer patients. Survival following mastectomy was significantly longer in patients with ER and PR positive tumors, as was survival after first recurrence. The prognostic value of ER and PR was compared with such clinical factors as disease-free interval (DFI) and the dominant site of first metastasis by Cox's regression analysis. With all the different therapy modalities long DFI was the best prognostic indicator. However, in the patient group treated with endocrine therapy, ER and PR positivity was the best prognostic indicator, suggesting that longer survival in receptor positive patients was related to the response to endocrine treatment.

Gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis of 19-nortestosterone urinary metabolites in man.

A sensitive and highly specific method based on capillary column gas chromatography/mass spectrometry has been developed for the detection of 19-nortestosterone (17 beta-hydroxy-4-estren-3-one) metabolites in urine. After intramuscular administration of 19-nortestosterone decanoate to man, urine samples were collected during several days and treated with Helix pomatia digestive juice. The free steroids were extracted and converted into O-methyl-oxime-trimethylsilyl or the trimethylsilyl ether derivatives and analysed by capillary column gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Three isomeric metabolites were detected and identified as 3 alpha-hydroxy-5 alpha-extran-17-one (19-norandrosterone), 3 alpha-hydroxy-5 beta-estran-17-one (19-noretiocholanolone) and 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-estran-17-one (19-norepiandrosterone). Packed column GC/MS was also employed in the selected ion monitoring mode for the specific detection of 19-norandrosterone, the most abundant urinary metabolite of 19-nortestosterone. These gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric methods are highly specific tests which can be used on a routine basis for the confirmation of 19-nortestosterone administration to athletes as well as for therapeutic monitoring following administration of the drug.

Repeated anabolic-androgenic steroid treatment during adolescence increases vasopressin V(1A) receptor binding in Syrian hamsters: correlation with offensive aggression.

Repeated anabolic-androgenic steroid treatment during adolescence increases hypothalamic vasopressin and facilitates offensive aggression in male Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus). The current study investigated whether anabolic-androgenic steroid exposure during this developmental period influenced vasopressin V(1A) receptor binding activity in the hypothalamus and several other brain areas implicated in aggressive behavior in hamsters. To test this, adolescent male hamsters were administered anabolic steroids or sesame oil throughout adolescence, tested for offensive aggression, and examined for differences in vasopressin V(1A) receptor binding using in situ autoradiography. When compared with control animals, aggressive, adolescent anabolic steroid-treated hamsters showed significant increases (20-200%) in the intensity of vasopressin V(1A) receptor labeling in several aggression areas, including the ventrolateral hypothalamus, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, and lateral septum. However, no significant differences in vasopressin V(1A) receptor labeling were found in other brain regions implicated in aggressive responding, most notably the lateral zone from the medial preoptic area to anterior hypothalamus and the corticomedial amygdala. These data suggest that adolescent anabolic steroid exposure may facilitate offensive aggression by increasing vasopressin V(1A) receptor binding in several key areas of the hamster brain.

Experimental changes in mineral content of juvenile mouse femora.

Juvenile laboratory mice were exposed to hypergravity (8 g), burrowing exercise, swimming to exhaustion, an anabolic steroid, and swimming and an anabolic steroid for 30 days to determine the variability of skeletal mineralization during growth. Changes in mineralization were correlated with changes in bending strength. Experimental mouse femora were loaded to failure in a cantilever beam configuration to determine bending strength, and ashed to determine total mineral content. Between experimental groups, mineral content ranged from 66.0 to 71.2% with the greatest change from the control being a 4.7% decrease in mineralization in the male swimming exercise group (P less than 0.001). Within two age-matched experiments, the first showed that the group with the greatest decrease in mineralization also had the greatest reduction in bending strength (P less than 0.001). The second age-matched experiment showed that the group with the greatest reduction in mineralization had bending strength greatly reduced (P less than 0.001). However, in this experiment, the weakest femora were in the anabolic steroid group that did not have the mineral content reduced. We conclude that (1) mineralization of juvenile mouse femora is extremely variable given varied conditions of exercise or loading; (2) mineralization of normal bone is decreased more often and to a greater extent than increased from normal exercise controls; (3) the decrease in mineralization seen here can decrease bending strength; and (4) the decrease in mineralization seen was not caused by a decrease in a mechanical loading but was probably due to a corticosterone-mediated psychological stress response.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
