555. Effect of the type of application of Newcastle disease virus on the Ehrlich ascites tumorTomaž Milanez, Robert Košak, Anton Cerar, 1996, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the tumours. Most authors use peritumoral application of virus. The purpose of our studz was to compare the effects of the ip in contrast to sc application of the virus on the ip and sc transplanted Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) in CBA/H mouse. We measured the length of survival, the tumor cure rates, the metastatic rate, and the frequencz of ascites and sc tumors in the site of ip EAT injection. Prolongation of survival after the therapy with NDV in ip transplanted EAT average time of survival in control group was 70.5 days, and 107 and 79.9 days with ip and sc NDV virus therapy respectively. The differences were significant only between control group and the group treated with ip application of NDV. Tumor cure rates were: ipNDV group 30%, scNDV group 20% and control group 5%. NDV therapy in sc transplanted EAT prolonged the time of survival; in control group it was 63.3 days, and 75.2 and 65.9 days with ip and sc NDV therapy respectively. NDV therapy inhibited metastatic rate of ip transplanted EAT. Inhibition was more effective with ip application of NDV. VIrus therapz also lowered the frequencz of appearance of ascites and sc tumour in the site of ip EAT injevtion. In sc transplanted EAT ip application of NDV inhibited the metastatic rate while in sc applied NDV some stimulation of metastasation was found. Ip application of NDV was found to be superior in contrast to sc application in all its therapeutic effects against EAT. Our results show that the tumor inhibition of NDV, in the system we used, has the characteristics of the biological response modifiers.

557. Differential diagnosis between bone metastases and osteomalaciaBranko Zakotnik, Simona Borštnar, Tadeja Movrin, Boris Jančar, Andreja Zidar, 1996, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: In oncology the diagnosis of skeletal metastases is a frequent one, in infact so frequent that other diagnoses such as metabolic bone diseases affecting patients with cancer may be overlooked. In our report two cases of osteomalacia referred to an oncologist are presented; in both of them the diagnosis of diffuse bone metastases of unknown origin was suspected. The differential diagnosis is discussed and the importance of bone marrow biopsy using Yamshidi needle for diagnosis of metabolic bone disease is emphasized.

558. Advantages and disadvantages of hormone replacement therapySonja Bebar, Marjetka Uršič-Vrščaj, 1996, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: In the developed countries, more than 30% of female population is in the postmenopusal period of their life. Approximately one third of these present with severe clinical menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes, sleeplessness, night sweats, and depression. Many women search medical help. By means of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), these problems can be either completely eliminated or alleviated in 90% of women. The suspected association between HRT and risk of carcinoma should be ignored, however. While estrogens in combination with progestogens exert a protective effec against ovarian and endometrial carcinomas, a possible correlation between HRT and breast cancer has not been fully explained yet. Nevertheless, some published reports have indicated a slightly increased risk of breast cancer after a prolonged use of HRT.

559. Prognostic value of staging laparotomy in supradiaphragmatic clinical stage I and II Hodgkin's diseaseMarjeta Vovk, Tatjana Šumi-Križnik, Marija Jenko-Fidler, Gabrijela Petrič-Grabnar, Marinka Kremžar, Janez Novak, Mojca Senčar, Branko Zakotnik, Alenka Vodnik-Cerar, Branimir Jakšić, 1996, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: In the period 1974-1989, 219 patients with supradiaphragmatic clinical stage I and II Hodgkin's disease were treated at the Institute of Oncology in Ljubljana; of these 95 (43%) patients underwent staging laparotomy. Of laparotomized patients, those with pathological stage III-IV, and of non-laparotomized, those with unfavorable prognostic factors (B-symptoms, bulky mediastinum) received chemotherapy: the remaining patients were treated by irradiation. No statistically significant difference in the survival and disease-free survival between laparotomized and nonlaparotomized patients could be found.

560. Gastric emptying in rats with gastroduodenal disease induced by N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and alcoholDražigost Pokorn, Anton Cerar, 1996, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The rate of gastric emptying was measured with a dye dilution technique in rats treated with N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and alcohol. Gastric emptying was compared in rats with gastroduodenal inflamatory diseases and gastroduodenal neoplasms, and in those without gastroduodenal disease. Gasttric emptying was found to be significantly increased following the intragastric injection of liquid meal in rats with gastroduodenal diseases as opposed to the control group of healthy rats. These findings suggest than an increased gastric emptying of liquids can be explained by abolition on the relaxation of the gastric wall in rats with gastroduodenal diseases.
