The effects of in vivo ultrasound irradiation of the spleen on immunological functions were assessed with an in vitro natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxic assay. Anesthetized hamsters were exposed to 1 MHz ultrasound at intensity levels currently being used clinically for therapeutic diathermy and hyp

✦ Synopsis
Difluorodeoxycitidine (dFdCyd. gemcitabine) was tested for cytotoxicity in cultured human lung-cancer cells SW I573 in combination with I hr hyperthermia at 43'C. The results show that the timing is extremely important. Simultaneous application led to decreased cytotoxicity, whereas an interval of 20 or 24 hr between exposure to dFdCyd and hyperthermia led to enhanced cell killing. The decrease in cytotoxicity after simultaneous hyperthermia and dFdCyd probably results from inhibition of activation of dFdCyd to the triphosphate metabolite.
