BACKGROUND: Crohns disease can cause strictures throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic balloon dilatation is a well-established treatment, but recurrence is seen in up to three out of four cases. Infliximab is playing an increasingly important role in the modern systemic treatment of severe Crohns disease. Combining the anti-inflammatory effects of infliximab with the proven effect of endoscopic balloon dilatation could possibly improve outcome. In small studies, intralesional injections in perianal fistulas have been effective and endoscopic injection therapy in colonic strictures is feasible. OBJECTIVE: We wanted to assess whether serial intralesional injection of infliximab in small bowel strictures is feasible and reduces local inflammation. METHODS: We included six patients with Crohns disease and inflammatory small bowel strictures. They were treated with endoscopic serial balloon dilatation. Subsequent to each dilatation, 40 mg infliximab was injected submucosally. A ...

Abstract Body: PV-10 is a 10% solution of Rose Bengal that is currently being examined as a novel cancer therapeutic. In melanoma patients, intralesional injection (IL) of PV-10 has led to regression of injected lesions as well as distant metastases. In this study, we examined the efficacy and potential immune mechanism of PV-10 treatment in murine models of breast cancer and melanoma. In BALB/c mice bearing MT-901 breast cancer, injection of PV-10 led to regression of injected and untreated contralateral subcutaneous lesions (p,0.05 compared to IL-PBS-treated mice). A significant increase in survival was observed in mice treated with PV-10. To examine immune response, MT901-specific IFN-gamma production and cytotoxicity were measured in splenocytes collected from mice treated with IL-PBS or IL-PV-10. MT901-bearing mice treated with IL-PV-10 demonstrated enhanced IFN-gamma production (992 ± 453 pg/ml) compared to splenocytes from PBS-treated mice (174 ± 105, p,0.05). In addition, a significant ...

Background: Upper airway compromise due to tracheobronchial stenosis commonly occurs in patients with Wegeners granulomatosis (WG). There is at present no consensus on the optimal management of this life threatening condition. Objective: To assess the results of laryngo-tracheobronchoscopy, intralesional steroid therapy, laser surgery and dilatation in managing obstructive tracheobronchial WG. Methods: Records of 18 previously untreated stridulous patients with obstructive tracheobronchial WG, treated between 2004 and 2006, were prospectively recorded on an airway database and retrospectively reviewed. Information about patient and lesion characteristics and treatment details were recorded. Treatment progress was illustrated using a timeline plot, and intervention-free intervals were calculated with actuarial analysis. Results: There were nine males and the average age at presentation was 40 (16) years (range 13-74). There were 13 patients with tracheal and five with tracheal and bronchial ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Inter-patient and intra-tumor heterogeneity in the sensitivity to tumor-targeted immunity in colorectal cancer. AU - Miyauchi, Tsubasa. AU - Yaguchi, Tomonori. AU - Kawakami, Yutaka. PY - 2017. Y1 - 2017. N2 - Efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors such as PD-1 antibody for colorectal cancer remains to be proved except in microsatellite- instability-high (MSI-H) cases. While the objective response rate of MSI-H cases was 40%, that of microsatellite-stable (MSS) cases was 0%, showing that response rate to immune checkpoint inhibitors varies even among the microsatellite status. Some possible mechanisms that confer each patient variation in the response to immunotherapy should be considered. We focused on the combination of inter-patient heterogeneity and intra-tumor heterogeneity as a determining factor of immune reaction. An example of intra-tumor heterogeneity is the low expression of tumor antigen by CD271+ cells in melanoma. It is not surprising that similar mechanism exists ...

IL-12 gene therapy may induce antitumor effects and potentially avoid the systemic toxicity associated with IL-12 protein immunotherapy (5, 27, 46-48). Prior studies have tested direct transfer of IL-12 cDNA into tumor, either using certain tumor cells engineered in vitro to release IL-12 (3, 30, 48) or using direct intratumoral injection of an adenovirus expressing IL-12 DNA (34) or a Canarypox virus expressing IL-12 vector (49). In addition, particle-mediated transfer of IL-12 cDNA was effectively used to treat murine tumors (2, 5, 28). All of these methods could inhibit tumor growth and induce antitumor immunity. Direct intratumoral injection of IL-12 cDNA, either naked or in complex with a liposome formulation, may provide an alternative, simpler, and safer gene transfer method compared with localized or systemic viral gene vector therapy. Liposomes have been used previously as a delivery agent incorporating nonviral plasmid vectors encoding other cytokine genes, including IL-2 and IL-4, to ...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors, including those targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), are reshaping cancer therapeutic strategies. Evidence suggests, however, that tumor response and patient survival are determined by tumor programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. We hypothesized that preconditioning of the tumor immune microenvironment using targeted, virus-mediated interferon (IFN) stimulation would up-regulate tumor PD-L1 protein expression and increase cytotoxic T cell infiltration, improving the efficacy of subsequent checkpoint blockade. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) represent a promising form of cancer immunotherapy. For brain tumors, almost all studies to date have used direct intralesional injection of OV, because of the largely untested belief that intravenous administration will not deliver virus to this site. We show, in a window-of-opportunity clinical study, that intravenous infusion of oncolytic human Orthoreovirus (referred to herein as reovirus) leads to infection of ...

The tumor-inhibitory effect of an intralesional injection of Propionibacterium acnes was of limited duration (finite). Our model was the DBA/2 syngeneic mouse injected with P815 mastocytoma cells (5 × 105) into each rear footpad; only the left was treated, leaving the right as a pseudometastasis. The finite effect occurred at approximately 21 days after the first treatment. Subsequent i.p. treatments with P. acnes did not alter this effect, although they increased mean survival time. With one footpad tumor, we achieved 22% cures with complete regression and no sign of metastatic growth. A RNA fraction from P. acnes produced inhibition of tumor growth, but crude cell walls and cell walls treated with Pronase had no effect. A P. acnes cytoplasmic fraction with tumor-inhibitory activity was pelleted by high-speed centrifugation; this fraction inhibited P815 mastocytoma as fully as whole cells injected in one-fifth the dose on a nitrogen basis and did not cause a local inflammatory reaction. ...

Introduction: Stem cells are unspecialized cells in the body capable of developing into specialized cells with specific functions workingas a repair system. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are the most currently used. Scarred vocal folds cause severe voice problems. Nowadays there is no therapy that can successfully treat this condition. Aim: Evaluate the results of intraoperative and intralesional injection of autologous MSCs in the repair and healing process of chronic scarred vocal folds in patients with prior failure to usual therapies. Material and method: Prospective pilot study that includes three patients. MSCs were isolated and expanded from bone marrow taken from ...

Thirty cows from a pedigree Friesian dairy herd with bovine vulva papilloma and carcinoma were treated by intralesional injections of live bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). This treatment induced total regression of all of six carcinomas. Whilst, after treatment, limited regression was also observed in advanced papillomas, BCG has little or no effect on the early stages of papillomas. This is the first study of BCG therapy in this type of cancer.

Poor healing of tendon and ligament lesions often results in early retirement of sport horses. Regenerative therapies are therefore being explored as alternative treatment for these injuries. In this study, an intralesional injection was performed with allogeneic tenogenically induced MSCs and PRP 5 to 6 days after diagnosis of SL (n=68) or SDFT (n=36) lesion. Clinical, lameness and ultrasonographic evaluation was performed at 6 and 12 weeks. Moreover, a survey was performed 12 and 24 months after treatment to determine how many horses were competing at original level and how many re-injured. At 6 weeks 88.2% of SL (n=68) and 98.2% of SDFT lesions (n=36) demonstrated moderate ultrasonographic improvement. At 12 weeks, 93.1% of SL (n=29) and 95.5% of SDFT lesions (n=22) improved convincingly. Moreover, lameness was abolished in 78.6% of SL and 85.7% of SDFT horses at 12 weeks. After 12 months (n=92) 11.8% of SL and 12.5% of SDFT horses re-injured, whereas 83.8% and 79.2% returned to previous level,

The pericardial fluid that was drained was sent for laboratory analysis, including microbial testing. Cultures were positive for septate mycelia, compatible with a diagnosis of cardiac fungal infection. This, along with the clinical presentation, was diagnostic of a cardiac aspergilloma. Due to rarity of the condition and high degree of fatality associated with the lesion in reported cases in the literature (1-4), the management of the condition posed a dilemma. Surgical resection of the mass and/or direct intralesional injection of amphotericin B were considered as possible approaches but both the ideas were shelved due to fear of spreading the disease to the other uninvolved parts of the myocardium. The final consensus was to initially treat the patient with intravenous amphotericin B with close monitoring of patients condition and to repeat CMRs at regular intervals. A repeat CMR showed no change in the size of the mass, and surgical intervention was once again considered and finally ...

There is only one nonsurgical alternative for treatment of deeply invasive basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma that is not radiation. That treatment is intralesional chemotherapy. It is a rarely employed and actually works. Although 5-fluorouracil is the most common intralesional chemotherapeutic option for BCC and SCC, many other agents have been shown to be as effective. They include bleomycin and various interferon subgroups. For squamous cell carcinomas, intralesional methotrexate has also been shown to be effective. Several studies published on the subject show various 5-fluorouracil treatment regimens. The average intralesional 5-FU course occurred 1 to 3 times per week and lasted 2 to 8 weeks. The dose of IL 5-FU (50 mg/ml concentration) ranged from 10-150 mg per injection. The median dose was approximately 50 mg (1cc). The results are impressive with cure rates in the high 90th percentile. What makes this treatment unproven is the limited follow up of these studies of 2 ...

therapy.. In addition, intralesional therapy with either of two cytokines-namely, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF, Leukine)1 and interleukin-2 (IL-2, Proleukin)2-each gave promising results, but they were never used sequentially or in combination. Intralesional therapy with GM-CSF can increase the number and activation of dendritic cells,3 which are very efficient antigen-presenting cells that are capable of processing tumor antigens and crosstalk to lymphocytes. On the other hand, IL-2 administration can stimulate and activate tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, which can result in the induction of cytotoxic T cells. Therefore, we felt that sequential intralesional administration of intralesional GM-CSF followed by IL-2 might complement one another, using the patients own tumor as a source for tumor antigens.. Exploratory Study. In an exploratory study in patients with dermal and subdermal metastatic melanoma, we explored the use of intra lesional therapy with low-dose ...

Lastly, we examined heterotypic interactions between tumor cells and cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) to understand the mechanism of resistance to lapatinib. Using a 3D co-culture model, we identified significant sub-type-specific changes in gene expression, metabolic, and therapeutic sensitivity profiles of breast cancer cells induced by CAFs. We identified JAK2/STAT3 pathway and CAF-secreted hyaluronan as major factors contributing to CAF-mediated protection. We also found that close spatial proximity to CAFs impacts therapeutic responses by affecting proliferation rates of cancer cells ...

Guest Editors: Christina Curtis and Florian Markowetz. Genomic research has helped us realize that cancer cells are dynamic populations that respond to different cues. Cancer cells can be viewed as diverse individuals, similar to humans within a population, with both intra-tumor heterogeneity and inter-tumor heterogeneity. One population can change to another over time, they evolve and migrate along with the changes of their microenvironment, with or without therapies. These changes happen gradually and understanding this dynamic process is helping us to manage cancer as a chronic disease. Genome Biology has launched the special issue on Cancer Evolution and Metastasis to showcase the recent efforts in understanding the mechanisms driving cancer evolution, heterogeneity, and metastasis.. ...

Numerous treatments exist for capillary hemangiomas. Small non-elevated lesions can frequently be observed. First-line treatment for larger lesions typically includes corticosteroids, which can be administered topically (0.05% clobetasol cream) for superficial lesions, by intralesional injection (40mg/mL triamcinolone and 6mg/mL betamethasone) for intermediate or periorbital lesions, and orally (2mg/kg/day) for refractory lesions.(7) Corticosteroids carry signifcant risk, with systemic corticosteroids potentially causing growth retardation, personality changes, infections, adrenal crisis, diabetes risk, and even rebound growth on cessation.(8) Topical clobetasol cream minimizes many of these risks but still causes dermal atrophy and pigmentary changes, and it can take several weeks to achieve a therapeutic response.(8) Intralesional corticosteroid injection is often used as a first-line treatment, although it adds the risk of central retinal artery occlusion, which has been reported in the ...

Alopecia areata, also known as spot baldness, Often it results in a few bald spots on the scalp, each about the size of a coin. People are generally otherwise healthy. A persons genetic makeup, combined with other factors, triggers this form of hair loss. People with alopecia areata may have a higher risk for: Another autoimmune disease such as thyroid disease or vitiligo (patches of lighter skin appear) and etc Alopecia areata is believed to be an autoimmune disease resulting from a breach in the immune privilege The underlying mechanism involves failure by the body to recognize its own cells with subsequent immune mediated destruction of the hair follicle. In some cases the hair regrows and the condition does not reoccur. In others hair loss and regrowth occurs over years. There is no cure for the condition. Efforts may be used to try to speed hair regrowth such as cortisone injections Intralesional corticosteroid injections ...

In this case sarcoidosis was diagnosed on the basis of histological evidence of non-caseating granulomata, negative culture for acid fast bacilli or fungi, the high serum level of ACE, anergy to PPD, and routine chest roentgenography.. The prevalence of ophthalmic manifestation in sarcoidosis is 22%.1 Ocular involvement includes anterior and posterior uveitis, secondary glaucoma, cataracts, lesions of lacrimal gland, conjunctiva, cornea, sclera, and optic nerve.2 Eyelid nodules are present in 3% of the patients with chronic sarcoid.3 The most common manifestations are small papules,1 though papular eruptions, larger nodules, lupus pernio, ulcerated nodules, and plaques and swollen eyelids have been reported.2 The ocular and adnexal involvement is more easily recognised in a patient with known sarcoidosis. The localised eyelid involvement seen in our patient, as a presenting feature of sarcoidosis, is an unreported finding.. Intralesional corticosteroid injection appears to be the only useful ...

Necrobiosis lipoidica is a chronic inflammatory granulomatous disease of unknown cause.1,2 About 11% to 65% of cases are associated with diabetes mellitus.1,2 The average ages of onset of diabetes-related and non-diabetes-related necrobiosis lipoidica are 25 and 46 years, respectively, and the female to male ratio is 3:1.2 Typical lesions begin as reddish-brown papules, which later become yellowish plaques with central atrophy, telangiectasia and raised violaceous borders.1 They occur most frequently on the shins, followed by the scalp, face and upper limbs.2. Ulceration can occur in up to one-third of cases, usually after minor trauma.3 Squamous cell carcinoma is a rare complication of the condition, appearing on average about 20 years after diagnosis.3 There is no evidence that good glycemic control reduces the occurrence of skin lesions.1 Topical and intralesional corticosteroids are considered first-line treatment to limit further progression of the lesion, but the response varies.1 ...

As discussed above, no satisfying therapeutic options exist for treatment of locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer. The prognosis is dismal with a six-month progression-free survival of approximately 50% and a median survival of about 11 months [5].. The first open, non-randomized clinical trial with ParvOryx, referred to as ParvOryx01, evaluated safety and tolerability as well as antitumor activity and clinical efficacy in patients with progressive primary or recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). ParvOryx01 was completed in May 2015 [18]. The investigated doses ranged between 1E06 and 5E09 pfu. They were administered as combination of either multiple intravenous infusions or a single intratumoral injection and multifocal intracerebral injections at the end of tumor resection surgery.

Cross-priming T cell responses is the code name for their mission, which consists of taking up antigen from transformed cells or their debris, migrating to lymphoid tissue ferrying the antigenic cargo, and meeting specific T cells. This must be accomplished in such an immunogenic manner that specific T lymphocytes would mount a robust enough response as to fully reject the malignancy. To improve their immunostimulating activity, local gene ...

Despite twenty years of scientific research, systemically administered radiolabelled MAbs have failed to demonstrate any significant therapeutic benefit. The fundamental barrier to success, in brain tumours, is the low percentage of the injected antibody taken up per gram of tumour (, 0.001%). This study builds on these experiences but utilises modern advances in stereotactic neurosurgery and computer graphics. It investigates the role of intralesional administration in an attempt to increase local uptake at first in experimental tumours and then in patients whose symptoms and eventual outcome are dictated by their local tumour. In the laboratory, the percentage of the injected activity taken up per gram of tumour (%ID/g) was three times greater following intralesional (IL) rather than systemic administration (Students t-test, p=0.012). Whereas, doses to the systemic organs were significantly lower following IL administration (Students t-test, p=0.041). Antibody specificity was found to be an ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Advances in the biological therapy and gene therapy of malignant disease. AU - Hersh, Evan M.. AU - Stopeck, Alison T.. PY - 1997/12/1. Y1 - 1997/12/1. N2 - Biological and gene therapy of cancer have become important components of clinical cancer research. Advances in this area are based on evidence for the presence of tumor antigens, antitumor immune responses, evasion of host control by tumors, and the recognition of host defense failure in cancer patients. These mechanisms are being corrected or exploited in the development of biological and gene therapy. Over the last decade, 9 biological therapies have received Food and Drug Administration approval, and another 12 appear promising and will likely be approved in the next few years. Our approach to gene therapy has been to allogenize tumors by the direct intratumoral injection of HLA-B7/β2-microglobulin genes as plasmid DNA in a cationic lipid into patients with malignant melanoma. In four Phase I studies, we found a 36% ...

Talimogene laherparepvec is a genetically modified herpes simplex virus-1-based oncolytic immunotherapy for the local treatment of unresectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, and nodal tumors in patients with melanoma recurrence following surgery. We aim to describe the safety of talimogene laherparepvec. Intralesional talimogene laherparepvec was administered at less than or equal to 4 ml×10 PFU/ml at protocol day 1, then less than or equal to 4 ml×10 PFU/ml 21 days later, and then every 14 days. Treatment continued until complete response, absence of injectable tumors, progressive disease, intolerance, or US Food and Drug Administration approval ...

The primary objective of this Phase I study was to determine the safety of a single injection of Onyx-015 by intratumoral injection in patients with recurrent HNSCC. The results obtained showed that toxicity was very minor, with the main symptoms being mild flu-like symptoms. Two patients did experience mild pain on injection, and this was related to the volume of the injected solution. The pain resolved within 1 h and rarely required any further analgesia. The maximum dose injected was 1011 pfu, and this did not produce any serious adverse effects. The maximum tolerated dose was clearly not reached in this study, but dose escalation ceased because the limit of virus manufacturing capacity had been reached. This lack of toxicity is very encouraging and suggests that perhaps more potent replicating viruses can be explored in future trials. Safety data were also encouraging because no virus was detected in either blood samples or the injection site and oropharyngeal swabs, and this suggested that ...

Multiple subclonal populations of tumor cells may coexist inside the same tumor. environmental affects, and discuss how understanding obtained from microbial experimental progression studies may instruction us to recognize and understand essential selective elements that promote intra-tumor heterogeneity. Furthermore, we discuss how these elements LAQ824 could be utilized to immediate and optimize analysis efforts to really improve LAQ824 individual care, concentrating on healing level of resistance. Finally, we emphasize the necessity for longitudinal research to handle the impact of the potential tumor heterogeneity-promoting elements on drug level of resistance, metastatic potential and scientific final result. Patterns of tumor progression In 1976, Peter Nowell released a landmark paper LAQ824 [1] where he used the evolutionary biology idea of survival from the fittest towards the field of tumor development; he suggested that tumor cells will go through adjustments (acquire mutations), and ...

Many liver cancer tumors contain a highly diverse set of cells, a phenomenon known as intra-tumor heterogeneity that can significantly affect the rate at which the cancer grows, Mount Sinai researchers report. The immune systems contribution to this heterogeneity can have major clinical implications.
