With the deep research of thermotherapy, many researchers consider that local thermotherapy can stimulate the body's immune system, and relieve the inhibited immune condition of the patients and enhance the body's immunity.
Objective: Intraperitoneal hyperthermia chemoperfusion(IHCP) is a local ancillary treatment after cytoreductive surgery, which combined intraperitoneal chemoperfusion with local thermotherapy.
Objective To observe the clinical effects of the combined treatment of cis-dichlorodiamine platinum (DDP) and the local thermotherapy with microwave for malignant ascites.
METHODS: 18 patients with terminal ovarian carcinoma were treated with TP in combination with local thermotherapy (endogenous field thermotherapeutic system),with the short-term curative effect and toxicities were observed.
Methods:In C57BL/6 mouse was established tumor model by injecting 5×10 6 Leweis Lung carcinoma cells into footpad,and local hyperthermia was performed by water bath at 37℃,43℃,45℃ and 47℃ for 30 min respectively in four groups of the mice. The growth of primary tumor,lung metastasis and the level of sIL-2R were evaluated.
The effects of hyperthermia on phagocytosis and killing of Sporothrix schenckii by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were investigated in order to clarify the mechanism of local thermotherapy for sporotrichosis.
Currently, large randomised phase III studies are in progress to determine whether the addition of local hyperthermia to radiation or chemotherapy yields significant advantage.
A total of 95 patients suffering from prostatic symptoms due to benign hyperplasia (BPH) and scheduled for surgery elected to participate in a clinical trial of local hyperthermia therapy to the prostate.
A total of 114 patients suffering from prostatic symptoms due to benign hyperplasia (BPH) and scheduled for surgery elected to participate in a clinical trial of local hyperthermia therapy to the prostate.
The Lewis lung carcinoma was transplanted into subcutaneous tissues of the black BDF1 mouse. Twelve days later,the tumors were heated with WZJ-1 theraputic machine at 43 ℃ for 50min. Observations were made under light and electron microscope to find the morphological changes of the damaged tumor cells. At 17th day after transplantation, metastasis of tumor was observed. The result was as follows:local hyperthermia inhibited both the growth of the primary tumor and (P<0. 05) metastasis significantly (P<0. 01...
Objective: To determine the efficacy of microwave heating on host immunity. Methods:Ten patients with osteosarcoma were treatred with tumor resection and intraoperative microwave heating on tumor bone in site at 50 °C for 15 minutes. The T cell immunity of the patients was investigated pre and postoperattively. Results: The immune response of the patients were supressed before operation and the proportions of T lympjocytes subset changed immediataly after operation. CD 3 increased as two times as preoperat...
