RESUMEN
Octreotide is a somatostatin analogue binding on two receptor subtypes. In previous trials Octreotide showed inhibitory effects on tumour growth and liver metastasis in experimental pancreatic cancer. Thus we evaluated whether the new somatostatin analogue SOM-230 binding on 4 receptor subtypes has superior effects on carcinogenesis in pancreatic carcinoma. About 120 Syrian hamsters were randomised into six groups (n = 20): Gr.1: Aqua/Aqua, Gr.2: BOP/Aqua, Gr.3: Aqua/Octreotide, Gr.4: BOP/Octreotide, Gr.5: Aqua/SOM-230, Gr.6: BOP/SOM-230. Tumour groups 2,4,6 subcutaneously received 10 mg/kg body weight N-nitrosobis-2-oxopropylamin (BOP) weekly for 10 weeks, healthy control Gr.1,3,5 were given aqua. In the 17th week therapy started with Octreotide and SOM-230 for 16 weeks, after 32 weeks animals were sacrificed. Pancreas and liver were histopathologically analysed. Hepatic lipidperoxidation was determined by activities of antioxidative enzymes gluthation-peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxiddismutase (SOD) as well as concentration of thiobarbituric-acid reactive substances (TBARS). Incidence of liver metastases was 88.2% in Gr.2 (BOP/Aqua), it was decreased in Gr.4 (BOP/Octreo: 40%) and Gr.6 (BOP/SOM-230: 50%) (P < 0.05). Mean number/animal and mean-2-dimensional size of liver metastases did not differ between tumour groups. Comparing GSH-Px-activity in intrametastatic and extrametastatic hepatic tissue revealed a significant increase extrametastatically in Gr.2 (BOP/Aqua) and Gr.6 (BOP/SOM-230). SOD-activity in liver metastases was decreased in Gr.2 (1,801) (P < 0.05) versus Gr.4 (8,304) and Gr.6 (7,038). Intrametastatic TBARS concentration was increased in Gr.2 compared to Gr.4 (BOP/Octreotid) and Gr.6 (BOP/SOM-230) (P < 0.05). Octreotide and SOM-230 equally reduced liver metastasis in ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma probably by a reduction of lipidperoxidation.

OBJECTIVES: "Fast-track" rehabilitation is a multimodal perioperative treatment concept for accelerating postoperative recovery which has been already used successfully in visceral surgery. Of its use in thoracic surgery however, almost no data exist and the relevance of this concept for pulmonary operations is unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this prospective study we examined a new perioperative fast-track treatment concept for thoracic surgery and evaluated the results. This program employs detailed information of patients, intensive perioperative respiratory therapy, thoracic peridural analgesia, forced mobilization, and an early start of postoperative normal food intake. RESULTS: Fifty consecutive patients with benign or malignant diseases of the lung aged an average of 64 years (range 22-78) were operated on thoracoscopically (n=15) or with thoracotomy (n=35) and treated perioperatively using the fast-track program. All patients were mobilized beginning 4 h postoperatively and had normal food. The incidence of general postoperative complications was 0% in this study. Postoperative stay lasted 4.5 days (range 1.5-28.5). There was no increase in surgical complications, and 6% of the patients were readmitted. The patients' acceptance of this concept was high. CONCLUSION: Fast-track rehabilitation resulted in a decreased rate of general complications and accelerated rehabilitation in thoracic surgery.

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are proteolytic enzymes which degrade the extracellular matrix and therefore play an important role in metastasis. However, the impact of MMP inhibitors (MMPI) on pancreatic cancer is still unclear. Thus we evaluated the influence of selective MMPI Ro 28-2653 on the incidence of liver metastases and the concentration of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma in Syrian hamster. MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred and thirty male Syrian hamsters were randomised into 8 groups (Gr.1-3: n=15, Gr.4-8: n=17). Pancreatic cancer was induced by weekly subcutaneous injection of 10mg N-nitrosobis-2-oxopropylamin (BOP)/kg body weight (Gr.4-8) while healthy control Gr. 1-3 received 0.5 ml sodium chloride 0.9%. Gr.1 and 4 had free access to a standard diet, Gr. 2, 3 and 5-8 received a diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which increases liver metastasis in this model. In week 17 oral therapy started: Gr.3 and 6: 60 mg Eudragit/kg body weight/d (vehicle of MMPI), Gr.7 and 8: 40 mg, respectively, 120 mg RO 28-2653/kg body weight/d; Gr.1, 2, 4, 5: no therapy. After 30 weeks all hamsters were sacrificed and histopathologically examined. Additionally concentrations of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were measured in non-metastatic liver and liver metastases. RESULTS: Concentrations of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in liver metastases were decreased by high- and low-dose therapy with MMPI. Furthermore, the incidence of liver metastases was significantly reduced by low-dose therapy with Ro 28-2653. CONCLUSION: Low-dose therapy with Ro 28-2653 decreased liver metastasis due to an inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 concentration in ductal pancreatic cancer.

Type and composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are suspected to play an important role in carcinogenesis. Thus we investigated the effects of n-3, n-6 and n-9 PUFAs on tumour growth, liver metastasis and concentration of prostaglandins (PG) and leukotrienes (LT) in experimental ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Ninety male hamsters were randomised into six groups (Gr.) (n=15). While Gr. 1-3 were healthy control groups, Gr. 4-6 weekly received subcutaneous injections of 10mg N-nitrosobis-2-oxypropylamine (BOP)/kg body weight for 12 weeks in order to induce ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Between week 1 and 16 all animals were fed with a standard diet with a raw fat content of 2.9%. In week 17 Gr. 1-6 were allocated to three types of diets: Gr. 1: standard high fat (=SHF diet, rich in n-6 PUFAs)/Gr. 2: FISH-OIL (rich in n-3 PUFAs)/Gr. 3: SMOF (=mixture of n-3, n-6 and n-9 PUFAs)/Gr. 4: BOP+SHF/Gr. 5: BOP+SMOF/Gr. 6: BOP+FISH-OIL. After 32 weeks all animals were sacrificed and pancreas as well as liver were analysed histologically. Furthermore pancreatic and hepatic concentrations of prostaglandins (PGF1alpha, PGE(2)) and LT were measured. FISH-OIL decreased number of macroscopically visible pancreatic tumours (Gr. 4-6: 54.5% vs. 45.5% vs. 9.1%, P<0.05) as well as incidence of liver metastasis (Gr. 4-6: 90.9% vs. 72.7% vs. 36.4%, P<0.05). Furthermore concentration of PGF(1)(alpha), PGE(2) and LT were significantly increased in pancreatic carcinoma compared to tumour-free tissue. Moreover levels of PGF(1)(alpha) and PGE(2) were higher in liver metastasis than in extrametastatic hepatic tissue. However, in Gr. 6 (FISH-OIL) intrametastatic concentration of LT was significantly lower than in non-metastatic hepatic tissue as well as in Gr. 4 and Gr. 5. FISH-OIL decreased number of visible pancreatic tumours and incidence of histological proven liver metastasis. This effect might be caused by a decrease of intrametastatic concentration of LT compared to extrametastatic hepatic tissue.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Acute pancreatitis often requires parenteral nutrition. Thus, we analyzed, using a randomized trial, whether different fatty acids in parenteral nutrition influence lipidperoxidation and histopathology in acute pancreatitis in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into five groups (gr.) (n=15). Gr. 1 underwent a laparotomy followed by saline infusion, gr. 2-5 received intraductal glycodeoxycholic acid (GDOC) followed by intravenous cerulein. Six hours after induction of pancreatitis (IOP), gr. 2 received saline infusion, while gr. 3 was infused with standard lipovenous (rich in [n-6] polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)), gr. 4 received ClinOleic (rich in [n-9] PUFA), while gr. 5 was infused with Omegaven (rich in [n-3] PUFA) for 18 h. After 24 h, all animals were sacrificed and the pancreas was determined histopathologically according to the severity of pancreatitis. Furthermore, pancreatic lipidperoxidation (TBARS) and activity of lipid production protective enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and gluthationperoxidase (GSHPx) were analyzed. RESULTS: Omegaven infusion reduced the severity of histopathologic changes in acute pancreatitis and decreased lipidperoxidation (TBARS) in pancreatic tissue samples. Furthermore, pancreatic activity of SOD was increased. However, standard PUFA and ClinOleic infusion did not influence the severity of pancreatitis and lipidperoxidation. CONCLUSION: Parenteral nutrition high in n-3 PUFA seems to be superior to compositions of n-6 or n-9 PUFA in the treatment of acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis in rats.

BACKGROUND: Type and composition of dietary fat intake is supposed to play an important role in carcinogenesis. Thus we investigated the effects of n-3, n-6 and n-9 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on oxidative stress (lipidperoxidation) and tumour growth in ductal pancreatic cancer. METHODS: Ninety male hamsters were randomized into 6 groups (gr.) (n=15) and allocated to 3 main dietary categories: gr. 1 and 2 received a standard high fat diet (SHF, rich in n-6 PUFA), while gr. 3 and 4 were fed with a diet containing a mixture of n-3, n-6 and n-9 PUFA (SMOF) and gr. 5 and 6 had free access to a diet rich in n-3 PUFA (FISH-OIL). Gr. 1, 3 and 5 received weekly subcutaneous (s.c.) injections of 10 mg N-nitrosobis-2-oxypropylamine (BOP)/kg body weight in order to induce ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Healthy control gr. 2, 4 and 6 were treated with 0.5 ml 0.9% sodium chloride s.c. After 32 weeks all animals were sacrificed. Removed pancreata were weighed and analysed histologically and biochemically. Activities of glutathionperoxidase (GSH-Px), superoxiddismutase (SOD) and levels of lipidperoxidation were measured in samples of pancreatic carcinoma as well as in tumour-free pancreatic tissue. RESULTS: While different diets did not significantly alter the overall incidence of histologically proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma, the number of macroscopically visible tumours was decreased in the FISH-OIL-gr. CONCLUSION: Different diets did not significantly influence the incidence of histologically proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma. However, administration of a diet rich in n-3 PUFA (FISH-OIL) resulted in a decrease of macroscopically visible tumours, thus indicating its beneficial effects in respect to attenuation of tumour growth.

OBJECTIVES: Effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on carcinogenesis are discussed controversially. Thus, tumor growth seems to be influenced by type and composition of fat dietary; however, the pathomechanism is still unknown. Therefore, we investigated the impact of different PUFAs on liver metastasis and hepatic lipid peroxidation in a solid model of ductal pancreatic cancer in Syrian hamsters. METHODS: 90 male hamsters were randomized into 6 groups (n = 15). Accordingly groups 2, 4 and 6 received 10 mg N-nitrosobis-2-oxopropylamine (BOP)/kg body weight weekly by subcutaneous injection for 12 weeks in order to induce ductal pancreatic cancer, while groups 1, 3 and 5 were treated with 0.5 ml 0.9% sodium chloride. All hamsters received a standard fat diet (SFD) rich in n-6 PUFA for 16 weeks (2.9% fat). Afterwards, groups 1 and 2 had free access to SFD, while groups 3 and 4 were given a diet enriched with n-3, n-6 and n-9 PUFA (SMOF) and groups 5 and 6 were fed a diet high in n-3 PUFA (FISH-OIL). After 32 weeks all hamsters were sacrificed in order to determine incidence of pancreatic carcinoma and liver metastasis. Furthermore hepatic activities of glutathionperoxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxiddismutase (SOD) as well as levels of lipidperoxidation were analyzed intra- and extrametastatically. RESULTS: The incidence of liver metastasis was decreased in the FISH-OIL tumor group compared to the SFD and SMOF groups. However, GSH-Px activity was not influenced by different diets. Extrametastatic hepatic SOD activity did not differ between all groups, while intrametastatic hepatic SOD activity in the SFD-BOP group was increased. In the FISH-OIL-BOP and the SMOF-BOP group intrametastatic SOD activity was lower than in non-metastatic hepatic tissue. Furthermore levels of hepatic lipid peroxidation were decreased in the tumor groups treated with fish oil and SMOF compared to the SFD group. Comparing intra- and extrametastatic TBARS concentration there was no difference in the SFD-BOP and the SMOF-BOP groups, while in the FISH-OIL-BOP group intrametastatic TBARS concentration was increased. CONCLUSION: Conclusively, fish oil reduced the incidence of liver metastasis in experimental ductal pancreatic cancer. Maybe this effect is caused by an increase of intrametastatic hepatic lipid peroxidation.

Selective inhibition of eicosanoid synthesis seems to decrease carcinogenesis, however, the effect on liver metastasis in pancreatic cancer is still unknown. Ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma was chemically induced by weekly injection of N-nitrosobis-2-oxopropylamine (BOP) in Syrian hamster. Animals received selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (Celebrex) and 5-lipoxygenase (Zyflo). In week 33, hamsters were sacrificed and incidence of pancreatic carcinomas as well as liver metastases were examined. Furthermore, size and number of liver metastases per animal were determined and concentration of PGF1alpha, PGE2 and leukotrienes was measured in hepatic and pancreatic tissue. Combined therapy (Celebrex+Zyflo) significantly decreased incidence, number and size of liver metastases. Furthermore extra- and intrametastatic concentration of PGE2 was reduced by this treatment in hepatic tissue. Single Cox-2-inhibition (Celebrex) decreased intrametastatic hepatic PGF1alpha and PGE2 concentration while PGF1alpha concentration was reduced in non-metastatic liver (nml). Moreover 5-LOX-inhibition (Zyflo) decreased intrametastatic PGE2 concentration as well as PGF1alpha and PGE2 in nml. In pancreatic carcinomas highest LT-concentration was found after combined treatment and this therapy group was the only one revealing a significantly higher amount of LTs in carcinomas compared to tumour-free tissue. Hepatic LT-concentration was significantly lower in the control groups than in nml of the tumour groups. Combination of Cox-2-inhibition and 5-Lox-inhibition might be a suitable adjuvant therapy to prevent liver metastasis in human ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Antioxidative vitamins are known to inhibit metastasis. Therefore we evaluated the impact of vitamins A (retinol), C (ascorbic acid) and E (alpha-tocopherol) on liver metastasis in a model of ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma in hamster. METHODS: One hundred and twenty male Syrian hamsters were randomized into 8 groups (Gr.) (n = 15). Gr. 1-4 were given 0.5 ml normal saline subcutaneously (s.c.) weekly, whereas Gr. 5-8 received 10 mg N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP)/kg body weight s.c. for 3 months for tumor induction. In the 13th week Gr. 2 and 6 were administered retinol, Gr. 3 and 7 received ascorbic acid and Gr. 4 and 8 were given alpha-tocopherol orally. No treatment was performed in Gr. 1 and 5. After 24 weeks animals were sacrificed, pancreas and liver were histologically determined. Activities of glutathione-peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and concentration of thiobarbituric-acid-reactive substances (TBARS) were analyzed in hepatic tissue. RESULTS: Retinol and alpha-tocopherol decreased the incidence of liver metastases (44.4 vs. 86.7%, p < 0.05). The number and size of liver metastases were significantly reduced by retinol. Activities of GSH-Px and SOD were increased and concentration of TBARS was decreased in NML and LiMe by all vitamins. CONCLUSION: Obviously, antioxidative vitamins prevent oxidative stress in hepatocytes. This may be one mechanism decreasing liver metastasis in pancreatic cancer in the present trial.

Conventional linoleic acid (LA) is regarded as a promotor of carcinogenesis. However, the effect of its conjugated derivative on cancer is still unknown. Therefore we investigated the influence of conventional and conjugated LA on tumor growth and lipid peroxidation in a solid model of pancreatic adenocarcinoma in Syrian hamsters. 60 male hamsters were randomized in 4 groups (Gr.) (n=15). Gr. 1 and 2 received 0.5 ml 0.9% sodium chloride subcutaneously (s.c.) once a week while Gr. 3 and 4 were injected 10 mg N-nitrosobis-2-oxopropylamine (BOP)/kg body weight weekly for 12 weeks to induce pancreatic cancer. Gr. 1 and 3 received a diet containing conventional LA, Gr. 2 and 4 were fed a diet of conjugated LA. After 29 weeks all animals were sacrificed, pancreas was weighed and examined macroscopically and histologically. The level of lipid peroxidation and activities of glutathion peroxidase and superoxide dismutase were determined in tumor-free as well as in pancreatic carcinoma tissue. Different diets did not influence the incidence of pancreatic carcinoma, however, pancreas weight was increased by conjugated LA compared to conventional LA. Furthermore both diets decreased the activity of glutathion peroxidase and increased the level of lipid peroxidation in pancreatic intratumoral tissue. The content of conjugated LA in dietary did not influence pancreatic tumor growth in a solid model of pancreatic adenocarcinoma in Syrian hamsters.

While conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is regarded as an essential fatty acid with anticarcinogenic effects, conventional linoleic acid (LA) is reported to promote tumour growth in various experimental studies probably caused by high sensitivity to non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation. In order to evaluate the impact of dietary LA and CLA on liver metastasis and lipidperoxidation (LPO), 60 Syrian hamsters were injected with 10 mg N -nitrosobis-2-oxopropylamine (BOP)/kg body weight s.c. for 12 weeks. Animals were fed a special diet containing LA or CLA. The experiment was terminated after 24 weeks. Incidence, number and size of liver metastases were histologically determined. Furthermore, the activities of antioxidative enzymes and concentration of hepatic lipidperoxidation were measured intra- and extrametastatically. Incidence, number and size of liver metastases did not differ between the tumour groups. Otherwise, antioxidative enzyme activity of GSH-Px was higher in non-metastatic liver, while SOD activity and lipidperoxidation were increased in liver metastases. Conclusively there was no difference between the groups fed with LA and CLA according to the impact on liver metastasis in ductal pancreatic cancer.
