Abstract
Urinary N-hydroxy metabolites of carcinogenic arylamines were investigated for their abilities to induce unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in human urothelial cell lines HCV 29, HU 1734, and HU 1752, and in a primary culture of human urothelial cells. N-Hydroxy-2-aminofluorene (CAS: 53-94-1; N-OH-AF), N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (CAS: 53-95-2; N-OH-AAF), and the N-glucuronide of N-OH-AF induced UDS in HCV 29, HU 1734, and HU 1752. N-Hydroxy-4-aminobiphenyl (CAS: 6810-26-0; N-OH-ABP), N-hydroxy-4-acetylaminobiphenyl (CAS: 4463-22-3; N-OH-AABP), N-hydroxy-2-aminonaphthalene (CAS: 613-47-8; N-OH-AN), N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminonaphthalene (CAS: 2508-23-8; N-OH-AAN), and the N-glucuronide of N-OH-ABP induced UDS in HCV 29. However, the N-glucuronide of N-OH-AN did not. The O-glucuronide of N-OH-AAF induced UDS in HCV 29 only when beta-glucuronidase was present. Paraoxon inhibited the induction of UDS in HCV 29 by N-OH-AAF and N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (CAS: 6098-44-8), but not by N-OH-AF. When examined in a primary culture of human urothelial cells, N-OH-AF, N-OH-AAF, N-OH-ABP, and N-OH-AABP were active, but N-OH-AN, N-OH-AAN, 2-aminonaphthalene (CAS: 91-59-8), 2-aminofluorene (CAS: 153-78-6;), and 4-aminobiphenyl (CAS: 92-67-1) were not. These results demonstrate that human urothelial cells are able to activate both acetylated and non-acetylated N-hydroxy metabolites of carcinogenic arylamines, and they suggest that O-glucuronidation may be a detoxification mechanism for N-arylacethydroxamic acids.

Abstract
1-Nitropyrene, a direct-acting mutagenic component of extracts of diesel exhaust and ambient air particulates, is one of the major nitroarenes found in products of incomplete combustion. Injection of this compound into newborn Sprague-Dawley-derived CD rats at 100 mumol/kg body weight s.c. once a week for 8 weeks induced 32 and 28% sarcomas, primarily malignant fibrous histiocytomas, at the site of injection in male and female animals, respectively. Mammary tumors, most of which were adenocarcinomas, developed distant from the site of injection in 47% of the females. Similar but lesser responses were observed in animals given one-half this dose. This carcinogenic response is consistent with the systemic effects of structurally related aromatic amines. 4-Nitrobiphenyl, given at equimolar doses, was not tumorigenic in this study.

Abstract
From 1973 to 1979, 163 patients with biopsy proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate were treated with a curative intent utilizing megavoltage external beam irradiation at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center or Lutheran General Hospital. The actuarial survival at 5 years for the whole group is 78%. Survival was found to depend on initial stage and grade of disease. Local failure alone occurred in 3% of the patients, yet represented a component of failure in 7%. The effects of stage, grade, dose and field size on survival, patterns of failure and complications are discussed.

Abstract
Antigen-binding receptor (ABR) molecules have been selectively radiolabeled and isolated from immunized chicken spleen cells. The specific radiolabeling of the receptors has been accomplished by utilizing a novel technique employing lactoperoxidase (LPO) covalently linked to antigen (Ag) for which human gammaglobulin was used. The cell surface ABRs were first bound to the Ag-LPO conjugates through specific recognition sites on the Ag portion of the conjugates. The bound LPO portions were then allowed to catalyze the radioiodination of the ABRs. After radiolabeling, cells were solubilized with detergents. ABRs still bound to Ag-LPO conjugates were directly isolated from the lysates via immunoaffinity chromatography utilizing an immunoaffinity reagent directed toward the antigen portion of the ABR-Ag-LPO complex. The radioactive materials isolated in this way were then analyzed via SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. It appears that as expected, most of the specifically-labeled and isolated materials were immunoglobulin (Ig). Both the membrane-bound form of the heavy chain (mol. wt 77 K) as well as the secreted form (mol. wt 67 K) were detected, along with the light chain (mol. wt 25 K). An additional polypeptide of mol. wt 55 K was also selectively labeled and isolated along with the Ig. This may be a molecule closely associated with the membrane immunoglobulin on B-cell surface.

Abstract
The place for operation and for radiation therapy in the management of brain metastases is reviewed from the experience of 1895 patients treated in two studies of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group. Operative removal may be of benefit to patients with solitary peripheral lesions in non-critical brain locations. Operation is also appropriate when the diagnosis is in doubt. Radiation therapy with appropriate steroid management is of benefit to patients with multiple metastases or where operative intervention is not reasonable. Short course low-dose treatment has been as beneficial as more aggressive prolonged radiation therapy.

Abstract
Previously an idiotypic specificity common to anti-a2 allotype Ab from 15 rabbits was detected and characterized. The contribution of H and L chains to the expression of this common idiotypic specificity was determined. Two types of recombinant IgG were prepared: (1) H chains from anti-a2 Ab with L chains from normal a3b4 IgG, and (2) L chains from anti-a2 Ab with H chains from normal a3b4 IgG. By inhibition of binding radioimmunoassay, recombinant IgG having either H or L chains from anti-a2 did not inhibit the binding between anti-a2 Ab and anti-idiotype Ab. By direct binding radioimmunoassay, recombinant IgG of H chains from anti-a2 Ab with L chains from a3b4 IgG reacted with anti-idiotype Ab whereas recombinant IgG with H chains from normal a3b4 IgG and L anti-a2 Ab is determined primarily by the H chain; however, the full expression of the common idiotypic specificity requires the interaction of both H and L chains from anti-a2 Ab.

Abstract
Prostaglandin H synthase mediates the reaction of an extensive series of carcinogenic arylamines with tRNA. Structure-activity relationships suggest that benzidine is especially reactive due to extended conjugation between the 4,4'-diamino groups. In trapping experiments with homopolyribonucleotides, benzidine reacts with polyguanylic acid but 4-aminobiphenyl reacts with polycytidylic acid. The nitrenium ion of 4-aminobiphenyl (formed by N,O-acyltransferase activation of N-hydroxy-4-acetylaminobiphenyl) reacts primarily with polyguanylic acid and to a lesser extent with polyadenylic acid. The results suggest that arylamine activation by prostaglandin H synthase does not involve nitrenium ion formation.

Abstract
The induction of unscheduled DNA synthesis in primary cultures of urothelial cells from rats, mice, and dogs by nitrofurans and arylamines and their derivatives was examined. Electron microscopy of the culture from rat cells showed the characteristics of epithelial cells. The cultured cells were exposed to the test chemicals in a serum-free medium containing 10 mM hydroxyurea and [3H]thymidine for 24 hr, and unscheduled DNA synthesis was determined by autoradiography. N-Hydroxy-2-aminofluorene, N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene, N-hydroxy-4-amino-biphenyl, and N-hydroxy-4-acetylaminobiphenyl were active in inducing unscheduled DNA synthesis in the urothelial cells of rats, mice, and dogs. 2-Aminofluorene, N-[4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-thiazolyl]formamide, and 2-amino-4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)thiazole were active only in dog cells. 2-Acetylaminofluorene and 4-aminobiphenyl were not active. These results demonstrate that urothelial cells contain enzymes that can selectively activate bladder carcinogens and their metabolites.

Abstract
Intraperitoneal injection of the N-formyl, N-acetyl, or N-propionyl derivatives of N-hydroxy-4-aminobiphenyl, N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene, or N-(4-biphenyl)glycolamide disclosed that the ability of these compounds to induce mammary tumors in the female CD rat was greater if the compound was able to be metabolized to a reactive product by one of two soluble enzymes obtained from both the liver and mammary gland. A similar but weaker association between the formation of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase-positive foci and cellular altered foci of the liver was also observed. The enzyme related to the tumorigenicity of these compounds was characterized by a highly specific capacity to form adducts from the acetyl and propionyl derivatives. The other enzyme exhibited greater activity with N-formyl substrates. The two enzyme activities were separable by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and by gel filtration on Sephacryl. Liver microsomes also possessed the capacity to activate both the formyl and acetyl derivatives to reactive species; formyl substrates were 7 to 8 times more active than acetylated compounds. The microsomal activities and the formyl-preferring soluble enzyme were inhibited by diethyl-p-nitrophenylphosphate, a microsomal deacylase inhibitor. The cytosolic enzymes that are most active with the acetyl and propionyl substrates were little affected by this organophosphate compound. The microsomal activation was not due solely to deacylation of the hydroxamic acid, since formylated and acetylated substrates were hydrolyzed at approximately the same rates.

Abstract
N-Hydroxyphenacetin was activated to a mutagen in the Salmonella-Ames test by rabbit liver acyltransferase, rat liver cytosol, and rat liver microsomes. N-[ring]3H]-Hydroxyphenacetin was bound to transfer RNA when activated by acyltransferase from rabbit or rat liver or rat liver microsomes. The acyltransferase-catalyzed binding was not inhibited by paraoxon, a deacetylase inhibitor. The use of N-hydroxyphenacetin radioactively labeled in the acetyl group, as well as the ring, indicated that deacetylation was involved in the microsome-catalyzed binding reaction. In addition, the microsome-catalyzed binding was inhibited 90% by paraoxon. p-Nitrosophenetole, a deacetylated derivative of N-hydroxyphenacetin, was synthesized and bound to transfer RNA without enzymatic activation. Activation of N-hydroxyphenacetin by sulfate conjugation was also found to lead to binding to transfer RNA. The data implicated acyl transfer, deacetylation, and sulfate conjugation as possible routes for the activation of N-hydroxyphenacetin.

Abstract
A macromolecular aggregate of corticotropin-beta-lipotropin common precursor had been observed in ovine pituitary preparations as an excluded fraction of Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. This fraction could not penetrate a 10% gel during sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, when 2-mercaptoethanol or other disulfide-cleaving agents were not present in the buffer used to solubilize the protein preparation prior to the electrophoresis. On a 4.6% gel (acrylamide:bisacrylamide, 20:1), the material migrated as a diffuse band to a position between those of beta-galactosidase (Mr 130 000) and myosin (Mr 200 000). Both observations were consistent with an apparent Mr greatly in excess of that of the corticotropin-beta-lipotropin common precursor reported by many investigators. Neither 5% SDS nor 1% Triton X-100 could dissociate the macromolecular aggregate, but 2-mercaptoethanol and urea, either alone or in combination, were able to dissociate it to two main protein components, one of which was identified as corticotropin-beta-lipotropin with an apparent Mr of 34 000. The fact that urea alone could dissociate this macromolecular aggregate led us to believe that it might be a non-covalent aggregate and that 2-mercaptoethanol probably did not achieve the dissociation through the cleavage of an interchain disulfide bond but by bringing about conformational changes as a result of reduction of intrachain disulfide bonds so that aggregation became unfavorable. Moreover, the dissociation by urea or by 2-mercaptoethanol was found to be irreversible. The origin of the macromolecular aggregate of corticotropin-beta-lipotropin common precursor remains obscure.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the induction of liver tumors by arylhydroxamic acids. The potential involvement of sulfate conjugation was minimized by the administration of a N-hydroxy-4-acylaminobiphenyl to female CD rats. This experimental design provided for the exposure of a target organ that has only a low capacity for activation of hydroxamic acids by sulfate conjugation, with a carcinogen that does not induce tumors in liver that possess a high sulfotransferase activity. A single dose of the N-formyl or N-acetyl derivatives of N-hydroxy-4-aminobiphenyl was given i.p. at 0.4 mmol/kg body weight to 34-day-old animals. In attempts to amplify the hepatocarcinogenic potential of the compounds, partial hepatectomy 24 hr before the chemical injection and subsequent long-term treatment with phenobarbital in the diet were carried out. For comparative purposes, other animals were subjected to three additional partial hepatectomies subsequent to the carcinogen administration instead of the phenobarbital treatment. The experiments were terminated 64 weeks after injection. Both the N-formyl and N-acetyl derivatives of N-hydroxy-4-aminobiphenyl, in conjunction with partial hepatectomy and subsequent treatment of dietary phenobarbital, induced a high incidence of neoplastic nodules and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase-positive foci in the liver. Only one hepatocellular carcinoma was observed in each treatment group. Repeated partial hepatectomies enhanced the yield of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase-positive foci but were ineffective in producing neoplastic nodules. In addition to the liver lesions, mammary tumors were also induced. Importantly, an inhibitory effect of the subsequent administration of phenobarbital was observed on mammary tumor formation, possibly because of alterations in hormone metabolism resulting from the induction of microsomal enzymes by phenobarbital, which resulted in a decreased promoting effect. There was no difference in the tumorigenicity of the formyl and acetyl derivatives in these experiments.

Abstract
N-Acetoxy-4-trifluoroacetylaminobiphenyl (N-acetoxy-TFAABP) reacted readily with Guo and GMP at neutrality in a one-step fashion to yield N-(guanosin-8-yl)4-aminobiphenyl (Guo-ABP) (I) and N(guanosin-8-yl)-4-aminobiphenyl-5'-monophosphate (GMP-ABP) (II), respectively. GMP-ABP could also be formed in much lower yield from the reaction of N-acetoxy-4-formylaminobiphenyl (N-acetoxy-FABP) with GMP (pH 7.0) under more rigorous conditions. Enzymatic hydrolysis of GMP-ABP with alkaline phosphatase in Tris buffer (pH 8.0) at 37 degrees C yielded Guo-ABP. Guo-ABP showed a brilliant blue fluorescence on exposure to 366 nm UV light and its UV absorption spectrum was identical to that of Guo-ABP prepared by Kriek via a different route. Elemental analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data further confirmed the identity of this compound.

Abstract
Reaction of N-hydroxy-2-aminofluorene (N-OH-AF) with rRNA at pH 5.0 decreased the molecular weight of the polynucleotide. Toluene-soluble aryl derivatives were released on hydrolysis of fluorenylamine- and biphenylamine-substituted RNA by treatment with venom phosphodiesterase and alkaline phosphatase. These data suggested that arylhydroxylamines, activated by incubation at pH 5.0 or by enzymatic O-acetylation, might react with the phosphate group of RNA to give unstable phosphate triesters. Spontaneous hydrolysis of these triesters would result in cleavage of the polynucleotide chain. Further enzymatic hydrolysis of the phosphate esters would yield nonpolar arylamine derivatives. Enzymatically degraded 4-aminobiphenyl(ABP)-RNA adducts were examined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the presence of a putative phosphorylated adduct. Synthetic standards of the C-8-guanosine monophosphate-ABP adduct (ABP-GMP) and o-aminobiphenyl-O-phosphate were used as markers in the analysis of the digested RNA. A phosphate adduct of ABP was undetectable by these methods. The data also indicated that the ABP-GMP formed in the acyltransferase-mediated binding of N-hydroxy-4-acetylaminobiphenyl (N-OH-AABP) to RNA is readily degraded during the enzymatic digestion of the RNA adduct.

Abstract
2-Naphthohydroxamic acid, 4-n-butoxyphenylacetohydroxamic acid, and their O-sulfonate, O-formate, O-acetate, and O-propionate derivatives were studied for cytotoxicity and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) induction in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. 2-Naphthylisocyanate, 2-aminonaphthalene (2 Lossen rearrangement products of the O-sulfonate derivative of 2-naphthohydroxamic acid), and N-methyl-2-naphthohydroxamic acid were also studied. All of these chemicals were cytotoxic and significantly increased SCE frequency, although there was a lack of correlation between these 2 effects. 2-naphthylisocyanate and 2-aminonaphthalene were not as cytotoxic nor as active in inducing SCEs as the O-sulfonate ester of 2-naphthohydroxamic acid suggesting that the cytotoxicity and SCE induction of the latter are not due to its decomposition products.

Abstract
Twenty-one patients with cervical or endometrial carcinoma and metastases to the para-aortic lymph nodes were treated with extended-field para-aortic irradiation. The late effects of this treatment were evaluated in 16 patients who had a minimum follow-up of six months. All of the patients with massive pelvic tumours died of active disease in the pelvis with or without metastases. Three patients had small-bowel complications; none of the patients who underwent exploratory laparotomy for lymph node biospy had bowel complications. The results indicate that patients with central lesions and minimal para-aortic disease benefit most from para-aortic irradiation. It is concluded that metastases to the para-aortic lymoh nodes do not necessarily indicate more distant spread, and can be cured with irradiation. The late complication rate can be minimized by reducing the dosage to the small bowel with a combination of anterior-posterior fields and 360 degree rotation or opposing lateral 120 degree arc fields, and by using the extraperitoneal approach for lymph node biopsy.

Abstract
During the period 1961-1971, 177 surgical candidates with clinical Stage I adenocarcinoma of the endometrium were treated. The pattern of recurrence according to the initial mode of treatment and the high risk factors predisposing to recurrence are presented. The incidence of vaginal vault recurrence was reduced from 7.4% with surgery to 1.2% by the use of adjunctive radiotherapy. Management of recurrence according to site is outlined. The local control rate for patients with local recurrence was 44% and the five-year survival rate after recurrence was 33%.
