Vitamin C at high concentrations induces cytotoxicity in malignant melanoma but promote... - 0 views

  •  
    vitamin C at low concentrations promoted cell growth, migration and cell cycle progression, and protected against mitochondrial stress; but vitamin C at high concentrations inhibited cell growth, promoted apoptosis, inhibited metastasis and was adjunctive with vemurafenib.

Therapeutic hyperthermia: The old, the new, and the upcoming - Critical Reviews in Onco... - 1 views

  • not well understood, but it is felt to be a combination of both heat-induced necrosis and of protein inactivation (e.g., repair enzymes) as opposed to DNA damage
  • alterations in tumor cytoskeletal and membrane structures, which disrupt cell motility and intracellular signal transduction
  • A common explanation for HT-enhancement of RT and CT involves inhibition of homologous recombination repair of double-strand DNA breaks, preventing cells from repairing sub-lethal damage
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • it does appear to inhibit rejoining of RT-induced DNA breaks more than is commonly observed after RT alone
  • HT damages cells and enhances RT and CT sensitivity as a function of both temperature and duration of treatment
  • as temperature or duration increase, the rate of cell killing also increases
  • At temperatures above 42 °C, tumor vasculature is damaged, resulting in decreased blood flow
  • Cancer cells are particularly vulnerable to heating; in vivo studies have shown that temperatures in the range of 40–44 °C cause more selective damage to tumor cells
  • cancerous blood vessels are chaotic, leaky, and inefficient
  • selective cytotoxic effect on tumor cells include inhibition of key cancer cell-signaling pathways such as AKT, inducing apoptosis, suppression of cancer stem cell proliferation, and others
  • increase in immunological attacks against tumors after HT, which were believed to be achieved through activation of HSPs and subsequent modulation of the innate and adaptive immune responses against tumor cells
  • HT does lead to activation of the immune system and HSP-induced cell death through modification of the tumor cell surface
  • These HSPs and tumor antigens are taken up by dendritic cells and macrophages and go on to induce specific anti-tumor immunity
  • In vivo studies demonstrate HT-enhancement of NK cell activity, and HT has been shown to increase neutrophilic granulocytes with anti-tumor activity
  • it has become increasingly clear that HT results in immune stimulation, through both direct heat-mediated cell killing as well as innate and adaptive immune system modulation
  • The term hyperthermia is used in this review to refer to heating within the clinically accepted range of 40–45 °C
  • temperatures above 42.5–43 °C the exposure time can be halved with each 1 °C increase while maintaining equivalent cell killing
  • gradual heating at 43 °C for 1 h worked through an apoptotic pathway

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) effects on withdrawal syndrome of heroin abusers. - PubMed - ... - 0 views

  •  
    Vitamin C effective in reducing heroin withdrawal symptoms.  this is only with oral dosing.  I would anticipate even better results with IV vitamin C.

Vitamin C for Sepsis and Septic Shock - PubMed - 0 views

  •  
    Review article on vitamin C in the treatment of sepsis and septic shock. The most common dose is 1.5 gram Q6 is inadequate secondary to all the constraints on vitamin C, i.e., 1/2 life, metabolic demands, deficiency, weight, inflammation…A one size fits all approach never WORKS!

Effect of high-dose intravenous vitamin C on inflammation in cancer patients - 0 views

  •  
    In this small study, IV vitamin C up to 50 grams shown to reduce inflammation in cancer patients. The inflammatory cytokines reduced were: IL-1alpha, crp, IL-2, IL-8, and TNF-alpha.

Vitamin C Can Kill Multidrug-Resistant TB in the Lab - 0 views

  •  
    Vitamin C shown to be bactericidal to multi-drug resistant TB in vitro.  Whether in vivo studies duplicate this or not remains to be seen, but I would anticipate it will.
