We studied the effects of six cycles of repeated cyclophosphamide (CTX) therapy followed by restorative therapy with either granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or G-CSF on the hematopoietic stem cell compartment. Stem cell function was assessed by serially transferring bone marrow cells from CTX-CSF-treated mice into lethally irradiated recipient mice. Bone marrow cells from mice that initially received either G-CSF or GM-CSF after CTX therapy more rapidly lost the ability to repopulate the recipient lymphoid organs, showed a dramatic loss of hematopoietic progenitors, a more rapid loss of CFU-S capacity, and a 40% to 50% reduction in marrow repopulating ability (MRA). Interleukin-1 (IL-1) appeared to have little effect on the CTX-treated mice when used alone. However, when administered before the CTX-CSF regimen, IL-1 prevented the stem cell depletion as determined by CFU-C, CFU-S, and MRA through the serial transplantation procedures. These results support the hypothesis that repeated treatments with myelosuppressive drugs followed by stimulation with the CSFs may induce damage to the host stem cell compartment, and further suggest that pretreatment with IL-1 before CTX therapy may prevent this stem cell damage.

The effects on bone marrow (BM) cell proliferation and differentiation of recombinant human interleukin-3 (rhIL-3) and recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) administered after high-dose (7 g/m2/d) cyclophosphamide (HD-CTX) chemotherapy were studied in nine patients with malignancies without BM involvement and in three control patients. rhIL-3 at a dose of 1 to 5 micrograms/kg/day was administered for 14 to 18 days by continuous intravenous (i.v.) infusion and rhGM-CSF was administered at a dose of 5.5 micrograms/kg/day for 14 days. Changes induced by cytokine treatment were assessed by morphoimmunohistochemical analysis of BM biopsies. Comparison was made in the cytokine-treated groups and with control patients who received HD-CTX alone. BM cellularity and the myeloid/erythroid (ME) ratio were lower in rhIL-3-treated than in rhGM-CSF-treated patients, but in both groups it was significantly higher than in the controls. The proportion of BM cells stained by PC10, a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) recognizing a proliferation-associated nuclear protein (PCNA), increased from 6.78% to 21.18% (P less than .02) after rhIL-3, and from 5% to 35.33% (P less than .001) after rhGM-CSF; no increase was observed in the control group. The frequency of CD34+ BM cells was unchanged after rhIL-3 (P = NS) and decreased after rhGM-CSF (P less than .001). In both groups, most of the PC10+ cells were represented by promyelocytes and myelocytes with no increase in blast cell numbers. rhIL-3-treated BM showed an increased number of megakaryocytes and increased proliferative activity of erythroid cells as compared with rhGM-CSF cases. BM stroma changes observed in both treated groups included endothelial cell proliferation, increased BM macrophage concentration, and increase in BM fibroblasts as detected with an anti-nerve growth factor receptor antibody. In most rhIL-3-treated cases, BM fibrosis developed after treatment. The same effect was not observed in rhGM-CSF patients.

Twenty-seven cancer patients underwent peripheral blood stem cell apheresis during hematopoietic regeneration following induction high-dose cyclophosphamide (7 g/sqm; HD-CTX). Among these patients, eleven were also treated with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) for 14 days after HD-CTX. We describe technique, peripheral blood cell yields and side effects of 76 leukaphereses performed using a continuous-flow blood cell separator COBE 2997. Leukaphereses, carried out through 2-5 consecutive days per patient, were started significantly earlier in rhGM-CSF treated patients. In comparison to patients receiving HD-CTX only, administration of rhGM-CSF resulted in a significantly higher yield per leukapheresis of mononuclear cells and granulocyte-macrophage colony forming units (CFU-GM) (two-fold and eight-fold, respectively). Procedures were completed and well tolerated in all cases. Minor side effects were unfrequent. Our results suggest that rhGM-CSF accelerates hematopoietic recovery after HD-CTX and facilitates large-scale collection of peripheral blood stem cells utilizable for autologous transplantation.

Antigen CD34+ cells represent 1-4% of adult bone marrow cells comprising virtually all hematopoietic colony-forming progenitors in-vitro and probably also stem cells capable of restoring hematopoiesis of lethally irradiated hosts. We report that sizable numbers of CD34+ cells transiently circulate in the peripheral blood (PB) of patients treated with high-dose (7 g/sqm) cyclophosphamide (HD-CTX) with or without recombinant human glycosylated granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF). Evidence is presented demonstrating that CD34+ cells from PB possess qualitatively normal hematopoietic colony growth and high cloning efficiency similarly to marrow CD34+ cells. In addition, CD34+ cells from PB are shown to display heterogeneous flow cytometry characteristics and differentiation antigens analogous to those from bone marrow, i.e., CD34+/CD33-, CD34+/CD13-, CD34+/CD38-, CD34+/CD11b, CD34+/DRlow+ cells have light scatter properties of small lymphocytes while CD34+/CD33+, CD34+/CD13+, CD34+/CD38+, CD34+/CD11b+, CD34+/DRhigh+ cells have light scatter properties of blast-like cells. In HD-CTX treated patients, CD34+ cell circulation is 5-fold enhanced by rhGM-CSF 5.5 micrograms/kg/day by continuous iv infusion for 14 days. During the second-third week after HD-CTX, large-scale collection of PB leukocytes by 3-4 continuous-flow leukaphereses allows the yield of 2.19-2.73 x 10(9) or 0.45-0.56 x 10(9) CD34+ cells, depending on whether or not patients receive rhGM-CSF. The number of CD34+ cells retrieved from PB by leukaphereses exceeds the number that can be harvested by multiple bone marrow aspirations under general anesthesia.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Pretreatment of mice with recombinant murine (rM) colony-stimulating factor-granulocyte-macrophage (CSF-gm) or recombinant human (rH) CSF-g provides partial protection from the lethal effects of ionizing radiation or the alkylating agent cyclophosphamide (CTX). In addition, these agents can significantly prolong survival if administered following lethal doses of irradiation or CTX. To induce protective activity, cytokines were injected 20 hours before lethal irradiation or CTX administration. To accelerate recovery from lethal irradiation, the cytokines must be administered shortly following irradiation, and the induction of maximal levels of activity is dependent on chronic administration. In contrast, because of their longer half-lives, accelerated recovery from alkylating agents requires a delay of at least 24 to 48 hours to allow complete clearance of CTX before administration of a CSF. Studies quantitating peripheral blood leukocytes and bone marrow cellularity as well as colony-forming units per culture (CFU-C) frequency and CFU-C per femur revealed a significant correlation between these parameters and the ability to survive lethal irradiation. This is a US government work. There are no restrictions on its use.

We report that hematopoietic progenitor cells expressing the CD34 antigen (CD34+ cells) transiently circulate in the peripheral blood (PB) of cancer patients treated with 7 g/m2 cyclophosphamide (HD-CTX) with or without recombinant human granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (rHuGM-CSF). In adult humans, CD34+ cells represent a minor fraction (1% to 4%) of bone marrow (BM) cells, comprising virtually all hematopoietic colony-forming progenitors in vitro and probably also stem cells capable of restoring hematopoiesis of lethally irradiated hosts. We show that CD34+ cell circulation is fivefold enhanced by rHuGM-CSF 5.5 protein micrograms/kg/day by continuous intravenous infusion for 14 days after HD-CTX. During the third week after HD-CTX (ie, when CD34+ cells peak in the circulation), large-scale collection of PB leukocytes by three to four continuous-flow leukaphereses allows the yield of 2.19 to 2.73 x 10(9) or 0.45 to 0.56 x 10(9) CD34+ cells depending on whether or not patients receive rHuGM-CSF. The number of CD34+ cells retrieved from the circulation by leukaphereses exceeds the number that can be harvested by multiple BM aspirations under general anesthesia. Thus, after therapy with HD-CTX and rHuGM-CSF, PB represents a rich source of hematopoietic progenitors possibly usable for restoring hematopoiesis after myeloablative chemoradiotherapy. To determine whether CD34+ cells found in the PB are equivalent to their marrow counterpart, we evaluated their in vitro growth characteristics and immunological phenotype by colony assays and dual-color immunofluorescence, respectively. We show that PB CD34+ cells possess qualitatively normal hematopoietic colony growth and high cloning efficiency comparable to that observed with BM CD34+ cells. In addition, PB CD34+ cells display heterogeneous surface membrane differentiation antigens analogous to BM CD34+ cells. The availability of large quantities of CD34+ cells by leukapheresis is relevant to the field of stem cell transplantation and possibly to genetic manipulations of the hematopoietic system in humans.

The in vitro antibacterial activity of cefotaxime and ceftriaxone-aminoglycoside combinations was studied against 20 clinical isolates of Listeria monocytogenes, and compared with the activity of the antibiotics alone. Minimal bacteriostatic and bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) as well as killing curves were determined using different parameters. In all cases, the MBCs of gentamicin and netilmicin were shown to be lowered by addition of CTX or CTR. Using Mueller-Hinton broth the values of MBCs obtained were achievable in the CSF. However, the clinical bearing of these results remained to be discussed.

A case of post-traumatic meningitis with otorrhea due to Staphylococcus aureus was successfully treated with a cefotaxim-fosfomycin (CTX-FOS) combination. Serial samples of CSF leaking from the ear showed that maximal concentrations of CTX and FOS, 3.24 mg/l and 19.10 mg/l respectively, occurred one hour after the infusion of both antibiotics was terminated. For desacetyl-cefotaxim (D-CTX), maximal concentration (1.24 mg/l) occurred two hours later. These findings suggest that lumber puncture to control maximal penetration of CTX and FOS into CSF should be done one hour after infusion of both antibiotics.

Fundamental and clinical studies were carried out on ceftazidime ( CAZ ), a new cephalosporin, in the field of pediatrics. 1. Antimicrobial activity MICs of CAZ were determined for clinical isolates of 24 strains of S. aureus, 15 of S. pyogenes, 8 of H. influenzae, 22 of E. coli, 20 of K. pneumoniae, 18 of P. mirabilis, 3 of P. morganii, and 21 of P. aeruginosa, and compared with those of the control drugs, i.e. CEZ, CXM, CMZ, CTX, LMOX and CMX. For P. aeruginosa, CPM, CFS and GM were also employed as the control drugs. CAZ was as active as CTX, LMOX and CMX, its MICs distributing in the range not higher than 0.10 microgram/ml for H. influenzae, 0.78 microgram/ml for E. coli, 0.39 microgram/ml for K. pneumoniae, 0.10 microgram/ml for P. mirabilis, and 0.10 microgram/ml for P. morganii in all the strains. Against P. aeruginosa, CAZ showed MICs in the range between 0.39 and 3.13 micrograms /ml, which showed activity higher than that of CTX, LMOX , CPM, CMX and GM, and comparable to that of CFS. Against S. pyogenes, CAZ was as active as all the control drugs except for LMOX , its MICs for all strains tested being 0.20 microgram/ml or below. Against S. aureus, CAZ was slightly more active than LMOX , but less active than the other control drugs, its MICs being relatively high ranging from 6.25 to 50 micrograms/ml. 2. Pharmacokinetics After a one-shot intravenous injection of CAZ 20 mg/kg, serum levels and urinary excretion were studied in 3 children aged 6 to 9 years, and CSF levels were determined in 2 children aged 6 to 7 years with aseptic meningitis. The mean serum levels of CAZ were 85.3 micrograms/ml at 1/4 hour, 53.3 micrograms/ml at 1/2 hour, 32.0 micrograms/ml at 1 hour, 16.1 micrograms/ml at 2 hours, 5.3 micrograms/ml at 4 hours, and 2.0 micrograms/ml at 6 hours, with the mean half-life of 1.18 hours. The mean urinary levels were 9,700 micrograms/ml at 0 to 2 hours, 803 micrograms/ml at 2 to 4 hours, 540 micrograms at 4 to 6 hours, and the mean urinary recovery rate during the first 6 hours was 83.9%. The CSF levels at 1 hour after intravenous injection were 0.44 microgram/ml in acute stage and 0.10 to 0.22 microgram/ml in convalescent stage. 3. Clinical study Thirty-one pediatric patients with bacterial infections were treated with CAZ , and the clinical efficacy, bacteriological response, and side effects were evaluated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Seventy-seven (68 operable breast cancer with > 9 metastatic axillary nodes and 9 inflammatory breast cancer) entered this study. During hematopoietic recovery after cancer therapy with high-dose cyclophosphamide (7 g/m2; HD-CTX) circulating hematopoietic progenitors were collected by leukapheresis (LK) in all patients and then cryopreserved for autologous transplantation. Following HD-CTX, 70 patients were treated with hematopoietic growth factor(s) for 14 days: 38 with rhGM-CSF (group a), 16 with rhIL-3 (group b), 11 with sequential rhIL-3 and rhGM-CSF (group c), 5 with sequential rhIL-3 and rhG-CSF (group d). Seven control patients (group e) did not receive any growth factor. Leukaphereses, carried out over 2-4 consecutive days per patient, were started earlier in group c and in group d patients (mean day: +12 after HD-CTX). The sequential administration of rhIL-3 and rhG-CSF (group d) resulted in clearly higher yield of CFU-GM and CD34+ cells per leukapheresis (65.9 x 10(4)/Kg versus 20.9 x 10(6)/Kg, respectively) if compared with other groups of treatment.
