OBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito do 5-fluorouracil (5FU) injetado intralesionalmente na cabeça do pterígio no período pré-operatório. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados 53 olhos (52 pacientes), sendo 28 pterígios primários e 25 recidivados, divididos em dois grupos: grupo 1 (G1), composto por indivíduos que receberam a injeção de 5-fluorouracil 30 dias antes do procedimento cirúrgico e grupo 2 (G2), no qual o 5-fluorouracil foi injetado 10 dias antes da cirurgia. Todas as cirurgias foram realizadas seguindo-se a mesma técnica cirúrgica, pelo mesmo cirurgião. Os pacientes foram reavaliados 7, 30 e 60 dias após a cirurgia. Os resultados observados foram submetidos à análise estatística. RESULTADOS: A amostra estudada foi constituída por 52,8% de pterígios primários e 47,2% de recidivados, sendo composta igualmente por indivíduos de ambos os sexos. Não ocorreram complicações decorrentes da infiltração da droga. A recidiva foi mais freqüente nos pterígios recidivados e no G1. CONCLUSÃO: O uso intralesional de 5-fluorouracil no pré-operatório do pterígio não provocou efeitos deletérios aos olhos estudados. Houve menor recorrência quando usado o 5-fluorouracil 10 dias antes da exérese cirúrgica, em relação à aplicação 30 dias antes do procedimento.

To evaluate the effect of 5-fluorouracil (F) and methotrexate-5-fluorouracil association (MTX-F) on nephrotoxic nephritis, seven groups of 10 rats were inoculated with anti-rat glomerular basement membrane serum (AGBMS); five groups were treated with different doses of F, beginning on the 2nd or the 6th day, one group with MTX-F beginning on the 2nd day and one group (control) with distilled water. Twenty-four hour proteinuria was determined weekly until the 71st day. The kidneys were examined histologically and by immunofluorescence. The group treated with F (1.3 mg/100 g body weight) developed a severe glomerulonephritis similar to the control group; (b) the groups treated with F (2.0 mg/100 g body weight) or with MTX-F showed progressively lower proteinuria, less severe histological changes and less intense fluorescence due to autologous antibodies. The best results were observed in the MTX-F group and in the F group treated from the 6th day. These groups presented at the 71st day proteinuria of 84 and 91 mg as compared to 312 mg in the control group, and minimal histological lesions as compared to glomerulosclerosis and tubular atrophy in the control group. We concluded that either F or MTX-F produced significant improvement of nephrotoxic nephritis due to inhibition of autologous antibody production.

Purpose: To evaluate the proliferation of the fibroblasts from primary and recurrent pterygium in culture of cells, after the exposure to mitomycin C and to 5-fluorouracil. Methods: Cultures of fibroblasts from primary and recurrent pterygiuns had been carried through. The cells of the third passage were exposed to mitomycin C 0.4% during 3 minutes and to 5-fluorouracil 25mg/ml that was kept in the nutritional medium. After 3, 6, 12 and 18 days of the exposure, cell countings were made in hemocytometer, in triplicate, with a control not treated with the drugs for each day. The data were submitted to statistical analysis.Results: Mitomicyn C had homogeneous behavior in the primary and recurrent groups, which inhibited the cellular proliferation since the first counting day. However, with 5-fluorouracil, the proliferation inhibition was verified only after the third day of evaluation (in the second counting day) in the recurrent group, and since the first counting day in the primary group. At the end of the experimental period, 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin C were equally efficient in the inhibition of the fibroblasts from primary and recurrent pterygium proliferation. In the controls not exposed, the cell's numbers were increasing during the experimental time.Conclusion: Mitomycin and 5-fluorouracil are equally able to inhibit fibroblasts proliferation from primary and recurrent pterygium Tenon's capsule in cell culture.

BACKGROUND The antimetabolite 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is used for topical treatment of actinic keratosis. Overall improvement in the skin is also observed. Additionally, 5-FU was reported to be used for superficial peels.OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 5% 5-FU cream compared with peels for photodamaged forearms.METHODS This interventional, randomized, comparative, evaluator-blind study included 32 patients with severe photoaging of forearms. The regimens comprised either application of 5% 5-FU cream everyday for 4 weeks on 1 forearm and 4 weekly peels on the other. Efficacy assessment included: clinical photodamage scores, opinion of patients and investigators, and blind photographic evaluation by independent observers. Skin biopsies were performed for histologic and immunohistochemical analysis. Safety evaluation comprised observation of adverse events.RESULTS Clinical and histologic findings confirmed the benefits of topical 5% 5-FU, in cream or peels, which improved skin appearance and decreased the dermal elastotic material. Immunohistochemistry showed reduced levels of epidermal p53 and increase in the level of procollagen I. Results were maintained after 6 months. Predictable adverse events occurred, with no differences between treatments. Patients reported better tolerability to peels.CONCLUSION Five percent 5-FU cream or peels was safe and effective for the treatment of photodamaged forearms. Decreased epidermal p53 levels and new dermal collagen were confirmed.

A quimioterapia é o tratamento padrão para pacientes com os mais variados tipos de câncer, (sendo o 5 Fluorouracil -5Fu- a droga de escolha no caso do câncer colorretal) mas ela está associada a efeitos colaterais que podem ser muito severos. A exposição de células tumorais a agentes antineoplásicos, em dose baixa e não citotóxica, pode torná-las mais imunogênicas, enquanto que a exposição de células dendríticas (DC) a esses agentes antineoplásicos pode aumentar sua capacidade de induzir resposta antitumoral in vitro. O objetivo deste estudo é verificar se o tratamento in vitro de células tumorais MC38 com 5-Fu (dose não citotóxica) pode induzir a expressão de moléculas que aumentem suas características imunogênicas, fazendo com que elas sejam mais facilmente identificadas pelo sistema imune. Para isso, camundongos da linhagem C57/Bl-6 foram inoculados subcutaneamente com células MC38 e sete dias depois foram vacinados com DC sensibilizadas com antígenos tumorais obtidos a partir da lise de células MC38 mantidas em cultura e previamente tratadas com 5-Fu, em dose não citotóxica (DC-5Fu), para que a performance das DC sensibilizadas pudesse ser comparada à performance das DC selvagens
