Abstract
Recent data show that platinum group metals (PGMs), primarily platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and rhodium (Rd), from automobile catalytic converters are being deposited in the environment. We investigated the PGM neurotoxicity and tolerance mechanism by induction of metallothionein (MT) in developing chick embryos. Chick embryos were injected on the 7th and 14th days of incubation with different concentrations of Pt and mixture of Pt, Pd and Rh (PGM mix) solutions. It is documented that induction of MT by zinc (Zn+2) protects against metal and non-metal hepatotoxicity. In this study the MT induction was examined through pretreatment of the two highest Pt(IV) exposure levels with exogenous Zn2+ on the 4th and 11th days of incubation. SDS-PAGE assay and digital image system were used to identify and quantify MT in homogenized brain and liver tissues. Quantitative analysis revealed an increase of MT in the 5 ppm Pt exposure as compared to controls. The 10 ppm Pt treatment was a lethal dose for exposed embryos. There was increased mortality at the 1.0 PGM mix level. The interaction of Pt, Pd and Rh in the mixture seems to favor metal accumulation and MT induction in the liver but not the brain. Pretreatment with exogenous Zn2+ increased chick survival. These results indicate that induction of MT plays a protective role against PGM toxicity. Metal analysis using atomic absorption spectrometer in graphite furnace mode (GFAAS) revealed PGM accumulation in chick embryo liver and brain tissues proportional to exposure concentration. Our results may imply that MT has an important role as a tolerance mechanism against PGM toxicity. The presence of Pt(IV) in brain tissue suggests that the undeveloped blood-brain barrier is permeable to PGMs. This raises concerns regarding the implication of these metals on neural injury.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to illustrate and inform key scientific issues, as determined from the peer-reviewed literature, that are critical to developing an accurate understanding of the current state of knowledge regarding platinum (Pt) in medical devices (ie, breast implants). The author identified most studies for inclusion via a PubMed database search; she extracted descriptive statistics from the studies. The author calculated Pt and Pt salt exposure doses for environmental and occupationally related samples. She observed that a number of samples elicited biological effects over a wide range of concentrations. A single silicone breast implant may be expected to contain higher Pt and Pt salt doses than have produced adverse health effects in humans. The author posits a biologically plausible rationale for Pt salt-related health problems in women that have been exposed to silicone breast implants.

Abstract
We investigated the possible pharmacokinetic interactions of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors. Ten patients with advanced stage solid tumors were treated with gemcitabine (1500 mg/m) as a 30-min intravenous infusion on days 1 and 8, followed by oxaliplatin (130 mg/m) as a 4-h intravenous infusion, on day 8 every 21 days. Pharmacokinetic data for 24 h after dosing were obtained for both day 1 (gemcitabine without oxaliplatin coadministration) and day 8 (gemcitabine with oxaliplatin) during the first cycle of treatment. Gemcitabine levels in plasma were quantified using a reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography assay with ultraviolet detection, and total and ultrafiltrated platinum levels by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry with deuterium correction. All pharmacokinetic parameters of gemcitabine seemed to be unchanged when coadministered with oxaliplatin (day 8) compared with pharmacokinetic data of gemcitabine given as a single agent (day 1). The mean (maximum) concentration of gemcitabine on days 1 and 8 was 13.57 (+/-7.42) and 10.23 (+/-5.21) mg/l, respectively (P=0.28), and the mean half-life was 0.32 and 0.44 h, respectively (P=0.40). Similarly, the P-values for AUC0-24 and the observed clearance were 0.61 and 0.30, respectively. Plasma total and free platinum levels were in agreement with other published data. Gemcitabine disposition appeared to be unaffected by oxaliplatin coadministration because no significant changes in pharmacokinetics between day 1 (gemcitabine without oxaliplatin coadministration) and day 8 (gemcitabine with oxaliplatin) were observed.

Abstract
Cisplatin has been in use for 40 years, primarily for treatment of ovarian and testicular cancer. Oxaliplatin is the only effective treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. Neurotoxicity occurs in up to 30% of patients and is dose-limiting for both drugs. The neuropathy is characterized by selective sensory loss in the extremities. Cisplatin treatment is associated with high levels of Pt-DNA binding and apoptosis of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. In this study, we directly compared the effects of oxaliplatin on DRG in vitro. Compared with cisplatin, oxaliplatin formed fewer Pt-DNA adducts following 6, 12, 24, and 48h (0.007ng Pt/mug DNA, 0.012ng/microg, 0.011ng/microg, 0.011ng/microg versus 0.014ng/microg, 0.022ng/microg, 0.041ng/microg, 0.030ng/microg), respectively. These findings closely correlated with data on cell survival where equimolar concentrations of oxaliplatin induced less cell death than cisplatin. Oxaliplatin-induced DRG death was associated with the morphological characteristics of apoptosis defined by 4'-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole and annexin/propidium iodide staining. Death was completely inhibited by the caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk. Our results demonstrate that both compounds cause apoptosis of DRG neurons but compared to cisplatin, oxaliplatin forms fewer Pt-DNA adducts and is less neurotoxic to DRG neurons in vitro.

Abstract
The interactions of Jurkat cells with cisplatin, cis-[Pt(15NH3)2Cl2]1, are studied using 1H-15N heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) NMR and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. We show that Jurkat cells in culture rapidly modify the monocarbonato complex cis-[Pt(15NH3)2(CO3)Cl]- (4), a cisplatin species that forms in culture media and probably also in blood. Analysis of the HSQC NMR peak intensity for 4 in the presence of different numbers of Jurkat cells reveals that each cell is capable of modifying 0.0028 pmol of 4 within approximately 0.6 h. The amounts of platinum taken up by the cell, weakly bound to the cell surface, remaining in the culture medium, and bound to genomic DNA were measured as functions of time of exposure to different concentrations of drug. The results show that most of the 4 that has been modified by the cells remains in the culture medium as a substance of molecular mass <3 kDa, which is HSQC NMR silent, and is not taken up by the cell. These results are consistent with a hitherto undocumented extracellular detoxification mechanism in which the cells rapidly modify 4, which is present in the culture medium, so it cannot bind to the cell. Because there is only a slow decrease in the amount of unmodified 4 remaining in the culture medium after 1 h, -1.1 +/- 0.4 microM h(-1), the cells subsequently lose their ability to modify 4. These observations have important implications for the mechanism of action of cisplatin.

Abstract
Purpose The majority of cytotoxic drugs for adults are dosed based on body surface area (BSA), aiming to reduce interpatient variability in drug exposure. We prospectively studied the usefulness of BSA-based dosing of cisplatin in patients at extremes of BSA values. Patients and Methods Patients were randomly assigned to receive a fixed dose of cisplatin in course 1, and a BSA-adjusted dose in course 2, or vice versa. The fixed dose was based on the average BSA for males and females, while extremes were set at BSA values exceeding the average ± 1 standard deviation. Subsequently, we retrospectively analyzed data from a normal population. Results In 25 patients assessable for both courses, the use of a fixed dose of cisplatin resulted in reduced exposure to unbound platinum in patients at the upper extremes of BSA (P = .003) and higher exposures in patients at the lower extremes (P = .009), as compared with exposures following the BSA-adjusted dose. Although clearance was related to BSA (R2 = 0.44; P < .001), only a small reduction in interpatient variability in clearance after correction for BSA was achieved (20.8% v 17.1%). In the retrospective analysis, compared with the average patient, the clearance of unbound platinum in patients with a BSA value ≤ 1.65 m2 was 16% slower (P < .001), while an 18% faster clearance (P < .001) was observed in patients with a BSA value ≥ 2.05 m2. Conclusion Unless better predictors for platinum clearance are identified, fixed-dose regimens per BSA cluster (≤ 1.65 m2; 1.66 m2 to 2.04 m2; ≥ 2.05 m2) are recommended.

Abstract
Platinum enriched with 194Pt was irradiated for 4 days in NRG's TIRO 1 reactor, to produce (195m)Pt. Spectral analysis of the product was performed using a calibrated hyper pure germanium detector and its constituent radioisotopes were identified as (195m)Pt, 199Au and 192Ir. Using the detector's intrinsic efficiency calibration, their activities were estimated to be 1049, 133 and 5.8 MBq, respectively. The performance of the gamma camera was tested using quality control procedures recommended by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) and was found to be satisfactory. A torso phantom was used to determine the minimum detection limit (MDL) of (195m)Pt in a 2 cm diameter tumour using SPECT acquisitions (32 steps, 60 s per step). The MDL was found to be 8 ppm assuming an administered patient dose of 50 MBq and a total cisplatin dose of 105 mg. This work indicates that (195m)Pt-cisplatin is suitable for clinical scintigraphy and has led to the development of a clinical protocol that has been approved for a pilot study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Even though increased environmental platinum levels were found since the introduction of automobile catalytic converters, little is known about the pathways of corporal uptake and the bioavailability of platinum in the general adult population. The aim of this study is to identify and quantify the main exposure pathways of gold and platinum in the general adult population. METHODS The German Environmental Survey 1998 (GerES III) collected population-based data on the corporal gold and platinum burden from a large sample of 1080 persons, 18-69 years of age. Urinary metal concentration was analysed by SF-ICP-MS. Exposure data were assessed by standardized questionnaires. Data were log transformed and analysed using multiple linear regression analysis with respect to exposure variables. RESULTS The R2 of the linear regression model of urinary gold and platinum (ng/l) burden is 0.349 and 0.235, respectively. In both models, the number of teeth with noble metal dental alloy restorations (NMDAR) is the most important exposure pathway. One versus no tooth with NMDAR is associated with an increase of 23.7% in urinary gold and 35.6% in platinum concentration. Chewing gum intensifies the release of gold and platinum from NMDAR: every additional day per week when gum is chewed is associated with an increased gold (5.6%) and platinum (6.9%) burden. Furthermore, elevated urinary gold and platinum concentrations were found for higher creatinine concentrations, more frequent coffee consumption and for people from the upper social class. Gold burden is also increased in people with arthritis. Platinum burden is also increased in people living in western or northern Germany. Traffic-related variables had no significant effect on platinum burden.

Abstract
Background levels of platinum were determined in human autopsy tissues taken from five individuals. The investigated specimens were lung, liver and kidney. Sample preparation involved microwave digestion followed by an open vessel treatment. Inductively-coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry (ICP-SFMS) was applied in combination with an ultrasonic nebulization/membrane desolvation system for sample introduction. Isotope dilution analysis was employed for accurate quantification of platinum. Excellent procedural detection limits (3 s validation) of 20, 20 and 34 pg g(-1) dry weight were obtained for lung, liver and kidney tissue, respectively. Due to the lack of appropriate biological reference material, road dust (BCR-723) was used for method validation. Platinum levels ranging between 0.03 and 1.42 ng g(-1) were determined in the investigated samples. The platinum concentrations observed in human lung tissue may reflect the increasing atmospheric background levels of platinum originating from car catalysts. The presence of platinum in kidney and liver tissue samples clearly indicates the bioavailability of the element.

Abstract
Minerals are important for cellular functions, such as transcription and enzyme activity, and are also involved in the metabolism of anticancer chemotherapeutic compounds. Profiling of intracellular elements in individual cells could help in understanding the mechanism of drug resistance in tumors and possibly provide a new strategy of anticancer chemotherapy. Using a recently developed technique of scanning X-ray fluorescence microscopy (SXFM), we analyzed intracellular elements after treatment with cis-diamminedichloro-platinum(II) (CDDP), a platinum-based anticancer agent. The images obtained by SXFM (element array) revealed that the average Pt content of CDDP-resistant cells was 2.6 times less than that of sensitive cells, and the zinc content was inversely correlated with the intracellular Pt content. Data suggested that Zn-related detoxification is responsible for resistance to CDDP. Of Zn-related excretion factors, glutathione was highly correlated with the amount of Zn. The combined treatment of CDDP and a Zn(II) chelator resulted in the incorporation of thrice more Pt with the concomitant down-regulation of glutathione. We propose that the generation of an element array by SXFM opens up new avenues in cancer biology and treatment.

Abstract
The uptake and bioaccumulation of the platinum group metals (PGM) platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and rhodium (Rh) by the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) were investigated in exposure studies using ground material from unused automobile catalytic converters as metal source. The mussels were exposed to the metals in tap water or humic water. In the soft tissue samples of exposed mussels mean Pt levels ranged in dependence on the type of tank water and the exposure period (6, 9, or 18 weeks) between 780 and 4300 ng/g, the Pd levels ranged between 720 and 6300 ng/g, and the Rh levels ranged between 270 and 1900 ng/g. In contrast, the control mussels had metal concentrations of <20 ng/g (Pt), <50 ng/g (Pd), and <40 ng/g (Rh). Considerably higher PGM levels were found in the exposed mussels of the humic water group than in those of the tap water group. Although there is a cumulative increase of the PGM concentrations in the environment since the introduction of the automobile catalyst more than 20 years ago, only little information about the PGM contamination in the biosphere, especially the fauna, is available. Due to the high capacity of D. polymorpha to accumulate PGM, this bivalve could be used as a potential sentinel for monitoring the noble metals in aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
PURPOSE Isolated pelvic perfusion (IPP) therapy exposes target tissues to high doses of anticancer drugs with low systemic concentrations, but the major drawback is drug leakage into the systemic circulation, which often thwarts the increased drug concentration. In this study, the efficacy of altering the in-out flow rate during IPP in order to decrease the leakage was assessed in adult pigs. METHODS The abdominal aorta and the infrarenal vena cava were occluded with two balloon catheters, blood in the extracorporeal circuit was circulated with twin rotary pumps, and the IPP was performed with platinum. Three sets of in-out flow rates were used, and the degree of drug leakage into the systemic circulation was evaluated. The volume of blood withdrawn was equal to the volume returned (300 ml/min; group A), 5% higher (group B), or 10% higher (group C). The platinum concentrations in the pelvic circulation, systemic circulation, and urine were measured and compared. RESULTS The average and maximum plasma platinum concentrations in the pelvic circulation did not significantly differ among the three groups. The plasma platinum concentrations in the systemic venous circulation of the three groups significantly (P<0.01) decreased as the volume withdrawn during IPP increased. The percentage of platinum eliminated in the urine during IPP was significantly (P<0.01) lower in group B and C than in group A. CONCLUSIONS Setting the volume withdrawn higher than the volume returned decreased leakage into the systemic circulation under isolated pelvic perfusion.

Abstract
Cisplatin causes apoptosis of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. The amount of platinum binding to DNA correlates with cisplatin toxicity in cancer cellsGenomic DNA platinum content of cultured embryonic DRG neurons and PC12 cells was assayed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Throughout these studies, "cisplatin" refers to the specific drug; "platinum" to the bound form of the drug that is measured in ICP-MS.. Cisplatin binds neuronal DNA more than a neuron-like dividing cell line (PC12); 10-fold at 24 h and 24-fold greater at 72 h. Difference in platinum accumulation was not due to dividing versus post-mitotic state, or to a difference in rate of repair. There was overall greater accumulation of platinum in DRG neurons. In vivo DNA-Platinum binding in adult (300 g) rat DRG was greater than in multiple other tissues. Concomitant treatment with high-dose NGF prevented cisplatin-mediated neuronal apoptosis in vitro but did not reduce adduct formation. Our results show that NGF does not alter platination of DNA, indicating that it interrupts the platinum death pathway after adduct formation. In addition, disproportionate platinum accumulation may explain why a drug aimed at killing rapidly dividing cells causes sensory neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Concentrations of the platinum group elements Pt, Pd, and Rh were analyzed by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (Pt, Rh) and total-reflection X-ray fluorescence (Pd) in the intestinal helminth Pomphorhynchus laevis and its host Barbus barbus. The fish were caught in the Danube river south of the city of Budapest (Hungary) and were exposed to ground catalytic material for 28 days. Following exposure all three precious metals were taken up and accumulated in host organs and the parasites. Interestingly, in all tissues of the unexposed controls Pt was found, whereas Pd was not present in the muscle of the controls and Rh was not detectable in muscle and intestine of unexposed barbel. All metals were found at significantly higher concentrations in the acanthocephalan than in the tissues of barbel. These results are discussed with respect to the application of P. laevis as an accumulation indicator for metals.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the optimal sampling design for empirical Bayesian forecasting for nedaplatin, and also to develop a simple formula for estimating the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of platinum which relates to hematological toxicity after nedaplatin dosing using limited sampling points. Plasma unbound platinum concentration data were retrospectively collected from 27 courses administered to 20 Japanese adult patients. To determine the optimal sampling points, 1 - 5 data point(s) were selected with all combinations and clearance in each patient was estimated by the empirical Bayesian method. As measures for the Bayesian predictive performance, mean prediction error and root mean squared error were estimated. These indices suggested that the sampling time(s) of 4 hours in case of the one-point sampling gives better estimates for individual clearance. As for the limited sampling strategy, a simple formula to calculate AUC, AUC = 0.039x dose + 11.6 x Cp4h - 0.88, was obtained, where Cp4h is the concentration at 4 hours after the end of infusin. These results should be helpful for adjusting dosage to achieve the target AUC.

Abstract
Since the level of platinum in the environment is destined to increase, because of its use in vehicle catalytic converters, the toxicity of platinum needs further investigation. In this study, the frog embryo teratogenesis assay-Xenopus (FETAX) was used to compare the embryotoxicity and teratogenicity of two common platinum species, (NH4)2PtCl4 and (NH4)2PtCl6. The uptake rates of the two platinum species were studied, and also their effects on the expression of genes encoding metallothionein and heat-shock protein 70, which are known to be induced by several stress factors. In addition, the differential display technique was used to search for genes that were specifically induced by platinum. A gene for the type I collagen alpha-chain and a novel gene were identified.

Abstract
We measured total Pt concentration in serum and tongue tissue in CDGP intraarterial infusion with male rats. Subjects were 40 male rats sorted into intraarterial infusion (n=20), intravenous infusion (n=20), and CDGP infusion groups at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Total Pt concentration was measured every 30 minutes for 120 minutes after CDGP infusion was completed. Total Pt concentration in tongue tissue was measured on the dosage and nondosage side. Total Pt concentration on the dosage side of tongue tissue of the intraarterial infusion group was higher than in the intravenous infusion group for 120 minutes. Total Pt concentration in intraarterial infusion group tongue tissue on the dosage side was higher than on the nondosage side for 120 minutes. Serum total Pt concentration, total Pt concentration in nondosage side tongue tissue, AUC of total Pt in serum, elimination half-life (t1/2) did not show a difference in the intraarterial or intravenous infusion groups. Total Pt AUC in tongue tissue on the intraarterial infusion group dosage side was greater than in others. In intraarterial infusion of CDGP, Pt concentration in tongue tissue is higher than in intravenous infusion. Serum Pt concentration, did not differ by group. This study showed that intraarterial infusion of CDGP has the potency to become a chemotherapy indication the same as intravenous infusion, in addition to the target organ.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of total and free plasma platinum (Pt) and Pt tissue distribution were investigated in rats after oral administration of (OC-6-43)-bis(acetato)(1-adamantylamine)amminedichloroplatinum(IV) (LA-12). Plasma and ultrafiltrate were sampled until 48 h and tissue samples were taken at 24 and 48 h after single doses of 38.6 or 540 mg LA-12/kg, and after once-a-day dosing of 4.3 or 38.6 mg kg(-1) LA-12 over 14 consecutive days. Total plasma Pt concentrations increased less than proportionally to the 14-fold increase in the single dose. The mean C(max) values of 1.5 and 6.3 mg L(-1) were observed at 0.5 and 1 h, respectively, and the mean AUC values achieved were 29 and 144 mg h L(-1). The highest tissue Pt concentrations were found in the liver and kidneys. Platinum was undetectable in the brain while in other tissues (muscle, skin, heart, lungs), the concentrations were lower (after single dose) or similar (after multiple doses) when compared to the plasma C(max) values. Plasma Pt concentrations after once-a-day dosing of 38.6 mg kg(-1) were two- to three-fold less than that after a single dose while Pt concentrations in various tissues rose two- to four-fold. Accumulation of Pt was even higher in the kidneys (seven-fold) and spleen (nine-fold). After once-a-day dosing, tissue Pt levels increased proportionally with the dose within the range from 4.3 to 38.6 mg kg(-1). At the same time, the increase in total plasma Pt concentrations was 40% less than proportional. Concentrations of Pt in the plasma ultrafiltrate decreased rapidly with the initial half-life of 1 h.

Abstract
The increased use of platinum group elements (PGE) in automobile catalysts has led to concern over potential environmental and biological accumulation. Platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and rhodium (Rh) concentrations have increased in the environment since the introduction of automobile catalysts. This review summarises current knowledge concerning the environmental mobility, speciation and bioavailability of Pt, Pd and Rh. The greater proportion of PGE emissions is from automobile catalysts, in the form of nanometer-sized catalyst particles, which deposit on roadside surfaces, as evidenced in samples of road dust, grass and soil. In soil, PGE can be transformed into more mobile species through complexation with organic matter and can be solubilised in low pH rainwater. There are indications that environmentally formed Pd species are more soluble and hence more mobile in the environment than Rh and Pt. PGE can reach waterbodies through stormwater transport and deposition in sediments. Besides external contamination of grass close to roads, internal PGE uptake has been observed for plants growing on soil contaminated with automobile catalyst PGE. Fine particles of PGE were also detected on the surface of feathers sampled from passerines and raptors in their natural habitat, and internal organs of these birds also contained PGE. Uptake has been observed in sediment-dwelling invertebrates, and laboratory studies have shown an uptake of PGE in eel and fish exposed to water containing road dust. The available evidence indicates that the PGE, especially Pd, are transported to biological materials through deposition in roots by binding to sulphur-rich low molecular weight species in plants. PGE uptake to exposed animals have uptake rates in the following order: Pd>Pt>Rh. The liver and kidney accumulate the highest levels of PGE, especially Pd. Urinary Pd and Rh, but not Pt, levels are correlated with traffic intensity. Dental alloys may lead to elevated urinary Pt levels. Platinum is a well-known allergen and Pd also shows a strong sensitisation potential.

Abstract
The increased use of platinum group elements (PGEs) in automobile catalysts and their emission into the environment has led to a concern over environmental and particularly biological accumulation. Specimens of samples from raptors are useful for the investigation of the impact of PGEs because these birds are found in both urban and rural environments and are invariably at the top of the food chain. Platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and rhodium (Rh) concentrations were determined by quadrupole Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) in eggs of the sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) and the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), and in blood, liver and kidney of the peregrine falcon, while only Pt was determined in faeces of the peregrine falcon and the gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus). PGE concentrations were higher in blood compared to both faeces and eggs, while liver and kidney concentrations were not elevated indicating no bioaccumulation through metallothionein pathways. A significant spatial trend could only be established for Pt in faeces. The general lack of a spatial trend is probably due to the widespread distribution of automobiles and the long-range transport of nanoparticles containing PGEs, and because birds migrate and forage over large areas. No significant temporal trend could be established. Higher relative concentrations of Pd, followed by Rh and Pt, indicate a mobility gradient of Pd>>Rh>Pt.

Abstract
The release of platinum (Pt) from automobiles equipped with exhaust catalysts has resulted in increasing concentrations of this normally rare metal in the urban and roadside environment. Although concentrations are increasing, little is known about the environmental effects of Pt and its potential toxicity. This study was an investigation of Pt toxicity to naturally grown periphyton communities. Periphyton communities were exposed to Pt(II) and Pt(IV) in reference and stream waters. Uptake increased linearly with Pt concentration for both reference- and stream-water exposure. However, decreased photosynthetic activity was observed only for reference-water exposure. This difference was related to uptake by biotic components in reference water and binding to abiotic components in stream water.

Evaluation of isolated lung perfusion as neoadjuvant therapy of lung metastases using a novel in vivo pig model: II. High-dose cisplatin is well tolerated by the native lung tissue*1. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2004; 26:800-6.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Efficacy of in vivo isolated lung perfusion (ILP) with cisplatin could be shown in different rodent tumor models. Despite the use of this alternative therapeutical strategy in very few patients with lung metastases, there are no systematic studies regarding the tolerance of the native lung tissue in large animal models or humans. METHODS In a novel ILP pig model, groups with two different concentrations of cisplatin (group CP150: 150 mg/m(2) cisplatin, n=5; group CP300: 300 mg/m(2) cisplatin, n=5) were compared with a control group (n=5) and a Sham group (n=5) concerning the influence on hemodynamic, ventilatory and gas exchange parameters as well as on structural integrity of the lung. In the additional CP300-HT group the potentially cumulative effect of hyperthermia and high-dose cisplatin perfusion was evaluated (300 mg/m(2) cisplatin, 41.5 degrees C, n=5). Following the ILP of the left lung for 40 min, right main bronchus and right pulmonary arteries were clamped and survival as well as lung function parameters were dependent on the previously perfused lung for the 6-h-reperfusion period. Quantification of histological acute lung injury was performed using the score of Chiang. ANOVA, ANOVA with repeated measures and Pearson's correlation estimation were applied for statistical evaluation. RESULTS All animals survived ILP and the entire reperfusion period. Platinum levels of the perfusate and lung tissue showed a significant correlation with the dose given (P<0.001) but no correlation with the very low plasma levels in all groups (P=0.825). ILP resulted in a slight deterioration of most functional parameters compared to the Sham group. Although there were no differences between the perfusion groups regarding hemodynamic and ventilatory parameters, gas exchange parameters (pO(2)/FiO(2)-index, pCO(2), AADO(2)) demonstrated a trend toward dose-related functional impairment. Histological evaluation confirmed a dose-depending damage of lung tissue (P<0.001, correlation coefficient 0.670). The hyperthermic ILP with high-dose cisplatin led to improved gas exchange parameters and a reduction of morphological lung damage. CONCLUSIONS In vivo ILP with high-dose cisplatin represents a safe procedure in this pig model. Hyperthermic perfusion up to 41.5 degrees C was beneficial to reduce the acute lung injury. The promising results of this study might be used for initiation of clinical trials as an alternative treatment in patients with a very poor prognosis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare intra-arterial hepatic administration (IAH) versus i.v. administration of oxaliplatin and cisplatin in a VX2 tumor model in rabbits. VX2 tumors were implanted in the livers of White New Zealand female rabbits and 2 weeks later they received either cisplatin (4 mg/kg) or oxaliplatin (6 mg/kg) administered by IAH or i.v. Platinum pharmacokinetic parameters were measured by atomic absorption spectrometry at baseline, 2, 5 10, 20, 40 and 60 min, and then at 2, 4, 6 and 24 h after drug administration. Animals were sacrificed 24 h after drug administration to measure platinum concentrations in various tissues. After IAH oxaliplatin administration, we observed a significant decrease for total and filterable platinum in the Cmax compared with i.v. administration (12.4 versus 18.2 microg/l; p=0.02 and 11.2 versus 17.3 microg/l; p=0.02, respectively). Significant differences in various tissue concentrations were reported when comparing IAH and i.v. administration of oxaliplatin with IAH administration offering an advantage over i.v. administration. No differences in pharmacokinetic parameters or platinum tissue accumulation were apparent between the IAH and i.v. administration with cisplatin. We conclude that there is a significant pharmacokinetic advantage to using oxaliplatin for locoregional IAH chemotherapy compared with i.v. administration.

Abstract
We have examined the combined anticancer effects of docetaxel (DOC) and cisplatin (CDDP) in vitro using the gastric cancer cell lines MKN-45, MKN-74, and TMK-1. Treatment of the cell lines with 30 microg/ml of DOC for 24 h followed by incubation with 3 or 10 microg/ml of CDDP for 24 h showed a clear synergistic effect. Sequence dependency of the agents was observed in these cell lines: DOC followed by CDDP (DC) showed a stronger antitumor effect than CDDP followed by DOC (CD) in all cell lines. To clarify the mechanism of action of the DC combination, total intracellular platinum (Pt) levels were evaluated after treatment with CDDP alone or combined with DC. For the MKN-45 and -74 cell lines, cells treated with DOC (10 microg/ml for 12 h) and then CDDP showed significantly increased intracellular Pt accumulation compared to cells treated with CDDP alone. We also investigated alterations in intracellular glutathione (GSH) concentration in response to DOC and CDDP. MKN-45 and -74 cells pretreated with DOC (10 microg/ml for 12 h) showed significantly increased intracellular GSH levels compared to cells administered CDDP only. To explain these findings, messenger RNA (mRNA) levels for multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MRP-1), the ATP-dependent pump for Pt-GSH complexes, were quantified in CDDP-treated MKN-45 cells with and without DOC pretreatment. While CDDP administration increased MRP-1 mRNA expression in MKN-45 cells, MRP-1 was not up-regulated after CDDP administration in DOC pretreated MKN-45 cells. Our results suggested that the enhanced CDDP toxicity due to DOC pretreatment may be related to the accumulation of intracellular Pt-GSH complexes, because DOC appears to suppress the MRP-1 up-regulation induced by CDDP exposure in gastric cancer cells.

Abstract
The bioaccumulation of Pt, Pd and Rh by grass grown hydroponically with nutrient solutions containing these ions at elevated (38.7 mg l(-1) Pt, 21.7 mg l(-1) Pd and 7.1 mg l(-1) Rh) and medium (3.6 mg l(-1) Pt, 4.4 mg l(-1) Pd and 0.5 mg l(-1) Rh) concentrations was studied by using inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry (ICP-SFMS). The highest bioaccumulation factors were obtained for Pd and Rh in roots and for Pt in leaves. The obtained results showed that most of the studied metals were accumulated in roots, and only a small fraction was really metabolised and transported to leaves. The multi-element capability of ICP-SFMS has been exploited to study the metabolism of platinum group elements (PGEs) in cultivated plants. The species of studied metals were extracted from roots and leaves and separated into two mass fractions by ultra-filtration. The low molecular mass (<10 kDa) fractions of the root and the leaf extracts were investigated by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) coupled on-line to ICP-SFMS. The presence of Ca, Cu, S and C in the same fractions as Pt, Pd and Rh may indicate the interaction of PGEs with phytochelatins and carbohydrates.
