(1993) showed that coexposure to UV-A between 300-400 nm enhanced the toxicity of nitrotoluenes to Phoiobacterium phosphoreum, a marine bioluminescent bacteria used in the Microtox test (Microbics Inc.). This paper reports that UV-A photoenhanced the toxicity of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, other types of organic compounds, and some transition metals to P. phosphoreum. Coexposure to 400 μw/cm2 for 15 min increased the toxicity of psoralen, α-terthienyl, anthracene, acridine, fluoranthene,TNT, Cu2+, As3+, Ni2, and Cd2+. Phenanthrene was photoenhanced after 30 min coexposure at 400 μw/cm2+, and Mn2+ at 800 μw/cm2 aftef 15 min. Naphthalene was not enhanced at 800 μw/cm2 for 30 min展开更多

Supplemental UV-A produced higher accumulation of total phenolic compounds and higher antioxidant capacity in red leaf lettuce compared to other treatments. Overall, supplemental UV-A produced a stronger response than other UV treatments and control in the accumulation of many phenolic compounds including luteolin-7-glucoside, quecetin-3-glucoside, and apigenin-3-glucoside in red leaf lettuce. However, UV-B and UV-AB had a negative response in the accumulation of many phenolic compounds including chlorogenic acid, luteolin-7-glucoside, quercetin-3-glucoside, and apigenin-3-glucoside in both red and green leaf lettuce varieties. In tomato fruits, supplemental UV-A had no effect on their total phenolic concentration. However, supplemental UV-B radiation for 3 h or UV-AB radiation for 9 h exposure produced higher total phenolic concentration in the fruits compared to other supplemental UV treatments. Supplemental UV-AB (3 hexposure) was generally more effective than other UV treatments in increasing the accumulation of a number of phenolic compounds including chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, chicoric acid, luteolin-7-glucoside, and other flavonoids in ripe tomato fruits. Supplemental UV-A produced higher accumulation of carotenoids including lutein and</span><span> </span><span>β</span><span>-carotene than other supplemental UV treatments, while supplemental UV-AB increased the accumulation of lycopene in fully ripe tomatoes. With regard to the essential nutrients, green leaf lettuce was more responsive to the supplemental UV treatments than red leaf lettuce.

Design: Single-center retrospective cohort analysis. Setting: Academic referral center for cutaneous lymphoma. Patients: A total of 66 of 104 patients with clinical stages IA to IIA MF who achieved complete remission (CR) after PUVA monotherapy between 1979 and 1995. Main Outcome Measures: Kaplan-Meier actuarial survival and disease-free survival curves were compared between stage IA and IB/IIA cases. Patients were stratified into relapse and nonrelapse groups based on whether their MF relapsed during study follow-up. Baseline characteristics and treatment were compared between these groups. Results: Median follow-up time was 94 months (range, 5-242 months). Thirty-three patients maintained CR for 84 months (range, 5-238 months), and 33 patients experienced relapse with a median disease-free interval of 39 months (range, 2-127 months). There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics between patients in the nonrelapse and relapse groups. Those in the nonrelapse group received a higher cumulative dosage to CR (P=.03) and required longer treatment periods to achieve CR (P=.03). Disease free survival rates at 5 and 10 years for all patients with stage IA were 56% and 30% , respectively, and for stage IB/IIA, 74% and 50% . Actuarial survival rates at 5, 10, and 15 years were 94% , 82% , and 82% , respectively, in patients with stage IA, and 80% , 69% , and 58% in patients with stage IB/IIA. The overall survival rate for the nonrelapse and relapse groups did not show any statistical difference. One third of the patients developed signs of chronic photodamage and secondary cutaneous malignancies. Conclusions: Psoralen UV-A is an effective treatment for MF, inducing long term remissions and perhaps in some cases disease “ cure.” Thirty percent to 50% of patients remain disease free for 10 years, but late relapses occur. Long-term survival is not affected by relapse status, and the risk of photodamage needs to be measured against the possible benefit of greater disease elimination.展开更多
