The effects of sucralfate suspension and diphenhydramine syrup plus kaolin-pectin on radiotherapy-induced mucositis.
A prospective, double-blind study compared the effectiveness of sucralfate suspension with diphenhydramine syrup plus kaolin-pectin in reducing severity and pain of radiation-induced oropharyngeal mucositis. Fourteen patients who received at least 4600 cGy to the oral cavity used one of the mouth rinses four times a day, beginning at 1600 cGy. Data were collected on daily perceived pain and helpfulness of mouth rinse, weekly mucositis grade, weight change, and interruption of therapy. Analysis of data revealed no statistically significant differences between the two groups in any parameter. A retrospective review of 15 patients who had received at least 4600 cGy radiation to the oropharynx but had not used a daily mouth-coating rinse, was compared with the study group. Comparison of the two groups suggested that consistent daily oral hygiene and use of a mouth-coating agent will result in less pain and may reduce weight loss and interruption of radiation because of severe mucositis.

Short-and long-term experimental study of the toxicity of coal-mine dust and of some of its constituents.
The toxicity of various minerals (kaolin, muscovite, illite) was compared by tracheal tests on rats to that of reference dusts (quartz, titanium dioxide, coal). These minerals have various degrees of toxicity. Owing to their sometimes very high concentration in the respirable dust, their toxicity should be taken into consideration. In order to define the aggravating role of quartz more accurately, dust inhalation tests were also conducted on rats with coal and a coal-quartz mixture containing about 10% quartz. The difference in the toxicity of these two types of dust which is practically not detectable up to 12 months, then increases progressively after that period. In addition, in rats having inhaled either coal or a quartz-coal mixture for 24 months, there appear tumoral lesions, principally of epidermoid type.
