For analysis of the kinetics of cellular proliferation of human brain tumors, 3H-Thymidine has been used in vivo by local application.

METHOD: Tritiated thymidine was injected into the tumor at craniotomy in 0.3ml of 5% glucose solution at a concentration of 100μc per ml. The specimens were obtained about 30 min. after the injection of tritated thymidine reserving blood circu-lation and used for autoradiographic and electron-microscopic studies.

Autoradiographs were prepared by dipping into SAKURA-NR-M2 Emulsion, exposed for 30 days, processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.

RESULTS: The percentage of labeled cells (Label-ing Index or LI) was counted in various human brain tumors 30 min. after injection on tritiated thymidine. Labeling indices of kataplastic astrocyto-ma were 2.6 to 11.0%. In this type of tumors many endothelial cells showed labeling, but giant cells were not labeled. On the other hand astrocytomas without kataplasia showed LI of 1.6 to 4.6%. The percent-age of labeled tumor cells seems to correlate with the malignancy of the tumors. The labeling index was 4.1% in an oligodendroglioma with astrocyto-matous foci. The foci of astrocytoma in this tumor showed 2.9% of labeling. In meningioma group, LI of the syncytial type was 0.16%, whereas fibro-blastic and angioblastic types showed 1.4% and 0.6%-1.1% respectively. In other brain tumors labeling indices were low ; acoustic neurinomas (1.0-2.1%), pituitary adenoma (under 1.1%) and cranio-pharyngioma (under 0.3%). Higher labeling indices were found for medulloblastoma (8.1%) and open-dymogliohlastoma (3.3%).

By use of labeling index of tumor cells, we tried to analyse the kinetics of cellular proliferation and to infer the time of the onset of the tumors.
