BACKGROUND: Ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous acetic acid injection therapy (PAIT) is effective for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to determine the occurrence and predictive value of persistent intra-tumoral retention of acetic acid after PAIT. METHODS: /The trial/ prospectively studied 60 (52 M, mean age 68 +/- 10 years) patients with 72 HCC nodules (45 < or = 3 cm) treated with PAIT. The presence of post-treatment persistent retention of acetic acid, defined as a homogeneous and highly hyperechoid mass in US appearance 3 days after completion of the treatment, was correlated with the treatment response. RESULTS: The mean size of the treated tumor was 2.9 +/- 1.0 cm (range 1.5-5 cm). Thirty (42%) HCC nodules showed complete tumor necrosis demonstrated by contrast-enhanced dynamic CT. Complete response was found in 22 (69%) of 32 nodules showing persistent intra-tumoral retention of acetic acid (P < 0.001). Small (< or = 3 cm) tumor size was also significantly associated with complete tumor necrosis (P = 0.001). There were no significant differences of the injection volume and treatment sessions between those with and without complete tumor necrosis in either small or large (> 3 cm) HCC (P > 0.1). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that persistent retention of acetic acid (odds ratio (OR) 10.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.1-34.7; P < 0.001) and tumor size < or = 3 cm (OR 6.8, 95%, CI 1.8-25.8; P = 0.002) were independent factors predicting complete tumor necrosis. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of persistent retention of acetic acid is associated with a favorable response and may predict complete tumor necrosis after PAIT.

EXPL THER BACKGROUND AND AIM: Application of acetic acid topically to the mucosal or serosal side of the stomach has been well used to create a chronic gastric ulcer model. The aim of the present study was to apply it as a new cytoreductive approach in a mouse model of gastric cancer. METHODS: A total of 43 genetically engineered mice, the so-called (INS-GAS) mice that develop spontaneously gastric cancer at 10-14 months of age, were included. Acetic acid-induced ulcer method was applied to mice under isofluran anesthesia. The ulcer at the cancer side was made by exposing either the anterior serosal or posterior mucosal side of gastric wall to 0.1 mL of 60% or 100% acetic acid for 30 or 60 s with a cylindrical metal mold (4 mm ID). Route to the serosal side was intra-abdominal and one to the mucosal side was through a small hole made in the forestomach. The opposite side of gastric wall (no treatment with acetic acid) was used as the corresponding control. After the mice were sacrificed, the stomachs were collected 1, 3, 6 hrs or 1, 3 and 7 days, postoperatively, and evaluated by visual inspection and histology. RESULTS: Gastric cancer was found in both the anterior and posterior walls of the corpus in all 43 mice. Intraluminal pH value was between 11 and 13. Severe necrosis in the cancer was observed in the side exposing to acetic acid, but not in the control side, shortly after the treatment (i.e. within 30 or 60 min). The muscularis mucosa and muscle layers were less damaged, regardless of the side of the treatment. Ulcer formation in the cancer took place 1, 3 or 7 days later. The ulcer depth was sometimes at the muscularis mucosa and muscle layers. At 3 and 7 days, regeneration of epithelial cells was clearly observed in the ulcer margin in the stomach of mice. CONCLUSIONS: Topical application of acetic acid either from mucosal or serosal surface promptly caused the necrosis of tumor, suggesting the potential approach of this simple and reliable method as a cytoreductive treatment of gastric cancer in patients through endoscopy or laparoscopy.

EXPL THER OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether enhancing vaginal acidity improves the success of medical abortions in the midtrimester. METHODS: A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted with 48 women with missed midtrimester abortions. Twice daily, the study participants (n=24) were treated with a 3% acetic acid gel and the controls (n=24) with a placebo gel, starting 2 days prior to initiating the misoprostol treatment. The primary outcome measures were the rates of successful abortion within 24 and 48 hours. Secondary measures included gel tolerability and adverse effects of the misoprostol treatment. RESULTS: The success rates were higher in the study group, within both 24 hours (11/23 vs 3/24; P=0.011) and 48 hours (18/23 vs 6/24; P<0.001). Among the women with a vaginal pH of 5 or higher at baseline, acidic gel was also associated with higher success rates within 24 hours (8/13 vs 2/15; P<0.01) and 48 hours (13/13 vs 3/15; P<0,001). The vaginal gels were well tolerated and the misoprostol treatment produced no serious adverse effects. CONCLUSION: A 3% acetic acid gel appears to be an effective and safe preparatory adjuvant to vaginal misoprostol treatment for midtrimester medical abortions, especially in women with a vaginal pH of 5 or higher...

... Thirty-five patients with histologically confirmed high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix entered the study. ...Telomerase activity was detectable in 27 of 35 (77.1%) fresh tissue samples, 15 of 35 (42.9%) tissue samples swabbed with 5% acetic acid, and 0 of 10 (0%) normal cervical tissue samples, respectively. Twelve samples became telomerase negative after 5% acetic acid applied. Among the 15 telomerase-positive tissue samples swabbed with 5% acetic acid, 12 had relative weak telomerase activity compared to corresponding fresh tissue samples, the other 3 remained the same.

... Glacial acetic acid is widely used as a substitute for chemical peeling because it is readily ... available and affordable. However, its use can result in a number of serious complications. A 28-year-old female patient was admitted to /the/ hospital with deep second-degree chemical burns on her face caused by the application of a mixture of glacial acetic acid and flour for chemical peeling. During a 6-month follow-up, hypertrophic scarring developed on the both nasolabial folds despite scar management. Glacial acetic acid is a concentrated form of the organic acid, which gives vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell, and it is also an important reagent during the production of organic compounds. Unfortunately, misleading information regarding the use of glacial acetic acid for chemical peeling is causing serious chemical burns. Furthermore, there is high possibility of a poor prognosis, which includes inflammation, hypertrophic scar formation and pigmentation associated with its misuse. ...

Although acetic acid has been shown to induce apoptosis in yeast, the exact apoptotic mechanisms remain unknown. Here, /the study examined/ the effects of acetic acid treatment on yeast cells by 2-DE, revealing alterations in the levels of proteins directly or indirectly linked with the target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway: amino-acid biosynthesis, transcription/translation machinery, carbohydrate metabolism, nucleotide biosynthesis, stress response, protein turnover and cell cycle. The increased levels of proteins involved in amino-acid biosynthesis presented a counteracting response to a severe intracellular amino-acid starvation induced by acetic acid. Deletion of GCN4 and GCN2 encoding key players of general amino-acid control (GAAC) system caused a higher resistance to acetic acid indicating an involvement of Gcn4p/Gcn2p in the apoptotic signaling. Involvement of the TOR pathway in acetic acid-induced apoptosis was also reflected by the higher survival rates associated to a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-negative phenotype and lower reactive oxygen species levels of Deltator1 cells. In addition, deletion mutants for several downstream mediators of the TOR pathway revealed that apoptotic signaling involves the phosphatases Pph21p and Pph22p but not Sit4p. Altogether, /these/ results indicate that GAAC and TOR pathways (Tor1p) are involved in the signaling of acetic acid-induced apoptosis.

Acetic acid was found to have actions on urinary bladder smooth muscle in /the/ routine ion channel screening assays. Numerous studies have examined the mechanisms of bladder irritation by acetic acid; however, the direct effect of acetic acid on ion channels in detrusor smooth muscle cells has not been evaluated. /The study/ used whole-cell patch-clamp techniques to examine the effect of acetic acid on large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BKCa) from guinea pig detrusor smooth muscle cells and CHO cells expressing recombinant human BKCaalphabeta1 (CHO BKCaalphabeta1) and human BKCaalpha (CHO BKCaalpha). Acetic acid activated BKCa currents in a concentration-dependent (0.01% to 0.05% v/v) manner in all the cell systems studied. Acetic acid (0.05%) increased BKCa current at +30 mV by 2764 +/- 918% (n=8) in guinea pig detrusor smooth muscle cells. Acetic acid (0.03%) shifted the V1/2 of conductance-voltage curve by 64 +/- 14 (n=5), 128 +/- 14 (n=5), and 126 +/- 12 mV (n=4) in CHO BKCaalpha, CHO BKCaalphabeta1 and detrusor smooth muscle cells, respectively. This effect of acetic acid was found to be independent of pH and was also not produced by its salt form, sodium acetate. Automated patch-clamp experiments also showed similar activation of CHO BKCaalphabeta1 by acetic acid. In conclusion, acetic acid directly activates BKCa channels in detrusor smooth muscle cells. This novel study necessitates caution while interpreting the results from acetic acid bladder irritation model.

/It was/ previously shown that acetic acid activates a mitochondria-dependent death process in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and that the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) is required for mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization and cytochrome c release. Mitochondrial fragmentation and degradation have also been shown in response to this death stimulus. Herein, /the study/ show that autophagy is not active in cells undergoing acetic acid-induced apoptosis and is therefore not responsible for mitochondrial degradation. Furthermore, /the study/ found that the vacuolar protease Pep4p and the AAC proteins have a role in mitochondrial degradation using yeast genetic approaches. Depletion and overexpression of Pep4p, an orthologue of human cathepsin D, delays and enhances mitochondrial degradation respectively. Moreover, Pep4p is released from the vacuole into the cytosol in response to acetic acid treatment. AAC-deleted cells also show a decrease in mitochondrial degradation in response to acetic acid and are not defective in Pep4p release. Therefore, AAC proteins seem to affect mitochondrial degradation at a step subsequent to Pep4p release, possibly triggering degradation through their involvement in mitochondrial permeabilization. The finding that both mitochondrial AAC proteins and the vacuolar Pep4p interfere with mitochondrial degradation suggests a complex regulation and interplay between mitochondria and the vacuole in yeast programmed cell death.
