[The effect of intraperitoneal heparin on distribution of ACC-M in lung and liver].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of intraperitoneal heparin on the adhesion of highly lung metastasic adenoid cystic carcinoma cell line (ACC-M) in lung.


METHODS
3HTdR labeled ACC-M cells were injected by intravenous infusion after intraperitoneal injection with 200 units heparin. 4 mice of each group were killed at 2 h, 6 h and 18 h after infusion. The relative radioactivity (CPM) in lung and liver was detected.


RESULTS
3H-activity per gram in lung of heparin group was lower than control at the same time. There was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.001). There was no difference between the two groups in liver (P > 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
The results of this study suggest that the highly lung metastasis characteristic of ACC-M may be partially inhabited by the use of intraperitoneal heparin.
