Computer dosimetry based on pelvic simulation.

Abstract

A technique is described which shows a good correlation between computer dose rates based on a simulated pelvic irradiation system and dose rates measured in patients using a probe monitor. With radiation sources in position, the system described permits a rapid check of computer dosimetry output in a clinical situation. As a dual dose monitor system greater confidence in the accuracy of implant dose distribution is possible.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
