Abstract

The authors present a new method for the interstitial therapy working with an Ir-192 source which is displaced step by step. After having been fed with the tumor parameters, the computer calculates for every stopping point the duration of stay of the source which provides a threedimensional optimization. The practical application of the method is discussed and the optimization procedure is compared with other similar methods.

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.
