Aim To investigate the differential expression of apoptosis-associated genes in human gastric cancer MGC803 cells induced by diallyl trisulfide(DATS).Methods Growth inhibition against MGC803 cells was assayed by MTT assay;The apoptosis induced by DATS was assessed by Flow cytometry and fluorescent microscope.The apoptosis-associated gene expression of MGC803 cell treated with DATS was determided by Human Apoptosis Gene Array.Apaf-1 and SODD genes were confirmed by RT-PCR.Results DATS had significant growth inhibitory activity against MGC803 cells,inhibition ratio increased from 11% to 78% at 4,8,12,16 and 24 mg?L-1 for 72 h(P

Objective: To report an implementation method and results of an independent brachytherapy dose verification software (DVS). Methods: The DVS was developed based on Visual C+ + and the modular structure design was adopted. The DICOM RT files exported from the treatment planning system (TPS) were automatically loaded into the DVS. The TG-43 formalism was employed for dose calculation. Six cervical cancer patients who underwent brachytherapy were retrospectively selected to test the DVS. Different applicators were utilized for each patient. Dosimetric parameters and γ analysis (0.1cm, 5%) were used to evaluate the dose difference between the DVS and the TPS. Results: Compared with the TPS dose, the γ pass rates of the doses calculated by the DVS were higher than 98%. For CTV, the dosimetric differences were less than 0.29% and 0.53% for D_100% and D_90%. For bladder, rectum and sigmoid, the agreement of D_0.1cm³, D_1cm³ and D_2cm³ within a 0.5% level. Conclusion With minimal human-computer interactions, the DVS can verify the accuracy of dose calculated by TPS for brachytherapy.
