Thioridazine Sensitizes Esophageal Carcinoma Cell Lines to Radiotherapy-Induced Apoptosis In Vitro and In Vivo
Combined treatment with thioridazine and irradiation significantly reduced viability of ESCC cells compared with thioridazine or irradiation treatment alone. Thioridazine and irradiation treatment induced G0/G1 phases cell cycle arrest through down-regulation of CDK4 and cyclinD1. In addition,...
Short Communication: Nanoparticle Thermotherapy and External Beam Radiation Therapy for Human Prostate Cancer Cells
Abstract: Nanoparticle thermotherapy (NPTT) uses monoclonal antibody-linked iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (bioprobes) for the tumor-specific thermotherapy of cancer by hysteretic heating of the magnetic component of the probes through an externally applied alternating magnetic field (AMF). The...
Using Nanodot Dosimetry to Study the RS 2000 X-Ray Biological Irradiator
AbstractPurpose: To use NanoDot dosimeters to study the RS 2000 X-ray Biological Irradiator dosimetry characteristics and perform in vivo dosimetry for cell or small animal experiments. Methods and materials: We first calibrated the Landauer NanoDot™ Reader by irradiating some NanoDot dosimeters...
