Responses of Yeast Cells to Heat Applied Alone or Combined with Gamma-rays

Abstract: Experiments were carried out to determine the effects of hyperthermia alone or combined with gamma-rays on the survival of yeast cells of different species. Arrhenius plots for the heat inactivation of yeast cells show inflection points. This suggests that hyperthermic killing above or below these temperatures is mediated by different mechanisms. The synergism between hyperthermia and ionizing radiation was almost linearly dependent on temperature as shown by Arrhenius plots for the combined action of both mod… Show more

“…In some cases, for practical and theoretical reasons, it is of great importance to provide information concerning the interaction. In this paper, to calculate the synergistic e ect, one used the synergistic enhancement ratio (k) de®ned as the ratio of the exposure time expected for an independent e ect of both modalities to that observed from the experimental survival curve for the simultaneous action of hyperthermia and another inactivating factor 15 . In this paper, this parameter was calculated at 10% survival, kˆt 3 =t 4 for sigmoidal survival curves (®gures 1(a±c)).…”

“…Into test tubes with sterile water (4.0 mL) preheated until the studied tem perature, there was added 0.5 mL of the chemical agent (for combination with hyperthermia) or 0.5 mL of distilled water (for action of hyperthermia alone) or To evaluate the synergic effect, we used coefficient of synergic enhancement k (Petin, 1977;Petin, Berd nikova, 1979, 1981 determined by the ratio of dura tion of action on theoretical curve of survival expected at independent addition of effects of the both agents (t 1 ) to the corresponding duration of effect estimated from the experimental curve of survival after the com bined action (t 2 ).…”
