“…The synergistic interaction of UV light and hyperthermia is expected to result in additional damage due to the interaction of some sub-lesions induced by both agents (Petin et al, 2000(Petin et al, , 1997Tyrrell, 1976). Lower temperatures during UV-B radiation will result in a decrease of synergism (Petin et al, 1997), therefore, causing less damage in the cells.…”

“…To interpret the results obtained in this study, a simple mathematical model of the synergistic interaction for lethal effects produced by a simultaneous combined action of UV radiation and hyperthermia (16) may be engaged. The model suggests that the synergistic interaction of UV light and hyperthermia is expected to result from some additional lethal damages arising from the interaction of some sublesions induced by both agents.…”

“…These sublesions are considered ineffective when each agent is taken alone. One of the main conclusions of this model is the dependence of the synergistic effect on the ratio of lethal damages ( N 2 /N 1 ) produced by UV light (N 1 ) and hyperthermia ( N 2 ) applied alone (16). In accordance with the model's consequences, within a definite range of N 2 /N 1 , the synergistic enhancement ratio increases, reaches its highest value and then decreases with the N 2 /N 1 increasing.…”
