Abstract

The combined action of two factors on organisms can be either antagonistic, non-effective, additive or synergistic. Although synergism is of biological importance, the common features of synergistic interaction between harmful environmental factors are largely unknown. The purpose of this study is to establish general rules describing the response of various organisms to the combined action of heat with another inactivating agent. Synergistic interaction due to the simultaneous treatment of hyperthermia with ionizing or non-ionizing radiation has been analyzed using the experimental data mainly obtained with yeast cells. In addition, the results reported by others for viruses, bacterial spores, cultured mammalian cells, plants and animals were also analyzed to check the regularities revealed. The common rules of the synergistic interaction obtained in this study can be summarized as follows. For any constant rate of exposure, the synergy can be observed only within a certain temperature range. An increase in exposure rate resulted in an increase of this specific temperature and vice versa. For a constant temperature at which the irradiation occurs, synergy can be observed within a certain dose rate range. As the exposure temperature is reduced, the optimal intensity decreases and vice versa. A new conception taken into consideration those regularities can make a clue for environmental disaster preventive analysis of the synergy of radiation with the other factor.

두 가지 유해인자가 동시에 작용할 때 생물체에 나타나는 영향은 길항작용에서 상승작용에 이르기까지 폭넓게 나타난다. 상승작용의 생물학적 중요성에도 불구하고 유해인자간의 복합작용을 설명할 수 있는 구체적 연구결과들은 별로 없는 실정이다. 본 연구는 고온과 기타 환경 유해인자의 복합작용에 의해 생물체에 나타내는 반응에 있어서의 규칙성을 도출해 내기 위하여 수행되었다. 고온과 이온화방사선, 자외선, 초음파 등의 동시작용에 관한 효모세포 실험결과를 분석하였으며 다른 연구자들에 의하여 수행된 바이러스, 세균포자, 동식물세포 및 포유류 배양세포에 관한 실험결과를 이용하여 도출된 규칙성을 검증하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 검증된 상승 작용에 관한 규칙성은 다음과 같이 요약될 수 있다. 방사선량률이 일정할 경우 특정 온도범위 내에서만 상승작용을 관찰할 수 있다. 방사선량률을 증가시키면 최대 상승작용을 나타내는 온도 값도 증가하게 되며, 선량률을 낮추면 온도값도 따라서 낮아지게 된다. 방사선 조사시의 온도가 일정할 경우 특정범위의 선량률에서만 상승작용이 관찰되는데, 이 범위 내에 최대상승작용 유발선량률 값이 존재한다. 방사선 조사시의 온도를 낮추면 선량률의 값 또한 낮아지며 그 역도 마찬가지이다. 본 연구에서 밝혀진 규칙성은 상승작용의 신개념 적립에 실마리를 제공할 것이며 특히 생물체에 대한 유해 환경 요인의 복합영향 해석과 환경재해 예방을 위한 영향평가 및 위해 평가에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다
