The interaction between hyperthermia and X irradiation in the expression of injury to skin was investigated in the tail of adult mice. The X-ray treatments when given alone resulted in skin reactions which ranged in severity from "no observable gross injury" to "moist desquamation over most of the tail," the peak reaction occurring at approximately 20 days. When hyperthermia was given alone, the maximal reaction observed was "foci of moist desquamation, accompanied by severe erythema and edema" which, in contrast to the radiation response, peaked 1 to 2 days after treatment. For the combined treatments, hyperthermia at a temperature between 43.0 and 44.5 degrees C for 30 min was given either 3, 6, 9, or 10 days after X irradiation. When the interval was 3 days, there appeared to be no interaction between the treatments. As the interval was lengthened, so that hyperthermia was given 6 or more days after irradiation, i.e., within 7 days of the time of appearance of gross radiation injury, the severity of the observed skin reaction was greater than the individual responses following either treatment given alone. Using a 9-day interval, it could be seen that both the thermal and radiation reactions were enhanced in a dose-dependent manner. The peak times for each reaction were not significantly altered by the additional treatment. The results are discussed with reference to possible modes of interaction between X irradiation and hyperthermia in an in vivo system.
