We studied the sensitivity against heavy ion beam and hyperthermia on radioresistant procaryote, Deinococcus radiodurans, for the purpose of cancer therapy. First, we examined the decrease of the survival rate and molecular weight of DNA purified from this cell by acid heat treatment. These decreases were recognized by heating at 55 degrees C below pH 5.0. Then, we assumed that the decrease in survival of D. radiodurans in vivo and damage to its DNA in vitro by acid heating were due to the release of purine rings from the phosphodiester backbone of DNA molecules, i.e., depurination. Second, we investigated the relation between LET (linear energy transfer) and RBE (relative biological effectiveness) on D. radiodurans dry and wet cells using AVF cyclotron at the TIARA facility of JAERI-Takasaki, Japan. These cells were irradiated with carbon (12C5+) ion beam at LET of about 100 keV/microm, neon (20Ne8+) ion beam at LET of about 300 keV/microm and oxygen (16O6+) ion beam at LET of about 400 keV/microm. The peak in the figure of the relation between LET and RBE value was found to increase according to the increase of LET value from 100 keV/microm. Third, we conducted combination treatment with 4.8 kGy of alpha-particles, i.e., boron 10 neutron captured beam induced by Kyoto University Research Nuclear Reactor operated at 5 MW, and hyperthermia at 52 degrees C, which caused the synergistic killing effect on D. radiodurans wet cells. However, being dissimilar to the case of gamma-irradiation, the interval incubation at 30 degrees C in the medium between both treatments could inhibit the recovery of survival.

Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality (rank 3) and thus a mass disease. Therefore, immediate access for everybody to stroke treatment services is indispensible. Therapeutic efficacy has been shown for lysis therapy and early rehabilitation in stroke units, respectively. The British-Scandinavian stroke unit concept focusses on immediately starting rehabilitation over 4-6 weeks by a specifically trained and motivated team. Since 1995, so-called stroke units are established in Germany adhering to a specific concept of the German Society for Neurology (DGN). Although referring to the British-Scandinavian concept in terms of efficacy the German concept differs fundamentally by focussing on monitoring as well as lysis therapy and neuroprotection in a short (3-5 days) stay. This is an intensive care unit approach for which scientific evidence is lacking. More essential are reasonable doubts that this concept can ever expand sufficiently to ensure comprehensive care. At least presently, stroke care is provided unevenly, thus contravening legislation (section 70 Social Security Act Vol. V). Acknowledging the restrictions the DGN adapted its concept, now advocating a two-step model comprising intensive care stroke units plus rehabilitative stroke units.
