The Response of Mouse Tumours to Fractionated Doses of Pions: Determination of Therapeutic Gain Factor
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using the same experimental system which had been used to determine the pion relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for skin of mouse foot by Chaplin et al., we have determined the pion RBE for KHT sarcoma and SCCVII tumour transplanted in the foot of C3H mice. The pion RBE obtained by the tumour growth delay time method in comparison with 250 kVp X-rays at a dose rate of 150 cGy per min was determined to be 1.20, 1.28 and 1.50 with single, 4 and 10 fractions, respectively, for KHT sarcoma. As for SCCVII tumour, it was determined to be 1.17, 1.45 and 2.05 with single, 4 and 10 fractions respectively. Therefore, it has been concluded that pions have various values of RBE depending on the tumour system involved. KHT sarcoma is a tumour which grows very rapidly, on the contrary, SCCVII tumour shows somewhat slower growth characteristics. These differences of RBE between these two tumour systems possibly stem from differences in the amount of hypoxic cells and/or their rates of reoxygenation. As for therapeutic gain factor, a maximum value of 1.45 was obtained with 10 fractions using the SCCVII tumour. Pions seem to be most effective (in multiple fractions) against tumours of relatively slow growth.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
