The aim of this study was to clear any specific LETs cause change in skin reaction.  We irradiated mice feet with mono-energetic and SOBP carbon ions, to obtain dose response of early skin reaction at different LETs.
Materials and methods 
Mice
C3H/HeMsNrsf female mice aged 4 months old were used for this study. The animals were produced and maintained in specific pathogen-free (SPF) facilities. 
Irradiation 
The mice right hind legs received daily fractionated irradiation ranged from single to 6 fractions.  Carbon ions (12C6+) were accelerated by the HIMAC synchrotron to 290 MeV/u. Irradiation was conducted using horizontal carbon-ion beams with a dose rate of ~3 Gy/min. We chose the LETs at entrance of plateau (20keV/μm) and the SOBP (proximal:40keV/μm, middle:45keV/μm, distal:60keV/μm, distal-end:80keV/μm). The reference beam was 137Cs γ-rays with a dose rate of 1.2 Gy/min. 
Skin reaction
Skin reaction of the irradiated legs were scored every other day, between the14th and 35th post irradiation days. Our scoring scale consisted of 7 steps, ranging from 0.5 to 3.5.(1) The skin score analyzed a result by the method that  described by Ando.(2) The Fe-plot proposed Douglas and Fowler was used as a multifraction linear quadratic model. A plot between the reciprocal of the isoeffect dose and the dose per fraction resulted in a straight line. 
Results 
Required isoeffect total dose increased linearly with the fraction numbers on a semi-logarithmic chart at LET 20- 60keV/µm SOBP beam. The isoeffect total dose decreased with increase of the LET. However, no increases of isoeffect total dose were observed at few fractionations at 80keV/µm. (data not shown) Using an Fe-plot, we analyzed the isoeffect total dose to evaluate the dependence on Carbon beam, or γ-ray. When I irradiate it by γ-ray, an Fe-plot shows linearly. But, irradiated by Carbon beam, an Fe-plot bent at low fractions. (Fig.1)
Conclusion
The LQ-model based Fe-plot could not fit skin reaction at few fractions at high-LET.},
