Important results were shown as cell survival points in the two panels of the figure which is reproduced in this Comment letter. A curve was fitted assuming the mono-exponential recovery half-time of 17 ± 21 minutes. The wide error limits indicate that this fit is not very good, but the notable feature of both panels is that the last four points are clearly continuing to rise, above the "fitted" curve. This indicates that there is a second, slower, component of repair or recovery and this Comment explores constructively the implications of that additional discovery.
图中两个面板显示了重要的结果，以细胞存活率表示。该图在本评论信中重现。曲线拟合假设单指数恢复半衰期为 17 ± 21 分钟。宽误差范围表明这种拟合不是很好，但两个面板的显著特征是最后四点显然仍在继续上升，高于“拟合”曲线。这表明存在第二个较慢的修复或恢复成分，本评论建设性地探讨了这一额外发现的意义。
