Περίληψη: Objective.This study extends a DNA damage simulation package to incorporate a biphasic spatiotemporal non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair framework. The aim is to predict radiation induced chromosome aberrations for various beam qualities and dose rates from an independent parameter set.Approach.A biphasic NHEJ kinetic model, characterized by fast and slow components with experimentally constrained repair rate constants (λf= 2.48 h-1andλs= 0.408 h-1) and slow portion (ηDSB= 19%), was coupled to a DNA end diffusion process (D= 0.1 μm2h-1). DNA damage data from Monte Carlo-based biophysical program was used as input, while different types of chromosome aberrations were generated as output. The extended framework was benchmarked against chromosome aberration measurements in human fibroblasts under acuteγ-rays,αparticles, and chronic low dose-rateγ-ray irradiations. All parameters were obtained from independent measurements without fitting to chromosome aberration data. Model performance was evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R2).Main Results.For acuteγ-rays andαparticles, the proposed model reproduced the dose-response curves of dicentrics and interstitial deletions with reasonable accuracy, while larger deviations were observed for rings and terminal deletions. The corresponding total-aberrationR2were 0.973 and 0.947. Notably, the inclusion of spatiotemporal repair dynamics substantially improved agreement of rings and terminal deletions forα-particles compared to a pure distance-dependent model. Simulations of chronicγ-ray irradiations reproduced total aberration yields at 6.3 cGy h-1withR2= 0.968, while the 2.8 cGy h-1case exhibited notable deviation withR2= - 0.517. Sensitivity analyses suggested model stability and robustness with all sensitivity coefficients remaining below 1.3.Significance.By integrating spatial diffusion and biphasic repair kinetics, the proposed model provides a quantitative link between microdosimetric energy deposition and macroscopic chromosome aberrations. The approach offers a foundation for mechanistic modeling of relative biological effectiveness in particle therapy.
