EFFECT OF INTERNAL IRRADIATION OF $beta$-EMITTERS (P$sup 32$, Sr$sup 89$, Ce$sup 144$) ON THE DIGESTIVE ORGANS OF MICE. (English Text)
Slight morphological changes were seen in the digestive organs after the intravenous injection of 2.0 mu c/g of P/sup 32/. When injections of 0.5 mu c/ g of P/sup 32/ were made for 10 times, the changes were more appreciable and consisted mainly of atrophy of the mucous membrane. The administration of Sr/sup 89/ in a dose of 0.3 mu c/g for 10 times produced a generally milder effect than that of P/sup 32/. Histological changes were more striking after transperitoneal administration than after intravenous injection. This may be due to the fact that radioactive substances deposited in the serous membranes give relatively large doses of radiation to the intestine. On the other hand Ce/sup 144/ gave considerable and relatively prolonged changes, (Abstr. Japan Med., 2, No. 9, Jan. 1962).
