The effect of beta -irradiation on the ciliary movements of the ciliated epithelial cells of humans and rabbits in irrigation culture was observed microcinematographically. In irrigation cultures at 37 deg C, the ciliated epithelial cells of the human maxiallary sinus showed the to-and-fro movement 7.8 times per sec on the average. After irradiations at 50 to 100 r on the ciliated epithelial cells of the human maxillary sinus, the ciliary movement was observed to become a little less active. The ciliated epithelial tissue in the maxillary sinus of the rabbit also showed to-and-fro movement. Immediately after irradiations ranging from 700 to 1400 r. the rate of ciliary movement decreased appreciably. No morphological changes were observed. After irradiation by 2800 r the ciliary movement clearly decreased. and it ceased completely about 4 hr after irradiation. Degeneration and desquamation of the epithelial cells were observed simultaneously. As for the individual differences of rabbit maxiliary sinus, no significant radiosensitivity was observed. (Abstr.
