ON THE MECHANISM OF INJURY OF FETUSES IN GRAVID ANIMALS WITH RADIATION SICKNESS (in Russian)
An assessment is made of the importance of the maternal organism in the mechanism of injury of the fetus during x-ray irradiation of gravid animals. A confrontation of the severity of radiation sickness in pregnant rats with the severity of injury of the fetuses divulged that in irradiation during the period before implantation in the mechanism of fetus injury of great importance are changes occurring in the irradiated organism of the mother; irradiation at the time of completed placentation produces a lesser deleterious effect on the state of the fetus than in earlier periods of gestation. Disturbance of lactation and of the maternal instinct in the animals subjected to the action of ionizing radiation is one of the causes of postnatal death of the progeny of the irradiated rats.
