FEATURES PARTICULAR TO THE COURSE OF MYOCARDIAL LESIONS IN RADIATION SICKNESS UNDER CONDITIONS INVOLVING BK-8 BLOOD AND POLYGLUCIN TRANSFUSION (in Russian)
The effect produced by the transfusion of blood and of some of its substitutes upon the functional and morphological cardiac changes in experimentally-induced radiation sickness was studied. With repeated blood and polyglucin transfusions, initiated during the latent period of the radiation sickness, when cardiac changes are predominantly of a functional character, histological investigations revealed diminishing permeability of cardiac vessel walls, with no signs of acute myocarditis making their appearance. Histochemical examination discovered the presence of large amounts of glycogen in some myocardial areas with no dystrophic and inflammatory changes. Repeated transfusions also resulted in the reduced permeability of vascular walls, this being paralleled by a gradual disappearance of signs pointing to acute myocarditis. In a series of observations proliferation of connective-tissue cells was ascertained histologically, together with dystrophy and fragmentation of muscular fibers. The glycogen distribution in muscular fibers proved to be unequal. (auth)
