EFFECT OF RADIATIONS ON EHRLICH ASCITES CARCINOMA IN CONNEXION WITH THE PROBLEMS OF PROTECTION. I. CELLULAR CHARACTER OF THE ACTION OF PROTECTIVE SUBSTANCE
Results are reported from a study of the protective action of chemical substances on survival rate of mice exposed to various doses of radiation and the development of ascites carcinoma as a function of radiation dose. It was concluded that the protective action of the various chemical substances tested, including the narcotics, is achieved through direct protection of the irradiated cells, The high efficacy of the protective action of beta - aminoethylisothiuronium bromide hydrobromide during wholebody irradiation and the fact that there is no protective effect on cancer cells (Ehrlich ascites carcinoma) may be of great interest with a view to use of this preparation in the x-ray therapy of patients with cancer.
