;
An attempt was made to influence the course of acute radiation sickness by multifold formation of tissue decomposition products in the skin following injections of distilled water before and after irradiation. The experiments were performed on 42 dogs irradiated with a lethal dose of gamma-rays. It was found possible to attain, in healthy dogs, a rise of body sensitivity to products of tissue decomposition after repeated injections into the shin of 0.5 ml of sterile distilled water, provided the number and sites of injections were observed. This change did not exert an essential influence on the course of acute radiation sickness during the subsequent irradiation of these dogs. It was found that injections of distilled water, after the irradiation, may aggravate the course of radiation sickness and reduce the life span of the animals by 2 to 3 times if they were effected into the zones of elevated allergic sensitivity of the organism, such as the skin of the upper lip. Injections of distilled water into the skin of the abdomen did not exert such an action. (auth)
