The state of the peripheral nervous system in dogs was studied at various periods following intravenous introduction of 0.005 mu C/gm of Po/sup 210/ (chronic radiation sickness with death of the animals on the 6 to 7th month). The investigations disclosed that in all the nerve formations studied, there developed gradually progressing changes, manifested destructively at the peak of the disease, in the sympathetic extramural ganglia. They testify to lesions of the afferent, as well as efferent paths of the reflex arch. The noted peculiarities of changes of the peripheral nervous system apparently found their reflection in the general manifestations of the disease, having the nature of dystrophic lesions. (auth)
