THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OXYGEN TENSION OF INHALED GAS AND THE SEVERITY OF ACUTE RADIATION PNEUMONITIS
Lung compliance is decreased by radiations. The change is less severe if the animal is irradiated at high O/sub 2/ tensions. It was also found that the adrenals were heavier in the high O/sub 2/ group than in the low O/sub 2/ group. It is suggested that the severe skin and marrow reaction produced in the high O/sub 2/ group results in adrenal hyperplasia with the increased production of endogenous cortisone and the subsequent suppression of compliance changes.
