THE RECEPTIVE CAPACITY OF IRRADIATED AREAS OF THE BODY IN EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS (in Russian)

The investigations were conducted on rabbits by subjecting one of the extremities to the action of x rays (500 to 5,000 r). Immediately after the irradiation changes in the reaction of the great hemispheres of the brain (the method of electroencephalography) to tactile irritation of the irradiated region were observed. This testifies to the presence of changes in the peripheral receptors of regions of the organism directly subjected to the action of the radiation factor. The change of motor chronaxia of the irradiated as well as the nonirradiated contralateral extremity (experiments on rabbits) is also illustrative of changes of subordination (central) influences on the periphery. Local irradiation of a rabbit's extremity (5.000 r) provoked the development of an ulcerous affection not only on the irradiated extremity. but on the symmetrical area of the nonirradiated contralateral extremity as well. The development of the affection according to a segmentary type apparently testifies to the fact that a nervous mechanism lies at the basis of the process. In 2 cases out of 10 there was observed a consecutive development of ulcers on all 4 extremities (only one of them was irradiated). (auth)
