In experiments on white rats the early changes developing in the animal organism as a result of the action of gamma rays in doses of 100 r and lower were studied. The determination of changes, caused by doses of penetrating radiation, were carried out (at 3, 6, and 24 hours after the irradiation) for comparison by two methods: 1) study of the peripheral blood (determination of all leukocyte count and of the leukocytic formula); and 2) luminescent microscopy of the bone marrow. These investigations show that the method of luminescent microscopy of bone marrow has definite advantages over the other method in the assessment of early radiation reactions, developing from the action of low doses of gamma rays. The superiority of this method is especially obvious in combined action (injury plus irradiation), when the wound obscures the radiation reactions of the peripheral blood. The high sensitivity and objectiveness of this method gives wide perspectives of its use in experimental practice. (auth)
