Tikhonov, K B

The author chns carried out a roentgenological study of the blood vessels of the pelvis, extremities, and abdominal internal organs on 21 dogs and 26 rabbits. The majority of experiments on dogs were performed under general anesthesia. In the study of extremities the contrast media were injected into the femoral artery by the retrograde method. The vessels of internal organs were filled with contrast medium by translumbar puncture of abdominal aorta (in dogs), or by injection into the pulmonary circulation (in rabbits). The angiograms were taken with the aid of a special apparatus designed by the author. Considerable increase of permeability of the blood vessels for contrast media was noted during the acute stage of radiation sickness. During that period the lumen of the arteries of extremities and pelvis was found to be greatiy constrlcted, while taat of the main arteries of abdominal cavity was, on the contrary, dilated. This diiatation was most pronounced in rabbits. (tr-auth)
