EFFECT OF IONIZING RADIATION ON THE ACTIVITY OF DIGESTIVE ORGANS IN DOGS
The abdominal regions of six dogs were exposed to 660 r x radiation for 30 min. Five of the dogs died on the 5th, 18th, and 22nd days. The other five were alive after 2 months but in a state of exreme emaciation. Observations were made on digestive processes in the irradiated dogs by means of a Pavlov stomach and surgical fistulas. Disturbances in the secretory activity of the gastric glands fiuctuated in all of the dogs. Hunger periodicity showed shorter rest periods and an intensification of hunger contractions. Determinations were made on the protein and protein fraction content of the blood serum aad digestive juices. The sharpest changes in hemopoiesis were found to coincide with the most striking disturbances in the function of the digestive organs. (C.H.)
