Preliminary intravenous introduction of the novocain solution in the dose of 0.08 to 0.1 cc per kg of body weight decreases the effect of x-ray and gamma -ray irradiation (LD-50) on the organism of the animal. It is manifested by a less severe course of the radiation sickness, an increased number of surviving animals, a prolongation of life, and a less pronounced reduction in weight. Introduction of the novocain solution following the irradiation has no therapeutic effect on the course of radiation sickness and in certain cases even aggravates it. Leukopenia is less marked in animals with preliminary novocaln administration as compared to control animals. (tr-auth)
