Title: CYTOCHEMISTRY OF DELAYED RADIONECROSIS OF THE MURINE SPINAL CORD

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4619229

The temporal development of delayed radionecrosis of the murine spinal cord was studied by cytochemical techniques. It was shown that the necrosis is preceded by a significant rise in the mitotic activity of interstitial cells, together with marked alterations in the levels of enzyme activity. Some indication of increasing turnover of RNA was obtained, and these findings lend themselves to a hypothesis attributing delayed radionecrosis to a molecular disorganization of cellular constituents.
