The Effect of Plutonium on Tissue Metabolism of Rats

Description: When plutonium is introduced into the body either by injection or by intratracheal instillation, there are, in addition to the usual signs of damage to the lymphoid tissues, definite alterations in the metabolism of tissues.

Acute Radiotoxicity of (Ha-La)140 for Rats and Mice. Part III. Effects of Height and Food Intake of Animals Treated with (Ha-La)140

Description: In the (Ha-La)140 experiments mice and rats were injected intraperitonially with toxic doses of radiobarium. The weight curves indicate that there was definite retardation of growth in mice and 2.25 uc/g and in rats at 1.98 uc/g.

The Production of Radioactive Xenon for Animal Exposures

Description: Large amounts of Xe133 were needed to study the biological effects resulting from inhalation of radioactive gases. This paper deals with the problems of collecting and concentrating Xe133 and with the problems of separating it from the uranium matrix after fission

The Excretion, Retention, Distribution, and Clinical Effects of Strontium 89 in the Dog. Part I. Report of Experimental Work

Description: In adult dog, the 30 day LD 50 for intramuscularly injected Sr 89 (with some Dr 90 contamination) was approximately 1.0 uc/g injected dose or 0.5 uc/g retained dose at 10 days, corrected for excretion and decay.

The Biological Behavior of Organic Compounds Containing Radiophosphorus

Description: The study was undertaken with the objective of observing the distribution in the rat of organic compounds of phosphorus labelled with the P32 isotope as tracer. The fate of several of these compounds was studied in animals bearing tumors. The distribution of inorganic phosphate in animal tissues is well known but was included in this work for comparison with the organic phosphorus compounds.

The Maintenance of Animals Containing Radioactive Materials

Description: Abstract: In the Biology Division, the maintenance of animals containing radioactive materials posed many problems. In addition to routine care of the animals, protection had to be provided for the personnel who worked with the contaminated animals. Frequent air changed in the room in which the animals were caged were necessary: farm workers were required to wear masks; animal cages were checked regularly for radiation; acid was used on the sawdust in the excrete pens; and a new, more efficient… more

Experimental Usefulness of the Kangaroo Rat

Description: Abstract. The kangaroo rat is readily tamed and has certain characteristics that make it unique and of interest in highly specialized research programs. Studies were conducted on its ability to exist on a dried diet with only a bare minimum of water and that obtained from succulent plants. Hematological studies indicate that the kangaroo rat exhibits a different hematological distribution of cells than the mouse or rat. The lymphocyte constitutes 81.4% of the total leuokocytes. The hematocrit h… more

A Comparative Study of Hanford and Utah Range Sheep

Description: Observations on sheep representing flocks in Utah adjacent to the Nevada Proving Ground were compared with findings made on experimental sheep exposed to various amounts of radioiodine. The Utah sheep showed no evidence of the radiation damage observed in experimentally treated sheep. Estimations of amounts of radioiodine on vegetation required to cause serious thyroid damage following a contamination event are included.

Relative Effectiveness of Various Agents for Preventing the Internal Deposition of Plutonium in the Rat

Description: The prompt administration of zirconium citrate was at least twice as effective as the prompt administration of calcium disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (CaEDTA) in preventing deposition of plutonium in the skeleton. On the other hand, CaEDTA was twice as effective as zirconium citrate in preventing the deposition of plutonium in soft tissues. The combined administration of zirconium citrate and CaEDTA was the most effective treatment for preventing the deposition of plutonium … more

Inhomogeneity of Dose Distribution in Animals Subjected to Whole Body Irradiation with 250 Kv X-Rays

Description: Even though bi-lateral or more complicated exposure procedures are of considerable importance in "total-body" exposure of large animals or man, these measures may not result in even approximately the same dose to different tissues. Because of body contour, depth-dose patterns determined in a rice-and-wax phantom contoured to the shape of a dog were appreciably different from the calculated values based on published standard depth-dose tables (400 cm² portal: other factors being approximately eq… more

The Clinical Physiology of Dogs Exposed to Single Total-Body Doses of X-Rays

Description: A rational approach to therapy for irradiation damage must be based upon knowledge of the nature of the damage. This study of clinical physiology of dogs exposed to singe doses of total body X-radiation was undertaken to provide such a basis for therapy and to provide a basis for descriptions of the effects of specific project hazards.
