Since radioactive substances are widely used in various field. There are increased chances of exposure to accidental irradiation.
Various physical changes in human-being after accidental exposure to irradiation are extensively studied, but there are. few available informations upon stored blood exposed to irradiation.
It is an interesting matter to know what changes are manifested in irradiated stored blood. .
Author studided erythrocyte,.leucocyte, platelet count and hematocrit determination in irradiated stored blood exposed, to 500r.l000rI2500r, and 5000r with Cobaltso.
The, analyses of the bloods are made in lst(24 hours), 7th, 14th and. 21st day -after-irradiation, and results obtained are as follows:
1. By duration of storage, erythrocyte count of none radiated stored blood(control blood) showed, a slight. .decrease, whereas irradiated bloods showed slightly lower count than that of control blood.
The decreasing ratio oft control to irradiated bloods in 1st, 7th, 14th, and 21st day manifes roughly same ratio. There .are, no -significant differences of erythrocyte count according to dosage of radiation´s
2. Leucocyte count of the control blood showed gradually and moderately decreasing number with-duration of storage. There are no significant-differences of count in irradiated blood and, control blood. and, also, no significant difference of count by dosage. or irradiation.
3. Platelet count: of A e control blood showed marked decrease by ? duration´, of storage and in irradiated ;blood, .but there are no noticeable differences of count by dosage´ of irradiation.
4. There are no noticeable differences of hematocrit in control groups and also, alteration of hematocrit in´ irradiated blood group.
