Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Macaca mulatta monkeys were exposed to prompt neutron and gamma radiation from two nuclear detonations. At a period roughly two years postirradiation, the survivors were examined with respect to long-term effects on clinical appearance, peripheral hematology, behavior, and cataractogenesis. Recovery of erythroid indices in shot Wilson survivors was (1) functionally complete by about 9 weeks postexposure, (2) effected by production of larger hyperchromic erythrocytes with a normal hemoglobin concentration, and (3) followed by a possible macrocytic hyperchromic anemia for the majority of the 63- to 540day postexposure period. Lymphocytes of the myeloid series were the last to evidence recovery; the single animal that died exhibited a unique lymphocytic hypoplasia, which suggests a differential effect on the precursor tissue. The results with respect to behavior parameters include (1) differences on preliminary Wisconsin General Test Apparatus training which support the hypothesis of a radiation-induced elevation of response threshold values, (2) learning-performance differences in the male radiation dosage groups which are in accord with previous researches on other groups of monkeys, (3) observed differences between male and female monkeys on both learning performance and free-cage behavior parameters, and (4) a radiation-induced facilitation on difficult size discrimination problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Macaca mulatta monkeys were exposed to neutron and gamma radiation as one phase of an extensive animal program designed to yield a better under standing of the biological effects of ionizing radiation. Exposure distances were chosen on the basis of dose vs. distance data obtained during Operation Teapot and on the desired biological responses. In both shots in which Project 39.6 participated, the radiation dose required to produce death in 30 days in 50 per cent of the animals was determined. All animals were followed for acute radiation effects, and, where no mortality occurred, they are being followed for long-term effects such as cataract production, bone-marrow change, shortening of life span, and carcinogenesis. Ultimately the long-term findings will be compared with known human data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepubertal Macaca mulatta monkeys were exposed to acute and fractionated doses of gamma or neutron radiation or to both. Testicular tissues were examined 3 to 8 years later for the presence and severity of permanent lesions. The Macaca mulatta monkey is more sensitive to the permanently damaging effects of ionizing radiation than are the common small laboratory animals and may be comparable to man. Lesions were demonstrated in animals exposed to as little as 154 rep of gamma radiation and a threshold of 57 rep was estimated. The relative biologic effectiveness for neutrons could not be determined, but it is probably less than 2. The degree of testicular damage is relatively independent of dose rate and fractionation but is dependent primarily on the cumulative dose administered. (Author).
