Abstract
For the purpose to reveal the mechanism of the fatal injuries induced by X-ray the auther observed the biological effects of the compound-phospholipids from the irradiated animal, which proved to have a powerful hemolytic activity. Intravenous introduction of the phospholipids from the irradiated animal to the normal rabbit induced a severe anemia accom paning a marked leukemoid reaction, the degenerative changes of liver parenchymal cells and the hemorrhage in several organs, which are the main and important pathologic changes seen by the X-ray irradiation.
The findungs suggest that the cytolytic activity of the hemolytic lipids formed by X-ray irradiation is largely concerned to the tissue injuries seen after the irradiation.
