Since radicactive substances are widely used in various field. There are increased chances 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 manifasted in irradiated stored blood.
Author studied erythrocyte, leucocyte, platelst count and hematocrit determdnation in irradiated stored blood exposed to 500r, 1000r, 2500r, and 5000r with cobalt.
The analyses of the bloods are made in 1st(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 of control to irradiated bloods in 1st, 7th, 14th and 21st day manifest roughly same ratio. There are no significant differences of erythrocyte count acoording to domage of radiation.
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 of irradiation.
3. Platelet count of the 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.
