Summary

In connection with the favorable effect exerted on radiation injuries by substances capable of stimulating proliferation, including the naphtalane-oil extract (NOE) it was deemed interesting to study the action of the latter in radiation injuries of the skin provoked by α-rays.

As shown experimentally, an acceleration of radiation reaction of epidermis and of its recovery occurred, consequent upon application of NOE to the rabbit's skin directly after its local irradiation with α-rays of thorium fission. Rabbit skin irradiated in 2.5 days and later after NOE application gave practically no radiation reaction, α-irradiation directly or within the first 2 days after NOE application to the skin provoked an accelerated radiation reaction and recovery.
