  • Title: Some effects of radiation on the healing of transected mouse ear.
    Author: Franklin A, Coultas P.
    Journal: Radiat Res; 1984 Oct; 100(1):55-64. PubMed ID: 6494432.
    Abstract:
    Both histological assessments and measurements of epidermal and dermal components are used to describe some effects of radiation on wound healing in mouse ear. A pattern of early wound closure followed by wound reopening was seen after doses of about 20 Gy and above. After 10 Gy X rays wound closure was comparable with that in unirradiated wounds but the nature of the tissue repair was different. The results suggested that the severity of radiation damage to epidermis is relatively unaffected by wounding but that the time course of expression of the radiation damage is appreciably accelerated. The observations are discussed in terms of their clinical relevance and of current radiobiological hypotheses.
