in diagnostic X-ray procedures.
Parts 6and 7. Chemical protection (a) metabolism of cystamine and (b) the
effectiveness and toxicity of cystamine.

REPORT ON HEALTH PROTECTION IN URANIUM MINING OPERATIONS IN
KATANGA
G/R.119
EFFECT OF A LETHAL DOSE OF RADIATION ON THE AMOUNT OF REDUCING
STEROIDS IN THE BLOOD OF THE RAT
{
Indicates that lethal irradiation shows, in the blood, an increase of reducing
steroids. This reaction presents a maximum which is not necessarily linked to
the variations of the supra ascorbic acid and renal cholesterol.
G/R.120
ACTION OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE ON THE GROWTH OF YOUNG BARLEY
PLANTS
The growth of ocleoptiles of young barley plants treated with hydrogen peroxide
is affected in the same way as when the plants are irradiated with X-rays.
G/R.121
ACTION OF CYSTAMINE AND GLUTATHIONE ON X-RAY IRRADIATED BARLEY
SEED
The cystamine and glutathione diminish the effects of X-rays on barley grains;
mitosis are still possible after doses which would inhibit them in the absence of
these agents.
G/R.122
ACTION OF X-RAYS ON THE GROWTH OF INTERNODAL CELLS OF THE
ALGA CHARA VULGARIS L.
Irradiation of internodal cells of alga Chara Vulgaris L. increases the elongation of these cells for doses up to 150 kr; above this dosage elongation is inhibited.

G/R.155
RECENT RESEARCH ON THE CHEMICAL PROTECTORS AND PARTICULARLY
ON CYSTEAMINE-CYSTAMINE
Discusses the possible mechanisms of action of chemical radioprotectors
particularly of those above-mentioned.
G/R.156
EFFECT OF X-RAYS ON THE GROWTH OF INTERNODAL CELLS OF THE
ALGA CHARA VULGARIS L.
A complicated dose-effect relationship is shown when nondividing internodal
cells are irradiated and their growth tested. c.f. G/R.122.
G/R.158
THE ACTION OF VARIOUS DRUGS ON THE SUPRARENAL RESPONSE OF THE
RAT TO TOTAL BODY X-IRRADIATION
Describes strict difference in action of radioprotectors (cysteamine) or
narcotic drugs (morphine and barbiturate) in preventing adrenal changes of irradiated animals.
G/R.159
NERVOUS CONTROL OF THE REACTION OF ANTERIOR HYPOPHYSIS TO XIRRADIATION AS STUDIED IN GRAFTED AND NEWBORN RATS
Indicates that the changes of suprarenals after irradiation are consequence of
a neuro-humoral chain reaction. The reaction of adrenals seems to have negli-
gible importance in the pathogenesis of radiation disease.
G/R.209
RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT MEASURED AT THE CEN DURING 1955-56 AND 57
Describes methods and results of fallout measurements in the period 1955-57.
