LATE CHANGES IN THE OSSEOUS SYSTEM OF DOGS IN RADIOACTIVE STRONTIUM AFFECTION,
Abstract
In dogs during the latter stages of Sr90 affec tion, profound changes of the osseous system develop. The basic pathological processes should be considered the dystrophic changes and the im pairment of osteogenesis and normal reorganiza tion of osseous tissue. The most important and characteristic feature of skeletal changes is the impairment of the processes of osteogenesis. The changes in the processes of osteogenesis should be regarded primarily as disturbances in regener ation of the bone. The impairment of the reor ganization (resorption and new growth) osseous tissue is manifested in the altered rhythm of bone reorganization and in the impairment of normal correlations between the processes of re sorption and apposition of the bone. In their characteristics these changes of the osseous sys tem in Sr90 affection are most closely analogous to diseases of the osseous system such as: de forming ostosis (Paget's disease), fibrous osteodysplasia, and parathyroid osteodystrophy.
