Abstract
The object of this study was to determine the radiation effect on the urinary bladder and to establish the basic data for optimal fraction schedule on the whole abdominal irradiation of the mice. Although radiation damage of the urinary bladder is one of the dose-limiting factor for treatment of lower abdominal cancer, such as uterine cervical or rectal cancer, systematic histopathological study of total dose and recovery duration is very rare, especially in conventional fractionation regimen of clinical use. Authors used 198 mice and analyzed histopathological findings according to total dose(40 & 50GY) and recovery duration(1-15 weeks after completion of irradiation). The results were summarized as follows : 1. No definite difference of radiosensitivity was noted between male and female group. 2. Most of mucosal injuries were recovered within 14 weeks in 40 GY irradiated group. 3. Vascular injury and change of connective tissue were prominent and persisted even mild degree until 15 weeks after completion of irradiation in 50 GY irradiated group. 4. Although follow up duration of this study(105 days) was not enough to compare life span of mice, this study emphasized that precious schedule for treatment planning was necessary for preventing or reducing of later complication.
방사선 조사후 방광의 손상에 관한 실험에서 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 손상군, 회복군 모두에서 암수가 비슷한 변화를 보여 방사선에 의한 손상에서 암수의 차이는 없었다. 2. 점막의 변화는 40GY 조사군에서 50GY군 보다 빨리 회복됨이 관찰되었고 14주에서 대부분 소실되었다. 3. 혈관의 변화는 40GY, 50GY 모두에서 혈관확장증, 초자질화, 내피하층과 중간층의 섬유화 등이 관찰되었으며 혈관주변의 섬유화는 15주까지 관찰되었다. 결체조직과 균육층의 변화는 40GY, 50GY 모두에서 조사후 15주까지 지속됨을 볼 수 있었다. 마우스의 평균수명(460일-1000일)에 비해 본 연구의 추적 기간이 105일로서 충분히 길다고는 할 수 없으나 상기 여러 결과로 미루어 후기 반응의 감소 및 예방을 위해 세심한 조사 계획이 있어야 함을 시사하였다.
