Lung and Heart Injury in a Nonhuman Primate Model of Partial-body Irradiation with Minimal Bone Marrow Sparing: Histopathological Evidence of Lung and Heart Injury.

Male rhesus macaques were subjected to partial-body irradiation at 10, 11, or 12 Gy with 5% bone marrow protection. Animals were euthanized when dictated by prospectively determined clinical parameters or at approximately 180 d following irradiation. Histological sections of lung and heart were stained with hematoxylin and eosin as well as a battery of histochemical and immunohistochemical stains.

Histopathological Features of the Development of Intestine and Mesenteric Lymph Node Injury in a Nonhuman Primate Model of Partial-body Irradiation with Minimal Bone Marrow Sparing.

Male rhesus macaques were subjected to partial-body irradiation at 10, 11, or 12 Gy with 5% bone marrow protection. Animals were euthanized when dictated by prospectively determined clinical parameters or at approximately 180 d following irradiation. Histological sections of jejunum, colon, and mesenteric lymph node were stained with hematoxylin and eosin as well as a battery of histochemical and immunohistochemical stains.

Radiation Nephropathy in a Nonhuman Primate Model of Partial-Body Irradiation With Minimal Bone Marrow Sparing-Part 2: Histopathology, Mediators, and Mechanisms.

Male rhesus macaques were subjected to partial-body irradiation at 10, 11, or 12 Gy with 5% bone marrow protection. Animals were euthanized when dictated by prospectively determined clinical parameters or at approximately 180 d following irradiation. Histological sections of kidney were stained with hematoxylin and eosin as well as a battery of histochemical and immunohistochemical stains.
