Description

This paper reports that increased alveolar surfactant level can be detected early in mice of 739 strain and Wistar rats after X-irradiation of the lungs in vivo and in vitro, which is dose dependent between 8-17 Gy. Chinese traditional medicine 764-1 can reduce the increased surfactant level. These results suggest that irradiation of lung induceds primary injury of type 2 pneumocytes and 764-1 ameliorates this kind of radiation injury
