摘 要: | This paper describes the results observed on 850 male Wistar rats for two years after intraperitoneal injection with ~(131)I, ~(132)I or ~(125)I of different radioactivities. The incidence of thyroid malignant tumor was 45.8% when the dose absorbed by the thyroid gland was 7.8 Gy in the ~(131)I groups, and even tumors of lung and soft tissue, and malfunction of kidney and immune organs could be elicited when the radioiodine was overdosed. Both ~(132)I and ~(125)I have their optimal carcinogenic dose ranges and optimal doses of carcinogenesis. As the dosage decreases to a certain level, a low-limit dose incapable of inducing cancers may be present. ~(131)I induced mainly papillary and mixed type carcinomas, ~(132)I chiefly follicular and undifferentiated type carcinomas, while ~(125)I induced follicular and medullary carcinomas. The paper also discusses cytochemical DNA quantitative assays of different histological types of thyroid gland carcinomas, holding that reference to such data as decreasing serum
