    X-rays severely damaged lymphoid organs in thyroidectomized rats, causing bone marrow aplasia and premature death. These radiation effects mimicked long-term aging, but without collagen fiber changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiation biology
    • Immunology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Thyroidectomy using methylthiouracil impacts animal physiology.
    • X-irradiation is known to affect lymphoid organs.
    • Understanding radiation effects on immune system is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of X-rays on peripheral lymphoid organs in chemically thyroidectomized rats.
    • To compare short-term radiation effects with long-term aging effects on lymphoid tissues.

    Main Methods:

    • Male adult Wistar rats were chemically thyroidectomized using methylthiouracil.
    • Animals were subjected to X-irradiation.
    • Lymphoid organs (spleen, lymph nodes) and bone marrow were examined.

    Main Results:

    • Spontaneous death occurred 9 days post-irradiation due to hematogenous bone marrow hypoplasia (aplasia).
    • Spleen and lymph node changes included lymphoid tissue depletion and reticulofibrosis.
    • These changes resembled those seen 6-8 months after irradiation.

    Conclusions:

    • X-irradiation accelerates aging-like changes in lymphoid organs of thyroidectomized rats.
    • The observed effects, particularly bone marrow failure, indicate severe acute radiation toxicity.
    • Absence of macromolecular hyperstability in fibers suggests a distinct mechanism compared to natural aging.
