Experimental simulation of radio- and chemoradio stomatitis in rats

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2013 Apr;154(6):814-7. doi: 10.1007/s10517-013-2063-y.

Abstract

Experimental models of stomatitis developing in response to an isolated (radiation) and combined (radiation and chemical) exposure of experimental animals, were created. The severity of radiation-induced stomatitis was determined by the dose of radiation exposure. Additional exposure to a chemical factor (cyclophosphamide) augmented the destructive effect of ionizing radiation on the buccal mucosa of rats.
