THIS PAPER is a preliminary report of studies still in progress on the reduction of gastric acidity in the dog by the use of radioactive phosphorus, known as P³². The basic purpose is to determine whether beta irradiation from P³² might be effectively and safely used in the treatment of peptic ulcer by reducing gastric secretion.

Several workers¹ have produced a decrease in acidity for varying intervals with the use of gamma rays. Palmer and Templeton² in 1934 reported 100 cases of peptic ulcer treated with roentgen rays in which they irradiated the stomach anteriorly and posteriorly over a period of ten to twelve days. They reported a definite decrease in gastric acidity, which varied in extent and duration.

In 1942 two New Zealand investigators, Jenkins and McGeorge,³ using gamma rays, placed radium needles in a rubber-covered tube and passed it into the stomach under . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
