title: Modification of repair of X-irradiation damage of hemopoietic system of mice by microwaves.
abstract: Microwaves (2450 tmhz, 10e mW/cm2, 300 s) were used to modify X-irradiation damage of the hemopoietic system in the mouse. Compared with X-irradiated controls, microwave-treated mice manifested an increased number of surviving hemopoietic stem cells, heightened erythropoiesis and myelopoiesis and increased rate of survival.
