Summary

Absorption of radioactive phosphorus from the pleural cavity was studied under normal conditions and against the background of artificial pneumothorax. Radioactive phosphorus in the form of a sodium salt was injected at the rate of 50 million impulses per minute per kg of body weight into the pleural cavity under manometric control. Deposition of radioactive phosphorus in the blood and in internal organs (liver, lungs) was determined. Three minutes after the injection radioactive phosphorus was evident in the blood, the maximum concentration being reached in 20–30 minutes. Two hours later, considerable portions of radioactive phosphorus were evident in the liver and lungs.

Artificial phenmothorax lowered absorption of radioactive phosphorus, but raised its deposition in the liver and lungs. Deposition of radioactive phosphorus in the left normal lung was higher than in the right collapsed one.
