Abstract
Capillary morphological studies were conducted in 1956-1957 at the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) on superficial blood vessels to determine late somatic effects of irradiation on 435 subjects composed of A-bomb survivors and their controls. Significant differences were observed in the score assigned to morphological changes, being marked in proximally exposed group and those exposed to 100 rad or more under the age of 10 at the time of bomb. The level of significance was higher for labial and lingual mucosa than fingernail fold and bulbar conjunctiva.
