Hepatoprotective effect of the radiation countermeasure flagellin in the long term after irradiation of mice.

Purpose: Purpose is to study the hepatoprotective effect of a new promising radiation countermeasure flagellin, in the long term after irradiation. The results of the study can be useful for mitigating the consequences of man-made radiation accidents, protecting professional contingents, reducing the toxic effect of radiation therapy, and expanding the range of drug use.

Materials And Methods: Effect of flagellin was investigated 10 months after its administration of irradiated male of mice F1 (CBAхC57Bl/6).

The Dependence of the Mutagenic Effect on the Dose of X-Ray Irradiation in an In Vivo Experiment on Female (CBA×C57Bl/6)F1 Mice.

We studied the mutagenic effect of X-ray irradiation in doses of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 Gy on female (CBA×C57Bl/6)F1 mice.

Different radiomodificators (cytokine betaleukine, antioxidant phenoxan, antigipoksant limontar and nucleoside riboxin) were investigated on mice for evaluating their radiation protective capacity against prolonged (21 h) exposure at a dose of 12.6 Gy at a low dose rate of 10 mGy/min. Bone marrow cellularity and endogenic CFUs were used as evaluation criteria 9 days after exposure.

Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rh TPO) has been investigated as a means of acute radiation disease urgent treatment in the experiments on 24 mongrel dogs. The animals were exposed to total acute gamma-irradiation at the doses of 3.5 Gy (exceeding LD50/45 under our conditions) and 3 Gy.

[Evaluation of the treatment effectiveness of domestic G-SCF preparations in experiments on irradiated dogs].

We have evaluated the treatment effectiveness of Leucostim and Neupomax in dogs exposed to radiation at lethal doses of 3 and 3.5 Gy, correspondingly, by testing the dynamics of the blood cell number, first of all, leucocytes and neutrophiles, and the 45-day survival. Supportive therapy for all the dogs, including the control ones, consisted in antibiotic treatment during the acute period of 7-24 days.
