[Allelopathic activity of volatile secretions in irradiated animals]. / Allelopaticheskaia aktivnost' letuchikh vydelenii obluchennykh zhivotnykh.

In the period of the most expressed postirradiation (4 Gy) injury, the rats secreted volatile components capable of lowering the blood cells count in intact rats. This ability of the irradiated animals is not strictly specific for species since the depression effect on rats is exerted also by volatile components of irradiated mice. We suggest marking this phenomenon as postirradiation allelopathy.

[Prevention of local radiation injuries using metronidazole]. / Profilaktika mestnykh luchevykh povrezhdenii metronidazolom.

The use of small doses of metronidazole (90 mg/kg) for 7 days followed by irradiation of the rat hip at a dose of 66 Gy, increased 1.7 times cicatrization at the site of radiation injuries in comparison with the control group of animals.

[Radioprotective action of a gas hypoxic mixture GHM-10 in multiple irradiations of rat and human skin]. / Izuchenie radiozashchitnogo deistviia gazovoi gipoksicheskoi smesi GGS-10 pri mnogokratnom obluchenii kozhnykh pokrovov krys i cheloveka.

Gas hypoxic mixture (GHM-10) decreased significantly the occurrence and duration of radioepidermitis after local therapeutic fractionated irradiation of Wistar rat skin with a cumulative dose of 66 Gy. In patients subjected to radiation therapy and protected with GHM-10 erythema and epidermitis developed at a much higher cumulative dose than in the controls. With erythema dose modifying coefficient was 1.38 +/- 0.06.
