[Comparison of different G-CSF treatment effectiveness in experiments on irradiated mice].

In the experiments on F1 (CBA x C57BL) and BALB mice irradiated by 137Cs gamma-rays, preparations of unglycosilated G-SCF such as Neupogen and their domestic analogs Leucostim and Neupomax were investigated. The tests such as 9-day bone marrow cellularity (BMC) and endogenous CFUs, the neutrophile number restoration, the 30-day survival index have shown that all three preparations have an approximately equal effectiveness relating to acute radiation disease treatment and granulopoiesis stimulation after a 5-10 day consecutive administration following irradiation of mice at lethal and sublethal doses. We have come to the conclusion that Leucostim and Neupomax can be regarded as adequate substitutes for Neupogen.

[Toxicity and radio-protective properties of pyridazine derivatives]. / Toksichnost' i radiozashchitnye svoistva proizvodnykh piridazina.

In experiments in irradiated (CBA X S57B1)F1 mice a study was made of toxicity and radioprotective efficiency of some pyridazine and pyridazine dione derivatives. Some of these substances were shown to have a moderate protective action when administered intraperitoneally. A correlation was revealed between the chemical structure and the radioprotective properties of the compounds.
