title: [The use of preparations of protozoan origin as agents for the prevention and early therapy of combined radiation-thermal injuries].
abstract: Radioprotective and therapeutic effects of astazian and astazilide, the drugs of protozoan origin, were studied in comparison with known modifiers of biological reactions (bacterial polysaccharides, synthetic polypeptides) in combined radiation-thermal injuries (CRTI). The efficiency of drugs under examination was found to be time- and dose-dependent. Application of the drugs of protozoan nature 24 hours prior to or 1 hour following CRTI provided 30 to 50% survival of experimental animals for 30 days as compared to 4.5% in the group of untreated mice. Administration of the drugs 3-7 days following CRTI exerted no therapeutic effect.
