Abstract

The effects of drugs naphazoline and filgrastim, upon individual and co-administration, on the course and outcome of combined radiation-mechanical injury were examined in experimental studies in mice. In mice exposed to ionizing radiation at LD50/30 with a subsequent mechanical injury, naphazoline and filgrastim, upon individual administration, reduced the bone-marrow hemapoiesis impairment severity and hemapoietic cells' proliferative activity, contributing to survival increase by 20 and 30% correspondingly. Co-administration of naphazoline (prophylactically, 15 min preexposure) and filgrastim (during 10 days) has a significant protective effect under specified combined injury, characterized by a 50% survival increase, a reduced postradiational leukopenia severity, increased colony-formation and myelopoiesis.
