More details about the invention

Invention relates to experimental medicine, astronautics, in particular, to ensure the physical working capacity of astronauts with corpuscular irradiation, and also the preservation of the patients’ life status in proton therapy of oncological diseases. Animal after a single non-uniform proton irradiation in doses capable of causing acute radiation injury is administered Semax 0.1 % nasal drops intranasally. Semax injected three times a day, 1 drop into each nostril, using the attached pipette from 1 to 7 days after exposure to radiation.
EFFECT: method ensures the preservation of the muscle strength index of animals at a normal level during the development of acute radiation injury after uneven proton irradiation.
