    Abstract: BACKGROUND: There is a high need for drugs to reduce the side effects of radiation exposure on people in extreme, military, marine, space medicine, at nuclear facilities, in hematology and oncology. AIM: To evaluate the antiradiation efficacy of beta-D-glucan derived from Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) after total body irradiation of mice in terms of survival and hematopoiesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted on a mouse model of the acute radiation hematopoietic syndrome caused by exposure to X-rays. Radioprotective effect of intragastrically administered beta-D-glucan derived from Pleurotus ostreatus at a dose of 500 mg/kg was studied. The parameters of the 30-day survival of irradiated mice were analyzed using the KaplanMeyer method. Dose reduction factor of X-ray radiation was calculated to evaluate the radiomodifying effect. The hematopoiesis was assessed by the endogenous colony formation test and hematological parameters in irradiated mice. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistica 8.0 software. RESULTS: The antiradiation efficacy of orally administered beta-D-glucan has been shown. DRF was 1.16 when the drug was administered 0.5 hours before irradiation and 1.06 during therapeutic use (after 1 or 2 hours). There was a decrease in weight loss in lethally irradiated mice and its faster recovery. Single oral administration of beta-D-glucan at a dose of 500 mg/kg stimulated the growth of splenic endogenous colony-forming units in mice on day 9 after total body irradiation at doses of 7 and 7.8 Gy, contributed to a decrease in the severity of leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. The antiradiation effect of beta-D-glucan was associated with an increase in the viability of bone marrow stem cells and a faster restoration of hematopoiesis. CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained indicate the possibility of using beta-D-glucan from P. ostreatus both before irradiation to increase the radioresistance and for early therapy of the hematopoietic syndrome of acute radiation sickness.

    Abstract: This study evaluated the efficiency of using gas mixtures with increased concentrations of inert gases on a hemorrhagic shock model in experimental animals. Massive blood loss is considered a trigger mechanism of severe pathophysiological reactions (impaired peripheral perfusion, acidosis, hemostasis system dysfunction, and multiple organ failure). Inert gases (helium, argon, and xenon) attract attention as potentially useful in various pathological conditions. The study was conducted on 15 same-sex pigs of the same breed, weighing 4050 kg, randomized into three groups with five each: control group, inhalation of 100% oxygen; agohhep group, inhalation of the Aroxxen gas mixture: 35% argon, 58% oxygen, 0.2% xenon, and nitrogen as the rest of the volume; and agohhep-krypto group, inhalation of the gas mixture Aroxxen-krypto: 35% argon, 40% oxygen, 10% krypton, and nitrogen as the rest of the volume. Dynamic monitoring of vital signs and sampling of materials were conducted before blood loss, with blood loss of 20% and 45% of the volume of the circulating blood 60, 120, and 180 min after blood loss. The survival rate of animals and respiratory and circulatory states were evaluated by clinical and laboratory indicators. With blood loss of 45% of the circulating blood volume, no statistically significant differences in mortality were found between the groups. All animals survived for 180 min in the post-hemorrhagic period. In the aggohep-krypto group, average blood pressure values after blood loss and throughout the follow-up period were significantly higher than those in the control and aggohep groups (p 0.05). During shock simulation as a result of blood loss, base deficiency gradually worsened in all groups. However, starting from the second hour of observation, base deficiency began to be compensated in the control and aggohep-krypto groups and the aggohep group, it continued to increase significantly (p 0.01). During the follow-up after blood loss, the level of lactatemia significantly increased in the aggohep group (by 10 times at the end of the follow-up), which is significant different from those in the control and aggohep-krypto groups (p 0.01). Thus, compared with the use of Arroxen gas, the use of Arroxen-krypto gas of the proposed composition in acute massive blood loss makes it possible to achieve a less pronounced attrition of the acidbase balance in experimental animals.
