[Synergism and interference in the combined biological action of ionizing and SHF radiation].

Abstract

In experiments with 933 (CBA x C57Bl)F1 mice it has been found that with any variant of alternation and sequence of single ionizing and SHF irradiation with lethal doses, the radiation affection caused by gamma quanta is aggravated. Preirradiation with gamma or SHF radiation ameliorates the severity of the affection caused by the subsequent SHF radiation. Parenteral injection of colloidal sulfur 60 min before SHF radiation causes a 2-5-fold increase in the survival rate of exposed and protected mice as compared to unprotected animals.
