Abstract:
During the clinical research we found disorders in peroxidation--oxidizing activity in blood of people who were under the influence of small doses of long radiating irradiation and this was one of the main reasons of postradiation encephalopathy development in people injured during Chernobyl accident. Formerly it was shown that the adaptation to the mountain hypoxia conditions in Prielbrusie or the use of normobaric hypoxytherapy normatized pro- oxidant status inpatients with postradiation encephalopathy after the course of hypoxytherapy. Symptomatology of disease essentially smoothed, blood formula and behavioral reactions improved and the rehabilitation proceeded more intensively.
