[The effect of the combined treatment of patients with postradiation encephalopathy on lipid peroxidation activity].

Conventionally healthy persons-donors and diseased subjects who had taken part in the elimination of the Chernobyl accident effects were evaluated for the activity of the process of free radical lipid peroxidation (LPO). The patient population demonstrated a significant elevation of blood levels of malonic dialdehyde, enhancement of intensity of spontaneous chemoluminescence together with a decrease in resistance of red cells to oxide. After the general course of therapy involving use of enterosorbents, antioxidants, and normobaric intermittent hypoxia, there was an appreciable decrease in the blood plasma LPO intensity, which observation was accompanied with improvement in general health of the patients.
