The characters and developments of therapy and research of neutron-induced acute radiation sickness

Neutron radiation will exert seriously lesions on body and lead to acute radiation sickness (ARS).Neutron-induced ARS is characterized by complicated symptoms of gastrointestinal,high earlier death rate and lacking of specially therapeutic approaches.The primarily curable method is to treat patients with comprehensive means such as anti-infection,anti-bleeding and blood infusion,et.Cytokines can improve the hematopoietic functions of bone marrow.With the rapid development of the molecular biology and the emergence of cytokines such as recombinant human interleukin-11that could help the regeneration of the gastrointestinal mucosa,neutron-induced ARS will be treated with new methods.
