Abstract

Purpose entirely introduction of Radioprotection in sordiers that confront
With nuclear
and accidents to persons that involved with military medicine and health.
Radioprotection is done at physical and chemical method or combination. of both
radioprtecrion of aiive tlssue b" done with shielding
physical Radioprotection of alive tissue be done with shielding or dose fractionation that isn’t feasible in radiation accident specially in fighting sordiers. chemical Radioprotection be done by compound(chemical compound) with several
mechanisms that free radical scavenging is most important mechanism.free radical are unstable agents that are formed by radiation exposure of
cells. Antioxidants and aminothiols protect tissues with this mechanism, principally. Biochemical shock and hypoxia induction and hydrogen atom donarion are other radioprotective radioprotoctols such as immunomodulators.
According to a lot of stuies about radioprotective drugs, the numbers of newest and most complete sources such as books and papers were used to introduce of well-known radioprotectors mechanism and applications. Also future perspectives and nessecities of military Radioprotection have been discussed. With attention to studies application of single drug alone to Radioprotection
of fighting persons is impossible. but application of two or more drugs may can decrease side effects of even fatal irradiation in war scene. Nessecityof clinical trials for determine of suitable radioprotective regimen in fighting soldiers. Necessitates that more numbers of medical specialists and radiobiologists and
pharmacologists research about Radiopiotecfion.
