Russia invented a vaccine that helps fight radiation

According to Voice of Russia, scientists at the Vladikavkaz Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences have invented a unique vaccine that neutralizes the effects of radiation on living organisms.

Japanese experts are very interested and intend to use this drug to neutralize the negative impacts and effects of radiation on those who work at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in trouble. due to the double disaster earthquake and tsunami that happened on March 11 caused.

Professor Vyacheslav Maliyev, head of the center's Biotechnology Department, said, with the support of experts from the US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), making this vaccine is in the completed.

North Ossettia scientists have been working with NASA biologists to study the project since 2006 after comparing and testing Russian and American vaccines. The drug was injected for experimental animals infected with radioactive doses that could not survive more than seven days later.

The animals that were injected with US drugs died on the fourth day, while the ones injected with Russian drugs survived and two months later, their bodies showed no unusual manifestations.

In the next stages, experts from the two countries have studied the vaccine in animals as well as in human cells, and confirmed the effectiveness of the drug.

According to scientists in Vladikavkaz, this vaccine works for radiation levels exceeding the permissible level thousands of times , however, so far has not been applied clinically.

Meanwhile, Voldemar Tarita, head of the Russian All-Russian Emergency and Radiation Medical Center laboratory, said to develop and test vaccines for treating common radioactive diseases. Ask it to take years.

Among the drugs that reduce the level of radiation impact on humans, the simplest and most accessible are iodine preparations that protect the thyroid gland.

However, experts warn, when radiation is normal, humans should not treat themselves with preparations containing iodine or biological additives. Overdose of drugs that will lead to negative consequences like allergies, rash, fever, and various dermatitis.

According to scientists, eating seaweed is the best way to prevent the effects of radiation.

According to Tarita, after returning home, all Russian lifeguards who have worked in Japan will receive a unique device radioactivity test of the Emergency and Emergency Medical Center in St Petersburg. .

Currently more than 150 Russian employees are participating in rescue work in areas of Japan affected by earthquakes and tsunamis.
