Effect of TS treatment on the survival of mice with combined injury (exposed to 9.2 Gy ⁶⁰Co γ-radiation and wounded). TS or vehicle was administered to mice (n = 16) 24 h before radiation exposure, and wounded groups were given a wound within 1 h following irradiation. Survival was monitored for 30 d. Mice treated with TS were protected significantly (*P < 0.001) compared with vehicle control. In combined-injury groups, TS treatment increased the number of survivors over vehicle-treated mice (^†P < 0.01).
