SOLUTION: This protecting agent is obtained by including a prostanoic acid derivative, preferably a prostaglandin I2 derivative, especially a 4,8-inter-m- phenyleneprostaglandin I2 derivative represented by the formula [R1 is COOR2 (R2 is H, a cation, a 1-12C straight-chain alkyl or the like), CH2OH or the like; Y is H, a 1-4C alkyl, chlorine, bromine or the like; B is represented by the formula X-C(R11)(R12)OR13 (R11 is H or a 1-4C alkyl; R12 is a 1-12C straight- chain alkyl or the like; R13 is H, a 1-14C aryl or the like); E is H or OR18 (R18 is a 1-12C acyl or the like)] as an active ingredient.
