Yue Yuan, Zishuo Hou, Miaomiao Chen, Jingwei Yu, Minghao Zhou, Jiaxin Kang, et al.

The weaker soft tissue integration around implants compared to natural teeth poses a substantial challenge to the long-term success of implants. To enhance soft tissue integration, we develop an on-demand and long-lasting H2-releasing implant to achieve precise sequential regulation of the soft tissue integration through immunomodulation and pro-remodeling coupling. In the inflammatory phase, the

Yiting Li, Renjie Bing, Meng Liu, Zhangyuting Shang, Yan Huang, Kaixiang Zhou, et al.

Objective: Exercise-induced oxidative stress affects multiple neurophysiological processes, diminishing the exercise performance. Hydrogen (H2) can selectively reduce excessive free radicals, but studies observed its “dual effects” on exercise-induced oxidative stress, that is, increasing or decreasing the oxidative stress. Therefore, we here conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to quan

Therapeutic Potential of Hydrogen as a Radioprotective Agent for the Prevention of Radiation Dermatitis

MHID-0828029PMID: 397658042024Antioxidants

Deng-Yu Kuo, Yu-Chi Wang, Pei-Han Chou, Chen-Wei Lai, Fu-I Tung, Tse-Ying Liu

Radiation dermatitis (RD) is a common side effect in patients receiving radiotherapy. Currently, clinical skincare approaches for acute RD vary widely among institutions and lack consensus. Hydrogen molecules, acting as radioprotective agents by selectively scavenging free radicals, have the potential to protect against RD. In this study, we demonstrate that hydrogen reduces double- strand breaks,

Disproportion between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the body's antioxidant system can cause oxidative stress, which is considered a common denominator in various pathological conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, aging, and cognitive disorders. The generation of free radicals, which occurs through partial reduction of oxygen, can quickly overwhelm the endogenous antioxidant

Photocatalytic glucose depletion and hydrogen generation for diabetic wound healing

MHID-2989698PMID: 361678142022Nature Communications

Shengqiang Chen, Yanxia Zhu, Qingqing Xu, Qi Jiang, Danyang Chen, Ting Chen, et al.

High-glucose microenvironment in the diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) causes excessive glycation and induces chronic inflammation, leading to the difficulty of DFU healing. Hydrogen-rich water bath can promote the healing of DFU in clinic by virtue of the anti-inflammatory effect of hydrogen molecules, but the long-term daily soaking counts against the formation of a scab and cannot change the high-glucose

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is a colorless, tasteless, odorless, and minimal molecule with high flammability. Although H2 has been thought to be an inert gas in living bodies for many years, an animal study reported that inhalation of H2 gas decreased oxidative stress and suppressed brain injury caused by ischemia and reperfusion injury due to its antioxidant action. Since then, the antioxidant action

H2 has been clinically demonstrated to provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which makes it an attractive agent in exercise medicine. Although exercise provides a multiplicity of benefits including decreased risk of disease, it can also have detrimental effects. For example, chronic high-intensity exercise in elite athletes, or sporadic bouts of exercise (i.e. noxious exercise) in unt
