Animal StudyIn VitroHighlightedHydrogen-rich saline protects immunocytes from radiation-induced apoptosisMHID-89507332012Medical Science MonitorYanyong Yang, Bailong Li, Cong Liu, Yunhai Chuai, Jixiao Lei, Fu Gao, et al.Background: Radiation often causes depletion of immunocytes in tissues and blood, which results in immuno suppression. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been shown in recent studies to have potential as a safe and effective radioprotective agent through scavenging free radicals. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that H2 could protect immunocytes from ionizing radiation (IR). Material/Metho
Animal StudyHighlightedHydrogen Protects Mice from Radiation Induced Thymic Lymphoma in BALB/c MiceMHID-2530014PMID: 214483402011International Journal of Biological SciencesLuqian Zhao, Chuanfeng Zhou, Jian Zhang, Fu Gao, Bailong Li, Yunhai Chuai, et al.Ionizing radiation (IR) is a well-known carcinogen, however the mechanism of radiation in- duced thymic lymphoma is not well known. Moreover, an easy and effective method to protect mice from radiation induced thymic lymphoma is still unknown. Hydrogen, or H2, is seldom regarded as an important agent in medical usage, especially as a therapeutic gas. Here in this study, we found that H2 protects m
