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,

Molecular Hydrogen Mediates Neurorestorative Effects After Stroke in Diabetic Rats: the TLR4/NF‑κB Inflammatory Pathway

MHID-0385819PMID: 358952452023Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology

Wan‑Chao Yang, Ting‑ting Li, Qiang Wan, Xin Zhang, Li‑Ying Sun, Yu‑Rong Zhang, et al.

Diabetes is an independent risk factor for stroke and amplifies inflammation. Diabetic stroke is associated with a higher risk of death and worse neural function. The identification of effective anti-inflammatory molecules with translational advantages is particularly important to promote perioperative neurorestorative effects. Applying molecular hydrogen, we measured blood glucose levels before a

Tatyana Kuropatkina, Dmitrii Atiakshin, Fedor Sychev, Marina Artemieva, Tatyana Samoilenko, Olga Gerasimova, et al.

Hydrogen has been shown to exhibit selective antioxidant properties against hydroxyl radicals, and exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The monocrotaline-induced model of pulmonary hypertension is suitable for studying substances with antioxidant activity because oxidative stress is induced by monocrotaline. On day 1, male Wistar rats were subcutaneously injected with a water–alcohol
