Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) implant generally provides temporary fracture fixation and facilitates bone regeneration. However, the exact effects of generated Mg ions (Mg2+), hydrogen gas (H2), and hydroxide ions (OH-) by Mg degradation on enhancing fracture healing are not fully understood. Here we investigate the in vivo degradation of Mg intramedullary nail (Mg-IMN), revealing the generation of

Steroid-associated osteonecrosis (SAON) remains a challenging clinical condition as there are few effective preventive measures. This study investigates the effects of hydrogen (H2) administrated via saturated hydrogen-rich water (HRW) in mice received high dose of glucocorticoids (for inducing SAON model). Here we find that HRW treatment significantly reduces osteocyte apoptosis, improves deterio

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,

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) exhibits a wide breadth of botanical effects especially in improving the resistance to abiotic stress. However, the primary target is not clear. Bidirectional hydrogenases have been well studied in microbes and alga, but there is a paucity of research in higher plants. Here, we used real-time spectrophotometry, gas chromatography and H2 sensor to detect the H2-evolving and

Generation of free radicals through incomplete reduction of oxygen during ischemia/ reperfusion is well-described. On the other hand, molecular hydrogen (H2) reduces oxidative stress due to its ability to react with strong oxidants and easily penetrate cells by diffusion, without disturbing metabolic redox reactions. This study was designed to explore cardioprotective potential of hypoxic postcond
