Abstract:
To investigate the protective effects of hydrogen on renal ischemic/reperfusion injury and its mechanism in rats. Eighteen adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were used and allocated into sham-operated group (Sham group), ischemic reperfusion group (I/R group) and hydrogen treated group (H2 group) randomly. Ischemic/reperfusion of the left renal pedicles following a right nephrectomy was investigated in I/R group. In the Sham group, the rats were subjected to identical surgical procedure without occlusion of left renal pedicles. In the H2 group, inhalation of the 2.5% hydrogen was initiated 10 min before reperfusion and last for 130 min till the end of the 120-min reperfusion. Plasma level of usea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), maiondiaidehyde (MDA), the score of histopathological examination of left kidney were evaluated 24 h after operation in all subjects. Ischemia-reperfusion injury rat model was established successfully. Inhalation of hydrogen (2.5%) markedly reduced the level of serum BUN, CREA and MDA (P < 0.05). The histopathological outcome in the H2 group was significantly improved, compared to the I/R group (P < 0.05). Inhalation of hydrogen could attenuate renal ischemic/reperfusion injury in rats by decreasing the content of MDA.

Molecular hydrogen: prospective treatment strategy of kidney damage after cardiac surgery
2023 - Kidney - Surgery/Transplantation
Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is a common postoperative complication, mostly due increasing oxidative stress. Recently, molecular hydrogen (H2 gas), has also been applied to cardiac surgery due to its ability to reduce ...

2023 - Endothelium - Surgery/Transplantation
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) causes systemic inflammation and endothelial glycocalyx damage. Hydrogen has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; therefore, we hypothesized that hydrogen would alleviate endothelial glycocalyx damage caused by ...
Hydrogen Attenuates Inflammation by Inducing Early M2 Macrophage Polarization in Skin Wound Healing
2023 - Skin - Surgery/Transplantation
The heterogeneous and highly plastic cell populations of macrophages are important mediators of cellular responses during all stages of wound healing, especially in the inflammatory stage. Molecular hydrogen (H2), which has potent antioxidant and ...
Hydrogen-generating Si-based agent improves fat graft survival in rats
2023 - Skin - Surgery/Transplantation
Background: Regulating excessive inflammation and oxidative stress in fat grafting may improve retention rates. Hydrogen effectively combats oxidative stress and inflammation and reportedly inhibits ischemia-reperfusion injury in various organs. ...
