Background: Stigma is the experience of feeling different from socially accepted norms which can lead to personal devaluation or fear of disapproval from others.

This study aimed to observe the mechanism of hydrogen (H) in a lung transplantation model simulated by pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs), which were divided into 5 groups. The blank group was the normal PMVECs. During cold ischemia period, PMVECs in the control, O, or H groups were aerated with no gas, O, or 3% H, and 3% H after transfected with a small interfering RNA targeting Nrf2 in the H+si-Nrf2 group.
