Background: Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, hydrogen gas (H(2)) has protective effects on a variety of organs from damage induced by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). In this study, we tested the protective effect of hydrogen-rich saline on the brain in a global cerebral I/R model.
Materials And Methods: We used a four-vessel occlusion model of global cerebral ischemia (15 min) and reperfusion with rats. The rats were divided into four groups (n = 96): sham, I/R plus physiologic saline injected intraperitoneally, I/R plus hydrogen-rich saline injected intraperitoneally at the beginning of reperfusion, and I/R plus hydrogen-rich saline injected intraperitoneally 6 h after reperfusion began. One group of rats was sacrificed after 24 h of reperfusion. Malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured to quantify the oxidative stress. Caspase-3 was measured to indicate the status of apoptosis. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were measured to monitor the inflammation. Another group of rats was sacrificed after 72 h of reperfusion to measure the histologic damages in hippocampus by hematoxylin and eosin staining and Nissl staining.
Results: Compared with rats with I/R only, hydrogen-rich saline treatment significantly improved the amount of surviving cells. NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-6, MDA, and caspase-3 were all increased significantly by I/R injury. Hydrogen-rich saline reduced all these markers.
Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that intraperitoneal injection of hydrogen-rich saline has strong protective effect on the transient global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats.

Article Synopsis
- Research explored the effectiveness of hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) for nasal irrigation after chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) surgery, which is a commonly challenging long-term treatment.
- A study with 61 patients compared HRS to regular saline (NS) post-surgery, measuring outcomes through various scoring methods over 12 weeks.
- Results showed that the HRS group had better outcomes in reducing discomfort and achieving clinical cure compared to the NS group, without significant side effects.

Article Synopsis
- The cuff of an endotracheal tube (ETT) is essential for creating an artificial airway but can harm airway mucosa due to compression, leading to ischemia and oxidative stress injuries.
- This study investigates hydrogen as a natural antioxidant that can protect the airway mucosa from damage caused by ETT cuff compression by reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting cell death pathways.
- Results showed that inhaling hydrogen and using hydrogen-rich saline during intubation can significantly reduce airway injuries and postoperative throat discomfort, suggesting it may be a valuable strategy in clinical settings.

Sepsis causes dysfunction in different organs, but the pathophysiological mechanisms behind it are similar and mainly involve complex hemodynamic and cellular dysfunction. The importance of microcirculatory dysfunction in sepsis is becoming increasingly evident, in which endothelial dysfunction and glycocalyx degradation play a major role. This study aimed to investigate the effects of hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) on renal microcirculation in septic renal failure, and whether Sirt1 was involved in the renoprotective effects of HRS.

Introduction: Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a major concern that frequently occurs during vascular surgeries. Hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) solution exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to examine the effects of HRS applied before ischemia in the lungs of rats using a lower extremity IR model.

Article Synopsis
- The research investigated the impact of molecular hydrogen (H), an antioxidant, on retinal degeneration in mice with inherited retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
- Mice were divided into control and intervention groups, with different modes of hydrogen treatment, including hydrogen gas and hydrogen-rich saline.
- Results showed no significant differences in various indicators of retinal health, suggesting that hydrogen treatments did not effectively influence retinal degeneration in this mouse model.
