This study was designed to investigate the neuroprotective effect of hyperoxygenate hydrogen-rich saline (HOHS) against brain injury induced by carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in rats. A rat model of CO poisoning was established by administering CO via intraperitoneal injection to male Sprague-Dawley rats. Forty-eight adult male rats were randomly divided into the following groups: normal control group (NG), CO poisoning group (CO), HOS treatment group (hyperoxygenated solution, HOS) and HOHS treatment group (HOHS). After CO poisoning, the carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) contents in the blood of rats in all the CO poisoning groups were increased significantly. However, HOS and HOHS significantly decreased COHb contents, furthermore, the HOHS group had lower COHb contents than the HOS group. Arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO) and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO) results showed that HOS and HOHS could improve the oxygenation of the rats with CO poisoning. Compared with the CO group, the HOS group and the HOHS group had persistently neuroprotective effect on CO-induced brain injury, as assessed by modified neurological severity score (mNSS), furthermore, the HOHS group had better neurological functional recovery than the HOS group. The neuronal apoptosis induced by CO was also evaluated. Except the NG group, all the CO-poisoning groups had varying degrees of neuronal apoptosis. There was lesser degree of neuronal apoptosis in both the HOS group and the HOHS group than that in the CO group. Moreover, the HOHS group had more minor degree of neuronal apoptosis than the HOS group. Compared with the CO group, the free radicals production in the HOS group and the HOHS group were significantly inhibited. In addition, there were significantly difference in the free radicals production between the HOS group and the HOHS group. We could conclude that HOHS exerted a stronger neuroprotective effect against CO-induced brain injury than HOS, and the neuroprotective mechanism of HOHS may be related with inhibition of both neuronal apoptosis and free radicals.

We present here a review of the photochemical and electrochemical applications of multi-site proton-coupled electron transfer (MS-PCET) in organic synthesis. MS-PCETs are redox mechanisms in which both an electron and a proton are exchanged together, often in a concerted elementary step. As such, MS-PCET can function as a non-classical mechanism for homolytic bond activation, providing opportunities to generate synthetically useful free radical intermediates directly from a wide variety of common organic functional groups.

Background: Hemorrhagic shock could induce acute lung injury (ALI), which is associated with cell hypoxia, lung tissue inflammation, free radical damage, and excessive cell apoptosis. Our previous studies demonstrated that hyperoxygenated solution could alleviate cell hypoxia. Furthermore, hydrogen-rich solution (HS) could relieve lung tissue inflammation, free radical damage and excessive cell apoptosis.

Carbene transfer reactions are very important transformations in organic synthesis, allowing the generation of structurally challenging products by catalysed cyclopropanation, cyclopropenation, carbene C-H, N-H, O-H, S-H, and Si-H insertion, and olefination of carbonyl compounds. In particular, chiral and achiral metalloporphyrins have been successfully explored as biomimetic catalysts for these carbene transfer reactions under both homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions. In this work the use of synthetic metalloporphyrins (MPorph, M = Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh, Ir, Sn) as homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts for carbene transfer reactions in the last years is reviewed, almost exclusively focused on the literature since the year 2010, except when reference to older publications was deemed to be crucial.
