Molecular hydrogen is a promising therapeutic agent for pulmonary disease.

Molecular hydrogen exerts biological effects on nearly all organs. It has anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects and contributes to the regulation of autophagy and cell death. As the primary organ for gas exchange, the lungs are constantly exposed to various harmful environmental irritants.

Molecular hydrogen is a potential protective agent in the management of acute lung injury.

Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome, which is a more severe form of ALI, are life-threatening clinical syndromes observed in critically ill patients. Treatment methods to alleviate the pathogenesis of ALI have improved to a great extent at present. Although the efficacy of these therapies is limited, their relevance has increased remarkably with the ongoing pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which causes severe respiratory distress syndrome.

Protective effect of hydrogen-saturated saline on acute lung injury induced by oleic acid in rats.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study is to investigate the role and mechanisms of hydrogen-saturated saline (HSS) in the acute lung injury (ALI) induced by oleic acid (OA) in rats. METHODS: Rats were treated with OA (0.1 mL/kg) to induce ALI and then administered with HSS (5 mL/kg) by intravenous (iv) and intraperitoneal (ip) injection, respectively. Three hours after the injection with OA, the arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO), carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO), and bicarbonate (HCO) levels were analyzed using blood gas analyzer.

Saturated hydrogen saline ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury by reducing excessive autophagy.

The pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) involves excessive pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress. In turn, autophagy is associated with inflammatory diseases and organ dysfunction, and studies have demonstrated that LPS treatment may trigger autophagy. Thus, excessive autophagy may stimulate the strong inflammatory response observed in the development of LPS-induced ALI.
