The publication “Hydrogen-rich saline promotes survival of retinal ganglion cells in a rat model of optic nerve crush.” is organized in H2HUBB under the research focus hydrogen-rich saline eye health study 2014. The publication is cited as Sun JC, Xu T, Zuo Q, Wang RB, Qi AQ, Cao WL, Sun AJ, Sun XJ, Xu J, PloS one, 2014. This animal study examined Hydrogen-rich saline promotes survival of retinal ganglion cells in a rat model of optic nerve crush. The abstract describes Rat model; hydrogen delivered as hydrogen-rich saline; reported duration 14 days. The abstract reports: These results demonstrated that H₂ protects RGCs and helps preserve the visual function after ONC and had a neuroprotective effect in a rat model…. This is an automated editorial draft based on the abstract and requires source review before publication.
Hydrogen-rich saline eye health study 2014 overview
To investigate the effect of molecular hydrogen (H2) in a rat model subjected to optic nerve crush (ONC). Animal research can identify biological effects and support future investigation, but it cannot by itself establish safety or effectiveness in humans.
Study design and hydrogen intervention
Publication type: Animal study. Evidence type: Preclinical animal evidence. Research model or population: Rat model. Blinding: Unknown. Control status: Unknown.
Delivery method: Hydrogen-rich saline. Treatment duration: 14 days.
Reported findings and scientific interpretation
For this hydrogen-rich saline eye health study 2014, the study record reports the following: The abstract reports: These results demonstrated that H₂ protects RGCs and helps preserve the visual function after ONC and had a neuroprotective effect in a rat model…
These findings should be interpreted as one piece of evidence rather than as a stand-alone medical conclusion. Results can be influenced by the research model, study design, treatment protocol, sample size, outcome selection, statistical methods, and whether the findings have been independently reproduced.
How this research record was prepared
H2HUBB organizes bibliographic details, study design information, intervention data, outcomes, limitations, and safety notes from the available scientific source. Automated classification supports database organization, but it does not replace critical reading of the complete paper. Source identifiers, evidence labels, and delivery-method fields are retained so readers can verify the record and compare it with related publications. A missing field means the information was unavailable or not reported in the structured source; it should not be treated as a negative finding.
Limitations, safety, and original source
Limitations: Preclinical animal findings may not translate directly to human outcomes.
The intervention or follow-up period appears relatively short.
Safety: The abstract did not provide detailed safety or adverse-event information.
