The publication “Hydrogen protects rats from dermatitis caused by local radiation.” is organized in H2HUBB under the research focus injected hydrogen radiation chemotherapy study 2014. The publication is cited as Mei K, Zhao S, Qian L, Li B, Ni J, Cai J, The Journal of dermatological treatment, 2014. This uncontrolled human study examined Hydrogen protects rats from dermatitis caused by local radiation. The abstract describes Human participants; hydrogen delivered as injected or infused hydrogen. The abstract reports: These results suggest that hydrogen has a positive effect on acute radiodermatitis. This is an automated editorial draft based on the abstract and requires source review before publication.
Injected hydrogen radiation chemotherapy study 2014 overview
Development of dermatitis is a frequent side effect of radiotherapy of patients with head-and-neck cancer. Here we analyzed the radioprotective efficacy of hydrogen under… 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: Injected or infused hydrogen.
Reported findings and scientific interpretation
For this injected hydrogen radiation chemotherapy study 2014, the study record reports the following: The abstract reports: These results suggest that hydrogen has a positive effect on acute radiodermatitis.
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: The abstract alone may not report all methodological limitations; full-text review is required.
Safety: Radiation therapy produced unwanted side effect on normal tissues, such as radiodermatitis.
