| Research Abstract |
To develop a pin-point treatment of cancer cells, hydrogen discharging behavior of hydrogen storage alloy(HSA) and the effect of hydrogen discharged from the HSA with different alloy composition and sample shape on biological cells have been studied. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1) The amount of gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen ions as well as hydrogen radicals varied depending upon alloy composition. It is, therefore, possible to control the hydrogen discharging behavior by adjusting the alloy composition. 2) From the observation of the probability-of-survival(POS) measurement, a reduction in the POS was observed in cancer cells and a part of normal cell, and it was found that the influence of discharged hydrogen depends on the kind of cells. 3) A selective cancer cell death was observed in the region of approximately 2~ 2. 5 mm outside the samples, independent of sample shape. 4) From the ESR experiment and the detection of hydrogen peroxide using fluorescent regent, hydrogen radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide were detected and it was suggested that these hydrogen species would affect to cancer cell death.
