Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our basic data have shown that hydrogen is a high potential therapeutic gas for the lung transplant-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury. To introduce the hydrogen gas therapy to clinical practice, we developed the ventilation system with hydrogen. And we have started to administer hydrogen gas to the patient. On the other hand, to elucidate the mechanism of the therapeutic effect of hydrogen gas, we also set up the cell experiment system with hydrogen.
