NLRP3↑,
Casp3↑,
VEGF↓, suppression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression

7490- H2,    Long-term administration of hydrogen-rich water enhances quality of life in diabetic rats and reduces renal neoplasm incidence through modulation of inflammatory and metabolic pathways
- in-vivo, Diabetic, NA
*BG↓, Long-term administration of HRW significantly decreased FBG levels and increased BW, indicating an improvement in metabolic control.
*AntiDiabetic↑,
*BMD↑, HRW also ameliorated various DM-related complications, including diabetic cataracts, bone loss, diabetic nephropathy, erectile dysfunction, asthenozoospermia, and renal neoplasms.
*hepatoP↑, revealed significant enrichment of metabolic pathway-related genes in testis, liver, kidney, and stomach tissues, suggesting the reprogramming of metabolic functions.
*RenoP↑,
*QoL↑, The findings suggest that oral ingestion of HRW is a safe, effective, and convenient treatment that improves quality of life for DM patients by reducing blood glucose levels and alleviating diabetic complications.

2522- H2,    A Systematic Review of Molecular Hydrogen Therapy in Cancer Management
- Review, Var, NA
chemoP↑, H2 plays a promising therapeutic role as an independent therapy as well as an adjuvant in combination therapy, resulting in an overall improvement in survivability, quality of life, blood parameters, and tumour reduction.
OS↑,
QoL↑,
TumVol↑,
ROS↑, Hydrogen, the lightest element on the earth, is an effective antioxidant that has been shown to selectively reduce harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tissues
AntiTum↑, Although H2 has demonstrated significant anti-tumoural effects, the underlying mechanisms have not yet been elucidated.
other↝, Many studies have shown that H2 therapy can reduce oxidative stress. This, however, contradicts radiation therapy and chemotherapy, in which ROS are required to induce apoptosis and combat cancer.

2521- H2,    Oxyhydrogen Gas: A Promising Therapeutic Approach for Lung, Breast and Colorectal Cancer
- Review, CRC, NA - Review, Lung, NA - Review, BC, NA
Inflam↑, Oxyhydrogen gas, a mixture of 66% molecular hydrogen (H2) and 33% molecular oxygen (O2) has shown exceptional promise as a novel therapeutic agent due to its ability to modulate oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis.
ROS↓, neutralises reactive oxygen and nitrogen species
ChemoSen↑, enhancing existing treatments and reducing harmful oxidative states in cancer cells. boosting the effectiveness of conventional therapies
p‑PI3K↓, inhibiting the PI3K/Akt phosphorylation cascade.
p‑Akt↓,
QoL↑, Similar results have been observed in breast cancer, where patients reported improved quality of life.
GutMicro↑, improves intestinal microflora dysbiosis.
chemoP↑, reduced oxidative stress and mitigated tissue damage, suggesting its potential as a cytoprotective agent in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy or chemotherapy
radioP↑,
*NRF2↑, documented role in activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway.
*Catalase↑, consequently, hydrogen can enhance the expression of endogenous antioxidant enzymes, including catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), haem oxygenase (e.g., HO-1), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) [45]
*GPx↑,
*HO-1↑,
*SOD↑,
*TNF-α↓, reducing the expression of proinflammatory mediators such as chemokines (e.g., CXCL15), cytokines (e.g., TNF-α), interleukins (e.g., IL-4, IL-6)
*IL4↓,
*IL6↓,
ChemoSen↑, further research demonstrates that oxyhydrogen gas enhanced the sensitivity of lung cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs, suggesting its potential as an adjuvant therapy
Appetite↑, inhaled oxyhydrogen gas over a minimum of 3 months. The results indicated substantial improvements in appetite, cognition, fatigue, pain, and sleeplessness
cognitive↑,
Pain↓,
Sleep↑,
other?, It is recommended that hydrogen should not exceed 4.6% in air or 4.1% by volume in pure oxygen gas (explosion risk)

3152- H2,  VitC,  Rad,    Hydrogen and Vitamin C Combination Therapy: A Novel Method of Radioprotection
- in-vitro, Nor, HUVECs - in-vivo, NA, NA
AntiTum↑, Hydrogen also has direct and indirect antitumor effects, which could be useful for the treatment of cancer patients. Hydrogen therapy improves overall survival, quality of life, blood parameters, and tumor reduction.
OS↑,
QoL↑,
TumVol↓,
radioP↑, In addition, hydrogen attenuates the risk of carcinogenesis induced by radiation.
Dose↑, Patients begin hydrogen inhalation 10 minutes prior to vitamin C injection. Patients are treated with high-dose vitamin C injection while inhaling simultaneous hydrogen
Dose↝, patients also performed the hydrogen and vitamin C combination therapy at home on their own as much as possible
eff↑, These results suggest that in normal cells, the combination of 1 mM vitamin C and hydrogen is the most effective radioprotective agent.

7373- HOO,    Effects of topical ozonated olive oil on lipid profile, quality of life, wound healing and glycemic control in patients with diabetic foot ulcers: a randomized controlled trial
- Trial, Diabetic, NA
*Wound Healing↑, Topical ozonated olive oil significantly enhances wound healing, quality of life, glycemic control, and reduces inflammation in DFU patients.
*QoL↑, Quality of life scores improved (50.1 ± 9.5 vs. 57.8 ± 10.0,

7622- HPT,    A Review of the Current Clinical Evidence for Loco-Regional Moderate Hyperthermia in the Adjunct Management of Cancers
- Review, Var, NA
LC↑, moderate RHT in improving local tumour control, survival outcomes and quality of life scores were observed across the different cancer subsites with minimal increase in toxicities.
OS↑,
QoL↑,
toxicity↓,
Dose↝, Various heating methods include direct (e.g., intracavitary and whole-body waterbed), infrared, perfusional (e.g., isolated limb perfusion, intravesical and intraperitoneal), nanoparticles, ultrasound and regional radiofrequency (RF) radiation
Dose↝, Moderate HT is usually described at a range of 39–44 °C a
