Abstract
Head trauma is one of the main reasons for morbidity and mortality in motor vehicle and work accidents. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hydrogen on head trauma injury. The study groups were divided into four groups, with six rats in each group as follows: Control or no treatment (group C), Head Trauma Injury (group HI), Hydrogen-rich Saline (group H2), and Head Trauma Injury + hydrogen-rich saline (group HI+H2). Blood and brain tissues, serum, interleukin (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) parameters were analyzed. Histopathologically, hematoxylin-eosin and TUNEL staining were performed on the tissue samples. A significant increase in TNF-α and IL-6 levels in the HI group that decreased when hydrogen-rich saline was applied, i.e., the HI+H2 group. Histopathologically, a decrease in degenerative cells was observed in the treatment group (i.e., HI+H2). TUNEL staining also showed a decrease in the number of stained cells in the HI+H2 group compared to the HI group. It is thought that hydrogen-rich saline treatment may be suggested to alleviate the damage caused by head trauma injury.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
