On the morning of May 23, the "Hydrogen-Oxygen Medical Treatment Center" was officially established at Jiangsu Zhongshan Geriatric Rehabilitation Hospital (Zhongshan Rehabilitation Branch of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital). The launch ceremony was presided over by Li Yongqiang, Vice President of Jiangsu Zhongshan Geriatric Rehabilitation Hospital. Attendees included Jian'an Li, International Academician of the National Academy of Medicine and Medical Director of Jiangsu Zhongshan Geriatric Rehabilitation Hospital; Dinggang Li, Chief Medical Expert of the Hengpu Life Research Center at Southern University of Science and Technology; and Xinyong Lin, founder of Asclepius Meditec.
At the ceremony, Academician Jian'an Li praised the rapid development of hydrogen-oxygen medicine in China in recent years and expressed high expectations for the future development of the "Hydrogen-Oxygen Inhalation Center". Professor Li Dinggang introduced the impact and significance of hydrogen-oxygen medical research. Mr. Xinyong Lin explained the application of hydrogen-oxygen inhalation in geriatric rehabilitation.
It is reported that the clinically used hydrogen-oxygen therapy has been approved by the drug regulatory authorities. By electrolyzing natural water molecules through a hydrogen-oxygen nebulizer, it produces a high-concentration hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas with 66.6% hydrogen and 33.3% oxygen for inhalation. This therapy has mechanisms of action such as anti-inflammatory effects, antioxidant stress reduction, and enhancement of mitochondrial immunity. Since no toxic side effects have been observed with hydrogen-oxygen inhalation and it exhibits characteristics of enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity in clinical practice, it holds significant application value in the field of rehabilitation.
After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, hydrogen-oxygen therapy demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in the respiratory field. The Chinese government included "hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas inhalation" three times in the COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment protocols. According to an article published in the journal of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, among eight representative COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment protocols, only hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas inhalation and convalescent plasma therapy were noted as having "no side effects identified," confirming the safety of hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas inhalation for the human body. Based on relevant clinical data, hydrogen-oxygen inhalation is more suitable for elderly individuals with weaker constitutions, complex conditions, and multiple concurrent diseases.
The reporter learned that the "Hydrogen-Oxygen Medical Treatment Center" will focus on the clinical application of hydrogen-oxygen inhalation therapy in rehabilitation, introducing research findings on hydrogen-oxygen inhalation in areas such as neurological rehabilitation, pain management, and sleep disorders into rehabilitation treatment. This represents an innovative exploration by the hospital in recent years.
Reporter Experiences Hydrogen-Oxygen Therapy On-Site
Academician Li Jian'an stated,"The main research directions of hydrogen-oxygen medicine cover areas such as elderly health, critical care rehabilitation, and disease prevention. Related research projects involve improving the side effects of tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy, as well as common geriatric diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sleep-disordered breathing, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. As a novel medical treatment approach, we anticipate positive outcomes for the recovery of patients".
