Hydrogen bonding occurs when an atom of hydrogen is attracted by rather strong forces to two atoms instead of only one, so that it may be considered to be acting as a bond between them [99]. Typically hydrogen bonding occurs where the partially positively charged hydrogen atom lies between partially negatively charged oxygen and/or nitrogen atoms, but is also found elsewhere, such as between fl...

Hydrogen-rich Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino distillate (HRGD) consists of steam with hydrogen gas. Although both G. and hydrogen-rich water are well known for their biological medical benefits, there is a lack information on safety toxicity in vivo acute oral test vitro cytotoxicity method. The current study aimed to assess the HRGD as part evaluation using rat human cell models. was administe...

Terrestrial-like exoplanets may obtain atmospheres from three primary sources: capture of nebular gases, degassing during accretion, and degassing from subsequent tectonic activity. Here we model degassing during accretion to estimate the range of atmospheric mass and composition on exoplanets ranging from 1 to 30 Earth masses. We use bulk compositions drawn from primitive and differentiated me...

OBJECTIVE To compare how and to what extent ingestion of hydrogen water and milk increase breath hydrogen in adults. METHODS Five subjects without specific diseases, ingested distilled or hydrogen water and milk as a reference material that could increase breath hydrogen. Their end-alveolar breath hydrogen was measured. RESULTS Ingestion of hydrogen water rapidly increased breath hydrogen t...

The Tissint meteorite, a picritic shergottite, fell to Earth in Morocco on the 18th of July 2011, and is only the fifth Martian meteorite witnessed to fall. Hydrogen isotope ratios and water contents are variable within different minerals in Tissint. Ringwoodite and shock melt pockets contain elevated D/H ratios relative to terrestrial values (dD = 761–4224‰). These high ratios in recrystallize...

The aim of this communication was to expand the results of numerical analyses performed by Sun et al. on their experimental solubility of fenofibrate in aqueous mixtures of ethanol and acetone at 298.15 K, in terms of the evaluation of the preferential solvation of this compound by the organic solvents and water in the saturated mixtures based on the inverse Kirkwood-Buff integrals (IKBI). ...

Interlayer structure, hydrogen-bond, hydration and swelling properties of glycine intercalated layered double hydroxides (LDHs-Gly) were investigated with molecular dynamics (MD) methods. The results show that the interlayer spacing dc increases as hydration level increases. The computed hydration energies reach the most negative values at low water contents and change rapidly over the range 1 ...

BACKGROUND Hydrogen, a popular antioxidant gas, can selectively reduce cytotoxic oxygen radicals and has been found to protect against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury of multiple organs. Acute neuronal death during I/R has been attributed to loss of mitochondrial permeability transition coupled with mitochondrial dysfunction. This study was designed to investigate the potential therapeutic ef...
