Medical gases are pharmaceutical molecules which offer solutions to a wide array of medical needs. This can range from use in burn and stroke victims to hypoxia therapy in children. More specifically however, gases such as oxygen, helium, xenon, and hydrogen have recently come under increased exploration for their potential theraputic use with various brain disease states including hypoxia-ischemia, cerebral hemorrhages, and traumatic brain injuries. As a result, this article will review the various advances in medical gas research and discuss the potential therapeutic applications and mechanisms with regards to the field of neurobiology.
医用气体是一类药物分子，可满足广泛的医疗需求。其应用范围涵盖烧伤和中风患者，以及儿童的缺氧治疗。然而，更具体地说，诸如氧气、氦气、氙气和氢气等气体，最近因其在包括缺氧缺血、脑出血和创伤性脑损伤在内的各种脑部疾病状态下的潜在治疗用途，而受到越来越多的探索。因此，本文将综述医用气体研究的各项进展，并讨论其在神经生物学领域的潜在治疗应用和机制。
