Malignant ascites in hepatocellular carcinoma is usually a sign of advanced disease and poor prognosis and is also
thought to be associated with chronic inflammation mediated by Neutrophil Extracellular Trap-networks (NETs).
Whereas ozone, a strong oxidant, has significant antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, its effectiveness in
treating malignant liver ascites is unclear. cOzone showed significant anti-peritoneal fluid production properties in
H22 tumor-bearing mice, and ozone reduced peritoneal fluid production by activating AMPK and up-regulating
SR-A phagocytosis Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs) to reduce the production of NETs. This
suggests that ozone could be used as a new drug for the treatment of malignant ascites in hepatocellular carcinoma... View More»
