TLDR
In this paper, the most important mechanisms of generation and transport of the key species in the plasmas of atmospheric-pressure plasma jets and other non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasms are introduced and examined from the viewpoint of their applications in plasma hygiene and medicine and other relevant fields.

Experimental conditions for generation of space-charge limitation in atmospheric pressure non-thermal-equilibrium argon plasma

TL;DR: The dependence of the charge of an atmospheric-pressure nonthermal-equilibrium argon plasma incident on a copper object under floating conditions was investigated in this article, where the drift velocity of the plasma charge was estimated based on the relationship between the difference in measurement times considering the positions of the current monitors.

Non-Thermal Atmospheric Pressure Argon-Sourced Plasma Flux Promotes Wound Healing of Burn Wounds and Burn Wounds with Infection in Mice through the Anti-Inflammatory Macrophages

TL;DR: Plasma flux induced anti-inflammatory macrophages and promoted the burn-wound healing process partly through the decrease in macrophage NF-κB, hence, plasma flux treatment should be tested in patients with burn wounds.

The investigation of OH radicals produced in a DC glow discharge by laser-induced fluorescence spectrometry

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of discharge current and gas pressure on the production and quenching processes of OH radicals are investigated by a laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) system.

The mechanism study of low-pressure air plasma cleaning on large-aperture optical surface unraveled by experiment and reactive molecular dynamics simulation

TL;DR: In this article , experiments and reactive molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to unravel the reaction mechanism between the benchmark organic contaminants of dibutyl phthalate and air plasma, and the overall evolution behaviors of excited molecular species and radical signals from air plasma as a reference to simulations.

Radiation Intensity Profiles at Different Stages of the Formation of Apokamp Discharge

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study of the heat release process in apokamp discharge was carried out via the plotting of intensity charts, which confirmed the need for gas heating near the discharge channel to form streamers.

Superoxide Dismutase AN ENZYMIC FUNCTION FOR ERYTHROCUPREIN (HEMOCUPREIN)

TL;DR: The demonstration that O2·- can reduce ferricytochrome c and tetranitromethane, and that superoxide dismutase, by competing for the superoxide radicals, can markedly inhibit these reactions, is demonstrated.

Free Radicals in the Physiological Control of Cell Function

Wulf Dröge
TL;DR: There is growing evidence that aging involves, in addition, progressive changes in free radical-mediated regulatory processes that result in altered gene expression.

Nitric Oxide and Peroxynitrite in Health and Disease

TL;DR: Current evidence indicates that most of the cytotoxicity attributed to NO is rather due to peroxynitrite, produced from the diffusion-controlled reaction between NO and another free radical, the superoxide anion, which is presented in detail in this review.

Photodynamic therapy for cancer

TL;DR: PDT is being tested in the clinic for use in oncology — to treat cancers of the head and neck, brain, lung, pancreas, intraperitoneal cavity, breast, prostate and skin.

Photodynamic Therapy

C.J. Gomer
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of mechanisms of subcellular and tumor localization of photosensitizing agents, as well as of molecular, cellular, and tumor responses associated with photodynamic therapy, are discussed.
