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.

Excellent Adhesive Performance for the Thermal Insulation Attribute to Micromorphology Regulation and Controllable Injection of Oxygen‐Containing Groups by Low Temperature Plasma Treatment

TL;DR: In this paper , a low temperature plasma (LTP) surface treatment technology operated under atmospheric conditions with air as the treatment atmosphere is developed for micromorphology regulation and controllable injection of oxygen-containing groups on the surface of EPDM thermal insulation to achieve excellent adhesion performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observations of diffusion-limited aggregation-like patterns by atmospheric plasma jet

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the observations of diffusion-limited aggregation-like patterns during the thin film removal process by an atmospheric plasma jet, which have various structures like dense branching and treelike patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the possible mechanisms of the selective effect of a non‐equilibrium plasma on healthy and cancer cells in a physiological solution

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discussed possible mechanisms for the selective effect of weakly ionized non-equilibrium plasma and currents in electrolyte on healthy and cancerous cells in physiological saline in a Petri dish.
Journal ArticleDOI

How living cells are affected during the cold atmospheric pressure plasma treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of H2O2, NO and O2 on the living cell's membrane are investigated in biological conditions, and a new definition of the surface area assigned to each phospholipid (APL) is introduced.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

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.
