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.

Effects of cold atmospheric plasma on mackerel lipid and protein oxidation during storage

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of cold atmospheric plasma on the shelf-life stability of commercially packaged mackerel fillets and found no significant effects on lipid oxidation between the control samples and those treated at 80'kV for extended treatment times of 5'min using an in-package plasma system.

Initiating radical reactions with non-thermal plasmas

TL;DR: Non-thermal plasmas were used as radical initiators in three radical chain reactions: dehalogenation, 5-exo-trig cyclisation and trifluoromethylation with the Togni II reagent, giving high yields in all reactions under optimised conditions.

Effects of the tube diameter on the propagation of helium plasma plume via electric field measurement

TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of the length of plume, propagation velocity, electric field in the streamer head, and propagation mode transition on the tube diameter varied in the range of 0.07-4
Journal ArticleDOI

The energy tree: Non-equilibrium energy transfer in collision-dominated plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of the energy tree is employed for analysing multiple synergistic effects of the external electric fields, the nature and density of species of the operating gases, and the features of the environment surrounding the discharges.

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.
