Aqueous Reactive Oxygen Species Induced by He + O 2 Plasmas: Chemistry Pathways and Dosage Control Approaches

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemistry pathways among various aqueous reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by He+O2 plasmas are investigated by a numerical model, and the impacts of changes in plasma and solution conditions on the ROS concentrations are studied as well.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nontarget Biomolecules Alter Macromolecular Changes Induced by Bactericidal Low–Temperature Plasma

TL;DR: The results indicate that the redox reactions of LTP-generated RONS with nontarget biomolecules resulted in a RONS composition with reduced bactericidal activity, and the chemical composition of the bacterial environment should be considered in the development of L TP for antimicrobial treatment, and may affect other biomedical applications as well.

Human health risk evaluation of a microwave-driven atmospheric plasma jet as medical device

TL;DR: In this article, a microwave-driven atmospheric plasma jet (APJ) was used for medical applications, and the results of the experiments indicate a high potential of the plasma jet to be used as a medical device exhibiting low gas temperatures up to 34°C.

Penetration and Microbial Inactivation by High Voltage Atmospheric Cold Plasma in Semi-Solid Material

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HVACP can be an effective non-thermal technology to control or even eliminate bacteria populations in semi-solid foods.

On the penetration of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species generated by a plasma jet into and through mice skin with/without stratum corneum

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of stratum corneum (SC) on the penetration of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) generated by a plasma jet penetrating through and left in the skin after the plasma treatment are measured.

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

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.
