Continuous flow removal of acid fuchsine by dielectric barrier discharge plasma water bed enhanced by activated carbon adsorption

TL;DR: A dielectric barrier discharge plasma water bed system was designed and then coupled with granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption to rapidly remove acid fuchsine (AF) with high efficiency.

Interaction of argon and helium plasma jets and jets arrays with account for gravity

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental and computational study of the properties of a single jet and two-tube jet arrays operating in argon and helium was conducted. And the effects of buoyancy forces on the jet-to-jet interaction of the plasma plumes are also investigated.

A Critical Review on Selected External Physical Cues and Modulation of Cell Behavior: Magnetic Nanoparticles, Non-thermal Plasma and Lasers.

TL;DR: This review describes the latest research advances in biomedical applications of external physical cues using high-gradient magnetic fields in nanoparticle-mediated cell responses; non-thermal plasma as a novel bactericidal agent; highlights in understanding of cellular mechanisms of laser irradiation.

On cold atmospheric-pressure plasma jet induced DNA damage in cells

TL;DR: In this paper, two fluorescence-based methodologies are used to measure DNA strand breaks and to investigate the potential role of the hydroxyl radical (•OH) in cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) jet treatment.

Targeting Nrf2-mediated heme oxygenase-1 enhances non-thermal plasma-induced cell death in non-small-cell lung cancer A549 cells.

TL;DR: Findings revealed that HO-1 could be considered as a potential target to improve the effect of NTP in cancer therapy, and a higher resistance to NTP exposure of A549 cell compared to H1299 and H322 cells was found to be linked to its higher basal level ofHO-1 expression.

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.
