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.

Non-equilibrium plasma prevention of Schistosoma japonicum transmission

TL;DR: Reactive oxygen species, such as O atoms, abundant in O2 plasma and NO in air plasma play a major role in killing of S. japonicum cercariae via oxidation mechanisms, a system that may be more appropriate for scale-up and integration into existing water treatment processes.

Degradation of tetracycline by atmospheric-pressure non-thermal plasma: Enhanced performance, degradation mechanism, and toxicity evaluation

TL;DR: In this article , atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma (NTP) was used to treat tetracycline in water and investigated the involved degradation mechanism, where enhanced degradation efficiency was acquired and investigated, and the degradation mechanism by the plasma-generated active species were explored.

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.
