The effect of skin moisture on the density distribution of OH and O close to the skin surface

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of skin moisture on the density distribution of OH and O close to the surface of the ex vivo pig skin is investigated by using laser-induced fluorescence technology.

Electric characteristic and cavitation bubble dynamics using underwater pulsed discharge

TL;DR: In this article, an underwater pulsed discharger is presented to induce and investigate the cavitation bubble assisted with a high-speed camera, and three aspects, including the characteristic of the discharge with different applied voltages and conductivities, the evolution of the Cavitation bubble profile, and the energy efficiency of cavitation burst inducing, are investigated.

GSH Modification as a Marker for Plasma Source and Biological Response Comparison to Plasma Treatment

TL;DR: Comparisons of medical plasma sources could not rely on measurements of long-lived chemical species; rather, modifications of biomolecules (such as glutathione) might be better predictors of cellular responses to plasma exposure.

Comparison on the Absolute Concentrations of Hydroxyl and Atomic Oxygen Generated by Five Different Nonequilibrium Atmospheric-Pressure Plasma Jets

TL;DR: In this paper, the absolute concentrations of hydroxyl (OH) and atomic oxygen (O) generated by five different configurations of widely used N-APPJ are compared, and the effects of different operating parameters, including the amplitude of the applied voltage, frequency, the content of the working gas and the gas flow rate, on their concentrations are investigated.

Effects of Cold Atmospheric Plasma Jet Treatment on the Seed Germination and Enhancement Growth of Watermelon

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of cold plasma on water uptake by seeds, seed germination and vigor of seedlings of watermelon seeds using cold plasma jet at atmospheric pressure and room temperature were investigated.

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.
