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.

Estimation of excitation temperature by duty ratio of observed period in non-equilibrium plasma

TL;DR: In this article, the excitation temperature of atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium (cold) plasma was investigated using a line-pair method, where an atmospheric cold plasma was intermittently generated using a quartz tube, a rare gas, and a foil electrode by applying highvoltage alternating current.

Emission properties of apokamp discharge at atmospheric pressure in air, argon, and helium

TL;DR: In this paper, the emission spectra of the plasma jet of apokamp discharge in air, helium, and argon are studied, and it is shown that, in helium, the emission of the diffuse part of Apokamp is dominated by N2 and N2 +, while emission of “appendage” display lines and bands of He, N2, N 2 +, O, and OH.

Origin of hydroxyl radicals in a weakly ionized plasma-facing liquid

TL;DR: In this paper, the contribution of photo-induced hydroxyl radical (OH) generation in PFLs was investigated and it was shown that additional light exposure is an effective way to enhance OH production in a PFL.

Numerical and Experimental Studies on the Interactions Between the Radio-Frequency Glow Discharge Plasma Jet and the Shielding Gas at Atmosphere

TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction between the shielding gas and the radio-frequency atmospheric-pressure glow discharge plasma jet is studied numerically and experimentally, and a long helium-shielding plasma jet with a length of 34-35 mm is obtained.

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.
