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.

Improvement of Electrical Measurement of a Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Jet

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the position of the current probe on electrical measurements as well as those of typical materials on the current of a He plasma jet during the interaction of the plasma jet with surface materials were investigated using a dielectric barrier discharge reactor, in which the two electrodes were isolated from ambient air by electrical insulating oil.

Effect of Cold Plasma on Meat Cholesterol and Lipid Oxidation.

TL;DR: Cold atmospheric plasma was not found to have any impact on the cholesterol or lipid content, however, higher peroxide and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values were found for the treated samples, indicating that plasma can induce the acceleration of primary and secondary lipid oxidation.

Promotion of Wound Healing of Genetic Diabetic Mice Treated by a Cold Atmospheric Plasma Jet

TL;DR: Experimental results show that the helium AP-DBD plasma jet treatment of wounds of genetic diabetic mice can regulate the secretion of transforming growth factor (TGF) and fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), limit the inflammatory response and excessive cell proliferation, accelerate the process of re-epithelialization, and consequently, promote the chronic wound healing process.

An atmospheric‐pressure microplasma array produced by using graphite coating electrodes

TL;DR: In this article, a nonthermal atmospheric-pressure microplasma array (APMPA) has been characterized and the power in the plasma source region and the one transferred onto the dielectric surface are calculated by plotting Lissajous figures.

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.
