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.

Experimental investigation on the interaction of a nanopulsed plasma jet with a liquid target

TL;DR: In this article, an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) impinging on a liquid surface and the effects of changing the standoff distance, the applied peak voltage and the pulse repetition frequency, looking at them as variable parameters often used to optimize plasma surface processes are investigated.

A Filamentary Plasma Jet Generated by Argon Dielectric-Barrier Discharge in Ambient Air

TL;DR: In this paper, a filamentary dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) with a thin quartz tube was used to produce the filamentary plasma jet, which is only a single filament produced in each current pulse, and this filament is distorted in the long gas gap.

Critical Evaluation of the Interaction of Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species with Blood to Inform the Clinical Translation of Nonthermal Plasma Therapy.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NTP-generated RNS and H2O2 were stable in PBS but scavenged by different components of the blood, and the necessary considerations to choose the most optimal NTP modality for delivery of ROS/RNS to and via blood in the clinical context are discussed.

Surface plasma discharges for the preservation of fresh-cut apples: microbial inactivation and quality attributes

TL;DR: In this paper, a gas phase surface discharge plasma (SDP) reactor within an exposure chamber was used for the preservation of fresh-cut apples and the results showed that the microbial load reduction was strongly dependent on the storage time and preservation method.

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.
