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.

The Effect of Oxygen Admixture with Argon Discharges on the Impact Parameters of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet Characteristics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of varying oxygen content in the admixture discharge of a dry argon discharge and a wet oxygen/argon discharge for alternating current atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs).

trans‐Stilbene epoxidation by He+O2 atmospheric pressure plasma: Epoxidation without oxidant waste stream

TL;DR: In this article, He+O2 plasma can be used to drive the epoxidation of alkenes in solution, in a process that generates epoxides without oxidant and runs at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial Variations of Plasma Parameters in a Hollow Cathode Discharge

TL;DR: In this paper, the transformations of the electron energy distribution, their concentration, and plasma space potential along the discharge gap between the hollow rectangular cathode and the mesh anode were experimentally studied.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
