We developed an in silico approach to model B16F10 melanoma cell response a helium atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) or/and doxorubicin drug (DOX). The is informed by relevant data from previously published vitro experiments (cancer viability), providing detailed information on (i) population number (Ncell) development during incubation and (ii) probability values for apoptosis (%PApoptosi...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) often causes serious infections in hospitals. Vancomycin is widely accepted as the standard therapy for MRSA infection, but its widespread use has resulted generation of vancomycin-resistant S. (VRSA). To reduce potential risk and VRSA emergence aquatic environments, we investigated degradation methicillin vancomycin by cold atmospheric pressur...

This study proposes a new nanostructured conductive polymer synthesis method that can grow the single-crystalline high-density plasma-polymerized nanoparticle structures by enhancing the sufficient nucleation and fragmentation of the pyrrole monomer using a novel atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) technique. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT...

Atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) have been identified as a promising tool for plasma medicine. This paper aims to demonstrate the importance of using model-based feedback control strategies for safe, reproducible, and therapeutically effective application of APPJs for dose delivery to a target substrate. Key challenges in model-based control of APPJs arise from: (i) the multivariable, n...

This work presents a study on the preparation of plasma-polymerized aniline (pPANI) nanofibers and nanoparticles by an intense plasma cloud type atmospheric pressure plasma jets (iPC-APPJ) device with a single bundle of three glass tubes. The nano size polymer was obtained at a sinusoidal wave with a peak value of 8 kV and a frequency of 26 kHz under ambient air. Discharge currents, photo-senso...

BACKGROUND Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) with its many bioactive properties has defined a new medical field: the plasma medicine. However, in the related form of high-frequency therapy, CAP was even used briefly a century ago. The aim of this study was to review historic CAP treatments and to obtain data regarding the antimicrobial efficacy of a historical high-frequency plasma device....

An enzymatic biofuel cell cathode was elaborated by nano-structuration and functionalization of graphite using two consecutive plasma treatments before immobilization laccase as a biocatalyst to perform oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) direct electron transfer ((DET). Nano-structuration surfaces synthesis vertical graphen-like carbon nanowalls (CNWs) performed microwave excited enhanced chemical...

A suitable technique for localized surface treatment of solid materials is an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ). The properties the APPJ often depend on small details like concentration gaseous impurities what influences kinetics. simplest and most useful configuration presented, characterized by optical emission spectroscopy (OES), results are discussed in view various papers. Furthermore...

Recent studies have shown the in vitro neuro-protective functions of atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) against multiple pathological injuries during ischaemic stroke (IS). However, whether APP treatment exerts a therapeutic effect on rat IS model remains unclear. Here, basis needle-to-ring dielectric barrier discharge, an jet (APPJ) was designed, with Helium as working gas which driven by sinus...

Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet (NTAPPJ) was shown as a promising tool for sterilization, treatment of chronic wounds & tumors. A portable and facile NTAPPJ system will broaden the application many other biomedical applications. This paper demonstrates feasibility customized dimmer controllable (APPJ) in treating HeLa cells. torch energized at 8 kVpp 35 kHz from neon transformer...
