The transdermal delivery system of nutrients, cosmetics, and drugs is particularly attractive for painless, noninvasive sustainable release. Recently, atmospheric pressure plasma techniques have been great interest to improve the drug absorption rate in delivery. Currently, plasma-mediated changes lipid composition stratum corneum are considered a possible mechanism increase permeability. Never...

Argon plasma coagulation is increasingly used in endoscopic haemostasis. This case report illustrates the potential for thermal injury at a staple line remote from the area of argon plasma coagulation treatment as a result of electrical arcing. Increasing numbers of colorectal anastomosis and reconstruction procedures are now being performed using stapling techniques and the use of argon plasma...

The results of spectral-fluorescent and diffuse-optical studies living tissues under the effect low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma jet in a mixture air argon are presented. Potential fluorophores identified coefficients optical absorption transport scattering determined. It was revealed irradiation tissue leads to an increase intensity fluorescence diffuse reflection coefficient, which...

Introduction The plasma-wall transition problem is relevant to most areas of plasma physics. In magnetically confined fusion devices, charged particles in the plasma edge can erode the wall, thus reducing the lifetime of the components facing the plasma. Energetic particles hitting the wall may deteriorate the quality of the plasma confinement, because high-Z impurities are released from the wa...

Success of the puff-and-pump radiating divertor approach depends sensitively on both the divertor magnetic geometry and the ion B B drift direction. In the puff-and-pump scenario used in this study, argon impurities were injected into the private flux region, while plasma flows into both the inner and outer divertors were enhanced by a combination of particle pumping near both divertor targets ...

In order to introduce carboxylic acid groups at the surface of poly (ethylene) ( P E ) films, an attempt was made to covalently link a preadsorbed layer of poly (acrylic acid) ( PAAc) on a P E film by an argon or tetrafluoromethane (CF,) plasma treatment. Surface analysis was performed by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and water contact angle measurements. I t was shown that by treatmen...

Hemoptysis is a frequent manifestation of a wide variety of diseases, with mild to life-threatening presentations. The diagnostic workup and the management of severe hemoptysis are often challenging. Advances in endoscopic techniques have led to different new therapeutic approaches. Cold saline, vasoconstrictive and antifibrinolytic agents, oxidized regenerated cellulose, biocompatible glue, la...

The effects of a nonthermal atmospheric plasma jet with argon and argon/oxygen (Ar/O<sub>2</sub>) gases on live human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) were studied to verify tooth vitality in the pulp-capping process. Using MTT assay, surviving hDPSCs after exposure for 1, 2, 3 min counted. First, pulsed frequency varied from 10 50 kHz 5 groups Ar Ar/O<sub>2</sub> jet. La...
