Introduction: The photo-thermal therapy by nanoparticles has been recently known as an efficient strategy for the cancer treatment. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively studied in biomedical application due to the easy uptake and high permeability in the cells, biocompatibility in biological environments and also their unique electrical, thermal properties. They genera...

Treatment of NOx in diesel engine exhaust represents a big opportunity for the environmental application of low-temperature plasmas. In this paper NOx conversion to N2 was investigated by Plasma/Catalyst System Catalytic activity was enhanced by the assistance of plasma ,and the plasma/Catalyst system showed higher NOx conversion. It is shown that the plasma by itself cannot chemically reduce N...

successful endodontic treatment requires thorough knowledge regarding each root canal system of any tooth and probability of extra canals should be considered. second maxillary molar with two palatal root canals is not frequent and its incidence reported in literatures is about 0.4–2%. the present case report describes non-surgical retreatment of maxillary second molar with two palatal root can...

Thermal plasmas and lasers have been widely used in medicine to cut, ablate and cauterize tissues through heating; in contrast, non-thermal plasma produces no heat, so its effects can be selective. In order to exploit the potential for clinical applications, including wound healing, sterilization, blood coagulation, and cancer treatment, a mechanistic understanding of the interaction of non-the...

The objective of current study was to determine the effects of non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) on physiological features of Black Cumin seeds. Black Cumin seeds were divided into 4 groups: one control group and three experimental groups. The experimental groups were exposed to NTAP for 5, 10 and 20 minutes, respectively. Then the seeds of the experimental and control groups grew for 21 da...
