Volume production of hydrogen negative ion H(-) is studied in pure hydrogen plasmas using a grid bias method for plasma parameter control. The purposes of the present study are as follows. One is to investigate the possibility of controlling plasma parameters with a grid bias method in dc discharge plasmas; the other is to realize efficient negative ion production in H(2) plasmas and to discuss...

introduction cold plasma is a self-sterilized, painless, and non-contact method in surgeries. these properties allow it to be applied to the living tissues and heat-sensitive parts. the aim of this study was to design a new cold plasma producer device and evaluate the effects of cold argon plasma on decreasing the coagulation time of blood drop in vitro and that of the injured liver blood in vi...

Human neonates are highly susceptible to infection, which may be due in part to impaired innate immune function. Neonatal Toll-like receptor (TLR) responses are biased against the generation of pro-inflammatory/Th1-polarizing cytokines, yet the underlying mechanisms are incompletely defined. Here, we demonstrate that neonatal plasma polarizes TLR4-mediated cytokine production. When exposed to c...

Nitric oxide (NO) regulates numerous processes during endotoxemia and inflammation. However, the sequential changes in whole body (Wb) nitric oxide (NO) production during endotoxemia in vivo remain to be clarified. Male Swiss mice were injected intraperitoneally with saline (control group) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS group). After 0, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, and 24 h, animals received a primed constant i...

The use of plasma treatment in agriculture has shown promising results improving seed germination and crop production. In this work, we have investigated the effects atmospheric pressure on wheat production qualities. Dielectric barrier discharge plasma-activated water (PAW) made by gliding been used for treatment. Our show that plasma-treated seeds better rates higher Among various times teste...

background: there are varieties of purification techniques for separation of human plasma proteins such as salting out, ion exchange chromatography, and ethanol fractionation. there are limitations for each method, for example in salting out method, the salt has to be removed in an additional step. ion exchange chromatography is difficult for scaling up, and plasma fractionation is a time consu...
