Beneficial effects of cold atmospheric plasma on inflammatory phase of diabetic foot ulcers; a randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: The healing process is impaired in diabetic wounds like the other types of chronic wounds. Cytokines, and growth factors are valuable candidates for determination of wound vitality or duration. The aim of this study is to introduce a beneficial method to stop the inflammatory phase and infection in the wound healing process for accelerating the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.

Cold atmospheric plasma as an effective method to treat diabetic foot ulcers: A randomized clinical trial.

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) was shown to decrease bacterial load in chronic wounds. It was also presented as a novel approach to healing wounds in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. We aimed to examine the first randomized clinical trial for the use of CAP in diabetic foot ulcers.

Utilizing the micron sized non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma inside the animal body for the tumor treatment application.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of micron sized non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma inside the animal body on breast cancer tumor. The μ-plasma jet consists of micron sized hollow tube in which pure helium gas is ionized by high voltage (4 kV) and high frequency (6 kHz). The efficiency of the plasma treatment in killing cancer cells was first investigated by cell viability measurements of treated 4T1 cells using flow cytometry and cell cycle analysis.

Investigation on the effects of the atmospheric pressure plasma on wound healing in diabetic rats.

It is estimated that 15 percent of individuals with diabetes mellitus suffer from diabetic ulcers worldwide. The aim of this study is to present a non-thermal atmospheric plasma treatment as a novel therapy for diabetic wounds. The plasma consists of ionized helium gas that is produced by a high-voltage (8 kV) and high-frequency (6 kHz) power supply.
