Bacterial Decontamination of Water-Containing Objects Using Piezoelectric Direct Discharge Plasma and Plasma Jet.

Cold atmospheric plasma has become a widespread tool in bacterial decontamination, harnessing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species to neutralize bacteria on surfaces and in the air. This technology is often employed in healthcare, food processing, water treatment, etc. One of the most energy-efficient and universal methods for creating cold atmospheric plasma is the initiation of a piezoelectric direct discharge.

The Role of Autophagy and Apoptosis in the Combined Action of Plasma-Treated Saline, Doxorubicin, and Medroxyprogesterone Acetate on K562 Myeloid Leukaemia Cells.

The anti-cancer properties of plasma-treated solutions (PTS) and their interaction with drugs are one of the most popular topics in modern plasma medicine. Our research involved comparing the effects of four physiological saline solutions (0.9% NaCl, Ringer's solution, Hank's Balanced Salt Solution, Hank's Balanced Salt Solution with amino acids added in concentrations observed in the human blood) treated with cold atmospheric plasma and studying the combined cytotoxic effect of PTS with doxorubicin and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA).
