This work aimed to compare the effects of helium and air surface micro-discharge (SMD) plasma on the microbial safety and quality of beef tissues. For the beef tissue model, the concentration and diffusion depth of hydroxyl radical and ozone have different change patterns over plasma treatment time and distance in helium and air SMD plasma. The inactivation efficiency of helium plasma depended on the plasma treatment time and distance, while the inactivation efficiency of air plasma only depended on the treatment time. For the fresh beef slices, air SMD plasma treatment exhibited a higher antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and E. coli than helium SMD plasma treatment (1.5 versus 0.9; 0.9 versus 0.28 log CFU/g at 10 min). However, air SMD plasma treatment caused more adverse effects on beef quality, leading to a smooth surface, extensive lipid oxidation, protein structure damage, low pH and discoloration compared to helium SMD plasma treatment. This work provides valuable guidelines for the working gas choice in the practical application of plasma to meat decontamination.

CARDIOVASCULAR RISK BEFORE AND AFTER SURGICAL TREATMENT OF SEVERE OBESITY.
Arq Bras Cir Dig
January 2025
Universidade de São Paulo, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Gastroenterology - São Paulo (SP), Brazil.
Background: Obesity is a predisposing factor for serious comorbidities, particularly those related to elevated cardiovascular mortality. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has been shown to be a useful indicator of patients with insulin resistance.
Aims: The aim of this study was to assess cardiovascular risk before and after surgical treatment of obesity.
Phase I Clinical Trial of High Doses of Seleno-L-methionine in Combination with Axitinib in Patients with Previously Treated Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, NY, United States.
Background: Data in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) xenografts defined the seleno-L-methionine (SLM) dose and the plasma selenium concentrations associated with the enhancement of HIF1α/2α degradation, stabilization of tumor vasculature, enhanced drug delivery, and efficacy of axitinib. The data provided the rationale for the development of this phase I clinical trial of SLM and axitinib in advanced or metastatic relapsed ccRCC.
Patients And Methods: Patients were ≥18 years with histologically and radiologically confirmed advanced or metastatic ccRCC who had received at least one prior systemic therapy, which could include axitinib (last dose ≥6 months prior to enrollment).
Plasma-Activated Water Boosts the Activity of Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenase and the Conversion of Chitin by a Chitinolytic Enzyme Cocktail.

The plasma-activated water (PAW) containing numerous reactive species can facilitate chitin degradation. Given the intricate interplay between PAW treatment and the diverse activities of chitinolytic enzymes, further investigation is imperative for enhancing the chitin bioconversion efficiency. This study revealed that PAW-treated chitin exhibited improved degradability toward LPMO10A, endochitinases ChtI, ChtII-B4C1, and exochitinase Chi-h.

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has emerged as a promising technology for neutralizing microbes, including multidrug-resistant strains. This study investigates CAP's potential as an alternative to traditional antimicrobial drugs for microbial inactivation. In the era of increasing antimicrobial resistance, there is a persistent need for alternative antimicrobial strategies.

Introduction: Elbow ailments are common, but conventional treatment modalities have shortcomings, offering only interim pain relief rather than targeting the underlying pathophysiology. The last two decades have seen a marked increase in the use of autologous peripheral blood-derived orthobiologics (APBOs), such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), to manage elbow disorders. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the most widely used APBO, but its efficacy remains debatable.
