Clinical Plasma Medicine
The application of cold atmospheric plasma in medicine
The potential role of nitric oxide in plasma-induced effects
The use of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma(CAP)in medicine is promising and presents a new
approach in the treatment of chronic wounds and skin infections
Many CAPs contain considerable amounts of nitric oxide(NO) and nitrogen dioxide(NO2),which induce acidification and nitrite/nitrate accumulation in treated tissues/liquids.
Since many pathological conditions,such as impaired wound
healing and microcirculation,are often related to restricted bioavailability,
C.a.p sources may serve as Nitric Oxide delivery systems.Considering the striking similarities between the biological results obtained by CAP
and Ntric Oxide treatment,
