Cold atmospheric pressure plasma jet modulates Candida albicans virulence traits
In conclusion, He-CAPPJ was able to attenuate fungal adherence and morphogenesis with low cytotoxicity after short treatment times. Periods of exposure effective against biofilms were cytotoxic to Vero cells. He-CAPPJ did not show genotoxic effect. Therefore, He-CAPPJ has potential to be applied as an adjuvant in the treatment of C. albicans superficial infections. (Source: Clinical Plasma Medicine)

First Insights on Plasma Orthodontics - Application of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma to enhance the bond strength of orthodontic brackets
Conclusions Despite promising potential, surface conditioning with CAP could not improve the adhesive properties of GIC. By contrast, a decrease in shear bond strength was noticed after CAP treatment. Further investigations have to show whether it is possible to increase the retention values of other orthodontic adhesives by CAP application and thus take advantage of positive characteristics and reduce side effects.

The application of cold atmospheric plasma in medicine: The potential role of nitric oxide in plasma-induced effects
Publication date: Available online 12 May 2016 Source:Clinical Plasma Medicine Author(s): Christoph V. Suschek, Christian Opländer 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 NO bioavailability, CAP sou...
