Media exposed to atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) produce reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-) being among the most detected due their relatively long lifetime. In this study, a standardized microwave-excited (ME) APP jet (APPJ) source was employed gaseous RONS treat liquid samples. The commercially available jet, which generated argon utilizing coaxial transmission line resonator at operating frequency of 2.45 GHz. An ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer used measure concentrations H2O2 NO3- in plasma-activated media (PAM). Three different types (deionized water, Hank's balanced salt solution, cell culture solution Dulbecco's modified eagles medium [DMEM]) were utilized as Among these media, plasma-treated DMEM observed have highest levels NO3-.

Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disorder that requires new treatment strategies. Linagliptin, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor proven osteogenic agent in diabetes-linked loss. However, poor solubility, low oral bioavailability, and inadequate bone-targeting limit its use osteoporosis. We have successfully developed the bone-targeted liposomes of linagliptin using an aspartic acid conjugate i.e., poly (aspartic acid-co-lactide)-1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho ethanolamine (PAL-DPPE), which was prior synthesized identified FTIR & NMR.

Melanoma is responsible for the majority of skin cancer deaths, but there are ways to combat this deadly disease. One method using anti-neoplastic agents, such as Doxorubicin (DOX). Unfortunately, DOX can be toxic and may lead drug resistance. However, researchers excited about potential Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) treatment cells overcome resistance selectively. To better understand effectiveness combination CAP on melanoma cell viability, cytotoxicity, death, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation meta-analysis in study. 41 studies out 121 met our inclusion criteria. The pooled analysis found that had significant effect viability (ES = 6.75, 95% CI 1.65 11.85, I2 71%) cytotoxicity 11.71, 3.69 19.73, 56%). however, no statistically association was between death with treatment.
