Summary: Skin diseases can be categorized into infectious diseases, non-infectious inflammatory diseases, cancers, and wounds. The underlying causes include microbial infections, autoimmune responses, abnormal cellular proliferation or differentiation, and excessive production of inflammatory factors. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), as an innovative and non-invasive therapeutic approach, has shown promising efficacy in dermatology by inhibiting infections, promoting wound healing, suppressing cancer growth, and improving psoriasis or vitiligo lesions. This review summarizes recent advances in CAP therapies for various skin diseases and proposes future strategies for increasing effectiveness and expanding clinical indications.

Summary: We introduce a versatile drug-loaded composite hydrogel that can simultaneously deliver a drug and CAP-generated molecules in a tissue target when activated by an argon-based cold atmospheric plasma jet. We demonstrated this concept by encapsulating gentamicin in sodium polyacrylate particles dispersed within a poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel matrix. The resulting gentamicin-PAA-PVA composite hydrogel can release gentamicin and effectively eradicate bacteria, including those in planktonic state and biofilm, when activated by CAP. The concept of the composite hydrogel can also be applied to other antimicrobial agents like cetrimide and silver, and activated by any dielectric barrier discharge CAP device.

Summary: In this study, the authors investigated the inactivation effect of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) combined with plasma-activated water (PAW) treatment on two types of fungi. The results showed that the combination of short-term CAP treatment and long-term PAW treatment significantly reduced the fungi compared to the single CAP approach. Comparative analysis revealed that different reactive oxygen and nitrogen species played a role in the inactivation of fungi during the combination treatment. The synergistic effect was attributed to the increasing intracellular reactive species-induced damage to the fungal membrane and mitochondria. This study provides new insights into the optimal application of low-temperature plasma technology in fungal disinfection.

Summary: Since the development of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), significant progress has been made in the application of CAP in medicine. In this study, we developed two combined plasma sources to produce in situ plasma-activated air-driven water mist (PAAWM). The PAAWM showed effective antitumor efficacy against both chemosensitive and chemoresistant hepatocellular carcinoma cells, suggesting its potential use alone or in combination with other treatments.

Summary: The study compared gas-liquid DBD and plasma microbubbles (PMB) in terms of pollutant destruction mechanisms, plasma-activated water composition, and cost-effectiveness. Gas-liquid DBD showed higher concentrations of long-lived species and a significant decrease in solution pH, while PMB had lower concentrations of long-lived species and near-neutral pH. PMB demonstrated advantages such as higher .OH concentrations, faster degradation kinetics, and lower energy requirements compared to gas-liquid DBD. The study provides insights for the further development of plasma-based wastewater treatment.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of cold plasma-activated bubbles in treating algal-impacted waters. The results showed that both air and oxygen-activated bubbles were effective in reducing cell numbers and increasing cell damage and inactivation. However, oxygen-activated bubbles were preferred due to lower nitrite and nitrate concentrations in the treated water. The study also found that different reactive species had varying impacts on algal cell removal and damage.

Summary: Plasma-treated water (PTW) shows antimicrobial potential against Pseudomonas fluorescence, whether it is in suspended cells or organized in biofilms. Therefore, our aim is to generate an analog of PTW (anPTW) and compare its antimicrobial efficiency with freshly generated PTW. Additionally, solutions of traceable compounds of PTW are mixed based on their concentrations. Suspended cells and mature biofilms of P. fluorescence are treated with PTW from a microwave-driven plasma source as references. The antimicrobial efficiency of all solutions is tested using a combination of proliferation, XTT, and live-dead assays. The test results demonstrate the antimicrobial power of PTW, suggesting the presence of more active ingredients than the traceable compounds HNO3, HNO2, H2O2, or their combined mixture.

Summary: The usage of fungicides is potentially harmful to the environment and organisms, prompting researchers to explore alternatives such as Plasma-activated water (PAW) for inactivating phytopathogens. The study found that PAW significantly inhibited spore activity and reduced symptoms caused by Fusarium graminearum, inducing changes in cell wall sculpturing, membrane permeability, and mitochondrial function. This suggests the potential of PAW as a fungicidal agent or supplement to traditional fungicides.

Summary: The study evaluated the application of megasonic waves in improving the degumming step of seed oil refining, leading to increased recovery of entrained oil in gums and higher gum yield. Megasonic-assisted acid degumming effectively reduced residual phosphorus content in canola and soybean oils, but was less effective in sunflower oil. Moreover, the megasonic treatment significantly reduced the loss of gum-entrained oil and enhanced the gum yield from the degumming process of canola, soybean, and sunflower oils.

Summary: This research demonstrates the controlled synthesis of graft and branched copolymers without intermediate purification using one-pot or one-pass processes. The formation of poly(methacrylate) copolymers with pendent reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent functionalities was performed through selective photoactivation, followed by a nonselective photoinduced chain extension to provide tailored graft copolymers. By alternating the light sources, a range of macromolecular architectures could be prepared from the same starting materials, showing the versatility and flexibility of this approach.

Summary: RSM and CCD techniques were used to optimize the molecular structures of β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) and α-lactalbumin (α-La) with reduced human IgE-reactivity through high-hydrostatic-pressure (HHP) processing. The study found that temperature, pressure, and the interaction between temperature and time had significant effects on the molecular changes of β-Lg induced by HHP. The optimal conditions resulted in minimal IgG-binding and undetectable human IgE-binding.

Summary: This research investigates the effect of different ultrasonic powers on the quality of pork meatballs. The results show that pork meatballs cooked with ultrasound at 450 W have the most uniform and smooth structures. The water retention capacity of the meatballs first increased and then decreased with increasing ultrasonic powers. The study concludes that appropriate ultrasonic power can improve the physicochemical properties and microstructure of pork meatballs, making ultrasonic technology an effective method for improving meat product quality.

Summary: Dry-aged beef provides a unique taste experience with superior qualities compared to traditional beef. This study analyzed the factors influencing consumers' intention to consume and willingness to pay for dry-aged beef, using an extended version of the Theory of Planned Behavior model that includes meat-eater identity. The results showed that meat-eater identity significantly influenced participants' intention to consume, with the most significant impact mediated by attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Furthermore, the intention to consume strongly influenced the willingness to pay for dry-aged beef.

Summary: The consumption of beef is expected to increase globally, which requires the use of Bos indicus cattle that are well-adapted to harsh climates. However, beef from these cattle is considered inferior due to lower tenderness values and reduced intramuscular fat content. Despite these drawbacks, the benefits of using Bos indicus genetics are significant and cannot be ignored.
