New experiments using atmospheric pressure plasma have found large application in biology and medicine. Cold air plasma treatment can be used to modify the surface of different materials for a variety of applications. The emission spectroscopy data confirmed the presence of different reactive species in the discharge gap. Surface treatments using this dry plasma technology offer an environmentally friendly alternative to the conventional wet chemical methods of microorganisms destruction, biological tissue treatment, in vitro and in vivo cell treatment. The use of cold plasma technology removes contaminants at the nanometer level.

The present research reported the effects of structural properties and immunoreactivity of celiac-toxic peptides and wheat storage proteins modified by cold jet atmospheric pressure (CJAP) plasma. It could generate numerous high-energy excited atoms, photons, electrons, and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, including O3, H2O2, •OH, NO2− and NO3− etc., to modify two model peptides and wheat storage proteins. The Orbitrap HR-LC-MS/MS was utilized to identify and quantify CJAP plasma-modified model peptide products. Backbone cleavage of QQPFP and PQPQLPY at specific proline and glutamine residues, accompanied by hydroxylation at the aromatic ring of phenylalanine and tyrosine residues, contributed to the reduction and modification of celiac-toxic peptides. Apart from fragmentation, oxidation, and agglomeration states were evaluated, including carbonyl formation and the decline of γ-gliadin. The immunoreactivity of gliadin extract declined over time, demonstrating a significant decrease by 51.95% after 60 min of CJAP plasma treatment in vitro. The CJAP plasma could initiate depolymerization of gluten polymer, thereby reducing the amounts of large-sized polymers. In conclusion, CJAP plasma could be employed as a potential technique in the modification and reduction of celiac-toxic peptides and wheat storage proteins.

Plasma is becoming increasingly adopted in bioapplications such as plasma medicine and agriculture. This study investigates the interaction between plasma and molecules in living tissues, focusing on plasma-protein interactions. To this end, the reaction of air-pressure air plasma with NH2-terminated self-assembled monolayer is investigated by infrared spectroscopy in multiple internal reflection geometry. The atmospheric-pressure plasma decomposed the NH2components, the characteristic units of proteins. The decomposition is attributed to water clusters generated in the plasma, indicating that protein decomposition by plasma requires humid air.

This study was undertaken to compare new bone formation between non-expired and expired bovine-derived xenogeneic bone substitute (expired, out-of-use period) and to evaluate the efficacy of argon (Ar)-based atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) treatment on expired bone substitute in rat calvarial defect. The groups were divided into (1) Non/Expired group (Using regular xenografts), (2) Expired group (Using expired xenografts), and (3) Ar/Expired group (Using Ar-based APP treated expired xenografts). Surface observation and cell experiments were performed in vitro. Twelve rats were used for in vivo experiment and the bony defects were created on the middle of the cranium. The bone substitute of each group was implanted into the defective site. After 4 weeks, all the rats were sacrificed, and the volumetric, histologic, and histometric analyses were performed. In the results of osteogenic differentiation and mineralization, Non/Expired and Ar/Expired groups were significantly higher than Expired group (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between groups in the animal study (p > 0.05). Within the limitations of this study, the surface treatment of Ar-based APP has a potential effect on the surface modification of bone grafts. However, there was no significant difference in bone regeneration ability between groups in vivo; thus, studies on APP to enhance bone regeneration should be carried out in the future.
