Because strontium (Sr) is known to enhance bone growth, PEEK implants coated with strontium titanate (SrTiO3, STO) is expected to improve the bone growth around them. In this study, STO was deposited on model PEEK implants by magnetron sputtering deposition and its ability to release Sr2+ ions to a surrounding phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution was examined. It is found that, in an early stage of the deposition process, STO on a PEEK surface exhibits irregular surface structures with many holes. The amount of Sr stored in the STO film increases with the increasing film thickness but the release rate of Sr2+ ions from the STO film to the surrounding PBS also increases with the film thickness, limiting the duration of effectiveness of the STO-coated PEEK films. It is found, however, that a three-layer titanium (Ti)-STO-Ti film deposited on PEEK allows a steady release of Sr2+ ions to the surrounding PBS for an extended period.","PeriodicalId":53607,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Medicine","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135609787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is an urgent need for environment-friendly and novel disinfection methods to inactivate various viruses. In this study, we applied the technique of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) for virus disinfection. Particularly, we utilized the cold atmospheric plasma jet (CAPJ) and the plasma-activated solution (PAS) approaches for the treatment of bacteriophage MS2, and we added NaCl in the treatment system to enhance the disinfection efficiency. The inactivation effects under different CAPJ-PAS conditions using various plasma working gases were investigated. Also, the involved inactivation mechanisms due to respective active species were scrutinized. Our results showed that the addition of NaCl could considerably enhance the virus inactivation efficiency in the air/oxygen-CAPJ-PAS treatment, and during the direct CAPJ treatment, the primary inactivation factors were attributed to ·OH, 1O2, ONOOH and active chlorine, while for the indirect PAS treatment, the major inactivation contributors stemmed from 1O2 and active chlorine. This work therefore demonstrates the usefulness of NaCl in the CAPJ-PAS treatment in the virus inactivation and offers new perspectives on the application of CAP technology in disinfection of viruses.","PeriodicalId":53607,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Medicine","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134891176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A protective layer is often needed to prolong its service life. Thus, it is essential to use appropriate coating techniques to improve the mechanical properties and chemical stability of the substrate. This work developed a custom-built radio frequency magnetron sputtering system for the deposition of titanium (Ti)-based coatings, which were selected because of their reported biocompatibility and superior mechanical qualities. Titanium nitride (TiN), and titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) thin films were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel substrates and on INDOPLAS{texttrademark} sterile scalpel blades. TiN was grown using a Ti target while TiAlN used a Ti-Al combinatorial target. Both films were deposited using a 90:10 admixture of argon (Ar) and nitrogen (N) gases. The substrate bias was varied into three different potentials: 0, -100, and -200 V. Substrate heating of 200C was applied and the deposition time was set at 2 hours. The optimal parameters and material for surgical tools are found to be TiN deposited at -100 V and TiAlN deposited at -200 V substrate bias as they show the highest resistance to abrasion and corrosion, respectively, and without reducing the sharpness of the blades. This work aims to offer the medical community a practical and inexpensive method of protecting surgical instruments while extending service life.","PeriodicalId":53607,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Medicine","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135953184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cu:Se NPs were made using copper and selenium salts in aqueous solution as a precursor. The nanoparticles were examined using X-ray diffraction ,UV spectroscopy and FESEM, respectively. The ideal concentration (3:7) yields grains with a diameter of 17 nm . Morphology of the Cu:Se NPs were carried out using FESEM.
