Abstract: A method for measuring an electron nonextensive parameter of a plasma by using nonextensive statistical mechanics and electric probe is provided. The plasma is described by the nonextensive statistical mechanics and establishes a nonextensive single electric probe theory on the basis of this. The electron nonextensive parameter have been measured which cannot be measured by traditional single probe, and obtained more accurate electron temperature, plasma potential, electron density and floating potential than traditional single probe. The nonextensive electric probe plays a role in plasma diagnosis, which will measure the nonextensivity of plasma and improve the diagnostic accuracy of other plasma parameters.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods for treating pulmonary fibrosis and cancer. The compositions include growth hormone releasing hormone peptides. The methods include reducing lung inflammation, lung scarring, reducing expression of T cell receptor complex genes as well as inhibiting tumor growth.
