Electronic Production of Nitric Oxide This is a system for
producing a mixture comprising nitric oxide and air for the treatment of many medical conditions. It enables unlimited production of nitric oxide at any location using only air and a source of electricity. The electric
arc discharge produces the nitric oxide mixed with air. The mixture of nitric oxide and air is further purified and blended with other gases and/or therapeutic agents, and the therapeutically-effective gas mixture is
delivered to different organs of a human body using organ specific attachments. A gas delivery system is used for purifying and dispensing the produced nitric oxide mixed with air or other gases to an organ of the human
body. Nitric oxide relaxes smooth muscles almost immediately after delivery; moreover, the action of nitric oxide is limited only to the organ subjected to the treatment. Nitric oxide is crucial to many biological
systems it mediates the control of blood pressure, helps the immune system kill invading parasites that enter cells, stops cancer cells from dividing, transmits signals between brain cells, and reduces the large scale
death of brain cells that can debilitate people with strokes or Huntington's disease. It was shown that nitric oxide is a final common mediator of smooth muscle relaxation. Smooth muscle is present, in the walls
of the blood vessels, bronchi, gastrointestinal tract, and urogenital tract. Administration of nitric oxide gas to the lung by inhalation could produce localized smooth muscle relaxation without systemic side effects.
This characteristic can be used to treat bronchial constriction and pulmonary hypertension, pneumonia, etc. Nitric oxide is now known to be an important naturally occurring local cellular hormone, the endothelium
derived relaxing factor. This factor is produced in many cells (i.e., endothelial cells lining blood vessels, bronchi, intestines, bladder, uterus, and other hollow organs) by the enzyme nitric oxide synthetase (now
known to be a family of at least six enzymes) from arginine. Nitric oxide is unique in that it combines a rapid onset of action occurring within seconds with the absence of systemic effects. Plans Only
