Due to extremely small device size and velocity scale, mixing in microchannel take place very slowly by way of molecular diffusion transport. Mixing enhancement becomes a central issue in microfluidics for biomedical and chemical applications. In this work, The optimization results and validation through experiment and fabrication. In this efficient micromixer design, it is essential to evaluate mixing efficiency with good precision. Mixing efficiency for Y-channel micromixer is measured by fluorescence intensity using LIF(Laser Induced Fluorescence) Confocal Microscope. The Y-channel micromixers are fabricated with polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS). Nile Blue A is injected into the micromixer as a fluorescence dye for measuring of fluorescence intensity by He/Ne laser. Throughout the experiments and computer simulation, accurate mixing efficiency evaluation process for a PDMS Y-channel micromixer is established.

봉합율의 최적 조건을 구하기 위해 다양한 방법으로 리포좀을 제조했으며, 인지질과 봉합 약물의 비는 20:1 이상이어야 하고, 리포좀 제조 방법에 따라 봉합율이 차이가 났으며, REV, REV를 freezing-thawing한 것과 SUV를 freezing-thawing한 리포좀에서 봉합율이 좋았다. REV를 freezing-thawing한 리포좀이 가장 좋았다 (66.7%, BPB; 115.7 ug trypsin/mg lipid). 콜레스테롤의 함량은 봉합율과 안정성을 고려하여 인지 질과의 비를 7.3으로 고정시켰다. 안정성은 투과성, light scattering, qucnching 등으로 측정했으며,4$^{\circ}C$,용액 상태에서 두 달 이상동안 보관했을 때 약 10% 정도가 리포좀 내에서 빠져나왔으며, 리포좀의 크기 변화는 거의 일어나지 않았다. Calcein봉합 리포좀을 Vero E6 cell에 투여했을 때, 매우 적은 양이 cell내로 들어가는 것을 형광 현미경으로 확인할 수 있었다.

Group A 로타바이러스 VP6에 특이적으로 반응하는 단크론 항체를 이용하여 로타바이러스 감염이 의심되는 돼지 분변으로부터 로타 바이러스를 검색할 수 있는 효소면역측정법을 개발하였다. 이 효소면역측정법에서는 capture antibody로서 protein A-sepharose를 이용하여 단크론 항체로부터 순수 분리한 immunoglobulin을 사용하였으며 detecting antibody는 토끼 면역혈청으로부터 순수 분리한 immunoglobulin에 biotin을 label하여 사용하였다. 개발된 효소면역측정법의 민감도와 특이성을 전자현미경법 및 형광항체법의 것과 비교하여 보았을 때 서로 유사하였으며 분변재료로부터 로타바이러스를 검색하는데 유용한 것으로 나타났다. 개발된 효소면역측정법은 야외로부터 로타바이러스 검색을 위하여 수집된 많은 양의 분변재료를 실험실내에서 screen하는데 유용하게 사용될 것으로 생각된다.

라디오파 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법을 사용하여 유리 기판 위에 Eu 이온이 도핑된 $BaWO_4$ 박막을 성장 시킨 후에 온도 범위 $400{\sim}550^{\circ}C$에서 급속 열처리를 수행하였다. 박막의 결정 구조와 표면 형상은 각각 x-선 회절법과 주사전사현미경으로 조사였다. 급속 열처리 온도에 관계없이 모든 적색 형광체 박막은 622 nm에 피크를 갖는 적색 발광을 나타내었고, 열처리 온도가 $400^{\circ}C$에서 $550^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라 적색 발광 스펙트럼의 세기는 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

울산지역에 널리 분포하고 있는 해성 퇴적토에 대하여 깊이별로 물리, 화학 그리고 광물학적 특성을 파악하였으며, 이 지역에서 채취된 시료에 대하여 깊이별로 퓨준압말시험을 실시하였다. 본 논문을 위하여 울산 해성 퇴적토의 생성과정을 추정하고, X-선 회절 분석, X-선 형광분석 및 에너지분산분광분석을 실시하여 깊이에 따른 변화를 비교하였다. 울산 해성 퇴적토의 점토광물에 대한 정량분석결과, 일라이트, 카올리나이트, 녹니석, 스멕타이트 순으로 많게 나타났음, 화학성분 분석결과, SiO$_2$, $Al_2$O$_3$그리고 Fe$_2$O$_3$가 대부분을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 주사전자현미경 관찰결과, 유공충과 규조류가 관찰되었다. 표준압밀시험 결과, 울산지역의 해성 퇴적 점토는 깊이에 따른 변형거동이 화학적, 광물학적 분석결과와 마찬가지로 깊이에 따른 변화를 보이지 않아 같은 시디에 퇴적인 것으로 판단된다.

The utilization of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) in conjunction with cathodoluminescence (CL) has emerged as a valuable tool for the investigation of material optical properties. In recent years, this technique has facilitated significant advancements in the fields of plasmonics and quantum emitters by surpassing prior technical restrictions. The review commences by providing an outline of the diverse STEM-CL operating modes and technical aspects of the instrumentation. The review explains the fundamental physics of light production under electron beam irradiation and the physical basis for interpreting STEM-CL experiments for different types of excitations. Additionally, the review compares STEM-CL to other related techniques such as scanning electron microscope CL, photoluminescence, and electron energy-loss spectroscopy.

In this study, we sought to develop an effective cloning system by which human cytochrome $b_5$ (cyt $b_5$) is introduced and expressed in zebrafish. First, the 414 bp human cyt $b_5$ gene was amplified from RNA extracts of HeLa cells using RT-PCR, and the amplicon was subsequently sequenced to confirm that it was intact. Next, cyt $b_5$ was cloned into the pEGFP-N3 vector, which also encodes a fluorescent gene. One-cell stage zebrafish embryos were microinjected with the recombinant vector containing the cyt $b_5$ gene. Fluorescence microscopy confirmed high expression of the fluorescent gene in the injected fry compared to the non-fluorescent control fry. Finally, we extracted RNA from the injected fry and performed RT-PCR to determine whether the human cyt $b_5$ gene is expressed in the transgenic zebrafish. Sequencing analysis further confirmed that the cloned human cyt $b_5$ gene was intact. The transgenic zebrafish model produced in this study will be a useful tool to study therapeutic approaches to cure various diseases related to the deficiency of functional human cyt $b_5$ as well as tools for cloning useful genes in fish.

$SrAl_2O_4$ : $Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$ phosphorescent phosphors were synthesized by skull melting method. The molar ratio of oxides in the phosphors synthesized by the skull melting technique was $SrCO_3$ : $Al(OH)_3$ : $Eu_2O_3$ : $Dy_2O_3$= 1 : 2 : 0.015 : 0.02. Crystal structure and surface morphology were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Optical properties of the synthesized $SrAl_2O_4$ : $Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$ were measured by photoluminescence (PL) spectrometer for in-depth study on the excitation, emission and afterglow properties. From the PL measurements, it was found that excitation occurred in the wavelength range from 300 to 420 nm with peak position at 360 nm. The emission spectrum showed a broad curve in the wavelength from 450 to 600 nm with peak position at 530 nm. $SrAl_2O_4$ : $Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$ phosphors exhibited afterglow properties with emission that lasted for a long period.

In this study, we investigated effects of Monegy (mixture of Sophorae Radix, Panax ginseng, Salvia miltiorrhiza BUNGE) on epilate-induced hair-loss in dorsal region of C57/BL6 mice and external structure of human hair. For morphological and histological analysis in scalp of epilate-induced hair-loss animal model, we utilized several microscopic techniques, such as confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and LAS 4000. Confocal analysis showed the distribution of FITC-conjugated Monegy and penetration depth compared with normal and control group. Furthermore, when Monegy was topically administrated onto a C57BL6 mouse, it penetrated very well. The fluorescence intensity was increased upto 205 and 113 folds compared to normal and control group, respectively. Also, area of fluorescence was increased to upto 255 to 127 folds compared to normal and control group. Broad scale area of fluorescence in dermis region was observed in the Monegy-treated mice. Furthermore, Monegy induced upto 75% hair repair against depilation. It might be promoted via the induction of growth factors in hair follicle.

Purpose: We report a case of unilateral, focal, pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy (PPRCA). Case summary: A 46-year-old female visited our clinic in complaint of a vague problem with her right eye identified during a general medical examination. The visual acuity (without correction) of both eyes was 1.0. Slit-lamp examination of both eyes revealed no specific signs. Fundus examination of the right eye revealed focal, bony-spicule-shaped retinochoroidal atrophy with pigmentation along the course of the superior retinal vein. A fundus autofluorescence examination revealed principally hypofluorescence with some hyperfluorescence at the margin of the atrophic retinochoroidal lesion. Optical coherence tomography revealed mixed clumping and atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer and thinning of the choriocapillaris layer. Fluorescence angiography revealed a window defect and blockage at the site of the lesion (the fluorescent material did not enter the lesion). The site of the window defect was in correlation with the atrophic RPE region. The site of the blockage at lesion also matched with the site of the regional pigment clumping. No definite leakage was observed. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of unilateral focal PPRCA reported from Korea.
