Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a reactive hypermelanosis of the skin that occurs as a result of variable inflammatory processes, such as trauma, and many inflammatory conditions. Although a range of modalities of managing PIH have been reported, the treatment of PIH is challenging. In this report, a patient with PIH was treated using picosecond-domain Nd:YAG lasers. After three sessions of 1,064-nm picosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser treatment, the patient showed almost complete improvement with no remarkable side effects or recurrence over the duration of six months. Overall, 1,064-nm picosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser can be used effectively and safely for treating pigmented lesions in the dermis, particularly PIH, in Asian patients.

1) Among 8 strains of Rhizopus and 7 of Aspergillus species investigated for their producibility of saccharifying amylase, Rhizopus delemar ND 1 and Aspergillus usamii mut. shirousamii were selected as having high saccharifying activity. 2). Since Rh. delemar ND 1 shows high saccharifying activity and slight transglucosidase activity, it likely seems suitable for the production of starch-sugar by enzymic saccharification. Asp. usamii mut. shirousamii exerts low saccharifying but moderate transglucesidase activity and is considered to be usable in producing sugar-syrup with particular flavor and taste. 3). Using the saccharogenic enzyme from Rh. delemar ND 1, a prelimimary trial was done to obtain purified glucose powders.

The purpose of this study was to observe the changes of the lower 3rd molars following the extraction of the lower 2nd molars by Lateral Cephalograms and Orthopantomograms. The subjects consisted of twenty malocclusion, 7 males 13 females, were 19 year 5 month old at the removal of the lower 2nd molars, 19 year 1 month old at the end of the orthodontic supervision after the removal of the lower 2nd molars (mean age) The obtained results were as follows, 1 It is recommended to extract the lower 2nd molars when the lower 3rd molars are Nolla's Stage 4 or 5 2 With the pre-extraction variables obtained by factor analysis, it was possible to predict the long axis of the lower 3rd molars after 2nd molar extraction. 3 There were no impacted 3rd molars.

The purpose of this work was to separate Ce, Pr, Nd and Sm from rare-earth oxides by column chromatography. Rare earth solution were adsorbed into the Amberlite IR-120 resin and were eluted by the ammonia alkali solution of the EDTA. As a result of determinating rare earth metals of each fraction, Ce was separated very effectively and Nd and Sm partially separaed but Pr never separated.

A 200W pulsed Nd: YAG laser for fine welding was developed. The important laser parameters such as laser peak power, average power, pulse width, and pulse energy for welding were studied. In order to obtain the sufficient laser power density for welding, thermal lensing effects were analyzed and a laser resonator with laser beam divergence was designed. The power supply unit was designed to support up to 7kW input. The pulse control unit was developed using a GTO thyristor and could control over 100kW input power to obtain 3.5kW peak power laser. Also due to the GTO thyristor the pulse width could be varied continuously from 0.1 to 20 msec and maximum repetition rate was as high as 300pps.

Nanodiamond (ND) is composed of inner diamond core and outer graphite shell. The size of ND used in this study was about 5 nm. The ND solution was dropped on silicon substrate and dried in air. Dried ND sample was purified by using annealing method in air. Then, 40 keV Fe ion was irradiated into the sample. The dose was varied from $1{\times}10^{14}$ to $1{\times}10^{16}ions/cm^2$. The post annealing was performed at 1073 K in the vacuum to recover diamond structure. The annealing at 873 K in air was performed to remove the outer graphite shell. The structure of ND was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. We will present the detailed data and results in the conference.

The microstructure and magnetic properties of HDDR-treated powders after grain boundary diffusion process (GBDP) with Nd-Cu alloy at different temperatures have been studied. The variation of GBDP temperature had multifaceted influences on the HDDR-treated powders involving the microstructure, phase composition and magnetic performance. An enhanced coercivity of 16.9 kOe was obtained after GBDP at $700^{\circ}C$, due to the modified grain boundary with fine and continuous Nd-rich phase. However, GBDP at lower or higher temperature resulted in poor magnetic properties because of insufficient microstructural modification. Especially, the residual hydrogen induced phenomenon during GBDP strongly depended on the GBDP temperature.

We developed an automatic diameter control system to control the diameter of single crystal for Czochralski growth. The system is composed of load cell, software program and data acquisition system connected to computer which controls RF power. This study describes the basic principle, characteristics and components of the system. The diameter of Nd:YAG crystal could be controlled within ±5% tolerance by this system.

Pulsed Nd : YAG LASER has been applied to various fields in clinical dentistry including the treatment of peri-implantitis. However, LASER can affect properties of matter of dental implants which are important to maintaining the health of peri-implant tissue and can raise its temperature during lasing. So there have been warings of using LASER to treat peri-implantitis. But, the effects of laser on dental implants itself are not certain yet. So we measured the temperature rising, examined matter of properties by SEM and EDX before and after pulsed Nd : YAG lasing various intensity. 7 TPS implants and 7 HPS implants were used and pulsed Nd : YAG LASER was used in 0.3W, 1.0W, and 2.0W. 1. 2.0W LASER made polished neck portion of HPS implants reach $39.2^{\circ}C$ after 5 seconds lasing. 2. LASER made crater-like defects on plasma sprayed surface and surfaces were melted and divided by fragments after lasing. 3. There was no specific evidence of element change after lasing.

We developed LD Pumped Nd:$VVO_4$ microchip laser with the cavity length of 1mm. The microchip laser output was 87.5㎽ at the wavelength of 1063.9nm with the input power of 241㎽ at the wavelength of 809nm. The slope efficiency was 40.7% and the threshold input power was 31.1㎽. We have also defined input power limit for the single longitudinal mode operation theoretically. It was 2.5 times larger than that of threshold input intensity. According to the results of simulation, the Nd:YVO$_4$ microchip laser can be operated with the maximum output of 15㎽ for the single longitudinal mode up to the input power of 77.75㎽.
