Formation of Au particles in nonstoichiometric $Cu_{2-x}{^I}Cu{_2}^{II}O_{3-{\delta}}$ ($x{\approx}0.20$; ${\delta}{\approx}0.10$) oxide from aniline + hydrochloric acid mixtures and chloroauric acid in the ratios 30 : 1; 60 : 1; 90 : 1 (S1-S3) by volume and 0.01 mol of copper acetate, $Cu(OCOCH_3)_2.H_2O$, in each case is performed by sol-gel growth. Powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) results show Au particles are dispersed in tetragonal nonstoichiometric dicopper (I) dicopper (II) oxides, $Cu_{2-x}{^I}Cu{_2}^{II}O_{3-{\delta}}$ ($x{\approx}0.20$; ${\delta}{\approx}0.10$). Average crystallite sizes of Au particles determined using Scherrer equation are found to be in the approximate ranges ${\sim}85-140{\AA}$, ${\sim}85-150{\AA}$ and ${\sim}80-150{\AA}$ in S1-S3, respectively which indicate the formation of Au nano-micro size particles in $Cu_{2-x}{^I}Cu{_2}^{II}O_{3-{\delta}}$ ($x{\approx}0.20$; ${\delta}{\approx}0.10$) oxides. Hysteresis behaviour at 300 K having low loop areas and magnetic susceptibility values ${\sim}5.835{\times}10^{-6}-9.889{\times}10^{-6}emu/gG$ in S1-S3 show weakly ferromagnetic nature of the samples. Broad and isotropic electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) lineshapes of S1-S4 at 300, 77 and 8 K having $g_{iso}$-values ${\sim}2.053{\pm}0.008-2.304{\pm}0.008$ show rapid spin-lattice relaxation process in magnetic $Cu^{2+}$ ($3d^9$) sites as well as delocalized electrons in Au ($6s^1$) nano-micro size particles in the $Cu_{2-x}{^I}Cu{_2}^{II}O_{3-{\delta}}$ ($x{\approx}0.20$; ${\delta}{\approx}0.10$) oxides. Broad and weak UV-Vis diffuse reflectance optical absorption band ~725 nm is assigned to $^2B_{1g}{\rightarrow}^2A_{1g}$ transitions, and the weak band ~470 nm is due to $^2B_{1g}{\rightarrow}^2E_g$ transitions from the ground state $^2B_{1g}$(${\mid}d_{x^2-y^2}$>) of $Cu^{2+}$ ($3d^9$) ions in octahedral coordination having tetragonal distortion.

Peroral administration is the most convenient one for the administration of pharmaceutically active compounds. Most of poorly water-soluble drugs administered via the oral route, however, remain poorly available due to their precipitation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and low permeability through intestinal mucosa. In this study, one of drug delivery carriers, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) were designed in order to reduce side effects and improve solubility and stability in GI tract of the poorly water soluble drugs. However, plain LNPs are generally unstable in the GI tract and susceptible to the action of acids, bile salts and enzymes. Accordingly, the surface of LNPs was modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) for the purpose of improving solubility and GI stability of paclitaxel (PTX) in vitro. PEG-modified LNPs containing PTX was prepared by spontaneous emulsification and solvent evaporation (SESE) method and characterized for mean particle diameter, entrapping efficiency, zeta potential value and in vitro GI stability. Mean particle diameter and zeta potential value of PEG-modified LNP containing PTX showed approximately 86.9 nm and -22.9 mV, respectively. PTX entrapping efficiency was about 70.5% determined by UV/VIS spectrophotometer. Futhermore, change of particle diameter of PTX-loaded PEG-LNPs in simulated GI fluids and bile fluid was evaluated as a criteria of GI stability. Particle diameter of PTX-loaded PEG-LNPs were preserved under 200 nm for 6 hrs in simulated GI fluids and bile fluid at $37^{\circ}C$ when DSPE-mPEG2000 was added to formulation of LNPs above 4 mole ratio. As a result, PEG-modified LNPs improved stability of plain LNPs that would aggregate in simulated GI fluids and bile solution. These results indicate that LNPs modified with biocompatible and nontoxic polymer such as PEG might be useful for enhancement of GI stability of poorly water-soluble drugs and they might affect PTX absorption affirmatively in gastrointestinal mucosa.

Recently, Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSS), which is one of the In- and Ga- free absorber materials, has been attracted considerable attention as a new candidate for use as an absorber material in thin film solar cells. The CZTSS-based absorber material has outstanding characteristics such as band gap energy of 1.0 eV to 1.5 eV, high absorption coefficient on the order of 104 cm-1, and high theoretical conversion efficiency of 32.2% in thin film solar cells. Despite these promising characteristics, research into CZTSS based thin film solar cells is still incomprehensive and related reports are quite few compared to those for CIGS thin film solar cells, which show high efficiency of over 20%. I will briefly overview the recent technological development of CZTSS thin film solar cells and then introduce our research results mainly related to sputter based process. CZTSS thin film solar cells are prepared by sulfurization of stacked both metallic and sulfide precursors. Sulfurization process was performed in both furnace annealing system and rapid thermal processing system using S powder as well as 5% diluted H2S gas source at various annealing temperatures ranging from $520^{\circ}C$ to $580^{\circ}C$. Structural, optical, microstructural, and electrical properties of absorber layers were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Hall-measurement, TRPL, etc. The effects of processing parameters, such as composition ratio, sulfurization pressure, and sulfurization temperature on the properties of CZTSS absorber layers will be discussed in detail. CZTSS thin film solar cell fabricated using metallic precursors shows maximum cell efficiency of 6.9% with Jsc of 25.2 mA/cm2, Voc of 469 mV, and fill factor of 59.1% and CZTS thin film solar cell using sulfide precursors shows that of 4.5% with Jsc of 19.8 mA/cm2, Voc of 492 mV, and fill factor of 46.2%. In addition, other research activities in our lab related to the formation of CZTS absorber layers using solution based processes such as electro-deposition, chemical solution deposition, nano-particle formation will be introduced briefly.

나노입자의 응용은 1970년대부터 발전되어 왔다. 금속 나노입자에 빛을 조사하면 나노입자 표면에서 플라즈몬 공명(SPR, surface plasmon resonance)을 일으킨다. SPR 효과는 금속표면에 입사한 빛에너지에 의해 전자가 여기하며 공명을 일으켜 진동을 발생시키는 현상을 말한다. 여기 된 전자들이 금속원자들과 충돌을 일으키며 열에너지로 전환될 수 있는데 이를 금속의 광열효과(photothermal effect)라고 한다. 우리는 광열 효과를 이용하여 온열 화장품의 개발 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 온열 화장품의 개발을 위해 생체 독성이 적은 금 나노입자를 선택하여 광열 효과에 있어서의 세포 생체적합성과 열효율을 살펴보았다. 금 나노입자의 합성 상태는 금 나노입자가 갖는 독특한 흡광 스펙트럼으로 확인하였으며, 금 나노입자의 농도는 원자 흡광분석기로 측정하였다. 세포의 독성평가는 MTT assay와 이중 염색법을 사용하였으며, 금 나노입자의 광열 효과는 제논 램프를 광원으로 하여 금 나노입자의 농도의 증가에 따른 광열 효과증대를 적외선-열화상 카메라로 확인하였다. 금 나노입자의 광열 효과를 온열 화장품에 적용한다면 한대 지방의 기후, 또는 겨울철에 태양 에너지를 열에너지로 전환시켜 피부에 손실된 열을 공급, 피부온도 유지에 도움이 되고 피부건강에 긍정적 효과를 주리라 사료된다.

$LiTaO_3$단결정은 SAW(Surface Acoustic Wave) filter용 기판용 소재로 사용되며, 초전 효과를 이용한 적외선 센서, 광전효과를 이용한 광전소자 및 광굴절 효과를 이용한 광 기억소자로도 응용되고 있다. 특히 광굴절 효과를 이용한 광 기억소자의 개발에 있어서 Fe와 같은 전이금속 불순물이 첨가된 고품위 $LiTaO_3$ 단결정과 재료의 광굴절 특성의 향상이 크게 요구되고 있는 실정이므로 본 연구에서는 Czochralski법을 이용하여 광 소자용 순수한 $LiTaO_3$ 단결정과 Fe를 불순물로 첨가시킨 $LiTaO_3$ 단결정을 성장시켰으며 성장된 결정들에 대하여 광 투과 및 흡수스펙트럼을 분석하였다. $Li_2O$ 조성을 48.0~49.0mol%까지 변화시킨 초기 용융액을 DSC법을 이용하여 Curie 온도를 측정한 결과 $Li_2O$조성이 증가함에 따라 curie 온도가 $568^{\circ}C$에서 $637^{\circ}C$까지 크게 증가하여 0.1mol% $Li_2O$의 조성차이에 $7^{\circ}C$정도의 curie 온도의 변화를 나타내었으며, 성장된 결정에서 $Li_2O$조성의 변화는 성장 길이방향으로 0.01mol%, 반경방향으로 0.0028mol% 이내의 전체 결정내 조성이 균일한 z-$LiTaO_3$ 단결정을 획득하였다. 한편 Fe를 첨가시킨 $LiTaO_3$ 결정의 경우 Fe 농도 0.1wt%당 $7.5^{\circ}C$의 Curie 온도 증가를 확인하였다. 또한 성장된 결정들은 광 투과스펙트럼을 분석한 결과 광소자로 응용하기에 충분한 78% 정도의 우수한 투과율을 보였다.처리 정책 및 규제법 등의 각 분야에서 복합적 노력이 필요하다. 가진 경우에 비하여, 좌심방의 병변을 초래하는 승모판 질환과 같은 병변을 동반한 경우에는 떨어지는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구자들은 3례의 승모판막질환을 동반하지 않은 심방세동 환자에서 Cox-Maze 술식을 경헙하였다. 첫 번째 환자는 발살바동 파열에 동반된 심방세동이었으며, 두 번째는 심실중격결손, 세 번째는 대동맥판막 협착폐쇄부전증과 동반된 심방세동이었다. 세 환자 모두에게서 기저 심장질환의 교정과 더불어 Cox-Maze 술식을 같이 시행하였다. 세 환자 모두에서 수술 직후 동율동으로의 전환이 이루어졌고, 술후 3개월 이후에는 좌, 우심방의 기계적인 수축력도 모두 확인할 수 있었다. 3례였다. 결론: 술후 재원 기간내 사망률은 비청색증 선천성 심질환에서 2.0%, 청색증 선천성 심질환에서 15.5%, 후천성 심질환에서 5.1%였다. 전체 사망률은 2,000례 중 72명이 사망하여 3.6%였다는 임상적 결과의 축적이 필요하다. 환자가 합병증에 노출되는 기회와 기간을 최소화하려면 주기적 외래방문을 지키고 쿠마딘 복용을 빼지 않도록 계속 지도하여 환자의 순응도를 높이는 동시에 INR값을 엄격하게 적정범위 내에 일관되게 유지하여야 한다. 특히 합병증의 위험요소가 있는 환자와 INR값의 변동폭이 지나치게 넓은

The purpose of this study was to examine the mechanism of improving acid resistance of Nd-YAG laser irradiated tooth enamel and determine the most effective energy density for improving acid resistance. The bovine tooth enamel were lased with a pulsed Nd-YAG laser. The energy densities of exposed laser beam were varied from 10 to $70\;J/cm^2$. To investigate the degree of improving acid resistance by irradiation, all the samples were submerged to demineralize in 0.5 N $HClO_4$ solution for 1 minute. After 1 minute, 0.05 % $LaCl_3$ was added to the solution for interrupting the demineralization reaction. The amounts of dissolved calcium and phosphate in the solution were measured by using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer and the UV/VIS spectrophotometer, respectively. To examine the mechanism of improving acid resistance, X-ray diffraction analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were taken. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the samples were obtained in the $10^{\circ}{\sim}80^{\circ}2{\theta}$ range with $Cu-K{\alpha}$ radiation using M18HF(Mac Science Co.) with X-ray diffractometer operating at 40 KV and 300 mA. The infra-red spectra of the ground samples in 300 mg KBr pellets 10 mm diameter were obtained in the $4000cm^{-1}\;to\;400cm^{-1}$ range using JASCO 300E spectrophotometer. The scanning electron microscopy was carried out using JSM6400(JEOL Co.) with $500{\sim}2000$ times magnification. The results were as follow 1. The concentration of calcium dissolved from laser irradiated enamel with $50J/cm^2$ was significantly lesser than that of unlased control group (p<0.05) 2. From the result of the X-ray diffraction analysis, $\beta$-TCP, which increases acid solubility, was identified in lased enamel but the diffraction peaks of (002) and (004) became sharp with increasing energy density of laser irradiation. This means that the crystals in lased samples were grown through the c-axis and subsequently, the acid solubility of enamel decreased. 3. The a-axis parameter was slightly increased by laser irradiation, whereas the c-axis parameter was almost constant except for a little decrease at $50J/cm^2$. 4. In the infra-red spectra of lased enamels, phosphate bands ($600{\sim}500cm^{-1}$), B-carbonate bands (870, $1415{\sim}1455cm^{-1}$), and A-carbonate band ($1545cm^{-1}$) were observed. The amounts of phosphate bands and the B-carbonate bands were reduced, on the other hand, the amount of the A-carbonate band was increased by increase the energy density. 5. The SEM experiments reveal that the surface melting and recrystallization were appeared at $30J/cm^2$ and the cracks were observed at $70J/cm^2$. From above results, It may be suggested that the most effective energy density for improving acid resistance of tooth enamel with the irradiation of Nd-YAG laser was $50J/cm^2$. The mechanism of improving acid resistance were reduction of permeability due to surface melting and recrystallization of lased enamel and reduction of acid solubility of enamel due to decrease of carbonate content and growth of crystal.
