AlN crystal is been developing in global site for many years and 1 inch diameter wafer was already developed but it is demanding the efforts for the better quality. On the other hand, also the 2-inch size is developing recently to reduce the unit cost for manufacturing and to use to fabrication of the UV LED chips. In this study, we tried to evaluate the possibility of bulk AlN crystals on his thin films by PVT method. The AlN thin film was grown on SiC single crystal 2" wafer by HVPE method. We successfully grew AlN bulk crystal of a thickness of 7 mm using its thin film of a thickness of $10{\mu}m$ as a seed crystal. The resultants of AlN crystals were identified by metallurgical microscope, optical stereographic microscope and DCXRD measurement.

The effect of co-sputtering condition on the structural properties of $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films grown by RF magnetron co-sputtering system was investigated for manufacturing UV LED. $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films were grown with ZnO and MgO target varying RF power. Structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films have sufficient crystallinity on the high ZnO power. The EDS analyzed showed that the Mg content in the $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ films decreased from 3.99 to 24.27 at.% as the RF power of ZnO target increased. The Mg content in the $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ films could be controlled by co-sputtering power.

For the purpose of annihilating tumor in body, hematoporphyrin as a photosensitizer was coated onto magnetic particles of $Fe_3O_4$ prepared by coprecipitation which could be concentrated around the tumor by magnetic field. The photosensitizer was applied differently before, during and after adsorbing the 1st surfactant on the particles. Its added amount was $5{\times}10^{-4}/mol$, and the coating reaction proceeded at temperatures of 60, 70 and 8$0^{\circ}C$. The amounts of photosensitizer coated on the magnetic particles were obtained by calculating an optical density with the maximum UV spectrum. As a result of the UV analysis, the coating amount of photosensitizer increased with higher reaction temperatures. When applied at 8$0^{\circ}C$ after adsorbing the 1st surfactant, the photosensitizer was coated with a maximum value of $3.8{\times}10^{-3}/mo1/$\ell$$. The TGA analysis revealed that the ferrofluids included the particles of 30.115 g/$\ell$. It was suggested that the magnetite particles was coated with photosensitizer of $1.26{\times}10^{-4}/mo1/g$. A small-sized device for magnetic field and light emission was designed, in which LED sheets coverts the permanent magnet of Nd-Fe-B. The LED sheet was connected in series circuit and also protected with a silicon tube. The power was supplied with rechargable battery of 9V and 100-120mA.

Marine-derived microbes have yielded a variety of metabolites so far. In the course of the project to find metabolites from marine microbes, an isolate of Aspergillus protuberus (SF 5767) was selected for chemical investigation. A large scale culture of this strain in PDA media was extracted with an organic solvent and the extract was fractionated by silica gel column chromatography. Repeated reverse phase HPLC of the fractions led to the isolation of three metabolites. Their chemical structures were elucidated as deoxybrevianamide E (1), brevianamide V (2), and ergosterol peroxide (3) on the basis of spectroscopic data including MS, NMR, and UV. To the best of our knowledge, chemical investigation of A. protuberus was conducted for the first time in this study.

Strain No.77-AG-567 showed antifungal activity against Pyricularia oryzas and Sphaerotheca fuliginea. In the process of purification of active component this strain was found to produce blasticidin S together with another antibiotic. This compound was identified as being acetoxycyc-heximide, also referred to as E-73, by UV and $^1$H NMR spectral data. Identification of this strain led us to conclude that strain No.77-AG-567 is most probably be Streptomyces atratus. It showed different characteristics from S. atbutus, so far known to produce both blasticidin S and acetoxycycloheximide. Particularly worthy of note was the difference in spore surface. In addition, acetoxycycloheximide has been known to have activity only against yeast and tumor cells but we found that it also has activity against Pyricularia oryzae and Sphasrotheca fuliginea.

In order to develop new anti-inflammatory agents having different action mechanisms compared with nonsteroidal and steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the culture broths of various actinomycetes isolated from soil were screened using an in vivo mouse ear edma assay and one strain (Streptomyces sp. MT 2705-4: KCTC 8651 P) was selected. Activity-guided purification led to the isolation of a polyether compound, dianemycin. Topically, dianemycin showed a potent anti-inflammatory activity in mouse ear edema induced by croton-oil or arachidonic acid.$ED_{50}$value of dianemycin was found to be 0.8 mg,/ear compared to 0.4 mg/ear of prednisolone in croton-oil ear edema. However, dianemycin did not show the inhibitory activity in UV-erythema and delayed hypersensitivity reaction. These results indicate that dianemycin is a potential topical anti-inflammatory agent.

Divalent europium-activated $Ca_2PO_4Cl$ phosphor powders were prepared by a chemical synthetic method followed by heat treatment in reduced atmosphere, and the crystal structures, morphologies and photoluminescence properties of the powders were investigated by x-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscope and spectrometer. The effect of Ca/P mole ratio at the starting materials on the final products was evaluated. The optimized synthesis condition obtained in this study was Ca/P mole ratio of 2.0. The present phosphor materials had higher photoluminescence intensity and better color purity than the commercial blue phosphor powders, $(Ca,Ba,Sr)_{10}(PO_4)_6Cl_2:Eu^{2+}$. The result of excitation spectrum measurement indicated that the excitation efficiency of the synthesized powders was higher for the long-wavelength UV region than that of the commercial phosphor. It was thus concluded that the samples prepared in this study can be successfully applied for the light-emitting devices such as LED excited with long-wavelength UV light sources.

Recent reports on the photocarcinogenicity and photogerotoxicity of many compounds led to an increasing awareness for the need of a standard approach to test for photogenotoxicity. The comet assay has been recently validated as a sensitive and specific test system for the quantification of DNA damage. Thus, the objectives of this study are to investigate the utility of photo-comet assay for detecting photo-mutagens, and to evaluate its ability to predict rodent photo-carcinogenicity. Photo-comet assays were performed using L5178Y $Tk^{+/-}$ mouse lymphoma cells on five test substances (8-methoxypsoralen, chlorpromazine, lomefloxacin, anthracene and retinoic acid) that demonstrated positive results in photocarcinogenicity tests. For the best discrimination between the test substance-mediated DNA damage and the undesirable DNA damage caused by direct UV absorption, a UV dose-response of the cells in the absence of the test substances was firstly fnalized. Out of 5 test substances, positive comet results were obtained for chlorpromazine, lomefloxacin, anthracene and retinoic acid while 8-methoxypsoralen found negative. An investigation into the predictive value of this photo-comet assay for determining the photocarcinogenicity showed that photo-comet assay has relatively high sensitivity. Therefore, the photo-comet assay with mammalian cells seems to be a good and sensitive predictor of the photocarcinogenic potential of new substances.
