We report Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods synthesis and electrochemical luminescence (ECL) cell fabrication. The ECL cell was fabricated using the electrode of ZnO nanorods and Ru(II) complex ($Ru(bpy)_3{^{2+}}$) as a luminescence materials. The fabricated ECL cell is composed of F-doped $SnO_2$ (FTO) glass/ Ru(II)/ZnO nanorods/FTO glass. The highest intensity of the emitting light was obtained at the wavelength of ~620 nm which corresponds to dark-orange color. At a bias voltage of 3V, the measured ECL efficiencies were 5 $cd/m^2$ for cell without ZnO nanorod, 145 $cd/m^2$ for ZnO nanorods-$5{\mu}m$, 208 $cd/m^2$ for ZnO nanorods-$8{\mu}m$ and 275 $cd/m^2$ for ZnO nanorods-$10{\mu}m$, respectively. At a bias voltage of 3.5V, the use of ZnO nanorods increases ECL intensities by about 3 times compared to the typical ECL cell without the use of ZnO nanorods.

In this work, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) cell using nanocrysralline $TiO_2$ electrode and Ru(II) complex (Ru${(bpy)_3}^{2+}$) is fabricated for low-cost high-efficient energy conversion device application. The nanocrysrallme $TiO_2$ layer (${\sim}10{\mu}m$ thickness) with large surface area (${\sim}360m^2$/g) can largely inject electrons from nanoporous $TiO_2$ electrode and allows the oxidation/reduction of Ru(II) complex in the nanopores. The cell structure is composed of a glass/ F-doped $SnO_2$(FTO)/ porous $TiO_2$/ Ru(II) complex in acetonitrile/ FTO/ glass. The nanocrysralline $TiO_2$ layer is prepared using sol-gel combustion method. The ECL efficiency of the cell consisting of the porous $TiO_2$ layers was 250 cd/W, which was higher than that consisting of only FTO electrode (50cd/W). The nanoporous $TiO_2$ layers wwas effective for increasine ECL intensities.

The electrochemical luminescence (ECL) device was investigated, which has similar structure to the dye-sensitized solar cell. The structure of the ECL cell in this experiment reliably induces a large amount of the oxidation around electrodes. The band gap of the ECL electrode is of 3.0 - 3.2 eV. Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) nanoparticle has following properties: a band gap of 3.4 eV, a low-priced material, and 002 preferred orientation (Z-axis). Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorod is easy to grow in a vertical direction. In this paper, in order to determine material suitable for the ECL device, the properties of various materials for electrodes of ECL devices such as ZnO nanorod (ZnO-NR) and $TiO_2$ nanoparticle ($TiO_2-NP$) were compared. The threshold voltage of the light emission of the ZnO-NR was 2.0 V which is lower than 2.5 V of $TiO_2-NP$. In the other hand, the luminance of $TiO_2-NP$ was $44.66cd/m^2$ and was higher than that of $34cd/m^2$ of ZnO-NR at the same applied voltage of 4 V. Based on the experimental results, we could conclude that $TiO_2-NP$ is a more suitable electrode material in ECL device than the ZnO-NR.

One of the major sources of air pollution is urban particulate matter (UPM), which causes lung diseases involving oxidative stress, inflammation, and cancer. Codonopsis lanceolata (CL) has been used in East Asia as a traditional oriental medicinal ingredient for lung diseases (e.g., asthma and bronchitis). However, the connection between the impact of CL and UPM in the lungs has rarely been investigated. This study aimed to confirm the inhibitory activity of the ethanol extract of CL (ECL) against oxidative stress and disruption of tight cell junctions in human pulmonary epithelial cells after exposure to UPM. As the lung cells were pre-treated with ECL, the UPM-induced increase in cellular reactive oxygen species production suppressed tight junction proteins (e.g., N-cadherin, fibronectin, occludin, zonula occludens-1, and claudin-4). These results suggest that ECL prevents the possible effects of UPM toxicity on the lungs.

In this study, used simplest sandwich cells containing $Ru2^+$ liquid electrolytes in order to clarify the role of nanoporous $TiO_2$ electrodes. And, the cell structure is as follow: $F:SnO_2$ glass/ nanoporous $TiO_2$/ tris(2,2'-bipyridy)ruthenium(ll) colplex [$Ru(bpy)_3(PF_6)_2$] in acetonitrile/ $F:SnO_2$ glass. The result, we found that ECL intensities increased rapidly by use of cathodes with nanoporous $TiO_2$ layers. And, porous $TiO_2$ electrodes were confirmed to be efficient for ECL devices as well as solar cell devices. It is thought that the increases in the ECL intensities may be associated with both formation of $Ru^+$ in porous $TiO_2$ electrodes and the process taking place after reduction of $Ru^+$ which occurs in the nanoporous electrodes.

The gastro-endocrine cells were examined in the fundic region of stomach of the frog, Rana rugosa, by transmission electron microscope. In the present paper, at least three kinds of cell type distributed in this region were idendfted according to their morphological charactedstics based on the size, shape and electron density of the secretory granules. Type I cells were characterized by the presence of round or oval granules (300-5OOnm in diameter) with high electron density. The granules showed a wide lucent between the contents and the limiting membrane. This cell was reminiscent of the ECL cell in the human alimentary mucosa. Type II cells were characterized by the presence of spherical or oval granules (11O-230nm in diameter) with low or high electron density. The granules showed a clear halo between the homogenous contents and the limiting membrane. This cell was reminiscent of the G cell in the human alimentary mucosa. Type Ill cells were characterized by the presence of elongated oval or pheomorphic granules (50-2OOnm in diameter) with low or moderate electron density and abundant microfilament bundles in the cytoplasm. The granules contained a very thin halo.

In this paper, we reported fabrication of sealing the glass substrate using laser treatment at low temperature for electrochemical luminescence (ECL) cell. The laser treatment at temperature is using laser diode. The glass substrate sealing by laser treatment tested at 1-5 W, 1-5 mm/s for builted and tested. The sealing laser treatment method will allow associate coordination between the two glass substrate was enclosed. The effect of laser treatment to sealing the glass substrate was found to have cracks and air gap at best thickness of about $845-780{\mu}m$ for condition 5 W, 1-5 mm/s. The surface of sealing was roughness which was not influent to electrodes So, it is more effective viscosity between two glasses substrate.

In this work, we reported fabrication of sealing the glass substrate using laser treatment at low temperature for electrochemical luminescence (ECL) cell. The laser treatment at temperature is using laser diode. The glass substrate sealing by laser treatment tested at 3-10W, 2-5 mm/s for build and tested. The sealing laser treatment method will allow associate coordination between the two glass substrate was enclosed. The effect of laser treatment to sealing the glass substrate was found to have cracks and air gap at best thickness of about 550-600 im for condition 3 W, 3 mm/s. The surface of sealing was roughness which was not influent to electrodes It can reduce the cracks, crevices and air gaps as well, improves the performance viscosity in butter bus bar electrodes. Therefore, it is more effective viscosity between two FTO glasses substrate.

Endocrine cells in the cardiac and fundic regions of the Korean hedgehog were studied ultrastructurally. Five types of endocrine cells classified as EC, ECL, $D_1$. G and A-like cells were identified in these regions. EC cells contained pleomorphic granules, 170~500nm in diameter, with high electron density and highly dense bodies in a dense matrix. ECL cells were characterized by the presence of round or oval granules, 220~450nm in diameter, with high electron density. Some granules of ECL cells showed a small amounts of contents or empty. $D_1$ cells contained round and relatively small granules, 140~400nm in diameter, with low to moderate electron density. G cells were characterized by the presence of round or oval granules, 200~400nm in diameter, with moderate electron density. Some granules of these cells showed a narrow halo between the limiting membrane and the granular matrix. A-like cells contained round granules, 170~260nm in diameter, With high electron density. The granules of these cells showed homogeneous matrix surrounded by the tight membrane.
