  • 본 연구에서는 사질토 지반에서 펄스 방전(PDT)에 의한 확공 현상을 평가하기 위한 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. 수중 폭발 모델을 기반으로 PDT적용을 통해 시추공 내부의 시멘트 페이스트에 발생하는 충격파를 모델링하였고, 이를 바탕으로 사질토 지반에 유발되는 변형을 유체-구조물 연동해석을 통해 예측하였다. 해석 결과, 수치해석을 통한 예측이 문헌에 언급된 지반 확공 정도에 대한 실험 결과와 부합하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 펄스 방전에 의해 지반의 응력 증가 및 체적 압축 등의 지반 다짐효과를 파악할 수 있었다.

  • Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is a relatively common eye disease in the dog, Reduction or arrest of aqueous tear production by lacrimal glands results in quantitative alteration of the precorneal tear film (PTF) and KCS may result. A dog with a presumptive diagnosis of KCS referred was used for the study of KCS. Cytological and histopathologic examination is performed, and the various types of medical and surgical treatment are studied, including the operation of parotid duct transposition (PDT). This report described unilateral KCS in a dog of unknown etiology who responded to PDT.

  • Onychomycosis is the most common disease of the nail, with a worldwide prevalence of 5.5%. It causes local pain, paresthesia, and cosmetic problems and decreases the patients' quality of life. Conventional treatments include the administration of topical and systemic agents. However, factors such as subungual hyperkeratosis and biofilm formation may affect the efficacy of these treatments. Moreover, side effects associated with systemic agents are a major concern for patients. Therefore, various novel treatments are being developed; among them, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and Nd:YAG laser are promising, and several studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of PDT and laser therapy. Here, we report the efficacy and tolerability of PDT combined with 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser therapy and topical efinaconazole for the treatment of three patients with refractory onychomycosis.

  • Objective : We tested the hypothesis that photodynamic therapy(PDT) with Photofrin inhibits tumor invasion of U87 human glioma cells using several in vitro assay to measure tumor invasiveness. The effects of PDT on cell growth, directional migration and cell invasion were investigated. Material and Method : Tumor cells were treated with Photofrin at various doses and at a fixed optical(632nm) dose of $100mJ/cm^2$. Cytotoxicity was tested using the MTT method. Invasion assays including the matrigelartificial basement membrane barrier migration and spheroid confrontation with confocal microscopic analysis were used to study the relationship between PDT and invasiveness. Result : U87 cells showed a dose dependent cytotoxic response to increasing Photofrin dose. Data from the matrigel artificial basement membrane assay indicate that PDT inhibits the U87 cell migration dose dependently. Low doses of subcytotoxic PDT treatment, such as 2.5ug/ml Photofrin dose, also appeared to significantly inhibit migration of U87 cells(p<0.05). In co-cultures between U87 cell spheroids and brain aggregates, progressive invasion with destruction of the brain aggregate occurs. The extent of tumor cell infiltration and proportion or intact brain aggregate remaining after 24h differs in Photofrin PDT treated versus Photofrin only control, with changes suggestive of a dose-response effect. Conclusion : our data indicate that PDT with Photofrin significantly inhibits the invasiveness of U87 cells, and this inhibition is dose dependent.

  • 5-Aminolevulinic acid and its derivatives, which are known to affect the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, have been synthesized. Simple methods for the synthesis of 5-aminole-vulinic acid (ALA), a precursor of porphyrins, have been developed in our laboratory for use in studies on the biosynthesis of porphyrins.

  • The preparation of polynuclear metal dendritic molecule for photodynamic diagnosis(PDD) or photodynamic therapy(PDT) has been interested on design and synthesis of metal-to-metal long ranged macromolecule. Herein, imine bond or amide bond as chemical bond is an important role on the construction of energy transfer or electron transfer system. Therefore, we will be presented on the role of chemical bond for the preparation of polynuclear metal dendritic molecule.
