We have studied the effects of red ginseng root extract on the decrease of UV-induced genotoxicity in cultured NIH3T3 cells. The increase in survival and the recovery from DNA synthesis inhibition in UV-irradiated cells as a function of normal medium incubation time was potentiated by the presence of the ginseng extract. The extract also increased the UV-induced excision repair as determined by unscheduled DNA synthesis. The amount of UV-induced DNA single strand breaks that are accumulated by polymerase inhibitors was significantly increased by the presence of the extract. These results suggest that the red ginseng extract activates the incision/excision step of UV-induced repair and could be used as a reagent for protecting UV-induced genotoxicity and cytotoxicity.

나노 임프린트 리소그래피 방법을 이용하여 매미 날개의 표면구조를 열가소성 고분자 시트 위에 역상으로 전사하였다. 그 후 표면구조가 형성된 시트의 UV-가시광선 투과도와 증류수의 접촉각을 측정함으로써 표면구조 형성을 통해 난반사 효과와 자가 세정 효과를 부여하였음을 확인하였다.

Aspheric optical elements can provide an advantage in the design of optical system that require high performance and small size. The main disadvantage of high volume production of aspheric optical elements is very high cost. In this paper, we suggest new technology of high volume production process using replication process. The replication is a thin film of UV cured resin on a solid substrate blank(polymer substrate) with aspheric surface.

We have studied the effects of red ginseng root extract on the derease of MMS-induced gemotoxicity in cultured NIH3T3 cells. The increase in survival and the recovery from DNA synthesis inhibition in MMS-treated cells as a function of normal medium incubation time was potentiated, at a rate higher than those in UV-irradiated cells, by the presence of the ginseng extract. The extract also increased the MMS-induced excision repair as determined by unscheduled DNA synthesis. The amount of MMS-induced DNA single strand breads that are accumulated by polymerase inhibitors was increased, but as a rate lower rate than in UV-induced strand break, by the presence of the extract. These results suggest that the red ginseng extract increase MMS-induced repair and could be used as a reagent for protectiong alkylating agent-induced genotoxicity and cytotoxicity.

In the paper, we fabricated a Ni master with $45^{\circ}$-mirror structures for flexible waveguide fabrication. The flexible waveguide films with embedded $45^{\circ}$-angled mirrors at the waveguide ends were successfully fabricated using a UV-imprint process. Next, in order to enhance the reflectivity of the mirrors, Ni(3 nm)-Au(200 nm) bilayers were evaporated on the $45^{\circ}$-angled facets through a locally opened thin mask using an electron beam evaporator. We measured propagation loss, bending loss, mirror loss and bending reliability of the fabricated waveguide.

Two types of polymer-based optical splitters with $200{\mu}m$ large core are presented for optical multimode networks, such as smart home networks, intelligent automotive networks, etc. Optical splitters that have 1:1 symmetric and 9:1 asymmetric structure were fabricated by a ultra violet(UV)-imprint technology using a deep etched Si(silicon) master by the Bosch process. In this paper, we successfully fabricated the symmetric and asymmetric optical splitters with suitable optical network applications.

현재 상용화된 LED 또는 태양전지 등의 투명전극(TCO, transparent couducting oxide)재료로 높은 전기전도도와 광투과도를 갖는 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)가 많이 채택되고 있다. 그러나 이에 사용되는 Indium의 단가가 높다는 문제점이 있어 이를 대체하기 위한 물질의 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 특히 Aluminum을 doping한 ZnO (AZO)는 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성 등으로 인해 ITO를 대체할 차세대 TCO 물질로 각광받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 sol-gel법을 및 direct patterning법을 이용하여 moth-eye 패턴을 포함하는 AZO 박막을 제작하였다. AZO sol을 제작하기 위하여 2-methoxyethanol, zinc acetate dihydrate 및 doping source로 aluminum nitrate nonahydrate를 사용하였다. 또한 광추출 향상 효과를 갖는 moth-eye 구조의 master stamp를 Polydimethyl siloxane(PDMS)를 이용하여 역상 moth-eye 구조의 mold를 복제하였으며, 이 복제된 mold와 제작된 AZO sol을 이용한 direct patterning법을 통해 나노급 moth-eye 구조를 갖는 AZO 투명전극층을 형성하였다. 제작된 moth-eye 구조를 갖는 AZO 투명전극층의 전기적 특성 평가를 위해, 4-point probe 측정 및 Hall measurement를 시행하였으며, 광학적 특성을 확인하기 위하여 UV-Visable spectrometer를 이용하여 투과도를 측정하였다. 본 연구를 통해 현재 상용화된 광전자 소자에 사용되고 있는 ITO 투명전극을 대체할 차세대 투명전극으로써 AZO 박막의 가능성을 확인하였다.

The organization of eukayotic chromatin into specific conformation that are associated with transcription, replication, reapir and other nuclear processes are achieved via a series of DNA-protein interaction. These interactions are mediated by a range of DNA-binding domains such as SAP domain et at. By searching S. pombe genomic DNA database, we have found a gene named SAPuvs (SAP UV Sensitive) whose amino acid sequence is in part similar to SAP domain of Arabidopsis poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase and Ku7O. Knock-out cell of S. pombe SAPuvs gene was constructed using Ura4 as a selection marker. Survival analysis of knock-out cell indicated that treatment with UV significantly reduces the survival compared to wild type cell. Potentiation of MMS-induced cytotoxicity by 3AB post-treatment was observed in wild type cells, but not in knock-out cells. These data suggested that the protein encoded by SAPuvs gene is associated with chromatin reorganization during DNA repair.
