In order to investigate the antibacterial effects of pulsed Nd:YAG Laser concerning to Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus mutans was cultured and standardized and plated in 96 well plates. After that, black dye and chlorhexidine were applied and pulsed Nd:YAG Laser was irradiated to plates. Experimental groups which was applied with black dye and chlorhexidine were divided into 5 groups by concentration. And experimental groups and control group were subdivided as unlased and lased of 20, 40, and 60J. After laser irradiation, All groups were plated in agar plates and incubated for 18 hours. Bacterial colonies were counted and analysed comparitively, and the temperature of culture medium was measured on every laser irradiation. The results were obtained as follows; 1. In case of laser irradiation only, there is no significant reduction in number of Streptococcus mutans by irradiated energy of laser. 2. In case of black dye application, there is no difference by concentration of black dye but there is decrease when applied Laser and black dye simultaneously. 3. When applied chlorhexidine, the number of Streptococcus mutans was decreased according to increase of concentration, but there is no difference by irradiated energy of laser. 4. The temperature of culture medium was increased according to increase of irradiated energy of Laser, and the number of Streptococcus mutans was reduced remarkably just above 50 centigrade and killed above 70 centigrade. As above results, pulsed Nd:YAG Laser has well-absorbing affinity to black dye. And antibacterial effect of pulsed Nd:YAG Laser against Streptococcus mutans is seemed to be due to increase of temperature.

연속발진 색소레이저를 시드레이저로 하고, Nd:YAG 레이저로 펌핑하는 인젝션 록킹된 단일 모우드 펄스 색소레이저를 제작하였다. 위상민감 검출법으로 얻은 오차신호로 시드빔과 공진 상태를 유지하도록 공진기 길이를 조절하였을 때 99% 이상의 펄스가 시드레이저의 주파수에 록킹 되었다. 이때 레이저 출력빔의 중심 주파수 요동이 10MHz 이내로 안정되었다. 펄스폭(FWHM)은 6ns이고 선폭은 130 MHz이었다. 50mJ로 펌핑하였을 때 2mJ의 출력을 얻었으며 이때의 첨두출력은 0.33 MW이다.

Non-visualization of larynx is one of the reasons for failure of vocal fold surgery. Many otorhinolaryngologists may have a trouble in choice of alternative treatment if they experience this situation. The laryngeal mask airway could be alternative approach for this situation. We report a glottal papillomatous patient who was treated by pulsed dye laser via laryngeal mask airway after failure of vocal fold surgery via endotracheal intubation. The patient was a 73-year-old man. Laryngoscopy revealed a severe diffuse papillomatous lesion on right true vocal cord, anterior commissure, and partial left true vocal cord. The patient was refered for difficult laryngeal exposure during laryngomicrosurgey under general endotracheal anesthesia.

Surgical fires require an ignition source, oxidizer, and fuel. The pulsed dye laser (PDL) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids in dermatology. With the increasing number of applications of $CO_2$, laser as ignition source has been associated with operating room fires in the otorhinolaryngologic field. There have been many case reports on PDL-induced fires in dermatology, but until now, there were no reports in the larynx. We describe a 57-year-old patient diagnosed with laryngeal hyperkeratosis treated by PDL-assisted laryngomicrosurgery. In this case, we experienced incidental PDL tip flaring during pulsed dye laser vaporization.

Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that is histopathologically characterized by abnormal differentiation and hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, infiltration of T lymphocytes, and alternations of the dermal vasculature. Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is commonly used to treat cutaneous vascular lesions, and it has been studied for the treatment of localized psoriatic lesions. A 30-year-old female patient with refractory psoriasis on her forehead was treated using PDL. After two sessions, the size of the psoriatic lesion increased, which might have occurred due to koebnerization. As the patient continued to receive PDL treatment, the lesion showed significant improvement with no recurrence on the one-year follow-up. We present here a case of refractory psoriasis treated with PDL and demonstrates an association between a delayed therapeutic effect and the Koebner phenomenon.

Single mode pulsed incidence dye laser which has TEMoo spatial beam pattern, near gaussian temporal shape and narrow band width(less than 500MHz) has been constructed The improved performance comes as a results of cavity length(~5cm) and definition of optical path by means of longitudinal pumping. Using 1.0X10-4M RH-6G dye, conversion efficiency was approximately 2.2% and tuning range was 548-564nm.

Pulsed dye laser(PDL) is originally designed for the treatment of vascular lesions but also effective in improving the quality and appearance of surgical scars. Recently, 595nm Pulsed dye laser(V-beam laser), which has the advantage of deeper tissue penetration and lesser amount of purpura, is spotlighted as a new option for the treatment of surgical scar. The authors treated a surgical scar of a female patient with V-beam laser for 3 times between 4 and 12 weeks after surgery. Subjective satisfaction was improved with visual analogue scale (VAS) and objective improvements were found in parameters of vascularity, pliability and height with Vancouver Scar Scale(VSS). We report the effectiveness of V-beam laser in surgical scar of Asian patient and plan the prospective study with larger scale.

Introduction: 585 nm Pulsed dye laser (PDL) laryngeal surgery is based on the photodynamic characteristics of selective photothermolysis and photoangiolysis and recently considered to be the treatment for a variety of benign laryngeal disease. Objective: To review the indications and outcome of office-based 585nm PDL surgery and summarize new developments. Method: Retrospective study involving 402 patients was performed, The PDL surgery could be applied to various laryngeal diseases such as laryngeal papilloma, vocal fold dysplasia, laryngeal granuloma, vocal polyp, capillarectasia, scarred vocal fold and sulcus vocalis. Results : The physiologic properties of the vascular specificity of PDL provide many advantages and appear to be effective for laryngeal treatment. The PDL resulted in precise, selective coagulation of the microvasculature without damage to the surrounding tissue. Therefore PDL surgery is safe and effective for office-based treatment of benign laryngeal disease and for all patients regardless of their overall medical condition. Conclusion: PDL surgery provides potential benefits and advantage for treating common benign laryngeal disease.

The counter electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) play roles in not only collecting electrons from external circuit but also reducing I3- to I- in electrolytes. Generally, conventional counter electrodes for DSSCs are prepared from the high temperature treatment of the H2PtCl6 precursor solution at $400^{\circ}C$ However, the more simplified fabrication process of counter electrodes is required for the commercialization of DSSCs. In this work, we developed novel fabrication process of counter electrodes using nano-second pulsed laser. DSSCs employing counter electrodes prepared by laser process showed conversion efficiency of 6.75% with short-circuit current of 12.73 mA/cm2, open-circuit voltage of 0.74 V and fill factor of 0.72. Closer investigating of photovoltaic properties will be reported.

Background and Objectives: The 585-nm pulsed dye laser (PDL) has recently been adopted by otolaryngologists because of its epithelial-sparing properties. Many authors have reported the use of PDL for treatment of various vocal cord lesions. This purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of 585-nm PDL in the treatment of vocal polyp. Materials and Methods: Eight patients with vocal polyp were treated with 585-nm PDL from Sep. 2006 to Nov. 2006 in Yong-dong Sevrance hospital. 5 of them went through local anesthesia and 3 of them went through general anesthesia. In order to control laser fiber, flexible digital transnasal laryngoscope was applied under local anesthesia and general anesthesia using LMA, and micromanipulator was used under general anesthesia using endotracheal tube. The evaluations of vocal function was done at pre-and postoperation. Results: All patients improved in the perceptual evaluation of voice after PDL surgery. The aerodynamic study revealed that 5 of 8 patients showed improvement in maximal phonation time, and 6 of 8 showed improvement in mean airflow rate during phonation. The acoustic analysis revealed that all patients showed improvement in Jitter and Shimmer, and 7 of 8 showed improvement in noise to harmony ratio. Conclusion: This study demonstrates promising results in the efficacy of 585-nm PDL for the treatment of vocal polyps, and it illustrates a new option for vocal polyp treatment as well as the advantage of PDL surgery.
