  • The interest of self-organization materials that have uniform and regular structure in nano scale has been grown due to their utilization in various fields of nanotechnology. An attractive candidate among these materials is anodic aluminum oxide film, which are formed by anodization of aluminum in an appropriate acid solution. The anodic aluminum oxide film has a highly ordered porous structure with very uniform and nearly parallel pores that can be organized in an almost precise close-packed hexagonal structure. In this study, we attempt to make Au dot arrays, which were fabricated using anodic aluminum oxide film as an evaporation mask. The Au dot arrays have a uniform sized dots and spacing to its neighbors and the average diameter of Au dots is about 60 nm corresponding to them of the mask.

  • Background: Most developing countries have been unable to implement well-organized health care systems, especially comprehensive Pap smear screening-based programs. One of the reasons for this is regional differences in medical services, and a low-cost portable cervical screening system is necessary. To improve regional discrepancies in cervical screening systems, we investigated the usefulness and acceptability of cervical selfsampling by liquid-based cytology (LBC) for 290 volunteers in the Lao PDR. Materials and Methods: Following health education with comprehensive documents, cervical self-sampling kits by LBC were distributed in three provincial, district, and village areas to a total of 290 volunteers, who were asked to take cytology samples by themselves. Subsequently, the acceptability of self-sampling was evaluated using a questionnaire. Results: The documents were well understood in all three regions. Regarding the acceptability of self-sampling, the selections for subsequent screening were 62% self-sampling, 36% gynecologist-sampling, 1% either method, and 1% other methods. The acceptability rates were higher in the district and the village than in the province. For the relationship between acceptability and pregnancy, the self-sampling selection rate was higher in the pregnancy-experienced group (75%) than in the pregnancy-inexperienced group (60%). For the relationship between selection of self-sampling and experience of screening, the self-sampling selection rate was higher in the screening-inexperienced group (62%) than in the screening-experienced group (52%). Conclusions: Our data show that this new way forward, involving a combination of self-sampling and LBC, is highly acceptable regardless of age, educational background, and residence in rural areas in a developing country.

  • Background: A major problem with cervical cancer screening in countries which have no organized national screening program for cervical cancer is sub-optimal participation. Implementation of self-sampling method may increase the coverage. Objective: We determined the agreement of cytological diagnoses made on samples collected by women themselves (self-sampling) versus samples collected by physicians (Physician sampling). Materials and Methods: We invited women volunteers to undergo two procedures; cervical self-sampling using the Evalyn brush and physician sampling using a Cervex brush. The women were shown a video presentation on how to take their own cervical samples before the procedure. The samples taken by physicians were taken as per routine testing (Gold Standard). All samples were subjected to Thin Prep monolayer smears. The diagnoses made were according to the Bethesda classification. The results from these two sampling methods were analysed and compared. Results: A total of 367 women were recruited into the study, ranging from 22 to 65 years age. There was a significant good agreement of the cytological diagnoses made on the samples from the two sampling methods with the Kappa value of 0.568 (p=0.040). Using the cytological smears taken by physicians as the gold standard, the sensitivity of self-sampling was 71.9% (95% CI:70.9-72.8), the specificity was 86.6% (95% CI:85.7-87.5), the positive predictive value was 74.2% (95% CI:73.3-75.1) and the negative predictive value was 85.1% (95% CI: 84.2-86.0). Self-sampling smears (22.9%) allowed detection of micro-organisms better than physicians samples (18.5%). Conclusions: This study shows that samples taken by women themselves (self-sampling) and physicians have good diagnostic agreement. Self-sampling could be the method of choice in countries in which the coverage of women attending clinics for screening for cervical cancer is poor.

  • Bone is considered as hierarchically organized biocomposites of organic (collagen) and inorganic (hydroxyapatite) materials. The precise structural dependence between hydroxyapatite (HAp, $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2)$ crystals and collagen fibril is critical to unique characteristics of bone. To meet those conditions and obtain optimal properties, it is essential to understand and control the initial growth mechanisms of hydroxyapatite at the molecular level, such as other nano-structured materials. In this study, collagen fibrils were prepared by adsorbing native type I collagen molecules onto hydrophobic surface. Hydrophobicity was introduced on the Si wafer surface by using PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) method and cyclohexane as a precursor. Biomimetic nucleation and growth of HAp on the self-assembled collagen nanofibrils were occurred through incubation of the sample in SBF (simulated body fluid). Chemical and morphological evolution of HAp nanocrystals was investigated by surface-sensitive analytical techniques such as ToF-SIMS (Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) in the early growth stages (< 24 hrs). The very initial stages (< 12 hrs) of mineralization could be clearly demonstrated by ToF-SIMS chemical mapping of surface. In addition to ToF-SIMS and AFM measurement, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis were conducted to characterize the HAp layer in the late stages. This study is of great importance in the growth of real bone-like materials with a structure analogous to that of natural bones and the development of biomimetic nanomaterials.

  • Digital therapy has emerged as a novel treatment modality, propelled by advancements in information and communication technology. In the last five years, there has been a substantial surge in research publications addressing digital therapeutics (DTx) interventions, signaling a sustained upward trajectory in this field. The dynamic nature of computer science, marked by continuous innovation and development, underscores the need for agile adaptation to rapid changes. Consequently, computer science education is compelled to offer students insights into the latest trends. This research endeavors to contribute to the evolving landscape by developing textbooks that impart knowledge about DTx, an integration of information technology. The study focuses on the application of these textbooks to elementary and middle school students in South Korea. The instructional materials have been carefully organized to enable students to learn about the principle of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) DTx at the elementary level and the DTx that can prevent and address the digital drama at the middle school level. Based on the application of the textbook, students who received instruction using the textbook showed statistically significant improvements in all subcategories of creative problem-solving ability, including idea modification, visualization, task focus, analogy, idea generation, and elaboration (p<.01). Additionally, there were statistically significant changes in students' self-efficacy before and after using the textbook, with negative efficacy decreasing, and positive efficacy and social efficacy increasing (p<.001).

  • In recent years, there has been large interest in the fabrication of the self organized nanoscale structures since not only their potential utilization in electronic, optoelectronic, and magnetic devices but also their fundamental interest such as uniformity and regularization. An attractive candidate of these materials is anodic porous alumina film(Al$_2$O$_3$) which is formed by the anodization of aluminum in an appropriate acid solution. In this study to fabricate the porous alumina film with very uniform and nearly parallel pores the anodization was carried out under constant voltage mode in 0.3M oxalic acid as an electrolyte. The hexagonally ordered arrays with a few $\mu\textrm{m}$ in size two-dimensional polycrystalline structure were obtained of which pore densities were 1.1${\times}$10$\^$10//$\textrm{cm}^2$.

  • One of the promising routes for producing highly ordered nanostructures is a template method using the porous alumina membrane (PAM). Because the PAM is mechanically, chemically, thermally stabile with highly ordered structure, many researchers have studied under various experimental conditions to fabricate nanostructures. We present the information on the fabrication of about 300 nm nano-mask which have important applications for various patterned nanostructures.

  • Dentists have been striving to find ways to relieve patients' pain and discomfort. The prestige of dentists is made up of dentists' self-sacrifice, academic research and pursuit of patients' well being. However, nowadays the dentists' prestige has been lost and practice on humanity has merely existed. At this time, it is meaningful to shed new light on life of a pioneer in Korean dentistry and take some time for self-examination. Today, we are going to look into life of Dr. Jong-Suh Ahn and his achievements in Korean dentistry. In 1925, Dr. Ahn Jong Suh graduated from KyungSung Dental school as a first graduating class. Then, he learned advanced dentistry at Severance Hospital and in April of 1932 as a young dentist with full of potentials, he opened his dental clinic in Tianjin, China. As an awakening Korean, in 1925 he organized an association of Korean dentists, called HanSung Dental Association and worked as a secretary to manage general affairs. Han Sung Dental Association later became today's Korean Dental Association. On December 9th, 1945, he founded ChoSun Dental Association. He accomplished great deals during his five consecutive terms as a chairman and held other important positions with prestige to lead and expand the scope Korean dental association. There were three other successors to Dr. Ahn as the presidents of Dental Association. Dr. Yong-Jin Kim had a great interest in internal affairs and dental materials. Dr. Myung-Jin Park was active in scientific affairs and Dr. Dong-Chan Han focused on smooth operation of the association. From 1945 to 1963, Dr. Ahn submitted important agendas such as dentist's qualification, scientific and academic affairs, general affairs, dental materials, public oral health, and dental administration to Dental Association's general meeting and central committee. Dr. Ahn overcame hardships of Japanese imperialism, celebrated independence of Korea, experienced 6.25 Korean War and lived through evolving Korean dentistry in 1960s. Dr. Jong-Suh Ahn, who showed the prestige of dentist and expanded the scope of dental association, is exemplary to all dentists.
