Abstract:
An upconversion nanoparticle includes at least one host selected from LiYF4, NaY, NaYF4, NaGdF4, and CaF3, at least one sensitizer selected from Sm3+, Nd3+, Dy3+, Ho3+, and Yb3+ doped in the at least one host, and at least one activator selected from Er3+, Ho3+, Tm3+, and Eu3+ doped in the at least one host. The upconversion nanoparticle is designed using a calculation from first principles to absorb light in the near-infrared wavelength range whose stability is ensured. Further, a hyaluronic acid-upconversion nanoparticle conjugate, in which the upconversion nanoparticle as described above is bonded to hyaluronic acid, is provided to be used in various internal sites with a hyaluronic acid receptor, particularly enables targeting, and increases an internal retention period and biocompatibility thereof.

Abstract:
Provided are a hyaluronic acid derivative for liver-targeting delivery via intravenous injection of cells and a preparation method thereof. More particularly, provided are a preparation method of a hyaluronic acid derivative capable of modifying the surface of cells and also having biocompatibility, biodegradability, and liver-targeting deliver property, and use of the hyaluronic acid derivative prepared thereby as a liver-targeting cell delivery system.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a microneedle, a sensor for detecting nitrogen monoxide, including the microneedle, a medical apparatus including the microneedle, and a manufacturing method thereof. The microneedle of the present invention may detect whether nitrogen monoxide is present or not by using electrochemical principles. Further, a change in concentration of nitrogen monoxide may be sensed in real time. The effects of detecting nitrogen monoxide may be used to diagnose cancer and forecast the size and growth degree of a tumor.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a complex for remedying or treating a retinal disease. The complex includes a hyaluronic acid or a derivative thereof, a carbon nanomaterial covalently bonded to the hyaluronic acid or the derivative thereof, and a photosensitizer bonded to the carbon nanomaterial. The complex for remedying or treating the retinal disease according to the present invention includes a hyaluronic acid-carbon nanomaterial-photosensitizer complex, thus selectively preventing the formation of active oxygen in retinal pigment epithelium cells for a relatively long period of time. Accordingly, the complex has excellent therapeutic efficacy and easily infiltrates into cells. Further, the present invention provides a composition for remedying or treating a retinal disease including the hyaluronic acid-carbon nanomaterial-photosensitizer complex.
