Research Trend and Future Perspective of Plasma-Assisted Health Care Technology
Hae June Lee(Pusan National University, Korea, Republic of ), Kiwon Song(Yonsei University, Korea, Republic of )

The fusion technology combining electrical engineering, chemistry, and biology attract lots of attentions nowadays not only because of its scientific significance but also of its wide range of applications and commercialization. A recently rising technology among them is plasma-assisted health care technology which merges biology, electronics, and plasma chemistry in atmospheric pressure. The research trend and future perspectives of plasma-assisted health care technology are summarized for sterilization, wound healing, and cancer cell treatment.

Medical device industry and the medical cluster in Daegu, Korea
Jeong-Woo Sohn, Suk Tae Seo, Sang Il Lee(Daegu-Gyeongbuk Medical Innovation Foundation, Korea, Republic of )

Many Korean companies in medical device industry are mostly small and medium sized and face low profit and low R&D investment. To promote medical device industry, Korean government has launched a medical cluster projects in 2009 continuing to 2038. One of them is Medivally project located in Daegu. The core facilities of the Medivalley include Medical Device Development Center (MDDC), main goal of which is providing one-stop solution encompassing applied R&D support, prototyping, effectiveness evaluations etc. for whoever needs them focusing on ICT basesed high-tech medical devices.

Design of A Microneedles Array With Swellable Tips For Mechanical Interlocking With Soft Tissues
Keum-Yong Seong, Seung Yun Yang(Pusan National University, Korea, Republic of )

Here we present a double-layered microneedle array consisting of a poly(styrene)-block-poly(acrylic acid) swellable tip and non-swellable polystyrene core, achieving mechanical interlocking with tissues. With optimum swellable tip height, the patch-type microneedle adhesive showed enhanced adhesion strength to wet skin compared to a flat patch.

Effective and Long-lasting Tooth Bleaching by Non-Thermal Atmospheric Pressure Plasma: A 6-month Evaluation
Seoul Hee Nam, Jin Woo Hong, Gyoo-Cheon Kim(Pusan National University, Korea, Republic of )

Effective and Long-lasting Tooth Bleaching by Non-Thermal Atmospheric Pressure Plasma: A 6-month Evaluation The problem associated with bleached teeth is to return to the original tooth color over time. Because the long-term color stability after tooth bleaching is very important, novel technique is requested. This study is to evaluate the long-term color stability of tooth bleached by nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma with 15% hydrogen peroxide (HP) or 15% carbamide peroxide (CP). Extracted human teeth were assigned to 4 groups (n = 10): Group 1 was treated with plasma activated 15% HP;
