Abstract: An atomic layer deposition method for manufacturing a platinum-based alloy catalyst includes applying a support in a reactor and depositing an alloy of platinum and a non-platinum metal on the support through a super cycle comprising a first sub-cycle and a second sub-cycle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating chronic kidney disease, the composition including graphene quantum dots as an active ingredient. Graphene quantum dots according to the present invention were observed to exhibit the effects of decreasing the expression of fibronectin, collagen 1al, Bax, TGF-?1, Smad2/3, ?-SMA, etc., which are renal fibrosis-related proteins, and increasing the expression of E-cadherin, Smad7, MnSOD, and SOD1, and thereby suppress renal fibrosis. Accordingly, it is expected that the graphene quantum dots according to the present invention will be able to be effectively used in the field of developing agents for treating or alleviating chronic kidney disease caused by renal fibrosis.

Abstract: A biological environment simulating apparatus using rotational force includes a mounting unit on which a cell to be pressurized is mounted, a rotational force application unit configured to apply centripetal force to the mounting unit to make the mounting unit perform a circular movement along a circular path about a predetermined center point and a control unit. The control unit controls the rotational force application unit based on a type of the cell and an appropriate pressure condition matched with the type of the cell so that a pressure satisfying the appropriate pressure condition is applied to the cell.

Abstract: A kit for diagnosing a renal disease or predicting prognosis of the renal disease from urine includes a binding molecule specifically bound to cMet protein contained in the urine. When a level of cMet protein in urine is higher than a normal group, this condition is diagnosed as the renal disease or predicted to have poor prognosis thereof. A screening method of a substance for treatment of renal disease includes first-measuring a level of cMet protein in urine of an object, injecting a sample to be analyzed into the object, and second-measuring the level of cMet protein in urine of the object. When the level of cMet protein in the second-measuring is lower than the level of cMet protein in the first-measuring, the sample to be analyzed is the substance for treatment of renal disease.

Abstract: This application relates to an apparatus and a method for creating an image of the area around a vehicle. The apparatus for creating an image of the area around a vehicle creates an aerial-view image by converting an image of an area around a vehicle; creates a movement-area aerial-view image that is an aerial view of a movement area of the vehicle; creates a combined aerial-view image by combining a subsequent aerial-view image, which is a current image created after the previous aerial-view image is created, with the movement-area aerial-view image that is a past image; and creates a corrected combined aerial-view image by correcting an image to differentiate the subsequent aerial-view image that is the current image and the movement-area aerial-view image.

Abstract: This application relates to an apparatus and a method for creating an image of the area around a vehicle. The apparatus for creating an image of an area around a vehicle according to this application includes: a camera unit that creates an image of a peripheral area; an aerial-view image creation unit that creates an aerial-view image by converting a view point of the taken image; a movement information extraction unit that extracts information about movement of the vehicle; a movement-area aerial-view image creation unit that creates a movement-area aerial-view image, which is an aerial view of the area to which the vehicle has moved; and a combined aerial-view image creation unit that combines an aerial-view image subsequent to the previous aerial-view image with the movement-area aerial-view image.
