Abstract: A Maclura pubescens extract or fraction or a Prunus cerasoides extract or fraction having neuroglobin (Ngb) activation and neuroprotective effects and, on the basis thereof, a neuroprotective composition containing, as an active ingredient, a Maclura pubescens extract or fraction or a Prunus cerasoides extract or fraction. The neuroprotective composition can be used, through the activation of neuroglobin (Ngb), as a pharmaceutical composition or a food composition for treatment, alleviation and prevention of a stroke, a cerebral infarction, thrombosis, cerebral degenerative disease, vascular dementia, memory loss, short-term memory impairment, a concentration disorder, anxiety, nervousness and the like, and for brain damage protection, brain function improvement and cranial nerve cell protection.

Abstract: A lens includes a lens portion; a multilayer anti-reflective (AR) coating layer, including either one or both of a low refractive index layer and a high refractive index layer, disposed on one surface of the lens portion; and a water-repellent layer, including a water repellent, disposed on one surface of the multilayer AR coating layer. Either one or both of the low refractive index layer and the high refractive index layer are formed of a nitride-based material with a band gap greater than 3.1 eV.

Abstract: A lens includes a lens unit, an intermediate layer disposed on one surface of the lens unit, a first coating layer including a UV improving additive and disposed on one surface of the intermediate layer, and a second coating layer including a water repellent and disposed on one surface of the first coating layer.

Abstract: A lens includes a lens unit; an intermediate layer configured to cover a surface portion of the lens unit; and a water-repellent layer, configured to cover a surface portion of the intermediate layer, including a base layer and an ultraviolet (UV) absorber disposed in the base layer.
