Abstract: Disclosed is a composition for treating arthritis containing a dibenzo-p-dioxin derivative as an active ingredient. This dibenzo-p-dioxin derivative is very effective in inhibiting NF-kB and AP-1 activity, alleviates the symptoms of degenerative arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis without irritating the skin or causing side effects, and can continue to exhibit improvement effects for a considerable period of time after discontinuation of treatment. Additionally, when the dibenzo-p-dioxin derivative is contained in liposomes, the composition of the invention exhibits much greater effects on treating arthritis by absorption through skin, and thus is useful for the treatment of degenerative arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract: A method for aligning quantum dots effectively controls a growth position of the quantum dots for obviating an irregularity of a position of spontaneous formation quantum dots, and thus aligns the quantum dots in one-dimension (1-D) or two-dimension (2-D). A semiconductor device fabricated using the method manufactures a superlattice layer layer for adjusting an internal strain distribution by alternately depositing two semiconductor materials having different lattice constant, and grows spontaneous formation quantum dots on the superlattice layer. As a result, a strained force caused by the superlattice layer influences on the quantum dots so that the quantum dots can be regularly aligned.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming a quantum dots array. In the method of the present invention, a structure of wire-like quantum dots with good quality is formed in materials having an inconsistency in the lattice constant on a tilted substrate by using the binding property of atomic bonding due to chemical bonding steps of the tilted substrate, and the spacing of the wire-like quantum dots is varied by using the step width of the tilted substrate which is transformed due to a partial pressure of a source gas and the thickness of a buffer layer. The invention allows materials having an inconsistency in the lattice constant to be freely formed in the form of quantum wires with a growing technique only and accordingly to be used as base materials in use for manufacture of novel concept of optoelectronic devices which have not been obtained so far.
