Abstract: A method of personalizing a vehicle lamp includes drawing an image made up of a plurality of pixels that implement a vehicle lamp, based on an input by a user. The method also includes converting the drawn image into light-and-shade data that correspond to the pixels, respectively, multiplying a pixel light distribution value, corresponding to each pixel, by a weighted value based on the data resulting from the conversion, adding up results of the multiplication, and deriving total light distribution of the pixels that results when brightness of the vehicle lamp is the same as that of the drawn image. The method further includes comparing the derived total light distribution against a predetermined reference value and determining whether the derived total light distribution satisfies a predetermined light distribution reference, and applying the drawn image to the vehicle lamp when it is determined that a predetermined light distribution reference is satisfied.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer, capable of targeting PSMA, and a compound provided by one aspect of the present invention has a glutamine-urea-lysine compound to which a radioactive metal-coupled chelator is structurally coupled and to which an aryl group that can additionally bind to PSMA protein is coupled. Coupling between the glutamine-urea-lysine compound and the chelator includes a polar spacer so as to serve the role of reducing in vivo nonspecific coupling and exhibit an effect of being rapidly removed from vital organs, but not from prostate cancer. These characteristics lower the radiation exposure, which is caused by a therapeutic radioisotope-coupled compound, to normal tissue and organs, and thus reduce side effects. In addition, a compound that contains a phenyl group having a coupling force with albumin has an increased residence time in the blood, thereby becoming more accumulated in prostate cancer.
