jin soo kim Interview
No full textArtist Bio: jin soo kim was born in 1950 in Seoul, during the Korean War. In 1974, after receiving her B.S. from Seoul National University, kim left Korea. Upon arriving in Los Angeles, the severity of the culture shock was such that after eight months, she moved to a remote rural town Macomb Illinois, forty miles east of the Mississippi River. She began studying art in Western Illinois University while working at a hospital as a registered nurse.
In 1983, kim went on to receive an MFA at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Since then, her work has been the subject of numerous one-person shows and she has participated in various exhibitions. kim has been teaching at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago since 1990. Living in Evanston, Illinois, she has been making art

국문요약 31MasterBackground and Objectives: Melasma is an acquired hyperpigmentary disorder mainly on the face. Tranexamic acid (TA), a plasmin inhibitor, has been suggested as an efficient treatment modality on melasma. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and action mechanism of topical TA in the treatment of melasma.
Material and methods: Twenty three healthy Korean females with melasma were enrolled, and applied 2% TA formulation on the whole face for 12 weeks. Pigmentation and erythema were objectively assessed using melasma severity scale (MSS), modified melasma area and severity index (mMASI), and chromameter. The subject satisfaction questionnaire was also documented. Skin biopsies were obtained from 10 subjects on baseline and 12 weeks after treatment. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses were performed.
Results: After 12 weeks, significant improvement in MSS and mMASI showed in 22 of 23 patients. L* values were increased in both lesional and perilesional normal skin after 12 weeks. The improvement was noticed in 4 weeks. a* values were decreased in both lesional and perilesional normal skin. Subjective satisfaction score was improved. Fontana-Masson staining showed significant decrease of pigmentation in both lesional and perilesional normal skin after treatment. There were no changes in vascularity and number of mast cells. ET-1 expression was significantly decreased in the epidermis of both lesional and perilesional normal skin after treatment. SCF expression in the epidermis was significantly decreased in the lesional skin after treatment. There were no changes in expressions of α-MSH, EP2, and VEGF.
Conclusion: Topical TA improved pigmentation and erythema in melasma. Decreased expression of ET-1 and SCF in the epidermis after treatment was suspected to be an action mechanism of topical TA for melasma treatment

Quantum communication with time-bin entanglement over a wavelength-multiplexed fiber network
No full textIn a quantum network involving multiple communicating parties, an important goal is to establish high-quality pairwise entanglement among the users without introducing multiple entangled-photon sources which would necessarily complicate the overall network setup. Moreover, it is preferable that the pairwise entanglement of photons is in the time-bin degree of freedom as the photonic time-bin qubit is ideally suited for fiber-optic distribution. Here, we report an experimental demonstration of a field-deployable quantum communication network involving multiple users, all of whom share pairwise entanglement in the time-bin degree of freedom of photons. In particular, by utilizing a single spontaneous-parametric down-conversion source which produces a broadband pair of photons and the wavelength-division demultiplexing/multiplexing technology, all the communicating parties within the network are always simultaneously ready for quantum communication. To further demonstrate the practical feasibility of a quantum network with time-bin entanglement over a wavelength-multiplexed fiber network, we demonstrate entangled-photon quantum key distribution with three users, each separated by 60 km of optical fibers.& nbsp;(c) 2022 Author(s).
