A coastal site off Wei-An in Penghu is exceptionally diverse in the nudibranch composition. A total of 65 species (or 88% of the 74 species recorded in Penghu) of these highly colorful marine snails, which are considered as the undersea jewels by divers, have been recorded there. The research team has so far found about 230 species of nudibranchs, including 10 possible new species, for Taiwan and adjacent islands.

The best quality crystals (LAO, LGO) of 2 inch in size in the world has been developed to reduce the total production cost for light emitting and laser emitting diodes. These crystals are very promising for the great commercial opportunities.
World leading research for 270nm super-bandwidth emission for a Cr-doped glass fiber, demonstrating the first 2dB net-gain for crystal fiber amplifier.
NSYSU Ph.D. student (Ms. Yun-Wen Chi in Electrical Engineering Department) reported a very-small-size (0.6 cm3 , the smallest so far) internal loop antenna for penta-band mobile phones. (2008.01.09)
NSYSU Biological Sciences Department research team led by Prof. Chung-Lung Cho reported the first paper on the DNA study of schizophrenia (paper entitled “Short Telomerases in Patients with Chronic Schizophrenia Who Show Poor Response to Treatment”) in Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience. (2008.01.14)
Prof. Jen-taie Shiea of NSYSU Chemistry Department developed a mass spectrometric ion source which could rapidly detect solid or liquid samples. It was also used for food security, biomarkers of disease, analysis of components in high-molecule chemical materials, and criminal investigation to eliminate the time consumption. In the future, this method may be modified as a live portable detector for rapid detection on terrorism prevention. (2008.01.18)
New strategy for Cancer Treatment
NSYSU-KMU Joint Research Center has novel findings for the mechanism of lymphatic cancer metastasis and therapeutic application. Dr. Wen-chun Hung of the center found that the protein product of RECK gene exhibited potent effect on the suppression of matrix metalloproteinase activity and attenuated metastasis of lung cancer cells; animal study verified the anti-cancer effect of this protein in vivo.
Dr. Hung’s group also found that overexpression of a chemokine receptor CCR7 is critical for the invasion of breast cancer cells into lymph node. It is predictable that drugs, synthetic compounds or natural products which can repress CCR7 may inhibit breast cancer metastasis. (Released on 2008.05.28)
Surveying the site of undersea ancient culture at Magong Harbor and Hangan sea area in Penghu is ahead of Taiwan to integrate archaeology, culture assets preserve, search and distinguish technology into underwater archaeological studies and across the research field.

RECK is a membrane-anchored glycoprotein which may negatively regulate matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity to suppress tumor invasion. We produced recombinant proteins corresponding to the residues 285-368 (named as CKM which contained cysteine knot motif), 605-799 (named as K123 which contained three Kazal motifs), 676-799 (named as K23 which contained the last two Kazal motifs) and full-length RECK and compared their anti-cancer effects on human lung cancer cells. Our data demonstrated that full-length RECK and K23 inhibited MMP9 activity and cell invasion and reduced metastatic tumor growth in lungs of nude mice. Thus, the K23 motif of RECK protein can be developed as an anti-metastatic peptide drug and may be useful for cancer treatment (published in Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine).
New mass spectrometric ionization sources (ELDI and ALMS) were developed to rapidly characterize small and large chemicals in the area of food safety, pharmaceutical, proteomics, anti-terrorism, and forensic science. Global patents have been filed to TW, US, JP, Euro, and Russia. Commercialization of the ion sources is under going.
The research team under Prof. J. C. Huang in the Nano center has successfully developed high strength and high ductility multi-component nanocrystalline and/or amorphous alloys (metallic glasses) in the bulk and thin film form. Such new category materials can be applied as anti-biotic biomedical surgeon tools, anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation ocean/marine applicants, high stiffness micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). The work is in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and University of Tennessee, USA, and the core results are published in Applied Physics Letters and Physical Review B, etc.
