The quality control of pathological specimens is important for accurate molecular pathology testing. This study evaluated that specimen factors affecting the DNA quality during tissue processing and sample types for BRAF, EGFR, and KRAS mutations tests. One thousand seven hundred and seventy-two molecular pathology tests were investigated for the factors influencing the DNA quality, such as sample type, formalin fixation time, and reexamination status. Cytology samples stored in a saline solution had better DNA quality than commercial cytology preservation. Tissue samples fixed in formalin within 24 hours had better DNA quality than the samples fixed over 24 hours. Between the types of samples, fresh tissue samples and tissue samples with a high tumor cell density had relatively better DNA quality than the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues and cytology specimens. Of real-time PCR, the non-PNA Ct value increased proportionally with samples held for longer than 24 hours in formalin, and that the formalin-fixed time affects the sample DNA quality. In conclusion, the appropriate tumor cellularity and 10% neutral formalin fixation time are the most important factors for maintaining the DNA quality. These factors should be managed properly for an accurate pathological molecular test to ensure optimal DNA quality.

Purpose: Autopipetting system is an efficient automated equipment pipetting patient samples and reagents for rapid and accurate test. However, it can cause carryover between high concentration sample and low concentration sample. We evaluated carryover contamination of TECAN freedom Evo 100 autopipetting system. Materials and Method: We studied carryover contamination of $\alpha$-fetoprotein (AFP) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test on TECAN freedom Evo 100 autopipetting system. Very low concentration control samples were pipetted for comparison to the contaminated very low concentration samples. Then, The contaminated very low concentration samples were pipetted following the high concentration samples were pipetted alternately. The difference of low concentration samples represents carryover. The target value to decide carryover was 1ppm (parts per million). Results: For AFP, the mean values of the uncontaminated control samples and the contaminated samples were less than 0.6 IU/mL (the l imit of detection (LoD)). Carryover did not occur even though the high concentration sample which value was 650000 IU/mL. For CEA, the values of the low concentration control samples and the contaminated samples were less than 0.2 ng/mL (LoD). Carryover did not occur even though the high concentration sample which value was 65,000 ng/mL. Conclusions: Sample carryover was not found on TECAN freedom Evo 100 autopipetting system for AFP, CEA. However, carryover is a potential problem with automated instruments and robotic pipetting systems. Therefore, Clinical laboratories must periodically verify carryover contamination for the accurate and confidential test results.

Although the demand for histopathological examinations has been increasing, medical accidents in management of specimens also have been increasing because most of the examinations are processed manually which can cause careless handing, confusing information and mismatching during the procedure. In the future, histopatological examination will be used frequently for handing incurable diseases and verification of new drug. Thus, efficient and error-free management system for handling personalized medical history and test results is infallibly necessary. In this paper, I have proposed an integrated printing system for informatization of histopathological examination that support the u-Healthcare environment based on RFID in near future. The proposed system supports systematization of whole examination process and information of pathological samples. This system will contribute to reduction of costs, improvement of operational efficiency, and mostly fundamental prevention of medical accidents.

Purpose: Cancerous death rate 1 place from 2008 year domestic is the lung cancer. The body count which is caused by in the lung cancer every year is increasing. At this lung cancer is the most non small cell lung cancer. $Monototal^{TM}$ test is short reaction time. it is known as the experiment where the example standard of living is high about non small cell lung cancer. This is the study evaluate usefulness of $Monototal^{TM}$ kit. Materials and Methods: $Monototal^{TM}$ were measured using IRMA kit, using 40 CEA positive patients sample which are diagnosed NSCLC, 15 SCC positive patients sample which are diagnosed NSCLC, 40 Cyfra 21-1 positive sample, 20 negative sample in Seoul national university from March to April, 2009. Results: According to result of the $Monototal^{TM}$ test, which is benignancy rate 87.5% in CEA positive patients sample, 93.3% SCC positive patients sample and 100% Cyfra 21-1 positive sample Conclusions: We recommend that using of $Monototal^{TM}$ parallel with different tumor markers. It was useful that diagnosis and convalescence presumption of Non small cell lung cancer.

최근 햄버거 병을 시작으로 살충제 계란파동, E형간염 소시지까지, 급증한 식품안전 사고는 국민식품소비를 위축시키고 막연한 공포감 조성으로 올바른 식품섭취를 유지할 수 없도록 한다. 국민소득 증가와 더불어 식품의 안전성에 대한 소비자의 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 소비자는 보다 안전한 먹거리를 공급해줄 것을 요구하고 있다. 이에 대한 대응책을 마련하고자 정부와 식품업계, 학계 등은 고심하고 있다. 본 연구는 4차산업혁명에 발맞추어 식품안전분야에 ICT기술을 활용한 생산에서 소비자까지의 식품공급망의 안전관리를 체계화하는 FSMS(Food Safety Management System)을 구성해보고 그를 통한 식품의 안전도를 시험분석을 통해 효과를 검증하는 것이 목적이다. 본 연구는 FSMS의 기술요소인 빅데이터, 온습도IoT센서 등을 Pilot Test하고 FSMS 도입전과 도입후의 검체를 체품하여 공인식품시험검사기관에서 검체의 미생물수 분석을 통해 최종적으로 FSMS의 도입효과와 모형도를 제시하였다.

현재 서울대학교 병원에서 실시하는 300여 가지의 검사중에서 약200여 가지가 혈액으로 실시된다 그러므로 혈액검사를 실시하였다고 하면 어느 특정한 검사를 말하는 것이 아니고 단지 혈액이라는 검체를 사용했다는 뜻이다.
