BACTEC MGIT 960 system의 mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) 오염 제거과정의 효율성을 평가하기 위하여 기존 3% Ogawa media와 마이코박테리아의 배양 양상을 비교하였다. 검체는 5% sodium hydroxide (NaOH)과 0.5% N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NALC)를 처리하여 MGIT와 Ogawa media에 접종하였다. 배양된 마이코박테리아는 결핵균(mycobacterium tuberculosis, TB) 항원 kit로 동정하였다. 만약 MGIT에서 5일 이내에 오염균 배양되면 오염제거 과정을 반복하였다. BACTEC MGIT 960 system에 장착한 MGIT 4,790건 중 1,190건(24.8%)이 배양 양성의 결과를 보였고 이중 278건을 재처리 하였다. MGIT와 Ogawa media 사이의 결과를 비교하였을 때 불일치 결과(weighted kappa value: 0.283)를 보였고, 특히 TB 1건과 nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) 10건이 재처리한 MGIT에서만 배양되었다. 비록 소수이지만 재처리 과정으로 검출할 수 없었던 마이코박테리아를 검출하였다. 이는 마이코박테리아 검출을 위하여 MGIT와 Ogawa media을 동시에 시행할 뿐 아니라 MGIT에서 위양성을 보이는 경우, 검체의 재처리 과정을 추가하는 것이 필요하다 생각된다.

Background: Mycobacterial infection is a problem throughout the world along with the increase of immunocompromised patients. For this reason, there have been many methods for faster and more accurate diagnosis. In this study, we evaluated several laboratory methods for mycobacterial infection. Methods: From January to December 2009, 635 specimens were cultured with mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) and Ogawa media. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed with the AdvanSure tuberculosis (TB)/non-tuberculosis mycobacterium (NTM) real-time PCR Kit (LG Life Sciences, Seoul, Korea). The 69 samples showing positive culture results were identified with the AdvanSure Mycobacteria Genotyping Chip Kit (LG Life Science, Seoul, Korea). Results: Sixty-nine (10.9%) out of 635 samples showed positive results for mycobacterial culture. Among the 635 samples, 64 were positive in MGIT, but only 42 were positive in Ogawa media. Of the 635 samples, 607 (95.6%) showed the same results between MGIT and Ogawa and the results of 579 (95.4%) were also consistent with the TB/NTM real-time PCR results. However, in the case of NTM, only one (1/24, 4.2%) was positive in PCR. In the Mycobacteria genotyping chip analysis, the most frequently identified NTM species in descending order were M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. chelonae and M. abscessus. Conclusion: Culturing with a combination of MGIT and Ogawa is recommended to increase the recovery rate of mycobacteria. Although PCR missed a reasonable number of NTM, it is faster and usually gives results that concur with those from the culture. The appropriate combination of diagnostic methods with clinical correlation are necessary.

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of the BACTEC MGIT (Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube) 960 system for mycobacteria culture and immunochromatographic assay to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in positive MGIT culture. Methods: Mycobacteria-culture-positive cases were retrospectively analyzed from December 2010 to July 2011. The detection rates and the recovery times of the mycobacteria between the Ogawa media and the MGIT were compared. An immunochromatographic assay (ICA) (SD BIO-LINE) was also performed in the positive MGIT culture for identification, and the results were compared with those of the Ogawa media in the Korea National Tuberculosis Association. Results: Among the 261 patients (M:F, 168:93; mean age, $61.6{\pm}17.16$ yrs), 450 specimens (sputa, 365; bronchial washing, 61; and pleural effusion, 24) were found positive with mycobacteria. Mycobacteria were grown both on the MGIT and Ogawa media in 310 cases (68.9%); only on the MGIT in 115 cases (22.6%); and only on the Ogawa media in 25 cases (5.5%) (p<0.05). The recovery time was $28.2{\pm}8.9$ days in the Ogawa media and $11.1{\pm}5.8$ days in the MGIT (p<0.05). Among the 127 cases from the positive MGIT culture, all 92 cases that were confirmed as MTB cases bythe Korea National Tuberculosis Association were identified as MTB by ICA, with 100% sensitivity. Conclusion: MGIT increases the detection rate and shortens the recovery time of mycobacteria in clinical respiratory specimens, and the TB Ag MPT64 kit using ICA is useful in identifying MTB in a positive MGIT culture.

Recently, a lot of research that applies data acquired from devices such as cameras and RFIDs to context aware services is being performed in the field on Life-Log and the sensor network. A variety of analytical techniques has been proposed to recognize various information from the raw data because video and audio data include a larger volume of information than other sensor data. However, manually watching a huge amount of media data again has been necessary to create supervised data for the update of a class or the addition of a new class because these techniques generally use supervised learning. Therefore, the problem was that applications were able to use only recognition function based on fixed supervised data in most cases. Then, we proposed a method of acquiring supervised data from a video sharing site where users give comments on any video scene because those sites are remarkably popular and, therefore, many comments are generated. In the first step of this method, words with a high utility value are extracted by filtering the comment about the video. Second, the set of feature data in the time series is calculated by applying functions, which extract various feature data, to media data. Finally, our learning system calculates the correlation coefficient by using the above-mentioned two kinds of data, and the correlation coefficient is stored in the DB of the system. Various other applications contain a recognition function that is used to generate collective intelligence based on Web comments, by applying this correlation coefficient to new media data. In addition, flexible recognition that adjusts to a new object becomes possible by regularly acquiring and learning both media data and comments from a video sharing site while reducing work by manual operation. As a result, recognition of not only the name of the seen object but also indirect information, e.g. the impression or the action toward the object, was enabled.

배경 : 결핵의 진단에 있어 결핵균 배양검사는 결핵의 확진 검사이지만 배양에 최소한 6-8주가 소요되어 진단 및 치료가 지연되는 단점이 있다. PCR 법은 신속하고 예민하게 결핵균을 검출할 수 있지만 위양성율과 위음성율이 높아 문제시 되고 있다. 최근에 개발된 LCR법과 PCR-Hybridization은 PCR 법 보다도 민감하게 결핵균을 검출할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 저자들은 하상균 배양을 기준으로 in house PCR, LCR 및 PCR- Hybridization 각각의 임상적 유용성을 알아보고자 한다. 방법 : 1998년 8월에 결핵진단을 위해 세브란스 병원 임상 병리과에 의뢰된 75검체를 대상으로 AFB 도말 염색 검사, 결핵균 배양 검사(3% Ogawa 배지, 8주간), in house PCR, LCR(Abbott LCx kit) 및 PCR Hybridization을 시행하여 각각의 민간도와 특이도를 평가해보았다. 결과 : 항산균 배양법을 기준으로 판단할 때 in house PCR, LCR(Abbott LCx kit) 및 PCR-Hybridization의 민감도는 각각 40%, 80%, 100%였고 특이도는 98.6%, 94.3%, 94.3%였다. 결론 : LCR법과 PCR-Hybridization은 결핵균 검출에 있어 우수한 민감도와 특이도를 보여 결핵의 조기진단에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

Objective : In order to know the antibacterial effects of Kyungok-go against Mycobacteria tuberculosis, Methods : In this study, I inverstigated these effects in terms of combination of other antibiotics with and without Kyungok-go on several different media conditions. Results: On Ogawa medium, Kyungok-go of the $10{\mu}/ml$ concentration showed the anti-Mycobacteria tuberculosis activity against antibiotic drug-sensitive strain. On Middle-blue medium, Kyungok-go of the $10{\mu}/ml$ concentration showed the anti-Mycobacteria tuberculosis activity against antibiotic drug-sensitive strain. Kyungok-go showed the anti mycobacteria tuberculosis activity with the meaningful result above a certain concentration. The resistance against M, tuberculosis as the concentration of Kyungok-go was decreased significantlly on the high concentration($500{\mu}/ml$) When rifampicin and Kyungok-go were used together, the resistance was decreased with the statistical significance as to the persistant antibacterial effect against M. tuberculosis, When ciprofloxacin and Kyungok-go were used together, the resistance was decreased with the statistical significance as to the persistant antibacterial effect against M. tuberculosis, The combination of treatment, Kyungok-go with both rifampicin and ciprofloxacin, showed much better antibacterial effect against M, tuberculosis than antibiotics alone. Conclusions : This study shows that Kyungok-go has antibacterial effect against M. tuberculosis and in the combination of treatment, Kyungok-go with antibiotics, showed much better antibacterial effect against M. tuberculosis than antibiotics alone,.
