목 적 : 신생아 중환자에 대한 치료법이 급속도로 발전함에도 불구하고 신생아 감염은 여전히 큰 문제이다. 특히 정맥천자나 여러 침습적 처치가 많은 신생아 중환자에서 이를 통해 피부 상주균에 의한 패혈증이 증가하고 있다. 이는 시술상의 문제로 야기될 수 있지만 처치 전 소독제의 소독력에 문제가 있을 수 있다. 특히 병원에서 희석하여 사용하고 있는 알코올 솜은 공기중에 자주 노출되어 알코올 성분이 증발되기 쉬워 소독력에 문제가 있을 수 있다. 이에 포비돈 소독제가 알코올 소독제보다 소독력이 좋은 것이라는 가정하에 이 연구를 시행 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 신생아 중환자실에 입원한 미숙아 및 신생아중 정맥 수액요법이 필요하였던 신생아들을 대상으로 정맥 천자가 주로 시행되는 부위의 피부에서 멸균된 면봉으로 멸균 생리 식염수를 묻혀 피부를 문질러 배양 검사를 시행하였고 피부가 마른 후 무작위로 알코올군은 병원에서 희석하여 만든 70% 알코올 솜으로 닦고 마른 후 같은 방법으로 피부를 닦아 배양검사를 하였고(20례), 포비돈군은 10% 포비돈(1% iodine) 솜으로 닦고 마른 후 70% 알코올 솜으로 다시 닦아 마른 후 피부 배양검사를 하였다(20례). 대조군은 생리 식염수 솜으로 닦은 후 배양검사를 하였다(10례). 결 과 : 소독 전 알코올 군과 포비돈군 각각 20례중 9례에서 균이 자랐고, 대조군은 10례중 8례에서 균이 검출되었다. 소독후 알코올 군은 3례, 포비돈군 2례, 대조군은 8례에서 균이 계속 자라 세군간에 유의한 차이가 있었다(p=0.0387). 포비돈군의 소독효과는 알코올군과 비슷하였고, 대조군보다는 높았지만(p=0.0156), 알코올군은 대조군과 비교하여 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 포비돈 솜의 소독효과는 알코올 솜과 비슷하였지만, 생리식염수 솜보다는 높았다. 그러나 알코올 솜의 소독효과는 생리식염수 솜과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 병원에서 사용되는 알코올의 순도, 알코올 솜의 정도관리, 소독방법 등에 대한 재평가가 필요함을 시사한다.

In manufacturing of flatfish skin collagen peptide (FSCP) and flatfish protein hydrolysate (FPH) by reuse of dead flatfish from fish farm in Jeju island, the industrial process was optimized with the laboratory scale research and the on-field process. Segmented unit processes from raw material incoming to shipment were established to produce commercial product of FSCP and FPH. Total plate counts of FSCP were twenty five times of FPH, but food poisoning bacteria were not detected in two samples. FSCP and FPH were safe from heavy metal such as Pb(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II). The residual contents of antibiotics and disinfection matter in FSCP and FPH were not detected. The optimized process for mass production made the one-third of the running time and two times of the yield. From economic analysis, the production cost was estimated to 22,000 and 12,000 won/kg for FSCP and FPH, respectively. Therefore the product from the reuse of dead flatfish was expected to have a considerable competitive price and high added-value functional food material compared with other commercially available fish products.

Background: Despite the rise in the number of domestic indoor climbing gyms, there is a lack of specific hygiene standards and research on the holds installed in them. Holds can act as vectors for microbial transmission through the hands, posing a risk of infectious diseases, especially with damaged skin. Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the contamination level and species of microorganisms on holds according to the management methods practiced in indoor climbing gyms and identify effective strategies for reducing microbial contamination. Methods: We investigated factors that may influence microbial contamination of holds, including hold management methods, user information, and hygiene management at three climbing gyms in Seoul. A total of 72 holds were sampled, 18 for each management method of brushing, high-pressure washing, and ethanol disinfection. Samples were cultured on LB and blood agar at 37℃ for 48 hours to calculate CFUs. PCR assay targeting 16S rRNA was carried out to identify microorganisms. Dunn-Bonferroni was employed to see the microbial reduction effect of the management method and the difference in microbial contamination by management method and climbing gym. Results: As a result of microbial identification, microorganisms such as Bacillus, Staphylococcus, and Micrococcus, which were derived from various environments such as skin and soil, were discovered on the surface of the climbing hold. Among the discovered microorganisms, some species had potential pathogenic properties that could cause food poisoning, gastrointestinal disease, bacteremia, and sepsis. All hold management methods were effective in reducing microorganisms (p<0.05), with ethanol disinfection being the most effective (p<0.001). Conclusions: Our results indicate that there are potential pathogens on holds that demand thorough management for microbial prevention. Proposed methods include regular brushing and ethanol disinfection in addition to high-pressure washing with long cycles, which are the existing forms of hold management. Further studies on shoe management are advised to curb soil-derived microorganisms.

Hand washing is an important component of hygiene program for food handlers. Hands can be a source of direct or indirect contamination of foods with pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, the effectiveness of hand washing methods and the use of 70% alcohol solution against transient skin bacteria was tested in an university foodservice facility. 70% alcohol solution is sprayed for 5 seconds automatically when hands are placed in the dispenser. Samples were taken using swab technique in meat cutting area, vegetable trimming area, and vegetable cutting area: before and after washing hands according to planned methods, and after being sprayed with 70% alcohol solution after washing hands. The bacteriological analysis of total plate counts, coliform, fecal coliform of food handlers' hands was done. Statistical data analysis was completed with Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis model using the SPSS program. The levels of initial contamination of workers' hand were significantly different by the work areas($x^2$=9.156, p<0.01). Workers in the vegetable trimming area had more heavily soiled hands than in the other work areas. Mean of TPC counts and coliform was 8.97×$10^5$ CFU/12.4$cm^2$, 2.93×$10^2$ MPN/12.4$cm^2$ respectively, but fecal coliform was not detected. Transient bacteria were removed from hands after washing and using 70% alcohol solution but were not removed completely. Mean reduction percentage in TPC varied among work areas and ranged from 93.19% to 94.99%, and in coliforms from 97.31% to 100%. A significant difference in TPC was found between before and after hand disinfection (Z=-2.714, p<.01) and between standardized hand washing procedures and un-standardized hand washing procedures(z=-2.301, p<.01). Subjects using the hand sanitizer showed a great elimination of TPC(99.45% reduction), but this effect was valid only after following proper washing procedures. Based on the results, the most effective hand washing method was recommended as the combination of the standardized hand washing procedure with warm-water and use of the 70% alcohol solution. The results can be used to develop hand hygiene programs and training strategies for enhancing hand hygiene practices for food handlers in foodservice operations.
