  • We are used with the alkaline ion water which an application field does to object for drinking water compare with the alkaline ion water which asked ion acid electrolysis so as to be very different. This is used with sterilization disinfection use by residual chlorine in case of strong acidity according to ph intensity, and in case of middle acidity use by washing and face washing, and mix with meal materials in case of weak acidity widely usable in cooking. Acid ion water generates as we electrolyze water. Chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide etc. was generated at electrolysis process, and we have toward sterilizing power. Derelicts such as chlorine, phosphorus, sulfur etc. are gathered from a negative ion, and we make acid ion water to + electrode direction in electrolysis. We used a diaphragm in order to disconnect too acid water and alkaline water. We implemented so that the acid water which it came down to three kinds of PWM voltage to PWM (pulse width modulation) control, and implementation method of ph intensity change authorized ph intensity between weak acidity to electrode in strong acidity as we used Microprocessor, and intensity was adjusted successively by PWM control was generated.

  • Here we studied the changes on quality characteristics of Dongchimi by supercritical carbon dioxide to manufacture Dongchimi of high quality. There were no distinctive changes of acidity, pH, color difference, free sugar and organic acid of the Dongchimi treated with supercritical $CO_2$, compared to the control. The content of vitamin C in Dongchimi, which was treated with supercritical $CO_2$ (at 25 MPa, $35^{\circ}C$) was 0.826 mg/mL, and was similar to that of 0.1 MPa. Unpleasant volatile compounds such as dimethyl disulfide, metyl trisulfide and methyl propyl disulfide in Dongchimi were decreased by supercritical $CO_2$; also, treatment of supercritical $CO_2$ was useful to improve flavor of Dongchimi. Polygalacturonase activity was decreased 40.3% after supercritical carbon dioxide treatment at 25 MPa and $55^{\circ}C$.

  • As early as 1889, treatment of ostemyelitis was reported using xenogeneic demineralized bone. In 1965, Urist discovered that demineralized long bone fragment, even when implanted in nonskeletal tissue, would stimulate osteogenesis. The clinical use of demineralized bone of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery is not new. The demineralized bone implants were used for 1) interposition within osteotomy gaps, cystic detects, alveolar clefts ; 2) augmentation, over intact bone surfaces ; 3) construction of new bone within soft tissue. Demineralized bone grafts invokes a induced osteogenesis which is the transformation of host cells into osteoblasts. Demineralized bone has identified several factors that modulate the osteogeneic response : sterilization method, recipient age, particle size etc. Especially, pulverization of bone matrix may enhance its osteoinductive properties, to allow rapid, efficient bridging of large defects. the purpose of the present report was to describe the potential efficacy of demineralized allogeneic bone powder of skull of rabbits as a particle size ; 212 ${\mu}m$, 710 ${\mu}m$, 1 mm each other. Microscopic finding in our experimental studies shown that 710 ${\mu}m$ demineralized bone powder is the most potent osteogenic response, and then 212 ${\mu}m$, 1 mm size. Densitometric analysis shown that density of all group was continue to increase until 4 weeks after operation, and then continue to decrease.

  • It is improtant that performing prophylaxis procedure on an infected implant surface in order to treat peri-implantitis should not change the surface roughness and composition, so that the surface can be recovered to almost same condition as initial implant surface. This thesis, therefore, studied an effect of various oral hygiene instrument on implant surface. A surface roughness measurement instrument and an infection electron microscope were used to observe a change on surface. The purpose of this study was to obtain a clinical guidelines during implant care and peri-implantitis treatment. The result were as follows 1. Ra values (surface roughness value) at experimental group 1, group 2, and group 5 were increased significantly as compared with comparison group(p<0.05). 2. When compared experimental group 1 with each experimental groups at which prohylaxis procedure was performed, mean values of Ra at experimental group 2, group 3, group 6, and group 7 were decreased significantly(p<0.05). 3. Mean value of Ra was lowest at experimental group 2, and highest at experimental group 2, and highest at experimental group 5. 4. Analysis of SEM showed that was significant surface change at experimental group 2, group 3, group 4, group 5, and group 6 as compared with comparison group(X1000). 5. Analysis fo EDX showed that a quantity of Ti on surface for experimental group 6 was very similar to that for comparison group. In conclusion, air-powder abrasive and citric acid, plastic instrument are safe methods to use for performing prophylaxis procedure on implant care or for cleaning and sterilization process on treatment of peri-implantitis, based on the result that those method did not affect implant surface roughness and Ti composition.

  • Objectives : This study aims to design a method for drying forceps jars. As part of the process, holes were made in the forceps jars. Drying time, rate of wet pack, and cost of rewashing linen were then determined. Moreover, the study looked into the bacteria incidence rate in the forceps jars. This study suggests a practical way for preventing infection in a hospital through a surgical device. Methods : This study investigated the effect of forceps jars with holes on reducing drying time, rate of wet pack, and cost of rewashing linen. It also looked into the bacteria incidence rate in the forceps jars through a parallel design. Data was collected and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results : The drying time of a forceps jars was remarkably reduced from $18.44{\pm}0.2$ minutes(non-hole forceps jars) to $0.58{\pm}0.02$ minutes(4-hole forceps jars). The rate of wet pack of non-hole forceps jars was 51.4%. However, the rate of 4-hole forceps jars reached 4.6%. The cost of rewashing linen saw a decline from 38,073 won to 3,381 won. In addition, no bacteria and virus were detected from the 24-hours usage of forceps jars even though the jars had holes. Conclusions : The 4-hole forceps jars greatly increased work efficiency as a result of the reduced drying time, rate of wet-pack and cost of rewashing linen. The 4-hole forceps jars did not influence their sterilizing effect.

  • This study was conducted to propose measures of water quality management as the water criteria for waterscape facilities which have been highlighted as alternatives to wading pools in summer season was legislated. The number of public waterscape facilities has reached 290 sites in Gyeounggi province and 971 sites in South Korea in 2017. The water tank capacity of 80.3 % public waterscape facilities was less than $100m^3$. Facilities with disinfection system were only 6.5 % and facilities with filtration function were also very low at 6.9 %. Most of the waterscape facilities, about 93%, are expected to be vulnerable to complying with revised water quality criteria because they have to be disinfected by handling. Chlorine disinfectants, which are more persistent than ozone or ultraviolet sterilization methods, are more preferred. However, care should be taken when adding disinfectans because hypochlorous acid, which is an effective component of chlorine disinfectant, remains after the disinfection, but it is easily decomposed with time. For this study, ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ park floor fountain with a capacity of $63m^3$ was selected and the amount of free residual chlorine concentration was measured by injecting a certain amount of chlorine bleach. As a result, it took 5 hours to decrease from the water quality standard of 4 mg/L to 0.04 mg/L. If the waterscape facility is operated for 7 to 8 hours, the chlorine bleach should be re-injected after 5 hours. In addition, the problem of pH increase due to the input of chlorine disinfectant is expected, and the neutralization method using vinegar was proposed.

  • Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) is one of the most important bacterial diseases of citrus. Because citrus canker is not found in many countries including European Union and Australia, Xcc is strictly regulated in order to prevent its spread. In this study, the effects of X-irradiation on Xcc growth either in the suspension or on the surface of citrus fruits were investigated. The suspension containing $1{\times}10^7cfu/ml$ of Xcc was irradiated with different absorbed doses of X-irradiation ranging from 50 to 400 Gy. The results showed that Xcc was fully dead at 400 Gy of X-irradiation. To determine the effect of X-irradiation on quarantine, the Xcc-inoculated citrus fruits were irradiated with different X-ray doses at which Xcc was completely inhibited by an irradiation dose of 250 Gy. The $D_{10}$ value for Xcc on citrus fruits was found to be 97 Gy, indicating the possibility of direct application on citrus quarantine without any side sterilizer. Beside, presence of Xcc on the surface of asymptomatic citrus fruits obtained from citrus canker-infected orchards was noted. It indicated that the exporting citrus fruits need any treatment so that Xcc on the citrus fruits should be completely eliminated. Based on these results, ionizing radiation can be considered as an alternative method of eradicating Xcc for export of citrus fruits.
