콕시듐증이라고 진단되어 우수한 콕시료 치료제를 투여하였으나 어찌된 일인지 완치가 되지 않고 때로는 그 증상이 더욱 악화되어 의외의 폐사를 내는 사례가 여러분의 양계장에는 없었읍니까? 성의껏 육추를 했으나 성장이 고르지 못하고 성성숙이 일제히 되지 않아 산란피크가 70$\~$75$\%$에서 끝나는 경험을 한적은 없읍니까? 별다른 원인없이 위와 같은 결과를 경험하였다면 우선 곰팡이의 일종인 캔디다$\cdot$알비칸스의 감염을 의심해 보아야 합니다.

The purpose of this study was to antibacterial effect of solanum nigrum extra in candida albicans. In this study, the antibacterial effects of 70% methanol extract and solanum nigraum were investigated. The content of flavonoids and polyphenol contents in solanum nigrum extraction. The antimicrobial activity was determined by spectrophotometric growth inhibition assay(optical density) and colony forming untis (CFU) for the candida albicans. Total contents were flavonoids and polyphenols of solanum nigrum, the result was $8.23{\pm}0.13mg/g$ and $14.97{\pm}1.58mg/g$, respectively. The CFU results showed lower CFU counts in the experimental groups compared to the control group. And the result of the bacterial viability was decreased in the experimental group. Therefore the extracts of solanum nigrum were found to have antimicrobial activity in candida albicans. From the these results, solanum nigrum extracts have a possibility to be a candidate for natural antibacterial components in dental products.

Objectives : The aim of the study is to investigate the antimicrobial activity of jaborandi and sorbitol to various oral microbes. Methods : Jaborandi leaves contain pilocarpine. The conditions for extraction were optimized on the basis of substances, temperatures and pHs. Total pilocarpine content after extraction was analyzed by HPLC. The herbal antimicrobial activity of jaborandi and sorbitol were evaluated for oral microbes containing ATCC 25175 S. mutans, ATCC 13419 S. salivarius, ATCC 6249 S. mitis, ATCC 33398 S. equi, ATCC 29213 S. aureus, ATCC 14053 C. albicans. Results : The optimum conditions for highest yielding extraction were pilocarpine content after boiling at $100^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour at pH 3. The level of total pilocarpine content was analyzed at 833 mg/kg by HPLC. The most effective antimicrobial activity was obtained by combination of pilocarpine and sorbitol rather than pilocarpine, menthol and sorbitol, respectively. Conclusions : This results supported the preventive oral health care using safe and convenient jaborandi herb.

Using imprint cultures and epithelial smears, the density and prevalence of colonization of oral mucosal sites and denture surfaces by Candida albicans has been determined in 28 healthy dentate subjects and 20 denture wearers. With questionnaire, oral and denture examination, the relationship between the carrier rates and several factors; DMFT, oral hygiene index, salivary pH & denture plaque score were studied. But these factors have not significant relationship to the carrier rates. Imprint culture appears to be sensitive technique for detecting candidal carriers and be useful for distinguishing between the healthy carrier state and candidal infection. Cigarette smokers had a significantly increased carrier state (P<0.05) compared with nonsmoker in male dentate subjects. Female were more frequent carriers than male in dentate and denture group, but these differences were not significant. In denture wearers, there was a higher density and frequency of candidal colonization of all mucosal sites sampled, compared with that of healthy dentate group especially anterior palate and posterior palate showed highly significant differences in frequency of candidal colonization (P<0.05). The distribution of Candida albicans is not uniform throughout the mouth. The tongue in the healthy dentate subjects and the impression surfaces of upper dentures are the primary oral reservoirs for the fungus. Overnight wearing of dentures was associated with increased density and frequency of candidal colonization and density.

Hyungbangjihwang-Tang (HT), an Oriental herbal formula, has been known to play a role which helps to recover vigor of human in the Orient. In this study, antifungal substance (HTI) was purified from the ethyl-acetate extracts of HT by using $SiO_2$ column chromatography and HPLC, and the antifungal effects of HTI and its mode of action were investigated. By using a broth micro-dilution assay, the activity of HTI was evaluated against fungi. HTI showed antifungal activities without hemolytic effect against human erythrocytes. To confirm antifungal activity of HTI, we examined the accumulation of intracellular trehalose as stress response on toxic agents and effect on dimorphic transition in Candida albicans. The results demonstrated that HTI induced the accumulation of intracellular trehalose and exerted its antifungal effect by disrupting the mycelial forms. To understand its antifungal mode of action, cell cycle analysis was performed with C. albicans, and the results showed HTI arrested the cell cycle at the S phase in yeast. The present study indicates that HTI has considerable antifungal activity, deserving further investigation for clinical applications.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antifungal inhibition mechanism of fruit vinegar drinks against Candida albicans. To evaluate the effect of vinegar drinks on the growth and morphological changes of C. albicans, we performed real-time PCR and phase contrast microscopy. All the groups added vinegar drink showed the inhibitory effect of C. albicans on growth compared to the control. The expression of genes ALS3, ECE1, HWP1, and Sap5 were decreased by vinegar drink. As a result of phase contrast microscopy, the group to which vinegar drink was added showed significant quantitative decrease, morphological change and inhibition of C. albicans. This study can be provided as basic data for the development of antibiotics by verifying the antifungal activity of vinegar drinks.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to confirm the influence of commercially available carbonated water on denture resin by confirming the changes in the denture surface and adhesion of bacteria. Methods: Carbonated water available in the domestic market was used on specimens made of prosthetic resins. The top four products with respect to sales performance was deposited for 30 min, 24 h, and 48 h over the study groups and over one control group. The surface roughness was measured. Candida albicans was inoculated and cultured over these dentures at 37℃ on the study groups of 1 h, 24 h, and 48 h, and the number of colonies formed was measured. Results: As a result of comparing the surface roughness between groups by immersion time, the difference between groups was confirmed at 48 hours. The Trevi group showed a larger Rz than the Samdasoo group. As a result of comparing the surface roughness by time in each group, statistical significance was shown in the Ra value of the Seagram and the Rz value of the Chojung sparkling water (p<0.05). The Ra value of the Seagram was higher for 48 h than for 30 min, and the Rz value of the Chojung sparkling water was higher at 48 h than at 30 min (p<0.05). Candida albicans concentration increased over the course of immersion. Conclusions: It was confirmed that longer the specimen of the denture resin was immersed in carbonated water, more the surface roughness was affected and higher the number of attached bacteria.

Propolis is an extremely safe natural antimicrobial substance that has been reported to have powerful antibacterial efficacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory effects of propolis against Candida albicans (C. albicans). Propolis was collected from the honey bee Apis mellifera. The strain of C. albicans was cultivated overnight in liquid media incubated at $37^{\circ}C$. The antimicrobial activity was investigated using phosphate buffered saline (PBS), 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 0.1% chorhexidine (CHX), and propolis extracts ($5{\mu}l/ml$, $10{\mu}l/ml$). C. albicans were sensitive to 3% NaOCl, 0.1% CHX, and propolis ($5{\mu}l/ml$, $10{\mu}l/ml$) with zones of inhibition of 15, 14.5, 16, and 17 mm, respectively. The CFU of PBS, 3% NaOCl, 0.1% CHX, $5{\mu}l/ml$ and $10{\mu}l/ml$ of propolis led a 1, 7, 7, 5 and 7-log reduction. Among the groups tested, C. albicans was most sensitive to $10{\mu}l/ml$ of propolis, which showed the largest inhibition zones. Therefore, propolis can be a new antimicrobial therapy for oral mucosa disease in traditional medicine.
