  • Si3N4 powder has been analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The sample was dissolved by high-pressure acid digestion with HF, H2SO4 (1+1), and HNO3 mix ture. This technique is well suited for the impurity analysis of Si3N4 because the matrix interference is eliminated. A round-robin samples trace elements, such as Ca, W, Co, Al, Fe, Mg, and Na, were determined. For the direct analysis, slurry nebulization of 0.96 mm Si3N4 powder also has been studied by ICP-AES. Emission intensities of Fe were measured as ICP operational conditions were changed. Significant signal difference between slurry particles and aqueous solution was observed in the present experiment. Analytical results of slurry injection and high-pressure acid digestion were compared. For the use of aqueous standard solution for calibration, k-factor was determined to be 1.71 for further application.

  • Various antimicrobial technologies have been developed to inactivate bioaerosols in indoor environments. In this study, air filter media were treated with a natural antibacterial agent of Sophora flavescens in order to inactivate the bacteria collected on the air filter. Three treatment methods were applied to manufacture the test antibacterial air filter media: electrospray, nebulization and dip-coating methods. In case of electrospray and nebulization processes, the size distribution of aerosolized natural antibacterial agent was measured using a scanning mobility particle sizer. Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria were aerosolized to test inactivation of the filter media treated with a natural antibacterial agent. The pressure drop and the antibacterial efficiency of the filter media increased with increasing the mass loading of natural antibacterial agent in each treatment method. The antibacterial efficiency per loaded antibacterial agent mass by the electrospray method was the highest and the filter treated by the dip-coating method was the lowest among three treatment methods.

  • A 11-year-old gelding Thoroughbred horse was presented with a history of unilateral nasal discharge of right side. The horse was diagnosed as maxillary sinusitis based on blood examination and radiography. The horse was treated with bone flap of right maxillary sinuses. Abscess of maxillary sinus was drained and irrigated with antibiotic-saline and povidone iodine solution. After surgical procedure, nebulization and medication applied by the result of antibiotic sensitivity test. After treatment for two weeks, the patient was recovered completely.

  • Background: Mycobacterial identification in active pulmonary tuberculosis (APTB) is confirmative, even though successful rates using self-expectorated sputum are limited. Sputum specimens collected by hypertonic saline nebulization showed higher bacteriologic diagnostic sensitivities over those of self-expectoration, mostly studied in smear-negative or sputum-scarce patients. The efficacy of induced sputum was rarely assessed in real clinical settings. Methods: A prospective randomized case-control study was performed in one hospital. The subjects highly suspicious of APTB were asked to provide 3 pairs of sputum specimens in 3 consecutive days. The first pairs of the specimens were obtained either by self-expectoration (ES) from the next day of the visit or sputum induction with 7% saline nebulization in clinic (SI), and the other specimens were collected in the same way. The samples were tested in microscopy, culture, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The outcomes of the bacteriological diagnosis were compared. Results: Seventy six patients were assigned to either ES (38 subjects, median age of 51, 65.8% male) or SI (38 subjects, median age of 55, 52.6% male). APTB was clinically confirmed in 51 patients (70.8%), 27 in ES and 24 in SI. Among the APTB, more adequate specimens were collected from SI (41/65, 63.1%) than ES (34/80, 42.5%) (p=0.01). Bacteriological confirmation was achieved in 14 (58.3%) patients in SI, and 13 (48.1%) in ES (p=0.46). In the same-day bacteriological diagnosis with microscopy and PCR, there were positive results for 9 patients (37.5%) in SI and 7 patients (25.9%) in ES (p=0.37). Conclusion: Sputum induction improves sputum specimen adequacy. It may be useful for the same-day bacteriological diagnosis with microscopic examination and PCR.

  • Purpose: To examine effects of application of bronchodilators after endotracheal suction on peak air way pressure (PAP), lung compliance (Cdyn), oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), and respiration rate (RR) in cardiac surgery patients. Method: Data were collected from October 2007 to March 2008. Participants were patients who were treated with bronchodilators through mechanical ventilators in the SICU. At each suctioning, bronchodilators were applied immediately, and at 5, 10, and 15 minutes after suctioning. Besides PAP, Cdyn, $SpO_2$, HR, BP, RR, data on the frequency of side effects were also collected at 15, 30, 60 minutes after nebulization. Data were analyzed using the SAS program. Results: For application of bronchodilator right after suctioning and after, 5, 10 and 15 minutes, PAP and Cdyn did not show any significant differences although PAP was persistently decreased for 15 to 30 minutes and Cdyn increased at 15 minutes and decreased gradually after nebulization. Besides $SpO_2$, HR, BP, and RR, frequency of side effects did not show any significant difference. Conclusion: Bronchodilators can be applied at any time. However, the positive effects of bronchodilation right after suctioning on PAP and Cdyn, as also shown in previous reports, indicate it is a more efficient clinical process to maintain an adequate airway.
