진균독소의 한 종류인 ochratoxin A (OTA)는 저장 곡물에 흔한 오염물질로 주로 Aspergillus에 의해 생성되어 인간과 가축의 건강을 위협한다. 이 연구의 목적은 분리 세균Bacillus subtilis AF13과 Streptomyces shenzhenensis YR226의 OTA 제거능을 조사하는 것이다. NB 배지에서 AF13과 YR226은 $100{\mu}g/L$ OTA를 24시간 동안 각각 94.23과 97.73% 제거하였다. 두 균주 배양액의 원심분리 후 분리된 세척 세포와 무세포 상등액의 OTA 제거능을 측정하였는데 두 균주의 상등액 모두 $100{\mu}g/L$ OTA를 수 초 내에 90% 이상 제거하였으며, YR226의 세척 세포도 OTA를 24시간에 98.88% 제거하였다. 배양 상등액의 고압멸균, proteinase K와 chymotrypsin 처리 시 그 OTA 제거능은 영향을 받지 않았으며 이는 두 균주들에 의해 분비된 열-안정성을 가진 비-단백질성 물질이 OTA 제거에 관련된 것을 추정할 수 있다. 이 결과는 AF13과 YR226 균주가 OTA로 오염된 곡물과 사료에서 OTA를 제거하는데 사용될 수 있으며 따라서 농업과 사료 산업에서 경제적 피해를 감소시킬 수 있을 것이다.

Background: A midshaft clavicle fracture is a common fracture that typically responds well to open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). However, refracture can occur after implant removal (IR). This study aimed to analyze the rate of refracture and related factors after removal of the locking compression plate (LCP) for displaced midshaft clavicle fractures. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 201 patients who had undergone ORIF with LCP for midshaft clavicle fractures after IR after bony union from January 2011 to May 2018 at our institute. We evaluated basic demographic characteristics and radiographic parameters. All patients were treated with an LCP for primary fracture. The patients were divided into two groups: a refracture group that experienced a second fracture within 1 year after IR and a no-fracture group. Results: There were four cases (1.99%) of refracture; three were treated conservatively, while one was treated surgically. All patients achieved bony union. The average interval between refracture and IR was 64 days (range, 6-210 days). There was a significant difference in classification of fractures (AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association [AO/OTA] classification) between the two groups. However, other patient demographics and radiographic measurements between refracture and IR, such as bone diameter, showed no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions: This study showed that one in 50 patients suffered from refracture after removal of the LCP. Thus, if patients desire IR, the surgeon should explain that there is a relatively higher possibility of refracture for cases with simple or segmental fractures than for other types of fracture.
