  • 식품 매개 병원균에 의한 문제는 식품산업뿐 아니라 세계 공공 보건에서도 문제가 된다. 최근 몇 년 간, 발효기술은 식품 내 병원성 미생물의 불활성화 및 이를 조절하기 위한 값 싸고 안전한 방법이라는 것이 밝혀졌다. 유산균 발효는 병원성 세균 및 바이러스에 대해 유의적인 항균효과를 갖는 과학적 증거를 보였다. 유기산, 박테리오신 및 과산화수소와 같은 유산균 대사체는 식품 매개 병원균에 대해 악영향을 미치고 이는 이들의 저해작용으로 이어진다. 이 화합물들은 물리적 결함만을 야기하는 것이 아니라 병원균의 유전자 발현에 대해서도 유의적인 저해 효과를 나타낸다. 게다가, 식품 내 유산균의 존재는 병원균에 대해 영양적인 경쟁을 제공하며 모든 요인이 그 성장을 억제한다. 본 연구는 유산균의 항균력, 분자생물학적 메커니즘 및 식품 매개 병원균의 불활성화를 위한 응용에 대하여 우리의 현 지식을 검토한다.

  • This study analyzed the food safety in processing process of simple-processed fishery products. A total of 88 samples analyzed for the presence of pathogenic bacteria and physicochemical hazards. No major foodborne pathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella sp., Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157:H7, were detected in any of the samples. However, Bacillus cereus (12 samples, 13.6%) and Staphylococcus aureus (15 samples, 17.0%) were frequently detected in both the intermediate processing stages and the final products, although cell populations were not high. Very small amounts of heavy metals and histamine were detected in some samples, in quantities that did not exceed the safe guidelines according to Korean Government regulations. Similarly, no other physical hazards such as foreign material were observed in any of the samples. We concluded that there are no significant pathogenic bacteria or physicochemical food hazards in simply processed fish products from Korea. The present study strongly suggests that increased food sanitation measures should be implemented to decrease the prevalence of S. aureus in simple-processed fishery products.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the biological effects of cyanoacrylate-combined calcium phosphate (CCP), in particular its potential to act as a physical barrier - functioning like a membrane - in rabbit calvarial defects. Methods: In each animal, four circular calvarial defects with a diameter of 8 mm were prepared and then filled with either nothing (control group) or one of three different experimental materials. In the experimental conditions, they were filled with CCP alone (CCP group), filled with biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) and then covered with an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS; BCP/ACS group), or filled with BCP and then covered by CCP (BCP/CCP group). Results: After 4 and 8 weeks of healing, new bone formation appeared to be lower in the CCP group than in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant. In both the CCP and BCP/CCP groups, inflammatory cells could be seen after 4 and 8 weeks of healing. Conclusions: Within the limits of this study, CCP exhibited limited osteoconductivity in rabbit calvarial defects and was histologically associated with the presence of inflammatory cells. However, CCP demonstrated its ability to stabilize graft particles and its potential as an effective defect filler in bone augmentation, if the biocompatibility and osteoconductivity of CCP were improved.

  • A 3-year-old boy with a Wilms' tumor had unusually severe hypertension, polydipsia, polyuria and hypokalemia. Physical examination on admission was unremarkable except for the presence of a smooth, firm mass in the right abdomen. Computerized tomography showed a tumor occupying the upper two thirds of the right kidney. Plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration were markedly elevated, 37.7 mg/ml/hour(normal in supine position 0.15-2.33 mg/ml/hour) and 120.1 ng/dL(normal in supine position 1 to 16 ng/dL), respectively. Hypertension varied from 150/90 mmHg to 240/180 mmHg, and was not effectively controlled by antihypertensive drugs. Right nephrectomy was performed on the sixth hospital day. At laparatomy, there was no evidence of mechenical compression of the renal artery by the tumor. The tumor, about 8 cm in diameter, was confined to the renal capsule without involvement of the renal blood vessels at the hilum. Histopathology was Wilms' tumor of favorable histology. On electron microscopy, tumor cells contained intracytoplasmic electron dense secreting graules, suggesting the possibility of renin secreting tumor cells. Shortly after nephrectomy, signs and symptoms were relieved dramatically, and plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration were also decreased to normal.

  • Optical imaging and spectroscopy of G353.2+0.9, the brightest part of the giant H II region NGC 6357, shows that this H II region is optically thin, contains ${\~}300\;M_{\bigodot}$ of ionized gas and is probably expanding into the surrounding medium. Its chemical composition is similar to that found in other H II regions at similar galactocentric distances if temperature fluctuations are significant. The inner regions are probably made of thin shells and filaments, whereas extended slabs of material, maybe shells seen edge-on, are found in the periphery. The radio continuum and H$\alpha$ emission maps are very similar, indicating that most of the optical nebula is not embedded in the denser regions traced by molecular gas and the presence of IR sources. About $10^{50}$ UV photons per second are required to produce the H$\beta$ flux from the 1l.3'${\times}$10' region surrounding the Pis 24 cluster that is south of G353.2+0.9. Most of the energy powering this region is produced by the 03-7 stars in Pis 24. Most of the 2MASS sources in the field with large infrared excesses are within G353.2+0.9, indicating that the most recent star forming process occured within it. The formation of Pis 24 preceded and caused the formation of this new generation of stars and may be responsible for the present-day morphology of the entire NGC 6357 region.

  • This paper is concerned with the dynamics of hyperelastic solids and structures. We seek for a smart control actuation that produces a desired (prescribed) displacement field in the presence of transient imposed forces. In the literature, this problem is denoted as displacement tracking, or also as shape morphing problem. One talks about shape control, when the displacements to be tracked do vanish. In the present paper, it is assumed that the control actuation is provided by imposed eigenstrains, e.g., by the electric field in piezoelectric actuators, or by thermal actuators, or via analogous physical effects, such as magneto-striction or pre-stress. Structures with a controlled eigenstrain-type actuation belong to the class of smart structures. The action of the eigenstrains can be conveniently characterized by actuation stresses. Our theoretical derivations are performed in the framework of the theory of small incremental dynamic deformations superimposed upon a statically pre-deformed configuration of a hyperelastic solid or structure. We particularly ask for a distribution of incremental actuation stresses, such that the incremental displacements follow exactly a prescribed trajectory field, despite the imposed incremental forces are present. An exact solution of this problem is presented under the assumption that the actuation stresses can be tailored freely and applied everywhere within the body. Extending a Neumann-type solution strategy, it is shown that the actuation stresses due to the distributed control eigenstrains must satisfy certain quasi-static equilibrium conditions, where auxiliary body-forces and auxiliary surface tractions are to be taken into account. The latter auxiliary loading can be directly computed from the imposed forces and from the desired displacement field to be tracked. Hence, despite the problem is a dynamic one, a straightforward computation of proper actuator distributions can be obtained in the framework of quasi-static equilibrium conditions. Necessary conditions for the functioning of this concept are presented. Particularly, it must be required that the intermediate configuration is infinitesimally superstable. Previous results of our group for the case of shape control and displacement tracking in linear elastic structures are included as special cases. The high potential of the solution is demonstrated via Finite Element computations for an irregularly shaped four-corner plate in a state of plain strain.

  • Background: Many studies have reported negative psychological or physical effects of emotional labor. Relationship between work-related musculoskeletal disorder and psychosocial factors has been reported. To manage organizational and psychosocial factors of musculoskeletal disorder with work place intervention among emotional laborers, the factors contributing to musculoskeletal pain must be identified and clarified. Methods: Data from the fourth Korean Working Conditions Survey was analyzed. Based on the questionnaire, we selected emotional laborers and included 3,979 participants, excluding participants whose variables were of interest to the researcher. Weight variable was applied. The association with musculoskeletal pain and psychosocial factors, such as workload, monotonous work, job control, social support, and job satisfaction, was investigated. Results: Univariate analysis demonstrated that there was a statistically significant relationship between social support, job satisfaction, and musculoskeletal pain. In multivariate analysis, job satisfaction showed a strong correlation with musculoskeletal pain at all sites. Social support was significantly associated with backache. Monotonous work seemed to reduce the pain in the neck and/or upper limbs. Job control and work intensity were not significantly associated with musculoskeletal pain. Conclusion: In this study, job satisfaction was significantly associated with musculoskeletal pain, and social support among the social psychological stressors could reduce musculoskeletal pain. However, unlike previously known, the presence of monotonous work resulted in reduced musculoskeletal pain. The results of this study will help to establish the direction of improvement of atmosphere in the workplace to prevent the musculoskeletal pain of emotional laborers.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 소득수준에 따른 암 검진 이용 현황과 암 검진 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴보는데 있다. 2014년 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하였으며, 설문에 응답한 만 40세 이상 3,393명을 분석대상자로 하였다. 분석대상자의 일반적인 특성과 생활양식, 건강관련변수, 소득수준에 따른 암 검진 이용 현황을 파악하기 위하여 기술통계를 실시하였으며, 암 검진 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 소득수준에 따른 암 검진 이용 현황에는 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 암 검진 이용에 영향을 미치는 변수는 성, 연령, 배우자 유무, 교육수준, 경제활동 유무, 민간보험 가입 유무, 흡연상태, 중강도 신체활동 유무, 만성질환 개수, 가구소득 수준 등으로 나타났다. 이는 소득이 낮은 계층, 만성질환자 등을 위해 디지털 시대에 적합한 보다 효과적인 암 검진 프로그램의 개발이 필요함을 시사해준다. 이러한 결과들은 향후 소득수준에 따른 암 검진 이용의 형평성과 보건의료 정책 수립에 기초자료로 의미 있게 활용되어질 수 있으리라 여겨진다.
