  • 목적: 신속 요소 분해 효소 검사법은 헬리코박터 파이로리 감염의 진단에 있어서 빠르고 신뢰성 높은 검사이다. 그러나 내시경을 통한 위점막의 생검이 필요할 뿐 아니라 국내의 의료보험에서는 위암 환자에 대해 급여 인정이 되지 않는 제한점이 있다. 따라서 저자들은 대체 방법으로 위절제술 직후 생검된 위점막 검체를 이용하여 신속 요소 분해 효소 검사를 시행하였고 이를 소개하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 위절제술을 시행 받은 위선암 환자들 중 90명을 대상으로 헬리코박터 파이로리에 대한 IgG 항체 검사를 시행하였으며, 위절제술 직후 위전정부와 위체부 각각에서 점막 생검을 하여 신속 요소 분해 효소 검사 키트에 고정한 후 24시간 이내에 색깔변화를 통해 양성 여부를 판독하였다. 본 연구에서는 면역 혈청학적 검사에서 양성이거나 신속 요소 분해 효소 검사에서 양성인 경우 헬리코박터 파이로리 감염이 있다고 정의하였다. 결과: 신속 요소 분해 효소 검사와 면역 혈청학적 검사에서 양성인 경우가 각각 91.1%와 77.8%였다. 신속 요소 분해 효소 검사의 민감도, 특이도, 양성 예측률, 음성 예측률은 94.3%, 100%, 100%, 37.5%였으며, 면역 혈청학적 검사는 80.5%, 100%, 100%, 15%로 나타났다. 신속 요소 분해 효소검사의 정확도는 94.4%로 면역 혈청학적 검사의 81.1%보다 높았다. 신속 요소 분해 효소 검사의 헬리코박터 파이로리 감염 진단률이 면역 혈청학적 검사보다 더 높았다. 결론: 본 연구에서 위선암 환자에서 위절제술 후 생검된 위점막 검체를 이용한 신속 요소 분해 효소 검사법은 문헌상에 보고된 통상적인 신속 요소 분해 효소 검사법의 진단률과 대등하였다. 따라서 위절제술을 시행 받는 환자에서 헬리코박터 파이로리 감염의 대체 검사법으로 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

  • African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious disease of domestic pigs and wild boars (WBs). Without a vaccine, early antibody and antigen detection and rapid diagnosis are crucial for the effective prevention of the disease and the employment of control measures. In Sardinia, where 3 different suid populations coexisted closely for a long time, the disease persists since 1978. The recent ASF eradication plan involves more stringent measures to combat free-ranging pigs and any kind of illegality in the pig industry. However, critical issues such as the low level of hunter cooperation with veterinary services and the time required for ASF detection in the WBs killed during the hunting season still remain. Considering the need to deliver true ASF negative carcasses as early as possible, this study focuses on the evaluation and validation of a duplex pen-side test that simultaneously detects antibodies and antigens specific to ASF virus, to improve molecular diagnosis under field conditions. The main goal was to establish the specificity of the two pen-side tests performed simultaneously and to determine their ability to detect the true ASF negative carcasses among the hunted WBs. Blood and organ samples of the WBs hunted during the 2018/2019 hunting seasons were obtained. A total of 160 animals were tested using the pen-side kit test; samples were collected for virological and serological analyses. A specificity of 98% was observed considering the official laboratory tests as gold standards. The new diagnostic techniques could facilitate faster and cost-effective control of the disease.

  • African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly contagious and lethal pathogen that poses a threat to the global pork industry. The World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) has placed strict surveillance measures for ASFV. The possibility of long-term survival of ASFV in raw meat or undercooked pork has been reported. Accordingly, the problem of secondary infection in food waste from households or waste disposal facilities has emerged, raising the need for ASFV monitoring of food waste. However, most of the previously reported ASFV gene detection methods are focused on clinical monitoring of pigs. There are very few cases in which their application in waste has been verified. Since ASFV diagnosis requires rapid monitoring and immediate action, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) may be suitable, but this requires conformity assessment for LAMP to be used as a diagnostic technique. In this study, six LAMP methods were evaluated, and two methods (kit and manual) were recommended for use in diagnosing ASFV in food waste.

  • 목적: Mycoplasma pneumoniae 폐렴은 학동기 소아와 청소년의 지역사회 획득 폐렴 중 가장 흔한 원인으로, 조기에 원인 진단이 가능하다면 적절한 항균 요법을 결정하는데 도움이 된다. 본 연구는 하기도 감염 소아의 호흡기 검체에서 M. pneumoniae를 검출하기 위한 신속 항원 검사 방법의 진단적 가치를 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 2010년 8월부터 2018년 8월까지 하기도 감염으로 서울대학교 어린이병원에서 응급실 또는 입원 치료를 받은 소아로부터 채취한 비인두 흡인물 중 M. pneumoniae 배양 검사를 시행한 후 $-70^{\circ}C$ 초저온냉동고에 보관되어 있는 검체 215개를 선정하였다. 비인두 흡인물 검체를 실온에서 해동하고 면역크로마토그래피를 이용한 Ribotest $Mycoplasma^{(R)}$를 시행한 후 두 명의 검사자가 결과를 판독하였다. 검사를 시행하는 자와 판독하는 자는 배양 검사 결과를 모르는 상태에서 검사를 진행하였다. 결과: 총 215개의 비인두 흡인물 검체 중 M. pneumoniae가 배양 양성인 검체는 119개, 배양 음성인 검체는 96개였다. M. pneumoniae가 배양 양성인 119개 중 74개(62.2%)가 Ribotest $Mycoplasma^{(R)}$ 검사 결과 양성이었고, 배양 음성인 96개 중 92개(95.8%)가 Ribotest $Mycoplasma^{(R)}$ 검사 결과 음성이었다. 배양 검사 결과를 기준으로 평가한 Ribotest $Mycoplasma^{(R)}$의 민감도는 62.2%(74/119, 95% 신뢰구간, 53.5-70.9%)이었으며, 특이도는 95.8% (92/96, 95% 신뢰구간, 91.8-99.8%)이었다. 또, 양성 예측도는 94.9% (74/78, 95% 신뢰구간, 90.0-99.8%)이었으며, 음성 예측도는 67.2% (92/137, 95% 신뢰구간, 59.3-75.0%), 그리고 일치도 77.21% (166/215, 95% 신뢰구간, 71.6-82.8%)를 보였다. 결론: 본 연구 결과, 신속 항원 검출법인 Ribotest $Mycoplasma^{(R)}$ 검사결과가 양성인 경우는 M. pneumoniae 배양 양성과의 일치도가 매우 높아서 M. pneumoniae 감염의 진단에 유용하였다. 그러나, Ribotest $Mycoplasma^{(R)}$ 검사결과가 음성인 경우의 약 1/3은 M. pneumoniae 배양 양성인 검체이었으므로, 음성 검사 결과에 대한 해석은 주의하여야 한다.

  • Currently, molecular diagnostic assays based on nucleic acid amplification tests have been shown to effectively detect mycobacterial infections in various types of specimen, however, variable sensitivity was shown in FFPE samples according to the kind of commercial kit used. The present study therefore used automated PCR-reverse blot hybridization assay (REBA) system, REBA Myco-ID HybREAD 480®, for the rapid identification of Mycobacterium species in various types of human tissue and compared the conventional one-tube nested-PCR assay for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). In conventional nested-PCR tests, 25 samples (48%) were MTB positive and 27 samples (52%) were negative. In contrast, when conducted PCR-REBA assay, 11 samples (21%) were MTB positive, 20 samples (39%) were NTM positive, 8 samples (15%) were MTB-NTM double positive, and 13 samples (25%) were negative. To determine the accuracy and reliability of the two molecular diagnostic tests, the one-tube nested-PCR and PCR-REBA assays, were compared with histopathological diagnosis in discordant samples. When conducted nested-PCR assay, 10 samples (59%) were MTB positive and seven samples (41%) were negative. In contrast, when conducted PCR-REBA test, three samples (17%) were MTB positive, 10 samples (59%) were NTM positive and four samples (24%) were negative. In conclusion, the automated PCR-REBA system proved useful to identify Mycobacterium species more rapidly and with higher sensitivity and specificity than the conventional molecular assay, one-tube nested-PCR; it might therefore be the most suitable tool for identifying Mycobacterium species in various types of human tissue for precise and accurate diagnosis of mycobacterial infection.

  • Ascidian soft tunic syndrome (AsSTS) caused by Azumiobodo hoyamushi (A. hoyamushi) is a serious aquaculture problem that results in mass mortality of ascidians. Accordingly, the early and accurate detection of A. hoyamushi would contribute substantially to disease management and prevention of transmission. Recently, the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method was adopted for clinical diagnosis of a range of infectious diseases. Here, the authors describe a rapid and efficient LAMP-based method targeting the 18S rDNA gene for detection of A. hoyamushi using ascidian DNA for the diagnosis of AsSTS. A. hoyamushi LAMP assay amplified the DNA of 0.01 parasites per reaction and detected A. hoyamushi in 10 ng of ascidian DNA. To validate A. hoyamushi 18S rDNA LAMP assays, AsSTS-suspected and non-diseased ascidians were examined by microscopy, PCR, and by using the LAMP assay. When PCR was used as a gold standard, the LAMP assay showed good agreement in terms of sensitivity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV). In the present study, a LAMP assay based on directly heat-treated samples was found to be as efficient as DNA extraction using a commercial kit for detecting A. hoyamushi. Taken together, this study shows the devised A. hoyamushi LAMP assay could be used to diagnose AsSTS in a straightforward, sensitive, and specific manner, that it could be used for forecasting, surveillance, and quarantine of AsSTS.

  • The purpose of this study was to establish early diagnostic methods for the detection of Aujeszky's disease viral antigens and nucleic acid in nasal cells, and buffy coats from experimentally infected living pigs by a combination of immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization with digoxigenin(DIG)-labled probe and electron microscopy. Forty days old piglets were inoculated intranasally with $10^{7.0}TCID_{50}$ of Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV, NYJ-1-87 strain). The viral antigens and nucleic acid of ADV were detected in nasal cells, and buffy coat for 20 days after inoculation by immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization with DIG-labeled probe and electron microscopical method. The results were compared with conventional methods such as a porcine Aujeszky's disease serodiagnostic(PAD) kit, neutralization test(NT) and virus isolation. 1. The viral antigens, nucleic acids and capsids of ADV were detected in nasal cells, buffy coats from 3 days to 20 days after inoculation by immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization with DIG-labeled probe and electron microscopy, respectively. 2. When viral antigens were detected by the immunocytochemical technique, a diffuse brown deposit was observed in the nucleus and cytoplasm of nasal cells, buffy coats and PK-15 cells under a microscope. 3. DIG-labeled DNA probe was prepared by amplification of conserved sequence of recombinant ADV-gp50 clone with polymerase chain reacction. When ADV-DNA was detected by ISH with DIG-labeled probe, purplish blue pigmentation were observed in the nuclei and cytoplasms of ADV-infected cells under a microscope. Positive signals were observed in nasal cells and in the buffy coat and PK-15 cells at the first day after inoculation. 4. Where ADV-capsids were detected by transmission electron microscopical method, aggregation of capsids was observed in the nuclei and cytoplasms of nasal cells, buffy coats and PK-15 cells. The results suggested that these methods were considered as the highly sensitive and reliable tools for rapid and confirmative diagnosis of Aujeszky's disease in living pigs.

  • This study was performed to identify the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis in diarrhea feces of Korean native calves raised in Gimje, Jeollabuk-do, with a rapid diagnostic kit. The prevalence of both diseases were classified according to the age of calf, season of sampling period, and sampled farm where diarrheic calf is commonly observed. In diarrhea feces of 431 calves, cryptosporidiosis had a high incidence rate between 1 and 3 weeks of age, whereas giardiasis showed a high incidence between 4 and 6 weeks of age. It is thought that the incidence of protozoan diseases is markedly influenced by the calf's postnatal age. Regarding with the sampling season, the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis in calves was significantly higher in spring and summer than in autumn and winter (P<0.05). Among the sampled farms where both diseases are commonly observed, cryptosporidiosis was more frequently detected than giardiasis in calves. Particularly, in farms where cryptosporidiosis is common, it tends to be a disease that is difficult to eradicate as it occurs continuously throughout the year. Hygiene management such as regular cleaning and disinfection of the livestock and the surrounding environments is considered necessary to reduce and prevent damage from these protozoal diseases.

  • Canine babesiosis has been scarcely investigated in the Republic of Korea (ROK). Although it is known that Babesia gibsoni is its primary causative agent, its clinical presentation has not been completely clarified in the ROK. Consequently, the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical appearance of this parasitic infection based on the anamnesis of the patient and compare of hematological and biochemical test results. Four hundred whole blood samples from patients with a presumptive diagnosis of tick-borne disease were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the Babesia spp. 18S rRNA gene and by a rapid diagnostic test kit (VetAll Laboratories®) to detect B. gibsoni seroreactive animals. Thirty-six (9.0%) dogs were PCR-positive but only 24 (6.0%) were seropositive. The investigation revealed that all the courses of the disease are present in the ROK, with the acute course being predominant. The acute course tends to consist of inappetence, lethargy, pyrexia, gastrointestinal symptoms, and occasionally hematuria. It also occurs with common hematological abnormalities, such as thrombocytopenia and anemia, and to a lesser extent biochemical abnormalities, such as hyperbilirubinemia, hypoalbuminemia, and elevated liver enzymes. This research shows that B. gibsoni is an endemic hemoparasite capable of producing a variety of clinical manifestations in dogs. For its accurate diagnosis, a descriptive history of the clinical signs, hematology, and biochemical profile of the patient, along with a well-performing PCR assay, are essential. These findings will help in planning pragmatic preventive strategies against this potent threat in the ROK.

  • 최근 진단분야에 있어서의 가장 획기적인 진보로는 향상된 진단 술식의 민감도와 특이도를 들 수 있으며 이는 다양한 면역 화학물질과 분자생물학적 시약의 활용도가 증가되고 이와 더불어 진단용 기구의 수준 향상으로 가능해진 미세 술식의 발달에 따른 결과이다. 이러한 기술의 발전은 임상검사용 검체 뿐만 아니라 DNA의 공급원으로서의 타액의 진단학적 가치를 고려하게 되었다. 본 연구는 인체의 타액에서 genomic DNA를 분리하고 이를 혈액 및 협점막 swab에서 분리한 genomic DNA와 비교 검토해 봄으로써 타액 검체의 진단학적 활용도를 살펴보고, 타액 검체의 다양한 보관 과정이 genomic DNA의 분리에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 시행되었으며, 또한 분리된 genomic DNA의 안정도를 살펴보고자 중합효소 연쇄반응 분석법을 이용하여 $\beta$-globin 유전자의 증폭을 시행하였다. 10명의 피검자(평균 나이: $29.9{\pm}9.8$ 세)를 대상으로 혈액, 비자극성, 자극성 전타액 및 협점막 swab을 채취한 후 이로부터 genomic DNA를 분리하였다. 여러 다양한 보관조건이 genomic DNA에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 건강한 20명의 피검자(평균 나이: $32.3{\pm}6.6$ 세)를 대상으로 자극성 전타액을 채취하여 실온, $4^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$, $-70^{\circ}C$, 자연 건조 및 동결 건조 상태에서 1, 3, 5 개월 동안 보관한 후 genomic DNA를 분리, 조사하였으며, 분리된 genomic DNA의 안정도를 살펴보고자 중합효소 연쇄반응 분석법을 이용하여 989-bp의 $\beta$-globin 유전자를 증폭한 후 전기영동 검사를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 타액으로부터 분리한 genomic DNA의 농도는 혈액의 경우에 비하여 유의하게 낮았으며(p<0.05), 타액군 간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 자극성 전타액과 이를 동결 건조한 검체에서 분리한 genomic DNA의 순도는 혈액의 경우에 비하여 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.05), 협점막 swab으로부터 분리한 genomic DNA 의 순도는 타액의 경우에 비하여 유의하게 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 2. 실온에서 보관한 타액 검체로부터 분리한 genomic DNA의 농도는 1 개월 후부터 점차적으로 감소되었으며, 3 개월과 5개월 동안 보관한 타액 검체에서는 유의하게 감소되었다(각각 p<0.05, p<0.01). DNA의 순도 또한 점차적으로 감소되어 3 개월과 5 개월 동안 보관한 타액 DNA의 순도는 신선한 타액과 1 개월 동안 보관된 타액 검체의 순도보다 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 3. 타액 검체를 $4^{\circ}C$$-20^{\circ}C$에서 보관한 후 분리한 genomic DNA의 농도는 3 개월의 보관 기간 동안 유의한 변화가 없었으나, 보관 기간 5 개월 후의 검체에서는 유의하게 감소되었다(p<0.05). 4. 타액을 $-70^{\circ}C$에서 보관한 검체와 동결 건조한 후 보관한 검체로부터 분리한 genomic DNA의 농도는 보관 기간에 따른 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 보관 후 5 개월 후의 검체에서는 DNA의 농도가 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 5. 타액을 자연 건조한 후 즉시 genomic DNA를 분리한 결과, 신선한 타액에 비하여 약 60%의 DNA를 얻을 수 있었다. 자연 건조한 후에 실온에서 보관한 타액 검체로부터 분리한 genomic DNA 농도는 보관 2 주 만에 급격하게 감소되었다(p<0.05). 6. 중합효소 연쇄반응 방법을 이용한 $\beta$-globin 유전자의 증폭은 동결 건조한 후 보관한 타액의 경우 보관 기간 5 개월까지의 모든 검체에서 가능하였으며, 보관 기간 1 개월을 기준으로 보았을 때 $-20^{\circ}C$$-70^{\circ}C$에서 보관한 타액의 경우 모든 검체에서, $4^{\circ}C$에서 보관한 타액의 경우 일부분의 검체에서만 증폭이 가능하였고, 실온에서 보관한 타액과 자연 건조 후 실온에서 보관한 타액의 경우는 증폭이 이루어지지 않았다.
