Increasing sugar intake of population has become a nutritional issue in Korea. Sweet taste perception may be related to behaviors such as eating sweet food including high sugars and total sugar intake. This study aimed to evaluate objective and subjective sweet taste perception and the association among objective sweet taste perception, dietary behaviors related to eating sweet snack food including high sugar, and total sugar intake from the snacks. Participants were 261 healthy female college students (mean age: $21.0{\pm}1.6years$), who were divided into three subgroups based on oral sweet taste evaluation using a sweet taste assessment tool provided by Ministry of Food and Drug Safety: sweet-seeker group (n=139), medium sweet-seeker group (n=54), and unsweet-seeker group (n=68). There was no significant difference in weight and body mass index (BMI) among the three groups; however, the sweet-seeker group had significantly higher sweet taste preference than that of the other groups. Though more people in the sweet-seeker group thought they tended to eat sweet foods than the medium sweet-seeker and unsweet-seeker groups, over half of the sweet-seekers did not think they tended to eat sweet foods. The sweet-seeker group was more likely to eat sweet snacks such as breads, chocolate products, sugar-sweetened milk, and so on than the unsweet-seeker group. Total sugar intake from the selected sweet snacks was 44.4 g for the sweet-seeker group, 34.4 g for the medium sweet-seeker group, and 28.0 g for the unsweet-seeker group with a significant difference. These results indicated the absence of relationship between objective sweet taste perception and the obesity index; however, significant associations were detected among objective sweet taste perception, eating sweet snacks and total sugar intake from the snacks. We also found high disagreement between objective and subjective sweet taste perception of the subjects. The present study provided the novel insight that measuring objective sweet taste perception may be useful for assessing the risk of high sugar consumption and undesirable dietary behaviors.

Objectives: Currently, there is only limited knowledge regarding the hazard of low-level exposure to CMR materials in workplaces. To overcome this limitation, a reference concentration for workers($RfC_w$) from among the risk assessment tools proposed by the US EPA is widely used to set a provisional workplace exposure level(PWEL) for CMR materials for which there are no established Korea Occupational Exposure Limits(KOELs) or subjective chemicals for work environment measurements as regulated by Korea Ministry of Employment and Labor(KMOEL). A simple European calculator of derived no effect level(SECO-DNEL) as proposed by REACH can also be used in place of $RfC_w$ to set the PWEL for chemicals. This study was performed to test the acceptability of using SECO-DNEL as an alternative to $RfC_w$ when setting a PWEL for low-level exposures. Methods: The $RfC_w$ and DNEL for the five CMR materials of dinitrogen oxide, catechol, 2-phenoxy ethanol, carbitol, and carbon black were calculated using the dose-response assessments of the US EPA for $RfC_w$ and REACH guidance for SECO-DNEL, respectively. They were compared using paired t-tests to determine the statistical differences between them. Results: For the five chemicals, the $RfC_w$ were 2.53 ppm, 0.10 ppm, 1.73 ppm, 1.66 ppm, and $0.05mg/m^3$, respectively, while the SECO-DNEL were 2.01 ppm, 0.11 ppm, 1.83 ppm, 1.77 ppm, $0.14mg/m^3$, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between $RfC_w$ and SECO-DNEL. Conclusions: This study suggests that the SECO-DNEL could be applied in place of $RfC_w$ to set a PWEL for low-level exposure to chemicals, especially CMR materials. To further ensure the reliability of SECO-DNEL as an alternative tool, more chemicals should be applied for calculation and comparison with $RfC_w$.

The rapid increase in food borne illness outbreaks in Korea has been one of the major threats to the Nation's Health. Foodservice establishments have been identified as the major place for these outbreaks, mainly due to the lack of sanitary management and sanitary facility management practices. The purposes of the study were to develop hospital foodservice facility evaluation tools, based on the general HACCP-based standards and guidelines, for hospital food service establishments, to ensure the safety of these foodservices and to reduce the risk of food home illness. The scope of this study included: 1) an assessment of the current foodservice sanitation practices and managements for 6 general hospitals, with more than 400 beds, and 3 general hospitals, with less than 400 beds; 2) the development of foodservice establishments sanitation evaluation tools and sanitation standards, based on the HACCP system. The survey data showed varied results between the hospitals surveyed. Most of the hospital foodservice operations had many problems with ventilation and the plumbing. The total dimensional mean scores for the hospitals with more than 400 beds and less than 400 beds were 31.5 and 27.0, respectively. The highest dimension scores were for the water supply facility and lighting, with the lowest for insect and rodent control and toxic materials management. The levels of the mean scores were very low, especially for the general hospitals with less than 400 beds. These low mean scores may have arisen from critical problems within the hospital foodservice operations. The most needed facility management items for improvement were: storage shelf should be spaced 6 inches from the floor and walls, the use of three compartment sinks, utility sinks and cleaning facilities, with a floor drain for cleaning mops or liquid wastes, a ventilation hood designed to prevent dripping onto food, cooking facilities should be disassembled for washing and sanitizing, a separated hand washing sink and a sanitized food board for each area should be provided, all toxic material must have warning labels attached, and be stored in an area away from food preparation under padlock. The evaluation tool consisted of 14 dimensions, with 65 check-off items. The results of this study will provide basic facilities' guidelines to regulators, or foodservice industry personnel, wishing to build, or expend, and establish an efficient flow of food. As a result, food borne illnesses will be effectively prevented, and the Nation's health will be promoted for the development of their own sanitation standards, with a checklist for the safe production of foods.

본 연구는 수육에 쉽게 오염될 수 있는 S. aureus에 대한 성장 예측모델을 적용하고, 이를 비교하여 수육을 안전하게 관리하기 위한 적절한 모델을 제시하고자 하였다. 온도에 따른 S. aureus의 성장곡선은 5, 15, $25^{\circ}C$의 보관온도에서 측정하였다. 수육에 오염된 S. aureus의 성장결과를 기초로 온도에 따라 Baranyi model과 Gompertz model을 이용하여 SGR와 LT를 산출하였다. 두 모델에 대하여 R2과 RMSE를 산출하여 통계적인 적합성을 비교하였으며 그 결과 Baranyi model에서는 각각 0.98, 0.27, Gompertz model에서는 각각 0.84, 0.84로 나타나 Baranyi model이 온도변화에 따라 S. aureus 생육을 예측하기 위한 이차모델의 변수 값으로 사용하는데 더 적합하였다. RSM을 이용한 2차 모델에서는 $R^2$이 5, 15, $25^{\circ}C$에서 각각 0.88, 0.99, 0.99로 나타나 실험값과 예측값의 상관관계가 높았다. 또한 RMSE는 온도별로 각각 0.11, 0.24, 0.10로 나타났고, $B_f$는 각각1.12, 1.02, 1.03로, $A_f$는 각각 1.17, 1.03, 1.03로 나타나 통계적 적합성이 높다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 개발된 모델을 이용할 경우 수육의 다양한 조리환경과 온도에 따른 S. auresus 성장을 추정할 수 있으며, 이를 위해 평가에서 충분히 활용할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Objectives This study aimed to investigate whether the concurrent use of conventional and herbal medications affects liver and kidney function, by examining blood test data. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of 590 inpatients with musculoskeletal diseases between 2013 and 2017. We investigated cases of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) according to the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method criteria and cases of drug-induced kidney injury (DIKI) based on the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes definition. Results One case (0.17%) of DILI and one case (0.17%) of DIKI were identified. Significant improvements in serum laboratory data were observed after the concurrent use of both types of medications (p<0.05). The kappa coefficients ranged from 0.26 to 0.72, indicating that the values after the concurrent use of conventional and herbal medications showed a fair similarity to the baseline values of the patients. The linear regression test showed that female sex and high body mass index (BMI) were risk factors for an increase in the serum blood levels of liver function parameters. Conclusions The concurrent use of conventional and herbal medications for musculoskeletal disorders is relatively safe; however, clinicians should exercise caution when prescribing these medications to female patients and patients with a high BMI because of their potential effect on hepatic function.

의약품의 제조, 유통, 보관 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 잠재적 불순물은 의약품의 품질과 안전에 영향을 미치며 반응성이 높은 불순물의 경우 인체에 대한 발암성(변이원성)을 나타내기도 한다. 이를 위해 국제의약품규제조화위원회(International Conference on Harmonisation, ICH)에서는 "잠재적 발암 위해를 제한하기 위한 의약품 중 DNA 반응성(변이원성) 불순물의 평가 및 관리"에 대한 내용을 담은 M7(R1) 가이드라인을 제공하여 채택을 권고하였다. 하지만 가이드라인에서도 잠재적 불순물에 대한 분류, 섭취 허용량, 관리방안 등과 대표적인 불순물 14 종에 대한 가이드라인 적용을 소개하는데 그치고 있어 제약회사와 규제 당국에서 실제 관리를 위한 의약품 중 잠재적 불순물의 분석에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 따라 본 총설에서는 비의도적 변이원성 불순물의 정의와 ICH M7(R1) 가이드라인에 소개된 내용을 간략하게 살펴보는 한편 현재까지 보고된 주요 잠재적 불순물의 분석 동향을 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 통해 식약처를 비롯한 감독 기관과 제약회사 등에서 의약품 중 잠재적 불순물 관리에 조금이나마 도움이 되고자 한다.
