  • The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of different methods of hand washing by counting the number of bacteria on the hand surface. Eighteen clinicians were chosen and divided into three groups, consisting of six clinicians each. Culturing of the right raw palms of all individuals was performed. Individuals in the control group washed hands for 5 seconds with antimicrobial soap. Group 1 washed their hands for 10 seconds with antimicrobial soap. Group 2 washed with an instant alcohol-based hand sanitizer. After the respective washes, re-culturing of the right raw palm was done for each member of all groups. The colony-forming units (CFU) were calculated at each time point, and the reduction rate of CFU among the three groups were statistically evaluated using student t-test. All groups showed a significant decrease in CFU, according to the time applied (P<0.01). In addition, the reduction rate of CFU between the groups were statistically evaluated with ANOVA (P<0.01). It showed statistically difference between the control group and group 1, control group and group 2. The present study confirmed that the hand washing method with antimicrobial soap for 10 seconds and hand sanitizer, including alcohol, were excellent for decreasing the number of bacteria on the hand surface.

  • Purpose: This study was a within subject repeated pretest-posttest design done to compare the effect of disinfection and the degree of MRSA(Methicillin- resistant staphylococcus aureus) isolation from hand disinfectant in ICU nurses. Method: Out of the total internal medicine/surgery ICU nurses at a university hospital in Seoul, 29 female nurses who were participating in direct patient care were participants in this study. After collection of samples, Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA were isolated from the palms, nails and nasal cavities of the nurses according to disinfectants (soap and beta-scrub). Results: The effect of disinfection was greater in the beta-scrub group than in the soap group, and the effect of disinfection on palms was higher in the beta-scrub group than in the soap group. As for the degree of MRSA isolation, there was more isolation in palms in the soap group than in the beta-scrub group but there was no difference in the degree of MRSA isolation from the hand disinfectant in nails and nasal cavities. Conclusion: Beta-scrub showed a superior prolonged effect against transient bacteria compared with soap. Further, to reduce MRSA infection, we recommend interventions focused on these aspects.

  • In this paper, we propose an effective web service software platform for remote monitoring and control. We removed the servlet container for better web service performance so as to improve the gSOAP processing which is an essential element of web service implementation. Furthermore, we designed the web service server/client software platform which can be applied to robot or ubiquitous sensor applications. For validation of this study we tested it by manufacturing robot hardware for monitoring control which combined tanks and sensors on a LDS4000 engine board mounted with a PXA270 processor. The practical excellence and the efficiency of the result of this study was validated by the comparison of gSOAP message exchange load between the web service client application and the conventional remote monitoring control technique through a web server.

  • A Web Service is an URL addressable set of functionality that is exposed over a network to serve as a building Hock for creating distributed applications. SOAP is a protocol that Web Service consumers often use, when they request and response to a Web Service, and it is a lightweight, XML-based protocol over HTTP for exchange to information in decentralized, distributed environments. A Web Service is very useful forimplementing common functions in especially a large size business area, because it is invoked by a protocol like HTTP or SOAP that we easily use, and by an XML-based data format In this paper, we implement Web Services that process dip data by computers in enterprise accounts in order to enhance the transparency and productivity of enterprises. we analyse the structure of slip data, design dip database, implement stored procedures for manipulating data of slip database, and make thorn controlled by Web Services. The result of this paper will contribute to the standardization and activation of accounting process systems for e-business area.

  • The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of face wash with ginseng cold process (CP) soap. In order to remove external environmental factors, skin changes were examined immediately after 10 minutes of face wash. The same water and towel were used at the same place. As a control group, the cases of washing with water without using cleanser and with foam cleanser (F/C), which is a popular commercial product, were set. In the case of water washing, there was a significant decrease in pores and pigmentation, but the significance was small. In the case of F/C washing, there was a very significant decrease in pores and pigmentation, but the loss of moisture was rapid. In the case of ginseng cp soap, pores and pigmentation were significantly reduced, while moisture loss was negligible. Ginseng cp soap is considered as a form of face wash that is suitable for skin care.

  • Objectives : Acne is a common disease that affects more than 70% of adolescents. Acne patients have a poor quality of life compared to patients with other skin diseases. We tried to demonstrate the effectiveness of acne treatment using cleansing soap which is easily used in daily life. Methods : We selected 20 students with acne symptoms on their facial skin. We made herbal Cp (Cold process) soaps using Seosiokyongsan, Kyungohkgo, Hwangryunhaedoktang and Baeksoooh and distributed them to experiment participants. We let them wash their face in the morning and evening for 6 weeks using herbal Cp soap. Prior to the experiment, their skin condition was checked and assessed using A-ONE Smart One-Click Automatic Facial Diagnosis System three times at 3-week intervals. Acne status was classified into 6 stages according to KAGS and acne status was also measured 3 times in total. After the experiment, the changes of skin were analyzed through facial analysis test. Results : Based on the KAGS classification, the condition of acne has improved as a whole. The state of moisture was gradually increased and the state of skin oil was significantly decreased after 6 weeks of using soap compared to before using soap. Conclusions : Cp soaps made from four kinds of herbal medicine are believed to improve the condition of acne by increasing the moisture of the facial skin and decreasing the skin oil content.

  • Objectives : The pores are the openings of sebaceous glands or apocrine glands. They are enlarged by various factors such as sex, age, genetic influence, sebum secretion, acne and so on. When the pores are visually recognizable, they become aesthetically problematic. There are various methods of treating pores, but we have tried to develop a method to reduce pore size by using daily cleanser. Methods : Facial skin examination was performed on 104 students of A university. Among them, 10 persons with large pore size were selected. We surveyed 72 students to determine their subjective skin condition, lifestyle, and washing habits etc. We made herbal fermented soaps using Seosiokyongsan and distributed them to experiment participants. We let them wash their face in the morning and evening for 6 weeks using herbal fermented soap. Prior to the experiment, their skin condition was checked and assessed using A-ONE Smart One-Click Automatic Facial Diagnosis System three times at 3-week intervals. After the experiment, the changes of skin were measured and analyzed through facial analysis test. Results : In our experiment, the early 20s, 9.6% of the students had slightly larger pores. For students with large pores, there was a high likelihood of side effects from using facial products. Using the fermented soap made of Seosiokyongsan, the average size of the pores and the number of large-sized pores were significantly reduced. Conclusion : Seosiokyongsan fermented soap can effectively reduce especially the large size of pores.
