In order to develop more rapid and reproducible analysis of biotin known as vitamin H, attempts were made to establish the condition for enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) compared with traditional microbiological assay(MBA). Antibiotin and antiserum were obtained from the immunized rabbits injected with emulsion of biotin KLH conjugate and Freund's adjuvant. The antiserum showed cross reactivity on biocytin, a derivative of biotin, which is converted to biotin in intestine, at the rate of 177%(median inhibitory concentration(IC50)=12.58ppb), but not on other derivatives such as desthiobiotin, diaminobiotin and 2 imino biotin. Specific antibody for biotin was purified from the antiserum through protein A column and desalting column. The conditions of competitive direct ELISA (cdELISA) were established. Detection range of biotin concentration by cdELISA was 0.01∼300ng/ ml(ppb). In the spike test with milk, fruit flake and pine carrot juice, the correlation coefficient between two methods of MBA and ELISA was reliably consistent at the value of r=0.992. But detection of biotin by microbiological assay(MBA) was rather restricted in range and nonspecific. Detection range of biotin by MBA was 0.1∼0.5ng/ml(ppb). It showed cross reactivities on biocytin and desthiobiotin at the rate of 80.1% and 66.7%, respectively. In conclusion, ELISA revealed a significant improvement compared with MBA for the biotin detection in terms of sensitivity, detection range and cross reactivity. In addition, a variety of samples could be analyzed rapidly and conveniently at one time by using ELISA. These results strongly suggest that the ELISA is very promising for the practical application to detect biotin contents in a wide range of food stuffs.

The local route of antibiotic administration can accomplish higher therapeutic doses in subgingival sites than those possible by systemic therapy. This investigation assessed on the clinical and microbiological effect of 30% Minocycline loaded polycaprolactone film (Mino-strip) on rapidly progressive periodontitis. Mino-strip was applied in the periodontal pockets of 15 patients with clinically diagnosed as a rapidly progressive periodontitis. 8sites for each patient with a 5mm probing pocket depth were selected in split mouth design and were assigned into group. i.e., placebo(group 1), supragingival scaling and R/P(group 2), Mino-strip applied only(group 3), R/P and Mino-strip applied(group 4). Supragingival scaling and oral hygiene instruction were performed 1 wk before experiment. Mino-strip was applied weekly on day 0 and 7. Clinical and microbiological test were performed on day 0, 7, 14, 28, 56. In R/P and Mino-strip applied group, Gingival index, GCF volume, probing depth and loss of attachment level were significantly reduced after the first weeks following treatment. In R/P and Mino-strip applied group, the relative proportions of spirochetes and motile rods were significantly reduced and the proportions of cocci and non motile rod were correspondingly increased for eight weeks following treatment. In R/P and Mino-strip treated group, total anaerobic and aerobic bacterial count were significantly decreased for the first two weeks following treatment and streptococcus count was decreased for eight weeks following treatment. In R/P and Mino-strip applied group, P. gingivalis, P. intermedius, B. forsythus, A. actinomycetemcomitans, F. nucleatum, E. corrodens, C. rectus counts were significantly reduced after the first week following treatment. According to this study, it is appeared that 30% Minocycline-loaded polycaprolacton film was effective in the treatment on rapidly progressive periodontitis.

Standard recipes of various Korean soups for cook/chill system were developed to provide foodservice managers in kindergarten with more effective management system. Three kinds of soup, Miyuck-gook (Korean sea mustard soup), Soup of beef and radish and Chige of beef and soybean paste (Korean thick soup made of beef and soybean paste) were selected as menu items in this study, and the standard recipes for these soups were developed through sensory evaluation, and microbiological analyses were performed to assure the quality of soup. The microbial counts of the soups which were chilled at 0-3$^{\circ}C$ and stored for 10 days in refrigerator were as follows: Aerobic bacteria were not detected in Miyuck-gook; however, those in Soup of beef and radish were 0.00-1.32${\pm}$0.28 log CFU/g and those in Chige of beef and soybean paste were 3.36${\pm}$0.10- 4.67${\pm}$0.08 log CFU/g. Coliform bacteria were not detected in any soups. All the items of sensory evaluation showed no significant differences between the first and third day of storage, except the flavor, tenderness, chewiness, feeling after swallowing of Soup of Beef and Radish and color of Chige of Beef and Soybean Paste. Overall acceptability scores of chilled stored foods in the first and third day were 6.40:t0.83 and 6.07 :to.46 in Miyuck-gook, 6.93 ${\pm}$0.80 and 6.27${\pm}$1.16 in Soup of beef and radish, and 6.40${\pm}$1.40 and 6.07${\pm}$1.44 in Chige of beef and soybean paste, respectively.

In this study, the prevalence of microbiological hazard on water purifiers at lunchroom in child care center was investigated. A total of 49 water purifiers and their purified cold water were sampled to test about the total aerobic bacteria, coliform bacteria, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp. Total aerobic bacteria was detected over 2.0 log CFU/mL in 6 out of 49 purified cold water (12.2%), ranged from 2.0 to 2.4 log CFU/mL, and the average number of total aerobic bacteria was showed to be 3.3 log CFU/drain spout. The drain spout turned out to be a major contaminant in water purifier and needs to be improved. Coliform bacteria were also detected in 7 out of 49 cold faucets (14.3%) and 7 out of 49 drain spouts (14.3%), but not detected in purified cold water. All samples were not contaminated with the pathogens tested in this study, except for B. cereus, which was contaminated on 2 out of 49 cold faucets (4.1%) and 4 out of 49 drain spouts (8.2%). All of B. cereus isolates produced enterotoxin, such as heamolysin BL enterotoxin (HBL) or non-heamolytic enterotoxin (NHE). The HBL was detected in 5 out of 6 B. cereus isolates (83.3%), including B. cereus PCF-11 and B. cereus PDS-30 isolate only produced NHE (16.7%). These results showed that the sanitary conditions of cold faucets and drain spouts should be improved promptly.

An aerobic microbiological process was tested in 1.5 L stirred tank reactors for the treatment of dinitrotoluenes (DNTs)[e.g., 2.4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT)] in the test culture of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, which had previously characterized. Both 2,4-DNT and 2,6-DNT were completely degraded within 10 days and 14 days of incubation, respectively. Addition of the secondary carbon was essential to degrade DNTs, and little degradation was achieved in the absence of the secondary carbons. The effect of additional nitrogens on the degradation of DNTs was evaluated. Complete degradation of DNTs was observed in the absence of any additional nitrogens, whereas DNTs were partially degraded in the growth media with additional nitrogens. Both HPLC and GC-MS were used to detect and verify the residual DNTs and their intermediates. As the results, the HPLC and GC-MS chromatograms demonstrated that the both parent compounds, 2, 4-DNT and 2,6-DNT, and respective intermediates, 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene and 2-amino-6-nitrotoluene, could be successfully identified under the analytical conditions.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of stipulated cleaning process, and the prohibition of cross-contamination and microbiological contamination, which inadequate cleaning in multi-production could occur, through cleaning validation of multi-purpose facility used to produce five biopharmaceutical products as sterile injection. After production of five biopharmaceutical products such as hGH, rhGCSF, rhEPO, rhFSH and rhIFN using vial filling machine, the cleaning validation such as residual analysis of active ingredients or human serum albumin, measurement of total organic carbon (TOC), residual analysis of detergent and microbiological contamination were carried out. In the case of rhGH and rhGCSF clean validations, drug residues were not detected. Furthermore, in the case of rhEPO, rhFSH and rhIFN clean validations, human serum albumin residues were not detected. At TOC (total organic carbon) analysis, all clean validations gave the TOC of about average 137.93%, not more than 150% of acceptance criteria. At sodium analysis for the checking of residues of cleaning agent, sodium residues were not detected. In sterility test, they showed no microbiological contamination of bacteria and fungi. Thus, this cleaning validation was determined as successful in protection of cross-contamination and induction of safety in multi-purpose facility.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and microbiological effects of the local use of egg yolk immunoglobulin against Porphyromonas gingivalis (anti-P.g. IgY) as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic periodontitis. Methods: This was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial involving 60 systematically healthy patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis. Subjects (n=20/group) were randomly assigned to receive SRP combined with subgingival irrigation of anti-P.g. IgY and anti-P.g. IgY mouthwash, subgingival irrigation of 0.2% chlorhexidine and 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash, or subgingival irrigation of placebo and placebo mouthwash for 4 weeks. Probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing, and the plaque index were evaluated at baseline and at 4 weeks. Subgingival plaque, gingival crevicular fluid, and saliva were simultaneously collected for microbiological analysis. Results: Our results showed that anti-P.g. IgY mouthwash was as effective as chlorhexidine at improving clinical parameters over a 4-week period. All the groups showed a significant reduction in levels of P.g. at 4 weeks. No significant difference was observed in the test group when compared to placebo regarding the reduction in the levels of P.g. Anti-P.g. IgY significantly suppressed the numbers of red complex bacteria (RCB) in subgingival plaque and saliva in comparison with placebo. No adverse effects were reported in any of the subjects. Conclusions: Within the limitations of the study, the present investigation showed that passive immunization with anti-P.g. IgY may prove to be effective in the treatment of chronic periodontitis due to its ability to improve clinical parameters and to reduce RCB. No significant differences were found between the anti-P.g. IgY and placebo groups in the reduction of P.g.

Here is a research on hospital foodservice system, when korea traditional food of pyeon yuk and bin dae deok were used by ready-prepared foodservice system, it was estimated the preservations of microbiological quality and sensory quality. All data collection was replicated three times. The results were as following; 1. In time and temperature data, two menu items were needed internal temperature below $7^{\circ}C$ in a cooling stage, and in the case of cook/chill storage, the days were shortened within weeks, and the holding time must be possiblely minimized. Finally foods were served sanitary. 2. In view of microbiological safety, in the case of cook/chill storage as $0{\sim}4^{\circ}C$ the days must be shortened within 2 weeks and its was possible to store until 6 weeks in $-20{\sim}-23.3^{\circ}C$. So to preserve pre-cooked food longly, it was effective to freeze them quickly by using vacuum package and to reheat them by a microwave oven before serving and to serve lastly in microbiological quality. 3. Hospital ready-prepared foodservice system with food storage in plastic bags, biochemical test of C. Perfingens C. botulinum and Salmonella were not detected. 4. By using of a microwave oven, it had effects of thawing, reheating and sterilizing of chilled and frozen foods in a short time. 5. Sensory evaluations were made by a 10-member panel using five scoring tests. Because sensory of quality was lowered in the case of chilled storage, it was possible to serve foods within 2 weeks. Texture and aroma were preserved by cook/frozen system and usually there was no significance from 4 weeks until 6 weeks, but considering of the objects, it was good to store until 4 weeks in sensory quality.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence and bacterial load of 6 main periodontal pathogens between pairs of periodontal patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans genotypes were also investigated. Methods: Twenty patients affected by chronic periodontitis and type 2 diabetes were retrospectively selected and matched to 20 patients without diabetes on the basis of the degree and severity of periodontal disease. Microbiological data of subgingival biofilms were analysed and compared for the examined pathogens: A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Treponema denticola, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Tannerella forsythia. Results: The pairs were balanced in terms of demographic and clinical parameters, except for bleeding on probing and suppuration. In the microbiological test sites (4 for each patient), the mean probing pocket depth was 6.34±1.63 mm in patients with diabetes and 6.41±1.78 mm in patients without diabetes. No significant difference between pairs in the prevalence of P. gingivalis or the distribution of its genotypes was recorded. Patients with diabetes had a significantly greater amount of total bacterial load, P. gingivalis, T. denticola, T. forsythia, and F. nucleatum (P<0.05). Moreover, patients with diabetes had a higher number of sites with a greater cell count than patients without diabetes. When compared to the total bacterial load, only T. forsythia maintained its relative load in patients with diabetes (P=0.001). Conclusions: This retrospective matched study supports the hypothesis that microbiological differences exist among periodontal patients with and without diabetes mellitus.
