지난 20년간 우리나라의 식중독발생건수가 계속적으로 증가하였음에도 불구하고, 이를 해결하기 위한 대책마련은 미흡한 실정이었다. 식중독사고는 국민건강에 악영향을 줄뿐만 아니라 심한 경우에는 국민의 목숨을 앗아가므로. 이 문제를 법적 조치만으로 해결하기보다는 업계종사자 및 국민들을 대상으로 하는 교육을 통하여 좀더 효과적으로 해결해 나가야만 한다. 따라서, 본 연구는 최근 우리나라의 식중독 발생현황을 모니터링하고 그 경향을 분석함으로써 문제점을 발견하고 그 해결 방안을 제시하며, 아울러 지역공중위생수준의 향상과 국민의 건강증진 및 보건에 대한 의식수준의 향상을 목적으로 최근 10년간(1991∼2000년)의 국·내외 학회지와 관련기관의 연구보고서를 근거로 하여 우리나라 식중독 발생현황을 원인균별, 원인식품별, 원인시설별로 분석하였다. 먼저 전체적인 식중독발생에 있어서, 우리나라의 식품위생수준이 예전에 비해 전반적으로 향상되었음에도 불구하고 식생활 형태의 변화로 식중독 발생은 해마다 증가하고 사건당 발생환자수 역시 90년도에 20명 정도였던 것이 2000년에 이르러서는 3.5배인 69.8명에 가까워져 식중독 발생이 점차 집단화 및 대형화되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 월별 식중독 발생양상은 97년도 이전까지는 기온이 높은 5∼9월의 하절기에 집중적으로 식중독이 발생하였으나, 98년과 2000년에 들어서는 식중독발생 범위가 하절기뿐만 아니라 연중 꾸준히 발생하고 있다. 한편, 지난 10년간 우리나라에서 발생한 식중독의 주요 원인균은 살모넬라균과 황색포도상구균 및 장염비브리오균이었고 이 세가지 균이 우리나라 식중독 사고발생의 85∼90%를 차지하고 있다. 주요 식중독 원인식품으로는 육류 및 그 가공품, 어패류 및 가공품, 김밥과 도시락 같은 복합조리식품을 들 수 있으며, 이로 인한 사건수나 환자수도 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 육류에 있어서는 돼지고기와 닭고기가 원인인 경우가 많고 어패류에 있어서는 회의 섭취가 주요원인이 되고 있다. 또한 김밥과 도시락 같은 복합조리식품에 의한 식중독발생은 90년대에 들어 중·소규모의 도시락 제조업체와 외식업체의 수가 늘어났기 때문이다.

Background: A number of studies have identified a shared susceptibility locus in phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCE1) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and gastric cardia adenocarcinomas (GCA). However, the results of PLCE1 expression in esophageal and gastric cancer remain inconsistent and controversial. Moreover, the effects on clinicopathological features remain undetermined. This study aimed to provide a precise quantification of the association between PLCE1 expression and the risk of ESCC and GCA through meta-analysis. Materials and Methods: Eligible studies were identified from PubMed, Wanfang Data, ISI Web of Science, and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. Using RevMan5.2 software, pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were employed to assess the association of PLCE1 expression with clinicopathological features relative to ESCC or GCA. Results: Seven articles were identified, including 761 esophageal and gastric cancer cases and 457 controls. Overall, we determined that PLCE1 expression was associated with tumor progression in both esophageal cancers (pooled OR=5.93; 95%CI=3.86 to 9.11) and gastric cancers (pooled OR=9.73; 95%CI=6.46 to 14.7). Moreover, invasion depth (pooled OR=3.62; 95%CI=2.30 to 5.70) and lymph node metastasis (pooled OR=4.21; 95%CI=2.69 to 6.59) were linked with PLCE1 expression in gastric cancer. However, no significant associations were determined between PLCE1 overexpression and the histologic grade, invasion depth, and lymph node metastasis in esophageal cancer. Conclusions: Our metaanalysis results indicated that upregulated PLCE1 is significantly associated with an increased risk of tumor progression in ESCC and GCA. Therefore, PLCE1 expression can be appropriately regarded as a promising biomarker for ESCC and GCA patients.

The results of this study on Purchase Patterns and Recognition of Processed Foods of School Meal Service Dietitians of elementary, junior and senior high schools in Chonbuk and Deagu Area are as follows : First, the rate of single cooking of the schools surveyed is 100% in Deagu and 66.9% in Chonbuk, and Chonbuk has more small-meal service schools which caused a higher labor cost than Deagu, Secondly, schools in Deagu has purchased not completely processed vegetables and fish and shells than Chonbuk, and Chonbuk(66.9%) has served more Kim-chi products than Deagu(41.6%). Thirdly, nutritional effects and preference have been considered as school dietitians make plans for the menu. Fourthly, the opinions of the school dietitians about processed food are in the order of high sodium content, convenience and the use of preservative, and Chonbuk has responded positively to the articles of future oriented quality, cooking usage and variety while Deagu has thought of it as an economical. The expected effects from the use of processed foods are in the order of saving labor time and student preferences. Fifthly, meat products have been frequently used and more frozen meat products have been used in Deagu and senior high school than Chonbuk and elementary and junior high schools, last, preferences on processed food are in the order of frozen sea food, noodles. dried sea food, processed vegetable and fruit, dairy goods and others. Senior high school dietitians have preferred packed meat products and other frozen processed food more than elementary and junior high school dietitians. The rate of serving processed food had a different depending on the number of students. In this study, dietitians recognize the harmful effects of processed foods over the merits, which means that the rate of using processed food is low. The proper usage of processed foods is thought to improve the preference of students, to have cooking time shortened and to help manage the meal service sanitarily and efficiently. Therefore, companies producing processed foods should do their best to develop safety and health oriented foods to gain the credibility, and the government should make new regulations for people to purchase and obtain processed foods without any doubt.

This research investigated the preparation of activated carbon derived from Krabok (Irvingia malayana) seed shells to improve the quality of crude glycerol obtained during biodiesel production. The activated carbon was prepared using a dry chemical activation method with NaOH, utilizing an innovative biomass incinerator. The results revealed that the resulting KC/AC-two-step exhibited favorable physicochemical adsorption properties, with a high surface area of 758.72 m²/g and an iodine number of 611.10 mg/g. These values meet the criteria of the industrial product standard for activated carbon No. TIS 900-2004, as specified by the Ministry of Industry in Thailand. Additionally, the adsorption efficiency for methylene blue reached an impressive 99.35 %. This developed activated carbon was then used to improve the quality of crude glycerol obtained from biodiesel production. The experimental results showed that the KC/AC-two-step increased the purity of crude glycerol to 73.61 %. In comparison, commercially available activated carbon (C/AC) resulted in a higher crude glycerol purity of 81.19 %, as analyzed by the GC technique. Additionally, the metal content (Zn, Cu, Fe, Pb, Cd, and Na) in purified glycerol using KC/AC-two-step was below the standards for heavy metals permitted in food and cosmeceuticals by the Food and Drug Administration of Thailand and the European Committee for Food Contact Materials and Articles. As a result, it can be inferred that Krabok seed shells have favorable properties for producing activated carbon suitable as an adsorbent to enhance crude glycerol purity. Furthermore, the improved crude glycerol from this research has potential for various industrial applications.
