Purpose: Ischial region is common site of pressure sore as well as greater trochanteric area. In general, ischial pressure sore associated with a large subcutaneous bursa often requires radical surgical treatment. The authors performed sclerotherapy using absolute ethanol which was considered as an alternative in treating recurrent ischial pressure sore. Methods: From may 2005 to February 2006, 11 ischial pressure sore patients were treated sclerotherapy using absolute ethanol. The authors performed sclerotherapy using absolute ethanol in 11 patients in whom the ischial sore has recurred despite of multiple radical surgical treatment. The patients' original disorders were spinal cord injury in 9 patients, cerebral palsy in 1 patient and giant cell tumor in thoracic vertebrae 1 patient. Results: Recurrence of pressure sore was not found in any patient during the follow-up period. The swap of the bursa taken before the surgery was germ cultured and compared with the discharge from an end of the inserted drain tube. The germ cultured results after the surgery were tested negative in all patients. Conclusion: This method involves causing the bursa to become scarred and closing it up by sterilizing, fixing, and denaturing by the pharmacologic effect of absolute ethanol instead of surgical excision of the bursa. We felt that aforementioned treatment modality may be considered as an alternative in treating recurrent ischial pressure sore.

Objectives : This study aims to design a method for drying forceps jars. As part of the process, holes were made in the forceps jars. Drying time, rate of wet pack, and cost of rewashing linen were then determined. Moreover, the study looked into the bacteria incidence rate in the forceps jars. This study suggests a practical way for preventing infection in a hospital through a surgical device. Methods : This study investigated the effect of forceps jars with holes on reducing drying time, rate of wet pack, and cost of rewashing linen. It also looked into the bacteria incidence rate in the forceps jars through a parallel design. Data was collected and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results : The drying time of a forceps jars was remarkably reduced from $18.44{\pm}0.2$ minutes(non-hole forceps jars) to $0.58{\pm}0.02$ minutes(4-hole forceps jars). The rate of wet pack of non-hole forceps jars was 51.4%. However, the rate of 4-hole forceps jars reached 4.6%. The cost of rewashing linen saw a decline from 38,073 won to 3,381 won. In addition, no bacteria and virus were detected from the 24-hours usage of forceps jars even though the jars had holes. Conclusions : The 4-hole forceps jars greatly increased work efficiency as a result of the reduced drying time, rate of wet-pack and cost of rewashing linen. The 4-hole forceps jars did not influence their sterilizing effect.

Objective: This experiment was studied the effects of various levels of crude glycerin (CG) in dairy goat diet on daily intake, milk yield, milk composition, some physical properties and some quality changes of goat milk after sterilization. Methods: Twelve 75% Saanen dairy goats (body weight = $49{\pm}3kg$; days in milk = $60{\pm}12d$) were randomly assigned in a completely randomized design to evaluate the effects of three experimental diets consisting of 0%, 5%, and 10% CG (dry matter basis) which were formulated to meet or exceed the nutrient requirements of goats. Experimental dairy goats were evaluated for feed and milk yield. Milk samples were analyzed for their composition, including fatty acids, casein profile, fat globule size, and color, and were sterilized to evaluate milk heat stability. Results: There were no significant differences between 0% and 5% CG treatments infeed. Increasing CG supplementation from 0% to 5% increased milk yield from $2.38{\pm}0.12$ to $2.64{\pm}0.23kg/goat/d$. In addition, milk samples from 5% CG treatment had the highest total solids, fat content and lactose content, and largest fat globule size. Increasing CG to 10% resulted in a decrease in milk fat. After sterilizing at $116^{\circ}C$, $F_0=3min$, goat milk samples from 5% CG treatment had slightly higher sediment content and comparatively higher degree of browning. Conclusion: Considering milk yield, milk fat content and quality of sterilized milk, 5% CG supplementation in a total mixed ration has a potential for implementation in dairy goats.

The effect of indoor air pollution on the human body is greater and more dangerous than outdoor air pollution. In general, a person stays indoors for a long time, and in a closed room, pollutants are continuously accumulated and the polluted air is better delivered to the lungs. Especially in the case of young children, it is very sensitive to indoor air and it is fatal. In addition, methods to reduce indoor air pollution, which cannot be ventilated with more frequent indoor activities and continuously increasing external fine dust due to Covid 19, are becoming more important. In order to improve the problems of the existing autonomous driving air purifying robot, this paper divided the map and Upper Confidence bounds applied to Trees(UCT) based algorithm to solve the problem of the autonomous driving robot not sterilizing a specific area or staying in one space continuously, and the problem of children who are vulnerable to indoor air pollution. We propose a space-adaptive autonomous driving air purifying robot for a green smart school that can be improved.

Objectives: In this study, the safety of alcohol-based hand sanitizers (ABHSs) for quasi-drugs and cosmetics was investigated by analyzing the ethanol content, which is an active ingredient with a sterilizing effect, and methanol, which is toxic. Methods: Forty-one ABHSs were purchased at large supermarkets and online stores. Ethanol quantification was performed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector, and methanol quantification was performed by headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: The ethanol content of ABHS in quasi-drugs was 49.6-67.8%, which was suitable for standard manufacturing procedures for external disinfectants, and the ethanol content of ABHS in cosmetics was 9.1-61.3%. The methanol content of ABHS in quasi-drugs ranged from not detected(N.D.)-131.8 ppm, which was suitable for the methanol detection standard of ethanol raw materials in the Korean Pharmacopoeia. The methanol content of ABHS in cosmetics was 23.4-859.7 ppm, which was suitable for the detection limit of methanol in cosmetics. Conclusions: The ethanol and methanol content of ABHS was judged to be safe. When selecting an ABHS to be used for sterilization, it seems necessary to check the content of ethanol, an active ingredient, and use it according to its intended purpose.

People who spend most of their day indoors are continuously exposed to internally and externally generated indoor pollutants. According to a 2022 report from the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is the cause of more than 7 million deaths annually worldwide, emphasizing the seriousness of indoor air pollutants. Air pollutants include nitrogen oxides (NOx), formaldehyde (HCHO), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which have serious effects on the human body. Photocatalyst is a material that can remove these indoor air pollutants. Photocatalysts not only have the ability to remove dust precursors, but also have antibacterial, sterilizing, and deodorizing functions, making them effective in improving indoor air quality. This study suggests areas and methods in which photocatalysts can be applied to buildings. Fields of application include interior and exterior construction materials such as concrete, as well as organic paints and ventilation devices. If appropriate utilization plans are developed, it may be possible to improve the built environment through reduced indoor and outdoor pollutant levels.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the main causal bacteria occurring stomach diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcer. These bacteria are found in most adults' stomach. Especially, 60~90% of H. pylori is found in Korean stomach. As a lot of curing methods have been applied to remove H. pylori and certain effects have been done but it's impossible to remove it perfectly with the existing medicines for curing. Therefore, it's very urgent to develop a certain substance showing more excellent effect than the existing medicines. In this study, it wasfound that organic acids can be accessed easily, inserted into mouth for curing and has excellent sterilizing effect among the substances showing excellent antibiotic power. Among them, acetic acid showed the most excellent effect. To confirm the refraining power against H. pylori, we performed tests through in vitro contact testing methods by concentration and tsta. In the result, H. pylori were terminated perfectly in the solution of acetic acid more than 0.3% within 1 minute. With a base of the result of In vitro test, It was performed in vivo test. As the results, H. pyloriwere terminated perfectly on 0.2% solution of acetic acid from the result of confirming through urease test, ELISA method and RT-PCR. Therefore, the result of this research will be very useful information in developing the functional foodstuffs using acetic acid in order to terminate H. pylori on the people's stomach, who suffers from H. pylori.

This study was undertaken to prolonging the freshness in Squid(Todarodes pacificus) on the effects of ice storage methods(tap water ice, electrolytic water ice) using stainless diaphragm electrolytic instrument and also test an efficiency of instrument. Basically, stainless diaphragm electrolytic instrument studied for changes of pH on difference water flow and ampere. The lower water flower and higher ampere made low pH on acid part of electrolytic instrument. Squid samples were stored in tap water ice, acid part of electrolytic water and base part of electrolytic water and used in studying the changes of VBN and skin color through storage. Acid water had strong sterilization effects and VBN was lower levels of acid water than the others. Base water had not sterilization effects. Tap water ice storage was more sterilizing effects than base water ice storage but less effects than acid water ice storage. Lightness of Squid skin showed getting decrease at storage of ice water of all storage methods but acid water ice storage showed more retarding than the other two storage. From these results, it could be suggested that acid electric water ice storage is effective in extendance the shelf-life of squid at chilled storage.
