Background : Most strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) now exhibit high-level resistance to various antibiotics, such as β -lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides, macrolides, tetracyclines and quinolones. Recent reports describing the therapeutic failure of vancomycin for MRSA infections have arisen considerable concerns regarding the emergence of MRSA strains, which will require new therapeutic agents. Arbekacin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, has antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and is stable in the presence of aminoglycoside inactivating enzymes produced by S. aureus. In this study, we compared the antibacterial activity of arbekacin with those of vancomycin, gentamicin, and amikacin against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). Methods : For a collection of 549 S. aureus and 251 CNS isolates from three Catholic University Hospitals in Korea, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of arbekacin, vancomycin, amikacin and gentamicin were determined by agar dilution method using Mueller-Hinton agar according to NCCLS (National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards, USA)criteria. Results : Among 549 S. aureus isolates, 278 isolates were MRSA and 271 isolates were methicil sensitive S. aureus (MSSA). MIC50 & MIC90 of arbekacin against 549 S. aureus were 0.5 & 1 ㎍/mL, and MIC50 & MIC90 of vancomycin were 1 & 1 ㎍/mL. MIC of arbekacin against 549 S. aureus isolates ranges from 0.03 to 4 ㎍/mL, and MIC of vancomycin against 549 S. aureus ranges from 0.25 to 2 ㎍/mL. MIC90 of amikacin against 549 S. aureus was 32㎍/mL, and that of gentamicin was 128 ㎍/mL. MICs of amikacin and gentamicin were variable, ranging from 0.125 to 256, and otherwise arbekacin and vancomycin revealed relatively narrow range of MICs. MIC90 of arbekacin against 278 MRSA isolates & 271 MSSA were 1 & 0.5 ㎍/mL, and those of vancomycin against MRSA & MSSA were 1 & 1 ㎍/mL. MIC90 of amikacin against 278 MRSA & 271 MSSA isolates were 32 & 4 ㎍/mL, and that of gentamicin against MRSA & MSSA isolates were 128 & 32 ㎍/mL respectively. Among 251 CNS isolates, 122 isolates were MRCNS and 129 were MSCNS. MICSO & MIC90 of arbekacin against 251 CNS isolates were 0.25 & 2 ㎍/mL, and those of vancomycin were 1 & 2 ㎍/mL. MIC of arbekacin against 251 CNS isolates ranges from 0.015 to 32 ㎍/mL, and that of vancomycin isolates ranges from 0.25 to 2 ㎍/mL, MIC90 of arbekacin against 122 MRCNS & 129 MSCNS isolates were 2&0.3 ㎍/ML, and those of vancomycin were 2&s ㎍/ML. MIC90 of amikacin against 251 CNS isolates was 32 ㎍/ML, and that of gentamicin was 128 ㎍/ML for CNS. MIC90 of amikacin against 122 MRCNS & 129 MSCNS isolates were 128 & 8㎍/mL, and those of gentamicin ere 256 & 32 ㎍/mL. Conclusion : Considering above results, arbekacin can be useful agent against most strains of MRSA and MRCMS, which exhibit high-level resistance to amikacin and gentamicin.

Recently, paper strength properties come up to be lowered by increasing ratio of utilization of recycling paper. In order to overcome these problems, strengthening agents which may cause enviromental problems have been used. Therefore, acrylamide was added to starch which is a cheap natural polymer, carbamoylethyl starch(CES) with high activity was prepared, and so the applicability as a paper additive was examined. The results are following; FT-IR spectra of CES of which degree of substitution was 0.25 showed strong C=O band at 1680㎝^-1 which corresponds the carbonyl group n amides(amide Ⅰ). Analysis of bravender viscosity showed that cooking start point of CES is 60℃ and instant viscosity is 830 B.U.(bravender unit). Effect of carbamoylethl DS on strength properties was resulted that CES of DS 0.20 appeared to be the best choice for making handsheets from KOCC with good overall strength properties, and it was selected as standard sample. Effect of pH on strength properties was obvious for their increasing values as decreasing pH. Also, a 5-fold increase in size rate as well as significant increase in wet-tensile strength were obtained in handsheets from KOCC by 3% wet-end addition of CES.

Feasibility of simple rapid methods to determine nitrate concentration in soil and plant sap in siltu was assessed using Merckoquant strip method and Cardy NO_(3)- sensor. The saturated extract of a soil was sampled readily in field by a simple apparatus which consists of a syringe, a vial and a hand vacuum pump with a vacuum valve. The simple measurement methods for saturated extract were tested for soil samples obtained from the thirty three farm vinyl houses around Chuncheon, Kang-weon-Do and Kuri, Kyeonggi-Do. The methods were tested for soil and plant sap samples grown under different fertilization in a vinyl house at Kangweon National University. The main treatments were with or without organic fertilizer, and subtreatments were four nitrogen levels ; 0, 100, 200 and 400kg/ha for lettuce and 0, 150, 300 and 500k9/ha for cucumber. The Cardy sensor method showed a high confidence for soil and plant sap nitrate measurement. The Merckoquant strip method was also reliable, but checking electrical conductivity was recommended for better reliability. The soil nitrate concentration above 10mmo1/L was not desirable for lettuce yield, and 15mmo1/L for cucumber. The respective electrical conductivities of saturated extracts were 3 to 4ds/m at these concentrations. The soil nitrate concentration could be monitored by Amberlite IRN-150 Resin-bag. A good correlation was obtained between the soil nitrate concentration and the nitrate absorbed by the resin bag. Therefore, use of the resin bag could be recommended to monitor nitrate in soil, minimizing soil destruction.

목적 : Panipenem은 일본에서 개발된 카바페넴계 항생제로 그람양성균, 그람음성균, 혐기균에 이르기까지 광범위한 항균력을 나타낸다고 보고되고 있지만 국내에서 분리되는 균주에 대한 감수성 검사결과는 아직 없다. 본 연구에서는 임상에서 분리된 E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, S. pneumoniae 균주를 대상으로 carbapenem 계열 및 몇 가지 항생제와 감수성을 비교하고, 특히 P. aeruginosa의 경우 carbapenem의 효과를 Muller-Hinton agar (MHA)가 반감시킬 수 있는 특성을 고려하여 감수성에 변화가 있는지 확인하고자 하였다. 방법 : 2002년 3월부터 6월까지 가톨릭대학교 성모병원, 강남성모병원, 성가병원, 성모자애병원, 성빈센트병원에서 분리된 임상균주 E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, S. pneumoniae를 대상으로 하였다. 항생제 감수성 검사는 NCCLS 기준에 따랐고 P. aeruginosa의 경우 MHA 이외에 minimal agar Davis (MAD)를 추가로 사용하였다. 감수성 결과 해석시 panipenem은 imipenem과 같은 기준을 적용하였다. 결과 : E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa는 각각 100균주였고, S. penumoniae는 134균주였다(PSSP 41, PNSP 93균주). E. coli, K. pneumoniae는 모든 균주가 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem에 대해 감수성을 보였다. P. aeruginosa의 경우 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem, ceftazidime의 MIC_(90)은 각각 16, 8, 32, 64㎍/mL이었다. MHA와 MAD 배지를 이용하여 P. aeruginosa에 대한 항생제 감수성을 비교해 본 결과 imipenem, panipenem의 MIC_(90)가 각각 16, 32㎍/mL에서 8㎍/mL로 감소하였고, imipenem에 비해 panipenem이 더 많이 감소하였다. S. pneumoniae의 경우 PSSP는 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem에 대해 모두 내성이 없었고 PNSP는 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem에 대한 MIC_(90)가 각각 1, 2, 0.25㎍/mL이었다. 결론 : 결론적으로 panipenem은 E. coli, K. pneumoniae에 대해 기존의 카바페넴계 항생제와 유사한 우수한 항균력을 보였다. P. aeruginosa의 경우 ceftazidime, imipenem과 비슷한 항균력을 보였고 아미노산 함량이 적은 배지를 사용함에 따라 MIC가 낮아졌으며 imipenem보다 더 많은 영향을 받았다. S. pneumoniae의 경우 특히 PNSP에서 기존의 카바페넴계 항생제보다 우수한 항균력을 보였다. Panipenem은 주요 그람음성균 및 폐렴연쇄구균 감염에 유용할 것으로 기대된다. Background : Panipenern (PAPM) is a new carbapenern which has an enhanced broad spectrum against both gram-positive and negative organisms. The aim of study was to compare the activities of PAPM with those of imipenern (IMPM), meropenern (MRPM) against several clinical isolates in Korea. Methods : We tested the in vitro antimicrobial activities of PAPM, IMPM, and MRPM against total 300 clinical isolates of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 134 Streptococcus pneumoniae collected from 5 different university hospitals. Using NCCLS guidelines, MICs of PAPM, IMPM, MRPM, and/or ceftazidime were determined. Results : All isolates of E. coli and K. pneumoniae were susceptible to PAPM, IMPM and MRPM. MIG_(90) of PAPM, IMPM, and MRPM against P. aeruginosa were 32, 16, and 8 ㎍/mL, respectively. Comparing Mueller-Hinton agar (MHA) and minimal agar Davis (MAD), the MIG_(go) of PAPM and IMPM were reduced from 16 and 32 ㎍/mL to 8 and 8 ㎍/mL, respectively. PAPM was more influenced by MAD than IMPM. All isolates of penicillin susceptible S. pneumoniae showed 0% of resistance to the carbapenems tested. MIC_(90) of PAPM, IMPM and PRPM against penicillin non-susceptible S. pneumoniae were 0.25, 1 and 2 ㎍/mL, respectively. Conclusion : Panipenern could be one of the potentially useful drugs for the treatment of infections caused by E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and S. pneumoniae. We also showed that PAPM had good anti-pseudomonal activity when examined in MAD, the amino acid-limited media. Therefore, it could be useful for the treatment of infections caused by P. aeruginosa.

산업폐수로부터 분리한 1,4-Dioxane을 분해할 수 있는 새로운 세균인 Shinella granuli CK-4의 특성

최문섭(Moon-Seop Choi),최기승(Ki-Seung Choi),오계헌(Kye-Heon Oh) 한국생물공학회 2021 KSBB Journal Vol.36 No.1

We have characterized a novel bacterium, strain CK-4 isolated from industrial wastewater, which is capable of utilizing 1,4-dioxane as sole carbon source and energy. Complete depletion of 1 g/L 1,4-dioxane by CK-4 cultures growing on AMS media was achieved within 168 h. Both the Biolog system and phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA sequencing were utilized for identification, and the strain was designated as Shinella granuli CK-4, and registered in GenBank as [MN841914]. The mortality of CK-4 was not greatly affected by 1,4-dioxane concentrations below 10 g/L but was increased with increasing 1,4-dioxane concentrations. SDS-PAGE revealed that the amount of lipopolysaccharide in CK-4 increased or decreased according to the 1,4-dioxane concentration. The expression of 60-kDa GroEL stress shock protein (SSP) was increased in proportion to concentrations below 10 g/L 1,4-dioxane but was not expressed at concentrations above 15 g/L dioxane. On the other hand, 70-kDa DnaK SSP was not expressed at any 1,4-dioxane concentrations (0~20 g/mL) tested. SEM demonstrated that the surface of CK-4 cells exposed to 10 g/L dioxane was not significantly different from that of normal cells, whereas cells exposed to 20 g/L 1,4-dioxane showed the presence of perforations and irregular rod forms with wrinkled cell surfaces. These results provide clues to understanding the resistance of S. granuli CK-4 to 1,4-dioxane and the promotion of 1,4-dioxane degradation, which can be applied to the treatment of industrial wastewater with higher concentrations of 1,4-dioxane.

Our previous research has demonstrated that Shinella granuli CK-4 is capable of utilizing 1,4-dioxane as its sole source of carbon and energy when isolated from industrial wastewater [1]. In this study, we have extended this work to investigate the relationships between 1,4-dioxane degradation and the strain CK-4 and several relevant physicochemical environmental parameters in 3 L bench-scale bioreactors. One gram of 1,4-dioxane per liter was completely degraded within 96 hours of incubation, and the optimum temperature for 1,4-dioxane degradation was 30oC. 1,4-Dioxane degradation by CK-4 gradually increased as a function of airflow rate and agitation speed, and the optimum airflow rate and agitation speed were 2.5 L/min and 500 rotation per minutes, respectively, in this study. The addition of 50 mg/L tetrahydrofuran as a supplemental carbon source was found to stimulate the maximal bacterial growth and 1,4-dioxane degradation. The optimum results obtained from these experiments were combined and applied for 1,4-dioxane degradation. As a result, the complete degradation of 1,4-dioxane was achieved with the CK-4 culture within 72 hours of incubation. We explored the feasibility of using the cultures of S. granuli CK-4 for the degradation of 1,4-dioxane with the aim of microbial application in industrial wastewater treatment in bench-scale bioreactors.

Objectives The aim of this review is to provide fundamental data for temporomandibular disorders diagnosis and evaluation criteria which can be used in clinical trial. Methods We investigated the clinical studies on temporomandibular disorders via PubMed. Also, we searched domestic articles through “OASIS”, “NDSL”, “KISS”, “Korean Traditional Knowledge Portal (KTKP)”. The articles we focused on were the recent decade from 2007 to 2016. A total of 139 studies were analyzed: 42 domestic articles and 97 overseas articles. This study focuses on the diagnosis and evaluation criteria on temporomandibular disorders. Results 1) In diagnosis criteria, Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) was used 14 times in domestic articles and 63 times in overseas articles. Clinical symptoms were used 13 times in domestic articles, 17 times in overseas articles. 2) In evaluation criteria, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used as a pain scale 12 times in domestic articles, 63 times in overseas articles. Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) was used 16 times in overseas articles. Whereas, no clinical trials used PPT in domestic articles. In psychological scale, Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) was used 6 times. However, SCL-90-R was used 2 times in domestic articles. ROM(Maximum Mouth Opening (MMO), Maximum Comfortable Opening (MCO) were used 24 times in overseas. In domestic articles, MMO was counted 12 times, while MCO was counted 5 times. Conclusions This research reviewed the tendency of using diagnosis methods and evaluating outcomes of the clinical on TMD. It is expected that this investigation would develop further treatment for TMD in the Korean Medicine. (J Korean Med Rehabil 2016;26(4): 45-55)
