Studies were carried out to investigate the relationship of the remaining percentage of antiseptics and the preservative effect of combined antiseptics and gamma radiation on the keeping quality of pork sausage. Antiseptics quantities, total bacterial counts, and pH were examined during the storage at $5^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1) After irradiation, quantities of antiseptics decreased in proportion to the level of dosage and K-SOA showed more radiosensitivity than AF-2 (p<0.01). 2) The remaining percentage of antiseptics during storage were higher in samples of more irradiated and stored at the lower temperature. AF-2 decreased less than K-SOA. 3) The correlation between the increase of total bacteria counts and percentage of antiseptics survival in sausage was highly significant(p<0.01). High doses of irradiation, storage at lower temperature and use of AF-2, however, seemed to be effective in controlling the increase of total bacterial flora. 4) From the relationships among quantities of antiseptics, number of total bacteria and sensory evaluation, it was shown that the most suitable radiation dose was considered to be 0.5 Mrad, which was superior to 0.75 Mrad in keeping qualities and nonirradiation odor. 5) Effect of gamma ray on the heme pigments of sausage surface was not recognized.

The purpose of this study was to compare in antiseptic effect between povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine-ethanol for laparoscopic cholecystectomy on the port site. A total of 46 patients admitted to surgery at one university hospital in Seoul were included in the study. A study group was randomly assigned using a random number table. The antiseptic effect was evaluated and compared to povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine-ethanol by using a culture and identification of bacteria, measurement of the number of bacteria (CFU/ml) and incidence of surgical site infection. Our results show that povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine-ethanol have no statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of bacteria after 3 minutes of disinfection and before removal of the trocar and in the number of bacteria and the incidence of surgical site infection. Thus, in order to select an efficient and appropriate skin antiseptics, we suggest that it is necessary to consider not only the disinfectant effect but also cost and convenience. In this research, our results about effect and usage of skin antiseptics can be used as basic data and educational resource, and this is expected to improve comprehension of skin antiseptics.

To investigate the effect of chlorhexidine gluconate and povidone iodine on wound healing, their antimicrobial activity and their effects on wound contraction in rabbits were studied. Staphyococcus aureus (1${\times}$10$\^$7/) was inoculated on the full thickness skin defects (2${\times}$2cm) on the back. Antiseptics were applied on the defects 2 hours after Inoculation. The defects were swabbed for bacterial culture 24 and 48 hours after the application of antiseptics. Percentage of wound contraction, based on wound area measured on the day of surgery was calculated for each wound on days 1,7 and 14. The 0.5% chlorhexidine gluconate solution had more effective antimicrobial activity against Staphyococcus aureus in wounds than 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate solution (p<0.05), and povidone iodine solution and saline (p<0.01). Percentages of wound contraction were not significantly different among different dilutions of the antiseptics and saline. Present study indicated that the antimicrobial activity of chlorhexidine gluconate in wound was superior to that of povidone iodine.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the combined effects of radiation and antiseptics on the keeping qualities of pork sausage, which was treated with potassium sorbate and AF-2(2-(-2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-acrylamide), and then followed by gamma radiation of 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 Mrad. Amounts of treated antiseptics were a quarter, half, and full levels of their maximum permissible concentration. Irradiated and unirradiated sausages were stored for 50 days at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;25^{\circ}C$, and their changes in rancidity, volatile basic nitrogen, bacterial counts, pH, and sensory analysis were examined during the storage period. The results obtained are as follows: 1) Preservative effects of antiseptics were manifested at cold storage; antiseptics treatment of a quarter-level and unirradiation following low-temperature storage showed the same good keeping qualities as the combined treatment of full-level antiseptics and radiation of 0.25 Mrad following high-temperature storage. 2) There did not appear to recognize irradiation-odor, while color and odor were deteriorated intensively by storage temperature. Sausage irradiated with 0.75 Mrad has shown slightly noticeable off-odor at the end of storage at $25^{\circ}C$. 3) The most suitable radiation dose was considered to be 0.5 Mrad, which could extend the storage life about $2{\sim}3$ times longer than untreated.

Emulsion-type cometics contain many kinds of carbon and energy source i.e., vegetable oil, mineral oil and carbohydrate etc., those can be used as nutrients and caused contamination by microbials. Thereby we have to keep cosmetics from the possibility of contamination by microbials. From this viewpoint, the purpose of this study is to get the data necessary not only to prevent dermatopathia occurred by microbials but also to sustain the quality. In this experiment, we observed how many Staphylococcus aureus were grown in the prepared cosmetics with or without antiseptics so as to prevent contamination. When the contamination proceed, the stability of phase was disturbed and creaming phenomina was happened with some discoloration and bad smell. About 40 days after, the pH was changed from 7.6 to 6.5 and the refractive index of cosmetic raw materials were changed from 1.4415 to 1.4490(water : oil=70:30). By adding antiseptics Into prepared cosmetics, the number of Staphylococcus aureus with challenge test method were decreased to 7$\times$103 cell/ml. For the antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus, p-hydroxy benzoic acid propyl ester in phosphoric acid buffer solution was the best.

Antiseptics are substances that kill or prevent the growth of microorganisms when applied to living tissue. They must be effective against microoranisms but must also retain their activity in presence of body fluids without being harmful locally or systemically. Among many antiseptics. $Betadine^{(R)}$ has been widely used because of its low toxicity and high germicidal efficacy. We reported 2 cases of allergic contact dermatitis to $Betadine^{(R)}$ in surgical patients. They had eczematous eruption along the $Betadine^{(R)}$ applying sites. Patch tests with $Betadine^{(R)}$ confirmed the diagnosis.

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of periurethral cleaning with water or antiseptics in preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections through systemic review Methods:The randomized clinical trials published between 2000 and 2016 were searched using domestic and international databases, and five randomized studies were selected for this study. The quality of study was assessed by assessment tool from the cochrane's Risk of Bias and meta-analysis was performed using the Cochrane Review Manager software Version 5.3 (RevMan) Results: The two groups of antiinfectants used in this study include povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine, water and chlorhexidine vs water and chlorhexidine. there was no significant difference in urinary tract infection rate between the two groups. Conclusion: Based on the findings, periurethral cleaning with water is safer and cost-efficient than using antiseptics. and it can make reduce a patient's discomfort.

Two functions of root canal medicaments and irrigants are to reduce microorganisms and to encourge the repair of apical tissues. The biocompatibility of endodontic materials has been tested using in vitro cell culture techniques. The purpose of this study Was to evaluate and compare the cytotoxic effects of 2 root canal irrigation solutions and 4 antiseptics on HEp-2 and McCoy cells. Two irrigation solutions were sodium hypochlorite. $H_2O_2$ and 4 antiseptics were povidone, ethanol, glutaraldehyde and benzalkonium chloride. Each solutions were serially diluted to 1:1, 1:10, 1:$10^2$, 1:$10^3$, 1:$10^4$, 1:$10^5$, 1:$10^6$. And each diluted solutions were added to the cells and cytotoxic effects were measured with the absorbance of formazan formed cells by ELISA READER. The results were as follows : 1. Benzalkonium chloride was the most cytotoxic on HEp-2 cell. (P<0.05) 2. $H_2O_2$ was the most cytotoxic on McCoy cell. (P<.05) 3. Povidone and ethanol showed mild cytotoxic effect on HEp-2 and McCoy cell. (P<0.05).
