Ozone Sterilizer for Treatment and Health Care

Ozone is a green broad-spectrum bactericidal disinfectant, and a trace amount of ozone in the atmosphere makes many viruses and bacteria lose their biochemical activity and infectivity. Nature produces trace amounts of ozone in the air through lightning to purify the ecological environment. The product of ozone decomposition is oxygen, without secondary pollution. Ozone sterilizer is widely used in the epidemic prevention and control of intensive breeding farms and achieved remarkable results. If the concentration and action time of ozone can be accurately controlled, then ozone can quickly eliminate pathogens, without harming the normal cells in the human body. How to use medical ozone for epidemic prevention, treatment and health care is a subject worthy of serious study, which should arouse the attention of the experts in the field.

Ultra-Violet (UV): A Good Bacterial Sterilizer?

Introduction: The aim of this study was to improve the DISTER-UV and to perform microbiological quality control at the biomedical laboratory of the West African Polytechnic University from January 2022 to November 2022. Methodology: During this eleven-month prospective study, we set up a quality control device (QCD). For microbiological quality control, we performed different cultures of bacteria with different bacteriological and morphological characteristics at T0 (no sterilization) and at T30 (after 30 minutes of sterilization under DISTER-UV). Results: After the realization, the DCQ attached to the DISTER-UV1 allows to display of the UV wavelength present in the light box. This device also displays and alerts when the UV intensity emitted by the lamps is below 250 nm. During microbiological quality control, the cultures carried out at T30 and incubated for 24 hours did not reveal any bacterial colonies. This shows the bactericidal character of DISTER-UV-2. Conclusion: The improvement and the microbiological quality control allowed us to switch from DISTER-UV1 (without sensor) to DISTER-UV-2 (with sensor or DCQ). The biological control allowed us to affirm that the DISTER-UV-2 is bactericidal.

Study on a New Ultraviolet Sterilizer to the Surface Disinfection of the Ultrasound Probe

We studied the disinfection effect of a new ultraviolet （UV） sterilizer and its utilization on ultrasound probe surfaces. Carrier quantitative germicidal tests, simulated on-the-spot trials, and organic substance influence tests were used to carry out experimental observation. Artificially infected probes were disinfected using the sterilizer or a germicidal lamp for comparison. The total number and types of bacteria were determined and identified. Our results demonstrated the sterilizer had the best disinfection effect among three different disinfection methods in hospital. The sterilizer has been used in a hospital setting for 2 years with no notable damage to the ultrasound probe instrument. It has the advantages of fast disinfection, high disinfection effect, and good compatibility with the ultrasound instrument, worthy of being a promoted application in medical institutions.

Observation of Effectiveness of Clinical Sterilization by CASP-80A Low-Temperature Plasma Sterilizer

The influence on the effectiveness of sterilization by low-temperature plasma sterilizer CASP-80A was investigated so as to provide a theoretical basis for reducing medical costs and achieving ideal sterilization effectiveness. To conduct the on-site simulation test, a clinical material sterilization test and a test of the influence of organic substance were conducted, the former by using the representative of Bacillus Stearothermophilus, preparing the bacteria-contaminated carrier through polytetrafluoroethylene （PTFE） simulated hose endoscopes, and the latter by using calf serum as the influence factor of the organic substance. The results show that the CASP-80A low-temperature plasma sterilizer could achieve effective sterilization by either the short-cycle or the long-cycle sterilization method depending on different materials, apparatus, and extent of contamination. The organic substances could influence the effectiveness of sterilization by the low-temperature plasma （H2O2） sterilizer.

Changes in physicochemical characteristics of wheat flour and quality of fresh wet noodles induced by microwave treatment

Fresh wet noodles(FWN) are popular staple foods due to its unique chewy texture and favorable taste. However,the development of FWN is limited by its short shelf life and high browning rate. It has been found that the quantity of original microorganisms in wheat flour produced by traditional method is relatively high, which is detrimental to the processing quality and storage stability of FWN. Consequently, it becomes imperative to decrease microorganisms in wheat flour. Microwave treatment has been regarded as a promising method in the food industry due to its potential in inhibiting microbial growth and inactivating enzymes without causing adverse effect on the food quality. This study aims to investigate the effects of microwave treatment of wheat kernels under different powers(1, 2, 3, 4, 5 kW) on the physicochemical properties of wheat flour and the quality of FWN. The results revealed that microwave treatment had a significant effect on microbial inhibition and enzyme inactivation, wherein the total plate count(TPC) and yeast and mold counts(YMC) decreased by 0.87 lg(CFU/g) and 1.13 lg(CFU/g) respectively, and PPO activity decreased from 11.40 U to 6.31 U. The dough quality properties, such as stability, extensibility, and starch viscosity, improved significantly under different microwave conditions. Confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM) images indicated that starch and proteins aggregated gradually in treated flour, altering rheological properties of dough. From the results of scanning electron microscopy(SEM), microwave treatment led to the appearance of disrupted structure in the gluten proteins, but the secondary structure of proteins altered slightly. Rheological properties of dough confirmed that the microwave treatment greatly affected processing characteristics of wheat flour products, with significant advantageous consequences on product quality, especially for textural properties of FWN. Furthermore, FWN darkening could be inhibited noticeably after microwave treatment, thereby prolonging its shelf life. Therefore, microwave treatment could thus be an effective, practical technology to produce low-bacterial flour and thereby enhance its product quality.

Analysis of the Effect of Quality Control Circle on the Central Sterile Supply Department

Objective:To analyze the effect of quality control circle on the central sterile supply department(CSSD).Methods:The control group and the observation group each consisted of 180 instruments received by the sterilization supply center from January to March 2023 and 11 CSSD staff.The control group underwent routine management while quality control circle was implemented in the observation group.The quality of work,disinfection and sterilization qualification rates,disinfection and sterilization of various instruments,cleaning indicators,and management satisfaction of both groups were compared.Results:The observation group scored higher in terms of work quality,the qualification rate of disinfection and sterilization in each link,the disinfection and sterilization of instruments,and cleaning indicators compared to the control group.Besides,the management satisfaction of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:A quality control circle ensures the quality of work,improves the cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization of instruments of the CSSD,and improves the management satisfaction of the CSSD staff.

电极间隙对脉冲电场处理器杀菌效果的影响

脉冲电场是新型非热杀菌技术,杀菌效率高、有效保留液体食品的营养成分,具有广阔的应用前景。电极间隙作为脉冲电场杀菌处理器的关键指标,决定处理器的电场分布和杀菌效果。为了获得最佳间隙参数,提升杀菌效果,为此设计了共场型脉冲电场处理器,电极间距分别为3、5和7 mm,针对固定电导率(等效鲜榨柚子汁电导率)的2种典型细菌(金黄色葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌)菌悬液,研究了脉冲电场的杀菌效果。研究发现,3 mm电极间距所能施加最大电压为18 kV,5、7 mm的可达30 kV;处理时间为120 s时,3种间隙的杀菌效率均可达99.99%。因此,综合考虑电源性能、设备能耗和处理能力,首选3 mm电极间距为处理器的应用参数。评估外施电压幅值对杀菌效果的影响,发现细菌存活量的下降趋势可根据其下降速率分为“慢-快-慢”3个阶段。结合菌悬液上清液蛋白质含量的上升趋势,充分说明了电穿孔应为脉冲电场的主要杀菌机制。

西瓜雄性不育类型的遗传学鉴定与胚胎学观察

为了明确西瓜雄性不育材料的不育类型和花药败育时期,以西瓜雄性不育系GMS4为材料,对花蕾不育性状进行田间观察统计,利用石蜡切片法观察西瓜花药发育过程。结果表明,该材料不育性状由1对隐性基因控制,为细胞核雄性不育类型。可育株雄蕊发育正常,不育株雄蕊较小,花药干瘪无花粉,可育株和不育株雌蕊发育无明显差异,均可正常结瓜。从花药发育的整个过程来看,在花药发育早期,可育株和不育株花药结构形态差别不大,在小孢子母细胞减数分裂期,不育株异常绒毡层细胞过度增殖,体积小,排列不整齐,挤压药室,无二分体和四分体形成,在花药发育后期,无花粉粒形成,最终导致西瓜雄性不育发生。据此认为,花药败育发生时期在小孢子母细胞减数分裂期。
