Comparison of biofilm cleaning agent and multi-enzyme detergent on endoscopic biofilm cleaning effects / 中华消化内镜杂志

Objective@#To investigate the cleaning effects of biofilm cleaning agent and two kinds of multi-enzyme detergents on endoscopic biofilm.@*Methods@#Endoscopic biofilm model was established using pseudomonas aeruginosa, and soaked with No. 1 multi-enzyme detergent, No. 2 multi-enzyme detergent, and biofilm cleaning agent respectively. The control group was cleaned with sterile water. After 5, 10, and 15 minutes at room temperature, the cleaning effects were evaluated by bacteria counting method and scanning electron microscope. Arova was used for the comparison of viable counts among groups.@*Results@#At 5, 10, and 15 minutes of soak, the standard colony counts (CFU/cm2) of biofilm was 5.31±0.10, 5.04±0.08 and 4.90±0.16 in the No.1 multi-enzyme detergent group, 5.53±0.30, 5.39±0.21 and 5.03±0.42 in the No.2 multi-enzyme detergent group, and 3.53±0.30, 3.01±0.07 and 2.82±0.26 in the biofilm cleaning agent group, and 7.92±0.21 in the blank control group. There was no significant difference in the colony counts between the two multi-enzyme detergent groups (P>0.05). However, the colony counts of biofilm cleaning agent group was less than that of the two multi-enzyme detergent groups (P<0.05), and decreased with time (P<0.05). Under scanning electron microscope, the biofilm cleaning agent group had the least residual biofilm and bacteria.@*Conclusion@#Biofilm cleaning agent can significantly improve the quality of endoscopic cleaning, and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To compare the effect of alkaline and neutral multi-enzyme cleanser cleaning and reuse of bone through the needle. Methods 200 pollution recycling reusable bone needle, were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was washed with neutral multienzyme detergent, the ratio was 1/270. The experimental group was cleaned by alkaline multienzyme detergent, with a ratio of 1/270. A comparative analysis of the surface cleaning of the experimental group and control group, the qualified rate of strip inspection pass rate and needle cavity wall cleaning qualified rate and other indicators. Results After cleaning with different cleaning agents, the number of qualified surface cleaning of the experimental group was 98 pieces, and the number of qualified surface cleaning of the control group was 97 pieces, he qualified rate of the surface cleaning of the experimental group and the control group was 98.0% and 97.0%, and there was no statistical difference. In the experimental group, the number of the cleaning of the needle cavity wall was 96, and the number of qualified cleaning of the needle cavity wall was 88. In the control group, the qualified rate of the cleaning of the needle cavity wall was 88.0%, significantly lower than that of the experimental group, and the qualified rate of cleaning was 96.0%, which was statistically significant (P<0.05). The experimental group strip inspection pass rate of 95.0%was significantly higher than the control group of qualified rate was 86.0%, with statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Alkaline multi enzyme cleaning agent compared with neutral multi enzyme cleaning agent, reusable bone needle cleaning effect is more ideal, to ensure the cleaning and sterilization quality, improve the service life.

Efficacy of various cleaning solutions on saliva-contaminated zirconia for improved resin bonding

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of cleaning solutions on saliva-contaminated zirconia in comparison to air-abrasion in terms of resin bonding. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For saliva-contaminated airabraded zirconia, seven cleaning methods)-no contamination (NC), water-spray rinsing (WS), additional airabrasion (AA), and cleaning with four solutions (Ivoclean [IC]; 1.0 wt% sodium dodecyl sulfate [SDS], 1.0 wt% hydrogen peroxide [HP], and 1.0 wt% sodium hypochlorite [SHC])-were tested. The zirconia surfaces for each group were characterized using various analytical techniques. Three bonded resin (Panavia F 2.0) cylinders (bonding area: 4.5 mm2) were made on one zirconia disk specimen using the Ultradent jig method [four disks (12 cylinders)/group; a total of 28 disks]. After 5,000 thermocycling, all specimens were subjected to a shear bond strength test with a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/minute. The fractured surfaces were observed using an optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM). RESULTS: Contact angle measurements showed that groups NC, AA, IC, and SHC had hydrophilic surfaces. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed similar elemental distributions between group AA and groups IC and SHC. Groups IC and SHC showed statistically similar bond strengths to groups NC and AA (P>.05), but not groups SDS and HP (P<.05). For groups WS, SDS, and HP, blister-like bubble formations were observed on the surfaces under SEM. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, some of the cleaning solutions (IC or SHC) were effective in removing saliva contamination and enhancing the resin bond strength.
