Abstract
플라즈마 활성수(PAW)는 플라즈마에서 발생하는 이온 및 라디칼을 물과 반응시킴으로써 물속에 다양한 활성종이 포함되도록 한 기능성 물이다. 본 연구에서 사용되는 방법은 질염(의심) 환자에서 PAW를 질벽 주름에 분사하고 도포하여 질염 원인균을 세정 후 바로 흡입하여 제거할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 임상연구에서는 질염(의심) 환자 총 94명을 대상으로 무작위 배정 후 베타딘 처치와 PAW 분사법을 적용하였으며, 세정 효과는 세정 전과 후의 질 분비물을 이용하여 12종 STD PCR을 수행하였으며, 세정 전 STD PCR 결과가 음성인 피험자를 제외한 대조군(베타딘 처치) 40명과 시험군(PAW 분사) 46명의 결과를 분석하였다. 베타딘 처리군에서는 베타딘 처리 전 PCR 양성 환자가 처리 후에도 모두 양성으로 재확인되어 처치효과가 나타나지 않았으나, PAW 분사군에서는 세정 전과 후의 유의적인 감소율을 보였는데, 그 중에도 Mycoplasma hominis의 경우 세정효과가 30±15.28%, Ureaplasma urealyticum은 25±9.93%, Ureaplasma parvum은 23±8.42%(P<0.001), Candida albicans은 28±10.86%로 각각 나타났다. 그러므로 PAW를 이용한 세정만으로도 질염 원인균을 세정하는데 효과가 있음을 보여주었으므로 PAW 분사 세정방법은 화학적 소독제 및 항생제, 항진균제의 새로운 대안으로 임상적 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.
Plasma-activated water (PAW) is functional water in which various ionized gases and free radicals that originated primarily from oxygen and nitrogen gases in the air and water. In this study, PAW was applied by spraying the vaginal wall of vaginitis (suspected) patients, and the vaginal cleansing effect of PAW was evaluated by the sterilization effect on various vaginitis-causing microorganisms. In this clinical study, a total of 94 vaginitis (suspected) patients were randomly assigned, and the vaginal cleansing effect was compared and evaluated by applying betadine treatment (control) and PAW spray method. Vaginal secretions were collected before and after cleansing, and the cleansing effect of infectious microorganisms was evaluated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for 12 types of vaginitis causative microorganisms (STD). PCR results for infectious microorganisms were compared and analyzed for betadine (control, n=40) and PAW groups (experimental, n=46), excluding subjects with negative STD PCR results before washing. In the case of the control group, PCR-positive patients before betadine treatment were all positive after treatment, and no treatment effect was observed. However, in the experimental group, a significant decrease was observed after treatment compared to before treatment, with Mycoplasma hominis 30±15.28%, Ureaplasma urealyticum 25±9.93%, Ureaplasma parvum 23±8.42%, and Candida albicans 28±10.86%. Also, through comparison between the two groups, it was confirmed that PAW had a better cleansing effect than betadine. Therefore, spray treatment using PAW is expected to be clinically applied to vaginal cleaning of patients with suspected vaginitis as a new alternative to chemical disinfectants, antibiotics, and antifungals.
