As long as the Vio LEDs used for space station sterilization are irradiated for 5 minutes, 99.9% of the hepatitis C bactericidal effect can be achieved.
Hepatitis C is a contagious and incurable disease, and this finding is an effective control method to prevent and prevent infection.
Various disinfection applications are currently being understood, such as home sterilizers, sterilization equipment for stethoscopes, medical equipment, brushes, and the like.
Currently, it is receiving cross-border assistance from Saudi Arabia and is conducting research on the disinfection effect of MERS virus.
UV Â LED (UV) solutions company Viosys announced that they have provided the space station's disinfection technology Violeds to a research center in Korea for hepatitis C research. The researchers (NRL) found that 99.9% of hepatitis C is irradiated for 5 minutes. After that, all were killed.
A recent outbreak of hepatitis C in a hospital in South Korea has also led to the hope that researchers' findings can improve the situation. I hope that I can start with the items that the most basic disinfection patients and medical staff will come into contact with, such as dental equipment, blood collection syringes, scalpels, scissors and operating beds, as well as medical tables and patients. The bed and syringe can effectively kill the hepatitis C virus.
Hepatitis can be divided into five types according to the type of virus, that is, hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Hepatitis C is transmitted through blood, body fluids, sexual behavior or the use of contaminated medical equipment. Infected people will develop chronic hepatitis, and there is currently no effective vaccine to prevent hepatitis C.
The biggest contribution of this research led by Professor Soon-bong Hwang is the use of Violeds to eliminate the hepatitis C virus. In contrast, the raw materials used in UV mercury lamps actually form a source of pollution, and such mercury lamps are usually bulky and occupy a large space. Needless to say, the heat dissipation problem of the mercury lamp has yet to be resolved. Violeds' high efficiency, light weight and long life make this technology a tiny medical device.
The Viosys project in Seoul will work with Hanlin University's research team to spread the technology globally to prevent cross-infection of hepatitis C.
Violeds technology is not only used for hepatitis C, but also for the method of killing the MERS virus. Nobel Prize winner Nakamura Shuji, a consultant at Viosys UV LED in Seoul, said that he was commissioned by the Saudi Arabian government to conduct research to eliminate the MERS virus.
Professor Soon-Bong Hwang, the authoritative authority for life science research at Hanlin University in South Korea, said: "Violeds can eliminate 99.9% of hepatitis C virus. We hope that this technology can be universally applied to the clinic and reduce the spread of infectious diseases. I also hope that. This technology can be extended into daily life, becoming a popular public disinfection technology and a useful tool in various medical fields."
And Gihoon Lee, vice president of Viosys in Seoul, proposed that in South Korea, it would be difficult for SMEs to conduct research and commercialize a technology. After a decade of research and development, we hope that the government can commercialize beneficial technologies. Be more active and provide substantial help to enable technology to directly benefit the people. â€
In addition, he also said that Seoul Viosys will continue to develop and hope to contribute to human health, such as continuing to use Violeds to eliminate Ebola and MERS viruses.
