The aim of this study was to identify the effect of Dongchimi juice containing kimchi Lactobacillus as an oral hygiene agent and to compare it with that of chlorhexidine solution (0.12% dilution).
This study employed a pretest-posttest experimental design in which a single group of patients was exposed to two different treatments over a period of time. The study included 32 patients hospitalized at a long-term care hospital in Korea. Data were collected between August 12, 2016 and September 28, 2016. The patients first used chlorhexidine solution as an oral care agent for 1 week. After an interval of 2 weeks, they used Dongchimi juice for 1 week. Each agent was applied 2 times a day depending on the protocol. The oral status of the patients was measured using Beck's Oral Exam Guide (OEG) scores. The number of pathogens in the oral cavity was counted by culture, and the patients' subjective satisfaction score for each oral agent was measured using a visual analogue scale. T-test and Mann-Whitney test were performed to identify significant differences between Dongchimi juice and chlorhexidine solution by using PASW Statistics for Windows, Version 18.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
The OEG score was not statistically different with the use of chlorhexidine solution and Dongchimi juice. However, decreasing number of pathogens and the subjective satisfaction score were higher with Dongchimi juice than with the chlorhexidine solution.
These findings support the use of Dongchimi juice containing kimchi Lactobacillus as an oral hygiene agent for Korean patients.
本研究旨在确定含有泡菜乳酸菌的东奇米汁作为口腔卫生剂的效果，并将其与洗必泰溶液（0.12%稀释液）进行比较。
本研究采用前测-后测实验设计，一组患者在一段时间内接受两种不同的治疗。该研究纳入了32名在韩国一家长期护理医院住院的患者。数据收集于2016年8月12日至2016年9月28日之间。患者首先使用洗必泰溶液作为口腔护理剂1周。间隔2周后，他们使用东奇米汁1周。每种药剂根据方案每天使用2次。使用贝克口腔检查指南（OEG）评分来测量患者的口腔状况。通过培养来计算口腔中的病原体数量，并使用视觉模拟量表来测量患者对每种口腔药剂的主观满意度评分。使用适用于Windows的PASW Statistics 18.0版（美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥市SPSS公司）进行t检验和曼-惠特尼检验，以确定东奇米汁和洗必泰溶液之间的显著差异。
使用洗必泰溶液和东奇米汁时，OEG评分在统计学上没有差异。然而，与洗必泰溶液相比，东奇米汁使病原体数量减少，主观满意度评分更高。
这些发现支持将含有泡菜乳酸菌的东奇米汁用作韩国患者的口腔卫生剂。
