ABstrACts mWCnts on OVA-asthma model were analyzed by airway hyperreactivity (AHr) measurement, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAlF) analysis, intracellular rOs production and histological analysis in lung tissue. Results: intranasally administrated-mWCnts easily loaded in alveolar macrophage, but did not result in significant lung inflammation and intracellular rOs production of the OVA-induced asthma model. in histological analysis, mWCnts exacerbated collagen deposition within the lung parenchyma of naïve mice and pre-existing allergic mice. Conclusion: these results suggest that combined OVA sensitization and mWCnts administration did not affected pre-existing allergic, but increased collagen deposition in lung parenchyma. 1111 PollEn CoUnTS ProFilE in gEorgia EValUaTED BY THE BUrKHarD PollEn TraP Chikhladze, m. V. 1 and sepiashvili, r. i. 2 1 2 national institute of Allergology, Asthma & Clinical immunology, georgian Academy of sciences, tskhaltubo, georgia. Department of Allergology and Clinical immunology, institute of immunophysiology, moscow, russia. Aim and Methodology: the pollen counts in georgia were studied in 2006-2009 using the vacuum Burkhard Pollen trap (great Britain) donated by the <strong>World</strong> <strong>Allergy</strong> <strong>Organization</strong> (WAO) to the national institute of Allergology, Asthma and Clinical immunology in tskhaltubo (georgia). the dependence of allergic diseases prevalence on the geographic location and some other factors (air temperature, humidity, height above the sea level, spectrum of regional plants) were also studied. Results: it was stated that allergy to mold fungi and other bacteria more often occurred in the areas with high humidity and the morbidity level with hay fever and bronchial asthma was much higher than in dry areas. in cities situated on the Black sea (Batumi, Kobuleti, Poti), ragweed is widely distributed, which in the period of blossom caused numerous allergic diseases (allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, urticaria etc.). When ragweed blossom, the quantity of pollen in the air is extremely high and as it is a strong allergen it causes exacerbation and allergic disease in people sensitized to ragweed pollen. the highest percentage of allergy morbidity fall at plants allergens caused by pollen of numerous weeds and plants (pollen of ragweed, alder, birch, maple, walnut, mallow, cotton-plant etc.). in different areas of georgia people are more sensitive to various plants. in imeretia region, it is ragweed pollen, in Kakhetia and Kartli – platan and wheat. graphic chart of hay fever and bronchial asthma morbidity as a rule have two peaks – spring–summer and autumn–winter. it is the season of plants blossom and the quantity of pollen in the air is most high. Conclusion: the pollen counts obtained using the Burkhard Pollen trap allowed us to make a pollen calendar for different regions of georgia thus enabling to perform treatment and prophylactic measures in advance. 1112 air PUriFiEr THaT USES PHoTo CaTalYTiC oXiDaTion rEDUCED THE PoPUlaTion oF mrSa ghosh, n. 1 , Pratt, C. 1 , Bennert, J. 2 , Chudasama, J. 2 and Das, A.

Dept. of Agricultural Biotechnology, College of Agriculture, Orissa University of Agriculture & technology, india. the air surrounding us plays an extremely important role in our well being and efficiency. Breathing pure and clean air allows us to think more clearly, sleep more soundly, and stay healthier. studies show that we receive 56% of our energy from the air we breathe, more than from water and food combined. On average we breathe 37 pounds of air a day. the quality of the environment within buildings is a topic of major importance for public health and indoor Air Quality (iAQ) is a major concern at work places. the objective of the present study was to assess two negative ion purifiers - Xtreme 3000 and luna induct air purifiers on the net reduction of bacteria in the microbiology and mycology laboratories of Baptist saint Anthony’s Hospital (BsA) in Amarillo, texas and the specific effect on methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, mrsA. mrsA has become a serious public health issue. luna induct air units use an advanced hydrated Photo-Catalytic Oxidation (PCO) filtration system. it produces a broad spectrum high intensity UV light targeted on a quad metallic catalyst in a low-level ozone and moist atmosphere. Bacteria isolated from petri plates exposed to the room air were gram positive bacilli such as Bacillus, Coryneform (diptheroids), coagulase negative Staphylococcus and Micrococcus spp., and encapsulated gram negative bacilli. in every case there was reduction in airborne pathogen with variable room sizes when the air purifiers were used. tsA plates with 5% sheep blood were placed for exposure rooms at different distances and intervals. Plates were evaluated for the total number of bacterial and fungal colonies at intervals of 24, 48, 72 and 120 hours. We plated the mrsA strains from the stock culture after dilution 10-4 to investigate the effect of air-purifiers on the production of number of colonies of mrsA. tsA plates were inoculated with the strain after serial dilutions as follows. 5 ml of stock culture was diluted to 10-4 after incubation at 37o C for 24 hours and were plated onto tsA petri plates. ‘t-test’ results show that there was a significant difference in the air purifier treated sets and a gradual reduction in the number of colonies. the reduction of latent bacteria in the air could possibly reduce the transmission of airborne disease. www.worldallergy.org 83 FinAl PrOgrAm ABstrACts
