The severity of infection was assessed according to the bacterial density under high power microscopic fields (Gram's stain). Grade 0 indicated no bacterium seen; grade 1, only 1 to 10 bacteria at all fields; grade 2, 1 to 3 bacteria in each high power field; and grade 3 was 4 bacteria or more on average in each high power field. The degree of inflammatory response was evaluated by inflammatory cell infiltration (H & E stain) and classified into grade 0, 1 and 2, which indicated the inflammatory cell infiltration below 50%, between 50% and 75%, and above 75%, respectively. There are no positive relationships among urease test reaction time, bacterial density grading and degrees of inflammatory cell infiltration. Clinically, the reaction time of urease test cannot reflect the severity of H. pylori infection semi-quantitatively, either in terms of bacterial density or cellular inflammatory response.","PeriodicalId":12495,"journal":{"name":"Gaoxiong yi xue ke xue za zhi = The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19533107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There was no significant difference in drinking behavior between the two groups. Beer was the most popular drink in adolescents' drinking habits. The most popular motivation of drinking was the peer pressure by friends.

Three types of lifting (i.e., arm, back, and leg lifting) were measured in a sample of 104 college students aged between 18 and 26 years. A Force Evaluation and Testing System (FET 5000) was used for strength measurements with three standard lifting positions. The average of three trials for each lifting strength test was used as the subject's test score. The results showed that the highest mean lifting strength was recorded for leg lifting in both males and females. Both groups also had the lowest score in arm lifting. Of the total sample, there was a difference of strength of nearly three- times between leg and arm lifting. Males were stronger than females in all lifting patterns. In addition, lifting strengths were significantly affected by such variables as sex, weight and height. Body weight was an effective predictor of arm lifting strength, and height an effective predictor of leg lifting strength. Finally, we found that strength in one position had positive relations with strength in other positions. These findings and the establishment of data base can in future provide therapists with an objective evaluation regarding lifting strength of individuals for clinical use.","PeriodicalId":12495,"journal":{"name":"Gaoxiong yi xue ke xue za zhi = The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19531060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
