Although the incidence of gastric cancer in Dominican Republic is not high, disease remains a significant health problem. We first conducted detailed analysis Helicobacter pylori status Republic. In total, 158 patients (103 females and 55 males; mean age 47.1±16.2 years) were recruited. The H. infection was determined based on four tests: rapid urease test, culture histological test immunohistochemistry. cagA vacA genotypes examined using PCR gene sequencing. overall prevalence 58.9 %. No...
Dietary nitrate is reduced to nitrite and nitric oxide by microbial flora, this activity beneficial vascular health. It has been reported that bacterial process inhibited chlorhexidine mouthwash, although the effects of other products are largely unknown. This study examined several treatments on salivary nitrate/nitrite nitrate-reducing bacteria. Twelve university staff students performed mouth-washing with water (control), essential oil, 0.35% povidone-iodine, or 0.0025% then ate 100 g...
Dietary nitrate has several beneficial effects, including blood pressure reduction and improved oxygen consumption efficiency, but in order to do so it must first be reduced nitrite by oral bacteria. Veillonella spp., a strictly anaerobic group, are the most prevalent nitrate-reducing bacteria cavity. In response some early studies that have hinted at inter- intra-individual variation salivary nitrate-nitrite conversion capacity, purpose of present study was investigate incidence species V....
Abstract Aim To determine whether there are differences in small bowel bacterial overgrowth (SBBO) and rice digestion between healthy disabled older adults to estimate the influence of physical activity on these nutritional statuses. Method Fifteen who commute a day‐care centre 11 participated this study. SBBO absorption were judged using breath hydrogen test. Physical was estimated pedometer. Results The average number steps taken per day by 1056 ± 243, which statistically lower than that...
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is commonly used to measure the percentage of body fat (%BF), but its accuracy controversial. In addition, equations are specific group for which they were established. As far as we know, there no study examining BIA in Japanese middle-aged and older people. We compared %BF assessed using with that dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) 102 female 51 male local residents aged 40 78 y. Simple correlation coefficients 0.79 females 0.69 males,...
Obese people may succeed in reducing their weight temporarily, but most of them regain the lost within a few years. We, therefore, recommend moderate long-term changes habit rather than strict temporary program. The purpose this study was to examine whether physical activity 40 minutes, mainly walking, effective improving or preventing metabolic syndrome when combined with dieting. Participants, all whom had waist circumference ≥ 85 cm (men) 90 (women), were assigned into one two groups:...
The antibacterial effects of salivary nitrate/nitrite on the growth three Desulfovibrio species were examined. bacteria did not grow plates with ≥0.2 mm nitrate or ≥1.0 nitrite. They also incubated in filter-sterilized saliva. D. desulfuricans was reduced order >102 compared control solution (phosphate-buffered saline) nine out 10 participants.
Nutrition knowledge has been reported to have a weak positive effect on healthy eating behavior. This study aimed determine if there was difference in nutrition depending the choice of science subject high school and whether that affected actual habits college students Japan.The subjects were 514 students, majority first-year 3 cities Japan. A questionnaire survey conducted elective school, diet (11 items), lifestyle (5 (34 questions). The preliminary 47 fall 2019, full-scale May-June...
