BACKGROUND: In retrospective studies relating body weight to disease, the source of information on the Past body weight and height is often based on recall. Several studies examined the accuracy of recalled body weight and height, and factors that might affect the accuracy of recall but data on the accuracy of the recalled weight and height are scare. This study examined the eccuracy of recalled body weight and height, over a 5year period. METHODS: Participants was two hundred and two men and women visiting Health Promotion Center of medical colleage hospital, from 1th Jan. to 30th Jun.1996. We compared of measured weight and height with recalled weight and height 6year later and examined of the influence of sex, occupation, education, chronic disease on recall. RESULTS: When we defined recall error as measured body weight and height minus recalled body weight and height, the mean of weight errors were 0.02 +/-3.22 kg, and the measured body weight was significantly correlated with recalled body weight (r = 0.96). The mean of height errors were -0.80 1.95 cm, the correlation was 0.97. Weight errors were negatively correlated to weight gain over 5year period (r= -0.49). The accuracy of recall was not influenced by sex, education, occupation, chronic disease. CONCLUSION: Middle aged men and women recalled their previous 6year weight and height well in this study. The recalled past body weight and height are feasible information in retrospective study relating body weight to disease.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine oral health literacy (OHL) in mothers and the factors that influence it. Methods: A total of 431 mothers of preschool children were chosen as study participants using the convenience sampling method. A self-administered questionnaire was used in this study. The survey contents included the socioeconomic characteristics of the participants as well as their level of oral health literacy. Results: In total, 44.8 percent of the participants had a low level of verbal oral health literacy (0-6 grade), and 16.9 percent had a low functional oral health literacy (≤6). Educational level and family income were significantly associated with the participants’ oral health literacy (Pearson correlation). Verbal oral health literacy of the participants was related to their family’s income, whereas their functional oral health literacy was related to their educational level. Conclusions Many of the participants had a low level of oral health literacy. For mothers, to improve their oral health literacy, an oral health literacy program must be in place. Oral health literacy programs should be targeted toward mothers with low socioeconomic status.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of microwave (MW) power and antenna approach methods on extrahepatic tumor seeding and ablation zone size using an ex vivo subcapsular tumor-mimic model. Materials and Methods: Forty-one subcapsular tumor mimics were prepared by injecting a mixture of contrast media into bovine liver blocks. Ablation was performed using low- and high-power protocols (75 W and 100 W for 4 and 3 minutes, respectively). The antenna approach was assessed in two directions: parallel and perpendicular to the capsule. CT scans were obtained before and after the ablation to detect contrast leakage on the hepatic surface. The presence of leakage, ablation zone size, and the timing of the first popping sound were compared between the two groups. Results: Five cases of contrast leakage were observed in the low-power group (n = 21) and 17 in the high-power group (n = 20) (23.8% vs. 85.0%, P < 0.001). Contrast leaks were less frequently observed in the low-power protocol compared to the high-power protocol, regardless of the antenna approach (18.2% [2/11] vs. 80.0% [8/10], P = 0.009 for parallel access;30.0% [3/10] vs. 90.0% [9/10], P = 0.020 for perpendicular access). The timing of the first popping sound was significantly delayed in the low-power group compared to the high-power group (137.7 ± 51.4 s vs. 77.8 ± 31.4 s, P < 0.001). The size of the ablation zone did not differ significantly between the two power groups (P = 0.415). The parallel and perpendicular antenna approaches did not show significant differences in the number of contrast leaks, popping sound timing, or ablationzone size (P = 0.536, 0.463, and 0.271, respectively). Conclusion Low-power MW ablation may be superior to a high-power protocol in reducing the risk of tumor seeding in subcapsular tumors, regardless of the antenna approach.
