Fix this textRelief in sight for
Fix this textdyspepsia sufferers
Fix this textThe management and preven-
Fix this texttion of stomach ailments associated
Fix this textwith ulcers is well on the way now
Fix this textthat a UNSW-St Vincent’s Hospital
Fix this textteam has discovered how the organ-
Fix this textism causing dyspepsia actually
Fix this textworks.
Fix this textAssociate Professor Adrian Lee
Fix this textand postgraduate scholar, Stuart
Fix this textHazell, from UNSW’s School of
Fix this textMicrobiology, together with St
Fix this textVincent’s gastroenterologists, Dr
Fix this textTom Barody and Dr William
Fix this textHennessy, began their research in
Fix this text1983 shortly after Australian clin-
Fix this textician, Dr Barry Marshall, success-
Fix this textfully identified the organism
Fix this textCampylobacter pyloridis as the
Fix this textcause of gastritis.
Fix this textA report by Hazell and Lee,
Fix this textrecently published in The Lancet,
Fix this textsuggests how the spiral-shaped
Fix this textbacterium goes about producing all
Fix this textthat gas, pain, nausea and vomiting
Fix this textfrom which thousands seek daily
Fix this textrelief in stomach powders.
Fix this textCampylobacter pyloridis lives
Fix this textclose to the stomach lining, par-
Fix this textticularly that area where acid is
Fix this textsecreted and where urea, one of
Fix this textits growth requirements, is avail-
Fix this textable.
Fix this textThe bacterium manufactures
Fix this texthigh concentrations of a substance
Fix this textthat breaks down urea the main
Fix this textwaste product of protein in the
Fix this textbody and produces ammonia.
Fix this textThis causes further changes in
Fix this textthe ‘colonized area’ and these
Fix this textprevent hydrogen ions, the main
Fix this textcomponent of stomach acid, from
Fix this textpassing up to the stomach. Instead
Fix this textthey turn back into the cells and
Fix this texttissues whence they came, ulti-
Fix this textmately giving rise to an ulcer.
Fix this textThe most persuasive aspect of
Fix this textthe Hazell and Lee hypothesis is
Fix this textthat it integrates earlier, and until
Fix this textnow unreconciled, observations of
Fix this textgastritic and normal stomachs. It
Fix this textexplains why acid levels drop rather
Fix this textthan rise in ulcerated stomachs,
Fix this textaccounts for the high level of
Fix this textammonia in gastritic tissue and
Fix this textsuggests how gastritis may be the
Fix this textprecursor of an ulcer.
Fix this textIf the hypothesis is verified
Fix this text(the research team is testing it
Fix this textnow) the way will be open to assail
Fix this textCampylobacter pyloridis with anti-
Fix this textbiotics and other weaponry.
Fix this textDr Barody has recently used
Fix this textantibiotics and bismuth compounds
Fix this textto treat successfully a number of
Fix this textpeople who have suffered from
Fix this textdyspepsia for many years.
Fix this text‘What remains now,’ says
Fix this textProfessor Lee, ‘is to find out where
Fix this textthe organism comes from, what
Fix this textgroups of people commonly
Fix this textharbour it and how to prevent it
Fix this textfrom getting into stomach tissues.’
Fix this textBecause Campylobacter pylor-
Fix this textidis normally lives in the intestinal
Fix this textmucus it may enter the body by the
Fix this textfecal-oral route or through contact
Fix this textwith another animal species.
Fix this textGrants from the National
Fix this textHealth and Medical Research Coun-
Fix this textcil totalling $41,000 are enabling
Fix this textLee and his colleagues to con-
Fix this texttinue their research.
Fix this textDyspepsia sufferers can take
Fix this textheart. Relief is in sight!
Fix this textEverything you wanted to know about UNIKEN...
Fix this textIf you have just joined the UNSW community as a student or member of staff this will be the first UNI KEN you have
Fix this textseen. For older hands this is the first UNIKEN since 1985 (publication was suspended in 1986 because of a shortage
Fix this textof staff). Here are a few points about us:
Fix this text• UNIKEN is published fortnightly by the Public Affairs Unit (PAU).
Fix this text• UNIKEN is your newspaper -we try to reflect all aspects of life and work at UNSW and depend largely on you to
Fix this textgive us items of news, sporting items, contributed articles and your own pictures of academic and general interest;
Fix this textyou can visit us in Room 159, The Chancellery or ring us on ext 2866 (from outside the campus - 697 2866).
Fix this text• Copies of UNIKEN are distributed in bulk to all work units and to boxes throughout the campus -if you have
Fix this textany difficulty in getting your copy regularly, please let us know and we shall adjust the distribution system.
Fix this text• If you want others to know of an event you are organizing, please submit an entry for the Diary column (see
Fix this textpage 6; forms available from the PAU).
Fix this text• Classified advertisements are available free to members of the University for personal requirements (see page 6).
Fix this text• Letters to the Editor are welcome (see guidelines on page 7).
Fix this text• Deadlines for submission of copy have been published for the full year in the Public Affairs Planner 1987 obtain-
Fix this textable from the PAU; the deadline for the next issue is published on the Diary page (in this issue, page 6).

Fix this textAggregate calculation
Fix this textchange sees
Fix this textcut-off marks soar
Fix this textAggregate marks required by
Fix this textstudents to get into UNSW this year
Fix this textappeared to have risen sharply but
Fix this textthis is mainly the result of a change
Fix this textin calculating aggregates.
Fix this textThe process of making offers
Fix this textof places in first year undergraduate
Fix this textcourses has now been completed
Fix this textand the University is confident it
Fix this textwill reach its target of 3,293 new
Fix this textfirst year students in 1987.
Fix this textFor 1987 admissions, the Uni-
Fix this textversity calculated a matriculation
Fix this textand selection aggregate for appli-
Fix this textcants who had completed the 1986
Fix this textNSW Higher School Certificate
Fix this textwhich, unlike previous years, used
Fix this textunsealed marks provided by the
Fix this textBoard of Senior School Studies.
Fix this textBecause of the change in the
Fix this textstatistical ‘mean’ marks from 50 to
Fix this text60 used by the Board for standard-
Fix this textising 2 unit courses, aggregates for
Fix this textmost applicants were higher than
Fix this textthose for comparable students in
Fix this textprevious yea r s.
Fix this text‘As a result, cut-offs for all
Fix this textcourses appeared to rise consider-
Fix this textably’, according to Senior Deputy
Fix this textRegistrar, Mr John Fitzgerald.
Fix this textHowever, he emphasized that
Fix this textwhile a number of courses did show
Fix this texta marked increase in cut-offs in
Fix this textreal terms, most had a cut-off very
Fix this textsimilar to that for previous years
Fix this textwhen the change in calculating
Fix this textaggregates was taken into account
Fix this text(see table).
Fix this textThe highest cut-off marks were
Fix this textfor Medicine (436) and Law full-
Fix this texttime (433), while the lowest cut-off
Fix this textmarks were for Applied Science
Fix this text(excluding Chemical Engineering)
Fix this textand Surveying both with 346
Fix this textmarks.
Fix this textThis year saw the first students
Fix this textbeing admitted under the Univer-
Fix this textsity’s special scheme for the entry
Fix this textof educationally disadvantaged
Fix this textstudents the ACCESS Scheme.
Fix this textMr Fitzgerald says of the 222
Fix this textapplicants deemed eligible under
Fix this textACCESS, 114 matriculated and
Fix this texttherefore were considered for selec-
Fix this texttion. Of these 52 received offers
Fix this textunder the concessional provisions
Fix this textand a further 21 received offers in
Fix this texttheir own right, having achieved the
Fix this textnecessary aggregates to enter the
Fix this textcourse of their choice.
Fix this textHe says all 73 such students are
Fix this texteligible to make use of the special
Fix this textsupport provisions which will be
Fix this textimplemented for them during their
Fix this textfirst year studies.

Fix this textbacteria (Campylobacter pyloridis).
Fix this textAssociate Professor Adrian Lee (left) and doctoral student, Stuart Hazell,
Fix this textfrom the School of Microbiology, perform a biopsy urease test. A patient's
Fix this textbiopsy is placed in a microtitre tray containing urea solution. If the biopsy
Fix this textturns red it shows that a patient is infected with Campylobacter pyloridis.
Fix this textThis diagnostic test is now being used at St Vincent's Hospital.
