I thought the log must be in the form of log(base)Value? This term, I always got it from medicine/biology paper that, they express the value as 3log10 (where 10 is the subscript). That is the log of base 10 without a value.
I always assume 3log10=1000. But don't know how to explain it.
By the way, I always see they wrote something like the blood contains 3log10 of substances., or 2.4-log10. etc
Thanks.

Probably just a notation to show orders of magnitude. I.e. 2log10 is 10x smaller than 3log10. So I think your interpretation is correct, 3log10 refers to 1000. Weird notation though.

3log10
Oh I see.
The 3 means the power 3 of the no-value.
