For the first time, the natural specimens of Abalone Oyster mushroom Pleurotus pulmonarius (Fr.) Quel. were collected and comparatively identified in Central Highland, South Vietnam. Pure isolation and fruitful cultivation of this mushroom were conducted for preservation of fungal gene resources and supply of precious foods and pharmaceutical material

The mycelia obtained from somatic tissues (basidiocarps) and basidiospores were irradiated with gama rays from 60Co - source and +5C from synchrotron AVF. The LG50 doses were determined >=100 Krad and =50 Krad, respectively. The fruitful cultivations from fragmenting inoculate were carried out for screening and selections of new mutants with high yields and rich in bioactive substances.

Since Government have been defined the economy of Vietnam is commodity economy with multicomponent under management of Government. The pharmaceutical Branch have been had a firm advance that responded the requisition about drug in task of protection and care of people's health. The attainment such results is to have the great contribution of private pharmaceutical practice system. We hope that the pharmaceutical will have soon a summation about this problem to infer strengths and weaknesses, and valuable lessons, helping the private pharmaceutical practice more and more completely

The reasonable pepsin + papain mix was studied. The results showed that the proteolytic activity of the mix at 3 areas pH: 20.5, 41 and 70.5 and temperature 38O2 was compared with either agent alone in the same conditions. These mixes will be improved and applied to the treatment of malnutrition in children

Amitriptylin hydrochloride is used as the internal standard in place of desipramine hydrochloride to determine the amount of imipramine hydrochloride by HPLC method. Results: Amitriptylin have the same structure as imipramin and the resolution degree between amitriptylin and imipramin is 1.8 while resolution degree between iminodibenzyl and imipramin is very high (R=10.7) because molecule structure of iminodibenzyl do not have branch-circuit. The suitability of chromatographic system through coefficient got high stable results with RSD<1.0%. Amitryptilin hydrochloride can be used as the internal standard in place of desipramine hydrochloride if necessary to test splitting degree in determination of imipramine hydrochloride

410 medical records (201 of which at district hospitals and 209 at commune health stations) were studied. Results: the rate of correct diagnosis of clinical malaria at district level was 69.6%, the rate of incorrect diagnosis was still high (30.4%). Among mistakes of clinical diagnosis, the most common is that blood culturing for P.falciparum was done once only, did not have the blood culturing before treatment, did not have exclusion of other reasons caused fever. Mistakes of dosage and duration of treatment course were 10.9% and 18.9%, respectively. The regimen of artesunat tablet had the highest incorrect rate (13.4%). The drug combination rate was 58.8% of patients with positive serum P.falciparum and in 11.4% of patients with clinical malaria. There were 35.3% of the cases used antibiotics (most of them were beta-lactam) in combination with antimalarial drugs in the patients with positive serum P.falciparum, the rate was 47.8% in the patients with clinical malaria
