In this study, the extracts of four traditional herbs of ViÖt Nam (Hydrangea macrophylla, Eucommia ulmoides Olive, Scrophularia burianna Mig, Morinda ciuifolia L.) have been assessed for the hypoglycemic effect on normal mice. These extracts were administered by intraperitoneal or oral routes with dose of 200 - 300mg/kg, and 1000 - 1500mg/kg respectively. No evident hypoglycemic effect was showed with all extracts of these herbs

The methanol extract from rhizomes of Smilax glabra Roxb - Smilacaceae reduced the blood glucose of normal mice. The maximal hypoglycemic effect was about 36% with the dose of 100mg/kg-body weight per intraperitoneal route, and about 56% with 200 mg/kg/ip. The oral administration of 200 mg/kg body weight doesn't decrease yet the blood glucose. The LD50 per oral route in mice is 2500 mg/kg body weight

The hypoglycemic effect of rhizomes of SG was investigated in the previous publication in normal mice. This study attempts to explain its mechanism of action. The streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice (STZ 300 mg/kg/ip) one of the model of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) with hypoinsulinemia, either the methanol extract of rhizomes of SG Roxb - Smilacaceae or the tolbutamid did not affect the blood sugar. However, while tolbutamid couldn't decrease epinephrine - induced hyperglycemia in mice, SG partially suppressed this one. From these results, it is suggested that SG reduce the blood sugar by an extra - pancreas mechanism

The authors present 31 cases of subdural hematoma from 2/1991 to 8/1996 at surgical department in Frienship Hospital. Ages are from 51 to 82 years old, treatment is surgical. The results are good in 26 cases (84%) nerve sequelae in 4 cases (10%), mortality in 2 cases (6%). Early diagnosis is a favorable prognostic factor.

This paper introduced some epidemiological features of suicide, the risk factors of commit suicide such as mental disorder, personality disorder, physical lesion and social and environmental factors. This paper also introduced the strategy for prevention and control of commit suicide to reduce the morbidity and mortality rate of suicide.

In total, 511 Vietnamese patients (515 commit suicide events) admitted during the period from January 1, 1999 to April 30, 2001 were included in the study. The results shown that: nearly a half (48.7%) of the patients was in the age group of 15-24 years old. The female to male ratio of the patients living in the urban area (2.1:1) is higher than that in the rural area (1.2:1) with p<0.01. Among the patients: farmers (19.8%), students (24.7%) and homework (20.8%). Commit suicides were made more frequently in April with a significant difference between the urban and rural area (p=0.02). Conflicts with partners and other family members were the main causes of commit suicide. Anticarcotic and antipyretic were often used among the patients living in the urban, while pesticide and raticide more commonly in the rural areas as a means of commit suicide.

The Nobel Prize in biomedicine is given for Guenter Blobel in Karolita Sweden in 12th December 1999. He discovered the “signs in protein which directs the transport and migration of its in the cell”. The value of theme becomes more efficient when many signal procedures in protein synthesis, especially adhesive molecules that common the relation of cell with anothers in live body during their action. Without these molecules on there is unnormal for them will lead to pathological conditions. However, the biological technology of genetransfer has opened many opportunities of treatment, today.

Stockholm Carolinska Institute promulgated Nobel prize for three American Scientists on October 12, 1998. Murad is clinical physician, he determined a agent of monooxyt nitric as chemical mediator of circulation system. Its important opened new study way. Study on NO function not only restrict in circulation sector but also extend in nervous system and immune system

The Nobel prize for the medicine in 2000 was dedicated to Arvid, Carlsson (Swiden), Paul Greengard and Eric Kandel (Ameria) by Swiden Royal academic institute. Their invent plays a vital role in discovering the normal functions of the brain and how the disorder in the sign transmission system can cause the nervous and psychological diseases. From these, researchers have prepared the new drugs including prozac as well as elucidated the cause and treatment of Parkinson, Schizophrenia and cerebral and nervous system disorders.
