A study on the process of treatment of 40 patients with the nephritic syndrome, without the renal failure by prednisolone from 12/1996 to 5/1998 has shown that 100% patients had a high increased concentration of total cholesterol (CT) and low density lipoprotein (LDL); 90% patient had an increased concentration of triglyceride (TG) and 15% patient had an increased concentration of high density lipoprotein (HDL); 100% patients had an increased concentrations of proteinuria over 3.5 g/24 hours. After 2 weeks of treatment, the concentrations of CT, LDL, TG were reduced but were not significant different from these in baseline. The proteinuria was reduced to 40%; concentration of HDL was gradually increased. Their reductions were significant different from these before treatment but risks were high. 75% patients had negative proteinuria.

Dyslipidemia is very common in nephrotic syndrome, but in clinical practice this problem is not much interested in, although hyperlipidemia can make dangerous complications for the patients. This study examined the variety of dyslipidemia after steroid treatment in patients with nephrotic syndrome but without renal failure. We studied on 40 patients with nephrotic syndrome at HuÕ Central Hospital and found that before treatment, total cholesterol and LDL concentrations are high. After two-week therapy, these concentrations decreased but insignificantly. After four-week therapy, total cholesterol and LDL concentrations decreased, HDL concentration increased. There was significant difference in comparison with the pre-treated concentrations (p<0.05).

61 patients (age 20-59 years) treating in the Department for Internal Medicine were investigated using descriptive method. These patients have not any endocrine disease. There are significant difference in serum lipid and lipoprotein levels between patients with cerebrovascular stroke and general population. Common types of dyslipidemia are that can cause risk for developing arteriosclerosis, in which type IV is 59.02%.

Subjects are 540 patients, including 320 males and 220 females, mean age 62.1±11.8, ranged from 11 to 84 years old. Rate of lacunar infarction is 29%. Hypertension and diabetes are 2 major risk factors as well as are causes of lacunar infarction. Idiopathic cerebral infarction accounts for high rate (46%). Progress and prognosis of lacunar infarction is better than other ischemic strokes.

From January 2001 to June 2002, 96 patients who were suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage were admitted to the stroke service of the neurological Department of B¹ch Mai Hospital. Diagnosis based on the clinical examination, CT Scan, lumbar puncture (if necessary) transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD), and angiography (DSA, and MRA). There were 35 females and 61 males. The age ranged from 12 to 84. The averaged age 46-65 years: 47 (49%). The clinical pictures included headache 98%, vomiting and/ or nausea 89%, consciousness disorders 55%, neck stiffness 94%, kernigsign 89%, hemiplegia 35%, cranial third nerve palsy 9%, cerebral aneurysm 88%, and arteriovenous malformation (AVM) 12%. Evaluation and complications included good recovery 14%, moderate disability 53%, severed disability 25%, death 8%, no cases with persistent vegetative states, recurrent bleeding 27%, cerebral vasospasm 29%, hydrocephalus 26%, Hyponatremia 17%, and seizure 5%.

The Biomedical Laboratory Center of Hanoi Medical University was established in January 17th 1997 and comprises 4 small labors: the functional tests; biochemical; immunology and genetic. According to its functions and tasks, the labor has human resources with the high technical and scientific levels. This resource originated from the faculties of Hanoi Medical University. This is an activity pattern which is suitable and convenient for staffs and students in the university.

The classification, diagnosis and management of the feminized testicle were implemented in the institute of mother and infant protection and care during 1998-1999 showed that the feminized testicle only found after the puberty age with the reasons of the primary menostasis or abnormality of the external genitalia. The clinical condition of 3 patients were typical. The hormone replacement therapy was used after the removal of testicle and reconstruction of the external genitalia.

A cross-section study of actual situations to postpartum care of 195 cases at Chi Linh district, Hai Duong province. There were 52.3% cases had been examined by Community Health Workers and among them 51.1% was good quality. The rate of postpartum care of the first week was low. 77.4% cases had provided the Home based mother and child record but it was used 15.6% only in the postpartum care. The occupations and mothers culture level influenced to knowledge and practice of postpartum care. The postpartum care by Community Health Workers for mothers was low not only in quality but also in quantity. There were 47.7% of mothers who have never been cared. It was necessary to improve postpartum care for mothers

The chemical composition of essential oil of Zanthoxylum nitidum DC. from Thanh Hoa has been studied by combination of capilary GC and and found to contain 50 components, 40 of which have been identified. The major ones being beta-caryophyllene (24.6%), y- elemene (14.7%), bicyclogermacrene (12.9%). From the leaves of Zanthoxylum nitidum DC. were isolated stigmasterol and dihydrokaempferit. Its structure were elucidated by EI-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR

The diagram of immune system with antigene was the toxic extract from the repeating stage, making the rough serum up to the lowest of 150 Lf/ml (or 210IU/ml) and applied the method of taking horse’s blood and giving back red blood cells to increase the the rough serum two times. The new process did reduce the level fN-protein, time and increase the quantity and productivity of the purified serum. The purified serum was of high quality: clear color, low level of N-protein to 30% compared with registered standard (150mg/ml).
