Milk supplementation in 3 months had improved the nutritional status of infant in term of physical growth, hemoglobin and serum albumin level, as well as acute respiratory infection status. The prevalence of underweight grade 1 reduced from 83.1% to 13.6%, underweight grade 2 reduced from 15.3% to 6.8% and there was no case of severe malnutrition. Hemoglobin level increased from 8.961.04 g/dl to 11.21.15 g/dl and serum albumin increased from 3.940.62g/dl to 4.790.42g/dl. The prevalence of acute respiratory infection reduced from 84.7- 27.1%.
Efficacy of the food supplementation for children with poor nutritional status and acute respiratory tract infection

The duration of starting the complement eating was an initial duration of growth of children. Many studies showed that children's slow development occurred within 6-18 months and following. The diet and other intervention impacted significantly on the intervention of children development during this period.

The survey on 404 infants under twelve months in the 4 rural communes in Ninh Thanh district, Hai Hung province showed that high prevalence of underweight (14.6%), acute respiratory infection (84.7%) among the subjects. The main reason is low education level of the mother, low birth weight, lack of breast milk, early giving supplementary food, poor quality of supplementary food. The nutrition education and communication had improved the nutritional knowledge of these mothers.

This study was carried out on 44 patients with celebrovascular accident (CVA) at Huu Nghi Hospital. Results showed that CVA infarctus particularly happens in the rest time much more than in working time (66.0%). 86.6% of the patients had been started to rehabilitation is less than 10 days after CVA. Average distance of the time from CVA to: help to sit up: 4.59 days, one's self sit up: 8.29 days, help to stand up: 9.55 days, one's self stand up: 10.5 days, help to walk: 10.87 days, one's self walk: 13.26 days

Study on 41 pharmaceutical companies in Hanoi city from March 1999 to February 2000. The results: there was an average of 46 pharmaceutical companies of sixteen countries bought the biding documents and about 43% of those companies submitted the bid documents. At each International Competitive Bids, the average of prices of pharmaceutical drugs were correlative with that announced by UNICEF, however, there was still a case of the mean prices of pharmaceutical drugs were higher than that announced by UNICEF. The prices of pharmaceutical drugs were considered lowest, lower than the average of prices of similar products, which were imported into the Vietnam market and announced by UNICEF

Studying the effectiveness of irradiation on bone-marrow, the numbers of leukocyte, erythrocyte, hemoglobin of mice (25 normal mice and 35 mice treated by gamma irradiation with the dose of 600 rad/(100rad/day) (60 Co) showed that: Gamma irradiation reduced total of leucocytes, the number of different leucocytic (lymphocyte, granulocyte, mono and natural killer cells), the ratio of reticulocyte, number of mature erythrocyte and hemoglobin: Total of leucocytes (3,14 ± 1,58 in comparison with 13,45 ± 4,6); monocytes (0,05 ± 0,03 in comparison with 0,26 ± 0,13), lymphocytes (1,66 ± 0,36 in comparison with 6,34 ± 2,84). After gamma irradiation, the number of reticulocyte was 55%, mature erythrocyte was 73% and hemoglobin was 82%

Study on white mices with age of 6-8 weeks, 18-20g body weight. They were divided into 3 groups: group 1 (control group): 30 mices; group 2: mices were immunesuppressed by 200mg cyclophosphamid per one kilogram of body weight, being checked after 5 days of injection; and 300mg cyclophosphamid per one kilogram (200mg on the first day and 100mg on the fifth day) and it was checked after 10 days of injection (group 3). The results: immunesuppressed model implemented by intraperitonial injection of 200mg per one kilogram of body weight checked after 5 days of injeciton. These parameters were used to assign the immune function

Heterogenous transplantation of skin was studied on two strains of mice BALB/C and Swiss.The subjects were divided into various groups :normal group, cyclophosphamid (CP) inhibited group, cyclosporin A (CPA) inhibited group, and the group processed with DY1. The onset of reject phenomenon of the graft and the completed reject of the graft in the groups of mice using CP, CPA and DY1 were more delayed in comparing with the controlled subjects. The cell numbers decreased and the percentage of transformed cells also decreased in all groups using CP, CPA and DY1
