By the technique of indirect immunofluoresceine using 18 diverse markers, in the hospital K- Ha Noi, study was performed to determine the capacity of foreign antigene expression of tumor cells in the cell surface making them identified by immunology system through HLA system on NPC < 75 years old age patients. This system played an essential role in the regulation and realization of immune response.

In this study, 48 long-term exposed people with polychemicals (the male/female ratio is 1/3, the age from 23 to 44): such as organic and iso-organic acids: benzene, toluene and their coequals were investigated. 17 normal people not exposed with polychemicals as the control group. Results were shown following: quantity of erythrocyte was lower than control group but not significantly. Leucocytes especially neutrophils reduced significantly (p<0.001). 15/48 cases (30%) appereared lymphoblast. There is no difference in platelet between studied group and control group

Study on 48 people, of whom 16 are male and 32 are female, from 23 to 44 years old. They were long exposed with poly-chemicals, such as organic and iso-organic acids: benzene, toluene and their coequals. The parameters have been used: phagocyte capablity and phagocyte index of neutrophils; E, rossett formed T cells. The results showed that: Phagocyte capability and phagocyte index of neutrophils decreased significantly comparing with control group (p<0.001)

20 patients with acute leprosy, 12 patients with chronic hepatitis, 34 patients with acute myelogenous leukemia, 48 patients with pharynx cancer. 31 normal healthy persons in the control group. Immune-complexes were fixed quantity by 2 methods: precipitating the immune-complexes with PEG having molecular weight 6.10¬3 and better method. Immune-complexes (+) were identified on acute leprosy, chronic hepatitis and acute diseases with the ratio of positive differences depending on disease, stage and the character of applying technique

115/400 Muong minority pupils of boarding school in Hoa Binh province, all studied subjects have 3 genarations of Muong minority (grandparents, parents and themshelves being Muong minority), from 15 to 19 years old. Using Sero check product of USA to examine the ratio of HBsAg. Results: 19.05% of the boys having HBsAg(+), 13.38% of the girls having HBsAg(+). So the ratio of HBsAg(+) in girls are lower than in boys but it is not significant. The ratio of HBsAg(+) at the age of 15 is 19.61%, the age of 16-17 is 14.74% and the age of 18-19 is 16.67%, there is not significant between groups

Green tea extract decreased lipid metabolism disorders on rabbit consuming cholesterol in experiment through the improvement of plasma TG, TC, LDL-C level. This effect depends on the doses of cholesterol and the drinking periods. The dose of 150mg/kg/day gave best effect.

Green tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in Vietnam. Polyphenol in green tea possess biological effects such as antitumoral, anticarciogenic, anti-inflammatory and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by increasing the plasma antioxidative capacity in human. Lipid peroxidation and oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein have been implicated in human atherosclersis. Green tea extract with doses of 100 mg, 150 mg/kg body weight/day reduced levels of MDA plasma and injury of aortic atherosclerosis

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
