Study two cases of primary amyloidosis with the pathognomonic symptom of macroglossia , the diagnosis and treatment of primary amyloidosis. The first one presented with lesions of the tongue, peripheral neuropathy and the bone marrow aspiration revealed <30% plasmocyte with neither bone destruction nor heart, kidney injury. The second case showed diffuse infiltration of amyloid, not only caused the macroglossia but also led to the injury of the heart, pleura, kidneys, subcutaneous tissues, and the autonomic nervous system with postural hypotension

A restrospective study carried out on 309 patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia treated from 1990 to 10/2000 showed that; -88 cases (28.3%) converted to the blast crisis. - 89.77% of these cases developed acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) and 9.09% developed ALL.-The percentage of male and female were 55.68% and 44.31% - 45.45% of these converted cases occurred in the age group of 30-50. The youngest age was 10 months and the oldest age was : 72 years old. Mean of duration of the chronic phase was 2.5 years.

On experimental rats, the effect of pain relieve, of neuroleptic and acute toxicity of Formula D1 was studies. The formula composes of 9 componants (Bach truat, Hoang ky, Chi thuc, Moc huong, Nghe, Cam thao, Lac tien, Bach thuoc, Huong phu). It manifests an effects of analgesic on white mouse, experimented with the method of heat plate and Koster. The formula inhibits Central nervous system, it has not acute toxicity when administered orally in dose of 73 folds of therapeutic dose

An one year old girl with congenital torticolis was subjected to study. At birth, an oval neck mass was persisted at the right side, which made the head tilted. The patient was treated by massage to reduce the contraction of clavicle muscle. Infra-red was irradiated during 10 minutes in the neck and the left side lumbar regions. Exercises were practised to rotate the neck and the trunk, and to stretch the neck. Mother was trained for holding and carrying the child at home. 4 months of treatment gave good results

Cot khi cu was studied on experiment animals. Pain relief effect was evaluated with 1% extract, sedative and hypnotic effect was compared with hexobarbital and acute toxicity was assessed by Lichfield Wilcozon Method. Results showed that raw and processed Cot khi cu did not cause acute toxicity, with a dose of 200 folds of clinical dose. In raw and processed Cot khi cu, there is no defference in pain relief effect. Roast Cot khi cu gave a better sedative effect than the raw Cot khi cu

The anti-flammatory effect of Drynaria fortunei was studied on rat’s hind paw edema induced by carrageenin. Results showed that its aqueous extract in the dose of 4g/kg body weight exerts anti-inflammatory effect. Acute effect of Drynaria fortunei is exhibited through the decreased quantity of exudation and the number of leucocyte in the exudation.

2.280 people living in DongDa district, Hanoi city were randomly selected and interviewed concerning the health status, the physical illness the emotional troubles as well as the habit of use of alcohol, sleeping medication, pain medication, and their suicidal thought in whole life. The results showed that there is an association between the suicidal thoughts and cancer, asthma. Anxiety, depression and fear were considered predictors for these thoughts, the habit for using sleeping and pain relief medications were associated statistic significantly with the suicidal thoughts but there was not an association with the use of alcohol.

The effect of analgetic and anti inflammatory of Tinospora Sinensis Men were studies in the form liquid glue on experimental mice. These mice were divided into 4 groups: group 1 takes NaCl 0,9%; group 2 takes Aspegic; group 3 takes liquid glue with dose 4g/kg; group 4 takes liquid glue with dose 8g/kg. The results were: after 5 min causing pain, aspegin and Tinospora Sinensis Men relieves pain clearly. After 15 min, these two drugs also has effect vigorous (58.88 – 88.5%) compared to control group with P<0.001. Dose 4g/kg of Tinospora Sinensis Men had not effected yet acute anti inflammatory clearly. Dose higher 8g/kg can inhibit inflammatory reaction on leg of mice with 10,16% (P<0.005), less than aspegic 0.05g/kg. The conclusion: Tinospora Sinensis Men has effect relieving pain by peripheral machanism, anti inflammatory acute and relievring oedematose reaction local with dose 8g/kg

Study on acute and subchronic toxicity of CP preparation (extracted from Cu Binh Voi) finding using CP preparation with 1000mg/kg mouse of dose, follow in 72 hours, not any mice died. With 30mg/kg mouse uninterrupted take in 30 days, CP preparation didn’t effect to making blood function (but reduced number of leukocyte). It exchanged effect of eliminate urea thourgh renal. It not exchanged tranxaminaza level in serum but slightly effect to sterilize function of rabit

Study on ‘Cot toai bo’ (Drynaria bonii Rhizome) product was processed from fresh stem and root of Drynaria bonii Christ., collected at Lang Son from July 2003 to September 2003. Results: chemical analysis showed that Cot toai bo contains flavonoids, steroid saponins, sterols, tannins, deoxidized sugar. Total flavonoid in stem and root accounted for 0.60±0.03% and total saponin was 3.71±0.06%. After processing by traditional method, total flavonoids and saponins in processed materials reduced in comparison with raw material. Compare 2 processing methods: in rice alcohol processed material, whose chemical constituents were reduced very little but in fried material, whose chemical constituents were reduced more than raw material. Rice alcohol processed Cot toai bo had analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects better than raw material and this processing was a more appropriate method than fried method
