Materials and methods: The flowers of Lonicera dasystyla were collected at the suburbs of Ha Noi city. The total flavonoid extract of the flowers was chromatographed to obtain the fraction F1KN, which was submitted to the examination for the stimulatory effect on the blast transformation of human lymphocytes. Results: At the dose of 30 mcg/ml in PBS, F1KN was proved to have a good effect. After 72h in vitro culture, the 30 mcg/ml dose increased the potential transformation of human lymphocytes by about 7 times compared with the control samples (1600 versus 230 pulses/min, respectively), while in the same condition, phytohemagglutinin (PHA) at the dose of 10 mcg/ml, increased the redioactivity by about 13000 pulses/min.

OBJECTIVETo survey and compare the thickness-change of different thickness thermoplastic materials under different test condition and make sure the relationship between the thickness-change and the material initial thickness in order to provide a guide in selecting the suitable thickness thermoplastic in practice.

METHODSTo choose Biolon, the thickness include 1.0 mm, 0.75 mm, 0.5 mm. Used Electron Vernier caliper to measure the thickness-change of different thickness thermoplastic materials under different processing mode. The data was analyzed by SPSS 10.0.

RESULTSAfter thermoforming the thickness of thermoplastic became thinner, the thickness of Biolon 0.75 mm decreased by 0.14 mm, Biolon 1.0 mm decreased by 0.22 mm and Biolon 0.5 mm decreased by 0.14 mm. After saliva immersion the thickness became thicker. The thickness of Biolon 0.75 mm increased by 0.02 mm, Biolon 1.0 mm increased by 0.03 mm and Biolon 0.5 mm increased by 0.02 mm.

CONCLUSION1)The influence of different processing mode to the thickness-change had relation to the material initial thickness. 2)The Biolon 0.75 mm had certain superiority in thickness stability compared to the homogeneous brand through the above research.

GMP requires that all procedures should be properly validated...To ensure that processes and procedures remain capable of achieving the intended results, they should routinely undergo critical approvals. To obtain this purpose, the retrospective validation is proceeded with data provided from at least 10 batches. According to a C. Estampe study, we carried out a retrospective validation with Oroken 200mg tablets produced at the Saint Genis-Laval factory of Rh«ne-Poulenc Rorer (French).

The methods used descriptive epidemiology, investigation of working environment, clinical examination, chest X-ray, and examination of respiratory function and silicosis. The target groups are 1204 workers producing constructional materials. The finding indicated that the dust concentration with free silic is higher than that of maximum acceptance. The prevalence of silicosis is 7.8% with the categories from 1/0p to 2/1q. There are also 77 cases which suspected to be suffered of category 0/1p (6.4% of 1204 studied workers). Base on the above data it is recommended that the designing, installation of exhausting apparatus at the workplace and use of individual protecting equipment (mask...) are necessary and most effective in silicosis prevention

Statistical process control is a complicated and time consuming work. Therefore, it requires the assistance of a computer package capable of performing statistical analysis and process control. Such a software has not been commercially available in Viet Nam, so far. PharmaSoft TD has been designed and established for Vietnamese pharmaceutical manufactures. Pharmasoft TD is an advanced statistical process control toll running in Microsoft Windows. Functionally, it allows users to perform Dixon test and test of normality, to create his tograms control charts (both Shewhart and cusum), to generate process capability analysis…At the end, PhamaSoft TD can export to windows-supported printers all accepted Shewharts to be used in statistical process control

The wide use of chairside CAD/CAM restorations has increased the diversity of the restorative material. For the practitioner, the selection of the appropriate material is difficult amongst the variety offered by the market. Information on the characteristics of the products can be difficult to assess due to the lack of up-to-date classification and the lack of reliability of manufacturer's advertising. The purpose of this article is to structure the data on restorative materials provided by various sources in order for the practitioner to choose the product most suited to the clinical situation. The objective is to classify chairside CAD/CAM materials and to define their characteristics and indications.

The difference between concept of the "UDI" and" medical device code" is discussed. History of medical device code is reviewed. Function, principle, methods of this code and its relationship with medical device nomenclature, classification, classified catalog and "UDI" is proposed. Meanwhile, suggestion of the establishment of medical device code system is proposed.
