Diagnostic curettage has for many years been the method of choice to diagnose endometrial cancer in women with postmenopausal bleeding. In fact, approximately only 10% in this group of women will be diagnosed with endometrial cancer. This study used endometrial thickness as measured by endovaginal ultrasonography as an indicator of endometrial abnormality. The histopathologic diagnosis obtained at curettage is used as the gold standard. 74 women were included in this study. Endometrial cancer was not found with the endometrium= 5 mm thick. The mean endometrial thickness in those women with endometrial cancer was 13.72+/- 8.09 mm compared with 4.3 +/- 2.3 mm in those women with benign endometrium. If the cut off limit for endometrial cancer and hyperplasia was 5 mm, the sensitivity was 100% the specificity was 71.2%, the positive predictive value was 60%, the negative predictive value was 100% and the Kappa ratio was 0.6%. If this limit had been used in this study, 70% of the curettage procedures could have been avoided.

Simultaneous endometrioid carcinoma of the endometrium and ovary was also called 'endometrioid systematic carcinoma'. This disease was not common with the rate of 5.2% of all endometrial carcinomas. This malignant epithelial neoplasm was presented with high differentiation (Grade 1), and it was often detected at early stages (0; 1A: 1B). Their common symptoms were abnormal metrorrhagia associating with ovarian cyst in young women having low parity. The determined diagnosis based on macroscopic and microscopic description, which could be a key significance in classification of this special lesion

Study on 69 patients with bladder rupture due to the abdominal trauma (male: 61; ages of 15-62) in Viet Duc hospital during 1993-1997 diagnosed and treated. The results have found that 39 patients diagnosed as bladder rupture and received emegency operation due to the shock and the intraabdominal bleeding. 20 patients diagnosed timely and 10 patients lately diagnosed within 2-9 days. The mortality rate was 17.4% and the complication rate was 56.5%.

This paper presents the study on Japanese mint SK-33 (M.arvensis L.) and its essential oil. After 3 years cultivated and observed this mint at CoNhue - TuLiem-Hanoi, we have some following notes: its essential oil content at full flowering stage is about 0.64-0.71% in fresh aerial part of plants, 1.38-1.55% in fresh leaves and flowers, 5.13-5.29% in absolute dry leaves and flowers. The chemical composition of this oil was analyzed by GC/MS, 32 constituents were identified. The main constituents are menthol (81.79%), menthone (7.86%), isomenthone (4.95%). Japanese mint SK-33 has rather high content of essential oil, good quality and can create a large quantity of underground stems. It is prospective new mint form for cultivation at large area in our country.

Samples of 22 batches of adsorbed tetanus toxoid, produced at IVAC between 1995 and 2000 were checked for their potency at 24, 36, 42, 48 and 60 months after production. The results showed that: the potency did not change after 42 months of storage at 4oC. From 48 months afterward the potency decreased.

Our study were carried out on 5 patients (3 males, 2 females, the average age was 37.6) in order to evaluate primarily the regime of anti-retrovirus with didanosin and ididavir on 5 HIV patients at some stages of disease. The obvious effectiveness of combination found in the first 3 months, the tolerance was rather good, therefore the drugs can be used for along time. However, the results were satisfactory when using early and the patients were not addicted

The Declaration of Alma- issued the human right in the health protection and care. Vietnam promulgated the people health protective law in 1989. The perquisite condition for the health protection and care was the health system. The causes of the successful assurance of the human right in the health protection and care in Vietnam included enhancement of the ability in approaching the health services, equity in the health care, quantity and quality of the health services, strengthen the inspection and supervision

Which component of polyphenol of Garcinia mangostana L effecting on S. mutans GS-5 causing tooth decay was studied. The materials: the microorganism strain Streptococus mutans GS-5 of America. The method: compounds of polyphenol were isolated by thin layer chromatography method. To measure the pH reduction in glycolysis. The result: Using thin layer chromatography on silicagen was isolated 15 bands of flavonoid from the extract of mangostana. The flavonoid component corresponding with Rf 0,80; Rf 0,86 and Rf 0,91 can strongly inhibit the acid production of S.mutans GS-5

Study on one case of ventrical fibrillation and cardiac arrest during performance of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and stenting in acute myocardial infarction patient at Central Military Hospital 108. Results: the complication of arrhythmia, ventrical fibrillation and cardiac arrest often occurred in patient with acute inferoposterior wall myocardial infarction. Stent-related complications included embolism, coronary piercing and hemorrhage. All equipment and drugs should be prepared when performing PTCA and stenting, especially patients with arrhythmia must be observed by ICU doctor. Electric defibrillation is the most effective treatment of ventrical fibrillation during PTCA and stenting. If CPR has been done correctly, the patient would fully recover although the time of asystole was more than 10 minutes.
