A prospective study was carried out on 17 patients with upper ureteral calculus treated by retroperitoneal laparoscopy in Viet Duc Hospital from Nov 2004 to Apr 2005. Results: The blood loss was usually not much (20-100 ml). It was difficult to remove calculi due to they moved up to kidney, it must enlarge the incision. There were two cases of peritoneum perforations during the operation that had been sutured. In postoperative period, patients were stable, there were no complications besides mild abdominal pain at the incision; 1 month after the operation, these patients well recovered. This procedure is superior to traditional open surgery with less complications, shorter of hospitalization stay, rapider recovery...

Urinary lithiasis is a common disease in internal medicine and surgery. In period of 10 year (1982-1991), the number of patients came to Urinary Department of Viet Duc hospital for urinary lithiasis was 38%. There are 5 surgical treatment methods for urinary lithiasis: classical surgery, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and recently is the retroperitoneal endoscopic surgery. There were urinary procedures had been performed by retroperitoneal endoscopy. In 1969, Bartel performed the first time the retroperitoneal endoscopic technique by mediastinum endoscopic machine. In 2003, Nguyen Van Hiep et al reported 36 patients who had upper urethral gravel were treated by retroperitoneal endoscopy; the successful rate was 32/36 cases, there were 4 cases had to be open operated, complication rate was low. The initial application of retroperitoneal endoscopic surgical technique in the treatment of upper urethral gravel achieved encouraged results, it also has prospect of being applied in other complicated urinary surgeries.

Background: Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual dysfunction which affects the quality of life in both men and women. Objectives: To assess the effects of a topical anesthetic mixture in the treatment of Premature Ejaculation (PE). Subjects and method: Fifty-six men diagnosed as PE were guided to use a local anesthetic mixture of procaine-xylocain applied to glands on the penis before sexual activity (about 15 minutes prior), the course of treatment lasted 3 months. Results:There was a significant increase in the mean of intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IEL n from 1.87 to 8.41 mins (p<0. OS) and satisfying scores of both overall sex life and sexual relationship with their partners. General results were divided into 4 degrees: good (30.2%) average (43.4%) no result (15.1%) and negative results (11.3%). Some side effects included retarded ejaculation or anejacualation (9.43%) decrease of glands penis and vagina sensitivity (28.3% and 9.43% respectively). Conclusion: While there is no effective therapy for PE, anesthetic creams might be effective for treatment of the disorder. \r\n', u'\r\n', u'

The effects of insecticides padan, bassa (carbamate) and acephate (OP) on P.ChE activity, MetHb rate and acid-base balance were determined in rabbits. The rabbits were treated by oral administration. Results: In the first group plasma cholinesterase (P.ChE) activity was significantly decreased while methemoglobin (MetHb) rate was significantly increased at 2h and 4h and returned to the before treatment at 24h. The rabbits were mixed alkalosis at 2h, respiratory alkalosis at 4h. In the second group P.ChE activity significantly decreased, MetHb rate significantly increased at 2h and 4h of treatment and then returned to the normal levels at 24h. The rabbits were mixed alkalosis at 2h, respiratory alkalosis at 4h. In the third group P.ChE activity significantly decreased, MetHb rate significantly increased at 3h and 6h and not returned to the before treatment at 24h. The rabbits have respiratory alkalosis at 3h, metabolic acidosis at 6h

156 patients with facial paralysis treated in hospital No103 from 1991 to July 2002 were studied by technique of descriptive observation X ray photography at Schiller position to detect mastoid malformation to find the cause and to determine the treament. In 60% of cases, the cause was not identified, especially Charles Bell paralysis can caused by local dysturbance of vasculority. In such cases vitamine B can administered in combining with acupuncture. In case of pain, high dose of prednisolon can be used with dilatater medicines. Facial paralysis caused by braiskill trauma, by VIII nerve tumor and by ear mastoiditis(2,56%)…need a surgical treatment, other causes must be solved

Hopea Odorata Roxb (HO) is often used by many Vietnamese people as a remedy for dental caries. However, nothing is known about which compound(s) of the material and how it (they) acts to protect the teeth. It was found in this study that the ethanol extract of Hopea odorata Roxb bark (HOE) was strongly inhibited acid production of Streptococcus mutans cells in suspension and biofilms as well. The extract also killed the organisms in acidified medium. At a concentration of 10% HOE, 90% of population was killed by 10 min and 30 min at pH 4.0 and 7.0, respectively. Killing ability of HOE was augmented when combined with hydroperoxide. In reduced pH and killing assays, the cells in biofilm appeared to be more resistant to the effect of the HOE compared to the cells in suspension. Further investigation should be needed to elucidate the anticariogenic effects of HOE

During 3 years over 400 cases with neurological diseases in infants were operated on at the Dep. of Neurosurgery of Hanoi Saint-Paul hospital. Among them, there were only 16 cases with meningocele and meningo-encephalocele (congenital malformations). These patients were from 2 days to 16 months of age. To obtain good results, the diagnosis and treatment must be made early in the first days of life of the children. Results: among 16 cases: good:15, death:1

The study involved 30 patients (21 males, 9 females, aged from 18 to 77) who had gastroduodenal ulcer-caused bleeding at the Hospital 103 between October 1999 to July 2000. Common symptoms included dizziness, tar-like stool, fatigue and fast pulse. The patients received Sandostanin 0.1 mg two ampoule mixed in 500 ml isotonic glucose or saline solution intravenous for 4 - 5 hours in consecutive 3 days. Results: Sandostanin (octreotid) is effective for gastroduodenal ulcer-caused bleeding, stops bleeding rapidly even in first day (93.4%), reduce the amount of transfused blood, shorten the stay duration, reduce the relapse, rate of induced sclerotization and operation is lowered. Sandostanin is safe, almost free of adverse effects and should be indicated early.

In diagnosis of obstructed labor, beside the line of cervical dilation comes to the right of the alert line and crosses the action line, the line of descent of fetal presentation should be noted. After 4 hours, if the contractions occur with frequency of 3 and last for 20 to 40 seconds and the fetal head has not descended further, it should be considered as a sign of obstructed labor. The partograph that was designed according to national standard is proper and useful in decision of cesarean section.
