Insulin independent diabetes is considered as a metabolic and vascular disease that causes vascular complications in which atherosclerosis rate was common. 70-75% of type II diabetic patients was dead due to complications of atherosclerosis such as myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, and arteritis obliterans in lower limb. A study on 114 type 2 diabetic patients (female: 90) with ages of 62, without obesity and 40 persons without diabetes has shown that the rate of carotid atherosclerosis in type II diabetic patients was high, the ages of lesion occurring in type II diabetic patients less 10 years than this in persons without type 2 diabetes. In addition to, traditional risks such as ages, phase of disease, there was correlation between thickness of atherosclerosis plaque and blood fibrinogen as well as abdominal measurement

The bacillary dysentery can occur in all age but rarely in children under 6 months in the pediatric department of Bach mai Hospital had a warning in the food hygience and safety and drug administration for infant. The first baby was treated by Negram in the condition of disease free. The second baby was treated by Negram in the fifth day, within 2 days and discharged in the condition of disease free.

Vascularized sural flap with distal pedicle is using for covering of soft tissue defect of the heel-ankle region, when there are no impossibility for the internal plantar flap. With the application on 9 patients, we have the incidence of : -Excellent result: 7- Good result: 2. We hope that we could have good appreciation in future after we have worked on many patients

Multiple tests are available to diagnose Helicobacter pylori. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the sensitivity, specificity and negative and positive predictive values of 13C-Urea breath test (13C-UBT) and other biopsy-based methods in H. pylori diagnosis. A total of 702 patients (mean age, 51.2+/-16.0 years; 327 males and 375 females) were tested for H. pylori infection using 13C-UBT, CLO tests (Delta West, Australia), histology (H&E and modified Giemsa stains), and culture. All patients were untreated for H. pylori infection. Infection status was established by Gold Standard (or culture positive of 2 out of 3 other tests positive). Results suggested that 13C-UBT was the most accurate method for H. pylori diagnosis, although CLO test and histology also produced excellent sensitivity and specificity. Culture method had the best specificity; however, it produced the lowest sensitivity. Combination of histology and CO test gave higher sensitivity and specificity than each method used individually. Conclusion: The noninvasive 13C-BUT is excellent accurate method for determining H. pylori infection when endoscopy is not required. Histology, CLO test and culture are also good methods for H. pylori diagnosis.

Study on 732 Australia dyspeptic patients with infection of H. pylori, in which there are 96 Vietnamese immigrants. Results: Among dyspeptic patients, the prevalence of H. pylori infection in Vietnam (63.7%, 95%Cl: 62.7-64.7%) was statistically higher than that in Australia (46.4%, 95%Cl: 46.0-46.8%). The spectrum of GD diseases in Vietnamese dyspeptic patients is very different from that of Australian patients with higher DU and GU and lower GORD and Barrett's epithelium. The prevalence of H. pylori infection in Vietnamese patients in Hanoi is not different from that of Vietnamese immigrants in Australia. In contrast, GoRD is found about 7 times more frequent in Vietnamese immigrants compared with Vietnamese patients living in Hanoi.

This study was carried out in 72 healthy adults of working age, non-smoking, and non-exposure to occupational carbon monooxide. The results showed that substances coming from factories did not pollute their indoor environment at home. The hemoglobin (Hb) contents of examined persons was within the normal range of 122-165 g/l. Average CarboxyHemoglobin (HbCO) was 0.789+/-0.382%, ranging 0.000 to 1.500%.

Study on the pathogens of septicemia in order to choose appropriately antibiotics in the treatment. Subjects were 138 septicemia patients admitted to Institute of Infectious and Tropical Diseases from June 2001 to May 2002. All patients were taken their blood samples to isolated and culture bacteria during they had high fevers or before taking antibiotics. Some pathogenous bacteria were isolated and identified in 20.3% patients. The most common species were S. aureus (accounted for 42.4%), followed by Enterobacteriaceae (28.8%)

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes had been collected at field of some Northern provinces between 2001 and 2004 for studies of their susceptibility to insecticides. It was seen that: all of tested mosquitoes dropped immediately 100% and 100% killed after 24 hours. The results showed that all tested mosquitoes were highly susceptible to insecticides, such as permethrin, lambda cyhalothrin, and malathion from 2001-2004 in Northern region. The provinces participate in the test was up fro 5-7. Using the insecticides to kill Aedes aegypti by ULV spraying was effective in Northern provinces in Vietnam. It is adviced to send mosquitoes and lavae in June and July when the density of mosquitoes and lavae is high. Therefore, expanding studies to other provinces throughout the country to identify susceptibility of Aedes aegypti to insecticides is very necessary for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever vector control.
