A study on the process of treatment of 40 patients with the nephritic syndrome, without the renal failure by prednisolone from 12/1996 to 5/1998 has shown that 100% patients had a high increased concentration of total cholesterol (CT) and low density lipoprotein (LDL); 90% patient had an increased concentration of triglyceride (TG) and 15% patient had an increased concentration of high density lipoprotein (HDL); 100% patients had an increased concentrations of proteinuria over 3.5 g/24 hours. After 2 weeks of treatment, the concentrations of CT, LDL, TG were reduced but were not significant different from these in baseline. The proteinuria was reduced to 40%; concentration of HDL was gradually increased. Their reductions were significant different from these before treatment but risks were high. 75% patients had negative proteinuria.

Dyslipidemia is very common in nephrotic syndrome, but in clinical practice this problem is not much interested in, although hyperlipidemia can make dangerous complications for the patients. This study examined the variety of dyslipidemia after steroid treatment in patients with nephrotic syndrome but without renal failure. We studied on 40 patients with nephrotic syndrome at HuÕ Central Hospital and found that before treatment, total cholesterol and LDL concentrations are high. After two-week therapy, these concentrations decreased but insignificantly. After four-week therapy, total cholesterol and LDL concentrations decreased, HDL concentration increased. There was significant difference in comparison with the pre-treated concentrations (p<0.05).

Studies of 805 samples until 10/2004 show that the malaria prevalence was high in the first 5 months in 2003, among 7 deaths were unorganized migrants. They contract malaria all year round, especially in the beginning of the year with the highest of 11.96% in February. The density of maralia parasite (+) was high in months at the beginning and end of the year such as January, April and October with the density in the first month of 2.92%. Spleenomegaly was mostly seen in age 5-14 with 3.17% and mostly in grade I and II (97.8%). Spleenomegaly grade III and IV is predominated in over 14 years old group (60%). Vectors at the first three months of the year were high and various in species in accordance with the malaria prevalence. An. dirus and An. minimus as the two main vectors of transmitting were present in almost of the year both house inside and outside, which is the cause for the transmission

Mass deworming with mebendazol 500mg was made in three schools in the districts of Tan Hiep, Hon Dat and An Bien. A prior treatment survey showed a cumulative infection rate of helminth of 15.6% in the school children of which a light infection of Ascariasis, Trichuris and hookworm but high rate of mixed infection (23%) were found. The post-treatment survey showed a 10.7% of the cumulative infection and 9.2% of the mixed infection. The density of three species was light reduced. Six months after treatment, in Hon Dat where the treatment was combined with IEC, the infection rate was found 6.4%, and it was 13.3% in Tan Hiep where no IEC was made. Mass drug administration is thought to be a simple, safe and highly effective method of deworming that can be supported by both teachers and parents of school children. Periodical mass treatment will be more helpful if combined with IEC.

Forecast during 10 years from 2005 to 2014, the numbers of chemical drugs whose intellectual ownership will be expired are 83 substances with their turnover of over 100 billion USD. These are main substances that used for treating chronic diseases among non-communicable diseases - a disease pattern in the developed countries and industrializing countries, which Vietnam is one of them. To study about exploit coming to meet chemical drugs whose intellectual ownership will be expired, many generic manufactories have built research – development strategy in order to produce some specific generic groups, avoiding the simple “copy” of the formula and forms of available brand name products

23 patients with diagnosed malformation of cerebral artery treated at Bach Mai Hospital from May 2000 to April 2002, were admitted because of complications of subarachnoid, or epileptic state, or of localized signs of nerves such as unilateral paralysis of III nerve. All patients were undergone basic examination such as angiography, uremia, glucemia, electroencelograme. 16/23 patients undergone CT scan, 19/23 encephalomyelo puncture, 100% encephaloarterigraphy and 16/23 operation. Internal therapy in acute stage is very important, contibuting to the results of an operation

37 patients (20 male, 17 female) treated in Bach Mai Hospital from May 2000 to March 2002 with definite diagnosis of ventricle hemorrhage. All they were undergone a CT scanning for detecting the blood in brain ventricle by various level and various images. In 19/37 patients by puncture encephalomyelo liquid was examined, in 1 patient there is an artery - venous communicans determined by arrterioangiography. Initial symptoms such as headache, nausea/vomit, conciousness disturbance, hemi-paralytis, seizure, fever, urine retention, uncontrolled urination, eyelid collapsure, dizziness and perspiration. An early diagnosis and proper treatment can decrease the mortality and the disability

60 subjects with brain lacunar infarction and 60 with other brain (no lacunar) infarction aged 20-67 were investigated in Bach Mai Hospital from Jan 2001 to Jun 2002. The proportion of brain lacunar infarction vs other brain infarction was 38% in the same duration. 5 main syndromes of lacunar infarction were 98%, other syndromes 2%. There is no difference in age and gender of both groups. Risk of complications of brain lacunar infarction raised by 8,9 times in comparing with high blood pressure, 6,5 times with smoking, 2,3 times with diabetes

A 26-year male patient admitted for severe head trauma. The patient was given tracheotomy and inserted Cavafix-type catheter into left subclavian vein. After 14 days, the surgeon cut off the catheter unintentionally during cutting the suture on the skin. The remain catheter section was dept. Chest X-rays showed that the distal of catheter was in the right atrium. Intravascular interventional procedure produced successful result with minimal invasion and spared the risk for patient.

A study on 60 patients with the cerebral lacunar infarction, ages of 20-85 and 60 patients with cerebral infarction (control), ages of 20 -87 has shown that the syndromes of cerebral lacunar infarction comprised hemiplegia type of merely moving, speaking disorder hemiplegia type of combination of sense and moving, merely sense accident and other lacunar syndromes. The risk factors of diseases were hypertension, diabetes and smoking.
