A study on the microscopic and macroscopic pictures of 32 samples from patients with rectal cancer who received the rectostomy has shown that most of patients were lately detected in which DUKES A (3%), DUKES B (50%), DUKES C (38%), DUKES D (9%). 3 cases detected to have cancer cells was under the incision about 1cm. For cancer located far from the anal edge about 5 cm, the operation can conservate the sphincter muscle

A study on 206 patients (mal: 48%) with ages of 40-60 has shown that most frequent signs were feces with blood and mucus and dyspepsia. 98% of cancers were adenocarcinoma. 7% of tumors located in the 1/3 above rectum, 34% of tumors located in the 1/3 middle rectum and 59% of tumors located in the 1/3 lower rectum. The treatment involved the temporary operation (21%), partial rectal removal operation (19%) and complete rectal removal operation (48.5%). The postoperative complications included mortality (1.5%), peritoneal fistula or peritonitis (13%), bleeding (0.5%). The survival rate after 5 years (29%) in which Dukes B phase (45%), Dukes C phase (11%). The rectal cancer is common disease, diagnosed and treated lately.

175 patients with 224 rectal sigma colorectal-polyps in ages of 18 months - 77 ages were found by the endoscopy or the rectal-colorectal operation. The ratio of male/female was 1.92. The main and mark symptom is movement total blood (86.3%) single polyp: 80.8%, the small and medium polyps: 87%, polyps with peduncle: 67.9%, gland polyp: 70.9%, polyp changed to cancer: 7.6%.The large polyps without peduncle, with rough surface account for the severe displasia and high rate of changing to cancer

Castlemen disease is a lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology, was first described as a distinct entity by Castlemen et al in 1956. The disease has two clinical (localized and multicentric) and two histopathological forms (hyalinevascular and plasma cell). This disease is usually, clinically misunderstood as lymphoma, carcinoma metastatic-lymph nodes, or tuberculosis. We, therefore, represent clinicopathological findings of 11 cases of Castlemen disease seen in Hanoi K Hospital. Results: Most patients are women (F:M=4.5:1), age ranges from 15-52 year old with average is 33. The affected nodes are often enlarged (3cm in 63.6%). Localized form is prominent with proportion of 63.6%. The treatment is still problematic, but complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice for localized form and is generally curative.

Background: Deltoid fibrosis is caused by congenital disorder or complication of intramuscular injection or trauma, and can affect aesthetics and functions of shoulders. Objectives: To remark on the risk factors and pathology of deltoid fibrosis, and to evaluate the results of surgical procedure. Subjects and method: This clinical study involved 156 patients with 281 shoulder joints were surgically treated at National Hospital of Pediatrics from August 1994 to June 2005. All patients were physical and radiological examinations, and surgically treated by 1 of 4 techniques. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated. Results and Conclusion: Of 156 patients, there were 72 male and 84 female children, 62.8% in age group of 11-15 years old, and 29.5% over 15 years old. Severity of deltoid fibrosis was: severe in 95.4% of shoulder joints, moderate: 4.6%, and mild: 0%. 12.2% patients experienced deltoid fibrosis in combination with fibrosis of another muscles. The postoperative outcomes included; good: 92.5% of shoulder joints, moderate: 2.9% and bad: 4.6%. Type IV technique give best results (99%).

Background: Contracture of the shoulder adduction caused by fibrous long head of the triceps muscle is rare. Up to now there is no one scientific article about this pathology. Objectives: (1) to remark of the clinical signs of fibrous long head of triceps muscle (2) to evaluate results of surgery. Subjects and methods: During a 2 - years - period (2005 - 2006), there were 21 patients (13 female, 08 male) aged from 06 years old to 19 years old with 34 shoulder joints. Those patients were operated by lengthening long head of the triceps, Teres major and Teres minor muscle. Results: Adduction - contracture, extension and flexion of the elbow, and scapulo humeral angles were measured in Xray. There was a fibrous band in long head of triceps muscle in ultrasound. Results of surgery were good in 31 shoulders (91.2%), fair in 02 shoulders (05.9 %) and poor in 01 (02.9%). Conclusions: Adduction contracture of the shoulders, lateral transfer of the scapula and palpable fibrous band were clinical symptoms of the fibrous long head of the triceps muscle. Evaluating the results of surgery should combines with clinical characteristics, X-ray, ultrasound and function of the shoulder and elbow.\r\n', u'\r\n', u'\r\n', u'

Intestinal villi morphology in 2.5 to 6.5 month old fetus is studied with scanning electronic Microscopy (SEM). Results show that original form of intestinal villi is finger or cone shape without cross sulci on surface and tip sudden. The big finger forms are divided into small size or leaf shape. Cross sulci and tip sunder are appeared on appeared on intestinal villi in six month old fetus. After delivery, surface of intestinal villi is changed very little.

In the ophthalmologic emergency, the intraocular trauma frequently occurred due to the foreign bodies such as metal piece, rice seed, sand, glass piece, etc. This study introduced an intraocular trauma due to extraordinary foreign body called broken edge of knife. The patient was not thorough examined and monitored. During the first emergency, the trauma was closed because it was considered that having no the intraocular foreign body.
