Across - Sectional study was carried out to assess of occupational diseases in Thai Nguyen metalurgical industry. The study was conducted to workers which had been exposed more than 5 years old with risk factors. The results showed that: Among 1267 workers were medically examined, the prevalence of silicosis was high: Iron and steel workers: 9.7%, Non - ferrous metalurgical workers: 10.4%. The rate of sillicosis had close relationship with years of exposure and working enviroment. In non - ferrous metalurgical industry, the rate of poisoning was high. The serious status of diseases was about 20% with lead poisoning. Many patients were died because of Asenic and Benzen poisoning.

Study of respiratory function of 120 males’ workers ages of 25-45 years in some cement and asbestos factories was performed to give the methods for reducing respiratory diseases. Results showed that: the working time of these workers was over 5 years. Their respiratory function reduced by aged and working time. The more working time was, the more exposed time to dust in working environmental was. The results indicated that it is necessary to give reducing methods of silidust in producing process, to improve work condition, and to reduce diseases of respiratory

The cross-sectional study with interviews people who exposed to chemicals for plant protection at 528 households in vegetable areas in Thai Nguyen city showed that: the rate of people directly exposing to pesticides in study group is very high (34.8%). 55.3% of people exposing to pesticides are women, 20% out of them under 18 and over 60 years old. Knowledge and practice on safety in using pesticides are even low. Common manifestations: tiredness, headache, dizziness, numbness account for 3.1-48.1%. The rate of nerve and dermal diseases is relatively high

The microclimate at working environment is bad, especially radiation. The particle levels at most workshops are higher than approved standard. The morbidity is increasing between 1999 to 2000. The increase in morbidity with professional age was noted. The incidence of skin, dental and ORL diseases increase significantly. The alergic cutaneous diseases affect to fourth of workers. 11.48% of examined persons have silicosis.

We studied on hematological parameters, lymphocytes distribution and stem cell (CD34 positive) count from cord blood of 43 healthy newborn at obstetrics department, Bach Mai hospital. The result showed that, stem cell count of cord blood is high (16.2% of nucleated cell, equal to 2.4+/- 0.3 G/l). this will be useful to allegoric stem cell transplantation. However, relatively high count of white cell (especially T lymphocyte) can be considerable to procedure and transplant result, free of graft versus host disease.

This report aimed to discuss two nearly identical cases of primary conjunctival mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma mimicking allergic conjunctivitis. Two patients were referred to the Department of Ophthalmology, Ilsan Paik Hospital, Inje University because of the intractability to conventional treatment for initially diagnosed allergic conjunctivitis. On ocular examinations, normally pigmented, giant papillae-like lesions were found in the bilateral upper conjunctivae. Excisional biopsies were performed. Histopathologic and immunohistochemical examinations of the conjunctival biopsies revealed MALT lymphoma in both patients. The patients subsequently received radiation therapy and achieved complete remission with no evidence of recurrence during the follow-up periods of 13 and 11 months, respectively. Ophthalmologists should be reminded that a primary conjunctival low-grade malignant lymphoma may masquerade as allergic conjunctivitis with similar clinical features.
