Autoradiographic study was performed in order to know the distribution of exogenous radioactive substance, (3)H-6-Thymidine, by liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica. The worms were maintained in vitro for 1 hour, at 37 degrees C, in Tyrode solution containing (3)H-6-Thymidine. After the incubation, the worms were sectioned and autoradiographed by applying the techniques of microautoradiography. The black grains derived from labeled substance were highly accumulated in the vitelline duct and vitelline glands. Moderate amount of blackening showed in the subcuticular muscle fibers, testes, ovary, cirrus sac, oral sucker and pharynx. Slightly labeled particles were in the reticular tissue, ventral sucker, intestinal epithelium, prostate, uterus and ova. There can hardly be found the black grains in the cuticle.

Infectious diseases are second leading cause of morbidity and mortality, after cardiovascular diseases. From 1990 to 1999, about 2000 patients with infectious diseases were treated at HuÕ Central Hospital every year. The mortality rate decreased from more than 1% to 0.5%. Recently, incidence of some diseases have decreased dramatically, such as malaria, typhoid fever, cholera or had low mortality such as meningitis, tetanus. But some diseases have increased, such as viral hepatitis, AIDS or Dengue haemorrhagic fever. Applying new antibiotics and new treatment options has played a key role in shortening the time of treatment and reducing the mortality.

Allergic reactions to medications are increasing not only in patients but also in medical practitioner. Objectives: 1) Finding out prevalence of drug allergy in Bach Mai hospital staffs and listed medications caused allergic reactions. 2) Comparison some aspects of drug allergy between the health staffs and other groups. 3, Study on clinical symptoms of drug allergy and bring forward views. Subjects: 215 physicians, pharmacists, nurses, techniciants of Bach Mai Hospital and 200 staffs with other jobs. Method: Cross-sectional comparative surveys. Results: The prevalence of allergic reaction in health staffs is higher and these ones had more likely to have drug allergy by 2.5 times compared with other occupational groups. Almost all medications used in clinical practice can cause allergic reactions to the health staffs. Antibiotics were major cause and allergic reactions to familiar beta-lactams happened in the health staffs via contact. Main clinical symptoms of drug allergy were urticaria, prurigo, vomitting, nause and erythema with 3 main syndromes: urticaria, quincke edema and allergic dermatitis. Allergic reactions in health staffs of hospital are needed to pay more attention. Conclusion: the prevalence of drug allergy in Bach Mai Hospital staffs is high and these subjects should be protected from this condition.
