Fifty umbilical cord blood samples have been collected for investigation of hematological index. Values of leucocyte, granulocyte, lymphocyte, monocytes, red corpuscles and reticulocytes have been harvested from Cell Dyn 3,500. The Hb electrophoresis by Bechman seperated well HbF from HbA. Most of our values are similar to Wintrobe’s but for granulocyte, red cell, hemoglobin and volume packed red cell are signigicantly lower if comparing to Wintrobe’s.

The postoperative bleeding is a common complications. It is difficult to precisely diagnose the bleeding position. The X-ray department of ViÖt §øc hospital implemented the angiography to find the postoperative bleeding in the liver, kidney, stomach, etc... and then induction of embolism to treat the hemorrhage. The results: 6 among 7 patients with postoperative bleeding treated and had a good efficacy.

On January and June, 2002 four Cord Blood Transplantations were implemented at HCMC Blood Transfusion Hematology Center with ALL, AML, CML and (Thalassemia, where a relation and three unrelation, Results: ANC>0.5x109 L/L: 21 days (relation) and 45 days (unrelation). Platelet count of >50x109 L/L: 27 days (relation) and 60 days (unrelation).

248 cases of avulsion of posterior cruciate ligament treated with screw fixation.- The Trickey approach through the poplitear fossa to treat the avulsion of PCL is difficult and hazardous. - From 1991-1999 at CTO, 248 cases of avulsion of PCL were treated (169 men-79 women, age 13-60, traffic accident: 229 cases). In 232 cases, we used a simplified approach which was not transcrect the gastrocnemius or expose the neurovascular structures but only retracted the medical head of gastrocnemiers to expose the posterior capsule of the knee. This technique is very easy, safe and good rehabilitation

Traumatic hematomas in the posterior fossa is relatively rare (only 2.8% in the total cases of hematomas in the cranium), but dangerous because clinical symptoms are not specific and sudden suspension of breathing may lead rapidly to mortality. The author had analysed these cases to find out experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The rate of mortality after surgery and medical treatment was 14.3%.

This is a retrospective study on 41 cases with hydrocephalus caused by posterior fossa tumors treated at neurosurgery Dep., Cho Ray hospital from 1993 to 1995. All child patients entering the study had the intracranial pressure syndrome and evidence clinical, paraclinical symptoms. 18/41 cases had cerebellar symptoms (50%). 27 cases had the pathological results after tumor removal in which 20 cases were medulloblastoma (74.04%). The percentage of patients becoming worse postoperatively was still high: 7/27 cases (25.92%). To enhance the quality of treatment, it is necessary to make the diagnosis early and treat the patients actively.

A first male patient with age of 30 in Vietnam had typical clinical symptoms and histopathological features of the primary gelatinous Drop-like dystrophy. This was the first time the research on the genetic mutation affirmed the hereditary of the disease. The combination of surgery with the open amniotic transplantation was new method of the treatment.

Authors have studied 41 patients with posterior urethral stenosis at Department of Urology - ViÖt §øc Hospital from 1/1997 to 8/2000. All patients have operated by the perineal approach, doctors resected fibre tissue and made the urethral anastomosis. A mean follow up was 12 months. The treatment outcome: very good 71%, good 24%. Failed treatment 5%. The improvement of erectile function 61%.

A study on 116 patients with the coronary arterial disease in Friendship hospital during 1996-2000 to evaluate the risk factors such as blood pressure, left ventricular thickness, body mass index (BMI), glycemia cholesterolemia and weight of myocardiac. The results have shown that the disease occurred mainly in patients with ages of 60-69; men with disease (64.6%); hypertension in grade I, II and III (60.3%) hyper cholesterolemia (56.3%); hypertriglyceridemia (25%), less physical exercise (58.7%); obesity in grade I, II, III (39%); diabetes (18.9%), left ventricular thickness (18.9%); postmentruation (85.3%). The study concluded that It is necessary to intervent early the risk factors to slow the progress of disease and reduce the accidents

During 8/1997- 10/1998, the coronary discase of 80 patients in the nuclear medicine department of the Army Central hospital 108 were evaluated by the technique SPECT- the myocardial perfusion with TC 99 m tetrofosmin spect accompanying with the strain test by dobutamin, of which 14 patients received the coronary angiography prior to and after the technique SPECT. The results haves shown that the technique SPECT with the myocardial perfusion of TC 99 m-tetro fosmin combining with the strain test had a high sensitivity and specificity in finding the ischemic lesion due to the coronary disease.
