The study was realized on 76 patients with burnt hand composed of 2nd degree: 45.8%, 3rd degree: 27.1%, 3rd and 4th degree: 18.7% and 2,3,4 degree accompanied by: 8.4%. The rate of patients using water in burn is low (3.6%). The results show that burn with sufficient degree attained good results without operation. The patients with operating treatment showed 29.3% had result after 6 month and 27.3% after 12 month.

This study aims at evaluation of patients with traffic accident treated at Health Center Duc Pho - Quang Nam province. The number of patients with traffic accident increases yearly. 2041 patients with traffic accident had first aid and examined at Health Center Duc Pho - Quang Nam from 1996-2000, but 1554 patients treated. Male is more frequent than females (65.12% and 24.88%). The most patients are at the age of working (61.74%). The frequent time of traffic accident is on rush hour. The main causes of traffic accident are people who ride machine transports, especially the motor bike.

80 adult rats were divided into 2 groups of 60 rats before and 20 after kidney transplantion. Study showed that the changes of alkaline phosphatase in kidney before transplation trended to vary paralelly with warm ischemic time (WIT) and cold ischemic time (CIT) and the 5 times higher rate of perfusion than normal did not make the enzyme changed. Post transplantion kidney tissue alkaline phosphatase level varied in correlation with the active capacity of transplanted kidney. Blood creatinine level of the rats within a week after the transplantation has a negative variation with enzyme level

42 cases of renal calcul were treated by ESWL at Hue Central Hospital. Results showed that 10+/- 4 days after this intervention proteinury and hematury were negative, blood pressure to normal. These was no change of IVU before and after ESWL. All damages were disappeared two weeks after the operation. Excretory function of kidney was not affected by 6 times of lithotrypsia by this method.

Evaluate effects of analgesic acupuncture in extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in 60 patients (28 females, 32 males, median age: 41.9 years old) who had urinary stone treated at Clinical Research Center of Hue Medical College from 2001 November to 2002 January. Pain scale was evaluated by posture of ESWL, before and after ESWL. Results: there are significant differences between patients who were treated analgesic acupuncture and who were not. Analgesic acupuncture is effective pain relief method in ESWL. It has no side-effect, and is simple and safe method

30 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy, aged 69.2  8.58, at Hue Central Hospital were studied from November 2001 to April 2002. Disuria was the main symptoms, accounted for 60%. Ultrasound showed that 100% of cases had large size of the tumors with mean weight of 80.3  58.1g. Pre-operative indices were: bladder residual volume 207.5  139ml, urine voided time 43.7  19.4 seconds, voided volume 84.2  47.5 ml, mean flow of urine 2.5  1.93ml/second, and post-operative indices were 84.2  72.3ml, 40.1  21.8 seconds, 118.3  46.7 ml, 4.5  3.34 ml/second respectively

The chemical composition of 56 urinary stone samples was studied by X-ray diffraction at Hue Central Hospital and Hue College Hospital. All of stone contain calcium. The rate of calcium stone was 67.9%, The rate of struvite stone was 3.5%. The rate of calcium stone was 28.6%. The acid uric stone and cystein stone were not found. The rate of crystal in calci oxalate stone was: whewellite 68% ; weddellite 32%. The rate of crystals in stone: whewellite 98.2%; weddellite 46.4%; bassanite 10.7%; calcium glycerophosphate1.8%; magnesium acetate hydrate 1.8%

Study on 83 patients (36 males and 47 females, mean age: 41.2 ± 9.3) with 84 kidney stones with the size from 20-50mm treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy at Hue Medical College Hospital from 5/2001-5/2003. Stones located in renal pelvis in 52,2%, in upper renal calyces in 3.6%, in midle renal calyces 2.4%, in lower renal calyces in 28.5%. 65.5% of stones had identical optical density. Unltrasound found non-hydronephroid is 59.4%, hydronephroid degree I is 23.4%, hydronephroid degree II is 17.2%. The average duration for stone breaking was 4.5 ± 2.9 times per stone. Successful rate was 84.5%. Successful rate of stone breaking according to stone size: 91.8% with stones sized 20 to less than 30mm, 75% with 30 to less than 40mm and 0% with 40 - 50mm. Successful rate of stone breaking acording to stone localization: in renal pelvis 88.4%, in upper renal calyces 100%, midle renal calyces 100%, lower renal calyces 87.5%. The rate in pure calculus was 88.9% and half part staghorn calculus was 58.3%

Objective:Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) is endemic in poultry in Viet Nam. The country has experienced the third highest number of human infections with influenza A(H5N1) in the world. A study in Hanoi in 2001, before the epizootic that was identified in 2003, found influenza A(H5N1) specific antibodies in 4% of poultry market workers (PMWs). We conducted a seroprevalence survey to determine the seroprevalence of antibodies to influenza A(H5N1) among PMWs in Hanoi, Thaibinh and Thanhhoa provinces.Methods:We selected PMWs from five markets, interviewed them and collected blood samples. These were then tested using a horse haemagglutination inhibition assay and a microneutralization assay with all three clades of influenza A(H5N1) viruses that have circulated in Viet Nam since 2004.Results:The overall seroprevalence was 6.1% (95% confidence interval: 4.6–8.3). The highest proportion (7.2%) was found in PMWs in Hanoi, and the majority of seropositive subjects (70.3%) were slaughterers or sellers of poultry.Discussion:The continued circulation and evolution of influenza A(H5N1) requires comprehensive surveillance of both human and animal sites throughout the country with follow-up studies on PMWs to estimate the risk of avian–human transmission of influenza A(H5N1) in Viet Nam.

Background: Coordinating between soldiers and people bring significant results in protecting healthy for soldiers and people in malaria epidemic area.\r\n', u'Objectives: To evaluate epidemic supervision and propose solutions protecting healthy for soldiers and people in malaria epidemic area.\r\n', u'Subjects and methods: A retrospective cross sectional study was carried out on two provinces Binh Phuoc and Dak Lak\r\n', u'Results: there was 4 main disease types were fever, tuberculosis, diarrhea and malaria. Malaria at investigated times still accounted high rate comparing with general fever rate. Malaria risk contained in people living or working in forest and mountain field; free emigrants; armed forces and border guard. These subjects needed to improve regularly protection from malaria. Communication of health education is one of important method to prevent and control malaria.\r\n', u'Conclusion: It is necessary to implement strong methods (such as providing insecticide treated bed nets, indoor residual spray) to prevent and control malaria. \r\n', u'
