30 patients aged 13-65, ASA 2,3 underwent an anesthesia for openly operating because of the morbidity of valve, coronary arteries, interauricle communicatio, inter-ventricle communicatio. Results showed obvious changes of heart rate before and after the anesthesia, blood pressure had got little diagnostic values, oxygene saturations was improved dramatically. Low circuit anesthesia with modern apparatus and monitoring with completed parameters was an anesthetic method of high safety, efficacy low cost, with a stabilized hemodynamics, adequate supplying of oxygene, without CO2 accumulation in the blood

Study on 72 typical hyperplasia patients, preservative drug treatment with progestin (Organmetril). The subjects were detailed examined, then were implemented exploratory tests, treated and followed-up regularly 3-6 months. Results: hyperplasia was common disease in all of aged of woman’s fertilizable period, with non-ovule menstruation cycle, specially in peri-menopause. Clinical feature was menorrhagia. To diagnose exactly, medical professionals required to combine exploratory methods as vaginal cytology, mucosal uterus ultrasound, uterus chamber endoscopy, ana-pathology of mucosal uterus piece,… in which ana-pathology of mucosal uterus piece had the most important role.

Report one case of a 52 years old male patient who lived in Vinh Long province, admitted at January 27th 2005. Patient was treated first aid at Vinh Long Hospital, and then he was operated at the Department of Neurosurgery of People’s Hospital No 115. CT scan found large supratentorial infarction accounted for 3/4 of right hemisphere area that adequate with the supplying blood area of media cerebral artery, and imagine of temporal lobe herniation , subfalcial herniation. Patient was intensively treated by anti-cerebral edema and was conducted hematological tests. Then he was indicated decompressive surgery. Results of CT scan after 24 hours after operation showed that the middle line was regained more, brain delivered cerebral notch. One week after operation, patient was conscious, GCS=15, left hemiplegia, muscle power=2/5. Patient discharged after 10 days with GOS=4, and was intended treating by auto-grafting after 3 months

A gynecological study on 548 married women at reproductive ages living in Tien Phuoc district, Quang Nam province showed that: among them 207 women had infections of the lower congenital-urinary tract (37.77%). Pathogenic agents: 99.52% of the cases were a single agent with such as bacteria 70.53%, Candida albicans 25.12%; Trichomonas vaginalis 3.86%. There was one case of infection caused by two different agents, bacteria and Candida albicans. There were 117 cases (56.53%) with clinical lesions including: 30.91% cervicitis with glandular epithelial eversion, 21.26% purely cervicitis, 36.68% of the women had abnormal leukorrhea of which 21.90% was pus-like leukorrhea.

44 patients of chronic B hepatitis are divided into two groups of 22 patients. The one is treated with lamivudine (Jefflix) 100 mg daily in 12 months continuously and the other with usual vitamin and liver tonics. Results showed in 72.7% patients of lamivudine group, the indices of histological activities were improved (through Knodell score), while in controlled group – 31.8% and over the half of this group these indices worsened. Thus, lamivudine has got good effect

The influence of the drying method on the diosgenin yield in rhizomes of some species of Dioscorea L. have been studied. The result showed that the suitable methods were to sun or to dry these rhizomes at a temperature of 50 - 60oC in dryer with fan. These methods are able to be applied in pharmaceutical industry

Saturated fatty acid with 12-16 carbon and trans- monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) have stimulating effects while polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and cis-MUFA have inhibiting effects on atherogenesis. Besides, n-3 PUFA shows its effective antithrombogenesis. For the prevention of cardiovascular disease in Vietnamese people, the indices of atherogenesis and thrombogenesis, as well as the n-6/n-3 ratio of Vietnamese diet had better to be recommended to reduce by higher consumption of fishes, vegetable oils rich in n-3, algae and plankton.
Cardiovascular Diseases ; Fatty Acids

The dietary fat and fatty acid influenced the process of arteriosclerosis and thrombosis. Current Vietnamese diet contains the low fat and protein, and high salt and carbohydrate. In order to prevent from arteriosclerosis and thrombosis, it should strengthen the fat in the diet concomitantly improve the quality of fat as trend of reduction of AI, TI index and n-6/n-3 ratio.

A total of 200 pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli collected on diarrhoea patients at the hospital BachMai, DongDa and DongAnh in Hanoi were studied.By multiplex PCR assay, genes of various toxicity levels were determined on 5 pathogenic E coli: 2 EPEC, 5 ETEC , 8 EAEC. There were 15 strains in which, pathogenic genes of E.coli causing diarrhoea which accounted for 7,5%.In comparing the multiplex PCR technique and simplex PCR technique, results were the same
