Investigating qualitative process of amphetamines in the narcotic sample gathered from narcotic drug cases in South cities and provinces by the color reactions, the thin layer chromatography or the gas chromatography. Result: most of amphetamines were under tablet form and a small number of them under powder or crystal form. Outside features was basic to test tablet and orientation for analysis. Methamphetamine content in S3, S5, S7, and S8 were relatively low (5.14-30.26mg/tablet). Methamphetamines content in S1 was high (64.46%). MDMA content in S2, S4, S6, S9, and S10 were relatively high (93.74-149.70mg/tablet). Application gas chromatography in quantification methamphetamine, MDMA that were agents commonly used in unlawful market in South provinces

Investigating 103 intoxicated patients admitted to our dep. Reanimation and Emergency from 1st Jan1998 to 31stNov 1999, we remarked almost were males, aged between 16-30 years. Main drugs using were opium or opium residue by intravenous use. The frequent symptoms of acute drug poisoning were miotic 100%, coma status 79.61%, respiratory arrest 66.99%, and bradycardia 41.75%. Positive HIV in 12 persons (11.56%). Narcotic poisoning was severe. Early, active, appropriate treatments rapidly eliminated poisoning status after 1-3 hours with the death rate of 6.8%.

At the emergency Department of Thanh Nhan Hospital from Jan 1998 to Nov 1999, 103 cases (95.15% male and 86.41% aged 16-30) of acute intoxication of drug were studied, 7.67% subjects originated from Ha Noi and 22.33% from different provinces. The rate of urban origin accounts for 85.44%, rural 14.56%. In the year 1999, acute drug intoxicated subjects who admitted to this hospital were 1.71 times higher versus the year 1998, and the most common number concentrated on the months 8, 7, 3, 2, 11, 10. Labourers without permanent jobs occupy 8.58%, student 10.68% of the total subject. 94.18% of case had an addictive duration above 1 year, 85.44% using venous injectable opium and its decant, 14.56% using inhaled heroin

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to compare the levels of pain intensity and pain relief between cancer patients and nursing records, and to compare the barriers to pain control between cancer patients and their nurses. METHODS: Data were collected from 90 cancer patients who were admitted to three oncology wards and 90 oncology nurses in the same three wards at C University Hospital in G City from July to September, 2012. RESULTS: The most severe pain intensity reported by cancer patients was 6.59 points on the first day of analgesic treatment, while that of their nursing records was 3.98 points on the first day. There were significant changes in pain intensity over time between two groups (F=142.07, p<.001). The highest level of pain relief reported by patients was 2.87 points on the third day, while that of nursing records was 1.67 points on the first day. The score for the social system area of barriers to pain control among the nurses was higher than that of cancer patients (t=-3.69, p=.021). CONCLUSION: Nurses need to frequently check and to be sensitive to cancer pain. Furthermore, the administrative procedures of narcotic analgesics need to be simplified.

Following results were obtained through comparative investigation between lumbar and posterior vertical incision in the intrasinusal pyelolithotomy on the 28 cases of renal stones. 1. There was no difference in operation time between lumbar and posterior vertical incisions for renal stones. 2. Blood loss during operation by posterior vertical incision, as compared with lumbar incision, was reduced to a half. 3. While narcotic analgesics were used postoperatively in whole cases of lumbar incision, mild narcotic analgesics were used in a few cases of posterior vertical incision. But there was no necessity of the use of narcotic analgesics in whole cases of posterior vertical incision. 4. There was no difference in the degree of postoperative urine leakage between lumbar and posterior vertical incisions for renal stones. 5.In the posterior vertical incision for renal stones, as compared with lumbar incision, postoperative ambulation day was reduced to a half and postoperative hospitalization period was also shortened to one third. Considering above mentioned results in the posterior vertical incision operative in vasion was minimal by approach into retropritoneal space without cutting muscle layers, in addition early ambulation and discharge were possible. Especially by performing intrasinusal pyelolithotomy in the state of pyelolithotomy in situ, reoperation was possible in the case of recurrence of stones. I think posterior vertical incision seems to be a reasonable method for surgical management of renal stones.
