The concept of nutraceutical food was introduced firstly in United State in 1989 by Stephen Defelice, the founder of the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine. It is defined as a product that considered as a food or a part of food, provided medical or health benefits, including disease prevention and treatment”. The health sector should review and re-evaluate the importance and potential of the nutraceutical food market and plan the development strategy for this novel avenue. The unique definition of nutraceutical product is needed. The Ministry of Health should direct the management of these products as medications rather than foods and the regulations of registration, labeling and take testing samples should be available

The surgical treatment of anal fissure involved the removal of ulceration, sphincter corpuscular open combining with anal mucosal plastic reconstruction as type Parnaud and Arnous and Lateral sphincter open as type of parks. It should limit spices such as chili, pepper and suck and clean the anus everyday with warm water and use of analgesic agents as form of Suppository.

New method of treatment of trigeminal neuralgia by percutaneous injection of boiling saline into the cavum trigeminale in replacement of the former Frazier’s operation. 71 cases with aged of 20-80 in which 69 cases the territories of the 2nd and the 3rd division of the 5th nerve were involved. The technique of the procedure is described in detail. It did not require stereotactic facilities or X-rays control of the position of the needle during its introduction intothe Meckel’s cave through the Foramen Ovale. One or two injections of 2 ml of boiling saline were necessary for an instant relief of pain. The major complications, well accept by the patients were: hypoesthesia of the affected hemiface and motor hemiparalysis of muscles of mastication, but in a lot of patients they were improving or subsided with the passing of time

A retrospective study was carried out on 120 patients with brain abscess treated at Cho Ray Hospital from Oct 2000 to Feb 2003. 91% patients were hospitalized on emergency. The patients were diagnosed easily and quickly brain abscess by CT. 80 patients (70.8%) underwent emergency surgeries and the commonest applied technique (73.3%) was punction and pus drainage. Antibiotic were indicated suitably for patients, corticoids were prescribed for 31.6% patients with severe brain edema, antiepileptic drugs were given for patients with convulsions. Twelve patients (10%) died because of too late hospitalizations with general complications and/or brain hernia. Patients with brain abscess were commonly arrived late; the majority of them were admitted on emergency. Although having CT for accurate diagnosis and surgery and new antibiotic generations, the mortality rate is still high

The authors report two races of Arachnoid cysts located at the septum Lucidum. The presenting signs are those of Intracranial hypertension with cephalalgia and disc edema of the retina. The diagnosis can only be made by CT scanner with a cyst having the same density as the ventricular cerebro spinal fluid, and located at the “septum lucidum” between the lateral ventricles-surgery by transcallosal approach is indicated when appears the intracranial hypertension syndrome.

Vascularized sural flap with distal pedicle is using for covering of soft tissue defect of the heel-ankle region, when there are no impossibility for the internal plantar flap. With the application on 9 patients, we have the incidence of : -Excellent result: 7- Good result: 2. We hope that we could have good appreciation in future after we have worked on many patients

55 patients with perforated duodenal ulceration received the vagotomy as method of Taylor. Patients admitted to hospital after perforation 12-14 hours. Patients had no shock, gastrointestinal bleeding or pyloric stenosid. The results have shown that the operation as method of Taylor and Hill barker did not increase the risks. There had no intraoperative and postoperative serious complications. The method maintains the motor function of stomach with latarjet stem. This was simple method that easy to implement.

A restrospective study on 484 patients with the perforated duodenal ulceration has shown that male/female:9/1, patients with ages of 20 -50: 77% (youngest: 14; oldest: 80), no history of the duodenal ulceration: 33.34%, operated prior to 12 hours from the first pain attack, premature ulceration: 24%, moderate fibrosis: 14%, corn fibrosis: 62%, possitive clotest: 83%, simple surgical: 70%, mortality rate: 1.5%, rupture in stitching position in the method of stitching the perforated position, relapsed rate of ulceration in the stitching the perforation position and removal surgery of 2/3 stomach, Xth nervecutting as method of TALOR and method of HILL-BARKER were 72%, 3.5%, 34% and 8%, respectively. This study indicated that it should radically operate in the first phase in order to reduce the patient‘s risk provided that having no risk factors.

The streptozotocin - induced diabetic mice (STZ 300mg/kg/ip), either the methanol extract of rhizomes of Smilax glabra Roxb. - Smilacaceae (SG) or the tolbutamid did not effect the blood sugar, one of the model of insulin - dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) with hypoinsulinemia. However, while tolbutamid coundn't decrease epinephrine - induced hyperglycemia in mice. SG suppressed partially this one. The result, suggested that SG reduced the blood sugar by an extra - pancreas mechanism
