Study was carried out on 22 HBsAg positive outpatients (14 males and 8 females, over 19 years old), all of them hadn't received any drug for hepatitis and HBV vaccine, and were treated at Central Military Hospital 108. All patients were treated with syrup of Hebevera 40ml twice a day. Results: syrup of Hebevera had possibilities of clearing HBsAg, HBeAg in patients' serum, stimulating immune system to produce antiHBe, protecting hepatic cells against necrotic inflammation, normalizing high ALT and AST. Beside, syrup of Hebevera has broad indications, no side-effects, and easy to use

Study on 120 patients having ureterstonectomy and bladderstonectomy anesthesia with acupuncture anesthesia showed that: in group of acupuncture anesthesia combined with supporting medicines (AACSM) pulsation increased average 9 cycles per minute, systolic BP increased average 8 mmHg, breathing rhythm increased average 1 time per minute, oxygen saturation in blood of patient seem unchageable during the time of operation. The anesthesia level A and B were 86.7%, the same for group of SA (90%). After acupuncture anesthesia, pain threshold of patient in AACSM group were 2.23 (K=2.23) higher than those of patient in group applying acupuncture anesthesia with out supporting medicine (K=1.95).

A study performed on 120 patients who underwent a gastric surgery under an anesthesia with associsted acupuncture. The indicators of pulse, blood persure, breathing rhythms, blood saturation of oxygene were increased correspondly in comparing with those before the surgery. Immediately first after the operation, these indicators returned to normal level. 30 min after the acupuncture anesthesia, endomorphine level enhanced by 163%, acetycholine by 237,59%…i.e higher in blood than that before the acupuncture.

MEIA method was applied to determine the change of serum cancer antigene level of scale cell cancer (SCC) in 32 healthy control subjects, 32 patients with cervical fibrous tumor, 78 patients of cervical cancer prior and post-radiation in Ha Noi K Hospital. Results: resum level of SCC enhanced by > 2-10 mcg/L in 63.8% cervical cancer patients, > 10 mcg/L did not determined in patient of cervical fibrous tumor; in cervical cancer, SCC serum level higher obviously than cervical fibrous tumor patients (10.6523.31 mcg/L versus 0.710.64 mcg/L with p<0.001). After irradiation, serum SCC level decreased obviously (10.6523.31 mcg/L versus 1.742.35 mcg/L with p<0.001). Serum SCC can be used for differenciating cervical cancer and cervical fibrous tumor and monitoring the response to the irradiation on patients with cervix scale cell cancer

This study compared goitre surgery in 100 patients with anesthesia acupuncture with 55 patients with cervical plexus superficial anesthesia. The studied patients were between 30-50 year old with goitres classified from II to IV degree, in which III degree goitres were prevalent (67%). The acupuncture points GI4, PC6, TR17 and ST12 were applied. 92% of cases were assessed to attain the A level of anesthesia, the remains were the B level. The anesthesia acupuncture exhibited more effectively in small goitres than in big ones (the anesthesia A level was 100% of cases of II degree goitre operation, whereas was only 66.7% in anesthesia acupunture for IV degree goitre operation), independing on the nature of goitres. The anesthesia acupuncture induced an anesthetic outcome better than cervical plexus superficial anesthesia

Electro acupuncture one time and eight times in and out of GB 20 on 55 healthy persons with ages from 20 to 27 showed that: There is no changing of frequency, amplitude and wave of EEG index when electro acupuncture out of GB 20. Electro acupuncture GB 20 make changing of frequency, amplitude and wave of EEG index. After electro acupuncture, Alpha wave index average increased 14%, amplitude increased 4μV. Beta wave index decreased 2%, amplitude decreased 3μV. Theta and delta wave index decreased 4% amplitude decreased 3μV.

By1 time and 8 times , electroacupuncture (EA) was performed in and out of Phongtri site (GB20) of 55 healthy persons aged 20-27 years. Out of GB20, EA did not make frequency, amplitude and EEG indices changed in comparing with those before acupuncture, while in GB20 site, EA created the changes in frequency, amplitude and EEG indices in occipital and temporal areas. Upon EA , alpha wave index increased in average 14%, amplitude increased by 4 microV; beta wave index reduced by 2% in average, amplitude reduced by 3 microV. After electro- acupuncture theta and delta waves reduced 4% in average and amplitude reduced 3 microV in average

95 patients with hemiplegia due to cerebrovasculary accident (32 females, 63 males) treated by 30days of electro- acupuncture. Results were as follow: thumb of simple paralysis had got rehabilitation better than the paralysis in combining with edema and contracted thumb. The sooner treatment,the better result got. The increasing level of mobility at 3a degree reached 36% and 3b degree 33,2%

Background: to assess the disturbances of blood gases in the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), ventilation function was explored and blood gases were measured in 68 patients (mean age: 65.923.8) with COPD consisting of 40 males (58.8%) and 28 females (41.2%). Results: a large number of the patients hospitalized at late stages (32.35% at stage 1.25% at stage II and 42.5% at stage III). The main disturbance of blood gases in patients with COPD at stage I was a trivial PaO2 reduction with/ or without PaCO2 increase, on the contrary, the main disturbances of blood gases in those at stages II and III were severe exacerbation with a mixed feature (PaO2 reduction and PaCO2 increase). In the patients with COPD at stage I, PaO2 and PaCO2 did not significantly change (p>0.05); but there were significant disturbances in PaO2 and PaCO2 values in those at stages II and III (p<0.05). Conclusion: The result suggest that COPD should be identified, treated and managed at early stage because the chances of a fatal outcome are greater at late stage and, blood gases should be determined only at stage II and III COPD.
