1.Anaerobic bacterial infected incision in some hospital
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):37-38
A study on the postoperative patients in the Thai Nguyen central hospital, Ha Tay general hospital has shown that the rate of anaerobic bacterial infected incisions was 55-71%. The common bacterials infected comprised S. aureus (35.87%), E. coli (14.13%). E. spp (11.96%), P. aeruginosa (10.87%) and other bacterials (1.09-5.43%).

2.Situation of bacterial infection in hand of health staffs
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):7-9
An epidemiological study on the bacterial infection in hand of health staffs in Thai Nguyen and Ha Tay hospital has shown that 14.04-33.33% of surgeon's hands infected. 100% of hands of technicians infected when starting distribution of bandage. The number of microbials were direct proportional with the temperature and humidity.

Purpose:
Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended to identify intracranial lesions in girls with central precocious puberty (CPP). Yet, the use of routine MRI scans in girls with CPP is still debatable, as pathological findings in girls 6 years of age or older with CPP are limited. Therefore, we aimed to identify the prevalence of brain lessons in CPP patients stratified by age group (0–2, 2–6, and 6–8 years).
Methods:
This retrospective cross-sectional study recruited 257 girls diagnosed with CPP for 6 years (2010–2016). MRI was used to detect brain abnormalities. Levels of luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and sex hormones in blood samples were measured.
Results:
Most girls had no brain lesions (82.9%, n=213), and of the minor proportion of girls with CPP that exhibited brain lesions (17.1%, n=44), 32 girls had organic CPP. Pathological findings were detected in 33.3% (2 of 6) of girls aged 0–2 years, 15.6% (5 of 32) of girls aged 2–6 years, and 3.6% (8 of 219) of girls aged 6–8 years. Hypothalamic hamartoma and tumors in the pituitary stalk were the most common pathological findings. The likelihood of brain lesions decreased with age. Girls with organic CPP were more likely to be younger (6.1±2.4 vs. 7.3±1.3 years, p<0.01) than girls with idiopathic CPP.
Conclusion
Older girls appeared to have a lower prevalence of organic CPP. Clinicians should cautiously use cranial MRI for girls aged 6–8 years with CPP.
