The rate of positive antinucleus antibody in SEL is 66.67%, anti ds DNA – 60.92% with the technique of indirect fluorescein using basal subtract as antigene Crithidia lucilae and Hep-2 cells. The value of immunological examination contributes to early diagnosis of SLE with the rate of 83.91%, helping to follow the progress of condition during the management

The detection of structural ARN in ribosom-16sr RNA existing in living M.leprae has the value of valuating the efficacy of the treatment and make prognosis of the recurrence . NASBA is performed on 91 samples of biopsy of ear tissue of 2 groups of patients immediately after the treatment of the group I and 5 years after the treatment of the group II. In group I, the positive rate of NASBA is 1/29 and in group II is 3/62. All patients with positive NASBA are in the group of numerous bacilli (MB). In finishing the treatment, there is only 1 patient of MB group who has positive NASBA. Among 60 patients who finishes multichimiotherapy, after 5 years there are 3 patients with positive NASBA

In the year 2000-2001 period, at Bach Mai Hospital, 1.480 patients underwent a measuring of pulmonary ventilation function, among them 65% were under 50 years old and male/female ratio was 1:3. Initial diagnosis was bronchus asthma in 36.2%, acute bronchitis 15.4% and lung tumor 12.9%, COPD and chronical bronchitis 14.2%. In 77% of cases, FEV1 <80%. In 72% of cases, VC<80%. In 26.4% of cases, there were obstructive nervous disturbance with Tiffeneau <70%, among them 98.2% of cases were at least in medium severe level with FEV1<80%.

138 patients (102 males, 36 females) aged 3-71 years old with 139 deficiencies of various causes in inferior limbs underwent a surgery of free flap transfer with 144 free flaps. Survived rate reached 134/144 flaps (93.05%), full necrosis in 10/144 flaps (6.95%). All cases were sucessfully operated exculding 5/10 cases of second time transfer. Near possible complications such as obstruction of the arterial connection of 4 flap-connect sites, obstruction of the venous connection of 6 flap sites, obstruction of venous-arterial connection of 2 sites, necrotic infection in 1 flap.

After a 4 weeks of treatment by propyl thyouracil, the biochemical indices of Basedow disease had changed obviously: triiodothyronin (T3) high level (7.95 ± 1.58 nmol/l before treatment) had increased dramatically (1.98 ± 0.54 nmol/l), total thyroxin (T4) high level (257.56 ± 47.45 nmol/l before treatment) had decreased dramatically (1278.04 ± 10.82 nmol/l). FT4 serum level high level had decreased after treatment. TSF low level before treatment had increased. But after treatment glucose level had increased unsignificantly versus that before. In severe condition blood cholesterol had increased, but in moderate and mild condition, there was no change.

In 1991-1998 year period, 50 nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) patients (divided into 2 groups: case group and control group) were treated by phylamin. Good results were manifested, patient resistance capacity enhanced in the course of irradiation, reduced the prosibility of development of communicable disease by 2.5 times. Patients had weight gain, maintaining their working productivity and selt service capacity. 3 years survival duration had got 77% in case group, while 40% in control group.
