A comparison study was carried out on 1,242 medical records of pharyngolaryngeal disease among pediatric inpatients with ages of 1 -15 in Hue Central Hospital and 2852 medical records of pharyngolaryngeal diseases among pediatric inpatients with the same ages in Aue hospital, West Germany. Results showed that the pharyngolaryngeal diseases were leading diseases among diseases of ear, nose and pharynx in both hospitals. The rate of these diseases treated by operation in Aue hospital was higher than this in Hue hospital. There was difference of the morbidity rate between age groups. The rate of treatment of infection disease and infections complication in Hue hospital was higher than this in Aue hospital. The Aue hospital considered in prophylactic operation, diagnosis and rehabitation better than Hue hospital. There was no death in Aue hospital while there were 6 deaths in Hue hospital.

Results showed that ear diseases account for 6.1%, among them media otitis trended to increase with children age; deaf and dumb 0.2%, dull 0.1%. In the right ear and left ear the incidence of media otitis was similar. Hearing capacity was less sensitive if it has media otitis of both sides. In children, extern otitis was preponderant, while in adult the main problems were buzzed ear, hearing loss, drum membrane perforation, mainly in the centre, then in ¼ infero anterior and ¼ posterioinferior, chronic media otitis 97.75%, acute 2.25%.

PDP extracted and modified from natural material was administrated by oral on chickens, white mice, white rats and rabbits. The effect of PDP on biological behavior, body weight, some organ weights such as liver, spleen, kidney and heart; rate between above organ weight and their body weight; histology of the organs, the studied animals was investigated. It was found that the biological behavior of the experimental animals has not been affected by DPD. No any change of central nervous activation or inhibition has been seen. The body weight, the weight of liver, spleen, kidney and the rate between them were not changed, too. Using PDP for long time with planned doses did not cause any toxic effect to the animals, even it also improved the resistance to disease when they were fed by PDP

One method to determine the content of chitosan present in Pokysan cream has been developed. Chitosan was separated from Pokysan by dissolving the cream in acidic solution, extracted by chemical mixtures of I and II, which were prepared by laboratory of polymers in medico – pharmacy, and then collecting the precipitate of chitosan in the alkaline medium. This precipitate was then qualified by Lugol reagent and IR spectra. Collected chitosan precipitate was also qualified and quantified. These results proved that chitosan has been included in Pokysan cream and our method is confident

From 2000-2004, the authors examined medicament were imported and delivered in Lao Cai province to investigate quality of them. Results showed that: the rate of bad quality medicament was 4.9%, among which the rate of injection drugs was higher than tablet drugs. The domestic medicament had a bad quality was higher than imported medicament (5.3% vs. 3.2%, respectively). The bad quality rates of vitamins and tonic drugs were the highest (6.7%), antibiotics 2.6%. This rate in the mountain and rural areas was higher than that in the city.

The cross-sectional study was conducted on the ABO blood group of 833 medical students in Thai Nguyen. Using the standard blood serum which was produced by National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion. The data of study was analyzed by biological statistic method. Results: The percentage of ABO blood group of Kinh, Tay, Nung, San Diu, Muong minority students was the same in order of common rule: O>B>A>AB; The blood group of H’mong minority students had the percentage of ABO blood group different from the rule, in following order B> O> A> AB.
