The study was conducted in 82 simple goiter patients and 91 patients with Basedow’s disease after at least one year using iodized salt daily. The result showed:- The uptake of radioactive iodine (RAIU) by the thyroid gland of simple goiter and patients with Basedow’s disease decreased after 2 and 24 hours taking an oral dose of radioactive iodine, specially in simple goiter patients decreased 40-50%. -The serum concentrations of T3, T4, TSH were following: in simple goiter patients, the serum concentrations of T3 and TSH were little decreased and the T4 serum concentration was increased. However, all the values were still in the normal range of euthyroidism. In patients with Basedow’s diseased the serum concentrations of T3,T4,TSH have not been changed

The remedy Excoecaria cochinchinensis Lour. var. cochinchinensis (Euphorbiaceae) has been commonly used in folk medicine for the treatment of itches, furuncles, allergies. Previous reports have examined the chemical composition of the leaves, two compounds have been isolated and identified as gallic acid (FAD1) and ellagic acid (FAD 2). This study was carried out for the isolation and identification of the other chemical constituents. The leaves of E. cochinchinensis Lour. var. cochinchinensis were collected at Ha Noi city and Thai Binh province. The ethyl acetate extract of the leaves were successively chromatographed on silica gel G 60 and Sephadex LH-20 columns to afford two compounds named FAD 7 and FAD 8. The spectral analysis performed on EIMS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR has identified FAD7 as kaempferol 7-0-glycoside, and FAD 8 as kaempferol. These two flavonols were isolated from the leaves of the plant for the first time.

The results showed that the uptake of radioactive iodine (RAIU) by the thyroid gland of simple goiter and Basedow patients decreased after 2 and 24 hours taking an oral dose of radioactive iodine. Especially, the decrease was 40-50% in simple goiter patients. The concentration of T3, T4, TSH in the sera was as following: in the simple goiter patients, the concentrations of T3 and TSH were slightly decreased, and the T4 serum concentration was increased. However, all the values were still within the normal range of euthyroidism. In Basedow patients, the concentrations of T3, T4, and TSH have not changed.

Background: Lipid peroxidation is considered that is one of the causes of pathological processes. Green bean is not only a food of high economic value but also a good medicine. Objective: To investigate the effects of green bean on (1) the lipid peroxidation in mitochondria of rat liver cell, (2) the index in blood of rabbits exposed to radiation: the activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPx), concentrations of MDA and TAS. Subjects and methods: In vitro experimental model was used to estimate the effects of green bean on lipid peroxidation in mitochondria of rat liver and in vivo experimental model was used to investigate the effects of green bean on the activities of free radicals in blood of rabbits exposed to radiation. Results and Conclusions: (1) Total green bean decreased the lipid peroxidation in mitochondria of rat liver cell without dependence onagents induced lipid peroxidation such as Fe3+.ADP/NADPH or Cumene hydroperoxid, (2) Green bean concurrently inhibited the decreased activities of SOD, GPx, TAS and the increased concentration of MDA in blood of rabbits radiated with 5 Gy dose. \r\n', u'\r\n', u'\r\n', u'

The gastroduodenal ulceration is a common disease in which rate of duodenal ulceration was higher 4 times than gastric ulceration. The causes of ulceration were excessive acid, impairment of factors for mucosal protection and presence of H. pylori. 100 patients with duodenal ulceration diagnosed by histology and endoscopy with diameter of ulceration more than 0.5 cm were divided into 2 groups; group 1: patients used lanzor + amoxycilline + dimixen and group 2: patient used losec + amoxycilline + dimixen. After 1 month of the treatment, patients in two groups were well tolerated. The rate of pain relief, scar healing in the group 2 was better than these in the group 2. The side effects in the two groups were little. The rate of side effects in the group 2 was lower than this in the group 1.

Subject: patients with ages of 65 and lower from 1/3-15/4/1998 in Thñy nguyªn and Tiªn l·ng district hospitals, Hi phßng province. Method: cross sectional study; sample size: 1000 patients. Results: 10% patients with health insurance complain about the physician’s attitude in the out patient consultation where as no patients without health insurance complains about the physician’s attitude. In both hospitals, there are 50% out patient with health insurance and 10% in patients with health insurance who said that the prescribed drugs are mainly the domestic drugs, even not enough drugs so patients with health insurance must buy additional drugs

40 patients with hypertension according to the standard of JNC VI 1997 treated in the cardiovascular department of Friendship Hospital participated to a study. The results have shown that Dilatrend had a good hypotensive effect at dose of 12,5 mg /day (one tablet) for patients with hypertension in phase I or II. The drug remitted obviously the cardiac failure in patients with hypertension combining with the cardiac failure. The drug did not cause arrhythmia. There were no death and the hypertensive attack

36 patients with essential hypertension at grade I or II and ages of 60-84, treated by Hyperium at dose of 1-2 mg/day has shown that the drug reduced both diastolic and systolic blood pressure and did not cause the hematological and metabolic disorders. Therefore, Hyperium may be used for patients with grade I or II hypertension. However, it should further study on the larger number of patients and in long-term duration

32 patients (male: 21) with average ages of 62 (11,4, hypertension (systolic blood pressure: 180mmHg, diastolic blood pressure: 110 mmHg) received the sublingual captopril at dose of 25 mg. The hemodynamometery was implemented before and after 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes of using the drug. If the blood pressure was not reduced to wanted level, the patient indicated more one tablet. If the blood pressure did not reduce about 25%, patients will be treated by combination of captopril with other drugs. The results have shown that efficacy at dose of 25 mg, 15 cases, at dose of 50 mg: 12 cases; ineffect and poor effect: 5 cases. Initial time of effect: 7 (1.04 minutes after using; time for maximum effect: 61 (24.3 minutes after using. The study concluded that captopril can be used in the urgent hypertension

40 hypertension patients aged from 45-75 years, with the signs of thickening of left heart ventricle detected by radiography, ECG and ultrasound were enrolled in tis study. The control group includes 35 other patients with the same range of age and the same stage of hypertension without thickening of left heart ventricle. The authors didn’t find any relation between the thickening of left heart ventricle and arrhythmia.
