The study was conducted on 82 simple goiter patients and 91 Basedow patients after at least one year using iodized salt daily. 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.

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.

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'

Chronic renal failure is a common syndrome with progressive nature. The treatment for this condition is considered difficult. Apart from clinical manifestations of chronic hyperuremia, this condition also associates with other disorders including glucid metabolic disorders. Out of 40 patients who were involved in this study, 57.5% were found to have an increase in blood sugar level and 12.5% have suffered from diabetes. There was no difference in the rate of dysglycemia between males and females. The result of study showed that glucose tolerance disorders associated with the severity of disease, especially during the third and fourth stages that accounted for 45%.

A retrospective study on the budget and fee utility for 1000 patients in Thuû nguyªn, Tiªn l·ng district hospital from March 1998 to April 1998 has shown that the state budget allocated for district hospitals mainly were low level (66% and 69% total budget of Thuû nguyªn and Tiªn l·ng, respectively). This did not facilitate to poor people who can receive the health services in district hospitals. There has not been the budget which allocated to poor people. And there has not been the equity in hospital fee between subjects with different income.

Background: Severe penetrating eye injury is a common emergency in ophthalmology. Objectives: The evaluation results and complications following vitrectomy in severe penetrating injury in children. Subjects and method: This study included 136 eyes with penetrating eye injury, who were treated at the Trauma department of National Institute of Ophthalmology, Hanoi \ufffd?Vietnam from 1999-2000. Vitrectomy was performed through the limbal and pars plana in 135 patients, 105 boys and 30 girls. Results: Remove intraocular foreign body: 11%, procedure for retinal detachments: 14%. The common functional success (visual acuity of 5/2000 or better) rate was 55,1%. Functional success: absent retinal detachment: 60,7%; present: 21,1%. Anatomic success rate was 66,2%. 4 eyes (2,9%) were eviscerated. Complications of the surgery were: iridocyclite, edema of the cornea, hemorrhage, hyphema. Conclusion:Vitrectomy techniques showed its good effect in treating penetrating eye injury in children. Presence retinal damage and endophthalmitis have significant effect on the final visual outcomes.

Background: Bacteria are among the common pathogens in Vietnam and other developing countries. Antibiotics are effective in the treatment, but the antibiotics gradually become ineffective due to drug resistance of bacteria, especially in children. The study on influenza virus in 2001-2003 has resulted in preventative activities against the acute respiratory tract infections in children.\r\n', u'Objectives: Determine the root cause bacterial infections and often determine the extent of antibiotic resistance of common pathogenic bacteria isolated in Hai Phong pediatric Hospital.\r\n', u'Subjects and method: At Microorganism Department of Hai Phong pediatric Hospital from January 2003 to December 2004, 558 trains of common pathogenic microorganisms were isolated from 0 -15 year old children clinical samples such as: blood, pus, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, stool...These samples of isolated microorganisms were also tested on their sensitiveness to several antibiotics.\r\n', u'Results:Findings showed that the 3 most frequently recognized bacterier out of 11 antibiotic sensitive tested species were: streptococcus pneumoniae (20.61%), neisseria (18.1%), E.coli (15.95%); and the most resisted antibiotics included: Co-trimoxazole, Chloramphenicol and Ampiciline. The staph was resistant to general Chlora, phenicol, Co-trimoxazol, and also sensitive to cefotacim, Amikacin. In the bacillus bacteria tested were resistant blue latex all, only works with Amikacin.\r\n', u'Conclusion: Its also found that every kind of tested bacterium had got various levels of sensitivity to different of antibiotics.\r\n', u'

System suitability tests are an integral part of liquid chromatographic technique. They are used to verify the resolution (R) and reproducibility of the analysis to be done. HPLC method for assaying the related substances test of Cefaclor in raw material as well as in pharmaceutical dosage forms introduced to some pharmacopoeia such as EP, USP need to use Delta- 3 cefaclor as the internal standard to verify the suitability of chromatographic system. In case of lacking it to use, Cephalexin can be used as the internal standard in place of Delta-3 cefaclor. cell
