A study on the process of treatment of 40 patients with the nephritic syndrome, without the renal failure by prednisolone from 12/1996 to 5/1998 has shown that 100% patients had a high increased concentration of total cholesterol (CT) and low density lipoprotein (LDL); 90% patient had an increased concentration of triglyceride (TG) and 15% patient had an increased concentration of high density lipoprotein (HDL); 100% patients had an increased concentrations of proteinuria over 3.5 g/24 hours. After 2 weeks of treatment, the concentrations of CT, LDL, TG were reduced but were not significant different from these in baseline. The proteinuria was reduced to 40%; concentration of HDL was gradually increased. Their reductions were significant different from these before treatment but risks were high. 75% patients had negative proteinuria.

Dyslipidemia is very common in nephrotic syndrome, but in clinical practice this problem is not much interested in, although hyperlipidemia can make dangerous complications for the patients. This study examined the variety of dyslipidemia after steroid treatment in patients with nephrotic syndrome but without renal failure. We studied on 40 patients with nephrotic syndrome at HuÕ Central Hospital and found that before treatment, total cholesterol and LDL concentrations are high. After two-week therapy, these concentrations decreased but insignificantly. After four-week therapy, total cholesterol and LDL concentrations decreased, HDL concentration increased. There was significant difference in comparison with the pre-treated concentrations (p<0.05).

The Biomedical Laboratory Center of Hanoi Medical University was established in January 17th 1997 and comprises 4 small labors: the functional tests; biochemical; immunology and genetic. According to its functions and tasks, the labor has human resources with the high technical and scientific levels. This resource originated from the faculties of Hanoi Medical University. This is an activity pattern which is suitable and convenient for staffs and students in the university.

The chemical composition of essential oil of Zanthoxylum nitidum DC. from Thanh Hoa has been studied by combination of capilary GC and and found to contain 50 components, 40 of which have been identified. The major ones being beta-caryophyllene (24.6%), y- elemene (14.7%), bicyclogermacrene (12.9%). From the leaves of Zanthoxylum nitidum DC. were isolated stigmasterol and dihydrokaempferit. Its structure were elucidated by EI-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR

The diagram of immune system with antigene was the toxic extract from the repeating stage, making the rough serum up to the lowest of 150 Lf/ml (or 210IU/ml) and applied the method of taking horse’s blood and giving back red blood cells to increase the the rough serum two times. The new process did reduce the level fN-protein, time and increase the quantity and productivity of the purified serum. The purified serum was of high quality: clear color, low level of N-protein to 30% compared with registered standard (150mg/ml).

There are some problems in the postpartum requiring knowledge, attitude and practice of the mothers to take care themselves. Objectives: to describe knowledge, attitude and practice of mothers on postpartum care at Chi Linh district, Hai Duong province in 2003. Subjects: 195 mothers in postpartum period. Method: crossectional study of the knowledge, attitude and practice on postpatum care. Result: 40% of mothers have good knowledge on postpartum care and 57.4% lack of knowledge on FP in the postpartum period. 50.7% and 59.5% of mothers declaired that it is necessary to use iron and vitamin A in the postpartum period. In fact the percentage of mothers who using vitamin A was 57.4%. The percentage of mothers were using contraceptives was 42.1%.

An investigation of malaria was performed in 1083 women from 18 – 35 years old in Daklak province. The results showed that: a low malaria prevalence among women confirmed by microscopy and Parasight-F(+), accounting for 0.27%, of which the prevalence of pregnant women was 28%, postnatal women was 0.25% and women of reproductive age (non-pregnant) was 0.60%. Anemia prevalence among women was relatively high, accounting for 45% with predominantly slight anemia (severe anemia was found to be only 2%). The risk of malaria contracting among women at different stages of pregnancy has not been assessed due to the low malaria parasite prevalence needing further studies

Process of nuclear magnetic resonance is a chain of interactions relate to magnetic nucleus, magnetic fields, pulses, and signals of frequent wave energy. Materials involved magnetic resonance had to include special magnetic properties, typically 1H proton, to interact with magnetic fields these nucleus must have properties as small magnets and as magnetic moment. Frequent wave signal strength were generated from tissues by these nucleus is an important factor of high quality images. It is important for clinical practices during studying the nature of tissues or fluid of body by MRI
