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 ThaiNguyen Central General Hospital some cerebro-vascular complications were studied. Common risk factors leading to complications were: Hypertension with the highest incidence of 78,5%, lipidemia disorder 53,9%, alcoholism 26,9%, tabagism 21,4%, catching a cold 16,4%, transient ischaemia 14,8%, familly factors10,9%, heart diseases 8,2%, stress 5,4% and diabetes 3,8%.

62 people (124 eyes) age from 21 to 49 (35 males, 27 females) are divided into 2 groups: in the first group 18 objects (36 eyes) with conjunctivitis, in the second group 44 objects (88 eyes) without conjunctivitis. All objects have taken Shirmer test (I and II), BUT, test of Rose-bengal and fluorescein. All are applied with Sanlein (Santen Agency). And those tests are measured after 1 and 3 months. Results: The Shirmer I and II, and BUT in the group 2 is higher than in the group 1, though BUT of both groups is at under normal level. Test of Rose-bengal 1 and 2 in group 1 is higher than in group 2. The intergrity of epithelial cells is also changed. Tear secretion of both groups at normal physiological level. Sanlein has good effect, partially improves tear indicator

Two spectices of health Rabbit weighing 1,8-2,5 kg were descriptive in comparing before and after studying. Oral administration with "thap toan dai bo" pills- a traditional medicine, in experimental showed that the pill haft an effect to vary some biochemical indices of rabbit. However these variation did not influence on the normal metabolism of the animal as well as on the biochemical function, for instance in glucose with the comparative coefficients of P>0,05, proted P>0,05 and some other indices of chlolesterol, triglycerid… with P>0,05. These comparative coefficient had not statistical significance.

In October 2002, a study was carried out in 2 communes Dan Tien and Cuc Duong, Vo Nhai district, Thai Nguyen province, concerning the knowledge and practice of reproductive health care in married womens, aged 15-49 years old. Almost pregnant women were aware that it takes 3 times to frequent the maternal clinics, to give breast feeding early immediately after child birth, and the breast feeding prolonged enough. However, in practice, only 75.6% and 78.1% in 2 above mentioned communes respectively. Pregnant women underwent the pregnancy examination and had got 3 times enough to get examination in the whole their pregnant period. 50% and 52% pregnant women had been given antitetanic infection in their pregnant period. 46% and 31% had had proper breast feeding, 84.7% and 61.3% gave birth in state health institutions.

Object: workers of Cua Lo, Ben Thuy port, mechanics enterprise, work enterprise and port’s office. Method: intersect description. Result: About working environment, there are 18,4% samples not get hygiene standard, 53,2% dust samples over hygiene standard ( 2 to 12 times). 71,0% worker are working in having dust environtment. 31,2% use glass and 22% use eye drug when working. Eye disease status: 90,0% have symptom in eye, 69,6% catch eye disease. Preventive treatment has signigicant result

Study on the extract of Morinda citrifolia (MC) fruit with the ratio of 5:1 (1g extract was prepared from 5g of dried MC fruit) in order to determine the effects of extract on radiation-induced immunosuppressive mice. The results showed that: oral administration of this extract with daily dose of 6 g/kg in 9 consecutive days (3 days before and 6 days during receiving gamma ray) has increased the relative weight of spleen and thymus, total leukocyte count, number of lymphocytes, natural killers and monocytes, rate of immune rosette forming cells, hemolytic halo, and the skin test with OA antigen, compared with the mice group that has been only received gamma ray without drug

A study on the effects of Morinda citrifolia (MC) extract on the isolated blood vessels and water-electrolyte excretion by Lipschitz method. Results: MC in both concentrations of 1.25% and 2.5% had a vascular dilating effect of the rabbit ears without change vasoconstriction effect of adrenalin with concentration of 1/10 000. By oral administration, MC in doses of 0.3g, 0.6g and 0.9g/kg body weight increased the elimination of Na(+), K(+), Cl(-), but did not influence the elimination of Ca++ and urine amount at the rest time

In this prospective randomized controlled study, a total of 70 patients (76 eyes) diagnosed with acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction operated by DCR with intraoperative mitomycin C 0.4mg/ml appication to the osteotomy site for 3 minutes. The results of the DRC surgeries were evaluated by objective findings such as irrigation, height of tear meniscuc, ostium size and subjective symptoms. Among the 76 eyes, 96% of patiets remained total symptoms free after 6 months of follow up. Mean ostium size 2.861 (0,785mm. There were no complications such as abnormal nasal bleeding, mucosal necrosis or infection

The authors evaluated the efficacy of cromal in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. Method: 30 patients (28 males, 12 females) were assigned in two groups: group1:14 patients with seasonal allergic conjuntivitis; group2: 24 patients with vernal keratoconjuntivitis. In a double masked random design, the patients of each group were received cromal eye drops or NaCl 0.9%. Results: eyes treated with cromal eye drops in two groups showed an amelioration of the sign and symptoms of disease compared with eyes received only NaCl 0.9%. Conclusion: cromal seems to be effective in treatment of allergy.
