The cross-sectional descriptive study was performed at Hospital K from January 1995 to December 1999 on 171 patients with gastric cancer. Among them, 110 had had fully information about their status. 31% had got 5 years old survival ability with the mean survival duration of 40 months. Post operative prognostic significant factors: the level of invasion of tumor, 5 years old survival ability minimized progressively from T1 to T4 reached 100%, 39%, 18% and 0%, glandular metastasis and distant meastasis which affected to survival duration; the tumor of a size < 5cm had got better prognosis versus that of > 5cm of size and 10cm of size; prognosis was better with higher differentiated type of cells than those of lower defferentiated type; prognosis was better in intestinal type than in dispersing type. The age, the gender, the weight loss were not related to postoperative survival duration.

Matching the endoscopic diagnosis and anapathological damage of 130 patients with gastric cancer treated at K Hospital from September 2002 to September 2003. There was a high concidence of the diagnostic locality in endoscopic observation and the post operative analysis of the sample taken at the antrum: endoscopic observation 48.2%, pathological anatomy 48.9%. At the small curvature 24.5% and 25.1%. Anterior pulory and pulory 14.3% and 15.1% respectively. The rate of diagnostic concidence was 98%, 97% and 95%. The rate of diagnostic accuracy of endoscopy attained 74.8% anf of histopathologic diagnostic accuracy attained 85.6% through endoscopic biopsy.

The atherosclerosis related diseases are increasingly in Vietnam. The level of risk of each was calculated by many ways: basing on the computer program, table of risk forecast of America cardiovascular association, table of self mark including smoking, blood pressure, body weight, family history, diabetes, exercise and stress.

Sexual activity is a mild effort; this effort intensity is harmless for most cardio vascular patients. With some carefulness, people with cardio vascular problems can have relative normal sexual life and avoid negative mood. Oxygen consumption in sexual activity is approximately 3-4 MET (MET is defined as oxygen demand in resting status, equivalent to 3.5mlO2/kg/min, or 1.2cal/min or 18w) or 630-840ml/min for a 60-kg person.

In the 7th report of International Committee on prevention, detection, evaluation and treatment of hypertension has collected all studies from 1997 to 2003. Classification of hypertension: prehypertension, prehypertension in stage, prehypertension in 2 stage. It is better to use stethoscope for measure blood presure. Content of checking hypertension patients: find out the reason for hypertension, calcutate BMI, hear blood pulse in neck, stomach, groin, examination of nerve system, ECG, urine test and blood test. Treatments: control life style, diuretic, block /beta, block Ca channel, block /alpha, educate for patients

In 35 heart failure patients (20 male, 15 female with average age 48±6) in the Hospital 103 from November 2001 to May 2002 the study was carried out. Doppler ultrasound on the heart identified high systolic pressure of pulmonary artery (SPPA). One sublingual capsule of nitroglycerin (0.5 mg) exested a decrease of SPPA in heart failure patient with high SPPA within 5, 10, 15 , 30 and 1 hour. The preparation was well tolerable, with no significant side effects

JNC VI was the sixth report of the National Program of Hypertension Education in America. There were some differences from previous reports including reduction of body weight, and alcohol consumption, exercise, reduction of salt (less than 100 mmol), adequate complement of calcium and Magnesium, stop smoking, reduction of saturated fat and cholesterol. The blood pressure must be less than 140/90. The treatment involved the risk factors and using the diuretics and beta-blockers.
