1.Intoxication of rotunda
Journal of Medical Research 1998;8(4):3-5
A retrospective study on 63 patients (male: 14, ages of 11-40) suffered intoxication of rotunda in B¹ch Mai hospital from January to May 2002 has shown that the overdose of rotunda can cause the bradycardia, tachycardia, electrocardiogram changes such as negative T, ST change, especially disorder of depolarization, change of T wave, ST wave, ST wave QTc length in many days. The lowest dose caused side effects was 30 mg. The dose of 2400mg of rotunda causes death due to the apnea.

4.The food intoxication - situation and solution
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2001;(11):6-8
The food intoxication has impacted badly on the human health and economy. Every year, the rate of the food intoxication was very high such as in America (175/1000 rehabitant), England and New Zealand (190/1000), Australia (220/1000). In Vietnam, there are about 7,000 cases suffered the food intoxication with 46 deaths in 60/61 provinces in 1997. This paper introduced the concerns and solution for management of the food intoxication.

6.Carbonoxyd intoxication due to the exhaustion-health situation and prevention
Journal of Practical Medicine 1998;346(3):31-32
Carbonoxyd generated from uncompleted fire of organic products. There were two pathological conditions of carboneoxyd (C) intoxication, including acute intoxication: patients were unconscious after inhaling only 1-2 times and the chronic intoxication was common in which patients experienced headache and nausea... the occupational diseases were increasingly because of the environmental pollution was increasing. This study introduced some preventive solutions such as good waste disposal, reduction of traffic facilities and smoking. It should use the antitoxic mask and examine the health periodically.

7.Investigation on the impact of pesticides on exposed persons in Tien Giang, Can Tho, Khanh Hoa and Thua Thien - Hue (1996
Journal of Preventive Medicine 1999;10(2):54-51
Results obtained from the investigation showed that: the management of pesticides in Tien Giang, Can Tho, Khanh Hoa and Thua Thien - Hue provinces is not properly. The farmers keep pesticides in their houses (90.8%). High percentage of exposed farmers have poisoning symptoms/signs. From 1993 to 1996 there were 4.899 cases of pesticide poisoning among them 286 died, 98% used pesticides for their suicide. We have made some practical recommendations for the prevention of poisoning and health protection for farmers.

8.Intoxication in workers at a pesticide company in Tien Giang province between 1995-1999
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2002;12(2):72-76
In our retrospective study on the contamination of pesticides during 1995-1999, mainly depending on cholinesterase index in blood, 101 workers were interviewed directly by available questionnaire. The results showed that 60 cases of contamination were discovered, this prevalence decreased gradually every year, there were 4 cases (3.96%) in 1999. The types of intoxication were changed little by little from the organic phosphorum to perythroid. The protection and occupational safe and hygiene had been given much attention and brought into play of the preventive effects

9.Study on utilization of gel activated charcoal in the management of acute poisoning.
Journal of Medical Research 2002;19(3):45-51
The combinations of gel activated charcoal and sorbitol in rational proportion (product name: Antipois- Bachmai) were given for 91 patients with ingestion-induced poisoning as protocol of Bachmai Poison Control Center. 76 cases (83.5%) were admitted before 6 hours and 85 cases (93.4%) before 12 hours. 66 patients (72.5%) were given 1 dose, 93.4% were given less than 3 doses, and in 2 patients (2.2%), 6 doses have been used. Antipois-Bachmai was used conveniently. Deposit was not observed in gastric sonde, so this drug prevented from obstruction due to charcoal. Almost patients had charcoal loose stool within first 12 hours.

10.The correlation of serum cholinesterase and clinical signs in acute organophosphate poisoning
Journal of Medical Research 2002;19(3):59-66
30 acute organophosphate poisoning patients admitted in our department were classified into three groups of severity based on serum cholinesterase level and clinical syndromes of cholinergic crisis. Atropine was given at dose of 2-5mg every 10-15 minutes until the atropinisation reached then the doses of atropine were adjusted to maintain it. Pralidoxime was administered according to severity and its dosages were titrated as serum cholinesterase levels and clinical changes. Data was analyzed by SPSS for Windows. (1) The patients had good outcome with short duration of hospitalization (5.73.8) and low mortality (3.3%). (2) Serum cholinesterase was correlated with number of clinical symptoms (r=-0.613); clinical score (r=-0.580); number clinical syndromes (r=-0.515); total dose of atropine (-.714) severity of poisoning (r=-0.928) and total dose of PAM (r=-0.721). All correlation was significantly at the 0.01 level. (3) Total dose of PAM was correlated with clinical symptoms (r=0.625); clinical score (r=0.596); clinical syndromes (r=0.658); severity of poisoning (0.695); duration of hospitalization (0.889)
