1.Homocysteinuria: clinical features and treatment
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2000;(4):17-19
Homocysteinuria was manifested by the cardiovascular, ophthalmologic and systemic symptoms in which the luxation and subluxation of lens were reasons for consultation. The biochemical cause was the cystathionin synthetase deficiency leading the metabolic disorder of methionin. The treatment involved the long-term use of high dose of vitamin B6 and reduction of the food that containing much methionin. It should not operate in the anesthetic condition. The current technique is cystitomy

2.Relation of dietary fat with cardiovascular diseases
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2001;(11):10-15
The dietary fat and fatty acid influenced the process of arteriosclerosis and thrombosis. Current Vietnamese diet contains the low fat and protein, and high salt and carbohydrate. In order to prevent from arteriosclerosis and thrombosis, it should strengthen the fat in the diet concomitantly improve the quality of fat as trend of reduction of AI, TI index and n-6/n-3 ratio.

3.One's self assessment of risk of cardiovascular diseases
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 1998;(10):5-8
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.

4.Sexual activity and cardio-vascular patients
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2002;(9):17-19
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.

5.Plastic reconstruction after operation of breast cancer
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2002;(8):18-21
The breast cancer accounted for the highest rate among cancers in women. In development countries, the plastic reconstruction after operations of breast cancer played an important role to help patients integrating into the normal life. In Vietnam, together with progresses in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, the plastic reconstruction of breast is being considered and primarily applied in some professions.

6.Hospital burasar - the acceptance, the payment and some recommendation from the community in Thakhek district, Khammouane province- Lao PDR
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2001;(11):23-26
The most informed members from 907 households were interviewed in regard to the hospital bursar. Results show that the majority of population (in which 7.5% with high income, 70.1%-mean and 22.4% - low income) is capable to pay the bursar by various resources including the available fund 65.2%, the sale of domestic animals and commodities 6.3% and the debt 27.2%. For all population, hospital fee is acceptable but on which the awareness is insufficient. Recommendations were made concerning the exemption for the subjects with low-income.

7.Why the hospitals have to charge the medical service fees and how to adjust them
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2000;(4):17-21
We analyzed the active information of Khammouane provincial in 2001, and adjust the hospital fee models by researcher's formula. The results showed that: In the hospital, when the outcomes is bigger than the incomes without fees, we have to take hospital fees, contrary to, we don't take it. The fees are correct when outcomes are equal or smaller than incomes with fees and exemption payments need to equal or bigger than these incomes without fees, therefore the average fee collection need to equal or bigger than average hospital payment. At Khammouane provincial hospital, in 2001, the correct models of hospital fees are 'collect all of medical services with the cost of 3 factors: salary, administration cost and drugs-consumer equipment'. The correct models of hospital fees can provide the expenditure on health care in the hospital throughout the year, can raise medical service quality and make more the context for the poor patients can use the health care service without the fees.

8.Capacity of use of medical equipments for paraclinical diagnosis and ability of hospital cost recovery
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2001;(11):4-7
The strengthening of medical equipment led the burden for the health sector and national budget. It should consider the cost for the paraclinical services and the mechanism of partial or total collection of hospital bursar

9.Embolisation of the bronchial arteries in the broncho-pulmonary bleeding
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 1999;(6):33-35
Broncho-pulmonary bleeding is very frequent broncho-pulmonary diseases with a bleeding percentage of 48% of patients who entered the hospital’s emergency department. Embolisation of the bronchial arteries is an useful technique which can control those bleedings. The authors used Remy’s embolisation technique with some improvement. A catheter was introduced from femoral artery to bronchial artery of the wounded lung avoiding abnormal distribution of this artery and embolisation was made with spongel or gelaspon pieces. 8 embolisation were practiced with successful results.

10.Application of new progresses of immunology in community
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2000;7(7):5-8
Immunology plays an important role in prevention, discovery, diagnosis and treatment. There are 4 major immunological techniques including ELISA (enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assay), ICA (immuno-chromatography assay), GLORIA (gold labeled optical read rapid immunoassay) and MCIA (membrane capture immunoassay). These techniques with the simple test devices such as test paper, test stick, test cassette provided the rapid results. The immunological techniques have been applying in emergency tests (myocardial infection, embolism, thrombosis, and occlusion), infection viral infection, allergy, cancer and drug abuse
