1.A case of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst in children
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2005;10(2):79-80
Bronchogenic cyst is usually located in the mediastinum and lung parenchyma, but retroperitoneal ones are extremely rare. Most of bronchogenic cysts are benign and asymptomatic. The author reported a case of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst in an 11 year old girl who complained of epigastric pain. Ultrasonography, CT scan and MRI studies revealed a retroperitoneal cystic mass, about 4cm in diameter, containing turbid fluid, along the right crus of the diaphragm, adjacent to abdominal aorta. Pathological analysis confirmed the bronchogenic cyst with components of smooth muscle, respiratory epithelium, cartilage and submucous glands of the cyst wall, hemorrhage and leukocyte infiltration. Postoperative outcomes were good, the patient discharged at the 12th day

2.The bacterium causing nosocomial infection in Hospital Dong Da, Ha Noi
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;442(2):63-67
From December 1999 to April 2001, a survey performed in Dong Da Hospital (Ha Noi) showed that in aseptic operation room, asmosphere met 90% of the standard criterion, and in ordinary operation room 80%. In post operation rooms and resuscitation room high possibility of microbiological pollution was noted. 10 examinations showed the number of anaerobic bacteria on 1m3 of air is over the permissible criterion. In 2 operating rooms and post operative room, 100% of intact surgical instruments draining tubes and perfusion tubes are met the demand, while aspirators and rolling cars are polluted. 11 on 30 patients (36.7%) had any bacteria in the operated lesion. There is some rate of pollution in the cloths and the fingers of patients (33.3% and 26.7% respectively) and there is some rate of bacterial infested in the skin area of infection and installation of drain (10% and 20% respectively)

3.Impacts on pregnancy outcome treated with acupuncture and moxibustion in IVF-ET patients.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2015;35(4):313-317
OBJECTIVETo observe the impacts on endometrial and pregnancy outcomes treated with acupuncture and moxibustion in the patients of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and explore the application value, of acupuncture and moxibustion in IVF-ET treatment.
METHODSOne hundred and fourteen patients of IVF-ET treated with standard long-term program at luteal phase were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 57 cases in each one. In the observation group, at the beginning of ovulatory induction, moxibustion was applied to Shenque (CV 8) and acupuncture was to Zhongji (CV 3), Guanyuan (CV 4), Qihai (CV 6), Zigong (EX-CA 1), Xuebai (SP 10), etc. till the transfer time for one session of treatment. Totally, 3 sessions were required. In the control group, no intervention of acupuncture and moxibustion was applied. The endometrial morphology, subendometrial blood flow index, the levels of serum estradiol (E2), progesterone (P) and luteinizing hormone (LH) on the day of injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the dosage and time of gonadotropin (Gn), oocyte count, high-quality embryo number, embryo cultivation rate and clinical pregnant rate were observed in the two groups.
RESULTSThe A type endometrial proportion on hCG day and high-quality embryo rate in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, indicating the significant differences (both P< 0.05). The difference in endometrial thickness on hCG day was not significant between the two groups (P> 0.05). In the observation group, endometrial hemodynamic index (peak systolic blood velocity/end-diastolic blood velocity, S/D), resistive index (RI) and pulse index (PI) were lower than those in the control group (P<0. 01, P<0. 05). The levels of serum E2 and P on hCG day in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0. 05). The differences were not significant in Gn dose, Gn medication time, numbers of follicles >1. 6 cm on hCG day, oocyte count, embryo cultivation rate and clinical pregnancy rate and LH level on hCG day between the two groups (all P>0. 05).
CONCLUSIONIn IVF-ET treatment, acupuncture and moxibustion affect estrogen level on hCG day, improve high-quality embryo rate, endometrial blood flow state and morphology so that the endometrial receptivity is increased and the method is expected to be the assistant therapeutic approach for the improvement of IVF-ET outcome.

4.The leprosy in Papua New Guinea
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):13-16
The author involved in the National Leprosy Elimination Program (NLEP) in Papua New Guinea (PNG) as a WHO consultant has studied the epidemiological status of the disease from 1980 -2000. The result are shown as follow: - Before implementing multi-drug therapy (MDT), the prevalence rate (PR) of the disease was very high (28.1 per 10,000 population). - After 5 years of MDT introduction, the registered cases reduced dramatically and PR declined to 50%. - Distribution of leprosy was even in the different areas. This related possibly to environment, hygiene, living condition and health net work. - After 10 years of implementing the NLEP, PNG has reached already the goal of leprosy elimination with PR less than 1 per 10,000. - MTD has proved to be very effective in treatment of leprosy. It has important role in changing epidemiological status of leprosy in PNG

5.Application of PCR in diagnosis E.coli of nosocomial infection of Viet Duc hospital Hanoi
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1998;230(11):27-34
Investigation 54 E.coli strains isolated from nosocomial infection. The results as follows: - Only 46 of 54 E.coli strains were frequent positive with the afa pair of prime (85.2%). None of them have both afa and virulent genes for diarrhea. - Antibiotic resistance of E.coli (it was frequent afa positive) with ampicillin (80.4%), co-trimoxazol (58.7%) and cephalothin (56.5%). Antibiotic susceptibility of E.coli (it was frequent afa positive) with amikacin (97.8%), chloramphenicol (87.0%), gentamicin (71.7%) and norfloxacin (67.4%).

6.Gram stain and determining enzyme urease to diagnosis rapidly with Helicobacter pylori infection in the patients with gastroduodenal ulcer
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):64-66
Investigating the biopsed gastroduodenal specimens collected from patients with gastroduodenal ulcer showed that: the gastroduodenal conditions can occur in all age groups, but they are most likely to be seen in the middle and old people. Gram stain and urease test from biopsed specimens gives result rapidly, especially with Gram stain. Rate of positive result is high (90.6% and 89.5%, respectively). Therefore, it can be based on the result of two these techniques to make diagnosis earlier

8.Evaluation of some factor influence on the blood culture in patients with typhoid
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):23-24
A study on the clinical symptoms and blood culture in 81 patients with typhoid septicemia has shown that the most typical symptoms in the typhoid septicemia comprised continuous high fever, anorexia, bloating and headache. Other symptoms comprised erythematosus, nose bleeding, hepatomegaly, spleenmegaly and diarrhea. The blood culture aimed at identifying the causative bacterial had a high positive rate within 96 hours after fever. This rate was very low in cases of antibiotic administration at home

Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):54-56
The culture of pus, fluid in the incisions, injuries from 540 patients in Saint Paul hospital has shown that 12.9% of samples infected with S.aureus. The isolated S.aureus rates resist to chloramphenicole, erythromycin, norfloxacin, cotrimoxazole, gentamycin, oxacillin were 50.3%, 38.4%, 20.5%, 24%, 20.1%, 17.6%, respectively. There was no occurrence of resistance to Vancomycin. S.aureus had a high sensitivity to common antibiotics such as Amikacin, cephalotin, gentamicin and norfloxacin.

10.Simple partial seizure in children
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;233(2):39-46
Epilepsia syndromes in children, commonly happen as simple partial seizures without impairing consciousness, and usually are overlooked. In this article, the authors described some simple partial seizures which mostly wer overlooked through different previous clinical examinations. Owing to carefully taking the history of the disease from the parents relating some highly suggestive events such as somnambulism, distraction, repetitive stomach and headache without any physical lesion, and particularly owing to the specific device almost patients have been.
