This study was conducted on 63 male patients who already got married and had signs of erection disorder, they came to be examined and treated at surgical outpatient department of Central traditional hospital and at nephrology department of Viet Duc hospital from August 2002 to July 2004. Among 63 patients had their testosterone tests done before treatment, there were 14/63 patients whose testosterone value was under physical level (<9.7nmol/l), 49/63 other patients had normal testosterone value (9.8-35nmol/l). According to traditional medicine, "Huu quy hoan" has effect on fortifying the kidney, strengthening the virility, increasing the growth and development progress of the body. "Huu quy hoan" had effect on treating erection disorder and the results were: 52.4% of patients recovered completely from erection disorder, 0% patients had medium erection disorder, 36.5% patients had light erection disorder, 11.1% patients did not respond to treatment. Overall result: good 60.3%, medium 28.5% and no respond 11.2%.

Background: To improve the physical fitness of athletes is one of the essential requirements of the Vietnam Sports associations. Research to discover the functional foods to improve the physical fitness of athletes in general, in particular athletic athletes is an interest to scientists. Objective: Evaluation of effect of Phunamine on some of the male, female athlete\u2019s biomedicine and physical fitness standards. Subject and methods: A controlled, double-blind, randomized, clinical experiment was conducted on 30 athletes of the Hanoi Athletic Group. They were then divided into 2 groups: research group: 20 athletes (10 men, 10 women) were administered with 4 phunamine pills per day; control group: 10 athletes (5 men, 5 women) were each administered with 4 placebo pills per day. The 2 groups had tests performed and followed up 30 days pre and post administration. Results: Max-min blood pressure change between the two groups was not significant (t(\u03b1)>0.5). Testosterone concentration change and physical fitness test (run 100m, 400m) of Phunamine dosed group were higher than the placebo group (t(\u03b1)<0.5). Conclusion: Phunamine has the effects of increasing testosterone concentration and improving physical fitness of athletes however the drug has no effect on blood pressure index of athletic athletes.

Background: The fitness of athletes is always the top priority of each coach. Therefore, studying to discover the products that are really effective and appropriate for each sport is an urgent matter. Previous research showed biochemical standard is one of the important standards to assess the fitness of athletes. \r\n', u'Objectives: To study the effects of Phunamine on various biochemical standards of male and female weight-lifters. \r\n', u'Method: The self-control clinical experiment was applied in 19 weight-lifters at the Sport University 1 (TuSon) from May to July 2006. The research material was the functional food Phunamine with major component being anchovy combined with Syngnathiformes powder. Results: Testosterone concentration after taking Phunamine was higher than before the research (t(alpha)<0.025 in males; <0.01 in females); activity of LDH enzyme after taking Phunamine was higher than before the research, but the significant difference was only found in female with t(alpha)<0.025; cortisol concentration was also higher than before the research. \r\n', u'Conclusions: Phunamine has the effect of increasing testosterone, cortisol concentration and LDH enzyme activity.\r\n', u'
