1.concentration of the tumor necroisis factor alpha (TNF alpha) in patients with the malignant malaria
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1998;231(12):22-25
43 patients with the malignant malaria, 56 patients with the common malaria and 30 healthy people without history of the malaria were clinically examined and received the immunological tests during 3 stages including coma, conscious and recovering. The concentration of TNF alpha in patients with the malignant malaria was increased highly in the stage of coma, then reduced gradually in the stage of the conscious and reduced to the normal level during the stages of recovering comparing with this in healthy people

2.Study on changes of T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4, CD8) in kidney transplant recipients
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2003;0(5):24-26
Background: Chronic renal failure patients with end-stage must be treated with renal replacement methods such as artificial kidneys, renal peritoneum purification or kidney transplant, in which kidney transplant is considered as the optimal method.\r\n', u'Objectives: To study changes of lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4, CD8) in kidney transplant recipients.\r\n', u'Subjects and methods: A prospective descriptive study was performed on 80 people including 45 healthy people and 35 patients with transplanted kidney over two years.\r\n', u'Results and conclusion: The average number of lymphocyte subsets in adult healthy people were determined in this study, as follows: TCD4: 540 \xb1 177 tb/\u03bcl, TCD8: 728 \xb1 208 tb/\u03bcl; TCD3: 1389 \xb1 372 tb/\u03bcl; TCD4/TCD8: 0.39 \xb1 0.08; TCD4/TCD3: 0.76 \xb1 0.23 and TCD8/TCD3: 0.76 \xb1 0.23. There was no significant difference in mean number of TCD4 between pre-transplant and 1 year and 2 years post transplantation (p >0.05) but TCD4/TCD8 ratio was significantly decreased at both 1 year and 2 years post-transplantation (p<0.001). TCD4/TCD8 ratio was not significantly different between 1 year and 2 years after transplantation (p >0.05)\r\n', u'\r\n', u'
