1.Study on the hemodynamometry in 2 positions to predict the development of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;232(1):31-36
Fifty three of normogravid - normotensive women who subsequently developed pregnancy - included hypertension demonstrated an increase in diastolic blood pressure at least 20 mmHg when turned from the lateral recumbent to the supine position, between twenty eight and thirty six weeks of gestation. Conversely 95.8% percent of women who did not demonstrate such a rise in diastolic blood pressure when turned to supine position did not become hypertensive during that pregnancy. The results demonstrated the high validity of this method as follow: the sensivity of predictive value: 65%. The specificity of predictive value: 93%, the positive predictive value: 53%, the negative predictive value: 96%.

2.Introduction of urodynamic studies
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2003;7(2):68-74
To survey the basic measurements of urodynamic as cystometry, uroflowmetry, electromyography, urethral profilometry. Currently, it may be to combine measurements each other or urodynamic with image diagnostic technique in order to have comprehensive consideration, more accurate on lower urinary tract function: To combine with cystometry, uroflowmetry and electromyography, detrusor pressure measurement, to combine with cystometry and observe reflection of light of cystoids under fluorescent screen, video-urodynamics

3.Varicocele - Updated knowledge on diagnosis and treatment
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2003;7(4):195-200
Varicocele is a dilatation of plexus venosus in the spermatic cord. It rarely occurs before the age of puberty, but 15% of male teenager experienced varicocele (the rate is relatively high). This rate is higher when surveying data of male infertility (35% of primary infertility patients, and 75-81% of secondary infertility patients had experienced varicocele). Varicocele may affect both sides, but 90% of cases occurred in 1 side and among them 90% were in the left side. Microsurgery is a treatment with high rate of success

4.Ecstasy – is very dangerous
Pharmaceutical Journal 2003;326(6):32-32
Ecstasy has been registered in 1914 as an anti-tired medicament for military use. From the year 1980, Ecstasy becomes an excitant using in amusing with the name of “shaking drug”, “Rabid drug”.

In the state of passionately fond the user can kill and rape. After a stage of exciting, the user can get severe and long weakening, get psychologic disturbance, get acute hepatitis. The harmfulness of ecstasy can be continuously listed

5.Take care when utilize antibiotics
Pharmaceutical Journal 2003;9():37-38
Antibiotic use must carefully and must exactly consider according to indication and combined exactly method and disease. To against antibiotic resistance, urgent methods is needed such as drugs used exactly disease, sufficient dose and enough time. For physicians, should careful if prescribe antibiotic, don't use new drug if older drug still effective, review antibiotic resistance to choose exactly, preservation obey exact standards, limited using antibiotic for cattle and poultry

6.Review of 20 years of surgical treatment of deformity of foot cervix and club foot combining with orthopadic equipment and external fixation.
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;233(2):20-22
Center for the trauma and orthopady treated 200 cases of foot deformity in which 1,500 cases received operations. Most of them were congenital club foot (70%) followed by club food due to the polio fever(20%) due to the brain paralysis (5%) and due to arthrogrip ossis (5%). The orthopadic equipments were applied for 35 cases. The equipment was used within 5 weeks and continuously fixed by gypsum up to 3 months from the day of operation.

7.Study on the solid dispersion system of artemisinine
Pharmaceutical Journal 1999;282(10):15-18
Enteric solid dispersions of artemisinine were prepared by spray drying using methacrylic acid copolymer (Eudragit L100) as carrier and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), Tween 20, PEG 6000, colloidal silica (aerosil) as additives. Spherical solid dispersion particles were obtained. Both solubility and dissolution rate of artemisinine studied in the medium pH 7.2 from all solid dispersions were markedly improved compared with that from the original or spray dried drug powder. The drug release rate of tablets that were made from the solid dispersion with drug-carrier ratio of 1:2 was nearly unchanged in medium pH 7.2 and was retarded in medium pH 1.5 in comparison with the solid dispersion powder.

Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2001;(11):31-34
A study on the changes of blood cells and lymphocyte T and the relation of the reduced lymphocyte TCD4 and some hematological indicators in patients with HIV/AIDS has shown that the amount of the lymphocyte T CD4 was reduced in patients with the HIV infection and was reduced significantly in patients with AIDS comparing with these in the normal people. The amount of the lymphocyte T CD8 was increased which lead the increase of lymphocyte TCD3. The amount of neutral leukocytes and thrombocytes in patients with HIV and/or AIDS were reduced when compared with these in the normal people. The amount of leukocyte and erythrocyte were reduced. The reduction of the lymphocyte TCD4 was closely related with the reduction of the thrombocytes and leukocytes.

A study on 105 patients with stroke in the central hospital 108 has shown that the rate of discharge was 95%, of which 37% of patients can walk, 23% of patients can walk with stick, 35.2% of patients have not be able to walk. The average duration of treatment was 32 days. The treatment involved the maintenance of circulation - respiratory function, anti-brain edema, anti-infection and active nursing.

10.Prostatic intra epithelia neoplasia in some cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and epithelioma
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;232(1):75-79
A study on the prostatic samples from 2 groups of patients with prostatic intra epithelia neoplasia, group I- patients in the post-telecommunication hospital and group II- patients in the Saint Vincent. The researcher found that there was no significant difference of ages between 2 groups, the prostatic hyperplasia frequently occurred in persons with ages of 60-65, while prostatic epitheliama frequently occurred in patients with ages of 80-85. The high grade lesion of prostatic intra epithelial neoplasia in the group I was less than this in the group II. The prostatic intra epithelia neoplasia combining with prostatic epithelioma in the group I was lower than this in group II.
