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

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.Influence of schizophrenia on the life quality
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2001;8():31-34
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder, having chronic course and frequent relapses. It often influences on the life quality. Authors had studied a group of 90 schizophrenia out-patients in Ho Nai (Bien Hoa City) and Tu Nhien village (Thuong Tin, Ha Tay). The results showed that 38-72% of patients are unemployed. Some patients can do simple works. Many of them are socially isolated, having various problems in family life and self-service. Especially, 7% of the total patients had the intent of suicide

8.Investigation of the risk factors that relate to the recurrence of schizophrenia type paranoid.
Journal of Practical Medicine 2000;383(6):7-8
Patients were divided into 2 groups, one involved 30 patients who have recurrence within 10 years, and the other involved 20 patients without recurrence. All patients were diagnosed with schizophrenia type paranoid using ICD-10 criteria. The result showed that to lower the recurrence of schizophrenia patients, the education and communication measures are needed in the first place so that the patients’ family accept and tolerate them. Try to limit adverse effects such as psychological trauma and stress. Especially, the medical intervention is very important soon after this detecting this condition

9.Treatment results for sciatic neuralgia due to posterior-lateral posterior form of lumbar intervertebral disc displacement in sub-acute and chronic stages at Neurological Department of Central Military Hospital 108 from 1987 to 1998: review 1,390 cases
Journal of Practical Medicine 1998;344(1):27-29
The study was conducted on 1,390 cases of sciatic neuralgia with manifestations of spinal syndrome and nerve root pain in which nerve root capsule was compressed due to intervertebral disc or lumbar intervertebral disc displacement. Patients were given a treatment procedure, included spinal manipulation - anti-inflammatory drugs - extra dural injection of hydronovocaine - exercise. Outcomes were evaluated by scoring symptoms before and after treatment: Mild - 1 score, moderate-2 scores and severe pain -3 scores. Results suggested that this procedure produced high efficiency.

10.Study on expression of serum concentration of antibody IgA1 in normal people and patients with hepatocellular epithelioma by j1-sepharose 4b-lectin affinity column chromatography
Pharmaceutical Journal 2000;288(4):16-18
We have used jacalin, a lectin purified from Vietnamses Jackfruit to design J1- sepharose 4 B affinity column for studying IgA1 concentration from healthy and Hepato Cellular Carcinoma sera. The results obtained showed that IgA1 concentration from human Hepato Cellular Carcinoma serum (7.85+/- 0.80 mg/ml) is 2.76 times higher than that of healthy human (2.84+/-0.28 mg/ml). The use of modified ELISA technique for determination IgA1 concentration from sera indicated the same results in comparison with Affinity chromatography technique.
