Background: In many years, National Institute of Malariology, Parasitology and Entomology conducted collection, storage and preservation of malaria parasites species \r\n', u'Objective: to evaluate some results of malaria parasite species collected from Daknong province and analysis of drug resistance in P.Palciparum by the polymerase chain reaction.\r\n', u'Subject and method: Malaria parasite species collected from Daknong province in 2006. Thirty-five isolates were confirmed to be resistant with chloroquin by in vitro test. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment leng polymorphism were used. \r\n', u'Results: 55 Plasmodium jalciparum. 7 Plasmodium vivax. 4 Plasmodium malariae. 1 Plasmodium ovale samples were collected from the malaria patients. A preliminary analysis of drug-resistant mutations in the Plasmodium jalciparum chloroquine resistance transpory (pfcrt) and P Jalciparummulti-drug resistant genes showed that the change of the order of amino-acid of Plasmodium jalciparum was closely correlated to chloroquine resistance in 35 isolates at the mutant allele 76 of pfcrt gene of chloroquine resistant Plasmodiuntjalciparum isolates. \r\n', u'Conclusion: These results contributed to supplement malaria parasite species that were stored in National Institute of Malariology, Parasitology ad Entomology.\r\n', u'

Objectives: The prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has increased, particularly among individuals who have recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Health literacy is considered a “social vaccine” that helps people respond effectively to the pandemic. We aimed to investigate the association between long COVID-19 and PTSD, and to examine the modifying role of health literacy in this association. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at 18 hospitals and health centers in Vietnamfrom December 2021 to October 2022. We recruited 4,463 individuals who had recovered from COVID-19 infection for at least 4 weeks. Participants provided information about their sociodemographics, clinical parameters, health-related behaviors, health literacy (usingthe 12-item short-form health literacy scale), long COVID-19 symptoms and PTSD (Impact Event Scale-Revised score of 33 or higher). Logistic regression models were used to examine associations and interactions. Results: Out of the study sample, 55.9% had long COVID-19 symptoms, and 49.6% had PTSD.Individuals with long COVID-19 symptoms had a higher likelihood of PTSD (odds ratio [OR], 1.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.63–2.12; p < 0.001). Higher health literacy was associated with a lower likelihood of PTSD (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97–0.99; p = 0.001). Compared to those without long COVID-19 symptoms and the lowest health literacy score, those with long COVID-19 symptoms and a 1-point health literacy increment had a 3% lower likelihood of PTSD (OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96–0.99; p = 0.001). Conclusion Health literacy was found to be a protective factor against PTSD and modified the negative impact of long COVID-19 symptoms on PTSD.
