A region of 326 bp of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (cox1) for Opisthorchis sp sample collected in An My, Tuy An, Phu Yen, was amplified using PCR. Nucleotide sequence of this cox1 fragment was used to comparatively analyzed with that of O. viverrini, strain Khon Kaen, Thailand, and C. sinensis sequences of Opisthorchis sp of Vietnam, China and Korea. The analysis revealed that nucleotide sequences of Opisthorchis sp of Vietnam has absolute homology to O. viverrini strain Khon Kaen, Thai Lan, but difference from C. sinensis originated from Vietnam, China and Korea. Opisthorchis sp of Vietnam isolated in Phu Yen is, thus, molecularly identified as Opisthorchis viverrini. This gives rise to establish a diagnostic approach and aspect of preventive/control for these species

The prevalence of caries of milk teeth was 62.6% of 6-10 -year -old age school children in Bac Kan province. There was no difference between boy and girl. 78.5% was the prevalence of periodontosis diseases. Candy consumption was a risk factor for caries (OR=4.62) and periodontosis (OR=0.15). For caries, no brushing of teeth was a risk factor (OR=4.54) and a factor causing high prevalence of periodontosis in children

Transport for pediatric patients from one department to another ones in the same hospital or from one hospital to another must be sure of their safety and during the transportation, the patients’ situation were followed up and treated appropriately. The patient needs to move to a better place that includes care condition and treatment or where the explorative tests can be done to server for diagnosis and treatment

From January 2000 to July 2002, in Tuyen Quang Hospital of Traditional Medicine, 52 patients (32 male, 20 female) aged 30-37, with the syndrome of hyperlipidemia, having clinical signs of pain and weary limbs, dim sight, deteriorated memory, high blood presure and headache… A 30 days course of LP4 formula in combining with proper diet (a decoction daily). Good results reported on 27 patients, satisfied on 21, medium 2 and bad on 2. No side effect is notified

Evaluating the effects of odontology education in the program of school odontology and odonto-stomatogy care for school children of a primary school in the school years 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 showed: the good attitude of school children toward dento-oral health, their most recognised the need of annual dental examination. The rate of school children who brush the teeth at least two times a day enhanced from 66.2% to 87.7% and the time taken for > 3 minutes brushing enhanced 35.4% - 71.5%, while the use of toothpick reduced by 26.2%. There were differences in various dento-oral indices before and after intervention.

Electro acupuncture (EA) was applied to rehabilitate the motor function for 50 wind stroke patients found that 80% of total patients suffering from meridian wind stroke (MWS) and 20% with organ wind stroke (OWS). The results follow: rery good results (recovary) 30%, good effect 56%, have effect 12%, and failure 2%. Patients of MWS group was transfered 1 to 3 degree of paralysis, higher than those of OWS group (80%). After treatment patient of MWS increased 227.58% and 258.83% in compared with before treatment, higher than OWS group (211.45% and 214.49%). The younger patient get the better result. Patient should apply EA as soon as better. Amplitude and frequency of motor unit of muscle groups after treatment remarkably increased in compared with before treatment.

Study on 20 stroke patients. Results: Mean values of Quicki and Homa indices were 0.50±0.02 and 3.73±2.63. The overall correlation between Quicki and Go was very high (r:-0.91; p<0.001) comparing with the correlation between Homa and Go (:0.79; p<0.001). Both Quicki and Homa indices correlated strongly with Io (r:-0.88; p<0.001 and r: 0.97; p<0.001). The overall correlation between Quicki and Homa was very high (r:-0.94; p<0.001).Quicki and Homa indices are simple, acceptable and indirect methods for evaluating the insulin-resistant state of troke patients.

By molecular identification and using mitochondrial genetic markers, the results showed that different forms of lung fluke in Vietnam, including adult fluke from human, dogs, cats and Potamicus sp. rock crab, have been identified as Paragonimus heteotremus. Molecular-based analysis on 390 nucleotides of the cytochrome oxidase gene revealed that Paragonimus heterotremus of Vietnam from all forms showed high identity to the Chinese and Thai strains. (99.0 -99.2% nucleotide and 97-100% amino acid). Phylogenetic analysis uniquely placed the Vietnamese Paragonimus sp to the group of P.heterotremus of Chinese and Thai origin. Thus, P.heterotremus is offically identified from most of the natural and experimental hosts in Vietnam

Using the retrospective cohort study 0f 71 patients with molar pregnancy at Hai Phong Gynecology - Obstetric Hospital from 1/1999 to 12/2000. Average beta hCG level of patients with molar pregnancy was 510.240 mUL/ml. The patients with molar pregnancy < 8 weeks had the average beta hCG 76.516 mUL/ml, although in was not specific but this level was 10 times higher than that of normal pregnancy. The patients with molar pregnancy > 8 weeks had the highly specific beta hCG with more than 500.000 mUL/ml. Beta hCG level was related to uterus height

After myocardial infarction, there is a high mortality, patient needs a proper treatment. The medications include a group of antiagglutination of thrombocytes, anticoagulants, a group of beta receptor suppressor, a group of antimetabolism inhibitors, a group of calci channel suppressor, the medication of antiarrhythmia, treating blood lipid dysturbation. Supportive measures such as the change of living stype, stop smoking, proper diet and exercises were effective. Specially, it must treat activelyassociate factors such as diabetes, hypertension. Antioxidants such as vitamin A, vitamin E, folat, vitamin B and hormone therapy for menopause women are also helpful
