Four Years Reports of "Journal of Korean Neuropsychiatric Association" during 2001 to 2005 were evaluated by 18 Editorial Board of Korean Neuropsychiatric Association. We investigated the articles to specific fields and rejection rate etc. by different section chiefs. Although several problems concerning review time duration and rejection guideline issues indicated but generally all reviewer processes proved relatively clear and concise criteria. Through these objective and systematic evaluation processes, "Journal of Korean Neuropsychiatric Association" will develop a good journal.

PURPOSE: Teaching evaluation tools can be used to provide feedback to medical educators and help them improve their teaching skills. The purpose of this study was to develop a clinical teaching evaluation tool and test its efficacy. METHODS: The draft tool was developed based on clinical education literature and was modified by the stakeholder groups. To examine the quality of the instrument, content and construct validity, as well as reliability and fitness were analyzed. Content validity was tested by the stakeholder groups using a survey, and construct validity was verified by confirmatory factor analysis using LISREL 8.8. Internal consistency of items was assessed thorough Cronbach alpha estimation. Rasch analysis using Winstep 3.65 was performed to estimate the fitness of the tool. RESULTS: The resulting tool consisted of 4 large categories, 25 small categories, and 43 items. According to the test results, the average importance of all 43 items was 4.03 (3.63 to 4.29). Cronbach alpha was 0.9689, and the correlation coefficients between the items were high. With regard to construct validity, 10 items needed minor modifications in the category setting. As the infit (0.76 to 1.23) and outfit (0.75 to 1.40) indices show, 42 items were fit to the item response theory. CONCLUSION: The clinical teaching evaluation tool that has been developed in this study is valid and reliable and fits the item response theory. It can be used as an evaluation method in a variety of clinical teaching settings.

Background: National malaria preventive and control program is rather successful, but the special result has not been accurately analyzed.\r\n', u'Objectives: to evaluate of the malaria situation for the period of 2000-2007 in Viet Nam.\r\n', u'Subjects and methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from malaria information system.\r\n', u'Results: On annual average, about 140.000 to 150.000 patients are diagnosed as malaria. Annual malaria morbidity is greatly reduced from 6.91/1000 in 2000 to 2.21/ 1000 population in 2007. The deaths in children accounted for 30 to 40% of the total malaria deaths of the whole country. The annual average number of malaria cases treated is about 150.000 to 160.000 and it is decreased by year. Artemisinine based Combination Therapy (ACT) for P.falciparum cases is 18 - 20% of the total patients. \r\n', u'From 2000 to 2007, on average, about 1.5 to 2 million of people in the malaria endemic, high risk areas were protected by Indoor Residual Spray (IRS) annually. The coverage of protected population tends to be reduced from 6.7% to 5.9 % of population at risk of malaria. \r\n', u'The annual average number of population protected by Insecticide Treated Bed Nets (ITNs) is from 8.5 to 11.5 million and the coverage of ITNs is increasing from 23.6% to 31.0% of population in malaria endemic areas. . \r\n', u'Conclusion:From 2000 to 2007, the malaria in Vietnam continues to be decreased in term of morbidity and mortality.\r\n', u'

A study on 613 households in Cai Bau Island, Van Don district, Quang Ninh province has shown that the rate of households with latrine was high but the rate of hygiene latrine was low, especially incorrect use of double tank latrine. The water resources were mainly digging wells. They polluted according to the both chemical and bioloical aspects. The biological pollution of earth caused by microbe from human an animal drug.

One method to determine the content of chitosan present in Pokysan cream has been developed. Chitosan was separated from Pokysan by dissolving the cream in acidic solution, extracted by chemical mixtures of I and II, which were prepared by laboratory of polymers in medico – pharmacy, and then collecting the precipitate of chitosan in the alkaline medium. This precipitate was then qualified by Lugol reagent and IR spectra. Collected chitosan precipitate was also qualified and quantified. These results proved that chitosan has been included in Pokysan cream and our method is confident
