Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2004;9(6):327-330
A cross sectional retrospective study was conducted on 290 patients aged 19- 78 years old at Hung Vuong Hospital from July 2000 to July 2003, with PAP's smear, colposcopy and biopsy. Result showed that non benignant smear accosted for 16,9% non benignant colposcopy 28,6%, non benignant biopsy 35,2%. In comparing with the number of patients submited to consultation, the rate of smear 78,04% among then 0,13% were detected with any pathology and the rate of colposcopy 20,91% and 0,98% with any pathology

2.Comparative study on efficacy of a new combined vaginal preparation (Neo Penotran) versus Flagystatin in the treatment of common vaginitis
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2005;10(1):6-8
A randomized controlled trial was carried out on two groups of patients who were received either Flagystatine (nystatin 1000000 UI/metronidazol 500 mg) or Neo Penotran (miconazol 100mg/metronidazol 500 mg), twice a day for 7 days. Gynecological and microbiological assessments were carried out before treatment and 14 days after the first visit. In Flagystatine and Neo Penotran groups, clinical cure rates were 42% and 77.9% respectively; microbiological cure rates were 68.2% and 72.1%. In Neo Penotran group, functional symptoms were reduced more than organic symptom (84.8% and 79.1%, respectively). This difference was not so remarkable in Flagystatine group (64.8% and 65.95, respectively). Side effects of Neo Penotran were insignificant. Neo Penotran therapy without supportive treatment had higher efficacy in vaginitis at dosage of two pill a day in 7 days. The drug showed effects in both of function symptoms and organic symptoms, in clinical and paraclinical

3.Fetal chromosomal anomalies during pregnancy
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2005;10(4):209-213
Fetal chromosomal anomalies can be of number or of structure, on autosomal or on sex chromosomes. Prevalence of anomalies was approximately 1/150 of live births. However, some chromosomal anomalies did not show abnormal phenotypes. Abnormality of chromosomes was a main cause of spontaneous abortion and stillbirth, especially early abortion. Most of anomalies happened during gametogenesis of parent having normal chromosomes. The others were inherited by abnormalities from parent who had abnormal genotype but normal phenotype. Chromosomal anomalies are diagnosed by recognizing abnormal chromosome. Diagnosis was recommended when abnormal ultrasound was detected or when there were abnormality in history of mother and family. Chromosomal anomalies increased also with maternal age

4.Trisomy 18 in antenatal screening – a case report
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2005;10(5):277-278
Report one case of pregnant woman aged 29 years old, with history of spontaneous abortion 1 year ago, without other medical condition. In this gestation, the last menstruation was on September, 26th 2004, and expected delivery time on July, 3rd 2005, weight gain was normal, and fetus was normal clinically. Ultrasonographic finding showed polyhydramnios and syndactyly on the right hand. Amniotic paracentesis for FISH test result revealed trisomy 18 disorder. This pregnant woman was indicated gestative cessation. Baby was born after 31st of pregnancy, Apgar’s score: 3/4, weight of 1100g, with syndactyly on the right hand, abnormal heels and face (low-set ears, micrognathia), and dead after 3 days

Background: Rotavirus type A is the most common cause of acute gastrointestinal inflammatory in children under 5 years old, especially in age groups 6 and 36 months. Some rotavirus strains are common; seen recently in Vietnam are G1, G2, G3, G4 and G9, P4, P6 and P8. Objective: Surveillance of epidemiological characteristics of rotavirus induced diarrhea in the National Pediatric Hospital from September, 2007 to March, 2008. Subject and methods: Collection of 322 stool specimens of pediatric patients with acute diarrhea (including 213 specimens from male, 109 specimens from female), who were treated in the National Pediatric Hospital. All of these specimens were determined for causes of rotavirus with the enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Results and Conclusion: Among these 322 stool specimens, there were 195 rotavirus positive specimens, accounted for 60.56%. The rate of monthly distribution of rotavirus diarrhea from September, 2007 to March, 2008 were 76%, 56%, 62%, 61%, 64%, 56% and 44%, respectively. Number of rotavirus positive cases in male and female was 56 (26.29%) and 79 (72.48%), respectively. The rate of rotavirus positive children compared to total number of specimens with the age 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-24 months, 24-36 months and over 36 months was 7.69%, 15.9%, 41.54%, 32.82%, 1.54% and 0.51%, respectively. The results of type identification indicated that phenotypes of 37 among 40 specimens were identified (92.5%) in which there were 5 specimens of G1P8 (12.5%), 20 specimens of G3P8 (50%), 1 specimen of G9P8 (2.5%), 2 specimens of G1Pmixed (5%), 9 specimens of G3Pmixed (22.5%), 1 specimen of G unidentified-type P8 (2.5%) and 2 specimens of G3 P unidentified-type (5%).

Background: Acute gastroenterophathy usually caused by the Rota virus for children under 5 years old. Objectives: To present various types of data on epidemiology of ROTA virus diarrhea in Ho Chi Minh city from 12/2006-11/2007. Material and method: The data were collected from 500 stool specimens of diarrhea diagnosed chilren hosptalised at Thuy Dien Pediatric hospital 1, Ho Chi Minh city from December/2006 to November /2007. Results:There were 322 rotavirus-positive specimens, representing 64.4%. The proportions of monthly distribution of cases with diarrhea due to rotavirus were 90.1%, 54.39%, 85.37%, 74.51%, 72.92%, 41.67%, 26.67%, 58.33%, 79.31%, 52.63%, 69.05% and 57.78%, respectively.
