Journal of Surgery 2007;57(3):33-47
Background: Reasonably and safe antibiotic uses not only benefit patients, but also limit the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Objectives: To total up all antibiotics and their brand names used at Viet Duc Hospital; To describe and preliminarily evaluate the uses of antibiotics according to Altemeier classification. Subjects and method: The cross-sectional study was caried out on all patients at 11 clinical departments, who were treated by antibotics. Review medical records for information of antibiotic use and some related factors (pre-operative and post-operative diagnoses, kind of operations, type of operation according to Altemeier classification). Results and Conclusion: There were 9 classes of antibiotics with 25 antibiotics and 31 bran names used in Viet Duc Hospital. Antibiotics of beta-lactam class and imidazol were most commonly used. The rate of antibiotic prophylaxis was low, although clean wounds have been used many strong antibiotics such as cephalosporin III. In infected wounds, combination of Cefotaxom + Flagyl was used more common, but it notes that the situation of production ESBLs by bacteria was rather high in hospital settings. Microbiological tests weren\u2019t applied widely for infected operations.

7.Role of cytology in the diagnosis of nosopharyngeal carcinoma
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 2001;263(9):67-71
The definitive diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) depends on the examination of tissue or cells obtained from either the primary site or a metastatic focus. 1120 patients suffering from NPC were reviewed. 880 patients (76.52%) had fine needle aspiration (FNA) in cervical lymph nodes (positive: 84.83%, Se: 95.52%, Sp: 100%, PV(+): 100%, PV(-):57.14%, A:94.37%) 132 patients (11.79%) performed on smears collected from biopsy tissue (positive rate: 63.64%, Se: 84%, SP: 100%, PV(+): 100%, PV(-): 66.67%, A: 87.88%.

8.Transfer of antibiotic resistance genes of shigella isolates from three regions (Northern, Southern and Central) of Viet Nam.
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2002;12(1):12-17
119 isolates of Shigella with multi-drug resistant (100 Shigella flexneri) to chloramphenicol (Cm), ampicillin (Ap), tetracyclin (Te), trimethoprim (Tr), sulfamethoxazole (Su) from Northern, Central and Southern regions of Viet Nam during a period of 1995-1997 were investigated for the ability to transfer gene trains by method of conjugation. 59.2% strains were transferable in vitro to E.coli K12 with frequence from 10-7 to 10-5 (65.8% strains from Northern, 54.8% strains from Central and 57.5% strains from Southern regions). Almost all the antibiotic resistance genes were transfered with 10 different patterns of resistance; Ap, Tr, Su being the most frequent patters: 45.7% strains fro Northern, 30.8% strains from Southern and 25.6% strains from Central regions.

9.Antibiotic resistance of Str.pneumoniae isolated in the recent years.
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2000;10(4):42-46
Outline on the antibiotic resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated during 1989-1995 in Viet Nam based on the data of antimicrobial susceptibility tests of NIHE and ASTS project. Comparing to the data from countries in South East Asis/India we found that: Str.pneumoniae is still susceptible to benzylpenicillin. B-lactams, macrolides, chloramphenicol. In many countries the reported incidence of drug-resistant Str.Pneumoniae has increased in the last year. The frequency and patterns of resistance vary in different geographic regions, countries and over different periods.

10.Plasmid encoded multidrug resistance in Salmonella typhi in Vietnam.
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2002;12(1):48-53
129 isolates of S.typhi multi-drug resistant to Cm, Ap, Te, Tr, Su from Northern, Southern and Central regions of Vietnam during 1995-1997 were examined to detect the ability to transfer gene encoding the resistance to antibiotics and to study molecular characters of it’s R-plasmids. Results indicated the presence of self-transferable plasmid in 90% S.typhi strains from Southern, and 100% strains from Northern and Central regions. These strains carried from 1 to 2 plasmids of molecular weighed 110 MD and 80 MD. Gene encoding the resistance to Cm, Ap, Te, Tr, and Su were found to be located on a large plasmid of 100 MD. All S.typhi strains from 3 regions showed to have large plasmids with identical molecular structure, this indicated the same origin of these S.typhi strains.
