1.Changes of markers of hepatitis B and some factors of prognosis in patients with acute hepatitis B
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 2001;267(12):31-35
We studied on 85 patients with Acute B Hepatitis (ABH) on process of markers of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) after recovering 2 years. The results showed that the rate of chronic HBsAg carriers: not fever before jaundice; long lasting mild pain in liver; nausea and vomit before jaundice. High level of SGOT and SGPT is under 10 times and high level of Bilirubin is under 5 times compared with normal index; high level of T lymphocytes cells is mild; HBeAg positive when entering hospital and long lasting positive

2.Some clinical, epidemiological and impact of Hepatitis B
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2001;(11):12-17
Hepatitis B is common disease in the world. There were 350 millions persons who carry the chronic hepatitis B virus. The hepatitis B may cause the chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and primary liver cancer. The hepatitis B virus transmitted mainly via blood and drug addiction. The virus also transmitted from mother to their children or by intercourse. The hepatitis B virus included 2 major types with the clinical and para-clinical features in 3 phases.

5.Making nomogram to estimate the population attributable fraction.

Population attributable fraction (PAF) is an important public health parameter that is familiar to epidemiologists. The calculation of PAF is frequently based on the relative risk (RR) of a risk factor for a certain disease and the prevalence of exposure to the risk factor in the total population (Pe). We introduce here the method for making a nomogram linking PAF to RR and Pe. The nomogram will be very handy for public health professionals in estimating PAF quickly and accurately when information on RR and Pe is available.

7.Epidemiologic Methods and Study Designs for Investigating Adverse Health Effects of Ambient Air Pollution.
Korean Journal of Preventive Medicine 2001;34(2):119-126
Air pollution epidemiologic studies are intrinsically difficult because the expected effect size at general environmental levels is small, exposure and misclassification of exposure are common, and exposure is not selective to a specific pollutant. In this review paper, epidemiologic study designs and analytic methods are described, and two nationwide projects on air pollution epidemiology are introduced. This paper also demonstrates that possible confounding issues in time-series analysis can be resolved and the impact on the use of data from ambient monitoring stations may not be critical. In this paper we provide a basic understanding of the types of air pollution epidemiologic study designs that be subdivided by the mode of air pollution effects on human health (acute or chronic). With the improvements in the area of air pollution epidemiologic studies, we should emphasize that elaborate models and statistical techniques cannot compensate for inadequate study design or poor data collection.

8.Some remarks on the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in Hanoi from 23 February to 23 March 2003
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2003;0(4):6-9
By monitoring the clinical and epidemiological development and prevention of SARS outbreak, the author initially informed some remarks: 1 month after outbreak, SARS just occurred in individuals who were close related with the initial sources of infection from hospitals. Not detect outbreak in community
