A study on the morbidity rate of gonorrhea in Hanoi hospital of Dermatology and Venerology has shown that the rate of isolated gonococcus (neisseria gonorrheae) were 14.31%. This rate in male was higher than this in female. The morbidity rate of receptionist much higher than this than this of others.

This study aimed to extract and type the plasmids of S. typhi strains and antibiogram. 2 S. typhi strains were selected. One multi-antibiotic resistant strain carried only R-plasmid and the other sensitive strain carried 2 smaller plasmids. Both of them were cultured and extracted DNA plasmid. Then 20 different enzymes were analysed to choose proper enzymes. There were 7 enzymes met the requirements. For DNA of larger plasmid, Kpn 1 and Sca 1 cut to 11 fractions. All of them had lower molecular weight than standard DNA. For DNA of smaller plasmid, Kpn 1 enzyme cut to 16 fractions, BamH 1 cut to 10 fractions, Mlu cut to 9 fractions, Cla cut to 11 fractions, and Bgl II cut to 7 fractions. All these fractions had lower weight than standard DNA. Molecular weight of larger plasmid is 188 206bp X 660D = 124 215 960D (124MD). That of smaller plasmid is 99 731bp X 660D = 65 822 460D.

From 1/1991 to 5/1995, 43 arterio-venous malformations were operated on at the Dep of Neurosurgery of Viet Duc hospital- Ictus, neurological signs, disturbances of speech were the main presenting manifestations of this disease. CT Scanner angiogarphy and pathological examination were of paramount importance for the detection of this disease. Two procedures of treatment were utilised: surgical removal of the AVM and ventricular shunt. Post operative results were evaluted by repartition into 3 groups: - Good (clinical improvement): 95.3%. – Mean (with long lasting deficit): 2.35%.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant many antibiotics currently, including new generation, broad spectrum antibiotics that were very effective with other bacteria. Thus, it's difficult to treat P. aeruginosa infection with these antibiotics. Author collected P. aeruginosa strains from some hospitals in Hanoi, tested with more antibiotics in order to determine antibiotic resistant rate and types, to orient some mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of P. aeruginosa. Materials is 97 strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from blood and pus of patients treated at Bach Mai Hospital and National Institute of Burn from August 2002 to November 2003. Method: disk diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing (Kirby - Bauer test). Results: Isolated P. aeruginosa strains are multiple antibiotic resistant (8 of 16 antibiotics), especially hospital infection strains are resistant 100% of tested antibiotics. It showed the potential roles of some enzymes such as penicillinase, cephalosporinase, AAC(6), ANT(2")-1, and ANT(2") enzymes that inhibit effects of antibiotics in bacterium cell

In the period from Aug 2002 to Aug 2003, at the National Institute of Burn strains of S. aureus and 45 strains of P.aeruginosa were isolated from the blood of severious septicemia patients.In disk diffusion test,100% of S.aureus strains were resistant to penicillin, erythromycine, kanamycine, tobramycine, gentamycine, oxacilline, 36% in particular, resistant to vancomycine and 45% to teicoplanine. 100%,of P.aeruginosa were resistant to ticarcilline, cefoperazol, gentamycine, tobramycine and 50% were resistant to ciprofloxacine.The most common effective combinations were rifampicine+acide fusidic, or rifampicine+ vancomycine for S. aureus, and imipenem + fosfomycine or imipenem+netilmycine, or imipenem +piperacillin/tazobactam for P.aeruginosa

The studied was conducted to assess the health care demand and use primary health services in the communes of 10 provinces representing for 7 ecological areas countryside: Ninh Binh, Phu Tho, Bac Can, Quang Ninh, Quang Tri, Khanh Hoa, Dac Lac, Tay Ninh, Dong Thap, Can Tho. There are statistically significant differences of morbidity rate as well as health service use in genders, in ecological areas and in different economic levels. Morbidity rate in woman is higher than in men and the rate increases proportionally following older age. There are genders inequalities in using health services, especially among poor households. Women are more likely to seek self-treatment while men seeks higher quality of health care services in hospital. The different is statistically significant.

In vitro, flavonoids from Lonicera japonica Thunb flavonoids stimulate the catalysis of hydrolysis starch. This stimulating effect depended on the concentration of Lonicera japonica flavonoid but their in vitro stimulations weren’t strong. The anti-inflammatory effects were stronger when combining flavonoid with -amylase on dextran-induced edema mouse legs. So active catalysis stimulation of -amylase could be associated with anti-inflammation process; with unclear mechanisms. This result suggested the need of further research of anti-inflammatory drugs according to combine of traditional medicine and anti-inflammatory enzyme

An intervention to promote health workers' ability and EIC for reproductive age women at Cam Chinh commune, Cam Lo, Quang Tri achieved some significant improvements in health care services, reproductive health care, prenatal care, and child feeding practice. Significant improvements were found on utilization of prenatal care including health adequate check-ups and sufficient vaccination for pregnant women. Improvements were also in deliveries were supported by medical professionals, the postpartum medical care, and full utilization of natal and postnatal care.

Anti P. aeruginosa immunoglobulin prepared from horses have proved to be effective as a supplement to the conventional methods for early treatment of P. aeruginosa infection on animal. The results showed that anti P. aeruginosa immunoglobulin have protective value: P. aeruginosa number on surface of burn wounds decreased on 3rd day after treatment; protective effect manifested in mice infected intraperitoneally with P. aeruginosa with the doses from 2LD50 to 4LD50. The results in vivo on animal showed that anti P. aeruginosa immunoglobulin should be applicated in clinical trial to demonstrate its efficiency as a part of complete treatment of burn patients, with purulent sepsis complication

The study was conducted at commune health care stations in 10 provinces of 7 ecological areas of Vietnam. Results showed that: the accessibility of health care service hasn't meet the demand, the health care service provision and use for women in the rural communes has many limits, there has been the obvious gender inequality in health expenditures, the essential reproductive health care for women in rural communes is insufficient and under the National standards. It is necessary to enhance the quality of health care service in general, reproductive health care for women at reproductive age in rural areas in particular, complete research methodology on health care service accessibility and use in the public
