This research was implemented in 135 pregnant women aged from 20-28 in 2 communes in Bac Ninh province. The results: anaemia is very frequent (40.7% of subjects has Hb<11 mg/dl; besides Zinc deficiency is also a severe problem of public health (low plasma Zn<65 mg/dl is 69.7%). There is a proportional correlation between Hb and Zn concentrations. The iron, zinc dietary intake is attained 50-70% compared with RDAs.

Studied on 372 Ha Noi people with fasting capillary glaucoma of 140mg/dl and positive melituria. Results: the obese people was high (15,5%). The rate of obesity in women was higher than men. Ten people with high glucemia was 1,6%, this rate in women was higher than in men. Protein in the diet was higher than that recommended. The energy P: L: G = 15,8: 13,8: 76,4 in obese people with insufficient activities, long sitting and the rate of people doing exercises was fewer

From March to December 2002, 890 subjects aged 40-60 with high blood sugar, in Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi city were investigated. Of them 6.1% had fasting capilary blood sugar level at  116mg/dl, with no difference between male and female subject, the incidence of high blood sugar increased with the age, 3.7% in the group of 40-49 and 8.9% in the group of 50-60. Blood pressure is 12.7%, higher in male than in female (18.7% and 11.1%), this incidence increased with the age. There were relations between high blood sugar with blood pressure, with BMI, and with abdomen obesis, body fat percentage and family history of diabetes

Background: There are many methods used in epidemiological studies of tuberculosis (TB) bacteria but Spoligotyping method is widely used with high accuracy, simple procedure, and carried out on strains containing a little of IS6110 segment \r\n', u'Objectives: To improve Spoligotyping technique and apply this technique to classify Mycobacterium tuberculosis\r\n', u'Subjects and method: Subjects and methods: The study included 12 medical waste samples collected at Thai Binh Hospital of Tuberculosis and 19 samples obtained from the The Hanoi Institute for Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases. Spoligo model of 31 samples were analyzed based on Spotclust and SpoIDB4 database and divided up into family and subfamily.\r\n', u'Results: Spoligotyping technique has good results with the PCR product amplified 40 cycles and presented the film in 18 hours. Obtained results in 31 medical waste samples belong to 4 families: Beijing, EAI, T1 and H3-LAM9. EAI and Beijing are dominant families with 45.16% and 38.7%), respectively. T1 and H3-LAM9 are 12.9% and 3.22%, respectively. The number of samples in the study is little but the obtained rate of different spoligo models of strains are quite diversified (41.9%)\r\n', u'Conclusion: This result is relatively appropriate with previous studies on the distribution of EAI and Beijing families in Vietnam and the world. Spligotyping technique distinguished samples belonging to Beijing or non-Beijing families, which support for clinical treatment and development of new vaccines.\r\n', u'\r\n', u'\r\n', u'
