From Jan to Dec 2001, in 8 studied institutions, an internal clinical trials were performed on 1.520 women of > 18 years old, with < 57 day in uterus pregnancy, who went a medical abortion using 200 mg mifepristone and 400 mg oral misoprostol two days after. Results showed a success of this procedure on 90% of abortion women. Choosing by oneself, 88% of women preferred to choose oral misoprostol used at home and 12% at consultative room. This method of abortion is safe, effective, capable to use widely in various health care levels

A majority of cases of abortion were carried out in state health instititions

Retrospective study included 6894 babies were born at Bach Mai Hospital from 1995 to 1999. Sex ratio was 51.1% boys versus 48.9% girls. Over-term fetal rate tended to increase (5.53%). Rate of cesarean section increased (19.38%). Average weight of infants was 3037 +/- 566g. Risk factors related to abnormalies of reproductive system: rate of congenital malformation was 0.88%, age of parents were under 20 years old at higher risk factor for having premature newborns with congenital malformation and low birth weight than older group. Parents who work in agricultural field have higher risk of having premature newborns with congenital malformation and low birth weight than those work in other fields. Women who had 3 deliveries or more wer more likely to have children with abnomalies than others

A randomized study involved 1,000 women who were 18-44 years of old at Hµ Néi Obstetric-Gynecological Hospital, Hai Bµ Tr­ng Maternity Clinic, and Obstetric Department of Thanh Nhµn Hospital. The cross-sectional survey showed that mean age of participants was 34.1 years. Mean age of leukorrhoea group was 33.4 years and of non-leukorrhoea group was 34.7 years. Mean age at time of marriage was 23.5. Most of participants were housewifery and official, and have finished only primary and secondary school. Severe leukorrhoea was seen in 50.4% of the participants. Most of them (98.4%) have sex relationship only with their husbands. 28.2% have not used any contraceptive method. 0.2% of the participants have external genital ulcer. 31.7% have cervical erosion. 16.5% have pelvicitis.

The study was conducted at 3 provinces: Bac Ninh, Nam Dinh and Ha Tay from November 2001 to July 2002. At each province, 100 women, aged from 21 to 39years old, average blood pressure of 107/68mmHg, average weight of 47kg and average height of 154cm were selected into study. Study on acceptability of 300 Vietnamese women using contractive drug Mercilon, the results showed that: satisfying and acceptance rate is so high about 99%, the side effect was just a little and decreased gradually depending on using duration, menstrual periods are in monthly and frequently, only 1 case faced with amenorrhea, and another case experienced excessive menstruation, 4 cases give up study because of side effects. Thus, satisfying and acceptance rate in Vietnamese women is so high.

A survey was conducted in 7 provinces representative for 7 ecological zones of the country. The aim was to determine mother’s mortality, direct and indirect causes of the death and factors related to mother’s mortality of 61.341 women who gave birth living infants. The estimative of mother’s mortality was 165/100.000 living born children. The risk of mother mortality accounted for 1/334. Direct fatal causes included hemorrhage, pre-eclampsy, infection, complication of artificial abortion, uterin breakage, ectopic pregnancy… Indirect causes included heart disease, hepatitis or liver diseases, cerebrovascular accidents, tuberculosis and malaria. In addition, family factors, economic and culture factors, customs and behaviors were also the factors to ban the accessibility of women to reproductive health.

Implanon contraceptive medicine was used by 120 women aged 18-40 years old from September 2000 to December 2003. There was no case getting pregnancy. Blood pressure and body weight had not changed significantly. The bleeding pattern had changed in comparing with preferable for women were normal bleeding, spare bleeding and amenorrheoa - 88% -. Side effects manifested with low level and most decreased in comparing with that before the study.

Background: Obstetric complications always are the risk factors which impact on pregnant women, especially no having care and treatment on time. Objectives: (1) To determine the rate of obstetric complications in some communes of Hoai Duc district, Ha Tay province. (2) To identify some factors which may have impact obstetric complications in the community. Subjects and method: Conducting a cross \ufffd?sectional survey with 363 women randomly chosen for sampling from the list of 1.530 women of reproductive age having terminated their pregnancy dressed for a six \ufffd?month period (from 1 October 2004 to 31 March 2005) in 10 communes of Hoai Duc district, Ha Tay province. Results: The obstetric complications rate was 9.9%. Obstetric complications recorded under the research often had the following forms: hemorrhage (94.4%), infection and pre \ufffd?eclampsia/eclampsia, each of them (2.8%). obstetric complications regularly happened with women of over 40 years old (20%). Those complications were closely linked to vaginal bleeding symptom during pregnant period with p<0.05. Conclusion: Obstetric complication rate was 9.9%, mostly hemorrhage. There was close relation between obstetric complication with vaginal bleeding symptom during pregnant period.

Background: Investment to meet the man power requirements are recognized as urgent; especially to efficiently implement the National Strategy of Preventive Medicine. To strengthen the capability of provincial preventive medicine centers, the Ministry of Health has approved Decision No 05/2006QD-BYT for functions, tasks, authorization and organizational structure of Provincial Preventive Medicine Centers (PPMCs). Objectives: The study was conducted to evaluate the manpower and organization structure of northern PPMCs and provide recommendations for policy makers. Subjects and method: Using the cross-sectional descriptive method, the study covered the preventive medicine centers of 29 northern provinces between Jan to Jun 2007. The information was collected by interviews and self-reported questionnaires. Results:23/29 PPMCs have not met the criteria of man power stated in the Circular 08/2007/TTLB-BYT-BNV. Only 9/29 PPMCs were well organized in accordance with Decision 05/2006/QD-BYT of the Ministry of Health. The average number of staffs in PPMCs was 50+15. Medical staffs accounted for 53%, out of which 21.1% had postgraduate degrees; 32.2% had graduate degrees and 23.3% had been trained in preventive care. Conclusion: To meet the requirements provided by the Decision No05/2006QD-BYT, the man power and training for staffs in PPMCs should be improved and strengthened.

Background: DNA biosensor is based on micro-nano technologies aimed at developing a rapid diagnostic device of infectious diseases and diseases related to genetic change. Biosensors are compact size, high sensitivity and low cost\r\n', u'Objectives: To evaluate effect of biosensor in detecting specific gene fragments of Herpes Simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV)\r\n', u'Subjects and method: The electrical signals were recognized by means of transducer and from electrochemical detection of the hybridization between the probe 5\ufffd?AT CAC CGA CCC GGA GAG GGA C-3\ufffd?which were covalently immobilised onto the surface of micro electrodessensors in 3-aminopropyltri-ethoxysilance (APTS)-the conducting polymer matrix and the target (specific DNA sequences of HSV in the sample.\r\n', u'Results: The DNA sensor offers a very high sensitivity, a fast response time, less than 1 min with the DNA target concentration up to 1nM in aqueous media at room temperature.However, in order to detect target DNA in the real samples, samples must be extracted DNA, denatured DNA sequences from a double fiber to single fiber. The measurement should be done soon\r\n', u'Conclusion: The results show a large promise to develop quickly DNA sensors for widely application in bio-medical research \r\n', u'\r\n', u'
