1.Some comments about sex and average age of cerebral palsy
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;466(11):54-57
In studying 155.633 subjects living in Ha Tay, among them 238 suffered from cerebral palsy, 54% of cases are male, 46% female. Gender ratio male/female: 1.16, varying with age groups. The highest 1.9 in under 10 years of age group. The lowest 0.2 of > 50 years of age group. Cerebral palsy patients mean age are 18.2 versus 28.3 of normal population in this survey. Average age and maximal age of cerebral palsy patients in Ha Tay are lower than those of the patients in developed countries

2.Comparing the treatment of menorrhagia caused of typical endometrial hyperplasia by progestin and some other methods
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;0(6):10-11
A study on 216 patients who had endometrial hyperplasia, these patients had been examined and treated from June 1999 to June 2004 at National hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 included 108 patients who were given Orgametril 5mgx 2 tablets/day; group 2 included 108 patients who received only consultation and follow up 6 months after being endometrium curetted. Results: After 6 months of treatment with progestin (Orgametril), there were only 3 patients in group 1 had pathological signs of endometrial hyperplasia (2.8%); 94 patients recovered completely (87%). In group 2, there were 74 patients recovered completely (64.8%) and 19 patients had pathological signs of endometrial hyperplasia (17.6%). After being treated, old patients had endometrium changed into menopause stage: atrophy, thinner and stop working, they also did not have menorrhagia anymore.

3.Evaluation of the effectiveness of menorrhagia treatment with rigevidon at Newborn & Mother Protection Hospital
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;512(5):54-56
Study was carried out on 80 mechanical energy menorrhagia patients under 18 years of age, treated with rigevidon combined with preventive antibiotics and commonly drugs as oxytoxine, ecgometrine at the Newborn & Mother Protection Hospital in 2000. The results showed that: with single dose of 2 tablets per day, taken in unique time in the evening, and then reduction of dose to 1 tablet per day when bleeding stopped, to make a 28 days menstruation cycle, the good efficacy was observed in 96.25% of patients (77 patients respond well to treatment). After, maintain treatment for 3 months following to make an artificial menstruation cycle then stop completely. All of patients had no any seriously complications, including menorrhagia after stopping treatment

4.The treatment of active chronic B hepatitis using lamivudine
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2004;0(7):28-31
This randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study evaluated the efficacy of lamivudine in 44 Vietnamese patients with histologically documented chronic hepatitis B for one-year. The patients were randomly assigned to receive 100 mg of lamivudine (22 patients) orally once daily or placebo (22 patients). The patients underwent liver biopsies before entering the study and after completing the assigned treatment regimen. At the end of therapy, the percentage of serum HBVDNA negativation was higher in the lamivudine group (86.4%) than in the control group (22% P<0.05). The rate of HBe/antiHBe seroconversion was statistically different between 2 groups (35.2% in the lamivudine group compared to 12.5% in the controls). 95.5% of the patients received lamivudine had normal alanine aminotransferase levels (versus 18.2% in the placebo). Median change in HAI score was >2 points of improvement versus placebo. Lamivudine is less side effects, safety, and favorable

Pharmaceutical Journal 2003;322(2):24-25
Crateva advansonnii DC.-Capparaceae is a medicinal plant which has been used as an antidote for snakebite in Tay Ninh province and in Cambodia. The chemical study on the bark of this plant led to the isolation as a triperpen with structure was unambigously determined as epi-lupeol by UV, IR and NMR spectral data

6.To evaluate the change of blood vafor in low circuit anesthesia with Julian-Drager apparatus of anethesia
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;469(12):67-68
30 patients aged 13-65, ASA 2,3 underwent an anesthesia for openly operating because of the morbidity of valve, coronary arteries, interauricle communicatio, inter-ventricle communicatio. Results showed obvious changes of heart rate before and after the anesthesia, blood pressure had got little diagnostic values, oxygene saturations was improved dramatically. Low circuit anesthesia with modern apparatus and monitoring with completed parameters was an anesthetic method of high safety, efficacy low cost, with a stabilized hemodynamics, adequate supplying of oxygene, without CO2 accumulation in the blood

7.The exploratory methods in diagnosis of hyperplasia
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;512(5):17-18
Study on 72 typical hyperplasia patients, preservative drug treatment with progestin (Organmetril). The subjects were detailed examined, then were implemented exploratory tests, treated and followed-up regularly 3-6 months. Results: hyperplasia was common disease in all of aged of woman’s fertilizable period, with non-ovule menstruation cycle, specially in peri-menopause. Clinical feature was menorrhagia. To diagnose exactly, medical professionals required to combine exploratory methods as vaginal cytology, mucosal uterus ultrasound, uterus chamber endoscopy, ana-pathology of mucosal uterus piece,… in which ana-pathology of mucosal uterus piece had the most important role.

8.Decompressive craniectomy for large supratentorial infarction: a case report
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2005;10(2):83-84
Report one case of a 52 years old male patient who lived in Vinh Long province, admitted at January 27th 2005. Patient was treated first aid at Vinh Long Hospital, and then he was operated at the Department of Neurosurgery of People’s Hospital No 115. CT scan found large supratentorial infarction accounted for 3/4 of right hemisphere area that adequate with the supplying blood area of media cerebral artery, and imagine of temporal lobe herniation , subfalcial herniation. Patient was intensively treated by anti-cerebral edema and was conducted hematological tests. Then he was indicated decompressive surgery. Results of CT scan after 24 hours after operation showed that the middle line was regained more, brain delivered cerebral notch. One week after operation, patient was conscious, GCS=15, left hemiplegia, muscle power=2/5. Patient discharged after 10 days with GOS=4, and was intended treating by auto-grafting after 3 months

9.Situation on gynecological infections of the lower reproductive track among ever married women of reproductive age in Thien Phuoc district, Quang Nam province in 2004
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;0(12):69-71
A gynecological study on 548 married women at reproductive ages living in Tien Phuoc district, Quang Nam province showed that: among them 207 women had infections of the lower congenital-urinary tract (37.77%). Pathogenic agents: 99.52% of the cases were a single agent with such as bacteria 70.53%, Candida albicans 25.12%; Trichomonas vaginalis 3.86%. There was one case of infection caused by two different agents, bacteria and Candida albicans. There were 117 cases (56.53%) with clinical lesions including: 30.91% cervicitis with glandular epithelial eversion, 21.26% purely cervicitis, 36.68% of the women had abnormal leukorrhea of which 21.90% was pus-like leukorrhea.

10.To study the variation of histological activity indices in chronic B hepatitis patients treated by limivudine
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;425(5):27-28
44 patients of chronic B hepatitis are divided into two groups of 22 patients. The one is treated with lamivudine (Jefflix) 100 mg daily in 12 months continuously and the other with usual vitamin and liver tonics. Results showed in 72.7% patients of lamivudine group, the indices of histological activities were improved (through Knodell score), while in controlled group – 31.8% and over the half of this group these indices worsened. Thus, lamivudine has got good effect
