1.The value of CROP index in predicting the result of weaning from mechanical ventilation
Journal of Practical Medicine 2004;483(7):74-76
From December 2000 to March 2003, at Huu Nghi Hospital, 85 patients with tracheal intubation were studied. There was no statistically statistic significances between 2 groups (of success and of failure) concerning the age, predicted body mass, the duration of mechanical ventilation. The causes of respiratory deficiencies needing mechanical ventilation were: infections, cerebral infarctus, cerebral hemorrhagy, acute left heart failure, acute myocardiac infarctus, diabetes. CROP diagnostic value of weaning from mechanical vetilation was higher in success group than in failure group. Threshold value of CROP index 13 (ml/breathing rythm/minute) had got a sensitivity of 0.65, specificity 0.89, predicted positive value 0.84, negative 0.74, under curb surface ROC = 0.875.

2.Functional food - nutraceutical product: Some opinions by view-point of management
Pharmaceutical Journal 2003;321(1):7-10
The concept of nutraceutical food was introduced firstly in United State in 1989 by Stephen Defelice, the founder of the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine. It is defined as a product that considered as a food or a part of food, provided medical or health benefits, including disease prevention and treatment”. The health sector should review and re-evaluate the importance and potential of the nutraceutical food market and plan the development strategy for this novel avenue. The unique definition of nutraceutical product is needed. The Ministry of Health should direct the management of these products as medications rather than foods and the regulations of registration, labeling and take testing samples should be available

3.Mosquito infection with microfilaria two years after administration of a combination of diethycarbamazine and albendazole in Khanh Vinh district, Khanh Hoa province
Journal of Malaria and parasite diseases Control 2003;0(1):64-68
The study was conducted in Khanh Trung commune, Khanh Vinh district of Khanh Hoa province to assess the mosquito infection two years after DEC administration. Seventeen species of mosquito belonging to 5 genera have been found of which the main vector Wuchereria bancrofti was predominant. Indoor collection of Culex quinquefasdatus at daytime and nighttime was 3.5 and 2.3 individuals/house, respectively. Cx. vishnui was mainly found on the cattle sheds with an average density of 4.6 individuals/shed. A total of 578 mosquitoes of five species (Cx. quinqllefasciatus, An. vaglls, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, Cx. vislznui, Cx. fuscocephalus) were dissected. None of them were positive with microfilaria.

4.To compare the active vascularity restoration in microtome flaps after pediculation of arteries and vena
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;425(5):46-49
66 flaps including 6 controlled, were divided into two models, each includes 30 flaps and each model was divided into 5 groups, evaluated after 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 days after implantation. From the random implantation of a isolated pedicle of artery or vena in an abdomen skin flap, new blood vessels occurred and connected with the existent system of vessels in the flap. After 20 days, new vascularity was established in both models, as the same in the control group. Blood supply was considered appropriate and the flap could be moved safely along the newly implanted pedicle

5.Application of some method for diagnosing allergy to discover the bronchial asthma to house dust mite
Journal of Practical Medicine 2000;383(6):36-39
40 patients with bronchial asthma in Bach Mai hospital from 6/1998 to 5/1999 and 31 healthy people without allergy. Methods: finding the allergic history and skin test. The results: 52.5% of patients had his own allergic history; 42.5% of patients had a family history; 37.3% of patients had positive skin tests to foreign bodies of house dust mite; 32.5% of patients had allergic antibody against foreign bodies of house dust mite was more 30%. Among methods of specific diagnosis of allergy, there was a close relation between skin test and reaction of decomposition of mastocyte.

6.Contribution to establishment and completion of some criteria of cytologic diagnosis in 5 frequent bronchial cancers
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 2001;263(9):9-14
Contribution to the establishment and /or improvement of study on some criteria of cytologic diagnosis 5 major lung carcinomas. 50 cases of lung cancer including 14 squamous carcinomas, 18 adenocarcinomas, 8 large cell carcinomas, 8 small cell carcinomas and 2 adeno-squamous carcinomas were diagnosed cytologically and confirmed by histological confrontation. Criteria of cytologic diagnosis were presented and discussed.

7.Atypical squamous cell with undetermined significant, a newly issue in screening the cervical cancer
Journal of Medical Research 2001;15(2):37-41
In bethesda, the first requirement is correct and enough collection of sample which helps evaluating correctly. In the table of the detailed described diagnosis including 6 major classes, the a typical squamous cells with undetermined significant (ASCUS) followed the class of reaction lesion and is the first position of the class of the early cancer in screening the cervical cells in recent years. Therefore, ASCUS is considered as a lesion in the medium level, higher than the repaired lesion such as reserve cell hyperplasia or squamous cell teroplasia at the lower level of the squamous intrathelial lesion including types of low and high toxicity.

8.Early detection of cervix cancer by cytological screening
Journal of Medical Research 1998;5(1):3-6
26,492 women from various regions, including 207 communes (203 from the North and the Middle of Vietnam, 4 from Can Tho province) and 3 hospitals (2 in Ha noi and 1 in Can Tho) have been examined (from 1990 to 1996) in order to detect early lessions of cervix cancer by cytological screening. The results are summarized respectively as follows: 1. Communes (on the whole): SIL all types (3.36%) among them LSIL (2.49%) and HSIL (0.87%); invasive carcinomas (0.029%). In Can Tho province (corresponding rates): 3.69% with LSIL (2.71%), HI|SIL (0.98%) and invasive carcinomas (0.06%). 2. Hospitals. Ha noi hospitals: SIL all types (5.62%) with HSIL (2.28%) and invasive carcinomas (0.05%). Can Tho hospital (respectively): 4.57%, 2.38% and 2.75%. The diffirences betwween the morbidity and the ASR (100,000 people) in the North and in the South are discussed.
