Subjects: Amniotic liquids of 25-35 pregnant women in labor. Method: single blind DNA from 1.5 ml of amniotic liquid is reacted by PCR which show that the specific pair of AMELA and AMELB help for synthesis of gene TDF is decision factor for male gender belonging the short sequence of chromosome. The product of reaction will indicate the fetal gender. The correct of technique is 86.7%, and rest is false negative.

Rotavirus is the main cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in children under 5 years old. The study is to sequence nucleotides and amino acids of VP4, VP7, NSP1, and NSP4 genes of 5 passages of human rotavirus strain G1P8. The number of nucleotide mutations of VP4, VP7, NSP4 genes occuring among the passages were 3, 1, and 3, respectively. All these mutations resulted in changes in amino acid composition. No mutation was found in NSP1 gene.

Prospective clinical trial on two groups of patients: one treated with amitryptyline and the other with diantalvic. Results: At the beginning of study, no difference in the severity of pain in both groups. Group 1 had more effective to control pain than group 2. After one week of treatment, group 1 had one case (3.3%) while group 2 had 15 cases (35.7%) didn’t have any improvement. Amitriptyline had more advantages that Diantalvic to treat the postzosterian pain

On 40 subjects of unspecified gender, PCR technique application for identifying DYZ1 gen to determine Y chromosome was performed in 38 subjects (95%). The results were conformed with PCR to identify TDF and the caryotype of the control group using PCR for detecting DYZ gen in determining Y chromosome. The accuracy reached 100% with no pseudonegative or pseudopositive results. The rest 5% (2 subjects) had not Y chromosome definitely. A case of TDF on X chromosome was detected affirmatively, as a first case in Vietnam.

The application of electron microscopy to the rapid diagnosis of viral infection is an important and integral part of diagnostic procedures. Negative staining with a solution of uranyl acetate, which is an electron-dense salt used to stain virus particles, fills the interstices of the virus surface giving the resulting electron micrograph. With ultrathin section was given that new viral encephalitis from cerebrospinal fluids of acute encephalitis syndrome patients a spherical, RNA virus, have enveloped virions about 50-60 min diameter. This virus was sensitivity with C6/36 clone of Aedes albopictus as well as many arboviruses.

Background: Virus is one of main causes of children acute encephalitis syndrome in countries of Asia south-east. In Vietnam, apart from Japanese Encephalitis Virus which is considered as main cause of children acute encephalitis syndrome, there are other viral pathologies, of which is Nam Dinh virus. Nam Dinh virus \ufffd?a novel Arbovirus was isolated from acute encephalitis syndrome patient in northern Vietnam, 2002. The circulation of this virus has been recognized in the north, central, and highland regions. Objective: To observe the multiplication of Nam Dinh virus on the Aedes albopictus cell line clone C6/36. Materials and method: In this study the ultra-thin section method was used to observe the multiplication of the Nam Dinh virus on the Aedes albopictus cell line clone C6/36, 48 hours post-infection. Results and Conclusion: Nam Dinh encephalitis virus got used to Aedes albopictus cell line clone C6/36 and damaged cells, 24-48 hours post-infection. Its multiplication is taking place in the cytoplasm, a typical characteristic of RNA virus. Nucleocapsids of the virus were found in vacuoles of the cell. Proteincapsid of the virus was synthesized in a rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER). After assembling in the cytoplasm, the virus is released from the cell by budding and used the cell membrane as its envelope.

Background: Prenatal diagnosis has become a standard part of obstetrics care. Genetic diagnoses are established prenatally through the sampling of fetal genetic material. So that the presence of fetal DNA in maternal plasma has led to exciting possibilities of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis. Objectives:In order to provide a reliable non-invasive method for diagnostic of the sex linked disorders. Subjects and method: Fetal gender was determined in 10 pregnant women in which 6 male fetus and 4 female fetus. They are between 34 and 36 weeks of gestation using DNA extracted from 1.6ml of each maternal serum. Maternal serum was put into vacutainer SST before delivery while two pregnant women were implemented by caesarean section at Hanoi Hospital for Obstetricts and Gynecology. Results:The 198bp SRY gene-specific sequence on Y chromosome, 261 bp ATL1 gene specific sequence on X chromosome were amplified in nested PCR. The results were confirmed by examination of newborn child after delivery.The mean level of using DNA extracted from maternal serum was 8.73 \xb1 2.36 ng/\xb5l. The mean level extracted fromperipheral blood was 66.2 \xb1 7.07 ng/\xb5l. Conclusion: The 198 bpSRY specific sequence we detected in 6 serum sample from pregnant women with male fetus. In the remaining cases bearing female foetuses only the 261 bp ATL1 gene sequence was detected. The result was completely concordant with the examination of the newborn child after delivery.

Background: The method of immunoelectron microscopy has been found more than 20 years. It is widely applied to detect and identify some types of virus in medical waste samples.\r\n', u'Objectives: To identify antigen location of Rota virus in organelle of the Vero cell and primary monkey kidney cells after infecting and to study the interaction between the virus and host cells.\r\n', u'Subjects and methods: The study was conducted on Rota virus G1P8 (KH0118) isolated from patients with symptoms of acute diarrhea, primary monkey kidney cells collected from Macaca mulatta monkey and the Vero cell of WHO. \r\n', u'Results: Gold particles (10nm) coated protein A and polyclonal antibodies were used to interact directly with Rotavirus proteins \r\n', u'These gold particles with high electron density revealed the antigen location of the Rota virus in the lysosome, pouch and other compartments of the cytoplasm.\r\n', u'Newly assembled viral particles could be identified only after 18-20hours post-infection. It is also noteworthy that viral particles and empty capsides (virus like particles) were comprised into cytoplasmic vesicles associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi system.\r\n', u'Conclusion: In order to better understand the interaction mechanism of virus and host cells, the use of this method together with specific monoclonal antibodies for each protein component of viruses and cells is essential.\r\n', u'\r\n', u'\r\n', u'

Background: HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes AIDS. This virus is passed from one person to another through blood-to-blood and sexual contact. In addition, infected pregnant women can pass HIV to their baby during pregnancy or delivery, as well as through breast-feeding. Objectives:To study the CCR5- 32 and SDF 1-3 A allelic frequence in the HIV -1 infected mothers and their children. Subjects and method: Amplificated on CCR5 and SDF1 gene by PCR and restriction of this fragment length polymorphisme (RLFP) assay for detection of the mutated gene by EcoR1 and Hpall. Results: No mutation of CCR5 was found but only mutation identified at the SDF1 gene. Mutation identified at the SDF1 gene of the mother was: homozygote 2.7% (accounted for 2/37 cases), heterozygote 40.54% (accounted for 15/37 cases) and at the children: homozygote 5.4% (accounted for 1/37 cases), heterozygote 45.95% (accounted for 17/37 cases). The CCR5 chemokin receptor is a co-receptor for M trofic HIV-1 strains, which predominate in the early stage of the HIV disease and SDF-1 natural ligand for the CXCR4 reception. The mutation of these genes protect from HIV-1 infection (slow progression).\r\n', u'Conclusion: It\u2019s necessary to find the mutation of CCR5 and CCR2b related the progression of HIV patients. \r\n', u'
