1.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

2.Evaluation of the antioxidant activity (AOA) of traditional medication by assaying the iodine index of Tween 80
Pharmaceutical Journal 2001;298(2):21-23
A study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity (AOA) of traditional medication by determining the iodine index of Tween 80 in tentative samples (with the extraction of traditional medication) and control samples (without the extraction of traditional medication). It should not apply the spectrometry to evaluate the AOA of these medication because of their complicated chemical components, especially chromatic compounds which interfere the photic density

3.Laparoscopic management of renal cystic disease
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2004;9(4):234-236
Laparoscopic management of renal cystic disease is a safe and effective method for treating those cysts that have indications for surgical intervention. Long term results of treatment of simple cysts, peripelvic cysts, indeterminate cysts and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease are so good. The approach - transperitoneal or retroperitoneal - depend on the disease, anatomic location and the preference and expertise of surgeons

4.Retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy in children: The first case in Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2004;4(5):273-274
An 11 years old male patient hospitalized with a left nates pain constantly from a baby. Sometimes he had fevers with hematocyturia. Belly examination had without tumor. Laparoscopy discovered a whole left kidney with water. Some cysts had turbid liquid. The level of creatinin serum was 7mg/L. Netroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy had been operated for this patient on September 1st 2004. The operating time was 100 minutes, and blood loss was 20 ml. The patient was discharged 4 days after surgery. Netroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy could been performed in children. Surgery had few invasion, the operating time was no longer than open surgery, but the recover progresion was shorter after operation

5.Conservative management of a retroperitoneal bowel perforation after percutaneous nephrolithotomy
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2003;8(4):235-236
Latrogenic extraperitoneal bowel perforation accounts for 0.8% of potential adverse events of percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Most of perforated cases were detected post-operatively because of non-specific clinical symptoms. Conservative management may be performed in cases of retroperitoneal injuries by using separation technique of colon from involved kidney to prevent the formation of fistula.

6.Preparation of a national reference freeze - dried rabies vaccine
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2003;13(6):29-33
Standard lyophylized rabid vaccine produced from CVS strain of Biopharma-Indonesia has met the criterion in terms of sterility, safety, efficacy (14.24 IU/ml), thermo-stability 37oC/month (5.4 IU/ml) and residual humidity (3.34%). Immune responsivity of the standard sample vaccine was determined by neutralizing method reaching 1/5 = 3.8 IU/ml; 1/25 = 1.7 IU/ml and 1/125 = 0.7 IU/ml

7.Sulfur-containing compounds from Allium sativum L.
Journal of Medicinal Materials - Hanoi 2005;10(2):51-54
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) belongs to the family Liliaceae. It has been used worldwide for long time as spice and folk medicine. Sulfur-containing compounds from Allium sativum L. are especially noticed because these compounds in Allium sativum L. is significantly higher than those in other plants, and due to its pharmacological activities in sulfur-containing medications such as penicillin and sulfonamide antibiotics. From the liquid obtained by garlic cloves press, four sulfur-containing compounds were isolated. Their structures have been elucidated using MS and NMR spectroscopic methods to be ajoene (1), 2-vinyl-4H-1, 3-dithiine (2), diallyl trisulfide (3) and methyl allyl trisulfide (4)

8.Adrenal tumors: surgical treatment
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2003;8(3):158-159
Both benign and malignant tumors in adrenal glands could make hypersecretion syndrom arised. Benign tumor usually has small size, homogenous intensity on cross-section. Opening surgery to remove the adrenal gland remains a safe and effective operation. However, a well trained surgeons can remove the tumors by endoscopy. It is an invasive interference with a short term hospitalisation with very low rate of complications.

9.The role of positron emission tomography in the diagnosis of urologic malignancies
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2005;10(1):28-30
Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has a limited role in the diagnosis of prostate cancer mainly because of the low uptake of FDG in the tumor. FDG-PET has shown some advantages in the assessment of lymph nodes and bone metastases. FDG-PET has a significant potential to assist with the diagnosis and management of testicular cancer. PET has been most useful in defining the presence or absence of disease in patients with residual masses. Role of PET in renal cell carcinoma and bladder cancer is so limited. Some new marked atoms have studied to increase effects of PET in diagnosis urologic malignancies

10.Extraperitoneal laparoscopic pelvic ureterolithotomy: case report
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2005;10(2):85-86
Report one case of a male patient, aged 32 years old, admitted hospital due to left sciatica for two years. Ultrasound studies discovered 3-degree left hydronephrosis due to left ureterolithiasis. The patient was extraperitoneal laparoscopic pelvic ureterolithotomy. Operation time was 130 minutes; blood loss was about 10ml. The patient refarted on the first day; drainage was pulled out on the second day and discharged on the third day after operation. He only used pain relief medication on the first postoperation day. After one week, the patient was reexamined to pull out ureteral catheter. The incision healed well. Extraperitoneal laparoscopic surgery was minimally invasive, so patient could feel comfortable in postoperative period was for s
