1.Researching actual situation of people's health care activities at the two low mountainous communes of Bac Kan province
Journal of Practical Medicine 2004;484(8):43-47
Researching actual situation of people's health care activities at the two communes Tan Tien and Quan Binh of Bach Thong district, Bac Kan province showed that: both two communes had primary health care boards of which members were representatives of all agencies and line organizations. However, effectiveness of these boards was limited because they worked :seasonally" and formally. Finance for health was mainly from state budget. Health activities of the two communes was mainly depended on state and there had been some barriers. Health insurance for the poor was only 30% and treatment for health insurance hadn't implemented at commune health station. Broadcastting activities faced many obstacles.

2.Survey on food safety and hygiene managemnet in Viet Nam
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 2004;300(7):40-44
The analysis of 1999-2000 year period related documents and reports from various ministries,governmental bodies and sectors, diverse regions and sites,as well as from the leaders of functional bodies and agencies responsible to food safety and hygiene inspection, and from the food fabricators and traders had showed that in the year 1999, in 53/61 provinces and cities, there were a considerable number of intoxicated events, almost at home meals and at the meals of large number of consumers. Because of the lacking of qualified personal staff, of proper equipment, there were many difficulties in management of food safety and hygiene. Intersectorial coordination was established in this field, but there were not a clear assignment and an appropriate equipment. Regulation system of inspection and treatment of violation was not adequate and synchronous

3.Human influenza like illness caused by adenovirus at Da Lac province in 2004
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2007;17(3):5-9
Background: Bacteria are among the common pathogens in Vietnam and other developing countries. Antibiotics are effective in the treatment, but the antibiotics gradually become ineffective due to drug resistance of bacteria, especially in children. The study on influenza virus in 2001-2003 has resulted in preventative activities against the acute respiratory tract infections in children.\r\n', u'Objectives: Determine the root cause bacterial infections and often determine the extent of antibiotic resistance of common pathogenic bacteria isolated in Hai Phong pediatric Hospital.\r\n', u'Subjects and method: At Microorganism Department of Hai Phong pediatric Hospital from January 2003 to December 2004, 558 trains of common pathogenic microorganisms were isolated from 0 -15 year old children clinical samples such as: blood, pus, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, stool...These samples of isolated microorganisms were also tested on their sensitiveness to several antibiotics.\r\n', u'Results:Findings showed that the 3 most frequently recognized bacterier out of 11 antibiotic sensitive tested species were: streptococcus pneumoniae (20.61%), neisseria (18.1%), E.coli (15.95%); and the most resisted antibiotics included: Co-trimoxazole, Chloramphenicol and Ampiciline. The staph was resistant to general Chlora, phenicol, Co-trimoxazol, and also sensitive to cefotacim, Amikacin. In the bacillus bacteria tested were resistant blue latex all, only works with Amikacin.\r\n', u'Conclusion: Its also found that every kind of tested bacterium had got various levels of sensitivity to different of antibiotics.\r\n', u'

4.Study on a selection of domestic standard for distributing delta3 - cefaclor to quantify and quality the cefaclor by high performance liquid chromatography
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;408(2):44-46
System suitability tests are an integral part of liquid chromatographic technique. They are used to verify the resolution (R) and reproducibility of the analysis to be done. HPLC method for assaying the related substances test of Cefaclor in raw material as well as in pharmaceutical dosage forms introduced to some pharmacopoeia such as EP, USP need to use Delta- 3 cefaclor as the internal standard to verify the suitability of chromatographic system. In case of lacking it to use, Cephalexin can be used as the internal standard in place of Delta-3 cefaclor.

5.Virological study of acute flaccid paralysis cases caused by polioviruses and other enteroviruses during the period from 1993 to 1997 in the northern region and 5 provinces of the central region of Vietnam
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2002;12(3):23-28
During the period from 1993 to 1997, 126 poliovirus positive cases from samples of 1.098 acute flaccid paralysis patients of all provinces in the Northern region and 5 others in the Central region of Viet Nam have been identified. Among them 97 cases were caused by poliovirus type 1, 5 by type 2, 10 by type 3, 11 were identified as a multitype infection and 3 cases were the combination of poliovirus and enteroviruses. The antigenic properties of the poliovirus strains isolated have been studied using monoclonal antibody and polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that, 53 strains of poliovirus type 1 were identified as the wild-type virus, the rest were of Sabin-type virus. The wild poliovirus strains were then classified in to 2 groups by polymerase chain reaction - restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequencing methods. No case of wild type virus was isolated since 1994.

6.Investigation on circulation and mutation of Sabin poliovirus strains isolated from AFP cases and from OP-vaccineated healthy children
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2001;11(2):28-35
During the period from 1999 to 2000, 12 poliovirus isolates were obtained from acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases and 2 from healthy children who have been vaccineated with Sabin's oral polio vaccine. These isolated have been examined by PCR-RFLP. The results showed that the isolates were genetically identical to the regional Sabin's poliovirus strains

7.Enteroviruses and poloviruses isolated in patients with acute flaccid paralytic syndrome in 2004
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2005;15(5):72-75
In 2004, 10 poliovirus strains were isolated from 4 acute flaccid paralytic cases (AFP). All these poliovirus strains were confirmed as Sabin-like strains. 66 other non-polio enterovirus strains were also isolated including 29 echoviruses, coxsackie B viruses and 30 untyped enteroviruses. These virus strains were isolated from 489 stool specimens of 245 AFP cases. The results confirmed the free status of the stable sustaining poliomyelitis in Viet nam.

8.Enteroviruses isolated in patients with acute flaccid paralysis in 5 years after poliomylitis eradication, 2000-2004
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2005;15(5):76-79
In the period from 2000 to 2004, 393 non-polio enterovirus strains were isolated containing 140 Echoviruses, 35 coxsackie viruses and 218 untyped enteroviruses. These viral strains were isolated from 2,232 stool specimens of 1,116 patients with acute flaccid paralysis. 32 poliovirus isolates were all Sabin viruses. The result confirmed the free status of the sustaining of poliomyelitis between 2000 and 2004 in Vietnam.

10.The postzosterian pain treatment: A comparison between amitriptyline and Di-antalvic
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2003;7(2):104-109
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
