3.Review of 20 years of surgical treatment of deformity of foot cervix and club foot combining with orthopadic equipment and external fixation.
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;233(2):20-22
Center for the trauma and orthopady treated 200 cases of foot deformity in which 1,500 cases received operations. Most of them were congenital club foot (70%) followed by club food due to the polio fever(20%) due to the brain paralysis (5%) and due to arthrogrip ossis (5%). The orthopadic equipments were applied for 35 cases. The equipment was used within 5 weeks and continuously fixed by gypsum up to 3 months from the day of operation.

4.Introduction of urodynamic studies
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2003;7(2):68-74
To survey the basic measurements of urodynamic as cystometry, uroflowmetry, electromyography, urethral profilometry. Currently, it may be to combine measurements each other or urodynamic with image diagnostic technique in order to have comprehensive consideration, more accurate on lower urinary tract function: To combine with cystometry, uroflowmetry and electromyography, detrusor pressure measurement, to combine with cystometry and observe reflection of light of cystoids under fluorescent screen, video-urodynamics

5.Varicocele - Updated knowledge on diagnosis and treatment
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2003;7(4):195-200
Varicocele is a dilatation of plexus venosus in the spermatic cord. It rarely occurs before the age of puberty, but 15% of male teenager experienced varicocele (the rate is relatively high). This rate is higher when surveying data of male infertility (35% of primary infertility patients, and 75-81% of secondary infertility patients had experienced varicocele). Varicocele may affect both sides, but 90% of cases occurred in 1 side and among them 90% were in the left side. Microsurgery is a treatment with high rate of success

6.Study on the hemodynamometry in 2 positions to predict the development of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;232(1):31-36
Fifty three of normogravid - normotensive women who subsequently developed pregnancy - included hypertension demonstrated an increase in diastolic blood pressure at least 20 mmHg when turned from the lateral recumbent to the supine position, between twenty eight and thirty six weeks of gestation. Conversely 95.8% percent of women who did not demonstrate such a rise in diastolic blood pressure when turned to supine position did not become hypertensive during that pregnancy. The results demonstrated the high validity of this method as follow: the sensivity of predictive value: 65%. The specificity of predictive value: 93%, the positive predictive value: 53%, the negative predictive value: 96%.

7.Polymorphism of black snake venom Ribonuclease II –chromatographical forms
Journal of Medicinal Materials - Hanoi 2004;9(3):89-93
By ion-exchange chromatography, the existance of Ribonuclease from Vietnam’s black cobra. Venum in multiple molecular forms was confirmed. Its two separated peaks were noted on CM-cellulose column chromatography. At present , the nature of these RNase chromatographic forms are unknown, but it is probably that they possess quaternary structure

8.Testosterone like Yang tonic effect of Poliarchis dives (CT1)
Journal of Medicinal Materials - Hanoi 2004;9(3):93-95
The tonic effect of Poliarchis dives (CT1) was studied on the change of weight of the spermatic bag in male mice. Results showed that this preparation enhanced the weight of spermatic bag by 183,33%. Testosterone-like spermatogenesis activity of the preparation was suggested

Journal of Practical Medicine 2004;471(1):19-21
30 patients with check sunburn, aged 18-60 years old treated by hydroquinone 2% in combining with sun protected cream. After 6 moths pigment reduced by 45,6%, mean size of lesion reduced by 78%. 90- 100% of patients had the size of lesion reduced by 13,4% and 61% of patients had the size of lesion reduced by 70-89%.

10.Some biochemical and haematological indexes of overweight and adiposis adults and elders in Thai Nguyen province
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;517(8):31-33
Studying some biochemical and haematology indexes of senior citizens in Thai Nguyen city, the results as follows: Haematology and fatty indexes of 2 senior citizens group is similar. Over 92% of study group have cholesterol higher than that of control group (p<0.020.) Triglycerid, HDL-C, LD-C of the study group are more than that of the control group, but there is not statistic significance.
