2.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

3.Ecstasy – is very dangerous
Pharmaceutical Journal 2003;326(6):32-32
Ecstasy has been registered in 1914 as an anti-tired medicament for military use. From the year 1980, Ecstasy becomes an excitant using in amusing with the name of “shaking drug”, “Rabid drug”. After consumption, users become cheery, infatuated, vigilant, untiring, loosing of the feel of hunger, fond of groping for and embracing, drinking alcohol and beer, dancing in all night. In the state of passionately fond the user can kill and rape. After a stage of exciting, the user can get severe and long weakening, get psychologic disturbance, get acute hepatitis. The harmfulness of ecstasy can be continuously listed

4.Take care when utilize antibiotics
Pharmaceutical Journal 2003;9():37-38
Antibiotic use must carefully and must exactly consider according to indication and combined exactly method and disease. To against antibiotic resistance, urgent methods is needed such as drugs used exactly disease, sufficient dose and enough time. For physicians, should careful if prescribe antibiotic, don't use new drug if older drug still effective, review antibiotic resistance to choose exactly, preservation obey exact standards, limited using antibiotic for cattle and poultry

5.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.

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.Contribution of the anterior interosseous artery to the blood supply for posterior forearm region and applications in designing the posterior interosseous forearm flap
Journal of Medical Research 2005;37(4):5-10
The anterior interosseous artery (AIA) plays an essential role in designing the posterior interosseous forearm flap (P.I.F.F). Understanding about anatomy of this artery permit us to find us to find out new solutions to design the P.I.F.F. in situations at which there are variations of the PIA. Objectives: (I) to evaluate the role of the anterior interosseous artery in the blood supplying to the posterior forearm region; (II) assessing the importance of anterior interosseous artery in designing the posterior interosseous forearm flap. Methods: 27 forearms of adults obove 25 years old, including 25 forearms fixed in formalin 4% and 2 fresh forearms, are objects for us to expose the AIA and PIA by different techniques. Results: There are 2-5 perforating branches of the AIA to the deep muscular layer of posterior. They connect to each other and to the muscular branch of the PIA, and their diameter becomes much larger in two cases of absence of the PIA. Branches from this series of arterial anastomoses distribute also to the skin of inferior half of posterior forearm. The posterior terminal branche of the AIA divides into the medial and recurrent branch. These two branches ascend and anastomose with the PIA and the muscular branch of the PIA, respectively. The medial branch of the posterior terminal branch is absent or disconnected with the PIA at two other cases. Conclusion: Our results indicate that the AiA supplies the inferior half and the deep muscular layer of the posterior forearm. The posterior interosseous forearm flap can still be raised in situations at which the posterior terminal branch of AIA communicates with the dorsal carpal arcus but not with the PIA and the PIA is absent.

9.Heterogeneous susceptibility of Helicobacter pylori isolated from a single biopsy in adults and children to metronidazole and clarithomycin
Journal of Medical Research 2005;38(5):23-27
Growing increase in resistance of H. pylori strains to antibiotics of choice is identified worldwide, requiring further investigating susceptible characteristics of the germ to these agents. Objectives: To assess the resistance of H. pylori individual colonies from a single biopsy to metronidazole and clarithromycin. Methods: The E - test was used to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) of these two antimicrobial drugs for ten H. pylori colonies isolated from an initial gastric biopsy culture from each of 14 adults and 14 children. Results: Among patients haboring HP strains resistant to these 2 antimicrobials, we observed heterogeneity in metronidazole resistance in 14/22 cases and in clarithromycin resistance in 3/13 cases. The number of resistant individual colonies ranged from 2/10 to 9/10 depending on subjects. Conclusions: In the same biopsy from both adults and children different colonies of H. pylori displayed different antimicrobial susceptibility patterns prior to anti - H. pylori treatment, rendering antibiogram interpretation difficult.
