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%.

The pain relief effect of the BS procedure (Betalvine table 40 mg, 2 tables, 2 times daily) in the first 10 days and Sucrategel 1 packet of 1g, 2 times daily in followed 30 days to treat chronical gastritis with HB (+) in 16 patients with Can Khi Pham Vi and 22 patients with Ti Vi Hu Han was studied. After a course of 30 days, the BS procedure demostrated the same pain relief in these two conditions

8.Hospital overload status in Surgery department, Binh Dan hospital
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;456(7):65-66
An inquiry which was conducted with 473 patients of the Department of Surgical Diagnosis showed that in Binh Dan Hospital the number of patients was 3 times higher than designed indicator. Patients were attracted there because of their believe on the hospital due to high quality of medial staff good equipments, prosperity of medicaments and broad advertisement. In addition, because that people did not frequent the hospital at local level hospital due to the lack of believe, the lack of qualified specialties, the low skill of medical staff, the helpfulness prolongation of the treatment, the lack of good equipment and management

9.Study on some factors incluencing on the effectiveness of semi-synthesis of fluoroalkyl ethers of dihydroartemisinine
Pharmaceutical Journal 2004;44(1):8-10
The study examined some factors (solvent, catalysis, temperature) affecting to fluoroalkyl ether subsynthesis effects of dihydroartemisinin. TF-DHA and PF-DHA, two fluoroalkylether derivatives of dihydroartermisinin was prepared by treatment of dihydroartermisin with appropriate fluoroalcohol in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate. The dicloromethan solvent is most efficient option for TF-DHA's preparation

10.Correlation between clinical characters, lymphocyte and CD4+ lymphocyte quantity in peripheral blood of HIV patients
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;0(12):6-9
Investigation sensitivity and specific, predicted nagative and positive value of estimation CD4 cell acording to lymphocyte in peripheral blood. Objects were ≥ 15 of ages, non-pregnant, in and out-treatment in Tropical Hospital from 1-12/2003 patients who had positive HIV serum according to strategy of Ministry of Health. The patients were tested to measure CD4 cell and total lymphocyte. In HIV/AIDS patients, reducing CD4 related to opportunistic infection. 91,7% hospitalized patients due to opportunistic infection have CD4 counts under 200/mm3. When CD4 counts was under 200mm3, 44.3% patients have over one of opportunistic infection. Relationship between lymphocyte in peripheral blood and CD4 quantity was significant. However, interrelate amount reduced as divide according to lymphocte. Estimation CD4200 according to lymphocyte was more accurate with lower of lymphocyte count. But, there are many cases with high blood lymphocyte but the number of CD4 under 200mm3.
