1.Concentration of IL-6 in serum in anemic and non-anemic pregnant women
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;445(3):11-12
124 pregnant women were examined and monitored at the Military Hospital No 103. The incidence of real physiological and anemia was 75.8% (among them real anemia is 35.5%). IL-6 level in the group with anemic pregnant women was higher than in the group without anemia. There is a negative correlation betweeb IL-6 concentration and Hb level with a coefficient r = -0.8. Low Hb level in anemic pregnant women was often associated with IL-6 increasing phenomenon, when Hb level increased, IL-6 concentration deseased

2.Situation of infection of pelvic cavity in 11 cases received the removal of contraceptive and sterilization
Journal of Practical Medicine 1998;344(1):23-25
A study on the infection of 11 cases received the removal of contraceptive devices and sterilization has shown that there were no vaginitis, or uteritis. The inflammatory usually occurred in the first years of operation, especially first three month. The common symptoms were abdominal pain, metrostaxis. These symptoms indicated the infection of pelvic cavity after implantation of contraceptive device. It should replace the other contraceptive methods.

3.GM-CSF serum level in pregnant woman with or without anemia
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;442(2):12-14
124 pregnant women were investigated for determining the number and the incidence of anemia. Subjects were divided into 3 groups: 50 with physiological anemia, 44 with true anemia and 30 without anemia. Evaluating GM-CSF level in 2 groups of pregnant women with anemia and without anemia. Results showed an incidence of 35.5% with true anemia in the studied group. The detected rate of GM-CSF in woman with anemia and without anemia has a significant difference. The more severe anemia, the higher rate of detected GM-CSF. There is a negative correlation between GM-CSF and Hb level

Background: Situation of extremity injury caused by traffic accidents and occupational accidents are increasing in Vietnam. Therefore, the prevention and fight against these accidents are one of the key objectives to reduce the burden on the families of victims as well as for society. Objectives: To outline situation of extremity injury patients caused by traffic accident, treated in Viet Duc hospital from 2000-2004. Subjects and method: A retrospective study was conducted on 19.845 patients (14.562 males, 5.283 females, aged from 1-97 years old). The subjects were divided into 3 main groups: alone upper extremity injury, alone lower extremity injury and multiple fractures. Results: Extremity injury was common seen in people of working age (78.1%), men more than women (2.76/1 ratio), left foot more than right foot and it was common been in multiple fracture situation due to complex mechanisms of injury (50.3%), alone extremity injury (49.7%). The lower extremity injury was more common seen than upper extremity injury. Open fracture injury (27.3%), in which open fractures in lower extremity were more common seen. Open fractures in both 2 leg bones was the most common seen, accounted for 57.4% among total of open fractures. Amputation accounted for 8.3% among all case of open fractures and 2.3% among all case of extremity injuries. Conclusion: Extremity injury (lower extremity and upper extremity) caused by traffic accidents is common seen. The average, there are 3 emergency surgeries due to open fracture injury were performed daily in Viet Duc hospital per a total of about 11 traumatic emergency surgeries.

A new compound, 3β-acetoxylanosta-7,9(11),24-triene-26-al (3), and seven known compounds (1 – 2 and 4 – 8) were isolated from Ganoderma tropicum (Jung.) Bres. collected in Tay Nguyen, Vietnam. The structures of these compounds were determined by one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and high-resolution ESI-MS, and by comparison with literature data. All of the isolated compounds were tested for nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae-stimulated RAW 246.7 cells. Among them, compounds 2 – 4 and 6 – 8 enhanced the NBT reduction in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the impact of hyperandrogenism (HA) on the outcomes of ovulation induction (OI) using gonadotropin and intrauterine insemination (IUI) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Methods:
This was a retrospective cohort study including 415 patients undergoing OI using gonadotropin and IUI treatment between January 2018 and December 2020 at a single infertility center. Baseline characteristics, clinical and laboratory parameters, and pregnancy outcomes were investigated.
Results:
Among the study population, there were 105 hyperandrogenic (25.3%) and 310 non-hyperandrogenic patients (74.7%). The live birth rate was lower in the HA group than in the non-HA group, but this difference did not reach statistical significance due to the limited sample size (14.3% vs. 21.0%, relative risk=0.68; 95% CI, 0.41–1.14, p=0.153). No predictive factors for live birth were identified through logistic regression analysis.
Conclusion
HA did not negatively affect the outcomes of OI using gonadotropin and IUI cycles in Vietnamese women with PCOS. The result may not be applicable elsewhere due to the large variation in the characteristics of women with PCOS across races and populations.
