1.Treatment of male infertility
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 1999;(1):29-32
A retrospective study was performed on 2,774 infertile couples treated in National Institute of protection of Mother and Newborn from January 1995 to December 1995. 897 male subjects were selected according to semen analysis. The subjects were classified, and divided into primary and secondary infertility groups. Semen analysis shows: 496 cases (53.30%) with normal semen parameters. 204 cases (22.7%) were azoospermia. 233 cases (25.9%) were oligospermia (20 millions/ml sperm). 268 cases (30%) had 20% of strong spermatozoytes. 231 cases (25.7%) were oligospermia with 20% of strong spermatozoytes. All the male infertile patients have required the IAD practice for their partners, therefore a 'Bank of Spermatozoytes' must be recommended

Antibiotic resistance is the most important factor leading to the failure of eradication regimens. This review focuses on the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori primary and secondary resistance to clarithromycin, metronidazole, amoxicillin, levofloxacin, tetracycline, and multidrug in Vietnam. We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Vietnamese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Vietnamese Biomedical databases from January 2000 to December 2016. The search terms included the following: H. pylori infection, antibiotic (including clarithromycin, metronidazole, amoxicillin, levofloxacin, tetracycline, and multidrug) resistance in Vietnam. The data were summarized in an extraction table and analyzed manually. Finally, Excel 2007 software was used to create charts. Ten studies (three studies in English and seven in Vietnamese) were included in this review. A total of 308, 412, 523, 408, 399, and 268 H. pylori strains were included in this review to evaluate the prevalence of H. pylori primary resistance to amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, levofloxacin, tetracycline, and multidrug resistance, respectively. Overall, the primary resistance rates of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, levofloxacin, tetracycline, and multidrug resistance were 15.0%, 34.1%, 69.4%, 27.9%, 17.9% and 48.8%, respectively. Secondary resistance rates of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, levofloxacin, tetracycline, and multidrug resistance were 9.5%, 74.9%, 61.5%, 45.7%, 23.5% and 62.3%, respectively. In Vietnam, primary and secondary resistance to H. pylori is increasing over time and affects the effectiveness of H. pylori eradication.
