1.Efficacy of oral zinc complementary for children with long anorexia
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):31-34
To evaluate the effects of zinc on chronic anorexic children, we have divided 132 chronic anorexic children aged 3-48 months old into two groups. The test group was supplemented with iron, vitamins and 10mg of elemental zinc daily orally while the control group was supplemented with iron, vitamins. The results have shown that appetite, energy intakes and growth rate in the test group were improved better than those in the control group (P<0.001; P<0.001; P<0.001 and P<0.025). Initial serum zinc concentration of the chronic anorexic children in the test group is concerned obviously with rehabilitations of energy intakes (P<0.002). Weight and height velocities of the anorexic children with low zinc concentration in test group were lower than those of the anorexic the test group (P<0.005; P<0.005). Zinc supplementation has clearly affected to treat chronic anorexia in children.

Journal of Preventive Medicine 2007;17(6):11-16
Background: Paralysis has been eliminated in Vietnam in 2000. To maintain the achievement, Vietnam needs to have more than 90% of children under 1 age drinking 3 doses of OPV, controlling cases of acute flaccid paralysis and diagnosing for virology in laboratory to determine causes of the disease. Results of laboratory identifying Polio virus and enterovirus in patients with acute flaccid paralysis is evidence of successful in paralytic elimination annually in Vietnam.\r\n', u'Objectives: To of isolate polio virus and enterovirus in patients with acute flaccid paralysis suspected paralysis in 2005.\r\n', u'Subjects and methods: The study included 267 cases with acute flaccid paralysis from 29 provinces, cities in the North and six provinces in the Central of Vietnam during 2005.\r\n', u'Results:Results of surveillance for acute flaccid paralysis and indicators of samples tested in 2005 have reached the criteria regulated by the World Health Organization. 8 poliovirus strains and 56 other non-polio enterovirus strains were isolated from 538 stool specimens of above patients. All isolated poliovirus strains were confirmed as Sabin-like strains. 56 non-polio enterovirus strains included coxsaxkie A (3), conxsackieB (5), echoviruses (34), enterovirus 71 (1) and untyped enteroviruses (13). Wild polio virus was not isolated in 2005.\r\n', u'Conclusion: The result confirmed successfulness in maintaining of poliomyelitis free status in the North and 6 provinces of the Central of Vietnam in 2005.\r\n', u'\r\n', u'\r\n', u'

3.Classification and antibiotic sensitive of caused bacterium in some cases of pneumonia
Journal of Practical Medicine 2004;471(1):35-39
82 cases of pneumonia patients in the community and 3 cases at the hospital aged 62 in average, randomly collected were diagnosed bacteriologically using the samples gathered endoscopically which underwent a quantified culture and the antibiogramme was made by the method of dispersion on ager disk. Results showed that the pathogenes were mainly streptococci then gram(-) bacilli, sensitive with classic beta-lactam antibiotic group. The previous treatment by antibiotic before bacterical detection affected dramatically on the antibiotic sensitivity of pathogenic bacteria, especially with betalactam antibiotic, commonly used now a day.

5.Molecular epidemiology of enterovirus 71 strain isolated in 2003 at HaTay province
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2004;14(4):12-18
A molecular epidemiological analysis of newly isolated strains of EV71 in West Pacific Region was carried out. VP1 region of recently isolated EV71 were sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis had revealed 2 major genogroup B and C. Basing on nucleotid sequences in VP1 region, those 2 genogroups were divided into sub-groups of B1,B2,B3,B4 and C2,C2,C3,C4. North Vietnam isolated EV71 strains and 4 Shanghai isolate EV71 strains had composed a new genogroup belonging to C4 sub-group genes. South Vietnam isolated EV1 strains and Thailand recently isolated EV71 strains had composed special genogroup belonging C1 sub-group genes

6.Malaria epidemiolgy in Tuyen Quang province, 2003
Journal of Malaria and parasite diseases Control 2003;0(4):11-14
In 2003, due to practice effectively malaria prevention programs and intensify supervise malaria epidemiology that malaria prevention in Tuyen Quang provice had good results, gained 3 aims: malaria morbidity reduced 28%, malaria mortality 0%. Malaria epidemiology was stable in Tuyen Quang. However, in 15 malaria parasites in Tuyen Quang in 2003, there was 14 was exotic malaria parasites from the South and other provinces. Therefore, in the later years, beside the investigation, management of Ministy of Health, the government project for malaria prevention, National Institute of Malariology - Parasitology - Entomology, Tuyen Quang needed to implement well malaria epidemiological surveillance in basic levels and malaria preventive plan to maintain gained malaria preventive results

7.Epidemiology of malaria in Dac Lac province for 7 first months 2004
Journal of Malaria and parasite diseases Control 2003;0(6):14-17
Dac Lac is a mountainous province in the centre of Vietnam with the population of 1,735,501 people, 13 districts, 1 town, 165 communes, 2,207 hamlets. The population and ethics in Dac Lac province increase rapidly due to freedly migrated of the people from the whole country, from 1985 up to now. Those characteristics together with complex geographical condition and the largest area of the country, forests, together with low mountains, so malaria in Dac Lac province has annualy the highest incidence and mordarity of the whole country. The situation of malaria in Dac Lac province decrease and stabilized in July 2004. In order to continuing decrease and stabilize the malaria, in Dac Lac province, it must be continue to strengthen the control of malaria, implement the plan of malaria prevention, consolidate the basic network of health and speciality of malaria
