2.Dosage of nimesulide in tablets by second derivative UV spectrum method
Pharmaceutical Journal 2003;234(4):16-18
Used second order derivative UV (200-500nm) spectrum to determine the quantity of nimesulid in tablets without through process of deal with sample. Assess linear interval, limit of detection, limit of determine the quantity between level of nimesulid solution and value of second order derivative in interval of study level, degree of accuracy of the method and result of determine the quantity of nimesulid. The result showed that: process of quantitative nimesulid was built. The method was accurate, sensitive, precise, and reproducible and could be applied directly and easily to the pharmaceutical preparations.

Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;530(11):34-37
The study was conducted at Hanoi Obstetrical and Gynecological Hospital, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. Results: the study showed that there was a tendency for pregnant women to over-use ultrasound scanning. The reasons for this included women’s perceptions of the usefulness of ultrasound scanning, their serious worries for the fetus, as well as the effects of the market economy on this health service. Over-use of obstetrical ultrasound scanning was not only related to the perception, demands and psychology of pregnant women, but also to socio-economic changes associated with the economic reforms and the liberalization of the health care system.

6.The relation between clinical characteristics, laboratory data and the evolution of acute renal failure in primary nephrotic syndrome of children
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):34-35
During the five-year period of 1991-1995, there were 840 children suffered from primary nephrotic syndrome including 52 of acute renal failure with a frequency of 6.19%. In treating, 35.72% of patients got a most rapid decrease of oedema, 66.67% remained lasting oedema, 19.23% got a urine volume restored after 3 days. Before the treatment, hypertension occupied 44.68% and after treatment 27.68% of patients. In 52 studied patients, good response to the treatment occurred in 44 (84.62)%, 8 (15.38%) got the chronic form of renal or died. In regard to laboratory data, in patients with light decrease of blood albumin level, renal function were well restored, while with large decrease, it was worse even could be transformed to chronic or deadly form.

8.Preliminary results of carboxyhemoglobin examination in blood of normal persons
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2002;12(4):45-47
This study was carried out in 72 healthy adults of working age, non-smoking, and non-exposure to occupational carbon monooxide. The results showed that substances coming from factories did not pollute their indoor environment at home. The hemoglobin (Hb) contents of examined persons was within the normal range of 122-165 g/l. Average CarboxyHemoglobin (HbCO) was 0.789+/-0.382%, ranging 0.000 to 1.500%.

Study on the pathogens of septicemia in order to choose appropriately antibiotics in the treatment. Subjects were 138 septicemia patients admitted to Institute of Infectious and Tropical Diseases from June 2001 to May 2002. All patients were taken their blood samples to isolated and culture bacteria during they had high fevers or before taking antibiotics.

10.The postzosterian pain treatment: A comparison between amitriptyline and Di-antalvic
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2003;7(2):104-109
Prospective clinical trial on two groups of patients: one treated with amitryptyline and the other with diantalvic. Results: At the beginning of study, no difference in the severity of pain in both groups. Group 1 had more effective to control pain than group 2. After one week of treatment, group 1 had one case (3.3%) while group 2 had 15 cases (35.7%) didn’t have any improvement. Amitriptyline had more advantages that Diantalvic to treat the postzosterian pain
