1.Ecstasy – is very dangerous
Pharmaceutical Journal 2003;326(6):32-32
Ecstasy has been registered in 1914 as an anti-tired medicament for military use. From the year 1980, Ecstasy becomes an excitant using in amusing with the name of “shaking drug”, “Rabid drug”. After consumption, users become cheery, infatuated, vigilant, untiring, loosing of the feel of hunger, fond of groping for and embracing, drinking alcohol and beer, dancing in all night. In the state of passionately fond the user can kill and rape. After a stage of exciting, the user can get severe and long weakening, get psychologic disturbance, get acute hepatitis. The harmfulness of ecstasy can be continuously listed

2.Take care when utilize antibiotics
Pharmaceutical Journal 2003;9():37-38
Antibiotic use must carefully and must exactly consider according to indication and combined exactly method and disease. To against antibiotic resistance, urgent methods is needed such as drugs used exactly disease, sufficient dose and enough time. For physicians, should careful if prescribe antibiotic, don't use new drug if older drug still effective, review antibiotic resistance to choose exactly, preservation obey exact standards, limited using antibiotic for cattle and poultry

3.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

4.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

5.Review of 20 years of surgical treatment of deformity of foot cervix and club foot combining with orthopadic equipment and external fixation.
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;233(2):20-22
Center for the trauma and orthopady treated 200 cases of foot deformity in which 1,500 cases received operations. Most of them were congenital club foot (70%) followed by club food due to the polio fever(20%) due to the brain paralysis (5%) and due to arthrogrip ossis (5%). The orthopadic equipments were applied for 35 cases. The equipment was used within 5 weeks and continuously fixed by gypsum up to 3 months from the day of operation.

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%.

7.Clinico-anatomical comparison of patient with necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;454(6):34-35
Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum is a rare disease and possibly confused with another conditions such as sarcoid disease, rheumatic pimple … In its histopathological study, it must consider the histochemical methods in detecting the damage of connective fiber tissues as well as clinical signs of the disease. The gender ratio is 1/3 (male/female), the mean age of onset is 30 years old. The necrotic lipoid tissue can occur in various areas – thigh, leg, foot, hand and head skin, most commonly in the right face of the leg

8.Remark about magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of 2 common spinal intramedullary tumor types: ependymomas and astrocytomas
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;0(12):35-37
Studying 50 cases with spinal intramedullary tumor at Nerve Department of Bach Mai hospital to diagnose before surgering from 1998 to 2003. Among them, 6 cases with ependymomas and 3 with astrocytomas were taken magenetic resonance. Result showed that ependymomas and astrocytomas were two major typies in intramedullary tumors. Magenetic resonance imaging has some characterstics helping identify these typies according to considering different factors (ex age, site of tumor). Eoendymomas is more in adult. Astrocytomas is more in children.

9.Clinical characteristics of brain stroke
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;463(10):75-77
Research on 150 patients suffer brain stroke at The Nervous Department of 103 Hospital from 4/2000 to 4/2002. Results: brain stroke rate take 8,18% inner patients. The rate of woman per man is 1/.2.20. The highest incidence rate is at 60-69 ages group (38,67%). 109 patients (72,67%) have risk factors and 144 times risk factors were reckon up. The typies of brain stroke distribute to brain infarct 76% (in which 53,33% brain artery thrombosis, 16/675 vacant syndrome, 6% vessel stuck, 24% haemorrhage inner brain (in which 13,33% intracerebral haemorrhage, 9,33% subarachnoid hemorrhage, 1,33% ventricle haemorrhage)

10.Identification of adult worm of human small liver fluke in Hiep Hoa district, Bac Giang province by molecular method
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;519(9):9-12
Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a portion of the cytochrome oxidase 1 (446 nucleotide and 148 amino acid) of mitochondrial genome of adult worm of small liver fluke from human in Hiep Hoa district, Bac Giang (CsNgBG) province was amplified. The nucleotide and amino acid of these sequences were comparatively analyzed with the known Clonorchis sinensis. The analysis revealed that the Bac Giang Clonorchis sp (in human) was similar (100% nucleotide and amino acid) to the Nam Dinh Clonorchis sinensis (identification was done); 99.6% (nucleotide) and 100% (amino acid) homology to the C.sinensis of Chinese strain (CsCN-Gen Bank AF 184619) and Korean strain (CsKor-Gen Bank AF 181889). Thus, the Bac Giang Clonorchis sp is identified as Clonorchis sinensis in Opisthorchidae family, Clonorchis genus. Phylogenetic analysis uniquely placed the Bac Giang Clonorchis sinensis to the group of Chinese and Korean Clonorchis sinensis.
