Participants were 79 patients with type 2 diabetes, included 25 men and 54 women. Mean age of male patients was 62+/-9 years and of female patients was 65.7+/-9.2 years (mean 64.6+/-9.3 for whole group). Controls were 95 age-matched individuals without diabetes. The type II diabetic incidence increases with age and higher in 50 years of age group. Among patients with type II diabetes, 61.2% of the patients developed disorders in one or more blood lipid parameters. Type of hyperlipidemia in type 2 diabetics is mixed. Dyslipidemia would be more serious if it combined with hypertension. Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL cholesterol and blood triglycerid correlated insignificantly with blood HbA1c and glucose levels.
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 ; Dyslipidemias

A study on 79 type 2 diabetic patients has shown that the average concentrations of glycemia during fasting and after 2 hours of using 75 g of glucose were exceeded the allowed glycemic balance. The average rate of HbA1c was (9.963.33)% Hb, higher 2 times than control (4.87 0.28% Hb). The type 2 diabetic patients were cared better had more stable glycemia and rate of HbA1c.
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 ; Delivery of Health Care

Studying on 50 non-insulin-dependent diabetics in Hue hospital and on 95 non-diabetics shows that the results as follow: (1) Serum HbAIC mean value of diabetic group is 9.122.14 percent in comparison with 4.860.19% of non-diabetics. According to the standards of "The European Concensus on NIDDM 1998", 84% patients of the studied diabetics have poor equilibrium in glycemia. (2) At NIDDM group, serum HbAIC type 2 diabetes, HbAIC level has closer correlation to fasting glycemia (r=0.723, p<0.001) than to two hour after meal glycemia (r<0.618, p<0.01). (3) There's no correlation between serum HbAIC level and Cholesterolemia, Triglyceridemia. Therefore, monitoring fasting glycemia frequently and controlling lipidemia based on guidelines of "The Asian-Pacific Society of Atherosclerosis and Vascular Diseases" are indispensable in order to prevent cardiovascular complications at non-insulin-dependent diabetics. Serum HbAIC dosage should be done as one of the routine analyses to follow NIDDM

The foundations of nuclear medicine in Vietnam were established from 1970. Until now, after 48 years of development, in Vietnam, we have some basic equipment including 31 SPECT, 4 SPECT/CT machines, 11 PET/CT scanners, five cyclotrons, and one nuclear reactor.Many nuclearmedicine techniques in diagnosis and treatment have been routinely performed at provincial and central level health facilities such as tumor scintigraphy, thyroid scintigraphy, bone scintigraphy, kidney scintigraphy, cardiac scintigraphy, and radio-isotope therapy with I-131 and P-32. Selective internal radiation therapy with Y-90 microsphere and I-125 radioactive seed implantation has been also successfully applied in some big hospitals. However, there are still many difficulties for Vietnam as the lack of new widely used radioisotopes such as Ga-67, Cu-64, Samarium-153, and Lutetium-177 and the lack of nuclear medicine specialists. In the future, we are putting our efforts on the applications of new isotopes in diagnosis and treatment of cancers (theranostic) like Ga-68-DOTATATE, Lutetium-177-DOTATATE, Ga-68-PSMA, and Lutetium-177-PSMA, equipping modern nuclear medicine diagnostic tools, strengthening the human resources training in nuclear medicine. At the same time, we are trying our best to strengthen the cooperation with international nuclear medicine societies in over the world.
