There are some new progresses including patient care, active change of attitude for patients, enhanced hospital regulation, strengthened medical equipment, elimination and eradication of serious and/or social diseases. The hospital network have had some limitations including complications in the treatment, attitude for patients, hospital management, overload of higher level hospitals, sewage disposal and income of health staffs. From which the study introduced 10 major solutions including organization, medical equipment, health economic management, drug supply and delivery, profession guidance, patient care and health staff's life.

Recently, the health sector of Viet Nam has gathered important achievements. Especially, several scientific-technological achievements has been developed and applied successfully in health, take the medical science of Viet Nam to keep pace with that of other regional countries. These involve endoscopy, color ultrasonography, three-dimensional ultrasonography, coronary angiography and stent, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, in vitro fertility (IVF), bone marrow and kidney transplantation. It is showed that information technology has motivated the development of different sciences, especially the medical science.

The healthy, happy and useful living is living objective of elderly should be considered by communist party, state and social organizations. The activities of the health protection and care should be strengthened including communication of methods for self healthcare, rational nutrition, healthy style and socialization of the health care. The network of consultation and treament for elderly should be invested properly, especially functional rehabitation and QI-training and vitality maintenance.

Bioassay-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract of Artemisia iwayomogi Kitamura led to the isolation of 12 known compounds (1‒12). Notably, this study marks the first report of 3-epimeridinol (1) being isolated and structurally characterized from a natural source. Additionally, compounds 3, 4, and 7 were isolated from the Asteraceae family for the first time. The structural elucidation of the isolated compound was achieved through analysis of 1D, 2D NMR, and MS data. Upon evaluation of their inhibitory effects against lipopolysaccharideinduced nitric oxide production, compound 12 demonstrated significant inhibitory activity with greater potency than the reference compound quercetin. These results established A. iwayomogi as a promising source of antiinflammatory agents.

Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased the workload of healthcare workers (HCWs), impacting their health. This study aimed to assess sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and identify factors associated with poor sleep among HCWs in Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1000 frontline HCWs were recruited from various healthcare facilities in Vietnam between October 2021 and November 2021. Data were collected using a 3-part self-administered questionnaire, which covered demographics, sleep quality, and factors related to poor sleep. Poor sleep quality was defined as a total PSQI score of 5 or higher. Results: Participants’ mean age was 33.20±6.81 years (range, 20.0-61.0), and 63.0% were women. The median work experience was 8.54±6.30 years. Approximately 6.3% had chronic comorbidities, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. About 59.5% were directly responsible for patient care and treatment, while 7.1% worked in tracing and sampling. A total of 73.8% reported poor sleep quality. Multivariate logistic regression revealed significant associations between poor sleep quality and the presence of chronic comorbidities (odds ratio [OR], 2.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17 to 5.24), being a frontline HCW directly involved in patient care and treatment (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.16 to 2.16), increased working hours (OR, 1.84; 95% CI,1.37 to 2.48), and a higher frequency of encountering critically ill and dying patients (OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.95). Conclusions The high prevalence of poor sleep among HCWs in Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic was similar to that in other countries. Working conditions should be adjusted to improve sleep quality among this population.
