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.Some opinions of surgical treatment of pyopericarditis in children
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 2001;256(2):46-48
We study on 3 children pyopericarditis on July 1996 at the Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Department Cho Ray Hospital. All of patients come from Pediatric Hospital. Diagnostic: pyopericarditis with pus from pericardiocentesis. Operation: largely pericardiectomy. Result: all patients are in good condition when they are discharge.

8.The situation of management and utilization of plant protective chemicals and laborer health
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):31-33
1667 laborers were interviewed on using the plant protective chemicals in 16 communes of 8 provinces: §ång Nai, L©m §ång, TiÒn Giang, B×nh D¬ng, B×nh Phíc, Ninh ThuËn, B×nh ThuËn, Kh¸nh Hßa in year 2000. Results: 100% or farm households were using plant protective chemicals. Number and types of plant protective chemicals used are various. The management of plant protective chemicals remained to be not tightly. They are used unsafe and inappropriately, cause effects on the laborer health and toxicity. The incidence of Tb toxicosis is 22.92 per 10,000 people. The incidence of Padan toxicosis is highest.

10.Study on the solid dispersion system of artemisinine
Pharmaceutical Journal 1999;282(10):15-18
Enteric solid dispersions of artemisinine were prepared by spray drying using methacrylic acid copolymer (Eudragit L100) as carrier and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), Tween 20, PEG 6000, colloidal silica (aerosil) as additives. Spherical solid dispersion particles were obtained. Both solubility and dissolution rate of artemisinine studied in the medium pH 7.2 from all solid dispersions were markedly improved compared with that from the original or spray dried drug powder. The drug release rate of tablets that were made from the solid dispersion with drug-carrier ratio of 1:2 was nearly unchanged in medium pH 7.2 and was retarded in medium pH 1.5 in comparison with the solid dispersion powder.
