Suaedamas A-D: Four New Compounds from the Aerial Parts of Suaeda maritima with Inhibition of NO Production Activity.

Four new compounds, suaedamas A-D (1-4), and seven known ones (5-11) were isolated from the aerial parts of Suaeda maritima. Their chemical structures were evaluated by the IR, HR-ESI-MS, 1D-, and 2D-NMR, experimental and calculated ECD spectra. Compounds 1-6 inhibited nitric oxide production in LPS activated RAW 264.

Effectiveness of perindopril/amlodipine fixed-dose combination in the treatment of hypertension: a systematic review.

Uncontrolled blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Fixed-dose combination (FDC) therapy offers a promising approach to addressing this challenge by providing a convenient single-tablet solution that enhances the effectiveness of blood pressure control. In our systematic review, we assess the effectiveness of perindopril/amlodipine FDC in managing blood pressure.

Draft genomes announcement of Vietnamese strains causing bacterial spot on pepper.

the primary causal agent of bacterial spot of pepper (BSP), poses a significant global challenge, resulting in severe defoliation and yield losses for pepper growers. We present the whole genome sequences of eight strains associated with BSP in Vietnam. These genomes contribute to representation of pepper production regions in the global sample of genomes, enabling the development of precise global disease management strategies.

Living Safely With Bats: Lessons in Developing and Sharing a Global One Health Educational Resource.

As part of a public health behavior change and communication strategy related to the identification of a novel ebolavirus in bats in Sierra Leone in 2016, a consortium of experts launched an effort to create a widely accessible resource for community awareness and education on reducing disease risk. The resulting picture book, , includes technical content developed by a consortium of experts in public health, animal health, conservation, bats, and disease ecology from 30 countries. The book has now been adapted, translated, and used in more than 20 countries in Africa and Asia.

A facilitated social innovation: stakeholder groups using Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles for perinatal health across levels of the health system in Cao Bang province, Vietnam.

Background: Universal coverage of evidence-based interventions for perinatal health, often part of evidence-based guidelines, could prevent most perinatal deaths, particularly if entire communities were engaged in the implementation. Social innovations may provide creative solutions to the implementation of evidence-based guidelines, but successful use of social innovations relies on the engagement of communities and health system actors. This proof-of-concept study aimed to assess whether an earlier successful social innovation for improved neonatal survival that employed regular facilitated Plan-Do-Study-Act meetings on the commune level was feasible and acceptable when implemented on multiple levels of the health system (52 health units) and resulted in actions with plausibly favourable effects on perinatal health and survival in Cao Bang province, northern Vietnam.

Perceived Barriers and Intentions to Receive COVID-19 Vaccines: Psychological Distress as a Moderator.

A high vaccination uptake degree is crucial to achieve herd immunity to COVID-19 and restrict the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about the antecedents that reduce or contribute to shaping the intention to receive COVID-19 vaccines, as well as how psychological distress-a mental health problem-can reinforce or dampen the translation from antecedents into intention to receive COVID-19 vaccines. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of perceived clinical and access barriers, self-efficacy, and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines on the intention to receive COVID-19 vaccines.

A Two-Flap Combination for Auricular Elevation in Microtia Reconstruction.

Background: The aims of this study were to describe and evaluate the effectiveness of combined flaps, a modification of the Nagata technique, for providing a reasonable projection for reconstructed auricles.

Methods: The authors modified the Nagata method for covering the cartilage block by introducing a new combined flap technique, including the temporoparietal skin flap and retroauricular flap. The authors compared the shape, size, and position of the reconstructed ear to the opposite ear, and we evaluated postoperative complications and patient satisfaction levels.

WildHealthNet: Supporting the development of sustainable wildlife health surveillance networks in Southeast Asia.

Wildlife and wildlife interfaces with people and livestock are essential surveillance targets to monitor emergent or endemic pathogens or new threats affecting wildlife, livestock, and human health. However, limitations of previous investments in scope and duration have resulted in a neglect of wildlife health surveillance (WHS) systems at national and global scales, particularly in lower and middle income countries (LMICs). Building on decades of wildlife health activities in LMICs, we demonstrate the implementation of a locally-driven multi-pronged One Health approach to establishing WHS in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Viet Nam under the WildHealthNet initiative.

Allopurinol-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis: Signal detection and preventability from Vietnam National pharmacovigilance database.

What Is Known And Objective: Allopurinol, the first-line medication for hyperuricemia is well-known for its association with severe cutaneous adverse reactions, especially Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). In the current study, we analysed the Vietnamese spontaneous reporting database to identify signals and preventability of allopurinol-induced SJS/TEN in Vietnam from 2010 to 2019.

Methods: Signal generation was assessed using the case/non-case method.

Comprehensive design method of a soft multifocal contact lens with NURBS.

This study presents a comprehensive method for designing a multifocal contact lens (MCL) with Snell's law and non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) curves. Instead of using thin lens approximation, general mathematical formulas have been developed to achieve the accurate coordinates of points on the anterior lens surface profile of the MCL to meet various given optical power distributions. Then the NURBS curve is adjusted to fit these data points to obtain the smooth front lens surface profile.

Ethyl acetate extract of Elephantopus mollis Kunth induces apoptosis in human gastric cancer cells.

Background: Gastric cancer is one of the most leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Therefore, treatment studies have been being conducted, one of which is screening of novel agents from medicinal herbs. Elephantopus mollis Kunth (EM) belonging to Asteraceae family is a perennial herb with several therapeutic properties including anticancer activity.

Use of Essential Oils for the Control of Anthracnose Disease Caused by on Post-Harvest Mangoes of Cat Hoa Loc Variety.

Anthracnose disease caused by spp. makes heavy losses for post-harvest mangoes of Cat Hoa Loc variety during storage, packaging, and transportation. The synthetic fungicides are commonly used to control the disease, but they are not safe for consumers' health and environment.

Safety and immunogenicity of two formulations of rotavirus vaccine in Vietnamese infants.

Background And Aims: ROTAVIN-M1® (licensed, frozen vaccine) and ROTAVIN (second-generation, liquid candidate vaccine) are two rotavirus vaccine formulations developed from a live attenuated G1P8 (KH0118) strain by Center for Research and Production of Vaccines and Biologicals (POLYVAC), Vietnam. This study compared the safety and immunogenicity of these two formulations.

Methods: A Phase 3, randomized, partially double-blinded, active-controlled study was conducted in healthy infants aged 60-91 days in Vietnam.
