    Abstract: During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh was very interested in promoting the role of the people in protecting security, order. Research shows that Ho Chi Minh thought on promoting the role of the people in protecting security and order is a comprehensive and in-depth system of views on the objectives, content, and methods promote the role of the people in crime prevention and control and violations of the law. Carrying out multiple demonstrations, Ho Chi Minh's thought has theoretical value and practical orientation. Researching, searching, understanding, and clarifying the content of Ho Chi Minh's thought as a basis to apply it to the work of promoting the role of the people in security protection and self-defence in Vietnam is an established issue now. Keywords: Ho Chi Minh Thought; people; Security, Order.

    Manh Hung Nguyen, Andreas KruseInstitute of Gerontology, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, GermanyObjective: To evaluate the effects of Tai chi exercise on balance, sleep quality, and cognitive performance in community-dwelling elderly in Vinh city, Vietnam.Design: A randomized controlled trial.Participants: One hundred two subjects were recruited.Intervention: Subjects were divided randomly into two groups. The Tai chi group was assigned 6 months' Tai chi training. The control group was instructed to maintain their routine daily activities.Outcome measures: The Falls Efficacy Scale (FES), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Trail Making Test (TMT) were used as primary outcome measures.Results: Participants in the Tai chi group reported significant improvement in TMT (part A) (F [1, 71] = 78.37, P < 0.001) and in TMT (part B), (F [1, 71] = 175.00, P < 0.001) in comparison with the control group. Tai chi participants also reported better scores in FES (F [1, 71] = 96.90, P < 0.001) and in PSQI (F [1,71] = 43.69, P = 0.001) than the control group.Conclusion: Tai chi is beneficial to improve balance, sleep quality, and cognitive performance of the elderly.Keywords: Tai chi, sleep, balance&nbsp

Diagnosis. Body with 21 leg-bearing segments. Spiracles oval-shaped (Fig. 2D). Antennae with 17 antennomeres including 3 basal smoothly glabrous ones (Fig. 2 A–B). Coxosternal plate with 4+4 teeth (Fig. 2B). Paramedian grooves distinct on both tergites and sternites (Fig. 3 A–B). Coxopleural process long, conical, with 5–7 apical spines (Figs 3 C–D, 5A–B, 6A–B). Prefemur of the ultimate legs with numerous spines arranged in rows (Figs 4 A–B, 5C, 6C).

Distribution. Also known from Laos, Indonesia (Java), Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China (Chao & Chang 2003; Schileyko 2007). Remarks. The species is widely distributed in Vietnam (Fig. 7). Otostigmus aculeatus varies remarkably in shape and chaetotaxic pattern of prefemoral spines of the ultimate leg. Based on the number of spines on coxopleural process and on prefemur of the ultimate leg, it can be divided into three morphological types. The first type has coxopleural process with 4 apical, 3 subapical and 1 dorsal spine, no lateral ones (Fig. 5 A–B). Prefemur of the ultimate leg has 1 corner, 3–4 dorsomedial, 6–8 medial, 8–9 ventromedial, and 5 ventrolateral spines—all spines are arranged in lines, but the dorsomedial and ventrolateral spines are big whereas medial and ventromedial ones are small (Fig. 5C). The second type has coxopleural process with 4 apical, 2–3 subapical, 1 lateral and 1 dorsal spine (Fig. 6 A–B). Prefemur of the ultimate leg has numerous small spines which are not arranged in lines (Fig. 6C). The last type has coxopleural process with 5–6 apical, 1 subapical, 1 dorsal spine, no lateral ones (Fig. 3 C–D). Prefemur of the ultimate leg has 1 corner, 3–4 dorsomedial, 5–8 medial, 7–8 ventromedial and 4–5 ventrolateral spines. These spines are big and arranged in lines (Fig. 4). These types were sometimes found in the same locality, e.g. Me Linh or Thuong Tien. The three types also formed different lineages in the phylogenetic tree (Fig. 40). The differences may suggest that different species may be separated from O. aculeatus.Published as part of Vu, Ha T., Nguyen, Hung D., Le, Son X., Eguchi, Katsuyuki, Nguyen, Anh D. & Tran, Binh T.

    This objective is to study determinants of people’s expectation in Ho Chi Minh city when buying over – the counter drugs to self – treatment. With a directly surveyed dataset of 403 citizens over 18 years old who purchased medicines for self-treatment, and using the quantitative method by exploratory factor analysis (EFA), the study found factors affecting people’s expectations when buying over – the – counter (OTC) drugs to heal themselves are past purchase and use of non-prescription drugs, experience treating common diseases with OTC drugs, seeking information behavior when intending buying non-prescription drugs, the impression of the-over-counter medications and the impression of pharmacist at pharmacy by Ho Chi Minh city (HCMC) citizens

    Understanding the transmission dynamics of a large-scale measles outbreak in Southern Vietnam

    No full text
    OBJECTIVES: Southern Vietnam experienced a large measles outbreak of over 26,000 cases during 2018-2020. We aimed to understand and quantify the measles spread in space-time dependence and the transmissibility during the outbreak. METHODS: Measles surveillance reported cases between January 2018 and June 2020, vaccination coverage, and population data at provinicial level were used. To illustrate the spatio-temporal pattern of disease spread, we employed the endemic-epidemic multivariate time series model decomposing measles risk additively into autoregressive, spatio-temporal, and endemic components. Likelihood-based estimation procedures were performed to determine the time-varying reproductive number Re of measles. RESULTS: Our analysis showed that the incidence of measles was associated with vaccination coverage heterogeneity and spatial interaction between provincial units. The risk of infections was dominated by between-province transmission (36.1% to 78.8%), followed by local endogenous transmission (4.1% to 61.5%). In contrast, the endemic behavior had a relatively small contribution (2.4% to 33.4%) across provinces. In the exponential phase of the epidemic, Re was above the threshold with a maximum value of 2.34 (95% CI: 2.20-2.46). CONCLUSION: Local vaccination coverage and human mobility are important factors contributing to the measles dynamics in Southern Vietnam, and the high risk of inter-provincial transmission is of most concern. Strengthening the disease surveillance is recommended, and further research is essential to understand the relative contribution of population immunity and control measures in measles epidemics.sponsorship: We would like to thank the VLIR-UOS for awarding T.H.T.N. a scholarship to study the Master of Epidemiology at the Univer-sity of Antwerp, Belgium.

    Binding affinity of the L-742,001 inhibitor to the endonuclease domain of A/H1N1/PA influenza virus variants: Molecular simulation approaches

    No full text
    © 2017 Elsevier B.V. The steered molecular dynamics (SMD), molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) and free energy perturbation (FEP) methods were used to determine the binding affinity of the L-742,001 inhibitor to the endonuclease domain of the A/H1N1/PA influenza viruses (including wild type (WT) and three mutations I79L, E119D and F105S for both pH1N1 PA and PR8 PA viruses). Calculated results showed that the L-742,001 inhibitor not only binds to the PR8 PAs (1934 A influenza virus) better than to the pH1N1 PAs (2009 A influenza virus) but also more strongly interacts with the WT endonuclease domain than with three mutant variants for both pH1N1 PA and PR8 PA viruses. The binding affinities obtained by the SMD, MM-PBSA and FEP methods attain high correlation with available experimental data. Here the FEP method appears to provide a more accurate determination of the binding affinity than the SMD and MM-PBSA counterparts.sponsorship: Computing resources were provided by the HPC Lab of HCMC University of Technology.
