The strain was first designated as Hafnia alvei, but later found to be a possible new species in the genus Escherichia. Two different polysaccharides were detected, a major and a minor one. The structure of the major polysaccharide is gi- ven below, while the structure of the minor one was not investigated. The structure of the repeating unit was estab- lished as →6)-β- D -Galf-(1→3)-β- D -GalpNAc-(1→3)-β- D -Galp-(1→ α-NeuAc ↑ 6 2 The structure does not resemble any of the previously investigated lipopolysaccharide O-chains from Escherichia coli or H. alvei, but could fit in either group based on types of sugar residues and acidity. Phenotypic microbiological studies cannot definitely assign it to either species of the two genera. Genetic hybridization studies indicate that the Bangladeshi isolates may require a new species designation under the genus Escherichia. Keywords: lipopolysaccharide; Escherichia; Hafnia alvei; diarrhea; neuraminic acid. Hafnia alvei is a Gram negative bacterium and a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae. There are reports of associ- ation of H. alvei with diarrhoea in Canada [1] and Finland [2], but the mechanism of diarrhoea caused by this organism in these locations remains unknown [3]. However, some isolates of a bacterium typed as H. alvei from patients with diarrhoea in Bangladesh produced diarrhoea in rabbits by attaching and effacing (AE) lesions in the intestinal mucosa that are characteristic of the lesions produced by entero- pathogenic Escherichia coli [4]. Like enteropathogenic E. coli,theseH. alvei isolates possess a homologous patho- genicity island in the chromosome locus for enterocyte effacement (LEE), which is responsible for producing attaching and effacing lesions [5]. LEE encodes a type III secretory system [6]. Secretion of the virulence factors leads to effacement of the microvillus structure and reorganiza- tion of the actin cytoskeleton to form a pedestal-like structure, the attaching and effacing lesion [7]. AE lesion formation is critical in mediating diarrhoea production in the host, but its exact role in disease is not known. Recent results from conventional biochemical analyses, testing of susceptibility to cephalothin, lysis by a Hafnia-specific phage, and amplification of the outer membrane protein gene phoE with species-specific primers support the identi- fication of these isolates as VNƯ Journal of Science, N atural Sciences an d Technology 23 (2007) 86-90 Two new species of the genus Arisaema Mart (Araceae) described for Flora of Vietnam Nguyen Van Du * I n s titu te o fE c o lo g y a n d B iological R esources, V ietnam ese A c a d e m y o f Science and T echnology 18 Hoang Quoc Viet, Hanoi, Vietnam R eceived 10 A u g u st 2006 A b stract Arisaema omkoiense G u s m a n a n d A ramulosum Andervv h av e been described as nevv reco rd for Flora o f V ietn am A m o n g them , Arisaema omkoiense w a s fo u n d in C hieng M (T hailand) recently by G u sm a n , novv re c o rd c d in C en tre V ietnam (Q u an g T ri a n d K o n tu m prov.)

In fact, this new combination antiretroviral therapy attracts the attention of the scientific community because both drugs have a good safety profile coupled with potent antiviral activity, and their combined use would avert nucleoside- and ritonavir-related toxicities. Case presentation: We describe the case of a 47-year-old, Caucasian woman treated for HIV-1 infection who developed Buffalo Hump during antiretroviral therapy, including raltegravir and unboosted atazanavir. Clinical evaluation and an ultrasonography scan of the cervical region showed a new progressive increase of lipohypertrophy and the results of DEXA confirmed these data. In our patient the worsening of the Buffalo Hump cannot be attributed to hypercortisolism; insulin-resistance, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hyperlactatemia and metabolic syndrome were not present. Moreover, she was not in therapy with antiretroviral drugs that are described as the cause of Buffalo Hump; on the other hand she developed this side effect three months after the switch of the antiretroviral therapy to raltegravir plus unboosted ataza navir. Conclusion: Current data indicate that the etiology of HIV-associated Buffalo Hump remains elusive but is likely multifactorial; a possible contributing cause, but not the main cause, could be exposure to antiretroviral drugs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on development of Buffalo Hump in the course of antiretroviral therapy, including the use of these drugs. On the basis of our data we can formulate the hypothesis of a pharmacological pathogenesis that underlies the development of this case of Buffalo Hump in the absence of other risk factors. Introduction Antiretroviral (ARV) treatment guidelines currently recommend ARV regimens containing a Nucleos(t)ide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (N(t)RTIs) based back- bone with a Non Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhi- bitor (NNRTI) or ritonavir boosted Protease Inhibitor (PI/r). However, significant toxicity has been associated with N(t)RTI(s) and PI/r containing regimens. Recent data presented by Gupta et al. show that the comb ina- tion of raltegravir (RAL) plus unboosted atazanavir (ATV) may be an alternative effective ARV regimen demonstrating good virologic and immunologic response. Furthermore, the combination is well tolerated and has a low incidence of adverse effects [1]. Moreover, side effects reported by Zhu et al. during a study in healthy subjects were generally “mild-to moderate” in intensity.Commonsideeffectsseenwhenbothdrugs were taken were jaundice and headache [2].

Prof. Dr. Hoàng Vn Vân HANOI, 2006 ABSTRACT The study examines how English was taught and learned at a college under Vietnam National University, Hanoi. In this study, observation, informal talk, and survey were used to collect data. Answers to the following research questions were searched: (1) What problems do teachers and students at the College of Technology experience in teaching and learning English? and (2) what are the possible solutions to the problems found at the College of Technology? The findings of the study were discussed; some solutions were proposed to the problems; and a 50-period pilot course was offered to test the feasibility of the proposed solutions. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study is the combination of the talents and contribution of all the members of the research groups in Pre-doctoral Training Center, School of Post-graduate Studies, VNU. I am indebted to them for their indispensable roles in the study. My sincere thanks now go to Assoc. Prof. Doctor Hoang Van Van, my supervisor, for his whole-hearted guidance from the beginning through every step of the way down to the very last minutes of the thesis. Then I would like to thank the administrators, English teachers and students at the College of Technology for participating in the field study part of the thesis, and for making it easy for us to get access to the college's classrooms, facilities and equipment to conduct our investigation. I also wish to express my thanks to the VNU's Project undertaken by Pre- doctoral Training Center, School of Post-graduate studies, VNU for their financial support to this study, without which the field part of the study would not have been possible.
