Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is currently one of the top lethal cancers with an increasing trend. Deregulation of MYC in HCC is frequently detected and always correlated with poor prognosis. As the zebrafish genome contains two differentially expressed zebrafish myc orthologs, myca and mycb, it remains unclear about the oncogenicity of...
Vietnam’s marine fisheries are in need of knowledge-based management. This necessitates the establishment of
reliable indicators, which in turn entails a good data collecting and processing system. To bridge the gap between
specific requirements for fisheries policy development and the limited resources available, we have conducted a
study on costs...
Economic indicators are needed for future knowledge-based fisheries management in Vietnam. This entails a good data collecting and processing system. This paper contributes to this requirement for the tuna-mackerel gillnet fishery, near-shore and offshore, in Nha Trang, South-Central Vietnam. For 2005 and 2006 fifty vessels were surveyed for technical characteristics,...
Here we report a new transgenic expression system by combination of liver-specific expression,
mifepristone induction and Cre-loxP recombination to conditionally control the expression of oncogenic
kras[superscript]V12. This transgenic system allowed expression of kras[superscript]V12 specifically in the liver by a brief exposure
of mifepristone to induce permanent genomic recombination mediated by...

Because Ras signaling is frequently activated by major hepatocellular carcinoma etiological factors, a transgenic zebrafish constitutively expressing the kras(V12) oncogene in the liver was previously generated by our laboratory. Although this model depicted and uncovered the conservation between zebrafish and human liver tumorigenesis, the low tumor incidence and early mortality...
Aquaculture in Vietnam has a long tradition. So far, this industry has been dominated by fresh water and brackish water aquaculture. Cage culture in marine waters has been developed more recently. With a coastline of 3260 km and an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of more than one million square km,...
There are about 332 seafood processing enterprises in Vietnam by the end of 2003, of which 100 enterprises have EU-CODE and 135 enterprises apply HACCP. Main products are frozen shrimp (47.7%), frozen fish (21.1%), frozen octopus and squid (5.1%); value added products increase gradually and take up over 30% of...
From 1991 to 2003, number of fishing boats increased from 43,940 to 83,122. The average power per boat increased from 18HP/boat to 49.3HP/boat. Fishing productivity seems to be gradually decreased from 0.89ton/HP to 0.35ton/HP. In this period, the yield of marine fisheries has been constantly increased with an annual average...
Khanh Hoa, featured by advantageous conditions from both nature and humans, has long enjoyed great potentials for fisheries development. The most immediate evidence can be cited is that the fisheries industry
made significant contributions to the local economic growth during the recent period of 2001- 2006, and impressive figures in...
Human liver cancer is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide, with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) being the most common type. Aberrant Ras signaling has been implicated in the development and progression of human HCC, but a complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this protein in hepatocarcinogenesis remains elusive. In this...

Many millions of people throughout Vietnam depend in full or part on the country's aquatic resources for food, livelihood and employment. The fisheries and aquaculture sectors are significant contributors to the
economy of Vietnam. With increasing population pressure and the development of more effective (and/or destructive) fishing gears and practices,...
The formulation of demand functions for aquatic products has been prevalently practiced worldwide, but
still represents a rather new phenomenon in the area of applied economics in Vietnam. This paper focuses
on estimates of demand functions for Norwegian salmon products. Log-linear functions are used to construct the model. The major...
This study analyzes the determinants of the choice of remuneration systems and examines their influence on the economic performance of fisheries. The purse seine fisheries in Khanh Hoa province, Vietnam, are used as the study case, with data collected from 162 fishing households in 2005 and 2008. The principal‚ agent...
Economic performance indicators are needed in order to improve fisheries policy in Vietnam. The
research project “Revenues and Costs of Fishing Vessels in the Nha Trang Area” has been established to
meet these needs. A questionnaire about technical characteristics and economic data of vessel and gear
