The article analyzes the current development status, opportunities, and challenges of Vietnam’s non-public higher education system in the context of implementing the Politburo’s Resolution 71-NQ/TW (2025) on breakthroughs in education and training development. The findings show that non-public universities have made significant contributions to expanding learning opportunities, increasing the flexibility of the higher education system, and promoting international integration. However, institutional barriers, financial mechanisms, and social perceptions continue to hinder the equal development of this sector compared to public institutions. Based on policy analysis and empirical data, the study proposes a set of solutions to create a level playing field for non-public universities, including improving the legal framework, expanding institutional autonomy, strengthening public–private partnerships, and ensuring equity in access to resources and quality assurance. The article contributes scientific and practical evidence to support the implementation of Resolution 71-NQ/TW of the 13th Political Bureau toward building an equitable, dynamic, and globally integrated Vietnamese higher education ecosystem.

This article examines gender equality in Vietnam from two fundamental dimensions: (1) the perspectives of the Communist Party, and the State’s laws and policies on gender equality; and (2) the Party’s viewpoints and the State’s efforts to promote traditional cultural values in implementing gender equality. The study clarifies the interrelation among culture, gender, and sustainable development, highlighting the importance of preserving and fostering the nation’s acceptable traditional cultural values while eliminating outdated norms and customs that impede gender equality. Based on these analyses, the paper proposes several practical solutions to effectively leverage cultural values to promote gender equality, thereby contributing to building a fair, progressive, and sustainable society in Vietnam today.

Indirubin is a biologically active alkaloid of Danggui Longhui Wan, a traditional Chinese medicinal formulation used in clinical practice to treat chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML). In addtion to anti-cancer properties, indirubin and its derivatives also exert anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and neuroprotective effects. This review aimed to provide a summary of recently published studies regarding the biological activities of indirubin and its derivatives. As for pharmacological effects, indirubin and its derivatives can mediate the expression of many proteins that play important roles in the pathophysiology of cancer, infection, and inflammation. Based on the collated studies, the findings suggest that indirubin derivatives could be potential candidates for addressing many human diseases, with cancer emerging as the most notorious example.
