Introduction:According to studies range by the World Health Organization in 2010, 278 million people are deaf or hearing impairment, out of which 24% use an hearing aid and one out of every 10 people has been treated with surgical method and 9 people’s hearing loss has been restored using acoustic treatment method.Purpose:Our purpose is to define noisy vowels of Mongolian word, which will be used for configuration of hearing aid, thereby improve hearing ability.The objectives1. Analyze spectrogram for noisy sound of Mongolian word and define frequency and level of noisy words.2. Define average difference of listening level of the noisy sounds of Mongolian language using “Listening field of Mongolian word”Materials and method:We did the spectrogram for noisy sounds of the Mongolian word using voices of 62 people including male and female children as well as adults. Also, we analyzed frequency energy of all vowels noted in the 60-65 dB computer, via the “PRAAT” software, which defines analysis of speech in phonetics and studied listening level of the strong vowels using listening sphere of word.Result:During our studies, we selected the vowels [a], [e], [u], [o] [a], [ʊ], [ɔ], [i] and defined spectrogram and energy concentration (formant) of each vowel to define the vowels with the highest energy, and further found out that distance difference of the spectrogram of each vowel and frequency between vowels as 300-780 Hz. On the other hand, difference between spectrogram of each strong sound such as [sh], [s], [v], [z], [dj], [kh] has been defines as 340-2800 dB.When we observed the words with strong sound in the listening field of Mongolian words, which were 3- 5 dB lower than the clearer words.Conclusion:1. According to spectrogram, noisy sound [sh], [s], [z], [dj] has frequency of 3300Hz-3500Hz, which is noisier and resulted in poor acoustic listening ability. Further, we found out that Distant difference of vowels of Mongolian language [a], [e], [o] and consonants [m], [n] is far, accordingly, acoustic listening ability has been good, on the other hand, distant difference of vowels of Mongolian word [ʊ], [ɔ], [u] is near or close, accordingly, acoustic listening ability has been not well.2. Level of distinquishment of the noisy sounds of Mongolian word has been lower by 3.6+ 0.8Db to 5.2+1.2Db at levels of clear sound to feedback.

Innovation 2021;14(1-Ophthalmology):14-17
Background:
Retinal pathologic features are associated with inflammatory processes and
endothelial dysfunction, leading to circulatory abnormalities and reduced vascular reactivity.
Both retinopathy and nephropathy involve thickening of basement membrane and muscular
layers and increased leakage. These pathologic and hemodynamic abnormalities may occur
throughout the body and their effects on the retinal vasculature may be useful indicators of
cumulative microvascular damage from hypertension, inflammation, diabetes mellitus, and other
processes. Type 2 MPGN is an uncommon renal condition associated with electron dense deposits
in the lamina densa of the glomerular basement membrane with C3 found in the capillary loops
and mesangium. The deposits in the basement membrane can lead to a breakdown of the
blood-retinal barrier by interfering with the RPE layer, and type 2 MPGN has been described in
association with central serous retinopathy.
Purpose:
To assess the retinal findings in end stage of Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetic
renal failure
Methods:
Data of diabetic renal failure (n=20, mean age 56.8±11.6), and end stage of CKD(n=83,
mean age 48.2± 11.6) were cross-sectional analyzed. Nonmydriatic fundus photographs of the
disc and macula in both eyes were obtained in all the subjects. The photographs were assessed
by ophthalmologist using the standard protocols. The following parameters were recorded:
BCVA, IOP, BP GFR, serum Creatinine, ophthalmic and fundus examination.
Results:
Greater severity of retinopathy was associated with DM. The presence of vascular
abnormalities usually associated with Diabetes Mellitus ( DM) and was not associated with lower
estimated glomerular filtration rate. All of patients with DM (n=20, 100%) ,they have Diabetic
retinopathy. We found sight direct relationship between retinal posterior pole deposit with CKD
patients. Some of patients who have end stage of CKD, (n=18, 11%) they have retinal deposit on
their posterior pole.
Conclusion
Our findings show ,In participants with end stage of CKD, there was no significant
severe retinopathy. In summary, our study demonstrates that DM, is one of the leading cause of
irreversible vision loss. Every patients with DM need the ophthalmic follow up examination in every
six months.

There are a lot of influencing factors of facial nerve palsy; experts believe that is most likely caused by a Virus (54%) and Bacterial infections. Noninfectious causes of facial nerve palsy induce tumors (28%) and less commonly influences head trauma (18%). The retrospective analysis of WHO, in 2012. There are some cases of postoperative complication in middle ear surgery is facial nerve palsy and the total recovery outcome of function was not good. From 2013 to 2016 in EMJJ hospital, Mongolia, we enrolled 16 cases with facial nerve damaged in intratympanic canal but we could not recruit some patients with facial palsy over 6 months. Each subject was tested with pure tone test, ABR, Tympanometry. These were performed for the detection of hearing loss after Temporal bone injury. Then we also investigated location of facial nerve damages of patients by MRI and CT before reconstructive surgery. After that surgery, all patients were given corticosteroid treatment (20mg/day) and physical therapy performed such as acupuncture for a week. Study results revealed that 6 cases after 18 days, 2 cases after 30 days, 1 patient after 45 days of reconstructive surgery regained good symmetry. Therefore, we considered that, postoperative treatments like physical therapy with B12, steroid had good benefits for operation result and to shorten the recovery time. There was a patient who had damaged facial nerve in the tympanic segment during Mastoidectomy. In that case, we performed cable nerve grafting using the r.auricularismagnium but we could not recover facial nerve function. Traumatic facial nerve paralysis is the second most common type. We discussed that performing reconstruction surgery within first 3 months after intratemporal facial nerve injury is extremely desirable and more effective. In our opinion, nerve recovery might be not successfully cause of injured myelin sheet of facial nerve during middle ear surgery.

Introduction:
Major outbreaks of infectious diseases caused by enteroviruses (EV) have been reported in recent
years. As of 2017, in Mongolia, hand, foot and mouth disease, or HFMD, accounts for 13.7% of all infectious diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the circulation of EV among healthy children, and clinical characteristics of infection.
Materials and Methods :
The analysis of EV circulation was conducted on Polio Laboratory data of 1172 specimens, collected in
2013-2018, from 9 districts of UB and 21 provinces of Mongolia. Also specimens of 239 patients, who
underwent outpatient and inpatient treatment at the NCCD in 2014-2018, were randomly selected and
stool samples were collected. Clinical symptoms of patients were analyzed and virus isolation analysis
was performed in order to confirm the diagnosis.
Results:
Children from 1 month of age to 5 years have participated in the study and the average age was 2 years and 5 months. The enterovirus rate among healthy children was 20.1%. Virus circulation rate was highest in 2013 (37.2%), lowest in 2014 (11.8%). The peak of circulation is observed in May and October, while the minimum rate is in July.
Out of selected patients 52.7% (n=126) were diagnosed with HFMD, rash infection occurred in 28.5%
(n=68), acute flaccid paralysis-18.8% (n=45). EV was detected in 56.4% (n=135) of the collected stool
samples.
Children from 1 month of age to 5 years have participated in the study and the average age was 2 years and 5 months (95% CI:2.5 ±0.1). 49% (n=578) of participants were female, 50.7% (n=594) were male. The enterovirus rate among healthy children were 20.1% (n=236; 95% CI: 20.1 ± 0.55). Virus circulation rate was highest in 2013 (37.2%), lowest in 2014 (11.8%). The peak of circulation is observed in May and October, while the minimum rate is in July. Although the enterovirus isolation rate was relatively high among children under 3, there was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05), as well as there was no difference in gender (p>0.05). As for the EV circulation by region, the highest prevalence rate is found in Central region (27.5%), while the lowest is in the Eastern region (12.7%) with no statistical significance by regions (p>0.05).
Conclusions
Among children, HFMD is a common disease, that caused by EV. Enterovirus infection can often cause
fever, flu like symptoms as well as spotted, maculopapular rash. The EV isolation rate of 20.1% indicates
that the incidence of enterovirus is characterized by symptoms of influenza-like illness or is asymptomatic.

<b>Introductionb> Gastric ulcer is one of the most common disorders considering the gastrointestinal tract, it affects 5% of the population around the world, so its prevention and management are considered very important challenges. Researchers have revealed several causes
of gastric ulcer; these include an imbalance between aggressive and intrinsic defensive
factors. Gastric ulcer is a very common gastrointestinal disease that may lead to
dangerous complications and even death.
The aggressive factors include non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs(NSAID),alcohol,
psychological stress and Helicobacter pylori infection, cytoprotective intrinsic factors
include mucosal blood flow, bicarbonate, mucus, cell renewal, growth factors, NO
and prostaglandins, NSAID-induced gastric damage is known to be the most common
and dangerous side-effect of these drugs and accounts for 25% of gastric ulcer cases.
Indomethacin (INDO) is considered to be the most common NSAID known to induce experimental gastric ulcer and has been documented to have a higher potential to cause gastric injury than other commonly used NSAIDs.
Most of the drugs which are used for wound healing are imported in Mongolia. It is required to develop drug formulation and increase local productions used for the treatment of wound healing. For the
purpose of solving the above problems, we aimed to prepare new drug formulation from Cacalia hastata L. for the treatment.
of wound healing. Cacalia hastata L. is
a medicinal plant, member of the family
Asteraceae. Cacalia hastata L. is widely
used for the Mongolian traditional medicine
to
treat wound healing, gastric ulcer,
poisoning fever, liver fever, bile fever, oral
cavity, and gynecological diseases

Introduction:
Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, which is used in traditional medicine, has the ability to
remove blood-drying heat. Chiazospermum erectum Bernh. has the ability to relieve typhoid fever and
poison fever. Carthamus tinctorius L. has antiseptic, analgesic and anti-toxic properties. Saussurea amara
L. has bactericidal, anti-infective, and anti-inflammatory properties. Researchers found that the Hepaclin-4
recipe has antioxidant, membrane-strengthening, liver-protective, necrosis-preventing, detoxification, and
peroxidation product accumulation-reducing properties. Therefore, extracting the granular medicine form
from the concentrated extract containing the Hepaclin-4 formulation is the basis of our research work.
Goal:
To obtain the granular medicine form from the concentrated extract containing ingredients of the
Hepaclin-4 recipe.
Materials and Methods:
The research was carried out with the support of the Institute of Pharmaceutical
Research and the University of Pharmaceutical Sciences. The raw materials for the Hepaclin-4 formula were extracted by remaceration with water, 40% ethanol, and 70% ethanol (1:10 ratio). Six types of granules were extracted from the concentrated extract using several excipients by the wet granulation method, and the pouring weight and flowability were determined.
Results:
The quality index of the concentrated extract of the Hepaclin-4 recipe complies with the standards
outlined in the 11th Pharmacopoeia of the National Pharmacopoeia of Mongolia. In qualitative analysis of
total flavonoid, spots were detected at the same level as standard quercetin (Rf=0.88) and rutin (Rf=0.4),
indicating the presence of flavonoids. According to the results of the above research, lactose was found to
be the suitable filler for extracting granules, and starch at 8% was identified as the appropriate binding agent from the concentrated extract of the Hepaclin-4 formula.
Conclusion
It was found suitable to select 8% lactose as a filler and starch as a binding agent from the concentrated extract of the Hepaclin-4 formula and obtain a granule drug form using the wet granulation
method.
