Introduction.M.Colombo, W.Lange studies showed that 30-40% of people became chronic after suffering fromHepatitis B and C virus, about 50% of chronic cases transformed into primary liver cancer. There arefew studies in our country were conducted on hepatitis among healthcare professionals, particularnursing personnel.Goal.To identify antigens and antibodies of hepatitis B and C virus among nursesMaterials and Method.We carried out cross-sectional study among selected nurses, to determine surface antigen of hepatitisB virus and antibodies to hepatitis C virus. For identification of these antibodies and antigen, andvalidation of results Serodia tests from Fujinebo Company (Japan) and Beringnost (Germany) wereused respectively.Results.There were 598 nurses from the State Central Clinical Hospital, Shastin’s State Hospital, Hospitalof Military of Justice and Internal Affairs, and the National Center of Maternal and Child Health, whoparticipated in the study. From 5 hospitals a 598 nurses surveyed and revealed the hepatitis B virussurface antigen positive 18.9%, hepatitis C virus antibodies in 23.2%, B and C viruses detected by1.2% combined.Conclusion.The study identified that 43.2 percent of nurses surveyed on hepatitis B and C viruses were detected;it shows a high prevalence among the nurses. There is an urgent need to provide knowledge tomedical personnel regarding standards during procedures, concerning hepatitis infections, monitoringand improve technology used during procedures.

BACKGROUND. The 84.4 percent of newly diagnosed patients with diabetes have obesity
in Mongolia. Nowadays, prevalence of obesity has increased steadily in Mongolia.
Diabetic patients with viral hepatitis has high risk of having liver cirrhosis. Therefore,
screening of fatty liver and liver fibrosis in diabetic patients is more important. The main
diagnosing method of fatty liver and liver fibrosis is liver biopsy and histology but so far,
we are able to detect viral infection using viral marker and determine fibrosis stage of
NAFLD in patients who has diabetes mellitus type 2. Using noninvasive method determining
liver fibrosis involve many researches to reveal new biomarkers and technics to
find out liver fibrosis. Japanese researchers has found The Wisteria floribunda agglutinin-
positive human Mac-2-binding protein (WFA+-M2BP) was recently shown to be a
liver fibrosis glycobiomarker with a unique fibrosis-related glycoalteration.This biomarker
helps to determine liver fibrosis stage in fatty liver disease and viral hepatitis. There is
no research to reveal viral infection, fatty liver and liver fibrosis in diabetic patients in
Mongolia, so far. So it is necessary to study revealing viral infection, fatty liver disease
and to determine stages of fibrosis using WFA+-M2BP to screen liver fibrosis in diabetic
patients. OBJECTIVE. To identify viral infection, HCV/HBV in patients with diabetes and
to compare liver function and diabetes control for diabetic patients with liver disease.
METHODS. We collect data from 25thNovember, 2015 to October of 2016. We got permission
of research from the patients by handwriting signature who diagnosed Diabetes
mellitus in National University Hospital. Haemotology, biochemistry test, coagulogramm,
immunology test are evaluated in 415 patients in clinical laboratory of National university
hospital. By the objective, the diabetes patients with viral hepatitis will attend
to second step of research. We used HISCL 5000 apparatus of Sysmex Japan to do
immunology tests. Also we use SPSS 19.0 and EXCEL program. RESULT. There were 294
patients and by WHO classification of ages 20-29 aged patient (n=4), 30-39 aged(n=19),
40-49 aged(n=65), 50-59 aged(n=126), 60-70 aged(n=48), over 70 aged(n=14)or
53.24±9.43. 146 patients are male,148 patients are female.By BMI 29.9±1.14.By blood
test, thrombocytes counted 256.6±11.7;in coagulogramm the prothrombin time was
111.7±31.4; in biochemistry test total bilirubin 16.46±10.6; AP 364.7±192.3;AST 35.7±45.7;
ALT 42.8±45.5; GGT 86.53±123.4;albumin 42.06±23.95;total cholesterol 6.04±2.47;triglyceride
5.72±34.5;HbA1c 8.83±5.92; in immunology testsanti-HCV 29.37±18.87 (n=58); HBsAg
590.134±1013.7 (n=23); M2BP (COI) counted 2.24±2.19. CONCLUSION. There were 58
diabetic patients with C viral infection and 23 diabetic patients with B viral infection.
By WFA+-M2BP glycobiomarker, we found that diabetic patients with viral hepatitis has
more liver fibrosis.

Background: The collagen fibrillar framework of the liver is
presumed not only to mechanically support the tissue, but also to
form a microenvironment for hepatocytes and cells in the Disse’s
space. It has long been considered that the collagen fibers in the
liver provide the endothelial cells of the hepatic sinusoids with a
scaffold, while their excessive accumulation in the hepatic
parenchyma is associated with the chronicity of liver diseases and
the development of cirrhosis.
Purpose: To define detailed organization of the collagen fibrils of the
liver.
Materials and methods: Collagen fibrils were taken from the livers of
5 male and female cadavers who died not from liver diseases at the
ages from 35 to 55. Light microscopy of hematoxylin-eosin stained
liver tissues confirmed that the materials had no significant
pathological changes. The collagen fibrils of the liver were extracted
and observed according to our cell-maceration/SEM method.
Results: The alkali-water maceration of the liver at room
temperature consistently removed all of the cellular elements with
their basal lamina, and left collagen fibrils in their natural locations
and shapes, thus revealing the continuum of the collagen fibrillar
network under the SEM. The diameter of collagen fibrils was around
57 nm. The collagen fibrillar layer of the liver capsule was about 70-
100 µm in thickness. The capsular layer consisted of collagen
fibrillar bundles (0.2-4µm in diameter) of densely packed parallel
collagen fibrils. Deriving from between such bundles were many
collagen fibrils, they wound independently for some distance and
then again fused with the bundles. There were many bundles of
collagen fibrils that connected the capsular collagen layer to the
collagen fibrillar sheaths for housing the hepatic sinusoids. There
were no collagen fibrillar septa delimiting the hepatic lobules,
instead, collagen fibrillar sheaths for the sinusoids were continuum
throughout the liver. Normal human livers contained 12.0 mg of
collagen fibrils/g wet tissue. Both type I and III collagens have been
demonstrated immunehistochemically in normal liver.
