Background:
In our country the thyroid diseases usually diagnosed using only laboratory indicators of thyroid hormons such as T3, T4, TSH and medical symptom. It means there are considerably late diagnosing of thyroid failure. In recently hypothyroidism and hypothyroidism are being diagnosed by specific thyroid antibodies which are instead during thyroid disorders in the worldwide. Although this diagnostic method is used in some laboratory in our country but their diagnostic significance have not yet been determined. It is important to lunce diagnostic methods for thyroid antibodies specially essential for endocrine doctors.
Objective:
To determine the diagnostic significance of thyroglobulin antibody and thyroid peroxidase antibodies in relation with thyroid disease.
Research materials and methods:
In this research of thyroid peroxidase antybody and thyroglobulin antibody, we use 20-64 age 23 patients who have hypothyrodism diagnostics, 36 patients how have hyperhotyrodism diagnostics, 30 patients who are relatively healthy and their disease was denied on symptom and laboratory test, total 89 people.
Results:
There were 57 female and 32 male from total 89 people investigated for this study. The traditional determination of thyroid hormones for diagnosis of thyroid diseases still have high diagnostic significance. The newly launched and used in our study anti-TPO and anti-Tg have very high significance for thyroid diagnosis. We found that anti-TPO antibody has primary information indicator and anti-Tg antibody is secondary information indicator for the diagnosis of thyroid disorder.
Conclusion:
1.Among 59 patients with thyroid diseases 89.8% (n=53) of them determined increased anti-TPO concentration and 61% (n=36) of them increased anti-Tg concentration. It shows increase of these antibodies have high diagnostic significance for thyroid diseases.
2.For hyperthytiodism the anti-TPO has strong supportive information indicator (карра=0,64) and anti-Tg has primary information indicator (карра=0,84).
3.For hypothytiodism the anti-TPO has primary information indicator (карра=0,78) and anti-Tg has weak supportive information indicatot (карра=0,24).

Abstract:
The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme is widely distributed in tissue, particularly heart, liver muscle, and kidney. The LDH in serum can be separated into five different isoenzymes based on their electrophoretic mobility. Each isoenzyme is a tetramer composed of two different subunits. These two subunits have been designated heart and muscle, based on their polypeptide chains. There are two homotetramers, LDH-1 and LDH-5, and three hybrid isoenzymes.
Elevated serum levels of LDH have been observed in a variety of disease states. The highest levels are seen in patients with megaloblastic anemia, disseminated carcinoma, and shock. Moderate increases occur in muscular disorders, nephrotic syndrome, and cirrhosis. Mild increases in LDH activity have been reported in cases of myocardial or pulmonary infarction, leukemia, hemolytic anemia, and hepatitis.
This study aims to compare a LDH activity in comparatively healthy Mongolian population using highly sensitivity modern technology and evaluate their contents with age, sex, and work adults differences, For this purpose there were chosen 3742 healthy adults (1597 males and 2145 females). The enzyme activity were investigated in Mobio laboratory using fully automated analyzer COBAS Integra-400. Study results were assessed using Microsoft Excel SPSS-10 standard program and evaluation.
The study results show that mathematical mean of LDH activity of healthy Mongolian population is 322.6 u/l, quadratic mean of deviation is 44.9 u/l, and significant distribution is 187.2-442.6 u/l with p=0,99. The mathematical mean of LDH activity of healthy Mongolian man 187-444 u/l, but for women it is 187-438 u/l, with haven’t differences. The level LDH activity of healthy Mongolian population does not depend from age. The level LDH activity of healthy Mongolian population have differences from work adults.
Conclusion:
1.From the findings indicated LDH activity by 187.2-442.6 u/l.
2.Study findings shown LDH activity level not influenced for age and sex.
3.There fore we defined LDG activity level influenced physical and mental overload.

Background:Kidney transplantation has being performed in Mongolia since 2006. However there is currently no published data available on long-term graft and patient survival.Objective:Our aim was to assess the long-term graft and patient survival rate correlation with HLA-A-B-DR matching. Material and Methods:We retrospectively analyzed data from 70 adult kidney transplants performed at our hospital from August 2006 through January 2014. The data was retrospectively collected from patient fles, including characteristics of the recipient and donor, post transplant features and HLA-A-B-DR DNA based typing results. The KaplanMeier method was used to analyze graft and patient survival.Results:The mean patient follow-up period after kidney transplantation was 39,6±25.9 months, and the mean kidney graft follow-up period was 36.6±23.7 months for 70 cases. Overall graft and patient survivals were 52 (74.3%) and 60 (85.7%) respectively in 70 cases. Five-year graft and patient survivals were 23 (67.6%) and 29 (85.3%) respectively in 34 cases. The group with four to six mismatched were found to have a signifcantly lower 3 and 5-year graft and patient survival (71%; 35%); (80%; 40%) compared to 0 to 1 mismatched group (100%) (p=.030; p=.015). Furthermore we analyzed the association of HLA matching, immunosuppressive therapy and long-term graft survival. We selected CNI mono-therapy group for long-term survival analysis and observed a similar pattern. In mono-therapy group, the group with four to six mismatched were found to have a significantly lower 3 and 5-year graft and patient survival (75%; 30%); (65%; 30%) compared to 0 to 1 mismatched group (100%) (p=.037; p=.001).Conclusion:The results showed that graft and patient survival rates were lower compared with results from established centers. Statistically highly signifcant effect of HLA matching on kidney graft and patient survival rates was found in our analysis. Five years after transplantation the graft survival rate of frst adult kidney transplant with 4-6MM was 65-70% lower than that of grafts with 0-1MM. Longitudinal cohort study needed in the future to exhibit an improved transplantation outcome.

IntroductionAlthough systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a relatively common autoimmune disorder, thebroad range of associated clinical symptoms means that its diagnosis can be diffi cult. Anti-ds-DNAautoantibodies are also considered to play a pathogenic role in inducing renal symptoms in SLE, anda strong correlation has been seen in lupus nephritis (LN) between disease activity and anti-ds-DNAautoantibody levels.GoalThe aim of the study was to compare the prevalence and levels of autoantibodies in the serum ofpatients with Systemic lupus erythematosus.Materials and MethodsThis patient-based descriptive study involved 39 patients with LN and 74 controls with primaryglomerulonephritis (GN). Face to face interview was used to obtain necessary information followed bythe physical examination and autoantibodies (anti-ds-DNA, anti-SS-A/Ro, anti-SS-B/La, c/p-ANCA, anti-Sm) measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (Germany, ORGENTEC Diagnostic GmbH).ResultsThe prevalence of anti-ds-DNA 48.7%, anti-SS-A/Ro 56.4%, anti-Smith 38.5%, anti-SS-B/La 12.8%were positive in lupus nephritis group (secondary GN), the prevalence of anti-ds-DNA 6.76%, anti-SS-A/Ro 6.76%, anti-Smith 2.7%, anti-SS-B/La 2.7% were positive in primary GN group.Conclusions: SLE associated with several autoantibodies (anti-ds-DNA, anti-SS-A/Ro, anti-Smith,and anti-SS-B/La) and each of which are very useful in distinguishing patients with SLE from otherautoimmune diseases and GN.

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age, with a prevalence of about 5%–10% in the general population. PCOS is characterized by menstrual disturbances due to hirsutism, chronic anovulation or oligoovulation, and acne due to excessive androgen production (hyperandrogenemia). The pathogenesis of PCOS is still unexplained. Following the main criteria of diagnosis (Rotterdam Consensus 2003), Dewailly, Welt and Pehlivanov divided the patients with PCOS into 4 phenotype groups: Oligo + HA + PCO, Oligo + HA, HA + PCO, Oligo + PCO. ObjectiveThis aim of the study was to compare gonadotropin levels in serum of reproduction age for comparative healthy women and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).MethodsA cross-sectional study was performed comprising 425 comparative healthy women of reproductive age group 18-35 (<20 n=76, 21-25 n=131, 26-30 n=92, 31-35 n=126). To collect blood sample 4 times of healthy, normal menstrual cycle and body mass index (BMI) of women. To determine FSH, LH hormone in serum by ELISA (Eucardio lab kit used). To evaluate FSH, LH, LH/FSH normal menstrual phase (early follicular phase,late follicular phase, ovulation and mid-luteal phase). PCOS patients divided 2 type (oligo+ha, ha+pco).ResultsThe mean age was group A 26.33±5.28, group B 24.9±4.93, and group C 29.75±4.12, BMI a; 22.35±2.95, b; 28.88±3.85, c; 28.0±3.19. The mean level was FSH a; 4.64±1.65 mIU/ml, b; 12.07±3.85 mIU/ml, c; 5.35±7.20 mIU/ml, LH a; 6.42±3.3 mIU/ml, b; 39.43±15.89 mIU/ml, c; 10.89±2.53 mIU/ml of PCOS. To correlate FSH, LH, LH/FSH level was women was significantly (p<0.05).Conclusion: The increased level of LH, LH/FSH strongly correlates with the clinical degree of amenorrhea and hyperandrogenism.It seems that LH, LH/FSH could be a crucial diagnostic and predictive factor among women with menstrual disorders or presence of polycystic ovaries.

Background: Glomerulonephritis (GN) remains a common cause of end stage kidney failure worldwide. The auto antibodies are useful in the patients prognosing, diagnose and treatment of GN. The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence and levels of auto antibodies in the sera of patients with GN in relation to the clinical activity of disease and auto antibodiesMethods: From a hospital-based population, 90 patients with GN (mean age 37.9±12.7) were recruited. Autoantibodies (C/P-ANCA, anti-dsDNA, anti-Sm, anti-SS-A/Ro, anti-SS-B/La, anti-Scl-70, anti-GBM) measured by Enzyme Immuno Assay (Germany, ORGENTEC Diagnostika GmbH). Renal function was evaluated by the eGFR using the Cockcroft-Gault formula.Results: Patients with GN was significantly younger and primary GN was more common in the male, but frequency of LN was 4 times higher among female. The prevalence of cANCA 2.9%, Sm 4.2%, dsDNA 5.7%, SSA 7.1%, SSB 1.4% were positive in primary GN group, the prevalence of Sm 16.7%, dsDNA 8.3%, SSA 25%, SSB 16.7% were positive in secondary GN group. A higher frequency of anti Sm 25%, anti-dsDNA 25%, anti-SS-A/Ro 75%, anti-SS-B/La 25% was observed in the lupus nephritis group. Conclusion: Lupus nephritis associated with several auto antibodies (anti Sm, anti-dsDNA, anti-SS-A/ Ro, anti-SS-B/La) and each of which are very useful in distinguishing patients with lupus nephritis from other secondary GN.

Complete seizure control is the single most important determinant of good quality of life for patients with epilepsy and the chronic nature of the disorder requires that antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) be administered for many years, often for a lifetime. Therefore, long-term experience is of particular importance in evaluating the efficacy and safety of an AED. Valproic acid increases γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis and release and potentiates GABAergic transmission in specific brain regions and it also has also been found to reduce the release of the excitatory amino acid β-hydroxybutyric acid and to attenuate neuronal excitation mediated by activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors. In addition to these effects, valproic acid exerts direct actions on excitable membranes, including blockade of voltage-dependent sodium channels. Valproate is generally regarded as a first-choice agent for most forms of idiopathic and symptomatic generalised epilepsies. Many of these syndromes are associated with multiple seizure types, including tonic-clonic, myoclonic and absence seizures, and prescription of a broad-spectrum drug such as valproate has clear advantages in this situation. The elimination half-life is in the order of 9 to 18 hours, but shorter values (5 to 12 hours) are observed in patients comedicated with enzymeinducing agents such as phenytoin, carbamazepine and barbiturates. The most commonly reported adverse effects of valproate include gastrointestinal disturbances, tremor and bodyweight gain. Other notable adverse effects include encephalopathy symptoms (at times associated with hyperammonaemia), platelet disorders, pancreatitis, liver toxicity and teratogenicity. According to the some study results, endocrine manifestations of reproductive system disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome, may be more common in women treated with valproate than in those treated with other AEDs.
