BACKGROUND. Hypertension is an increasingly important medical and public-health issue. Recent years complementary and alternative medicine therapies are getting popular and frequently than medical treatment used by patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Aiming to analyze the efficacy of bloodletting to treat impure blood and hypertension and to implement to the clinical practice.
METHODS. 14 day before and after loodletting treatment, triglycerides, cholesterol, high- density lipoprotein were analyzed and compared to body type for 30 patients (30- 60 years old ) who have 1st stage arterial hypertension. The LDL was calculated with Fridvalid formula. The participants took traditional prescription ( formula of three seeds) 2gr twice per day for 5 days after bloodletting vena. ( jinshug)
RESULTS. The study showed that triglycerides are decreased by 0,4mml/l (P value 0.0047), cholesterol was decreased by 1,54 mml/l (P value 0.00001), LDL was decreased by 1,68 mml/ l (P value 0.00001), and HDL was increased by 0,22 mml/ l (P value 0.0001) after bloodletting treatment. After treatment we observed decreasing hypertension when measured the systolic and diastolic blood pressure for three months. LDL and cholesterol increasing in the blood is risk for cardiovascular disease. But in this study LDL and cholesterol were decreasing after bloodletting treatment which means it is possible to prevent from cardiovascular disease. As well after treatment HDL was increased in the blood that showed prevention from arteriosclerosis.
СONCLUSION. Most of patients were shar and badgan type. The badgan type with patients had obesity and high cholesterol compared to other body types.
After treatment cholestrol was decreased in all patients, LDL was decreased and HDL was significantly increased in the badgan type patients with hypertension.
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were decreased and stable and kept for long time after bloodletting treatment.

Background:
The corneal endothelium, the innermost layer of the cornea, is composed of hexagonal cells that maintain
corneal transparency and provide essential nutrients to the stroma. These cells play a critical role in preserving visual acu
ity. Previous studies have demonstrated that endothelial cells do not regenerate, and their density progressively declines
with age, accompanied by morphological alterations. Given the individual variability in corneal thickness and endothelial
morphology, establishing normative reference values is crucial for diagnosing corneal diseases, planning corneal trans
plantation, and optimizing surgical strategies for cataract surgery. However, there is a scarcity of data regarding central
corneal thickness, endothelial cell density, and cell morphology among Mongolian adults. This knowledge gap provided
the rationale for the present study.
Aim:
To study the central corneal thickness and endothelial cell morphology in Mongolian adults.
Materials and Methods:
This study was conducted using an analytical cross-sectional design. A total of 198 individuals
aged 20 to 79 years were randomly selected, and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations were performed. Corneal pa
rameters—including central corneal thickness, endothelial cell density, mean cell area, coefficient of variation of cell size,
and the percentage of hexagonal cells—were quantitatively assessed using a non-contact specular microscope. Ethical
approval was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee of the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences
(Approval No. 2024/3-06), and written informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to enrollment.
Results:
The mean age of the study participants was 48.4±14.5 years, with 48.9% (n=97) being male and 51.1% (n=101)
female. In the central cornea, the mean endothelial cell density (ECD) was 2857.14±291.49 cells/mm², the mean central
corneal thickness (CCT) was 526.25±33.67 µm, the mean cell area was 335.11±37.82 µm², the percentage of hexagonal
cells was 64.81±3.94%, and the coefficient of variation (CV) in cell size was 0.31±0.04. With increasing age, both ECD
and the percentage of hexagonal cells showed a statistically significant decline, while the mean cell area and CV demon
strated a significant inverse correlation (P=0.0001). No statistically significant differences were observed in corneal thick
ness or endothelial morphometric parameters between the right and left eyes or between sexes. Among the Mongolian
adults, the endothelial cell density decreases by approximately 0.3% annually (r=0.2107, p<0.0001).
Conclusion
1. The mean central corneal thickness (CCT) in adult Mongolian individuals was 526.25±33.67 μm, which is compa
rable to reported averages from other populations. However, the mean endothelial cell density (ECD) was relatively
higher, measured at 2857.14±291.49 cells/mm².
2. With advancing age, a progressive decline in central endothelial cell density and the proportion of hexagonal cells
was observed, whereas the coefficient of variation (CV) in cell size and the mean cell area showed a corresponding
increase

Introduction:
Sarcopenia is a prevalent condition characterized by decrease in muscle strength and loss of body
function which result from the decrease of muscle mass in older age. In 2014, the Asian Working Group
for Sarcopenia developed the diagnosis criterion for sarcopenia. The measurements were changed to
accommodate for the physical characteristics of asians. The loss of muscle mass increases after age 40
and decreases by 8 percent every 10 years. After age 70 this number is increased to 15 percent every
10 years.
Goal:
Assess the prevalence of sarcopenia among men by comparing body height and mass
Materials and Methods:
The study included 196 older men aged 40 and above chosen by random sampling from the geriatric and
rehabilitation cabinets of the Mongolian National Gerontology Center.
Sarcopenia diagnosis was made based on the criteria from the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia
using methods by Janssen I and others to compare body mass and height.
Results:
Comparing body muscle mass and height 11.7 percent of participant aged 40-86 had sarcopenia. When
comparing body muscle mass and weigth 33.2 percent had sarcopenia.
Conclusion
Determining sarcopenia among Mongolian men by comparing muscle mass and body mass resulted in
33.2 percent sarcopenia. When compared with height, 11.7 percent had sarcopenia.

Background:
The development of a country is often measured by the state of human development, especially maternal
and child health indicators. In Mongolia, public health policies targeting the prevention of non-communicable diseases
related to lifestyle and physical development among adolescents are critically needed. However, there is a lack of regional
studies on adolescent health, particularly in rural areas.
Aim:
To study certain physical development indicators among adolescents in Bulgan province.
Materials and Methods:
This analytical study was conducted in 2022 involving 781 twelve-year-old children. Data were
collected from parents and processed using Stata 17.0. Percentages were calculated for qualitative data, and Chi-square
and Fisher’s exact tests were used for statistical analysis. Where statistically significant, multinomial logistic regression
analysis was applied to identify risk factors affecting physical development.
Results:
52.88% of the participants were boys,92.45% lived in traditional or private hous12.04% of the children showed
growth retardation. 49.68% were overweight.70.94% were classified as overweight or obese based on their Body Mass
Index (BMI).Weak muscle strength (1.66%), flexibility (2.05%), endurance (1.66%), and agility (1.92%) were observed.
Boys were more likely to experience height retardation but had stronger muscle strength.Girls showed a higher prevalence
of being overweight.Children living in the provincial center had higher height and BMI, while those in soum centers
demonstrated statistically significant strength in muscle power, flexibility, and endurance.
Conclusion
1. Among the study participants, 70.94% of children were overweight or obese.
2. 1.66% of the study participants had weak muscle strength, 2.05% had weak flexibility, 1.66% had weak endurance,
and 1.92% had weak speed and agility.
3. The use of mobile phones, parental involvement, inactivity, lack of sports, and lack of horse riding have negative
effects on physical development.
