Endometriosis is described as a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by endometrial-like tissue, found outside the uterine cavity which cause chronic pelvic pain, infertility,dysmenorrhea. The prevalence of endometriosis is difficult to determine accurately but in asymptomatic women, the prevalence of endometriosis ranges from 2- 22 %, depending on the population studied , in infertile women 20-50 % and in those with pelvic pain, between 40-50% (Balasch, 1996; Eskenazi, 2001; Meuleman, 2009).Endometriosis is found 7-10% of reproductive agewomen and 20-90% in with chronic pelvic pain, infertility cases. Pathogenesis of endometriosis is not yet fully understood but one potential cause of the disease is retrograde menstruation which results in the deposition of endometrial tissue into the peritoneal cavity. Today a composite theory of retrograde menstruation with implantation of endometrial fragments in conjunction with peritoneal factors to stimulate cell growth is the most widely accepted explanation for peritoneal endometriosis. Susceptibility to endometriosis is thought to depend on the complex interaction of genetic, immunologic, hormonal and environmental factors. To determine prevalence and severity of clinical symptoms, compare meta-analysis to changes the clinical value of serum CA-125 and peritoneal fluid cytology in women with endometriosis of Ulaanbaatar city. We had selected total of 60 woman with endometriosis which were registered from January to December 2014 in gynecologic clinic of First Maternity Hospital. The research group registered in questionnaire with 28 questions. During the inspection laboratory analysis of serum CA-125, ultrasound analysis and peritoneal fluid cytology were done. Assessment of pelvic pain by means of a 10-point linear analog scale / pain score/ which provided by International Pain Association. The research result was worked out by prospective method. Average age of patients 33.4±8.9. Pain location: Chronic pelvic pain 30%; Dysmenorrhea 28.3%; Dysparunea 10%; Pain during defecation 6,7%; Without pain -25%. Average level of Serum СА125 was 38.13±20.6. Location of endometriosis: adenomyosis - 8.4%, endometrioma-15% endometriotic lesion at cul de suc 68.3%, rectal involment 1.7%, tubal lesion-3.3%, combined 3,3%. 76.7% of surgery for endometriosis have done by laparoscopy and 23.3% by laparotomy. Ultrasound examination result: endometrioma d=0-2cm-1.7%, d= 3-5cm-36.2%, d=6-8cm-10.3%, d=9cm<-12.1%. Cytology result: Peritoneal fluid contains 75% of erythrocytes, mesothelial cells and it needs to further study.CONCLUSION:Most of patient /58.3%/ had chronic pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea. The severity of pain was significantly improved after operative laparoscopy. /p<0.05%/51,7% of patient had infertility problem.Value of serum CA-125 was higher in study group with large sized and not clear content ovarian endometrioma by ultrasound examination. /p<0.05%/The local environment of peritoneal fluid surrounding the endometriotic implant is immunologically dynamic and links the reproductive and immune systems. Peritoneal factors to stimulate cell growth is the most widely accepted explanation for peritoneal endometriosis. Peritoneal fluid contains a variety of free floating cells, including macrophages, mesothelial cells, lymphocytes, erythrocytes, eosinophils and mast cells. In our cytology results: peritoneal fluid contains 75% of erythrocytes, mesothelial cells.

Introduction:
Worldwide, an estimated two billion people have evidence of HBV infection, and approximately 240 million have CHB. In this study, a representative group of Mongolian adults was tested for hepatitis B virus (HBV) in 2017. The prevalence estimates of HBV the general Mongolian adult population were found to be 11.1%, respectively.
In April 2017, EASL added a drug newly approved for treatment of CHB, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) to
their list of recommended first-line therapies. The requirement for long-term therapy in chronic HBV highlights the importance of these efficacy and safety trends, however their true clinical relevance is yet to be established and further studies with long-term follow up and real-world clinical data are needed.
Goal:
Evaluate for result of tenofovir alafenamide in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B infection.
Materials and Methods:
The clinical trials have evaluated TAF in HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative chronic HBV
patients. The trials have similar designs and are randomized, double blind, non-inferiority studies.
The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with HBV DNA<29 IU/ml at week
24 and 48. Other prespecified efficacy endpoints were the proportion of patients with HBsAg
seroncoversion to anti-HBs at week 24 and 48. Key secondary safety end- points at week 24 and 48
included the percentage change in T-score, and Z-score bone mineral density (BMD), percentage
change in BMD and change from baseline serum creatinine.
Results:
The primary efficacy endpoint, an HBV DNA level <29 IU/ml at week 24, was achieved by 120
(59.1%) of 203 patients receiving TAF, which was non-inferior to the 63 (55.2%) of 114 patients
receiving TDF who had an HBV DNA<29 IU/ml. After 24 weeks of treatment, patients receiving
TAF had significantly smaller reductions in bone mineral density (BMD) compared with patients
receiving TDF.
Conclusion
The development of TAF, specifically designed to deliver potent antiviral activity but with an
improved safety profile compared with TDF, is therefore timely.
