Background:
Acute appendicitis is an inflammatory disease and acommon cause of acute
abdominal pain. The application of the sophisticated automated hematology analyzer more
precisely define the morphology changes blood cells. According to this diagnose and treatment
control issues are solved by easy and not expensive way. Recent studies haveshown that there is a
negative correlation between platelet count (PC) and MPV and that theratio of these two values
may be more meaningful. The aim of our study was to investigate thediagnostic value of MPV and
the MPV/PC ratio in acute appendicitis.
Methods:
The patients were divided into two groups based on their histopathological findings:
the uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis groups. Leukocyte count, PC, MPV and the
MPV/PC ratio were compared all groups.
Results:
Total of 186 patients, including 119 men, were included in the study. The average age of
all patients was 10.21±1.22 years. There was statistically significant difference of some parameters
in peripheral blood between the uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis groups in terms
of all index. (p<0.001). Leukocyte count had a strong discriminatory property based on the area
under curve (AUC) 0.714, (p<0.001). MPV, PC and the MPV/PC ratio had weak discriminatory
power with AUC values <0.663. Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the
sensitivity and specificity of MPV were 81.56and 45.7%, respectively, and 63.78% and 71.06%,
respectively, for the MPV/PC ratio.
Conclusions
In our study, MPV and the MPV/PC ratio were useful in the diagnosis of acute
appendicitis.

Background:
Children with developmental disabilities benefit from
support in motor skills, sensory processing, cognitive development, and
social skills. Mongolia has trained occupational therapists for a decade,
with 37% specializing in pediatrics, but long-term therapy facilities remain
limited.
Aim:
This study provides a case report on a child with
developmental disabilities who received occupational therapy to evaluate
improvements in sensory processing, social communication, and
daily living skills.
Materials and Methods:
The study participants were
purposively selected from children undergoing occupational therapy at
the “Enerel” Child Development Center. Participant A is a 16-year-old
male with hearing and speech impairments, as well as an intellectual
disability. The initial assessment showed poor sensory processing and
behavioral problems and communication difficulties. A tailored program
incorporating sensory-based therapies, communication cards, and sign
language was developed with caregiver collaboration. Occupational
therapy was conducted five times weekly for 11 weeks. Pre and post
test assessments included goal attainment scaling (GAS) and Sensory
profile 2 (Child).
Results:
The participant showed improved communication
using cards and sign language, better emotional regulation,
enhanced sensory processing, and reduced hyperactivity to external
stimuli. Goal Achievement (GAS) +2, meaning the goal was achieved
better than expected and positive changes were found on the Sensory
profile 2, with large effect sizes.
Conclusion
The study found that sensory-
based occupational therapy and sign language training improved
occupational performance and goal achievement in children with sensory,
behavioral, and communication difficulties.

Introduction: In 2007, ” National innovation Development
Program in Mongolia” was adopted by 306th act of Mongolian
government and indicated that its important to focus attention to
research outcomes become real productions based on scientific
knowledges, experiences, skilled personnel and possibility of
laboratory and production.
In Mongolian and Tibetan traditional medicine have been used
many herbal and animal preparations has biological active
compound with anti inflammatory effect for the treatment of
wound healing and ulcer. One of them, Cacalia hastata L. is a
medicinal plant, which is widely used for the treatment of wound
healing, cholangitis and gastroduodenal ulcer in the Mongolian
and Tibetan traditional medicine.
It is appropriate to prepare film coated tablet for the treatment of
gastric and duodenal ulcer, gel for the treatment of wound
healing.
Purpose: To prepare film coated tablet for the treatment of
gastric and duodenal ulcer, gel for the treatment of wound
healing from semi-solid extract of Cacalia hastata L. and
determine their quality criteria.
Material and methods: Herb of Cacalia hastata L. was collected
as a raw material from Terelj in July 2009; from Batsumber
soum, Tuv aimag province in July 2010, 2011. For determining
of quality of semi-solid extract and new drug formulations were
evaluated biological activity compounds such as alkaloid,
carotenoid and flavonoid by spectrophotometric method. We
prepared film coated tablet by wet granulation and film coating
method and gel by dispersion method.
Tests for significant differences between means were performed
by one sample t-test and One way ANOVA using the software
SPSS 16. Differences were considered significant at p<0.05.
Results: We prepared tablet from semi-solid extract of Cacalia
hastata L. For preparing the film coated tablet used mixture
solution of 8 % gelatin and 6 % sodium carboxymethylcellulose
as a binder, sodium carbonate as diluents. The tablet was
coated 5% solution of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose with 10 %
polyethyleneglycol as a film former used traditional coating pan.
Film coated tablet was standardized by such criteria, as
appearance (colour, smell), the average weight, amount of
biologically active compound, hardness, disintegration,
dissolution and bacterial contamination. We prepared Cacalia
gel from semi-solid extract of Cacalia hastata L. using various
excipients and determined quality criteria, developed
technological scheme of preparing. Gel was standardized by
such as criteria: appearance (color, smell), the amount of
biologically active compound, pH, viscosity, spreadability,
extrudability and bacterial contamination.
Conclusions: 1. Developed technology of preparing 0.3 gram film
coated tablet from semi-solid extract of Cacalia hastata L. and
determined quality criteria. 2. Developed technology of gel from
semi-solid extract of Cacalia hastata L. and standardized its
quality.
