Mongolian Medical Sciences 2010;153(3):44-47
Goal: To determine histological forms in the majority of esophageal cancer in Mongolian population.
Materials and Methods: Analysis was done on 285 materials of esophageal cancer and esophageal pre cancer in 1998- 2002. Materials of studies were diagnosed by classification of WHO, 2006.
Result: In world average age of developing esophageal cancer is 55 years which is similar with our study result. By histopathology site among Russian population squamocell carcinoma occurs in 96%, 3% for adenocarcinoma, 1% for undifferentiated carcinoma, but in our results 64.5%, 7%, 2.4% corresponding. For cancer topography site of esophageal precancer lesions, neoplasms and invasive cancers are occur in lower part of esophagus. It is a main cause of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Comparing N.I.Kolicheva study result, 43.1% for lower part of esophagus and 34.3% for middle third of esophagus which is similar with our study result.
Conclusions
1. Esophageal disease and cancer occurs in female and male is 1:1.8.
2. Esophageal cancer located in inner third.
3. Most frequent path histology site of esophageal cancer is squamocell carcinoma (64.5%).

Introduction
Cervical cancer screening program is using conventional Pap smear (CPS) have been successfully
used in Mongolia, but new kind of test as “Liquid based cytology” (LBC) is not popular for screening.
This liquid based cytology testing might reduce the number of unsatisfactory smears, and increase the
accuracy of diagnosing.
Goal
The main aim of this study was to assess diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity of Liquid based cytology
versus Conventional Pap smear using ‘split-samples’ technique.
Materials and Methods
This was cross sectional study, total of 75 cervical split samples were included over a period of 2 months.
Split sample was obtained using cervix-brush. CPS was prepared from brush and the brush head was
suspended in the Liquid based vial and processed by LBC method and pap staining. Smears were
diagnosed by cytologists. Abnormal smears were concluded by cervical biopsy as a Golden Standard.
Results
There were 14%unsatisfactory smears in CPS and 6% in LBC; the main cause is insuffi cient cells, and
excess blood in CPS. LBC had diagnostic accuracy of LSIL was lower, but ASC-US was higher than
CPS was signifi cant. LBC (100%) was more sensitive than CPS (89%) was confi rmed by biopsy.
Conclusions: LBC testing was successfully reduced unsatisfactory smears rate. LBC samples offered
better clarity and uniform spread of smears, less time for screening and better diagnostic accuracy of
LSIL and ASC-US than CPS.

Although stomach cancer immunohistochemistry is similar tothe immunohistochemistry of other organ, it
has great impact on diagnosis and treatment, such as its ability to reveal whether the cancer is primary
or metastatic and which treatment model would be more effective in individual case.
Lately, CK7, CK20 and CDX-2 immunohistochemical markers are commonly used in stomach cancers.
Stomach cancer prognosis is different in each patient, depending on several factors, patients’ health
status, cancer cell differentiation, and cancer cell growth. To evaluate these factors,immunohistochemic
al analysis is more effective and for this purpose they use Ki-67, CD 34, BCL-2, p53, Cyclin D1, andHer-
2 markers.The evaluation of HER-2 expression should be carefully carried out, as following:
1. HER-2 expression should be evaluated on minimum 5 positive stained cells. The evaluation criteria
aremicroscopic magnification and cytoplasmic membrane-stained pattern.
2. Other than the membrane-stained pattern must be excluded. HER2 gene evaluation (FISH) can
confirm the HER2 IHCexpression.
3. Usage of FDA approved antibody (4B5) has the advantageof increased sensitivity.
4. The algorithm for the evaluation of HER-2 expression used for breast cancer has 50% possibility of
false negativity if it is used for stomach cancer. Therefore, it is needed to beevaluated with another
specific algorithm. Because HER-2 2+ and 3+ cases can improve outcome with usingTrastizumab
treatment.

Incidence rate of esophageal cancer is not similar in each country, for example higher incidence in Central Asia, North America and northern Africa. An esophageal cancer in Mongolia is 4th most common cancer after liver, stomach and lung cancers. At first to determine the structure and functional tendency we need to formulate mathematic analysis, processing and reference values of measurements. Formulation consists of 2 main parts that are quantitative and qualitative methods.Goal: By this research study we have aimed to determine pathological types and morphometric indices in esophageal cancer.Materials and Methods: Materials and samples for research study were chosen from biopsies, which were taken for diagnosis of esophageal disease in national center of cancer, Ulaanbaatar city among 1998-2002. These materials were diagnosed by international classification, 2006 of WHO. Totally 286 samples were prepared, here 184 (64.5%) samples were squamous cell carcinoma (well differentiated- 55, moderate differentiated-103, poorly differentiated-26), adenocarcinoma 20 (7%), undifferentiated carcinoma 7 (2.4%), intraepithelial neoplasia 74 (25.9%), low grade neoplasia 9 (3.1%) and high grade neoplasia was 65 (22.8%). Measurement was done by Video test 5.0 of Russia and software SPSS 17.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results: From the result of the study concluded the average indices are increased by 1.5 times in neoplasia cases of squamous epithelium, 2.1 times in well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma cases, 3.2 times in moderate differentiated squamous cell carcinoma cases, 2 times poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma cases, 2.1 times in adenocarcinoma cases and 1.7 times in the undifferentiated carcinoma cases in compare with relatively healthy average volume indices. But in the performed study was not observed a real difference between average volume indices of variable cancer cases. The most high rate of cell volume indices and square indices of nucleus were observed in moderate differentiated squamous cell carcinoma cases while in undifferentiated carcinoma and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma cases were lowest rate of cell volume indices were observed.Conclusions: There are considerable signification on caryometrical and stereometrical research of differentiation between esophageal cancer and precancerous diseases.

INTRODUCTION:
Urinary tract infections among the most common bacterial infectious diseases encountered at all
ages. Escherichia coli are being the etiologic agent in 50–80%. Therefore, it is an important public
health problem. E.coli causing urinary tract infections express pilli, fimbriae and others adherence
virulence factors.
GOAL:
To detect the some adherence virulence factors of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) in
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A total of 76E.colisampleswere collected. These samples were positive bacteriological examination
of urine, performed at the bacteriological laboratory of the State Central Third Hospital and State
Central First Hospital, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The biofilm formation was evaluated by the growth
rate of E.coli on plastic surface.The detection of the virulence factors type 1 fimbriae (fimA gene) and
P-fimbriae (papC) was performed by multiplex PCR using gene specific primers.Curli expression
was determined by using congo red agar.
RESULTS:
The evaluation of bacterial biofilm formation using 96 well plates showed 40 negative (52.6%),
32 weak biofilm (42.1%) and 4 moderate biofilm (5.3%) formation for E.coli and no strong biofilm
forming strain was detected. The cell surface protein (curli) was detected by Congo red agar. The
result was 71% positive for studied E.coli strains. The detection result of pili genes by multiplex
PCR showed that fimH gene detected for 73 (96.1%) and papC gene detected for 18 (23.7%) E.coli
cultures.
CONCLUSION: Almost half of surveyed Uropathogenic E.coli isolated in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia had
ability of biofilm formation and it has been determined by the bacterial surface protein (curli), which
is one of bacterial adherence factors, may cause biofilm formation.

Background: Research of histo and cytometry in comparative healthy and pathological condition is not so much in our country. Therefore, it is making a demand to do stereometrical research study on tissues, cells and nucleus.Goal: To study and to determine stereometrical indices, mathematic model of hepatocytes and nucleus in condition of comparatively healthy, acute intoxication, chronic inflammation and cancer of Mongolians.Materials and Methods: It was prepared sections for histometric materials. Linear measurements of hepatocytes and nucleus were carried out by computer-microscope “Leica” with program Diskus 3.2 version from German. On linear measurement in condition of comparatively healthy, acute intoxication, chronic inflammation and cancer were processed by mathematic modeling.Results: Volume distribution of hepatocyte’s cytoplasm χ2st=15.51>χ2 F=4.31; (P<0.001), and hepatocyte’s nucleus χ2 st=12.59>χ2 F=10.74 in comparatively healthy (normal) conditions pursues normal distribution formula, however, the volume of hepatocyte’s cytoplasm and nucleus follows Maxwell formula of abnormal distribution χ2 st=23.68>χ2 F=10.44; (P<0.001), χ2 st=15.51>χ2 F=6.90; (P<0.001) in a condition of acute intoxication and volume of hepatocyte’s cytoplasm and nucleus χ2 st=23.68>χ2 F=8.03; (P<0.001), χ2 st=15.51>χ2 F=4.32; (P<0.001) in a condition of chronic inflammation. And volume distribution of hepatocyte’s cytoplasm χ2 st=8.27>χ2F=19.68; (P<0.001), and hepatocyte’s nucleus χ2st=3.41>χ2F=3.82 incondition of cancer. There is no statistically significant difference (P<0.001) between observation and theoretical frequencies of average values of hepatocyte’s cytoplasm and nucleus volume, which confirms that the result is true and accurate.Conclusions:1. Volume of hepatocyte’s cytoplasm is 2184.18±36.98 mkm3 in comparatively healthy (normal) conditions, 4153.17±84.18 mkm3 in a condition of acute intoxication, 4887.84±75.51 mkm3 in a condition of chronic inflammation and 13143.88±4.29 mkm3 in a cancer condition. Volume of nucleus is 299.94±36.98 mkm3 in comparatively healthy (normal) conditions, 873.59±13.86 mkm3 in a condition of acute intoxication, 888.65±13.51 mkm3 in a condition of chronic inflammation and 2924.57±2.12 mkm3 in a cancer condition.2. Volume of hepatocyte’s cytoplasm was increased 2 times, volume of hepatocyte’s nucleus was increased 3 times in a condition of acute intoxication and volume of hepatocyte’s cytoplasm was increased 2.2 times, volume of hepatocyte’s nucleus was increased 2.9 times (P< 0.001) in a condition of chronic inflammation. However volume of hepatocyte’s cytoplasm was increased 6.5 times, volume of hepatocyte’s nucleus was increased 9.7 times in a condition of cancer.
