Background:
The purpose of this study is to investigate students' satisfaction whose were studying in the academic years 2020-2021, 2021 - 2022 with the biology curriculum at "Ach" Medical University, to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching method, and to improve the planning and execution of future teaching and learning activities based on the students' perceptions.
Introduction:
One of the ways to evaluate the quality of services of higher education institutions is the student satisfaction survey. The satisfaction of any customer with the service that they receive depends on many factors. We conducted a survey on the satisfaction of students who are the main users of the Biology curriculum at Ach Medical University, and considered that it is necessary to pay further attention to the fact that the results taking and the requirements.
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to take a survey of the satisfaction of the students of the biology curriculum of "Ach" Medical University based on the perceptions of the students, give an evaluation and conclusion about the teaching activities and improve the teaching quality and methodology.
Materials and Methods:
This research is based on the HEdPERF model Beaumont (2012) who has developed a model for evaluating the quality of higher education with 6 factors, each factor having 4 questions and 1-10 points. F of these factors were used in this research [12]. It includes:
1. Training-Lecture Quality, Seminar/Laboratory Quality, Teacher's Teaching Methodology, Importance of Course Content
2. Teacher-Professional knowledge and experience: Ability to support and help students, Recognize the needs of the students, Ability to attract student's attention in training, Communication skills
3. Organization and materiality of study - Organization, Management, Flexibility of the training, Quality, and Availability of training materials and equipment
In the academic year 2020-2021 and 2021-2022, students who studied biology were asked to evaluate the performance of the "Biology" curriculum by answering 30 questions with 3 groups of questions using Google form, and answering one of the points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for each question and collected the research material by clarifying.
General information of the research participants :
147 first-year students in "Ach" Medical University aged 17-20, 86.4% female and 13.6% male, or 29.4% of all students, participated in the survey.

Result
Teaching process of biology course:
The participants of the research who studied the biology course through combined online and classroom learning answered that the lecture course was conducted that explains the phenomenon broadly in a scientific unity. They answered that the method of lecturing is appropriate for explaining cases, repeating topics, clarifying interrelationships, the content and quantity of independent work, and practical importance if the tasks are completed.
Evaluation methodology of the teaching:
The participants said that the lessons are taught clearly, with real-life examples, communication between teacher and students is proper, independent work is checked promptly, the results reporting is done on time and the evaluation is as realistic.
When the teacher asks for corrections during class in the future:
The students said that if the teacher has more conversations with them, if the teacher speaks louder while taking classes, and some answered that there is nothing to correct.
Biology curriculum evaluation:
When asked about the environment for implementing the Biology curriculum and the availability of teaching materials, the students said it is moderate. In response to the question of describing the advantage and disadvantages of the Biology curriculum:
• The knowledge and skills of the teacher, as well as the opportunity to learn from other programs are an advantage
• Classrooms, equipment, and e-learning were evaluated as weaknesses.
Conclusion
1. According to the satisfaction survey results obtained from 147 students who are representatives of the students who studied Biology in the 1st year of 2021 and 2022 at "Ach" Medical University, it was concluded that the teaching process of biology is 84.8 percent or good.
2. In order to further improve the course's quality and results, and also each student's practice, it was determined that some changes to the ratio of the content of the lectures and seminars, in addition to attending practice classes regularly in the classroom and with mutual discussion, are required.

Background. This study is to determine mode of metabolism on triple collaboration bridges of traditional medicine, modern medicine and NCM.Goal. To determine membrane redoxy potentials three line involves important regulation factors on mode of metabolism which relationship connected with rlung, mkris, and badgan symbolic code.Materials and Methods. Only 81 healthy individuals were involved in the study. Proton leak was determined by quantity rate of MDA in cell membrane and membrane resistance, proton conductance was determined by serum and urine oxidase activity.Results. The table 1 shows quantity rate of membrane resistance was decreased 1.08-1.52 fold, HDL content was decreased, and however LDL was increased. This result is to manifest low proton leak which means this type is likely belonged to badgan symbolic code with qualities cold fatty, earth, water. The table 2 shows serum and urine oxidize activity 2.22-6.1 fold was increased, HDL content was increased; UCP-3 gene activity relatively was increased. This result is to manifest highproton conductance which means this type is likely belonged to mkris symbolic code with qualities hot fatty, fire.Conclusions:1. Individuals with high proton leak and slow proton conductance had serum and urine oxidize activity were weak, therefore there are visceral and subcutaneous fat were low.2. Individuals with medium proton leak and high proton conductance had serum and urine oxidize activity were high, therefore there are visceral was low and subcutaneous fat was high.3. Individuals with weak proton leak and medium proton conductance had serum and urine oxidize activity were medium, therefore there are visceral was high and subcutaneous fat was low.

Background:
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) and Hops (Humulus lupus) are famous herbs in throughout world. Both medicinal herbs have been used for insomnia in European, Asian traditional medicine for centuries. Valmedin consists from mixed herb extracts of Valerian and Hops. It possess antidepressant, anti-anxiety effect, and improves sleep efficiency.
Aim :
The aim of this study was to evaluate quality control parameters for standardization of Valmedin pellet and assess toxicity of Valmedin pellet.
Methods:
In the present study pellets was prepared by extrusion-spheronization technique. The pellet size was determined by sieve analysis using sonic separator. The extract of Valmedin formulation was prepared in pellet (dragee). Valmedin pellet was subjected to analysis for physiochemical parameters, phytochemical studies, heavy metals and quality parameters according to Mongolian pharmacopoeia (2002,). The lethal dose at 50% (LD50) was calculated according to Prozorovskii. In the test chronic toxicity was used two doses of the concentrated extract of Valmedin (0.25; 0.5 g/kg) and assessed parameters (ALT, ALP, AST, bilirubin, total protein, TNFα, IL-6).
Result:
First of all, the quality of biological active components and physiochemical parameters of individual herbs including Valerian, Hops and Metha L have been fulfill the basic requirements of standardization herbal medicines. Moisture content of Valmedin pellets was 1.6 ±0.01%. Total tannin and valerenic acid content found to be 0.051±0.05, 0.71±0.02% for a pellet. Levels of heavy metals was within the permissible range of standard.
In the acute toxicity study, the LD50 value of the concentrated extract from Valmedin was 1.56 g/kg (i.p). No significant changes in body weights of treated animals. In the hematological and biochemical analyses of Valmedin in dose of 250 mg/kg has shown no significant change in the levels of ALT, AST, ALP and levels of RBC and WRC counts in blood serum. Valmedin at dose of 500 mg/kg after chronic injection lower sign levels of ALT, ALP enzymes, and total protein compared with the control group I. It increases significantly levels of AST enzyme, glucose in blood serum. By hematological analyses, Valmedin in dose of 500 mg/kg elicited decrease in the level of hematological parameters such as white blood cells and red blood cells count in whole blood. Likewise, treatment of Valmedin in doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg did not induce any change in the levels of TNF and IL-6 cytokines.
Conclusion
Pellets of Valmedin containing Valerian, Hops, and Metha were successfully made achieving degrees of quality, physical stability compatible with the requirements for standardization and formulation.
