Background:We determined lipid parameters which are the leading causes of developing cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis and investigated the increased serum triglyceride level which is referred to as atherogen triad , decreased high-density lipoprotein and increased low- density lipoprotein associating with age and sex.Method:237 people who were done lipid level parameter tests in the Central Hospital Laboratory were involved in the study. We identifed cholesterol, triglyceride, lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein ( HDL) (COBASC-311,ROCHE,Germany) which are the lipid parameters using full automatic apparatus .Results:While serum cholesterol level increased in the ages between 40-60 and has a tendency to decrease in the further, HDL level was decreasing as the age grew. Serum LDL level has strong direct relevance to cholesterol (r=0.720, p<0.01) and weak relevance to triglyceride (r=0.189,p<0.01). As for the sex, high- density lipoprotein level decreased for men with statistical importance (p<0.05) and there was no signifcant difference in other parameters. LDL level increased for 81.8% , increased cholesterol for 51.1%, raised triglyceride for 27.9% comparing with the normal rate but HDL level was decreased for 32.2% of the participants in the study. These changes mostly occurred at the ages of 40-60. Atherogen triad occurred for 16.5% of the participants and 13(33.3%) of whom were male and 26(66.7%) female.Conclusion:LDL and cholesterol level raised more than the normal rate comparing with other lipid parameters particularly as for 40-60 aged people and atherogen triad which leads to develop atherosclerosis occurs in 16.5% of all adults in the study.

Those three medicinal plants were collected fromdifferent regions of Mongolia and samples their upper part of ground. The plants were used for thepurpose of their phytochemical analysis and technological study of gel formulation. For the contentof flavonoids, total coumarin and tannin in the gel and extract of those plants were determined byspectrophotometric method. The direct measurement of the microbiological climacteric was determinedin extract by according to Mongolian National Pharmacopeia and the viscosity property of gel medicinewas identified using viscometer.ResultsThis study has revealed the presence of photochemical considered as active medicinal chemicalconstituents. Chemical tests of the screening and identification of main active components in the plantsunder study were carried out in the ethanol extract (20, 40, 70%) and aqueous extract using generalextraction method. The tannin content of the upper part in water and three different concentrated ethanolextract was found to be (2.16±0.04%, 1.73±0.04%, 2.58±0.04% and 1.74±0.02%), respectively. Thetannin content of upper part in 40% of ethanol extract of the plants was 7.40±0.21% and coumarin contentwas 3.01+0.09% and the total flavanoids content were 0.70+0.03%. There were not detected Esherichiacoli, Salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus in plant extracts. The gelmedicine was prepared from concentrated plant extract using dispersion method and and gel formingmaterial selection using 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% of carbomer. The results from gel formulation assay,the 0.5% of the gel was turbid liquid state, and 1% of the gel was a colorless, clear liquid state, 1.5% gelwas colorless, created very clear and 2% gel was colorless but it was very dense. The pH condition ofthe 1% of Dentos gel was 7.6 and the viscosity property was 7400000 mPa/sec, the flavonoid contentwas 0.165%, the total coumarin content was 0.69 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcusaureus, Enterobacteriaceae did not detected. Dentos 1% gel was compared its pharmacological trialwith Hi Ora gel which is produced by Himalaya LLC.

BackgroundThe works done during the research include: conducting photochemical study on the surface of the piece of land on which the medicinal herbs chosen as samples for the research grow; extracting dry infusion from plants; identifying main substance and antibacterial activity of dry infusion; conducting pilot pharmacological experiment with mineral samples.GoalBased on the results of these experiments, we aimed at finding out wound healing functions of Chelidonium majus. L, Stellerae chamaejasme.L etc, widely used in both conventional and modern medicine as well as of such minerals as Sinder, Zeolite, Tormohon, Baragshun after selecting from them.Materials and MethodsAlkaloid, a biologically active substance found in surface of plant land and dry infusion, was determined by titration method, alkaloids such as protopine and berberine by high performance liquid chromatography, coumarin and flavonoid by spectrophotometric method, the amount of infusible substance by scale method. The methodologies of Gatsura.N and Avtandilov.G.G were adopted to make artificial wound on skin and to heal a wound respectively.ResultsAs the research result shows, the surface of the area where Stellerae chamaejasme.L grow, contains 0.33% ±0.004 total coumarin, 0.19 % ±0.002 flavonoid and 37.14 % ±0.61 infusible substance while that of Chelidonium majus.L contains 0.19% ±0.003 total alkaloid, 0.12 % ±0.004 flavonoid, 0.09 % ±0.002 coumarin and 36.27%±0.74 infusible substance. After the infusion was extracted from Stellerae chamaejasme.L and Chelidonium majus.L through method of percolation with mixer, there were 16% and 14.5% dry substance remained in the infusions respectively. These figures were reduced to 12.6% and 11.4% after freezing them in -500C for 72 hours in dry freezing. The fact that total coumarin contained in dry infusion of Stellerae chamaejasme.L is 2.95% and protopine and berberine in that of Chelidonium majus.L, is 28 мг,% and 3.7 мг,% respectively meets the requirements for medicinal plant extracts. It was found during the pharmacological experiment of preparing 25% oil ointment composed of minerals including Sinder, Tormohon, Zeolite, Baragshun that zeolite was the highest effective mineral in healing a wound by wound index. Therefore, we chose zeolite as an ingredient of the wound ointment. Oil ointments of 6 variations with 5% and 10% content were prepared from the dry infusion as well as minerals of the study plants, and pilot pharmacological experiment was conducted on an experimental mouse that had an artificial wound. The result of the experiment proved that oil ointments with 5% content of Stellerae chamaejasme.L, Chelidonium majus.L and zeolite were more effective in healing the wound than others.ConclusionBy photochemical analysis, the chosen plants proved to be meeting the requirements for medicinal plants. Pilot pharmacological experiment showed that zeolite was the one that accelerated a wound healing process more efficiently than others. Oil ointments with 5% content of dry infusion and 5% of zeolite were effective in healing a wound quickly.

Kidney transplantation is the best alternative treatment for end-stage renal disease and health-related quality of life and survival of the patients are improved compared with dialysis. Worldwide, more than 1.4 million patients with CKD receive renal replacement therapy with incidence growing by approximately 8% annually.1 Unfortunately, despite significant improvement in graft function, kidney transplants can still fail due to acute rejection and chronic allograft nephropathy.2 Kidney biopsy after transplantation, which has evaluated by Banff 09 classification is usefull method for diagnose of transplanted kidney disease.3,4Kidney graft rejection was diagnosed in 10 renal allograft biopsy specimens (bs) obtained from transplant patients followed up at our institute between 2015 and 2016. All specimens were evaluated as satisfactory which show more than 8 glomerulus under the light microscopy. Each renal cortical tissue was divided into two tips: one piece for routine H&E stain and special stains, including Masson’s trichrome, and PAS stain; another piece for immunofluorescence by frozen section, which were stained with IgA, IgM, IgG and complement component (C3, C4, C1q, C4d). All the renal biopsies were examined by the same pathologist.Out of 117 transplantations, 10 episodes of rejection selected. Among the 10 patients, 30% had an acute T cell rejection and 70% had a chronic allograft nephropathy. Interstitial inflammation (i1-7) was present in 7 bs (70%), tubulitis (t1-4,t2-2) in 6 bs (60%), transplant glomerulitis (g1-1, g2-2, g3-1) in 4 bs (40%), transplant interstitial fibrosis (ci1-2, ci2-2, ci3-2) in 6 bs (60%), tubular atrophy (ct1-6, ct2-2, ct3-1) in 9 bs (90%), mesangial matrix increase (mm1-5) in 5 bs (50%), vascular fibrosis intimal thickeness (cv1-3) in 3 bs (30%), arteriolar hyaline thickening (ah1-5) in 5 bs (50%), tubulitis (ti1-6, ti2-3, ti3-1) in 10 bs (100%) and peritubular capillaritis (ptc1-1, ptc2-2, ptc3-1) in 4 bs (40%). C4d deposition was present very mild in wall of the vessels and peritubular capillaries. Because of not good working Methenamin silver stain, we couldn’t demostrate glomerular basement membrane changes (cg) fully.We suggest that histopathological changes of transplant glomerulopathy might be accompanied by inflammation of the microvasculature, such as transplant glomerulitis and peritubular capillaritis. C4d deposition in the wall of the vessels and peritubular capillaritis is not always present in biopsy specimens of transplant glomerulopathy.

Mongolian Journal of Health Sciences 2025;88(4):216-220
Background:
Mastication is a biomechanical process that involves the jaws and teeth working together to effectively
break down food through the contraction of masticatory muscles. The efficiency of this process is influenced by factors
such as bite force, the integrity of the dental arch, and individual characteristics, including age, gender, and body weight.
Previous research has investigated the bite force of natural teeth, comparing the differences between removable and fixed
denture teeth. For instance, Gibbs et al. estimated the bite force of Eskimo individuals to be 348 lbs (138 kg), while Al-Za
rea et al. reported a bite force of 580.9 N for fixed partial dentures. Additionally, J. Urangua estimated the bite force of first
permanent molars to be 472 N. Although studies have explored the bite force of Mongolian individuals with removable
dentures, there has been no investigation into the bite force of fixed partial dentures, highlighting a significant gap in the
literature that the current study aims to address.
Aim:
This study aims to assess the bite force following the restoration of teeth with Zirconia and Porcelain-Fused-to-Met
al crowns.
Materials and Methods:
The study involved 20 individuals aged 18 to 34 years, each of whom had their mandibular
molars restored with Zirconia and Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) crowns on one side, while the other side retained
their natural teeth, which had not undergone root canal treatment and exhibited no significant alveolar bone loss. A sin
gle-instance design was employed to measure occlusal force using the Occlusal Force Meter GM10. Statistical analysis
was conducted using SPSS 26.0 software, with results considered statistically significant at a probability level of p < 0.05.
Results:
The cohort comprised 20 subjects aged 18 to 34 years, with 65% (13) male and 35% (7) female, yielding a mean
age of 28.2 ± 3.5 years. The mean bite force for teeth covered with crowns was (393.2±0.3 N), compared to (445.5±70
N) for natural teeth. Notably, the bite force of the Zirconia crown (407.0±0.7 N) was higher than that of the Porce
lain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) crown 367.7±0.9N. When analyzed by gender, the bite force of natural teeth in men averaged
484.1±46.2N, while that of crowns was 445.3±43.7N. In women, the bite force of natural teeth averaged 373.7±15.4N,
compared to 296.4±19.6 N for crowns.
Conclusion
1. The bite force of zirconia porcelain crowns was 407.0±76N, while the bite force of metal porcelain crowns was
367.7±97N.
2. When determining the bite force of crowns and natural teeth, the bite force of crowns and natural teeth was
296.4±19.6N, and the bite force of uncoated teeth was 445.5±70N, respectively.
3. When compared by gender, the bite force of uncoated teeth in men was 484.1±46.2N, the bite force of coated teeth
was 445.3±43.7N, and the bite force of uncoated teeth in women was 373.7±15.4N, and the bite force of coated teeth
was 296.4±19.6N, and the bite force was significantly related to gender (p<0.0001).

Background:
Research on lactic acid bacteria has confirmed how specific strains possess probiotic properties and impart
unique sensory characteristics to food products. The use of probiotic lactic acid bacteria in many food products, thus con
fers various health benefits to humans when they are frequently consumed in adequate amounts.
Aim:
To determine the effect of lactic acid bacteria on the growth of tomatoes.
Materials and Methods:
The lactic acid bacteria were cultured using the Lactobacillus medium from whipping cream
and Dandelion (Taraxacum mongolicum) and identified using the MALDI-TOF MS automated microbial identification
analyzer. A solution was prepared using Lactobacillus delbrueckii isolated from whipping cream and Lactobacillus gas
seri isolated from Dandelion (10^7CFU/ml), and sterilized tomato seeds were watered for 10 days with the solution, while
sterilized distilled water was used as a control. The germination rate of the seeds and the root length were measured and
recorded every day.
Results:
The solution of L.delbrueckii bacteria isolated from cream germinated 100% of the seeds, which is 4% higher
than the control seeds, while the solution of L.gasseri bacteria isolated from Dandelion germinated 100%, supporting 4%
higher than the control seeds. Seedlings irrigated with the L.delbrueckii bacterial solution exhibited an average length of
10.3cm, which was 1.3cm longer than the control (P=0.003), indicating a statistically significant difference. Similarly,
those treated with the L.gasseri solution had an average length of 11.5cm, 2.5cm longer than the control (P=0.005), also
demonstrating statistical significance.
Conclusion
The application of the lactic acid bacterial solution significantly enhanced both the germination of tomato
seeds and the growth of the plants compared to the control solution.

Health Laboratory 2019;9(1):21-27
Background:
However kidney transplantation has being performed in Mongolia since
2006, because of pre-transplant sensitization, ABO incompatibility, hepatitis B and C virus
activation many patients are taken kidney transplantation in abroad. The transplantation
centers use own immunosuppressive regimens.
Objective:
Our aim was to assess the immunosuppressive regimens efficacy and toxicity
in kidney transplant Mongolian recipients.
Methods:
We analyzed data from 96 adult kidney transplant recipients who had taken
kidney transplantation in different transplant centers from August 2006 through January
2014. There were 3 kinds of regimens Group I Simulect induction with standard triple
/FK506/CyA+MMF/AZA+steroid/, Group II Campath-1H induction with CNI monotherapy
and Group III Campath-1H induction with standard triple /FK506/CyA+MMF/AZA+steroid/.
We retrospectively collected the post-transplant first two years serum creatinine. The study
was performed in 2014. The questionnaire was taken and blood samples collected for
determination of tacrolimus through level and for other laboratory tests. The primary end
point was the first two years serum creatinine, the secondary end points included rejection
episodes, blood through level of tacrolimus and some laboratory findings.
Results:
The post-transplant first two years serum creatinine levels were significantly
different in 3 groups. Group III showed similar results compared to Group I. There was not
enough data of biopsy proven acute rejection episodes however group II said more
rejections occurred. However participants said that rejection occurred in 15 (15.6%) biopsy
was done only 3 (3.1%) cases. Blood through level of tacrolimus was significantly different
in three groups. Some laboratory findings showed different between three groups.
Conclusions
A regimen of Campath-1H induction with CNI monotherapy (Group II) may
be advantageous for short-term renal function and cost effective but there were more
rejection complications and increased creatinine. The regimen of Campath-1H induction
11 with standard triple (Group III) may be advantageous for long-term renal function, allograft
survival, but there should consider about infection complications and polycythemia.
Simulect induction with standard triple could be best choice but transplantations were
performed in experienced centers. The study enrolled few cases and cases which were
performed at the beginning of transplant program so many things could influence on the
result. The study was compared beginner transplant center with experienced centers.
Longitudinal cohort study needed in the future.
