Introduction: This plants distributed about 2500 species in
worldwide and 69 species of those grow in Mongolia. In case of
medicinal application of this plant is commonly used traditional
medicine in European and Asian. For example, the different
preparations of Astragalus mongholicus root, the most commonly
used Astragalus species in Chinese medicine. Other Astragalus
species which are being investigated for their anti-cancer properties
are the Turkish species, and include Astragalus brachypterus,
Astragalus cephalotes, Astragalus microcephalus and Astragalus
trojanus. Astragalus mongholicus.Bunge. Traditional Uses: The
taste is sweet and the potency is hot. It is used for the following:
treating light swelling, water swelling and phlegm, and improving
physical energy and strength. It is also used to soothe a purulent
inflammation, for wound-healing, to treat lung fever, oliguria and
hemorrhoids. It is an ingredient of the following traditional
prescription: Jurur-6 Chemical constituents: Root contains
flavonoids: formononetin, 3-hydroxy-formononetin, 2,3- dihydroxy-
7,4-dimethoxyflavone, 7,3-dihydroxy-4-methoxyflavone 7-O-
glucoside, 7,3-dihydroxy-4- dimethoxyflavone, saponins:
astragaloside I-X, isoastragaloside I-IV, polysaccharides, Above-
ground parts contain astragaloside quercetin, isorhamnetin, rhamnocetin, isorhamnetin 3-b-Dglucopyranoside, propingoside,
coumarin, tannins, and saponins. Qualitative and quantitative
assays: Flavonoids in the plant are identified by cyanidin reaction
and reaction with lead tetraacetate. Total
flavonoid content is determined by spectrophotometry at 430 nm
and calculated as quercetin. Qualitative and quantitative standards:
Loss on drying, 8.0%. Organic matter, not more than 0.5% and
mineral matter, not more than 1.0%. Total flavonoid content, not
less than 3.0%.

Association between diagonal earlobe crease (DELC), also known as Frank’s sign and CAD was first found by Sanders T. Frank in 1973. Since its first description, others have shown it to be associated with the presence, as well as the extent and severity of CAD, independent of traditional CAD risk factors, such as serum lipids, diabetes mellitus, and smoking status.DELC is also associated with higher risk of major adverse cardiac events in patients with known CAD.Recent studies have suggested that DELC may also be a marker of generalized atherosclerotic disease. This study evaluates the association between the presence of diagonal earlobe creases (DELC) and coronary artery disease (CAD).
Four hundred people (246 men and 154 women, aged 28 to 92 years) were examined for the presence of DELC.400 people participated. In case group 200 people(142 men and 58 women, aged 30-87) who were getting treatment at State’s central 3rd hospital participated. In control group 200 people(104 men and 96 women, aged 28-92 who were getting treatment at State’s central 3rd hospital, National Traumatology Center included.We did statistic processing with MS Excel 2013, SPSS 20.0 DELC was present in 164 patients (82%) and absent in 36 patients (18%) of 200 participants documented with CAD (presence of > or = 50% coronary diameter stenosis at angiography). DELC was present in 42 people (21%) and absent in 158 people (79%) of 200 people documented without CAD. 82% of individuals with CAD had DELC. There was significant association between diagonal earlobe crease (DELC) and coronary artery disease (CAD), (p=0.039).
