Introduction:
Coronary atherosclerosis is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Hypogonadism is not considered a traditional risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Higher CVD mortality may be partially attributed to behavioral and physical characteristics of males, including increased smoking, drinking, endocrine and metabolic factor like fat distribution, and low male engagement in preventive care. In the last decades, many studies have suggested that low testosterone levels are associated with increased prevalence of risk factors for CVD, including dyslipidemia and diabetes. For the reason, this research focused on identifying any association between testosterone deficiency and risk factors of coronary heart disease.
Goal:
This study aimed to identify any association between testosterone deficiency and risk factors of coronary heart disease in Mongolian men.
Material and methods:
In this case control study, we determined plasma total testosterone, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, apolipoprotein – ApoA1, Apo B and glucose in 287 subjects, among them 125 patients with ACS and 162 healthy subjects. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0 of IBM.
Results:
Mean age of the participants was 55.19±6.99 years old. It was found that, mean plasma TT levels in patients with ACS (4.17 ng/ml) was significantly lower than in the healthy subjects (4.70 ng/ml). There was a negative association between plasma TT level and glucose level (r=-0.185; p=0.002) and ApoB/ApoA1 (r=-0.132, p=0.026).
Conclusion
The results in the present study suggest that low plasma TT level may be a risk factor for CHD in men, which may relate to the influence of plasma lipoprotein and glucose metabolism by endogenous testosterone.

Cardiovascular diseases related death rates have been declining over, but during the two decades,
mortality and morbidity attributable by cardiovascular diseases are continuously taking the first place
among the leading causes of morbidity and deaths among the population. Statistics show that >4
million people die each year from cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes in Europe. The World Health
Organization reports that in less developed and developing countries, obesity and mortality are
expected to continue to increase, depending on the age of the population and the characteristics of
lifestyle.
Dyslipidaemia is characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and decreased
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and is a known risk factor for development and progression of atherosclerosis in CAD.
Dyslipidemia and hypertension are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and account
for more than 80% of deaths and disability in low- and middle-income countries. Increased serum
levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipid (HDL)-cholesterol and decreased
low-density lipid (LDL)-cholesterol are known to be associated with major risk factors for CVD. The
Framingham study and others that followed could show that HDL-C is an independent cardiovascular
risk factor and that the increase of HDL-C of only 10 mg·L(-1) leads to a risk reduction of 2-3%. A
recent meta-analysis, including 302.430 subjects from 68 long-term prospective studies, supported the
importance of HDL-C measurement in the risk assessment for CAD.
However, data about the relationship between cardiovascular disease and lipid profile among
Mongolian adult are rare in the literature. In recent years, rapid urbanization, unhealthy diet, increased
life expectancy and lifestyle changes have led to an increased rate of CVD around the world.

Introduction: There are dozens of research work about Toin
Jambaldorj. But most of them based on his works including fiction of
medicine, “Beautiful eyes”. We started detailed research on his work
“wooden herb species” of his book “Beautiful eyes”. As we started
research on great healer Nayman Toin Jambaldorj’s biography and
work, we analyzed and made research on his work “Gants tengerc
ochir tarny Ishiddonrovdambiijalsan Tsog saityn ouryn yawdal yosny
tiin nomlol ene nasny uzegdlyn noir-ous sergeegch khuslyn erdene
khemeeh orshiwoy”. This work/fiction was inherited by Tibetan
monk Louwsanzandan to professor of Inner Mongolian University
Erdembayar during his study in Tibet.

Background:
The American Heart Association estimates that more than 1 million people die each
year from acute coronary heart disease and half a million from acute coronary syndrome, and
that $ 115 billion a year is spent on diagnosing and treating coronary heart disease [Word Health
Organization, 2013].
Goal:
In this study we aimed to using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to
diagnose unstable plaques in coronary artery disease.
Material and methods:
From 2018 to 2021, we performed a coronary computed tomography
angiography (CCTA) scan with a Philips Ingenuity 64-slice computed tomography (64 MD-CT)
device and examined 47 patients diagnosed with unstable coronary artery disease at the Reference
centre on Diagnostic Imaging named after R.Purev State Laureate, People’s physician and Honorary
professor of the State Third Central Hospital.
Common statistical measurements such as means and standard errors were calculated. Probability
of results were checked using Student’s test.
Result:
In studying signs of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to diagnose unstable
plaques in coronary artery disease that coronary artery diameters more widening to compared healthy
artery 16(34.0%±6.9), low density sites clarify in plaque (lower than +30HU)- 14(29.8%±6.7), small
calcification detect in plaque 36 (74.5%±6.4), ring liked additional density (lower than +130 HU)
sees in edge of plaque (Halo sign)-9(19.2%±5.8), plaque edge roughness, erosion liked changes- 18
(38.3%±7.1), rupture of intima (dissection)- 8(17.0%±5.5).
Conclusion
We detect that computed tomography angiography (CCTA)’s specific signs of unstable
plaque of coronary artery disease are coronary artery diameters widening, low density sites clarify in
plaque (lower than +30HU), small calcification detect in plaque, ring liked additional density (lower
than +130 HU) sees in edge of plaque (Halo sign), plaque edge roughness, erosion liked changes
and rupture of intima.

Background:
Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is grown rapidly in last years. The
application of cardiopulmonary bypass using a heart-lung machine to perform open heart surgery
is known to be associated with numerous pathophysiologic changes including injury of cellular
components as erythrocyte, platelets, coagulopathy, and fibrinolysis.
Objectives:
Our study objective is to study on relation of open heart surgery phases and blood
coagulation parameters.
Materials and Methods:
Blood samples from 49 patients (28 females and 21 males, aged 18-
63 years) who underwent open heart surgery with cardiopulnonary bypass (CPB) were collected
before and at several time points during, after surgery and analyzed for coagulation parameters
at Shastin Third Central Hospital.
Results:
To compare long continued cardiopulmonary bypass (over 1 h) surgery with less 1
h groups there prothrombin time was found 18.8±5.9 sec, international normalized ratio (INR)
2.09±0.9 sec prolonged (p<0.001) in 7 days after surgery. All coagulation parameters were
decreased significantly (p<0.001) in during extracorporeal circulation and after 1 h declamping
than preoperative level and reached near normal value in 48 h after surgery. Our results have
referred to platelet counts reduction to about 53% in during surgery, 46.8% in 48 h after surgery
of the preoperative level 237.4±57.1 with final return to normal levels 228.9±78.6 within 7 days.
Conclusions
1. The cardiopulmonary bypass time and patient age in relation to open heart surgery type there
were significant difference (p <0.01).
2. The coagulation parameters have revealed significant changes (p <0.01) in relation
cardiopulmonary bypass time.
3. All coagulation parameters were decreased significantly (p<0.001) in during extracorporeal
circulation and after 1 h decamping than preoperative level and reached near normal value in
48 h after surgery.
4. There was direct and less correlation between platelet level and CPB time (r=0.37, p<0.001).

Article deals with age-related hypogonadism in men as an interdisciplinary problem. Current definition, prevalence, analyzes the relationship between age and the incidents of hypogonadism were shown. The detailed overview of clinical studies, meta analysis of causal link of androgen deficiency and erectile dysfunction, ischemic heart disease, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus was presented. To date was found the relationship between metabolic syndrome and androgen deficiency. Low level of testosterone is closely connected with low libido as well as insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are noticed in patients with hypogonadism in comparison with obese and normal-weight patients. Therefore, metabolic risk factors are the connecting link of cardiovascular diseases and androgen deficiency. Meta-analysis of clinical trials of the effects of testosterone replacement therapy and safety of long term use was presented in the article. The article discusses the importance of a unified approach to the diagnosis and treatment of androgen-deficient conditions and cardiovascular disease.

Background:
Lower extremity arterial diseases are chronic stenosis of the artery and occlusive arterial diseases,
which are commonly caused by atherosclerosis. Prevalence of lower extremity arterial diseases has
positive proportional relationship with age of the patients. Furthermore, prevalence of lower extremity
arterial disease is 16% among the males over the age of 60, whereas prevalence among same aged
woman is 13%. Among the age group of 38 to 59 age, 60 to 69 age and 70-82 age group, prevalence
of lower extremity arterial disease was 5.6%, 15.9%, and 33.8%, respectively.
Goal:
Identifying lower extremity arterial occlusive disease and chronic stenosis of arteries by CTA-TASC
classification of aorta-iliac and femoral popliteal lesions.
Obiective:
1. To identify age and sex of the patients with lower extremity arterial occlusive disease and chronic
stenosis of arteries.
2. To identify lower extremity arterial occlusive disease and chronic stenosis of arteries by CTA-TASC classification of aorta-iliac and femoral popliteal lesions.
Material and methods:
Study sample consisted of 237 patients, who were diagnosed with lower extremity arterial occlusive
disease and chronic stenosis of arteries from 2019 to 2020 at reference centre on Diagnostic Imaging
na after R.Purev State Laureate, People’s physician and Honorary professor of the State Third Central
Hospital. Computed angiogram images of lower extremity arteries were examined. Contrast agent
“Ultravist” was pumped by automatic syringe. Lower extremity arterial occlusive disease and chronic
stenosis of arteries are categorized by CTA-TASC classification of аorta-iliac and femoral popliteal
lesions. The youngest participant was 20 years old and the oldest participant was 76 years old.
Common statistical measurements such as means and standard errors were calculated. Probability
of results were checked using Student’s test.

We have found following results: 185(78.1%±3.0) cases out of 237 diagnosed patients with lower
extremity arterial occlusive disease and chronic stenosis of arteries are males and 52(21.9%±3.0)
cases are female. Distribution of lower extremity arterial occlusive disease and chronic stenosis of
arteries by the age group of patients are: up to 20 years of age is 3 (1.3%±0.7), 21 to 40 years of age
is 14(5.9%±1.5), 41 to 60 years of age is 86(36.3%±3.1) and over the age of 61 is 134(56.5%±3.2).
It is statistically highly significant that experiencing lower extremity arterial occlusive disease and
chronic stenosis of arteries among the age group of over 61(P<0.001).
The result of lower extremity arterial occlusive disease and chronic stenosis of arteries by the CTA-TASC classification of aorta-iliac and femoral popliteal lesions are: CTA-TASS аorta-iliac lesions
