BACKGROUNDS:
Abdominal X-ray findings of destructive acute pancreatitis are usually similar with intestinal
obstruction x-ray sign.
GOAL:
The main goal of this study is detecting X-ray findings of pancreatitis depend on type of pancreatitis
and location of the pathological abnormality.
OBJECTIVES:
1. Determining pancreatitis x-ray findings depend on types of pancreatitis and pathologic abnormalities
location.
2. Determining radiologic features of chronic pancreatitis
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
From2012 to 2014, 45 patients’ x-ray finding of pancreatitis have been analysed (31 patients with
acute pancreatitis and 14 patients with chronic pancreatitis). All patients have diagnosis by clinical
symptom, laboratory tests, ultrasound, celiacography, CT, MRI, ERCP, MRCP,citology and biopsy.
RESULTS:
X-ray findings of pancreatitis are associated with type of acute pancreatitis and location of pathologic
abnormalities in the pancreas.
CONCLUSION:
1. Patients with pancreatic tail swelling and deformity (acute pancreatitis), whose chest radiograph
shows elevation of left hemi-diaphragm. Arka signs are seen level of L2 ,right side of the L2-L3, and
stomach and upper part of the small intestine filled with gas, these recognized radiographic signs
are associated with head of the pancreas destruction, which is caused by acute pancreatitis.
2. In our study, commonly recognized radiographic signs associated with chronic pancreatitis include
with ascending colon and hepatic flexure are filled with gas, right part of transverse colon spasms,
stomach and upper part of the small intestine filled with gas and small calcification in the pancreas

Background:
Numerous studies among the western population have been demonstrated that the intolerance of uncertainty can cause mental disorders such as OCD, anxiety disorder major depressive disorder. The lack of research in this field among the eastern population, especially the Mongolians, is the basis of our study.
Material and Methods
The study was designed as a cross-sectional study with a self-report questionnaire and conducted between December 5th and February 5th of 2022. The Intolerance of Uncertainty scale (IUS-12) is for measuring intolerance of uncertainty, Patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9), and Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7) were used to measuring mental health among study participants. The present study was undertaken following ethical approval from the MNUMS scientific research ethics committee (approval number: 2021/3-06). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24.
Purpose:
The current study was aimed to explore the impact of intolerance of uncertainty on students’ mental health.
Results:
Total of 3137 students (2440 Chinese, 697 Mongolian), 65.7% of them were female students participated in the current study. The mean score of IUS-12 was 33.53±7.72 among Chinese students, while 38.65±8.48 among Mongolians. This reveals the statistically significant (p=0.003) difference intolerance level between Chinese and Mongolian students. Moreover, Chinese students were less depressed and less anxious than Mongolian students. The anxiety and depression level was directly impacted by the influence of intolerance of uncertainty.
Conclusion
Chinese students are more tolerant toward uncertainties than Mongolian students. The intolerance of uncertainty causes depression and anxiety, regardless of nationality.
