BackgroundTraditional Mongolian Medicine has a history of over 5000 years. Scientific development of TM hasstarted in 1959. Since 1999 Mongolia was categorized by WHO as a country having an Integrativesystem of TM- officially recognized and incorporated into all areas of health care provision, TMMresearch has been following key objectives of National R&D programs.AimIn order to assess the situation of TMM development we have conducted this study based on last10 years’ research done.Ìaterial and MethodsDocument study- we have selected key TMM’s R&D project implementers’ archive and humanresources documents.Descriptive and Analytic methods- a survey of 32 questions evaluating participation of TMMprofessionals in R&D work were conducted. Also, to clarify the point of view about TMM’s R&D6 focus group meetings with different level participants, such as professional committee, policymakers and research workers as well as health care providers, were organized.ResultsFrom 2004-2013, there are 28 projects implemented on TMM, 43% accomplished by TMMRTC,32.8% of which is resulting in raw materials standardization and technology study, related clinicalstudies standing 20% out of all studies done on TMM matter. These numbers are confirmed bysurvey and focus group interviews, more than 50% of participants willing to conduct a clinical studyand expressing difficulties such as lack of knowledge of methodology, policy support and revenue.Conclusions:1. TMM R&D has a potential growth due to human resources capacity. Practitioners are leastinvolved in R&D, due to lack of knowledge of methodology and revenue.2. There were 28 projects implemented on TMM matter, most of these are basic studies, fewerclinical studies done, resulting in pharmacopeia monographs and technological guidelines.

IntroductionAH is one of the widest spread diseases, as well as the leading cause of mortality in Mongolia. Even though the AH is well studied throughout the world, with no significant results in health complications caused by AH in different organs and systems, there is a necessity to study the use of other methods in hypertension treatment, such as Mongolian traditional medicine for an adequate management of hypertension, in order to extend the choices of treatments by combining harmless natural multicompound drugs prepared by ancient mongolo-tibetian prescriptions with Chinese acupuncture and other therapy methods such as massage, bloodletting, cupping etc.GoalThe authors have analyzed 260 patient records of hypertension that have been treated only with MTM treatment methods in MONGEM MTM hospital, in order to define: 1) the classification of arterial hypertension according to theory of disease in MTM ;2) the classification of arterial hypertension according to theory of cold and hot in MTM;3) The results of MTM treatments on hypertension.Methods and MaterialsWe have conducted this study by document review and case study by analyzing 260 patient records of “MONGEM” traditional medicine hospital and research center.ResultsAccording to our study almost 80% of arterial hypertension cases start as a hot disease and change into cold disease. Our research results have also shown that 90% of hypertension can be classified into congested, interdependent state of disease and that treatment by MTM methods of combined disease with consideration of changes in hot and cold states is efficient for relieving arterial hypertension.ConclusionOur study has concluded that carefully diagnosed hypertension using MTM disease and disorder classification, and treated with accordingly chosen methods of MTM treatment such as multi-compound drugs, mild and rough techniques, nutrition and behavioral lifestyle changes combined with Chinese acupuncture, gives satisfactory results in healing arterial hypertension, thus providing safe, efficient, affordable and accessible treatment choices for people.

To explore the characteristics of this Lonicera Altaica, the author and her colleagues have been involved in the isolation and structure elucidation on this plant. During the course of this work, we were studied the plant was using by X-ray fl uorescence method at the institute of Physics and Technology of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences (MAS). Based on the results of multiemelent analyses, it was evident that potassium (23227 ppm) was found mainly in the plant and Se (0.34 ppm) preferably in the straw. In this study, the fatty acid composition plant was investigated. The fatty acid profi le analysis of the oil was also carried out by Gas Liquid Chromatography. The oil has three main fatty acids: palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids, linoleic acid being the most abundant. The plant content of the oil showed that 97.75% is unsaturated. It`s high content of linoleic acid is of particular interest especially in the fi ght against antioxidant and atherosclerosis. From the result of the study it was determined the preparation has no toxicity. This preparation has an anti infl ammatory and diuretic activity comparing with the control group. In this study, the protective effect preparation from Lonicera Altaica on liver infl ammation and fi brosis induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) has been investigated in rats. Preparation from Lonicera Altaica signifi cantly suppressed CCI4-induced hepatic necrosis and infl ammation, as determined by the serum enzymatic activities of alanine and aspartate aminotransferase and serum alkaline phosphatase levels. In the histopathological study we carried out liver tissues from each rat were dissected; fi xed in 10 % neutralbuffered formalin. Microscopic examination was conducted on four m thick H. & E. stained sections from paraffi nembedded specimens. Treatment with preparation from Lonicera Altaica attenuated the necro-infl ammation and fi brogenesis in the CCI4-induced hepatic fi brosis, and thus it might be effective as a therapeutic anti-fi brotic agent.

IntroductionNowadays the risk factors for thrombosis include blood stasis, vessel wall injury, and hypercoagulability, as proposed by Virchow over 150 years ago. We chose to study affect of Zomoshin 6 tan to the model of thrombosis formed in experimental animal. It was written in books and sudar that it has action of treating some type’s disease such as blood diluting, meeting frozen blood and treating some gynecological disease.PurposeTo study affect of Zomoshin-6 tan deep vein thrombosis model formed in experimental animal.Material and Methods30 male rats of wistar bread with 180-220 gram of weight for control group, experimental group or Zomoshin-6 tan and comparative group Warfarin. Thirty rats were equally divided into 3 groups: Group 1 received saline alone, Group 2 received Zomoshin-6 (200 mg/kg), and Group 3 received Warfarin as a positive control (0.25 mg/kg), seven days prior to the assessment of thrombus formation. Thrombus formation was also assessed histopathologically. Thrombi were detected in all rats after experimentallyinduced thrombosis.ResultsHistological analysis demonstrated the presence of thrombosis in the interior vena cava (IVC) of the control group, which contained fibrin, erythrocytes, and leucocytes and obstructed the lumen. Only a small amount of fibrin clot, containing a few leucocytes and large numbers of erythrocytes, were observed in the Zomoshin-6-treated group. The thrombus formed in the IVC of Warfarin-treated animals consisted of fibrin clot, which was mostly attached to the wall, with few leucocytes but abundant erythrocytes. These findings suggest that Zomoshin-6 is an effective antithrombotic agent.Conclusion:Zomoshin-6 tan has an action of inhibing thrombosis forming of vein in experimental animal.

Introduction. Garidi-5, a traditional medicine composed of 5 herbs including Terminalia chebula Retz., Aconitum Kusnezoffii Reichb., Acorus calamus L., Saussurea lappa L., and musk of Moschus moschiferus, has been used in traditional Mongolian medicine as an analgesic and antibacterial medicine. The present work was undertaken to evaluate the traditional drug Garidi-5 for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity.Materials and Methods. The method of Winter et al. was used to study acute inflammation. Rats in groups of five each were treated with vehicle, Garidi-5 (20, 80 and 200 mg/kg, p.o.) and Indometacin (10 mg/kg) one hour prior to Carrageenan injection. 0.1 ml of 1% Carrageenan was injected into the subplantar tissue of left hind paw of each rat. Swelling of carrageenan injected foot was measured at 0, 0.5, 2, 4 h using Plethysmometer (UGO Basile, Italy)). The right hind paw was injected with 0.1 ml of vehicle.Results. The Garidi-5 (20, 80 and 200 mg/kg) significantly (P<0.01) inhibited carrageenan induced rat paw edema as compared to control group. Maximum inhibition of paw edema was observed with Garidi- 5 (80 and 200 mg/kg) at 4 h when compared to the control group (Tab.1). In assay data, the TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 secretion in serum were highly elevated by carrageenan induction but administration of Garidi-5 signifi cantly reduced serum secretion of inflammatory mediatorsas compared to vehicle group (Tab. 2).Conclusion. In conclusion, Traditional drug Garidi-5 have anti-in flammatory properties. The potential efficacy of Garidi-5 to treat inflammation is based in a part on the hy pothesis that it will suppress the proinflammatory cytok ines resulting in less oedema.

Abstract:
Numerous researches conducted in Russia, Bulgaria, Japan, and China on B.pubescens, B. pendula, B.rezniczenkoana (Litv) Schischk, B.humilis Schrank, B.mandshurica Rgl Nakai found that birch barks and leaves contain antioxidants and they have anti-cancer, anti-fungi, antibac- terial and anti-inflammatory properties, protect liver and promote bile secretion. Flat leaved birch (B.platyphylla Sukacz) cortex contains betulin and lupeol of triterpenoids and it’s leaves contain flavonoid and polyphenol compounds. The amounts of compounds found in the cortex are smaller than leaves. Specifically, the amount of flavonoid in leaves is more contained than the that of cortex and leaf buds. In any pharmacology study of new medicines, determination and evaluation of toxicity is the first priority. According to scientific evidences that birch leaves are considered to have less toxins. Not many studies have been conducted on determining toxicity of birch leaves in Mongolia. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to study the species of birches, hippolytii birch (B.hippolytii. Sukacz) and flat leaved birch (B.platyphylla. Sukacz), that were noted to have medical properties in traditional medications and identify their acute toxicity using dry extract and determine mortality dosage (LD50) on animals.
Research materials and methods:
Evaluation of the acute toxicity of birch leaves was conducted in Pharmacology laboratory of Monos group’s Drug Research Institute between June 19, 2020 and August 10. In this research, 150-204 g of WISTAR breed non-linear 44 white rats were used and 20 g of B.Hippolytii’s dry extract and 20 g of B. Platyphylla ‘s dry extract were injected.
The experiments to determine the toxicity of dry extracts of B. hippolytii and B. platyphylla (LD50) were conducted according to Litchfield and Wilcoxon’s method and subcutaneous injects were per formed in the pelvic area of the rats.
Results of determining acute toxicity level
The experiments to determine the acute toxicity level of the birch’s dry extracts followed Litchfield and Wilcoxon’s method with 2-stage. LD50 level was determined from the first stage of the research using G.N.Pirshen’s method and the toxicity level was identified using K.K.Sidorov’s toxicity categorization.
From the acute toxicity research, no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL), animal daily dosage and human daily dosage (experimental) were determined. LD50 2950 mg/kg was determined as a result of acute toxicity research of B.hippolytii and B.platyphilla leaves’ dry extract.
