Background: The Incidence of Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) in childhood compare to adulthood not very common. The multifactorial etiology ICH may involve coagulation disturbance, venousinfarction, infection, heart congenital abnormalities, birth asphyxia and trauma. ICH is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates and it’s related to vitamin K deficiency. The previous studies have shown, that 37.8% of children with Cerebral Palsy and 31.2% of infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy had ICH and 48.2% of dead premature infants due to ICH. The number of infants with ICH are increasing year by year. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify and explore influential factors and causes of ICH among infants in own country.Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted atseveral departments such as PICU, neurology, and cardiology of the State Maternal and Child Health Research of Mongolia. Sixty one patient with ICH involved in the case group and one hundred twenty two infants were involved in control group.Statistical methods. The Mann Whitney U and Fisher’sexact tests were used to compare clinical characteristics of thecontrol infants and infants with ICH. Ethics. The present study was approved by the ethics committee of the MoH and MCHRC. Informedparental consent was obtained for each patient before entry into the study.Results: Among children with ICH 95.1% were under one year and just 4.9% were aged 1-5 years. The following causes of ICH in infants aged under one year were identified: hemorrhagic disorder-39.7%; HIE-13.3%, trauma- 10.4%, unknown reason-12.1% and congenital heart abnormality- 3.4% and Intrauterine infection – 3.4%. However, most common cause of ICH among children aged 1-5 years was trauma – 66.7%, and 33.3% were related to infection.Conclusion:1. The incidence of ICH is high among infants.2. The most common cause of ICH among children were hemorrhagic disorder-37.7%; HIE-13.1%; trauma-13.1%; infection-sepsis -14.8%; intrauterine infection- 9.9%; congenital abnormality of the brain- 3.3% and congenital heart defect-3.3%.3. Influential factors of ICH are preeclampsia (OR=8.6), CS (OR=3.4), newborn asphyxia (OR=3.3) and pathological jaundice (OR=6.8).

dicamentous therapy of liver disease there was a necessity to investigate herbal medicine possibility in traditional medicine. In Mongolian traditional medicine more than hundred prescriptions based on animal, mineral raw materials and more than 210 species of plants in various combinations used for liver remedy. But among them the greatest interest has caused us a plant named Chiazospermum erectum L., from the family of Hipecoaceae. In traditional medicine this plant is applied at liver infectious diseases as febrifugal, soothing, at some oncological diseases, diseases of a teeth, and mucous a pharynx. Aim of study was investigation of hepatoprotective effect of Chiazospermum erectum L. (dry extract) on experimental D-galactosamine hepatitis. Methods: Dry extract of Chiazospermum erectum L. was investigated on the experimental D-galactosamine hepatitis. It is well known D-galactosamine caused hepatitis demonstrated very similar pathogenesis and simptoms with viral hepatitis, especially with B-viral infection (Bluger A.F, Maiore A.Ya 1978). The experimental hepatitis was developed in Vistar bred laboratory rats (n=75) by intraperitoneal introduction of D galactosaminein a dose of 0.4 g/kg of animal weight. To animals of the first experimental group, since the beginning of experiment was intragastrically administered extract of Chiazospermum erectum L. in the form of water solution in a dose 25 mg/100gr of animal weights once per day within 14 days. To animals of other experimental group was administered a water solution of comparing (standard) preparation – Cholosasum into volume of 1.0 ml/100 g. In control group under the similar scheme introduced the distilled water in equivalent volume. The interval between administering of D galactosamine, standard preparation and distilled water was 5-6 hours. Results: The hepatoprotective activity of the dry extract of Chiazospermum erectum L. studied on ferment activity ALT, AST in experimental D-galactosamine hepatitis. The AST and ALT levels in the animals of experimental group was 20% and 46% lower than in indices of control group, and the levels of cholesterol, -lipoprotein and bilirubin were 18%, 12% and 14% lower, respectively. Chiazospermum erectum L. demonstrated a hepatoprotective activity on D-galactosamine hepatitis same with a standard remedy – Cholosasum.
Conclusion: ThedryextractfromtheaerialpartofChiazospermum erectum L. during intragastric administering to laboratory animals with D- galactosamine liver damage reducing cytolytic syndromes and choleostasis, promoting the accelerated normalization of its functional condition.

Objectives:
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are known to develop sarcopenia, an agingrelated disorder, with low muscle mass, strength and physical performance. Ultrasound-derived thigh muscle and rectus femoris thickness (TMT and RFT) can be measured easily in clinical practice, but need validation for use in predialysis CKD (stages III through V) for muscle mass estimation. The study aims to compare ultrasound-derived TMT and RFT with bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-derived muscle mass estimation in the diagnosis of sarcopenia in predialysis CKD.
Methods:
Patients with stable CKD stage III, IV, V and not yet on dialysis were recruited, and underwent anthropometric assessment, BIA and ultrasound examination of midthigh region. Appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI)/height2 derived from BIA was taken as a standard for the diagnosis of low muscle mass. Gait speed and handgrip were also measured. The Asian Working Group criteria were applied. Cutoff values for low muscle mass by TMT and RFT were obtained using receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis.
Results:
Of the total of 117 enrolled study participants, 52 (45%) had low muscle mass, 34 (29%) had sarcopenia, of whom 79% were male, majority (38%) were CKD stage IV and had a mean age of 58 years. Using ROC analysis, TMT cutoffs of 19 mm in males and 17 mm in females were computed. Comparison of TMT cutoffs and ASMI/h2 showed good agreement between the 2 methods using Bland-Altman plots.
Conclusions
Ultrasound-derived TMT and RFT can be used for muscle mass estimation in the diagnosis of sarcopenia.

Traditional medical system has been developed in most of the countries. Traditional medicine is recognized in developing countries though its methods of treatments, training, and policy have not fully been implemented into their health care system. In highly developed countries, many schools of allopathic medicine have training of complementary and alternative medicine. School of Traditional Medicine is one of 10 schools of Health Sciences University of Mongolia. Curriculum of traditional medical education has been changed for 4 times since establishment of School of Traditional Medicine in 1989. There is strong need to develop traditional medical education towards to international standards. Traditional medical education policy should be developed based on research and constant supply of traditional medical practitioners and population with useful knowledge.

Background: The prescription of Shar gaa made from the Curcuma
longa L., Tribulus terrestris L., Cortex Phellodendri L., Gardenia
jasminoides L. By reviewing a lot of relative research papers and the
pharmacological dictionaries, we summarized the conclusion that the
efficiency components of the Shar gaa extract is effective to control the
infection of bacteria and the fungi, to relieve skin inflammation and
pain.Aim:We conducted the control experiment to discuss thecontrol
effect of the Shar gaa extract to the fungi and the bacteria. Materials
and methods:We carried out susceptibility test to fungus and bacterium
using medicine dilution method and cup-plate method on the sand clan
proof agar culture and nutrient agar culture. The fungi inhibition results
show that the Shar gaa extract has the significant restrain effects to all
of experimental fungi. It has the better effects to the Microsporum
lanosum M.grpseum、T.rubrum、M. canis、C.albicans、Pityrosporum
than the 20% Ethanol control group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, it has the
same affects with the CAILE extract (P>0.05). In addition, the Shar gaa
extract of high concentration has no significant difference with the one
of the low concentration. This phenomenon demonstrated the truth that
the Shar gaa extract has no concentration diversity to inhibit the fungi
(P>0.05). On the other hand, the bacterium inhibition results
demonstrate that the weak restrain effects of the Shar gaa extract.
Regard to the gram positive bacteria (mainly including the S.aureas,
Bacillus anthraci, Staphylococcus), the Shar gaa extract has the less
effect to control the bacteria than the Penicillin group (P<0.05) and to
the gram negative bacteria (the Pseudomonas) the Shar gaa extract
has the less effect to control the bacteria than the Gentamicin group
(P<0.05). Invalid of the drug-resistant E. coli and the P.mirabilis the
Shar gaa extract group. The 20% Ethanol on bacterial group had no
inhibitory effect. Conclusion: The Shar gaa extract possessed
favourable inhibitory effect to frequent fungus and relative weak
inhibitory effect to general bacterium in clinic. The research
achievement not only expanded the new type of the Shar gaa -4 tan,
but also developed the new usage of the Shar gaa-4 tan. It is to have
the potential guide significance to clinical application.

Background:
Lish-6 has been used for treatment pharyngitis, flu and throat disease. Lish-6 is composed from Eugenia
caryophylla. Thumb, Saussurea lappa C.B. Clark, Schizostachoum chinense. Rendle, Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Fisch, Gentiana algida Pall, Terminalia chebula. Retz. Anti-fever properties of these plants and their bio-active compounds have
extensively been studied.
Aim:
To determine the anti-fever effects of Lish-6.
Marerials and Methods:
Fever was induced by intravenous administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at concentration
of 0.5 mg/kg. Lish-6 was given orally at concentration of 92 mg/kg, 1 and 6 hours after the LPS administration. Rectal
temperature wa measured 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 hours after the LPS administration. Paracetamoli was given orally
at concentration of 50 mg/kg. Blood levels of Prostaglandin E2
(PGE2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) interleukin-1β (IL-1β)
were determined by enzyme linked immune sorbent assay using rat kits. Lung tissue was examined by histopathological
analysis.
Results:
The body temperature of rats in the normal group was 35.0±1.10С, while in the control group, periodic fever was
caused by the effect of lipopolysaccharide (p=0.001). But in the Lish-6 drug group, rectal temperature decreased steadily
(p=0.05). In addition, the IL-1β cytokine in the normal group was 3.24±0.31 ng/L and increased by 60.5% in the control,
indicating the development of the pathological model, while this parameter decreased by 31% in the Lish-6 drug group
(p=0.05). IL-6 cytokine in the normal animals was 21.1±0.2 pg/L and increased by 19.04% in the control, indicating the
development of the pathological model, while this parameter decreased by 8.3% in the Lish-6 drug group (p =0.05). PGE2
in the normal group was 43.2±0.3 ng/L, and it increased by 62.7% in the control group, indicating the development of a
pathological model, while this parameter decreased by 53.3% in the Lish-6 drug group (p=0.05).
Conclusion
Lish-6 traditional drug has the effect of reducing rectal temperature, IL-1β, PGE2 and IL-6 cytokines during
lipopolysaccharide-induced febrile pathology model.

Mongolian Journal of Health Sciences 2025;86(2):125-130
Background:
Silybum marianum, as well as known milk thistle, has long been recognized for its hepatoprotective effects,
primarily attributed to its active flavonolignan complex, silymarin (an extract from water hyacinth fruit). While the
pharmacological effects of silymarin have been studied, research on bioactive peptides derived from Silybum marianum
remains limited.
Aim:
To evaluate the toxicity effects of silybum marianum peptides
Marerials and Method:
This study aimed to evaluate the potential toxicity of Silybum marianum peptide in mice through
a 14-day oral administration experiment. Twenty adult male C57BL/6 mice were divided into two groups: the experimental
group received 200 mg/kg of Silybum marianum peptide daily, while the control group received an equivalent volume
of saline solution. Physiological and biochemical parameters, including body weight, fasting blood glucose levels, liver
and spleen wet weights, as well as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) enzyme activity, were assessed to determine potential
toxic effects. This exploration aims to shed light on the toxicological effects of silybum marianum peptide in mice, providing
insights into its potential benefits and challenges.
Results:
Results indicated no significant differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of body
weight, blood glucose levels, or major organ wet weights. Additionally, ALT enzyme activity remained unaffected, suggesting
no detectable liver toxicity. Throughout the study, no abnormal behaviors, physical changes, or mortality were
observed in the test subjects. Mice in both the silybum marianum peptide and control groups exhibited shiny and soft
fur, normal activity, and regular food consumption. These findings indicate that Silybum marianum peptide exhibits good
safety and low biological toxicity under the tested conditions, supporting its potential use as a safe dietary supplement or
therapeutic agent.
Conclusion
At the designated dosage, silybum marianum peptide demonstrated good safety and low biological toxicity.
