BackgroundChildren’s congenital hip dislocation is ranked first, accounting for 49,4% among other skeletal anomalieswhich cause to physical disability.There is a tendency that the number of newborn with the congenitalhip dislocation is going to be increased in recent years, 5000:1 were in 1976 and 1000:1,3% in 1998.Bilateral dysplasia accounts for 50-62% of the total incidences. In unilateral cases,left hip seems to beinvolved 2 times more than the right,and the sex ratio is 2,5:1. Some cultures who swaddle their infantstightly with their legs straightened have a far greater incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip. Aresearch indicated that discouraging this traditional swaddling method has reduced the prevalence ofdevelopmental dysplasia of the hip and congenital hip dislocationby 6 times in America. It is noted thatthis methodhas also been implemented in Japan and Turkey.Aim.This research aimed to study about the prevalence of congenital hip dislocation, developmental dysplasiaof the hip and other anomalies among the children who were underwent treatment at Pediatric Traumaand Orthopedic Department of National Trauma and OrthopedicResearch Centre of Mongolia in 2013-2015 and children served by outpatient visit in the clinics in 2011-2015.The following objectives were defined in the scope of the research. Herein:1. Evaluate and determine the percentage and prevalence of congenital hip dislocation anddevelopmental dysplasia of the hip among the children who undergo treatment in Pediatric Traumaand Orthopedic Departmentof National Trauma Orthopedic Research Center of Mongolia.2. Evaluate and determine the percentage and prevalence of congenital hip dislocation, developmentaldysplasia of the hip and other anomalies among children who are being served by outpatient visit inClinics of National Trauma and Orthopedic Research Center of Mongolia.Materialis and MethodThis research were studied the prevalence of congenital hip dislocation, developmental dysplasia of thehip and other anomalies among the children who were underwent treatment at Pediatric Trauma andOrthopedic Department of National Trauma and OrthopedicResearch Centre of Mongolia in 2013-2015and children served by outpatient visit in the clinics in 2011-2015.ResultTotal of 40559 inpatients underwent treatment in National Trauma andOrthopedic Research of Mongolia;of which 12217 were inpatient in Pediatric Trauma and Orthopedic Department, aged 0-19;of which1351 has been registered with birth defects of hip; of which 248 has been diagnosed with developmentaldysplasia hip, 869 with congenital hip dislocation. Sex ratio of cases of congenital hip dislocationinmales to female is around 1:4.Total of 633 (13,8%) examinations were performed in the clinics in 2011;704 (15,3%) in 2012;962 (20,9%)in 2013;1013 (22%) in 2014;1287 (28%) in 2015 respectively. It shows an increase in the number ofexaminations year by year.Total of 4142 (90,1%) cases were diagnosed with congenital hip dislocation and developmental dysplasiain both hips; left hip has been dislocated 2 times more than the right, 162 (3,5%) with congenitaldislocation of right hip; 292 (6.4%) with congenital dislocation of left hip.ConclusionTo conclude, the analysis above shows that the prevalence of developmental dysplasia of the hip andcongenital hip dislocation is still high in Mongolia. Therefore, number of diagnosis with congenital hipdislocation has rapidly increased in the recent 2 years.

Introduction:
Sarcopenia is a prevalent condition characterized by decrease in muscle strength and loss of body
function which result from the decrease of muscle mass in older age. In 2014, the Asian Working Group
for Sarcopenia developed the diagnosis criterion for sarcopenia. The measurements were changed to
accommodate for the physical characteristics of asians. The loss of muscle mass increases after age 40
and decreases by 8 percent every 10 years. After age 70 this number is increased to 15 percent every
10 years.
Goal:
Assess the prevalence of sarcopenia among men by comparing body height and mass
Materials and Methods:
The study included 196 older men aged 40 and above chosen by random sampling from the geriatric and
rehabilitation cabinets of the Mongolian National Gerontology Center.
Sarcopenia diagnosis was made based on the criteria from the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia
using methods by Janssen I and others to compare body mass and height.
Results:
Comparing body muscle mass and height 11.7 percent of participant aged 40-86 had sarcopenia. When
comparing body muscle mass and weigth 33.2 percent had sarcopenia.
Conclusion
Determining sarcopenia among Mongolian men by comparing muscle mass and body mass resulted in
33.2 percent sarcopenia. When compared with height, 11.7 percent had sarcopenia.

Introduction:
In 2018, the overall colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence rate was 3.6%, according to the
National Cancer Center of Mongolia (NCCM), and the incidence of colorectal cancer has increased
slightly in recent years. According to cancer stages, late stage cancer has a 5-year survival rate of
51%, while early stage cancer has a 5-year survival rate of 79%. The overall survival rate of colorectal
cancer in Mongolia has not been studied in precisely. In Asia, the 5-year survival rate for colorectal
cancer was 60%. Therefore, this study investigated the colorectal cancer survival rate and prognostic
factors at NCCM.
Methods:
A total of 108 patients diagnosed with CRC at NCCM’s General Surgery Department from
2013 to 2015 were used in this retrospective cohort study. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to
develop the survival graphs, which were then compared using the Log-rank test.
Results:
The median survival time was 42 months, with a 95% CI (38.55-45.66). A 5-year period,
the overall survival rate for CRC was 61.2%. Survival rates at the I, II, III, and IV stages were 100%,
75%, 65.4%, and 13.5%, respectively. There was a significant difference in CRC survival rates across
all stages (p=0.0001). There was a statistically significant difference in determining the relationship
between adjuvant chemotherapy and survival rate (p=0.0003).
Conclusion
The outcome of the surgery is determined by the CRC stage. The postoperative survival
rate (61.2%) is directly related to tumor stage, peripheral glandular metastasis, distant metastasis,
and chemotherapy effects.
